REMARKABLE AURoRAL DISPLAY

Boston, March 15-One of the finest
auroral displays seen in this vicinity
for many years, flashed and glowed in
the northern heavens for an hour or more
this evening. Great waves OF light
swept IN grand arch from east to
west and back again, variegated by long
streamers stretching to the zenith which
snapped ana almost glistened against
the blackness of the sky. A greenish
tinge was the predominating color, but
many of the intense portions of the dis
pIay had crimson hue. The spectacle
was over by 8 o'clock, but during the dis
play all telegraph wires were seriously
affected. The aurora was seen through
out New England, being especially bril-
liant in Maine.

WAS 1T ILLNESS OR ASSAULT
Miss Augusta Woodford's Strange Expert
ence.

Several days ago Miss Augusta Wood
ford of Ocean street, Deering, met with
a strange mishap, which has some appear
ance of highway robbery. She is employed
in Portland and came in on the early car
from Deering at about GAS a. m. She
started to walk up Congress street and
remembers nothing which happened to
her. She was found insenible, lying on
Brown street, short distance from Con-
gress. She was cared for in house near
where she was found but for some time
could not tell her name Later she told
where she lived and was sent home. She
had a purse with six dollars in it and this
is missing, also ring from her finger.
The young lady is now very i'll and has
been afflicted with commissions. Some of
her friends think she was knocked down
and robbed. The matter has not been
reported to the Portland police and it is
more than probable that she was seized
with sudden illness, though she had not
been subject to such attacks. The loss of
her purse and ring is the mysterious part
of the affair.

Another Clam-Flat Case in he Municipal
Court Today.

Another one of those clam-fiat cases
will be heard in the Municipal court this
morning. The case is against Renwood
Brewer and Sumner Hamilton, two we'll
known farmers Of Cumberland.
There has of late been frequent COM
plant that parties from adjoining towns
have visited the clam fats of Harpswell
and taken therefrom CLAIMS, which they
have hawked about the streets and other
wise made what disposition of them they
saw fit. This action is in direct violation
of law not long since passed by the
citizens of Harrswell to the effect that no
outsiders should be allowed to take CLAIMS
from the fats of Harpswell. Therefore,
when Brewer and Hamilton, as it Is al
legged in the warrant, visited the fats of
Harpswell on the fourth day of March,
it was not long before complaint was
made to Constable Her bert W. Bailey,
who proceeded to find the offenders and
to notify them that they had laid them
selves liable to arrest. Then Constable
Bailey came up to this city and lodged a
formal complaint against Brewer and
Hamilton. A warrant was next issued
and handed to Deputy Sheriff Bucknam
and on Monday morning he started to go
down to Harpswell by steamer: He had
reached the wharf and was on the point
of boarding the steamer when he saw
Brewer and Hamilton alighting. The
officer at once accosted them and told
them his errand, stating that he intended
to have them arraigned in the Municipal
court at Wednesday mornings session.
The two men were not surprised at being
confronted by; the deputy sheriff, who re-
leased them on their personal recognize
ance to be in court at the stated time.
Brewer and Hamilton then consulted
Hon. E. Dudley Freeman, whom they
have retained as counsel.
The officers Of Harpswell maintain that
already the clam flats are nearly destroyed
as result of these ineursions of intrud-

SEIZED WITH DELIRIUM 1REMENS
Monday night young woman came to
the Park hotel, took room and left
word that she wished to. be called at about
nine yesterday morning. When the porter
called her yesterday morning she was
seized with fit of delirium tremens and
she gave the people in the hotel hard
struggle to keep her from inflicting harm
upon herself. In her more rational mo-
ments she said she lived in Bangor, but
refused to give her name. She said she
had been drinking hard for "a week and
had eaten practically nothing during that
time. After vain endeavors to restore her
on the part of the people in the hotel the
police were notified and the woman was
taken to the house of correction.
