1T MUST HAVE BEEN A TREAT.
And Recalled Memories of Thirty Years
Ago.

After the performances at The Jeffer-
son, Tuesday night, President Wright
invited Speaker Reed, the directors of
the theatre, and the Messrs Fay the man
ayers, to meet with his guest, Mr.. Jeffer-
son, at his house. From the whisperings
about the affair that come to our ears it
must have been an occasion of rare enjoy
ment. The quiet wit of Mr.. Jefferson IS
of record that of Mr.. Wilson, as exem-
plified by his little speech between the
acts, is exceedingly keen; while the dry
wit of Mr.. Reed has gone to the very
core of the national reputation for humor.
just think of those three men, with their
peculiar characteristics passing jokes and
telling stories. The only like instance we
can recall was years ago, when Artemas
Ward, Dan Setchell, the lamented come
dian, and Gale Loring the great shot and
fisherman, met at Mr.. Loring's "shan-
ty' at Scarboro, and had fish dinner.
The few who were present then and lis
tened to those celebrated raconteurs have
never forgotten it.

dies visited the various interests of the
Grand Trunk yesterday forenoon. They
were taken through the big elevator and
shown over it from top to bottom by Mr..
Davis, it's manager. The belts in the
long wharf galleries were started, that
the visitors might thoroughly understand
the duties performed by the big elevator.
After everything had been seen the party

ger Cooling Of the Casco Bay line had in
waiting at the wharf and went for sail
around the harbor and islands. The visi-
tors went into rapturesrrover Portland and
its harbor beauties
Mr.. Reeve returns immediatelysto Mon
treal. The rest of the party took the noon
train to Boston.
Work will be pushed with great rapidity
on the Grand Trunk wharf extension in
order to have it completed in time for the
English Tsteamers. Only about ten feet
of plankin has been driven and the ex-
tension calls for one hundred feet Lack
of necessary material is causing the delay.

First Details Of Tragedy on Olive
Picker.
STORY OF ANDERSON BEFORE THE
VICE CONSUL.
The Captain Shot in His Cabin and the
Mate on Deck-vessel Then Burned.

Mr.. R. A. Read of Bahia, Brazil, has
sent to the Boston Globe the first detailed
account of the murder of Captain ]. w.
Whitman and Mate Saunders, Of the
schooner Olive Pecker. Mr.. Read was
present at the hearing at Bahia, where
John Anderson, the murderer, told his
story to American Vice Consul Brice.
Anderson is not villainous or bold look
ing man; his countenance and bearing,
indicating rather weakness and timidity.
After Anderson had been worn. and
after his excitement and fear had been
guieted by reassuring words from Consul
Brice, Anderson told his story. He said
that after the first three weeks of the voy
age himself and the rest of the crew were
treated very roughly by both Captain and
mate. One day, after the captain had
struck him in the mouth for the second
time, he appealed to the mate for protec-
ton but was roughly repulsed.
Anderson claims that after this he
feared for his live and carried revolver.
One day in the cabin the captain, he
alleges, was about to strike him with
bottle; and he fired, the bullet striking
the captain in the head and instantly
killing him.
Anderson further says that when he
rushed on deck he was menaced by the
mato with marlin spike, and thereupon
shot at him. The mate rushed at him,
and Anderson fired two more shots, the
last one killing the mate.
The crew met then, and 1t was decided
to throw the bodies into the sea. and burn
the vessel, as they did not know how to
navigate her.
They took to the boats, getting to land
in forty eight hours.
John Lind, better looking man than
Anderson, but pale and frightened, con .
frmed Anderson's story about the request
to the mate for protection. On August
9th he heard noise in the cabin, and
soon saw Anderson come out with the re-
volver and in a state of great excitement.
Anderson said he had killed the captain
and was going to kill the mate. This he
proceeded to do at once, Lind meanwhile
in excitement being engaged in calling
the crew.
Lind intimates that the steward COM
PEELED them to leave the vessel.

ARE VERY MUCH ALIVE.
The Two Freeport Shoemakers Who Were
Supposed to Have Been Drowned.

Elmer S. Cross OF Ellsworth, who with
a companion, N. L. Harvey of Lewiston,
was supposed to have been drowned by
the capsizing of skiff at Freeport, on
Casco bay, turns out to be very much
alive.
1t will be remember that on Satur-
day July "a, Gross and Harvey fellow en-
ployes in W. Shaw q Co.'s shoe factory
at Freeport, hired small boat for row
down the bay. This was the last seen of
them. At first it was thought they had
become lost in the fog, but when severn /
days passed, the belief that they wei =
drowned grew stronger, and came to be
generally accepted. Gross left a wife
and six children in Ellsworth, and Har-
vey vito in Lewiston.
One day last week John Dorr of Ellis
worth, who is visiting Lynn met Gross
and talked with him. In writing home
about. the matter he 80. did
not say that Gross made
any explanation of why he ran away,
leaving his wife and aged father to be-
lieve that he was dead. He did say that
Gross had been working in shoe factory
near Lynn, but was at present out of
work. He expected soon to go to fac
tory at Kennebunk.
In regard to Harvey, Detective Odlin
of Lewiston \ says that on Tuesday he
received a letter from City Marshal Tar
box saying that Harvey was there work
ing under his own name and admitted
that he left Freeport as indicated.
