A DISCARDED SUITOR.
He is Arrested Charged With Setting Fire
to the Buildings of tlie|Beloved Ones
Father.
Ex-Sheriff Wormel of Bethel, was in the
city yesterday and reported that he had
arrested a young Frenchman, aged 27, and
whose first name is Peter, for the burning
of the buildings of Alpheus Gr. Lovey of.the
town of "Mason. It seems that Peter, the
Frenchman, has been paying attention to
Lovejoys daugter. She has not recipro
cated his affections; and for the last few
months has been giving him to understand
that she did not care for his attentions.
This seems to have driven Peter 'wild; and
it is alleged that, under these circumstances
he set fire to the farm buildings of the
girl’s father. The buildings were burned
Wednesday night, September 12, about 10
o’clock. They lost everything in the house
and forty tons of hay, ten tons of oats, six
teen hogs and pigs, and other things which
were in the barn. The loss is estimated at
$2000; insurance 5600.
It is expected that Peter will be brought
up for trial at Bethel tojlay.
INDUSTRIAL NOTES
Blooming Expectations of a New Fork
Lumber Dealer—America Assists Europe
to See.
“We expect to buy spruce lumber at our
own price no»T,” is the way a New York
dealer writes to a prominent Portland lum
uer uiauuxaubuim. aun icnsuu iui una uuu
fidence of the New Yorker Is the fact that
the Wilson bill has passed. Nevertheless,
the New Yorker may not get their spruce at
their own price. The supply will have to
be considered in this connection.
“When I first went into business, said Mr.
Cyrus Farley, the veteran occulist, “all our
spectacles came from England, Germany
and France, now we lead the world in that
kind of goods, and our spectacles are ex
ported to Europe in great quantities.”

MISS SHEPLEY’S PIN.
It Was a Beautiful Diamond and Seemed
a Treasure to Poor Frank Allen.
Yesterday, a poor fellow who looked
like a tramp went into Davis’s store on
Fore street and offered for sale a hand
soma diamond pin, of old-fashioned de
sign. It consisted of a large diamond,
surrounded by a circle, in which were
set four smaller diamonds. It was evi
dently a lady’s breast pin and a family
heirloom. The man who offered It for
sale wanted $25 for it, but as it was
surely worth $150, he was suspected and
tne police were notified. The man when
arrested, gave the name of Frank Allen,
and said he had picked up the pin in the
street at Saco. The police here commun
icated with the city marshal of Saco,
who in turn began to look for some one
who had lost a diamond pin. He soon
learned that the pin belonged to Miss
Sarah A.Shepley of New York, formerly
of Portland. She lost the pin in Saco
last Thursday, from her pocket.
Allen was allowed to go after after the
owner of the pin was found.
Seventy Years a Pastor.
Readers of the PRESS will remember that
Rev. Thomas T. Stone, D. D., of Bolton,
Mass., was prominent at the centennial of
Bowdoin College, as the oldest graduate.
He was a member of the class of 1820. On
Sunday, at the Unitarian church at Bolton,
the seventieth anniversry of Dr. Stone’s
pastorate, was celebrated with appropriate
exercises.
Dr. Stone was ordained in 1824, to the
orthodox ministry. His liberal mode of
thought led him in 1846 to declare himself
Unitarian, he being at that time in charge
of a church in Salem. He retired fiom
active work in the pulpit when seventy
years old, but hs kept in touch every since
with the religious world in which he was
for so many years a prominent figure. He
was prominent in the anti-slavery move
ment, and is the author of several religious
works.
Ladies Aid.
In connection with the supper of the
Ladies’ Aid, ^Wednesday evening, at the
Church of the Messiah, a pleasing entertain
ment will be given, and the play of “Doing

Briggs.

What a Portland Man Has to Say of the
Lone Star State.
Mr. George W. Beale, for many years
superintendent of the Portland company,
and for the past few years manager of a
large manufacturing company at Houston,
Texas, has been visiting his old home.
Speaking with a representative of the
PRESS, Mr. Beale said that he found the
climate of Houston delicious. For ten
months in the year it is about as nearly per
fect as one can get it. Houston is a city of
about 50,000 people, but it does not look so
large because It spreads out over a large
territory. Mr. Beale says that Houston,
and its neighborhood haelnot been affected
by the hard times apparently, for a good
steady business has been done there.
People come in from miles around and buy
the goods and, as a rule cash is required in
payment.
Mr. Beale says tbat"he believes the state
ment lately made by a New Bedford manu
facturer. to the effect that the cotton
manufacturers are strongly considering the
prospect of erecting factories in the South,
wnere they will be nearer the raw material,
and where labor will be cheaper and not
open to strikes, is not an idle threat. What
the manufacturer states is true. Further
more,he says tho South extends a welcoming
hand to Northern enterprise and capital.
People at the North would .be astonished at
the numbers of peopie in the South in
active business who are really recent
comers from the North. He says very little
of the old rebel talk is heard and when it is
It comes from a few old citizens whose lives
are fast fading away. Mr. Beale attended a
great reunion of Confederate soldiers, at
which addresses were made by men of high
position, as well as by men of the middle,
and laboring classes, and in all the pro
ceedings and speeches not a word was
heard;that could have given offence to a
Union soldier or to any Northerner no
matter how black a Republican.SHe says the
South is growing fast and with a healthy
growth. In Houston large business blocks
have been erected lately, and others are
building, and they have,been rented before
completion.
Wanted to Settle a Difference.
Two sailors, one a long Swede, and the
other a short Newfoundlander, both belong
ing to the fishing schooner Maud B.,Wethei
ell, started to settle a difference of opinion
upon Custom House wharf, after they had
filled up with fighting fluid, yesterday
afternoon about 4.15 p. m. Thee New
foundlander was doing the most execution
when Patrolmen Greely and Morse arrived,
and the combattants gave up the fight and
attempted to escape. Patrolman Morse
caught the Swede as he was in the act of
jumping on board the schooner, and Patrol
man Greely captured tl^e man from New
foundland. They were conveyed on a
jigger.to the box at the corner of Commer
cial and Pearl streets, and the wagonette
called. While waiting its arrival the Swede
addressed the officers and the crowd in a
very voluble,2but quite unintelligible man
ner, much to the amusement of all the by
standers. The Newfoundlander said nothing
put appeared to be thinking deeply. As the
party was driven away the Swede raised
his hat most politely and wished Patrolman
Morse good-bye, and the latter responded in
a courteous manner.
Minister Thomas Enjoys Fine Sliooting.
The lecture committee of the Central
Club of Bangor received a lew days ago
a letter from. Hon.W.W. Thomas, dated
“2 days march from any road in the
heart of the Swedish Fjelds.” A letter
from them overtook him when off on a
grouse shooting excursion with guides
and dogs. He had shot 224 in 11 days,
and says that “hunting along the
mountain sides in Sweden is the best
and most'exhilerating sport which he
has ever enjoyed.” Mr. Thomas is to
lecture in the Cential Club course next
winter, in Bangor, and will tell a great
many interesting things about “Sweden
and the Swedes,” which is to be his
subject.
