A NIGHT ATTACK
Again EnIivens the War Game
at Portland.
Navy's Last Chance, as Maneuvres
Will End at Noon, Today.
Navy Wants Observation-Disclosures Say
Cannot Have 1t.

Portland, Me-, Aug. 29.-Admiral
Barker began his last demonstration
by night in the joint army and navy
war game, shortly before midnight. A
part of the fleet appeared opposite the
Two Lights on the cape from Rich
monds island, and, at 1890 was fired
upon from Fort Mckinley. The firing
of small arms at Fort Levett was dis
tinguished at 11.40 and it was reported
general quarters We're sounded there
at 1890.
The Fort Preble mortar batteries
commenced firing at 1 2o'clock and
kept up a constant roar Mckinley
and Williams about this time Joined
in the engagement, the purpose of
which was unknown at 1 o'clock The
Panther was the first vessel to appear
around the cape, and together with
another cruiser passed the Two Lights
going in the direction of Half Way
Rock.

The homes of DR.. c. M. Randlette
and Will Lord We're in so much danger
at times that the household goods were
removed.
The fire is believed to have started
from a defective chimney in the Pres
colt house or from the stove. Leslie
Prescott. in whose tenement the fire
started, arose unusually early, built his
fire in the cook stove and went out on
the pond to try a new rifle. After
practicing several minutes he heard
the alarm. He believed the fire caught
from the chimney.
Architect Harry Cochrane announced
at 10 o'clock today, that he should get
up benefit concert for those who We're
burned out.
This is the third big fire that has
visited Monmouth Centre village

small storehouse side of the building
now occupied by +. A. Dudley Drug

Edwards & Flahertys store
About three years later, another fire
destroyed about a dozen buildings, in
Guiding the old Cochnewagan house.

Portland Me-, Aug. 2S.-At noon to-
morrow, the mimic war which has
ragged off this port since midnight
Tuesday, with all manner of man
euvres by the navy, will come to an
end ard the several thousand men
hurried to the defence of the city will
be withdrawn from the harbor de-
fences. Todays movements consisted
of a fierce enga cement, during which a
Admiral Coghlin captured all the sta
tons and defences of the Cape and
Spurwink. The marines and jackies
landed almost at dawn and We're en-
gagged until afternoon when they re-
turned to the fleet, which had remained
of Richmonds Island all day
Rear Admiral Coghlan believed he
had achieved the grandest victory of
the navy, but at 3.45, Lieutenant Jor-
dan, in command of the Engineers
Corps at the Two Lights, was inform
ed by telephone that the umpires had
decided that no landing was effected
by the invaders as the men and boats
had been put out of action before the
capture of all the points on the cape,
including the signal, searchlight and
fire control station at Two Lights, the
defences at Silver Springs and the
searchlight at Pond Cove, was void
and they stand as if no attempt had
been made at their capture. This left
the immense searchlights in action for
a demonstration, tonight.
Reports that the invaders We're
marching upon the forts and the city
prevailed, but if such had been the
intention, it was not carried out, the
men returning to the ships at 3.45. The
men standing at the entertainments at
Meeting House HILL three miles from
the city, We're reinforced by 600 men
from the forts in anticipation of an
assault from the invaders or an at
tempt to march upon the city proper.
The capture of this force would re-
quire more than 5000 invaders.

DUMPED sAwDUsT IN RIVER

w. /. Reed. proprietor of the Rainier
Min and Lumber company. was up be-
fore Justice OF the Peace Simmons at
Rainier yesterday charged with dump
ing sawdust into the river. The arrest
had been made and charges preferred
by Deputy Fish Warden Webster. Mr..
Webster was OF the opinion that saw
dust was being dumped into the river
and so instituted quiet investigation.
The mill does not have a fire pit but a
flume is supposed to carry the sawdust
away to point on the land where odds
and ends of lumber and leavlngs gem
orally are dumped. In this manner a
portion Is disposed of. but the balance
has been let through the mill into the
river, Mr., Reed pleaded guilty as
charged and paid a fine Of $50 and costs
The min is situated so that It is hard
to operate pit and for this reason Mr.,
Reed Is sorely Handicapped, However,
he VIII devise some means of getting
around the Inconvenience in the future
without violating statutes provided for
the protection Of fish.
