The people of West Lncolnville had lively
and exciting time Wednesday afternoon, April
l2th,when the barn belonging to Mrs Clara Kid
der burned to the ground and another nearby,
owned by her sister, Mrs. Emma Lovett, caught
fire and would have burned, together with the
dwelling house occupied by both, had it not
been for the strenuous efforts of neighbors
who gathered from some distance and extin-
guished the flames on the second barn. The
fire is thought to have caught from some ashes
thrown on the grass although they were not
supposc d to contain fire.
A SEARsPoRT BRIG UNDER CONFEDERATE
CoLoRs. One of the many readers of The
journal interested in the old-time shipping
news furnished by our Searsport correspondent
is Mr.. G. Loring Field of this city, former
resident of Searsport He was particularly in
terested in the brigs, for in the spring of 1861
he sailed from Searsport in the brig Waccamaw
for Bucksville, S. c. On the 2lst of March
the brig was boarded by sea which flooded
the cabin ard the papers were lost. South
Carolina had seeded December 90 1860, and
Bucksville was Confederate port. The brig
loaded lumber there and after taking out Con-
federate papers at Georgetown sailed for Mar
Unique. She flew the Confederate flag on the
foremost but the Stars and Stripes on the
mainmast. The brig discharged at Martinique
and sailed for the home port, and although
word had been sent out that she was under
Confederate colors she was not spoken and ar
rived safely at Searsport, and soon had regular
papers.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE. Sheriff Jenkins and
deputy sheriffs Edgecomb and Bucklin made
search and seizure at the Commercial House
last Friday evening. They found pint bot
tie of whisky in the pocket of Thomas Ken
nedy, brother-in-law of Sumner Maddocks,
the proprietor, and an attache of the house,
and both Maddocks and Kennedy were placed
under arrest. They were before the police
court last Saturday morning, and Maddocks
was called upon to answer four charges: search
and maintaining tipping house. In all cases
he waived the reading of complaint and war
rant, pleaded not guilty and waived the hearing,
but Judge Rogers found probable cause and he
was convicted in each case. On the search
and seizure he was sentenced to pay fine of
500 and costs and to be imprisoned in the
county Jail 60 days and in default of payment of
fine and costs to be imprisoned 60 days add-
tional. He appealed and furnished bail in the
common nuisance case for $500, and in the
other three for 5000 each, making total of
$1.100. His father, Horace Maddocks of North
Searsport, and John M. Crosby qualified as sure
ties. Kennedy was called upon to answer to
two charges, seizure and that of having on his
person liquor for illegal sale. He was SEN
fenced in each case to fine of 500 and costs
and 60 days in Jail, with 60 days additional in
default of payment of fine and costs. He ap-
pealed and Horace Maddocks and A. L. Ellis
went his bail
