A ROYAL INNKEEPER. The King
of Wurtemburg may certainly be
said to be the only Knight OF the
Garter who is a hotel keeper as
well as a monarch. This has long
been a tradition in his family, but
not till lately was it discovered by
the rulers of the beautiful little
German kingdom how profitable
inn keeping can become. When
Peter the Great was travelling in.
cognito through Europe he refused
to stop anywhere but at an inn. To
circumvent this whim the then
King oi Wurtemburg put a tavern
side outside one Of the royal pal
aces, and dressed as an innkeeper,
himself welcomed the Car. This
royal personage's descendant now
owns two large hotels, from which
he is said to derive a revenue Of
6G2,ooo a year.

Some time last autumn a freight car on
the Maine Central was entered and case

day, when some one told Officer Bonner

peared to be quantity of stolen goods.
Officer Bonner made investigation and
found case containing forty two hundred
cigars, OF the brand Cuban Bellies, and he
Immediately took them in charge while

from the car by tramps who had succeeded

covered that the casa contained cigars and
when the train reached Portland they
threw the case out of the car and then
placed it in the tomb at the cemetery,
after removing about eight hundred for

SAYS TWO WERE DROWNED.
Woman Who Claims to Have Seen the
Affair Created Great Excitement.

At an early hour yesterday morning a
woman who lives on Custom House
wharf and whose name is Belle Griffin
created considerable excitement on Com
mercial street by proclaiming that q man
and woman had been drowned III the
dock adjoining Custom House wharf. The
woman is employed in a restaurant on
this wharf and sleeps above the place
where she works. She stated that she
had been awakened about four O'Clock by
the noise of some one singing and shout
ing and looking out of her bed room win
dow saw man and woman evidently I'M
der the influence Of liquor singing and
dancing on S. A. Skillings lobster car.
How they came there she did not know,
but while she was looking at them the
man fell overheard. The woman who
was with him screamed for help, but in
minute the man came ND again and
chung to the side of the lobster car while
the woman tried to pull him out on to the
car.
The witness of this accident ran out on
to the street to get assistance, but when
she and the engineer and fireman of a
passing Grand Trunk shifting engine got
back to the wharf both the man and the
woman had disappeared.
The matter was reported to the police
and all the forenoon and late into the
afternoon men were engaged dragging
the dock where the bodies of the supposed
drowned persons were, but no trace OF
them were found. The police do not be-
lieye the man and woman were drowned,
but the witness of the affair still main
tains that she is sure both the man and
woman fell off the lobster car and were
drowned.
Mrs. Griffin saw so many things that
she was finally taken to the insane ward
of the almshouse, upon advice of physi-
clans.

SUICIDE BUT NOT MURDER.
Jealous Italian Fails to Kill Imam.
Orata But Kills HIMSELF

Boston, May 3l.-Salvator Colella, 20
years old, tried to murder Catherine Di
Rossa. an attractive young woman, So
years Old by shooting her in the neck
when in front of 351 Hanover street last
evening.
After firing the shot at the woman, and
seeing her fall to the pavement with
blood streaming from the wound on her
shoulder, Colella turned the revolver
upon himself. and sent a bullet into his
brain, causing his death 10 minutes later.
The woman was but slightly injured by
the bullet. Jealousy is said to have led
Colella to commit the deed.
The police are greatly stirred up over
the shooting following so closely on the
murder of Foreman Ellis by Di Brassi,
the Italian, and say that it goes to show
that there are a great many Italians in
the city who carry concealed weapons.
The legislature may be appealed to in tho
near future to adopt laws granting the
police power to search suspected persons
for weapons. This. the police say, Is
the only way to put stop to Italian
shooting and cutting affairs such as have
taken place in such numbers since the
opening of the present year.
