large galley, amply provided, and all her
pins and other fixtures OF that nature

the Georges banks and other deep sea
fishermen, provide them with egangelistic

him to port where he can go to the Marine
hospital. The Pastime carries about %
libraries of carefully selected books. or
about 1900 volumes, there being 80 books
in each library.

about four weeks. Mr. Charlton of the
Gloucester Fishermen's Institute, that
is doing SO much good on shore, felt that
the work could be largely universal and
supplemental by such vessel The
craft is fully in touch with the men on
the Banks, as we'll as those in the Home.
The mission work is supported by the
voluntary contributions OF the people at
large
The Pastime Is differed as follows:
Capt. DeGraff Mate Allen Charlton; Sur
geon, DR.. Morris; Chaplain, Rev. Fred M.
Clay. and crew of five men. Mr.. Clay
has entire charge of the evangelistio work
OF the vessel. lie was for ten years
seaman holding masters certificate, and
for three years IL the pastoral Office. He
seems to be particularly adapted to his
chosen work. He is of most agreeable
presence, a bright, quick eye, and a most
agreeable smile. He will speak on Sun
day next in one Of our churches, to be an
nounced, to our citizens on the work OF
the mission.
Mr.. Clay will be pleased to see any per-
son interested in the work on board the

SKULL WITH BULLET IN 1T.

Wells, April 20.-This town is stirred
up over the discovery in piece of woods
of human skull with bullet hole in
the lett side~~from which the leaden bull
let dropped out when the skull was ex4
amined
There is a deep mystery surrounding
this skull and it is increased by the fact
that although the woods where the skull
was found have been thoroughly searched,
no other portions OF the body have been
brought to light.
Whose skull was. this? the people of the
town are asking each other, but the only
response brought out by this question
in most instances is shake of the head.
Some who think that the head of
Hiram Sawtelle was never found, belieye
this skull belonged to him. His hodv
was foundEnot far froms thes place where
the skull was unearthed and this gives
color to the belief that this is the skuI
of the murdered Hiram Sawtelle

TWO FIRES
Called Out the Department Yesterday
Morning.

There was a blaze in the three-story
brick house at 70 Gray street at few
minutes before seven O'Clock yesterday
morning. This house is owned by
Mervin W. Clark and is occupied by Mrs.
Margaret A. Tobin and family. 1t was
about is O'Clock when Mrs Tobin arose
and went down to the basement to build
the fire in the kitchen. She got it started
and at once began to prepare breakfast
All went we'll as usual but when Mrs
Tobin, after stepping out of the kitchen
for few minuets, returned, che saw
great bursts of flames spreading up be-
side the funnel of the stove The fire was
fast burning through the wall and cell
ings and Mrs. Tobin aroused her son,
Mr.. James B. Tobin, who hastended to
the Falmouth engine house on Spring
street Mr.. Tobin thought few streams
from the hose would extinguish the
flames but when he had returned the fire
had already made such progress that an
alarm was at once rung in from box So.
The department quickly responded and
after nearly an hours work the fire was
iextingulshed. The flames had spread I'D
through the second and third floors
around the chimney from the basement to
the upper floor. The carpets in the
rooms through which the fire spread were
torn up and ruined and good part of the
furniture that was in these rooms was
badly damaged. Mrs. Tobin thinks that
her loss will amount to upwards of $500,
but she has an insurance that will fully
cover that amount
The chamber in the second story
through which the flames made their in
roads was occupied by lady eighty years
of age. She was considerably frightened
but managed to escape with but little
difficulty.
There was a still alarm about eight
o'clock yesterday morning, the blaze
being located at 81 Melbourne street in
a building owned by the Portland Water
company, and occupied by Mrs. Sarah
Whitley. Driver Fowler Of Hose No.
2, accompanied by two or three of the
firemen, proceeded to the scene of the
blaze with pony chemical and quickly
succeeded in wiping out the flames. The
fire caught around the chimney and was
Ieyidently ignited from some matches that
laccidently became over heated. The dam
age was small.
