A Peculiar Case.

The Rockland star of Thursday in its
report of the case of Miss Georgiana
Powell of that place, who WAS before
T.. S. Commissioner Burleigh in this
city, Monday night, charged with OBJ
tanning registered letter from the
ROckland postoffice on a forged order
as previously reported in the Journal,
gives these details of the case: The
case is q rather peculiar one and has
several complications. 1t seems that a
regist, red letter came to the pOstoffice
June Is, addressed to a certain young
woman in ROckland. The clerk hand
ling the letter placed notice of its ar
rival in the box from which Miss
Powell got her mail under the belief
that the party to whom the letter was
addressed also got her mail from that
box. When Miss Powell got the letter
she appeared at the registry window
and forged the name of the owner OF
the letter receiving it from Assistant
Postmaster Rankin as is usual in such
cases. She claims that she did not
open the letter until on her way to Eos
ton and the fact that she had S41 of the
So with her upon returning home in
corning her act. The owner of the let
ter sent word to the postmaster that
she had not received the letter and an
investigation was at once inaugurated,
the case being placed in the hands of
Inspector Jennings of Boston. Through
the family with whom Miss Powell
lived she was induced to return to
Rockland although she says that she
was coming back of her own volition
She had been in Boston month. The
balance Of S. was made good and the
$50 was returned to the spostoftice and
handed over to it's rightful owner.
Miss Powell claims that she had no
intention Of keeping the money but
signed the fictitious name more out of
ignorance of the consequences than
intent to do wrong.

COOL AND PLUckY.
Mrs. S. c. Webster's Nerve Prevents a
Very Serious Fire.

The alarm from box 81. State .nd
Bridge streets, at 3.05 o'clock. Th,,rs-
Gay afternoon, was for a fire in Tho
hay loft of the stable of 5. G. Webster
on state street, which did but little
damage. Had not Mrs. Webster shown
great presence of mind when the blaze
was first discovered it is doubtful if
p serious fire could have been avertad
The ire was started, it is supposed
by children who were playing in the
loft ana who had matches in their DOS
session. When discovered there was n
brisk blaze aud the outlook was good
for Il fire of considerable proportions.
While others haStened to send i'm an
alarm from box II. Mrs. Webster. with
great GOODNESS, attached the small gar
den hos, to Il faucet in the stable and
turning on the water, went into the
loft and proceeded to drown out the
fire. \ chemical fire eXtinguisher was
also brought and WAS used with good
effect So that when the fire appar:l-
1uS reached the scene. which it did in
remarkably quick time, the fire was
out.
Two lines of hose were laid by Cush-
noe Hose No. 1. but no water was
turned ON. chief Engineer Kicker made
d careful examination of the premises
before sounding the all out, which he
did at BIS o'clock. to make sure that
all danger was past.
Chief Kicker and all of the firemen
were loud in their praise Of Mrs Web
sters good work and one and all agreed
that if more people would keep their
wits above them, as she did, there
you'll be Il great diminishing i'll the
number of disastrous fires. After the
danger Mas past Mrs Webster's nerves
gave way. q fact which is not i'm the
least surprising, and she had an hyster-
| zeal attack.
Atlantic Hose. No. >. and the Hook
and Ladder Company also answered the
alarm.

BoTHNER, OF COURSE,

George Bothner, the lightweight champion, went over to New Jersey last night to show the citizens of Union Hill how well he could wrestle. Both ner met Emil Selva, the Italian heavy weight, in handicap match, catch-as
 catch-can style, before the Olympic A. C.. at New Turn hall. corner of New York avenue and Lewis street. Selva undertook to throw Bothner twice in one hour. for a $40O purse. Despite the unfavorable weather the hall was packed. The match was an interest ing one. and despite the advantage Selva had in weight he could not even budge Bothner. The Italian was un- able to gain a single fall and conse. uuently' Bothner received the decision
 Bothner's showing was exceptionally fine. At times he made Selva look ridiculous, and toward the end of the contest he became ae aggressor. Once he had Selva on one shoulder, but the latter's weight prevented Bothner from downing his man. In the preliminary bout Bill Brown of the Pastime A. c. and George Fisher, instructor of the New Polo A. C.. wrestled a fifteen minute draw There were also several lively three-round boxing bouts be- tween local men.

Hjalmar Lundin, the Swedish wrest, Ter, who spends much of his time in Hartford with Alfred Anderson, win leave to-day for Rockford, III. where he will meet Farmer Burns and Frank Rooney in catch-as-cat.n-can matches. He says he is willing to meet Emil Selva of Paterson or anybody else who thinks he can beat him, but he has several engagements on at present
 Ltlndin is nursing tender left arm
 He injured it in his recent victorious contest with Jim Parr in Jamestown, N. Y. Burns and Rooney have been having much success in Illinois and friends of Lundin out there matched him to wrestie them and they expect he will stop their victorious career. Lundin's last match of note was with Tom Jenkins, and while Lundin won the raeco-Roman match the Ameri- can champion took two falls at eaten as-catch-can.
