1t has become something OF an old story
to tell about new public buildings for
Maine, especially for Bar Harbor. But 1t
should be said that Gov. Burieigh IL
now feeling little more hopeful about
getting an appropriation for the super
structure OF postoffiee at Bar Harbor.
He has been dinging away at Congress
almos. ever since he came here, empha-
sizing tine need of good building for the
postoffice there. He has been to the treas
ury department to secure figures and let
tiers to array in arguments to urge before
Congress and before his own committee.
OF course there is no doubt that some
time there will be an appropriation for
the Bar Harbor building, because the
site has already been appropriated and
paid for, due to Gov. Burleigh's activities
In committee and elsewhere.
The sentiment In Congress, especially
In the House, Is very strong for q small
omnibus public buildings bill at this
session. 1t is by no means assured, and
IL 1t becomes assured, 1t is by no means
certain that anything but projects In the
larger cities can be cared for now, when

expended three hours in picking out
the meaning concealed in the wayy
lines Of the old picture.
was early at headquarters that
morning, but not SO early MS to find the
superintendent alone. A group Of men
were already congregatcd about him in
his small office, and when, on being id
mitted, l saw among them the district
attorney, Durbin and another famous
detective, instinctively knew what
matter was under discussion.
There was with them fourth man,
who stood apart. On him the general
attention had been concentrated ut my
entrance and to him it now returned.
He was IN unpretentious person Of
kindly aspect. TO any one accustomed
to Washington residents, he bore the
unmistakable signs Of being one Of
the many departmental employees
whose pay is inadequate to the neces-
stiles of his family. OF his personal
peculiarities noted two. He blinked
when lie talked and suffered pain
fully when excited. Notwithstanding
these defects he made good impress
sion and commanded confidence. This
soon saw was Of Importance, for the
story he now entered upon was one
calculated to make me forget my own
GRAND and even to question my own
convictions.
The first intimation received of the
curious nature Of his communion ton
was through the following questions,
put to him by the major:
you IRE sure this gentleman is
identical with the one pointed out to
you last night?
"Very sure, sir. can swear to it."
"You recognize him positivelyW
Positively. should have picked
him out with the same assurance If
had seen him in some other city and
In crowd of Us fine looking gentlemen
as himself. His face made great i'm
preston on me. You see, l had ample
time to study it'in the few minutes we
stood so close together.
$50 you have said. Will you be kind
enough to repent the circumstance?
should like the man who has just come
In to hear your description of this
scene. Give the action, please. 1t is
all very interesting"
The stranger glanced inquisitlvely in
my direction, and turned to obey the
superintendent

Georgetown on the evening Of May
II, the day Of the great tragedy.
My wife was Ill, and had been into
town to see a physician, and should
