COULDN'T PAY HIS FARE.

A young Frenchman. apparently about
70 years of age: we'll dressed and of good
appearance, created no end Of trouble for
Conductor BENZ. Morse last evening on
the S. As train due from Montreal yester-
day afternoon. The young man boarded
the train at Lewiston junction and
secreted himself In the gentlemen's toilet.
The boy locked the door and sprung the
lock so that a key could1not be used to
unlock it. 1t was the intention of the
Young man to evade his fare.
On the arrival at Portland Policeman
Frank was called to arrest the boy. After
Is minutes persuasion the young man
unlocked the door and came out. He said
that he belonged in Boston and wanted
to get back home, and only had five cents
with him. A collection was taken
among some of the commercial travellers
and the hacl1men gathered about, and in
few minutes the fare was paid and the
young man released.
Through the efforts of the Grand
Trunk officials passage was then secured
for the young man on the Boston boat
to his home.

which were much appreciated by all.
Refreshments were served by the young
ladies of the church during the evening.

born in Appleton, Knox county, and
when boy left home for the sea, which

his hunting knife out and was getting
some gum from tree among some old
blow downs. He heard a little noise Eand
looking around saw big bear within
about ten feet of him and other ooming.
Sam said he grabbed his rifle, and just
as she was going to come over the log to
tackle him he shot her through the head
and she fell back dead. Then he whirled
to tho left and put bullet through q
small BEARS head, when he found that he
had no more cartridges In his rifle, and
there was big bear coming right for
him. Sam didn't have time to put any
cartridges into the magazine, and the

Capt. Rhodes of the Starlight said that
that he and his crew had been afloat In
the boats for Is hours. The Starlight had
grounded on Hog Sly Reef four days pre-
vious. All had remained by the brig un-
til she began to break up. They were then
compelled to forsake her. The boats were
lowered and the sailors, taking some
clothing and food from the brig, put into
the Windward passage, hoping to intercept
a vessel. The boats were old and began
The men were kept bailing the water
out of the boats and it was only by this

SANK WITH ALL ON BOARD.
schoonerlst. Peters of Cape vinoentLost on
Lake Ontario.

Rochester, N. Y, October 27.-A special
to the Herald from Sodus says: This
noon about five miles northwest of Sodus,
ON lake Ontario the three masted schoon-
er st. Peters of Capo Vincent sank with
all on board, save one. the captain, who
was rescued in an unconscious condition.
The schooner showed signals of distress
early this morning as she drifted past
Charlotte. The tug Proctor put out
after her but after cruising about for four
hours, returned without getting q
glimpse of the distressed vessel. During
the forenoon the people at Pultneyville
sighted the st. Peters and autographed to
Sodus Point for help The tug CorDelia
started out, but the great seas nearly
swamped her and she was compelled to
return to the harbor. Word was sent to
Charlotte and the tug Proctor started
from there with the life saving crew.
When within q mile of st. Peters the
crew of the Proctor saw the distressed
ship sink. In ten minutes the tug was
cruising about the spot where she went
down. The captain Of the ST. Peters was
picked up unconscious. After spending
half an hour looking for the other MEM
bers Of the i'll -fated Grew, the tug started
for Sodus Point, where medical assistance
was secured for the captain. He is still
unsconscious and it is impossible to learn
the number of men who met death. 1t
is known, however, that the wife of the
cantain was drowned. Eight or ten per-
sous at least persisted. The captain will
recover.
Persons on shore who saw the st.
Peters 90 down say that two men were
standing at the mast when the waters
swallowed them. It is thought that the
ST. Peters lost her rudder and that the
heavy seas caused her to spring aleak.

ENLIsTMENTs IN REGULAR ARMY.
In Future They Must Be For Full Term
of Three Years.

Washington, Ocotber 27.-By direction
of the secretary of war, Col. Thomas
Ward, acting adjutant general, has issued
general order in regard to the cases Of
mem bers of volunteer organizations who
enlisted therefrom in the regular army.
1t is explanatory of previous general
order issued in September last, prescIib-
ing that such men would be given credit
for their services in the volunteer army.
The endorsement required by the regu.
lations on the enlistment papers of men
who have served in the volunteer army,
and who subsequently enlist in the regu-
lar army, results in giving such soldiers
credit on the records of the department
for time actively served in the volun-
teer army, but without intention that
the term of enlistment Or re enlistment
in the regular army shall be shortened
by reason of volunteer service.
The principal advantages, however, ac-
crue to those who re-enlisted in the regu-
lar army within three months from cate
of discharge from the volunteer army.
In their cases the time actually served
In the volunteers is added to the time
served in the regular army in computing
the soldiers service pay from time to
time.
Future enlistments and re .enlistments
in the regular army will not be governed
by the same rules which prevailed during
the war with Spain. On May 80 last,
Major General Miles, with the approval
of the secretary of war issued an order
announcing that: "Men enlisted or REL
enlisted In the regular army during the
war may be informed that they will be
granted their discharges, if desired, at
the close of the war, upon their individual
applications.
General Miles today issued an order
revoking the previous order and an
nounced that it's provisions would not
govern in the cases of mon hereafter en-.
listed or ra.eulisted in the regular army.
Under this action all enlistments OF re-
enlistments in thu regular army will be
