SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

George s. Corbett, aged 50 years,
died Thursday morning at Brunswick
after a short illness with, Bright's dis
ease. Mr.. Corbett was one of the most
eccentric men in town. He vigorous
ly opposed the formation of the Bruins
wick Corporation. He thought the in
stallation of the sewage system there
was unwarranted on account of the
great expense. After the formation OF
the Village Corporation Mr.. Corbett re-
fused to pay the corporation taxes and
figured in many exciting episodes in
his attempt to dodge the tax collector.
He finally served a term in Jail rather
than admit that he was in the wrong
in regard to his position on the tax
question. He was the son of William
NJ. and Mary Coombs Corbett and the
mother and two brothers, William and
Clement NJ. all of Brunswick, survive.

House Wrecked BY Dynamite.

The store and dwelling of Abra-
ham Reamer, at Cambria, in the
upper part of Hartford county, was
badly damaged by an explosion Of
dynamite early Monday morning.
The work was similar to that
usually perpetrated by members of
the Black Hand, and the people of
the village are at loss to account
for it. A large quantity of dyna-
mite was placed under the rear of
the dwelling by some unknown
party OF parties, and exploded, the
building being badly damaged, and
the occupants of the house thrown
from their beds, by the force of the
explosion, but escaping injury.
Other nearby buildings were also
damaged to considerable extent, a
stone crashing through the roof of
the dwelling of Hugh Ramsay, a
neighbor.
Mr.. Reamer is Jew and has re-
sided at Cambria for several years,
conducting a general merchandise
business. He states he does not
know of any enemies, nor has he
received any letters Of athreatening
character and therefore is at a loss
to account for the attempt to destroy
his life and property. The matter
is being investigated by the author
tiles, but so far no clue has been
found as to the guilty parties.

Charge Pastor Is Prosecuted.

Methodists of Lower Delaware are
incensed over what they say are re-
peated efforts of certain ministers
to prosecute Rev. A. w. Light.
bourne, D. D., pastor of Wesley
Church, Dover, who was acquitted
and INDICATED at the last session
of Conference of charges that the
credentials upon which he was re-
ceived into the church several
years ago were forged. Not salts,
fed with the decision of the Confer.
ence, certain ministers took the mat
ter to the Board Of Bishops, which
met in Pittsburg prior to the meet
ing of the present General Confer.
ence, but the Board took no cog
nizance of the case. The further
attempt to have it brought up at
the present General Conference
under the guise of a hypothetical
question, resulted also in the
decision of the. Judicial Committee,
that it had no jurisdiction what
ever.
The laymen have become indig-
nant over the matter.
