A FAMOUS ROADSTER.

The famous gentlemen's driving horse,
Tom, owned by Col. Fl. e. Hamlin of
Ellsworth was meroitully killed at E. H.
Greely's farm in Trenton last week. He
was eighteen years old.
Tom was one of the best known driving
horses in this part of Maine, says the
Ellsworth American. He was foaled in
1880, his sire being the well known
Captain Sprague, owned by II. II.
Greeley; the dam was valuable Wash
ington county mare.
Mr. Hamlin bought the horse when he
was about four years old, and has ever
since remained his owner. He was a
light gray color and of handsome form.
Although never trained for speed, he was
pure gated and probably could have
His wonderful staying quality was
we'll known when on July 4, 1891, Mr..
Hamlin on receiving the news of his
fathers serious illness, drove the horse
from Ellsworth to Bangor-twenty- six
long miles-in one hour and ffty-Hve
minutes; and the roads were unusually
bad for that time Of the year. He ran
every hill but one between the two cities.
In spite of the severe drive he was ap-
parently uninjured.
For the past two years Tom has been
gradually failing, and little work has
been done with him. Last week he
showed unmistakable that he was near
ing his end, and it was deemed best to
put an end to his existence. He was there
fore quietly disposed Of and dscently
buried. Not until it was all over was
the owner Of the noble animal informed.

PENNINGTON ISLANDER SUIT.

Pennington, February 4.-The grand
jury got to work Thursday afternoon at
the Supreme court at Pennington.
Friday morning WAS opened the suit
for $4,000 damages for SANDER brought
by Mrs. Garrett Of Pennington, against
Seth L. Robbins of Pennington. She
alleges that Mr.. Robbins charged her
with stealing 81 out of letter that had
been entrusted to her in Portland by Mr..
Robbins's daughter to bring to him, and
also with taking letter out Of the. Farm
ington postotfice addressed to him which
contained so cents, which she stole, never
delivering the letter to him. Mrs. Gar
rett claims that Mr.. Robbins offered to
settle with her provided she would pay
him $40, and that she did pay him S5.5
and then she got legal counsel, stopped
paying the money and brought suit for
$1,000 damages. She claims also that he
charged: her with stealing pair OF
solid gold cuff buttons. The defense is
that she is guilty of the charge.

REV. GEORGE d. LINDSAY
To the Editor of the Press:

Finding myself last Sunday in the
home of Maine Methodism the old his
toric Chestnut street church, it became
my good fortune to listen to two grand
sermons by Rev. George d. Lindsay. OF
Waterville, formerly of Congress street
Methodist church OF this city. 1t is
greatly to be deplored the the discipline
of Methodism made it necessary to remove
from our midst preacher of DR.. Lind
says broad attachments. But what il
Portland's loss is Waterville's gain, fact
which Waterville people were quick to
perceive and duly appreciate. DR.. Lind.
say is indeed a preacher for whom nature
has done much, and hard labor. patient
study, close application, and tenacity OF
like that of his illustrious countrymen,
the O'Connells. the Grattans and the
Emmets, is remarkable for its terseness,
expressiveness and energy, now dealing
with striking figures, grand metaphors,
and vivid descriptions and anon lapsing
into tender pathos or sparkling with wit
and humour. learn from the fattering
comments in the papers of Eastern Maine
that the Rev. gentleman has new leo
ture which has met with great favor in
the eastern cities and tits said that he is
to deliver it in this city at an early date.
The title of this lecture is certainly
unique which coupled with the DR.. S
wonderful versatility cannot fail to catch
the public at once.
When men of brain, heart and soul are
wanted in the great metropolitan centers
to fill prominent and responsible stations,
longing eyes are turned towards the old
pine Tree State and Maine never lacks
for material. Syracuse University cap
tured DR.. Day, Chicago lured away Rev.
Matt S. Hughes, and it is safe to affirm
that ia preacher of DR.. Lindsay's abilities
will not be permitted to remain within
the borders of our state but will ere long
be called to broader field Of labor and
usefulness. M.

HABEAS CORPUS CASE.

A habeas corpus case was brought be-
fore Judge Strout yesterday afternoon,
asking the release of Grace Cunningham
of Newcastle, from the Girls Industrial
school at Hallowell. After hearing she
was discharged upon the ground that
the witnesses failed to show jurisdic-
ton of the trial justice. Miss
Helen Staples, the principal officer
of the school, who brought Miss Cum
bingham to Portland on service of the
writ, delivered her over to Officer J. E.
Mulligan of Lincon county to return
her to her mother. o. D. Cashier

PARoCHIAL SCHOOL CLOSED.

New Bedford, Mass, February 4.-Rev.
Charles P. Gaboury, rector of the Sacred
Heart church and president of Sacred
Heart school corporation, made the sem
sational announcement this afternoon
that owing to the business depression and
unemployment of the French Canadi-
an mill operatives, he is utterly unable
to maintain the French parochial school
through lack of funds to meet the neces-
sary and unavoidable expenses connected
Herewith.
Five hundred pupils on Monday next
will be deprived of the privilege of at
tending the parochial school. This will
necessitate the application of these 800
pupils for admission to the public schools,
which will'prove an impossibility, as the
city has not sufficient accommodations.
The mayor has called special meeting
of the board of aldermen this afternoon
to act upon the matter.

Wednesday morning, as Mr.. Henry
kirkland, who is night watchman for
South Portland ablishment, was on
his way home, he encountered two men
near the corner of Pearl and Newbury
streets, who were evidently bent on.jolly-
ing him, and who pushed him off the
sidewalk into the street. Thursday morn
ing Mr.. Kirkland met the same men, and
they tried the same thing over again,
only more so. Now Mr.. Kirkland is nat

he can protect himself, as his Rassailants
learned before he was through with
