Electrician At Portland, Me., RHUS Amuck Among His Fellows.
WITHOUT PROVOCATION
George H. Brainerd Shoots Into a Crowd of Fellow Employees Causing Bloody Tragedy.
Two Were Killed and Two Others Will Die As Result of His Deadly Fire.
Portland, Me., April 25.—One of the bloodiest tragedies in the history of Portland in recent years occurred yesterday afternoon on the fourth floor of the building occupied by the New England Telephone company.
The principal actor in the affair was George II. Brainerd, a foreman electrician, who lias been employed by the company for almost 20 years. For some unknown reason and without the slightest provocation, while chatting with his fellow workmen, he whipped out a oS-caliber revolver and opened lire on the party around him. He was evidently an expert marksman, for in a brief space of time he killed one man outright, fatally wounded another man, and probably fatally wounded two others. Tnen he made an attempt to kill Deputy Marshal W. A. Frith when the officer tried to place him under arrest.
The man who was killed was J. II. Farhhain of Boston, the electrical engineer of the New England Telephone company. Earle Buxton, another victim, died in the hospital last night. Elmer Z. Lane of Mechanic Falls, and Barnes 'AVadsworth of Lesvistou, are believed to*'be fatally injured.
The only charitable motive that can be assigned for the crime is insanity, yet neither before nor after the tragedy did Brainerd exhibit any marked evidenced' mental derangement. The men in -the tragedy were employes of tlie telephone company and, excepting Mri'"t'arnhaiii, were engaged in installing a new exchange system on the upper floor of the building. There were 14 men in the crew, and Brainerd had charge of the work, Mr. Farnham having general oversight.
During the afternoon Farnham and Brainerd walked over to one corner of the room where a carpenter was at work. Brainerd gave the carpenter a few instructions and tnen he and Farnham walked away, talking in' a friendly manner. Tliey passed down by the long switchboard to the end, where they stopped. Then the report of a revolver rang out. The workmen saw Farnham fall to the floor with Brainerd standing over him, revolver in hand. Brainerd then opened fire on the other workmen.
Some attempted to escape through a hole in the floor, but they were unable to squeeze themselves ••through and were then obliged to take a chance at dodging bullets as they ran for the stairway.
1
Some of the men dodged
behind boxes and benches until they had a chance taescape, but three of them were undjpti to reach a place of safety. When BrainerAsliot Farnham, Lane and Wads\s%rth were working together directly across the room, and ^before they could make the slightest- move Brainerd turned his revolver on them and opened fire. Wadsworth fell to the floor and Lane, who was not hit at this time, made a dash for a closet in a corner of the room.
Buxton was standing at a bench near the head of the stairway, and Brainerd, taking deliberate aim, sent a bullet straight through his body. Buxton fell to the floor but remained partly conscious. He saw Brainerd come over to the head of the stairway and reload the revolver and then start toward the closet la which Lane had taken shelter. Brainerd went to that closet apparently with the deliberate intention of killing Lane, and although he did not kill him instantly, he inflicted wounds which the physicians believe will prove fatal.
Brainerd was then alone on the fourth floor with his three victims, but he immediately started down to the operating room, shouting "Send for the police!" Superintendent J. D. Stanford at this point ran into the hall aflK met Brainerd coming* down the stail's, revolver in hand, frantically calling for the police.
Stanford knew Brainerd's revolver was loaded, but he barred the door to the crowded operating room and demanded that the man return upstairs. "Uo back! We will flx it with the police," he said, and Brainerd went back. A telephone message had brought Deputy Frith and others from the station. The deputy at the fourth floor met Brainerd, who, with selfcontrol, greeted him pleasantly, shook hands and then turned as if to go upstairs. The deputy saw the* revolver in Brainerd's hand and determined to overpower him. As Mr. Frith attempted to seize the weapon, Brainerd turned and met the attack with the revolver leveled at the deputy. A struggle followed and the uevolver was discharged, the bullet grazing the officer's side. Then another police officer v2uOi#t Diaiuciu lutu suMuiiooivii auu be was t&icen to the police station.

Text of the I,i'N#on, John, xx, 10-29. Memory Verses. 11), 20—Golden Text, John xx, 29—Commentary Prepared ly tlie lie v. D. M. Stearns.
[Copyright, 1001, by American Press Association.] 19. "Jesus stood in the midst and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." Thi3 was on the evening of the resurrection day. while the disciples were gathered together, with the doors shut for fear of the Jews, listening to the testimony of tlie two with whom He had walked to Emmaus. when suddenly Jesus Himself stood in the midst, with those blessed words, "Peace be unto you," which He also repeated a little later (verse 21). Compare His "Be of good cheer," "Be not afraid,""Go in peace" (Math.ix,2,22 xiv, 27 Luke vii. 50 viii,48), and remember that He is the Prince of Peace, He has made peace for us by the blaod of His cross, all His thoughts to us are thoughts of peace, lie is our peace, lie will keep in perfect peace all whose minds are staid on Him, and it is our privilege to let the peace of God rule in our hearts (Is.i. i.\, 0 Col. i, 20 Jer. xxix, 11 Eph. ii, 11 Isa. xxvi, 3 Col. iii, 15). This seems to me to have been His fifth appearance, counting as follows: To Mary, to the other woman, to Peter, to the two who walked to Emmaus, and now to the disciples gathered together. And as the first fifth in Scripture is associated with abundance (Gen. i, 20-2o), as also in Joseph's kindness to Benjamin, and the live loaves which so abundanttly fed the 5,000, etc. 20. "Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord." At lirst they were terrified and affrighted, but He showed them Ilis hands and His feet and invited them to handle Him and see that He was not a spirit, as they had supposed. I expect lie says to us many a time, "Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?" (Luke xxiv, 37-40) and if we would only see Him and be: lieve Ili.s love toward us we would lose our troubled thoughts (I John iv, 10 John xiv, 1, 27). We learn from the passage in Luke just quoted that our resurrection bodies will be tangible and material, l'or ours shall be like His (Phil, iii, 21), and 1 lis was flesh and bones and could be handled and could eat (Luke xxiv, 41. -12). Those who die have gain, but they still wait for the resurrection body. 21. "Then said Jesus to them again Peace be unto you. As My Father haili sent Mo, even so seud I you." In Ilis prayer to His Father He said, "As Thou hast sent Me into the world even so have, I also sent them into the world" (.John xvii, IS). More than 30 times in this gospel He speaks of Himself, or is spoken of, as sent by the Father. He said to Moses, "Come now, therefore, and 1 will send thee unto Pharaoh." aud to Gideon, "Go in this thy might have not I sent thee?" and to Jeremiah, "Thou shalt go to all that 1 shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak" (Ex. iii, 10 Judges vi, 14 Jer. i, 7). 22, 23. "lie breathed on them and saith unto them. Receive ye the Holy Ghost." Some are perplexed about the disciples being commissioned to remit or retain sins, but notice that the iower given to Peter in Math. xvi. 10, is here given to all who were gathered together. All believers are commissioned to go in His name proclaiming the remission of sins to all who v.-ill accept Ilim (Itev. xxii, 17
Acts xiii, 3S, 39). As to receiving the Holy Ghost, one has sifid, "It does not appear that the Holy Ghost did now come upon them. This seems to have been a symbolic act representing that which actually took place on the day of Pentecost." All believers are temples of .the Holy Ghost, and He is in every believer, but to be filled with the Spirit, while it is the privilege of all, it is to be feared is the experience of but few (I Cor. vi, 19, 20 John xiv, 17 Eph. v, IS). 24, 25. "AVe have seen the Lord." Thus said the others to Thomas, who was not with them when Jesus appeared on that lirst evening, but his reply was, "Except I shall see, I will not believe." There was no simplicity of faith here. Not only did he doubt the word of his fellow disciples, but, like them, he did not believe the word of our Lord Himself that lie Would rise from the dead. We all need, and need often, the word of our Lord, "O ye of little faith!" How much Thomas missed by not being with the others that resurrection evening! A whole week of doubt and darkness waa one of the results. 2G, 27. "Be not faithless, but believing." The next first day of the week, the disciples being again gathered, and Thomas with them, Jesus again appears with His groat greeting, "Peace he unto you." No one had told Him what Thornas had said, yet see how He exactly meets Thomas' difficulty (compare verse 25). He knows the things that come into our mind, every one of them, and there is not a word in our tongue but He knows it altogether (Ezek. xi, 5 Ps. exxxix, 4). IIow careful this should make us concerning even our thoughts, for the thought of foolishness is sin (Prov. xxiv, 9). 28. "My Lord and my God." The look of Christ and the word of Christ were enough. We do not road fhat Thomas put his finger into the print of the nails in order to be convinced, as he thought he would need to do. A word from Christ Himself did it all, but it was sight that did it. He saw and believed, and his heart then cried, "My Lord and my God." Does your heart thus cry out as you see Him by faith wounded for your transgressions and bruised for your iniquities, or has He still occasion to upbraid you for your unbelief and hardness of heart because you will not believe His message nor Qis messengers? (Mark xvi, 14.) 29. "Jesus saith unto him: Thomas, because thou hast seen Mo thou hast be lieved. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed." The one thing lie asks us to do is to believe just what He says concerning the past, the present or the future. It may seem as unlikely as that Noah, living perhaps far from any water, would ever need a ves sel to save his household, but it is enough fioc.faith that God says or commands. It is ours to believe and obey. Do I accept the Son of God as my Saviour, putting all my trust in His precious blood shed for me, then it is my privilege to believe all that He has said concerning such, and when I read John v, 24 vi, 37 i, 12 x, 27-29 Eph. i, 6, 7 Rom. v, 1 Ps. exxxviii, 8: Isa. xli, 13 xliil, 25 Col. iii, 4 I John iii, 1, 2, or similar passages I should say with glad heart, "I bellev6 God," aad remember, ....

TO THOSE WHO DOUBT:
That a majority of our buying public have implicit faith in our advertisements is daily proved by results. That there are some people in this communiiy who do not believe in the truth of any advertised statements goes without saying. They are not to be blamed for this. "A burnt child dreads fire." So an oft' humbugged buyer is shy of being again humbugged. This store reaches for the doubting ones and desires to prove to them that in its advertising it states facts—only facts—plain, pure and simple.
Tour thought turns to warm weather wearables as the leaves broaden and the flowers begin to bloom. This store is stocked to meet any reasonable demand in this connection. Stocked with the newest, stocked with the best. There's an absolute fairness, an absolute justice in the prices you will pay here, that commends this store and its summer equipment to all who would be rightly dealt with. There's no humbug in honesty.
