VERY NEAR FATAL.
Castine Man and Wife Nearly Sufocated from
Smoke in Burning Home.

Castine, July CA fire which was
destroyed the greater part of the
house occupied as q dwelling by
Charles Wood and his wife, and as a
shop for the sale of notions. toys and
fireworks by Aaron Chamberlain.
There was an insurance to the amount
of $1,000 on the structure and the stock
of goods was lightly covered. The
household furniture is a total loss and
most of the stock is ruined. The fire
originated with a match. probably
dropped in a corner and rolled in a
crevice in the wall.
This was one of the most obstinate
fires which Castine has seen for some
years. and it came near being directly
connected with tragedy of horrifyins
proportions.
During Saturday night, or until mid
night at least. men and boys have
been in front of the Chamberlain store
firing crackers and torpedoes. There
was also lot of men inside. At late
hour the place was closed for the
night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Wood live up
stairs over the shop. and they We're
sleeping when the fire broke out. No
body knows how the blaze started. but
there is reason to believe that match
oarelessy thrown to the floor. rolled In
a crevice in the dry wall and there
smouldered until it had formed big
spark.
About 230 o'clock, Mr.. Woods awoke
suddenly with a dreadful feeling at his
throat and chest and a sensation OF
faintness and lack of strength that
instantly alarmed him, well-nigh
paralyzed as he was. He Immediately
tried to arouse his wife. Il am dying. >
gasped he, thinking he was expiring
with heart failure or some other sud
den attack.
Mrs. Wood did not at once awaken.
and her husband made the best OF his
way out of bed. and staggered TO ms
feet. Then he realized that the house
was filled with the densest smoke ana
that both himself and his wife were
near diving from suffocation. He in
stantly went to the woman's aid ana
succeeded in arousing her so that she
could put or some clothing Mean
while, he gave an alarm of fire which
was taken up by late celebrators yet
on the lonely streets of the town.
Later the fire was eXtingulshed, put
only after a hard fight 1t had pene-
trated the floors and partitions ana 1t
was almost impossible to locate 1t.
The dense smoke had made work dan
gerous and difficult. Mr.. woods loss
is almost total, and his household
goods are ruined.
ne had very narrow escape from
death, and so did his wife.

SHORT LIBERTY.
King Bunco-Man Does the
Town for $685.,
Arrested by Gardiner Authorities But
Escapes from Marshal Morse.
He Was Captured Late Monday Night. How.
ever, and Landed in Jail.

From all accounts he is a bird of a
boy. this "bunco man." which has
tapped our city to the tune of $5125.
They say he is nice-looking boy,
too; very pleasant, in fact, quite what
one would call smooth. Yes, very
smooth.
Word was noised abroad, Monday,
shortly after l o'clock, that there had
been rascal among US, and investi-
cation showed that this was even so.
And further investigation gave the
$50; Miss c. A. Libby, $50; Charles B.
Murphy, s6.25: John Coughlin, IS; total,
s5l25.
With speedy work they lodged the
rascal in the police station at Gar
diner and they even got him as far as
Kennebec Jail. He had ridden in the
custody of Marshal Morse from Gar
diner, and was seated in the carriage
as it stood before the jail,when in some
way it r5ol Il Iidliu IcltdStu IIOIll ttle
wrister, and before the marshal had
time to grab him, had made for the
gully that runs down back of the jail.
There he was seen, trying, between
two rocks. to hammer the shackles'
loose from his hand that was still
burdened. Alarmed at pursuit, he ran
again. and no one seems to know what
under the sun became of him. This was
about $50 O'Clock
There We're a hundred stories or
more abroad. Some saw him crawl
into the barn of Hon J. w Bradbury
Others say they saw him jump into a
hay rack. In less than no time the
news spread that the fellow was at
large. The people came from all d.
rections. Men and boys secured the
woods and neighboring buildings, barns
in particular. But no man could they
find, and not until late last night was
the fellow captured.
Marshal Morse said that he talked
very little; in fact, that he didn't
speak over half -a-dozen words on
their way UP from Gardiner.
He describes him as light-com-
plexioned man, rather slim, and fleet
8 inches in height. His hair lis jet
black, and his eyes are grayish. He
is smooth-faeed and appears to be
about "A years of age.
His ways of doing business are well
told by Miss Libby and Mrs. Leigh
ton.
The former was called upon by a
Journal reporter and told the following
story:
"The fellow came to my store at about |
1890, and wanted two items for $40 in |
smaller bills, to send away in letter |
which he held, all stamped and di- |
rected. in his hand. l let him have
the money, and while l was counting
the roll he handed me, he sealed his |
letter to all appearances enclosing the
two $40 bills. l called his attention
to the fact that there was only $19 in
the roll he handed me. He said, L
guess you are mistaken and counted |
after me remarking. Well. that's so,
l just got it at the bank, and I guess
they've made mistake, will go in
and have it corrected
Il hesitated and said, What shall I
have?'

CHEAP JOURNALISM.

What the Media American edited by red
headed and hopeful Tom Cooper, says Of
cheap and sensational journalism isapplicable
to this section. The past five years have
done more to dcmoralize some of the great
journals Of this and other counties than any
like period known to history. 1t started
with cheap journalism-the desire to give for
a penny or two pennies that which before
cost more, but this was not in itself an evil,
in view of an improved field and opportunity.
The direct evil is sensatonalism, and while
this is only partly traceable to cheapness,i it is
SO prominent feature of sensational Journal
ism
This class of journalism has found too
many imitators, and too many who partially
initiate until now it is difficult to find a
great solid daily, giving only clean and
truthful news giving thoughts well ma
tured and strong enough to encourage the
growth not only of great editors but Of great
men in every reading community. The
general tendency is to disgust the thoughtful
and to belittle those not well informed-to
give false ideas of life, business and govern
ment.
The greatest evil of the times is sensa-
tional journalism. 1t leads to and encour-
ages like stuff in trade, in the pulpit in
legislative halls, and even effects Presi-
dental chairs and thrones. Let us have
done with it.

force me you have got to send bigger
man than that" he continued, pointing
his finger at the sergeant alarms, who is
by no means a robust person.
Sergeant-at-Arms Devilbiss advanced to
Mr.. Smiths seat. Some of Mr.. Smith S

sit down, however, and when the sergeant
alarms requested him to take his seat he
did so, but with a scowl at the speaker.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

The free-for-all race now on for the Re
publican presidential nomination is becoming
more interesting as the time for the assembl-
ing of the clans at st. Louis draws nearer.
Two conventions were held ON Tuesday.
The, Buckeye state declared for Mckinley
9Th much enthusiasm. Nobody expected
/Ohio to do anything else, Kansas was also
heard from, ana its twenty delegates will
support the great exponent Of protection
until the final roundup comes, when they
will be found with the winning candidate.
Yesterday the Iowa convention instructed
its twcnty-six delegates to vote for its
lavorite son, Senator Allison. The conven-
tions held this week may be said to express
the will Of the Republican voters of the
respective localities, and, unlike those held
last week, will cast their electoral vote for
the Republican nominee.
The Mckinley managers, and especially
Mark A. Hanna, have adopted plan Of cam
paign that win certainly injure their
favorite chances. The statement has been
made, and without positive contradiction SO
far that Mr.. Hanna has solicited eontribu-
tions from leading manufacturers in the East
with the object Of promoting Mckinley
nomination The standard-bearer Of the
Republican party in 1896 must be the free
and untrammelied choice of the voters Of
that party.
