This increase in Uncle Sans business
at Warren seems to have displeased
no one except the cynical and egotist-
ic editor of the Warren Register, just
because one, John P. Mattson, is in
cidentally benefited thereby. We re-
member how little over a year ago
the Register announced with a great
deal of satisfaction that the salary
for the past year would be reduced,
it being known at the time that John
P. Mattson would be the postmaster.
Yes, Charlie, we know that this little
Post Office matter will sour on your
mind, prey on your vitals and haunt
you in your sleep during the rest of
your natural life, but we can't help it..

AS AN indication of returning pros
perity in this section of the state may
be mentioned the fact that the bust
ness at the Warren Post Office during
the past year has increased so as to
make the gross receipts exceed So, 700,
thus increasing the salary Of the
postmaster for the coming year by
two hundred dollars, making it 81 300,
the same as it was during the last
year when Gordon held the Office.

IT was quite a joke on the delegates
to the populist state convention to
find upon examining their return
tickets that these were issued on ac-
count OF the democratic convention.
The designation was perfectly prop
er, however. The populist party in
this state is really but an adjunct to
the democratic party.

Nor much can be said about the
war situation this week. The Ameri-
can fleet is still blockading Santiago
harbor. A large body of troops are
said to have embarked to assist in the
reduction of Santiago. A small b.
dy of American marines were landed
at Guantanamo, and these have had
several hot skirmishes with the
Spaniards.

Mr.. STEVENSON would make strong

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Young Boy Nearly Run OVERLY Electric
Car.


What cams near proving serious accl'
dent was happily averted by the quick
presence of mind of Motorman Winberg
of the Cape electric road yesterday. Inc
cars which leaves Monument square az
l1.45 q. M, was going along Commerc1al
street at fair rate Of speed, the motor-
man jingling his bell to warn teams ana
people crossing the streets, when, JUST
as the car had got to the foot OF Park
street. a boy about five years old, came
dashing down the hill on sled, and
would pass directly in trout of the car.
The boy could not stop, and Motorman
Winberg saw that If the car was not
stopped the youngster would be under. the
wheels and probably killed. Quicker
than it takes to tell it the power was
reversed and the brakes jambed down
hard, bringing the passengers on to their
feet and the car was. brought to full
stop just as the boy brushed against the
front wheel of the car. Conductor Often
and some of the passengers jumped off to
see if the boy was injurd in any way, but
the youngster simply got on to his feet
and scampered off with his sled, little
realizing probably how near he had
come to sudden death.

UNCLE STRUCK HIS NEPHEW.

Cape Porpoise, January 11.-Ihere was
serious trouble on board the fishing
schooner Thomas W. Lane, which arrived
home yesterday from Boston. The par
ticipants in the quarrel were Frederick
W. Nunan, fisherman, and his uncle,
Elisha E. Nuuan, the cook.
According to Frederick's story when
the schooner wasssssoff Deer island light,
Sunday, on her way back from Boston,
where her fare of fish had been sold, he
found some fault with his uncle about
thesssscooking of the meat. Heated words
ensued, and the two men loft the cabin
and started on deck to have it out.
AS the nephew was going up the COM
panionway his uncle seized a hatchet and
struck him on the head, telling him. A
thick wooden cap had prevented the
weapon from doing fatal injury, but the
blade left a wound over an inch long and
extending to the bone.
The cook left town soon after the
schooner reached here. The nephew has
retained ex-Mayor Charles S. Hamilton
of Biddeford as counsel, and will begin
legal proceedings against his assailant.

SUPERIOR COURT.
Two Prominent Citizens of Grey Charged
With Selling Liquor.

| George S. Snow, proprietor of Hotel
Parker at Gray, and I'll. 7. Collier, a well
known grocer of that town were before
Judge Bonney in the Superior court yes
terday afternoon on charges of selling
liquor.
Their prosecution was the outcome OF
an uprising on the part Of the officers OF
Pennell Institute at Gray, in consequence
of recent sensation i'll that school. One
day, a few weeks ago, several of the
students who had before borne good
reputation put in an appearance in an in
toxicated condition. They were suspended
from the school, and their parents and
the officers of the school began an investi-
CATION with view to prosecuting the
parties from whom the boys bought the
liquor.
The suspended scholars were summoned
before the grand jury and there they
testified that they purchased of Mr.. Collier
some old cider, and something that he
termed "bitters.'' but which had strong
favor of whiskey. They said they did not
purchase the liquor directly Of the hotel
keeper, Mr.. Snow, but they tchipped in"
and sent third party to the hotel and
he bought some for them.
1t also came out in the testimony before
the grand jury that four boys, one OF
them fourteen years of age, had purchased
cigarettes at Golfers store So in addition
to the liquor nuisance Indictment, an in
dictment charging him with selling
cigarettes to minors was found against
him. That indictments contained four
counts.
Mr.. Snow pleaded not guilty to the
liquor nuisance charge. When Mr.. Collar
was arraigned his response to the several
charges was that he was not guilty, but
would plead guilty to save the court
further trouble. Judge Bonney tined
Collier 5000 on the nuisance indictments
and $25 each on the four counts in the
cigarettes indictment, the whole With
costs aggregating $406.
Mr.. Collier seemed overwhelmed with
surprise at the amount OF his fines. lie
had come prepared to settle, but had sup
posed that about 500 would be sufficient
amount. He had not enough money with
him to pay the full fine, and he was
obliged to spend the night in the county
Jail. He expects to be able to raise the
necessary sum today.
The following respondents in liquor
cases paid fines and costs amounting TO
over $3.50: Charles Quinn, $500; VIM.
Cary, $500; John C. Dupray, 5000; STEPHEN
J. ellis, $500; George Mcdonald, S200.
The costs in each case were Sl1.92.
Matthew Foley, on liquor nuisance;
was fined $500 or six mouths i'll jail, and
a search and seizure 500 or sixty days in
Jail. Committed.
George W, Snow, nuisance, plead not
guilty. Joseph W. Rounds, indicted for
grave robbery, retrscted his plea and
plead nolo contendere.
Demurrers were filed and bail given in
nuisance cases against Charles Sylvester.
