A GIRLS MURDER
Laid to a Telegraph Co. Message
Warning Victim of Danger
Not Delivered.

Portland, Me, May 6.-Prelininary
steps were taken today in a suit against
the Western Union Telegraph company
for $25, 900 damages for the alleged nom
delivery of a message to Miss Mamie
Small of Gardiner. The plaintiffs allege
that by the non-delivery of a message
Miss Small lost her life at the hands
of Bradford knights, now in Augusta
Jail awaiting trial on the charge of muir
der.
Miss Small was killed on the evening
of February 10 of the present year, at
about o'clock. On the afternoon of
that day. so the papers filed in the case
aver Miss SmalIs sister Lizzie sent a
telegram to her apprising her of the
expected arrival in Gardiner of Knights.
and to be watchful of him. The papers
also assert that up to the present time
the telegram, although received in Gar
diner. has not been delivered to the
address plainly written on the sending
and receiving sheets.
The telegram is said to have been sent
and received in Gardiner at 4 o'clock
in the afternoon of the day in question
and Miss Small was shot by knights at
in the evening. 1t is therefore held
by the plaintiffs that there was plenty
and reasonable time for the delivery Of
the message, and by the negligence of
the company and it's agents Miss Small
lost her life.

STORIES OF THE TOWN.

A policeman on lower Kansas ave-
nue. saw suspicious looking character
and started for him to investigate.
The suspicious character saw the po-
Hceman coming and made tracks. He
started straight for a large square
building. The policeman stepped lively
and managed to keep just so far from
the fleeing man.
AS the man ran he shed his raiment.
Off went his coat and on went the po-
nceman. Next he threw his hat and
just as he ripped off his vest he lodged
around the corner of the house. The
policeman lodged after him just in time

man were running around the house
like fOotracers around a track.
On they went. The man gained ana
passed the corners ahead of the officer
so that the blue coat could not see the
fleeing man but could hear him.
The officer was making the best time
he could when cat ran between ms
legs and tripped him. He fell sprawl

coming and was certain the man would
strike or shoot him when he found him
on the ground. The officer drew his re

HE SAVED FORT PULASKI.
Capt. Carter's Heroic Act During the
Rebellion.


From the Wilkes Barre Record.
Ex-Jury Commissioner Solomon Tay-
lor of Harveyville, himself a civil war
veteran writes to the Record as fol-
lows regarding a United States officer
who has been sentenced to a military
prison:
The name Of Capt. o. NJ. Carter will
scarcely be mentioned for the next five
years, as he undergoes his solitary con-
tinement at hard labor in the United
States military prison. Five years ago
the newspapers of the country were
lauding him as the hero of Fort Pulaski
This fort has a historic record. 1t was
built by Gen. Q. A. Gilmore and after
ward bombarded by him from Tybee
Island until a breach was made in the
southeast corner. 1t was defended by
Col. O. II. Olmstead Of the Confederate
forces. This was on April II, 1862. on
July 20, 1894, just after breakfast, Ord
nance Sergeant William Chinn of the
Twenty-fourth infantry went into the
storeroom, where he had his carpenter
tools, to do some work. In the room
were several casks of powder in all 400
pounds, and a large quantity of fixed
ammunition. He did as he had been
doing for some time during the summer
months, and took a handful of pow
Ter from one of the open casks, wet it
at pump and then placed it in the
centre of the room. He ignited it in
IN
which were numerous. 1t seems that
in carrying the powder from the cask
he had left a trail of dry powder from
the middle of the floor up to the cask.
AS soon as he had ignited the powder
it burned along the trail and the 400
| pounds exploded, fatally injuring the
| sergeant and setting fire to the wood
| work Of the southeast easement. The
| constant explosion of the heavily load
| ed shells in the storeroom created great
| alarm as only fve-foot wall separat-
| ed the storeroom from the magazine,
where thirty tons of powder We're
stored.
Capt. o. NJ. Carter, the government
| engineer who had charge of the fort,
| hurried to the scene and set a force OF
men to carrying the casks OF powder
| from the magazine and another crew to
| playing on the fire with a hose and
| when the day closed the fire was sub
| dued and the fort saved. Within 200
| feet of the fire were 500 pounds of dy-
| Mantle, which if the magazine had
blown up would have been exploded
| by the cOncussion. As it was, only the
southeast corner of the fort was dam
| aged. Two OF the easements were
| burned out and the roof was destroyed
| by the constant bursting of shells. En-
| gineer officers and others stationed at
the War Department were full of praise
for Capt. Carter They said that he
went into the burning storeroom filled
with explosives at the imminent peri!
of his life, put the firemen to work,
took out the body Of Sergeant Chinn
and aVerted a further explosion, thus
saving the fort from total destruction.
Poor Carter while we regret the un-
fortunate incidents that have led him
| to disgrace and imprisonment. we
should not forget his daring heroism in
saving Fort Pulaski-the grim visaged
! guardian Of Savannah.
