II WAS LOADED.

just as the Cape Elizabeth electric cfr:
were about to start on their Z. 40 evening
trip from Monument Square yesterday
a sound was heard very much like a small
sized torpedo. The conductor left the car
and going to the sidewalk in front of the
United States hotel found lying there
a nickel plated revolver, 32-calibre, and
OF the Smith & Wesson pattern, one
chamber Of which contained an empty
cartridge, the other four had ball cart
ridges.
The conductor picked up the revolver
and looked round for an owner, but nc
one coming forward to claim it he put 1t
in his pocket and returned to his car. OF
course the finding of the revolver ex.
planned the unexpected shot which was
heard. The revolver evidently dropped
from some ones pocket and the trigger
striking the walk, the weapon went of
and SO did the owner.

Uumors said That stores al North Deer.
Ing Were Entered.

report was in circulation Wednesday
that the stores Of A X. Noyes s. Co, and
Pride Bros, both of North Deerinx had
been broken into during Tuesday night.
Patrolman Brown went TO investigate
the report Wednesday foranoon but found
1t to be entirely without foundation.
The report may have arisen from the
fact that a seedy looking individual was
seen wandering around the streets Tues
day evening, and later on went into the
store of A. g. Noyes & Co aud asked for
something to eat Mr. Lurvcy, one OF
the partners, gave him a can OF sardines.
The stranger then asked for cigar,
but was refused the luxury. He then
asked Mr.. Luryey to change $40 bill so
that he could buy one. Mr.. Lurvsy
agreed TO change the bill, but was then
Informed by the stranger that he had no

RAILWAY MATTERS.
Additional Train service between hid
deford, Old Orchard and Portland.

Heretofore, during the summer season
IL has been impossible for parties OF Port
land peopls to spend the evening at Old
Orchard, Ora d Beach, Pine Point, etc. /,
other than TO return at an early hour. so
to, parties from Biddeford Saco and Old
Orchard have been deprived OF the pleas
ure of an evenings entertainment at
Rirerton. Peaks Island or Cape Cottage,
for the reason that there have been no
late trains to take them back home.
10 obviate this difficulty the Boston
and Maine railroad are announcing that
they have decided to arrange for this sea
son, night train leaving Old Orchard
for Portland at 1880 p. IN. arriving at
Portland at 10 % D. m, and leave Port
land on return trip, at Ills p. m, for
Old Orchard. Saco and Biddeford, and for
this concession on tho part of the Boston
and Maine railroad the trains ought 10
receive liberal patronage.
NOTES.
The extension Of the Somerset railroad
to point nine miles north OF Bingham
is proposed, and Hiram Moore of Madison
and Elmer X. Greenwood of Skowheean,
have CONS into the region of Austin
stream to LOOK the ground over.
There was no opposition to the petition
Of the promoters OF the Sanford and Cape
PoIpoise railroad at the hearing in Ken
nebunk Tuesday. The ouly question that
arose was whether the track TO be laid
through Storer street should be located in
the middle of the street or on the side.
The original plan contemplates crossing
OF Durell's bridge, about one and one-half
miles from the village of Kennebunk on
the road to Cape Porpoise. Now IL Is pro-
posed to put in pile bridge, short dis
lance below Dureli's and make short
cut across fields, thereby getting rid of u
bad angle in the old Cape road. The COM
pany will have to buy right Of way over
these private lands in order to carry out
its purpose, but the representatives Of the
enterprise says the land owners in ques-
tion have agreed to accept reasonable
damages Another proposed change from
the original plan is the laying of spurs
from the main line 20 the Boston and
Maine stations at Kennebunk and West
kennebunk. The Boston and Maine has
withdrawn its objection to the electric
road making close connection with the
passenger stations, and is also willing to
negotiate with the electric road in regard
to the transfer Of freights There is rea-
son to believe that the railroad commits
sioners will approve the new petition, in
its entirety. Contractor Warehouse of
Boston, who is to build the electric road,
expects to begin breaking ground by the
first of May. He will hire no Italian
laborers to do the excayating Part of the
material has arrived at San
ford and Cape Porpoise. Tho road is to
be completed before July Is.

WATER RECEDING.
BRIDGES SPANNING THE BIG HOLE
DAMAGED.


W.P. Jaunke, once a resident Of Butte,
but now a prosperous rancher and min
ing man of the upper Big Hole country, is
in the city on business connected with
his mine interests. He says the water in
the Big Hole river is receding, but is still
very high and dangerous. The recent
flood damaged many of the bridges span
ming the stream, and had the nights not
been cold enough to check the thaw near
" all would have been washed away.
Mr.. Jaunke further say that the dams
recently constructed in the Wise and
Big Hole rivers by the Montana Power
company stood the great pressure with
out a tremor, but the former leaked a
little near the top. The great volume OF
liquid pouring over the Big Hole dam is
a grand sight, says he. Above the dam
the face of the current is as smooth as
glass, out when it strikes the dam If re-
solves itself into a mass Of foam and re-
mains troubled a distance of 500 feet be-
low.
