BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT.
Old Time Housewarming at the Burleigh
Mansion in South Berwick.
The most fashionable social event of
the season on the banks of the Piscata
qua, was the housewarming given at the
residence of Mrs. Matilda Burleigh, wid
ow of the late John H. Burleigh of
South Berwick, Thursday evening. The
elegant mansion just completed on the
site of the residence which was burned
two years ago, and the spacious grounds
were brilliantly illuminated with scores
of electric lights. About 400 guests re
sponded to the invitations and were
most hospitably entertained. Mrs. Bur
leigh was assisted in receiving by her
two daughters, Mrs. J. T. Davidson and
Mrs. Edward Burleigh.# Chandler’s or
chestra of Portland furnished the music
and delicious refreshments were served
by a Boston caterer. The large house
was thrown open from top to bottom
for inspection and was much admired.
The floral decorations were very beauti
ful, the mantles being banked with
flowers and the doorways frarhed with
brilliant autumn foliage. The large
billiard room was cleared and used fot
dancing. Many elegant costumes were
worn by the ladies, and the gentlemen
were generally in evening dress. Guests
were present from Portsmouth, Exeter,
Dover, Concord, Somersworth, North
Berwick and other places.

INDIAN BURIALS*
A Massachusetts Savant Thinks the Bones
Found at the Foreside Were Those of a
French Officer Buried by.tlie Indians.
The notice in yesterday’s PRESS of the
finding of the hones of a soldier at
Waite’s Landing, Falmouth Foreside,
occasiononed considerable interest.
Among those who called to see the photo
graph of the remains was Mr.W.R.Mann
of Sharon, Massachusetts, a member of
the New England Historical and Geneo
logical Society, the Old Pilgrim Society,
and the Dedham Historical Society., Mr.
Mann has made some study of Indian
ways, and he agrees with Mr. Bryant that
the bones were probably those of a French
officer, buried by the Indians. He says
that in 1854 he was at old Fort Halfax,
at the mouth of the Sebasticook, in Win
slow, near Waterville. In tracing the
location of the stockade he came upon
the grave of an Indian. This Indian,
a giant of six feet and three inches in
height, as his bones showed, was buried
on his left side, his face looking towards
the West and his legs drawn up. This is
bile pusbllic Ul tuc lcmauio luiAJavi. a.i> uuv
Foreside, and'Mr.Mann says that was a
favorite method of burial with the
Indians. The body found at Fort Halifax
was surrounded with remains of birch
bark, in which it had evidently been
encased. No such remains were found
around the bones of the officer, who was
probably buried very hastily.

LAST NIGHT’S FIRE.
A Stock of $10,000 and an Insurance of
$4000.
The alarm of fire rung in at 9.15 last
evening was for a blaze in the building
No. 125 Commercial street, occupied by
John Hernandez as a restaurant and
cigar factory. The fire appeared to be
in the rear of the store and near the
stove used for cooking, and evidently
caught from the stove. It was found
necessary to put on several streams of
water, which quickly extinguished the
blaze, but left a dense smoke. Mr. Her
nandez stated that his stock was valued
at about $10,000, and that he had about
$4000 insurance. The loss could not be
estimated last night, as part of the
stock is such as to beoome worthless by
wetting.
MR. MILLIKEN’S COLTS.
They Gambolled on the Railway Track
Until the Train Came Along.—Then there
was a Seattering.
The disaster to the colts [in the pasture
of Weston Milliken, Esq., at Stroud
water, was not so serious as at first re
ported. Mr. Milliken’s farm is the old
Henry Fowler place, by the railroad.
In the pasture he had ten fine colts, some
of them of high breeding, worth a thous
and dollars or more apiece. There were
also two more ordinary colts which had
recently come into the possession of the
Milliken Tomlinson Co. Sometime Tues
day in the course of some [repairs being
made by the railroad, the pasture fence
was taken down and not replaced, proper
ly. The colts took advantage of this.,
and the whole body of them jumped
over on to the railroad right of way,
where they proceeded to enjoy themselves.
This was the state of things when the
evening train over the Ogdensburg divis
on eame dashing [towards [Portland. It
ran right into the group of colts, scat
tering them in all directions. Two of
the colts ran along ahead of the engine,
but were of course overtaken and so seri
ously injured when they were thrown
from the track that [they had to be
killed. These two [were the ordinary
coltsjbelonging to the [ company. One[of
Mr. Milliken’s colts, [in [running away,
went into a barbed [wire fence and was
badly cut. But with this exception the
herd [escaped without serious or even
slight injuries. This was very fortunate
in view of the bad situation in which
the animals were placed.
Shore Acres Matinee to-day,
RAILROAD MATTERS.
Boston & Maine.
The Philadelphia Press says relative to
the gossip of a consolidation between the
Boston & Maine and New York, New
Haven and Hartford roads: “ Henry M.
Whitney, who if he was[in politics would
be likely to achieve quite as great a suc
cess as his brother, William C., has
done, is convinced that complete union
of the nmnerties is inevitable. There is
some suspicion here that Mr. "Whitney
retired recently from the management of
some of the Boston street railway proper
ties in order to develop certain Canadian
railway combinations which would act
in harmony and close relations with these
two greatNew England railway systems.”
Mr. Whitney, it is said, undoubtedly re
signed the Presidency of the West End
railway to give his attention to his Pro
vincial interests. That he was hastened
to this step, however, by the fact that he
and his board of directors did not agree
on many important points, the Boston
Journal says, is an open secret. An alli
ance of the Maine and New Haven roads
had no more to do with it than the pro
posed reorganization of Reading.
