Montreal, Jan. 19 —A sensation has been caused m Catholic circles here by the an-

nouncement made at high mass yesterday that auumbor of relics brought from Rome in 1880

by Mooseizneur Fabre, Bishop of Montreal, are not genuine, and that his lordship bad been victimized by a Jewish relic merchant of the Holy City. The bishop visited Rome in 1880 and returned with what were believ d to

the parish of Lacbine, and those of St. Juliana Vi the Ciinrcb of the Convent of St. Anne. 8nee 1 a altars were erected for the reception of the relics, and amid great pomp and ceremony they were blessed ano sauct fied. Parts of the hones were cremat-d and the bust sold to the faithful, and the church was enriched thereby lo the extent of many thousands of dollars.

THE GRAND i KI NK ACCIDENT.

Deatli of One of the Vieiima—Heroism of the Sufferers.

Norwat, Jan. 19tb.—Miss Kate Williams, who was injured in the railroad accident 8at- nrday, after parsing Sunday in a raving deli- rium, gradually sank away andjdied shortly af- ter two o’clock, this morulng. She was

held under the wreck about twenty minutes before she could be relieved, during which t'me the escaping steam from the broken wat- Br gauge was literally cooking the flesh from her body.

She quietly waitad until the engineer could pull his pinioned limbs from under tbsir weight and assist her, her face turned into the mow to shield her lungs from the hot steam, but not a groan escaped her, only now and theu she asked: "Please put a little brandy in my mouth," or “please put a little ice in my mouth." Engineer Shaw worked coolly and iwiitiy, though it seemed hours to anxious by- itanders; his own hands in the boiling water uid steam, knowing that loss of time was loss If life.

The little sufferer was placed upon a cushion tnd hurriedly borne to Pans, her home. Med- cil aid was on the spot, when it was found no

joues were broken, but the right side of the Body was fairly boiled, nails gone, and the ikiu coming off iu sheets. More than two- thirds of her whole person was scalded.

Tne engineer Mr. Wm. Sbaw, in his anxie- ty, had forgotten himself nutil arrival home, when he gave out. Q uietly lying down, he lent word to the surgeons, "Attend to the girls, then come and see me.” He is now im- proving, as is also Miss Maggie Wilson. The Sreman, Mr. Hodgman, escaped without in- jury.

How the accident happened may never be mown, bat it was doubtless something about he engine. Just before going upon the trestle work is a switch, and as the machine passed it Mr. Shaw wascarelully watching his drivers, ts is his custom at each points. Just at this moment, she gave warning of leaving the track by attempting to “climb the rail.” In a

lecond she was off, and knowing without a

'all head of steam, everything mast go into the stream, the engineer pulled the throttle wide open, and succeeded in shoving across the passenger car and tender, the engine jumping the trestle just before making land.

FROM AUGUSTA.

What the Lawmakers Will Do in Augusta Today.

Important Hearings to be fcUven by the Judiciary Committee Today.

Aroostook’s Superior Court and W ho W ill be Judge.

Personal and Other Items of Interest.

(Special to the Press.) Augusta, Jan. 19.

On the reassembling of the Legislature to- morrow, the business of the lawmakers will be resumed. All of the work dow is prelim- inary and confined to the committee rooms.

Nearly all of the committees have organized, and the matters referred to them will be ex-

pedited as fast as possible. Probably the end of the month will be reached before the com- mittees will fairly get down to their work.

Tomorrow afternoon a hearing will be given by the judiciary committee to the petitioners on their bill to enlarge the powers of the Port- land constables; also a hearing to the comrnis- sioners of pharmacy on their bill which pro- ; vides that it shall not be lawful for any person in the State to conduct tbe bnsiuess of an

apothecary without receiving a certificate of registration from them. Tbe bill allows women to become apothecaries. The business of au apothecary is defined to be the keeping and retailing of all medicines, simple or com- pound, wnieh are prescribed in any pharma- coj oeia; the manufacturing of all chemical and medicinal preparations therein directed; pre- paring or compounding tbe prescriptions of physicians; and the guardianship and sale of poisons. The commissioners of pharmacy are to be appointed by the Governor, aud there are to be three of them, each to hold office for three years. Those who desire certificates of registration mast undergo an examination be. fore tbe commissioners, when two kinds of certificates will be issued to those whose exam- ination has been successful, one tn.it,

the bolder is skilled iu pharmacy, and the ether that the applicant, who shall not be less than 18 years of age, is qualified to take charge of the business of an apothecary, duriug the temporary abseuce of his employer. The faes for examination are 810 for each applicant. All apoiheoary stores mast bo in charge of a

registered apothecary, and any person who carries on the business without being regis- tered will be subject to a fine of 850 for the first cffenoe, aud 8100 for each and every sub- sequent conviction; audit shall be the duty of the commissioners to prosecute all cases as

may be brought to their notice accompanied by testimony. The bill does not apply in its provisions to physicians who prepare and dis- pense their own medicines, nor to the sale of

proprietary preparations. There is every indication that the petition-

ers for a Superior Court in the northern part of Aroostook county will have their prayer answered as there seems to be no opposition to it. So confident arb those interested in the matter, that such a judicial privilege will be granted, that several names of candi- dates for judge are mentioned, among whom are Samuel W Matthews of Caribou, J. B. Trattou of Fort Fairfield and W. M. Robinson of Houlton. The establishment of a similar coart in Androscoggin and Fonobscot counties is also asked for, but wbat the Legislature will do about it does not yet appear.

A petition numerously signed,will shortly be presented, asking for a road from Shirley Mills to the Forks of the Kennebec. The ob- ject is to save "toting” a distance of sixteen miles.

E. R. Pierce and Henry Chase, whilom of the Portland Argus, of this city, are rival can- didates for the office of post offioe inspector, with headquarters 'at Augusta, under the Cleveland administration. Pierce is backed among others, by Col. Charles B, Mortoe, who is a candidate for the pest office here, and D. H. Thing of Mt. Vernon, who was the Demo- cratic candidate for Congress in this district at the September election and who, is is said, is »u applicant for the Portland custom house, while Chase is backed among others, by Judge Cleaves of Portland, John B. Redman of Ells- worth, the defeated candidate for Governor, and John F, Lynch of Machias, also the de- feated candidate for Congress in the Fourth lisiriot.

Senator Simonton, chairman of the temper- ance committee iu the Legislature, has re- ceived a letter from Gen. Neal Dow asking fer a hearing on the 27th or 28th inst. Gen. Dow lays: "vve propose to mat© liquor soiling un-

pleasant and unprofitable, and to close np tbe rat holes through which rnmsellers have es-

caped from the hands of justice.” A railroad lobby is threatened in the interest

if the Moosehead Lake bridge project. A delegation of tbe friends of the Portland

Deaf School will appear before the committee cn education In a few days to urge the claims of that institntloa which is receiving bnt a lim- ited support from tbe State, and which under the care of Miss Beratow has been making wonderful progress in the art of articula- tion iu the place of sign language.

Thesc-called ten-hour bill, introduced by Mr. McGillicuddy of Lewiston, promises to be amoug the early measures for discussion in tbe House.

Judge Goddard, late commissioner on the revision of the statutes, has proposed a bill to correct certain omissions and defects in bis work accompanied by a carefully written report urging tbe necessity of the passage of his bill.

Hon. William P. Frye has presented to President Pennell and Speaker Hamlin each a

copy of the rules and manual of toe United States Senate, tasteinily bound.

XLVIIIth Congress~-2d Session SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 19. In the Senate today, as it was the day fixed

for the delivery of addresses in memory of the late Senator Anthony, the chaplain, Rev. Dr. Hantley, made fitting allusions to that Sena- tor.

On the conclusion of the morning business, | Mr. Aldrich offered the following resolutions: Resolved, That the Senate has heard with pro- '■

found sorrow of the death of Henry B. Anthony, late Senator from Rhode Island. Resolved, That the business of the Senate be now

suspended to enable his associates to pay a proper tribute of regard to biB high character and distin- guished public services.

Messrs. * ldrich, Edmunds, Bayard, Pendle- ton, Garland and others paid feeling tributes to the memory of Senator Anthony. Mr. Edmunds said that scenes like this were interesting in all parts of the world. Infidel, Pagan and Christian alike celebrated them, and in varying forms and with different hopes and aspirations come to weep over the graves of their feilowmen. To all alike the veil that separated the present from the future was eqaally impenetrable to the natural eye, but to the eye of faith, and hope, and, as Mr. Ed- munds believed, of philosophy as well, there opened a field of view which should lead us not to mourn at the death in the fullness of accomplished years, of those we had loved and respected, but rather to be soberly glad for them; for all, who having filled faithfully their appointed place and time, and having borne the last and severest trials of humanity, had been admitted to the life of ihat mysteri- ous future. We here, indeed, “saw through a glass, darkly,” but our friend, who bad gone before, saw clearly and enjoyed the peace that belonged to those who, with a pure heart and faithful endeavor had, in whatever station,• fulfilled the duties set before them. Mr. Ed- munds referred most touchingly to the perso- nal affection existing between himself and the dead Senator, and expressed a hope that in the years that were to come all our Senators might have the fidelity and devotion of duty dis- placed by hie late friend and associate.

Mr. Bayard said: Senator Anthony, ripe in years and wisdom, had been gathered in the harvest of mortality by the inevitable hand of the Supreme Reaper. Seldom had a State been better served than Rhode Island had been.

-- U “O uuntf ucuaiot

Anthony had nevnr willingly wonuded the feelings of any hainau being, and quoting Mr. Anthony’s own words used on an occasion similar to the present, Mr. Pendleton said: ”To complaiu at the close of each a life is to compiain that ripened fruit drops from the boughs; that the full harvest bends to the sickle; it is to complain of the law of our existence, to acease the Creator that be did not make mao immortal on earth.”

Mr. Garland that the Senate and the coun- try well deplore tbn loss of such a maa as Senator Anthony had been. He had been a conspicuous example of a man who believed that oar conduct in life should he without parade or ostentation.

Mr. Hoar paid a warm aud glowiug tribute to the memory of Senator Anthony. His had been a rnoBt sweet and gracious nature, Mr. Hoar eaid —simple, modest, courteous aud without pretence. To be and not to seem had been his ambition.

Mr. Iogalls said of Senator Anthony that it might well be woudered that he so seldom spoke who spoke so well, but no printed page could record the gentle and .benignant courte- sy that be had Bhowu iu his demeanor aud which lent an irresistible charm to his deport- ment. He had been a minister of grace; ho had never made an enemy and never lost a friesd. Him could no heat of controversy dis- turb uor could any rancor of partisanship pro- voke into a retaliation uuworthy of a Christian and a gentleman. His entire career had been a felicitous one, Fate had spared him its irony aud Nemesis had beou propitiated; for- tune had favortd him aud calumny aud de- traction had passed him by. There had Oeeu no winter in his years, aud he had length of days without iufim'ties, had had hour, health, love, friendship, affluence; his life had not been fragrameutary and uufloished but full, round and complete. For him death had not been an interruption but a climax.

Mr. Sheffield dwelt at some length on the life and public services of Senator Anthony, whom he had known, he said, for 40 years, c He referred also to the love Mr. Anthony had borne his native State aud its institutions. Mr Anthony bad believed, he said, that the character of a State was not to be determined by the number of its acres nor its inhabitants, but by the character and achievements of its peeple. The grave had now closed over his 1

mortal remains. Throughout his life he had anticipated the harvest of a good name and he had done nothing to blight it. In conclusion < Mr. Sheffield seconded the resolutions offered by Mr. Aldrich.

The resolutions were adopted, and the Senate then, at 8.50 p. m adjourned. 1

HOUSE. UDder the call of States the following bills, i

&c., were introduced and referted: By Mr. Henley of California to print the

constitution with the statutes at large every session of Congress. By Mr. Cooke of Iowa, a resolution amend-

ing the rules so as to permit the House to specify what measures shall he considered iu committee of the whole.

By Mr. Mills of Texas, a resolution amend- } iDg the rales so that a majority of members J

present may suspend the rules aud pais bills 1

relating to the revenue. By Mr. Collins of Massachusetts, teudering the thanks of Congress to Capt. L. A. Healy (

The motion was opposed by Messrs. Cox of New York, McAdoo of New Jersey and Hol- man of Indiana and favored by Mr. Onrtin of Pennsylvania and was finally lost.

The next committee en the list was the military affairs committee and it being under- stood that it would bring forward the Grant retirement bill Mr. Lower” of Indiana inter- posed a mol,on to adjourn, and after consiuer- able filibustering at 5 o’clock the House ad- journed.

Clow then had a new complaint made out at once and says he shall keep on making com- plaints aud presenting cases to the court until he gets a decision whether or not public bars are to be tolerated. If bars are not lawful he will prosecute every liquor seller in town and if all the complaints are dismissed he will sur- render. He intends to test every prohibitoey featare of the license law.

AFRICAN MISSIONS.

Bishop Taylor’s Expedition to Sail

Thursday.

A Party of 40 Men and Women who will Work Among 2,000,000 of

Peaceful Africans.

New York, Jan. 16.— On© of the largest parties of missionaries that has ever left New Yora will sail ou Thursday by the steamship Oity of Montreal. The party numbers 40 men and women and 10 or 15 children. Some of the adults are ministers, others are physicians, and the rest have various vocations. They come from half a dozen different Stales, sever- al from Vermont and Connecticut, others from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and one or two families from California. The party was organized bv Bishop William Taylor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and it is known as William Taylor’s African expedition. Bishop Taylor is the organizer of the self sup- porting South American missions, by which means a lsrge number of missionaries have been established in South Amorica. On its arrival in Liverpool the party will take a vaa- sel for Loauda. ou the west coast of Alricn. The voyage will take a mouth if the weather is favorable. At Loauda another vessel will carry them beveral hundred miles farther, alt- er which will begin a march of 1000 miles into the interior of Africa. For Bevaral weeks con- tributions have heeu arriving in the oity to the stores which the expedition is to lake with it. These stores are under the care of Richard Grant ol No. 181 Hudson street, who is Bishop Taylor’s agent in the city. “We have,” said Mr Grant, “received from several linen mills 33.000 yards of cotton doth This is the cur- rency of Central Africa. Where a cow is wanted, or some provisions, a strip of this cloth is cut off to pay lor what is bought.”

The party will t»e under the direction of the Rev. A. E. Withey. It is intended, if pos stole, ts establish missionaries at intervals of 100 miles from the coast to the interior, in order to keep up a chain of communication. Bishop Taylor will be absent about three years, making these arrangements. Ail the members of the party are volunteers. Services are bi ing held day and evening in several of the Brooklyn churches, where the members of the party are being cared for. All of them are en- thusiastic and hopeful of the bucccss of their project.

Egyptian matters. London, Jan. tfl. -There was a special meet-

The nesting was in session several hours. The uu- isual occurrence of a council at the war office n Sunday, caused every one to connect tbe ircumstance with the startling information eceived to the effect that Turkey was about to ake an active part in the Egyptian war The fficials were ominously serious as they emerg- d from the council room, but they were very eticeut.and would neither admit nor deny that i heir meeting was in refereuce to the action of Liirkey. This excitement was greatly increas- 1 d today by a report that the government de- ided to resist any attempt on the part of Tur- ley to occupy any portion of Egypt or to laud roopg in that country. There was consider- 1

,ble excitement at the war offices today, and irders were sent to Chatham, Portsmouth and 1

spiracles la murder. St. Petersburg, Jan. 19.—The police of

itussia have received information that tbe Nihilists are now engaged in a conspiracy to murder certain officials who have irnnproil I ,he hatred of the order. Ia tbe effort to hwart this conspiracy a circular has been lent to »ll the principal officials iu the empire, warning them against the employment of new lervauts who are not strongly vouohed for, led cautioning them against the acceptance >f food or drink from any one not known to be trusty. It has also transpired that ever since last September there has been a systematic series of defalcations and embezilements of minor officials connected with the treasuries of the Eussiau cities. The thieves have invaria- bly proved to have been connected with the Nihilist organization, and littie or none of tbe stolen money has been recovered. It is feared that the Nihilists have now obtained sufficient lands to organize a well-planned attempt upon the life of the Czar Alexander III. There is do longer any donbt that the attempt t wreck the speoial train on the Gatscbiua Railway, which was conveying the (Jzar to St. Peters- burg on the 7tb nit., was a deliberate attempt npou the life of the sovereign, and the oorpse of the sentinel found by the side of the rail- way, just where the train was expected to leave tbe track, famished ample proof of the malignity of the assassins, That narrow es- cape has considerable shaken the Czar’s nerves. He is now virtually a hermit in bis winter palaoe on the Neva Perspective, and he looks forward with superstitious dread to the first of March, which will be the fourth anni- versary of the murder of his father.

turnkey at the jail is entitled to much oredit lor the faith nl manner in whioh he has dis- charged the arduous duties of his office, for the tidy and cleanly condition in which ail the apartments at the jail have been kept, as well as for kindly heed and attention to the sug- gestions of the Commissioners in regard to the management and discipline of the inatitntion.

All the coauty bridges have received their fall share of attention the past year in repairs, and are in good condition. A portion of Port- land bridge, that next to the draw, has been thoroughly overhauled, new piles driven, old oaps and stringers taken out and their places tilled by new timbers, thns making that sec- tion of the bridge substantially new. Much of the attendant expeuse is not included in the amount of bills audited this year, owing to sickness of the party who did the work, a set- tlement with him could not be had in season

include the result of the same in its appropriate account.

The debtor account amounts to $14,894.55, and the receipts to $904.08 less than the ex- penditures.

Labor of prisoners at the jail workshop during the year ending December 31,1884, has resulted in the manufacture of the following articles, viz.: Sheets of heeling. 8,884 Fairs of heels. 16,150 Fairs of inter soles .439,194

The whole nnmber of men employed during the year was 440, with a daily average of 58; rendering in the aggregate 16,150 single days’ labor. As a whole, fur business at the shop, the past year has been a hard one, and aside from famishing employment for those sen- tenced to labor has not been a success.

At the commencement of the year the leather trade became so disturbed by heavy failures that we were unable to obtain the usual supply of scraps, refuse and waste ma- terial from the tauueries, and other material, at increased expense, had to be used instead; while the prices obtained for manufactured artioles, iu many instances, barely exceeded the cost of the raw material from which they were made. An annsuaily large amount of the labor rendered at the shop daring the year has been by short sentenced men; those who choose to serve the alternative sentence of thirty days in jail rather than to pay a fine of three or five dollars and costs. The solution of the whole question underlying the financial sucoess of the institution is, just how to employ such labor, under such circumstances so that it will result in a profit to the county, Xu view of the fact that by provision of statute we are obliged to pay more for the board of a prisoner who labors, than for one who does not, tbs opinion of the commissioners is, that aside fr im its reformatory considerations, a jail workshop to he run with an idea of utilizing the labor of the prisoners in jail, is a most un- fortunate investment to make.

The labor of the female portion of the pris- oners daring the year has been devoted mostly to the manufacture and mending of prison suits (or the men, aside from furnishing the requisite labor for washiug clothing for the in- mates, and caring for the same.

The shop oontinues under the snperin'en- denceotJob T. Sanford, with Thomas Pnn- nell #e overseer.

Mt. Washington. The Signal Sialinn in Winter.

(Correspondenee of the Boston Herald.) When we had seen the station In snmmsr

It had the appearance of an ordinary boas*, with the exception of the great timber braces, but now one door was closed and banked with snow, while tbe double W‘H« dows were proteeled by slats nailed about an inch apart. Inside, however, all was warmth. A large range and a huge stove together iu a small room, which served an

kitchen, dining room and office, kept the temperature as high as could be desired, even in the coldest weatbsr. Besids the kitchen, there are three other smaller rooms leadiug from it.

Tbe station Is commanded by Sergt. Beals. He has as assistant observer Private Cahill. Beside these, there Is a cook. These three together live there stone nine months out of the year. Io the antnmn they lay la a stock of provisions which Issts until the following July. In fsct thsir life is similar to that led by keepers of off-shore light- houses, only i he cold la much greeter at Mt. Washington, and the wiad blows there with a greater velocity than at any light- house. The work of these men, though con- stant, is not, as a rule, severe. Tbev have, however, certain duties which are bath dan- gerous and unpleasant, such as re- placing tbe anemometers, carrying the mails to tbe base, and reading tbe ra<n gauge in cold and windy weather. The anemometer is on tbe top of the peaked roof, and when the temperature is low and the weather fog- gy, the frostwork forms so rapidly that tba cups have to be taken down every twobonrs. I’o do tbis is sometimes a'most an Impotsi- jllity. To stand with the wind above 70 niles an oour is difficult, and, when tbe ve- oclty is over 100, to hold on to tbe roof and

juires both strength and courage. The men sometimes have hard work to

tarry the mails, for with a strong wind they ifteu have to crawl od their hands and tnees over the Ice-covered trestle-work, rhere are two supply depots between the mmmit and the base of the mountain, and n these the mall carriers can find shelter tnd food when overtaken by a storm. On teveral occasions they have been obliged to isss one or two nights under these rude oov- Tings until relief was sent. At the upper lepot the earners, in descending, change heir ice creepers for snow shoes, and in as- tending leave their snow shoes and substi- tute ice creepers. It is usual for oDe of the nen to go down to Fabyau’s every fortnight, 10 lha> each one leaves the station ouly ince in six weeks. The rest of the time hey arc cooped up in the little house; for he ground is so rough and the wind is so t'gh at d the cold so severe that they soon ose all desire for more exercise than they ire obliged to take. It may tie asked how the signal men pass

he long winter months. In the first place hey lake five observations a day, three of rhich are telegraphed to Washington. At he end of each month and year the work ms to be art anged and sent to the chief of- ice at Washington. This last doty takes ome time and great care. For amusement he men play cards (or sulphur match- s instead of mouey, and various games, uch as checkers, etc. Private Cabin often nlivens the bouse with the violin, or fright- ii8 the cats by sounding the bugle cails. ?ue greatest dissipation is to pop com.

CUeage* One of the immediate results of the break-

tig up of the trunk line pools last Friday, be- ides cutting rates at Chioago upon east-bound mights, was a sweeping reduction in western onnd emigrant passenger rates announced by bb rBuuipvBuiB nauruau vyompany csaiur- ay. Katas belweeu tbe eastern seaboard orts, New York, Philadelphia and Chicago, (ere reduced from $13 to $1. Similar rates rere adopted for St. Loots and Cincinnati, formerly rates to St. Lonis were $ 15 64 and lincinnati $11 50. By this action the fare to Ian Francisco will be $38, formerly $65, and o Kansas City $8, formerly 23.25. Assistant, leneral Passenger Agent Boyd explained that be redaction was necessary on account of the onrse pursued by companies that bad broken he emigrant agreement formed in the old ool. Some of tbe steamship companies have Iso reduced tbe rates of steerage passage rom Liverpool to New York being fixed at $8. rom Autwern $10, and from Bremen end lamburg $U. Tbe American line maintains :s rate of $13 from Liverpool to this city.

Weman Suffrage. Parker Pillabnry lectured to a large an-

lance in Mechanic Library Koom last see- ing. The lecturer commenced by observing lat when the ever memorable words, “All len are created equal,” were written men uly were meant, and only white men at that. ;lack people were not inclnded. Oar Decla- itiODof Independence should have said "all bite meu are created equal.” Chemically or

iientiflcally, white is the blending of all dors, and black is tbe negative or absenoe t all color. Before the rebellion the Federal Constitn- on was always interpreted in accordance with ie Declaration. Bat tbe war sconred all ilor out of the Declaration of Independence ud the Federal Constitution. Only men may ote so only males are born equal. Under the induration men only share equally ouier ib« destitution. Women pay taxes to make and ipport government and pay Denalities i( they reak the laws. So do men. Death by the alter is one of the penalties of certain crimes, nd the delectable haugman must be a man. len have many more occupations thau women, nd are paid teu times more wages for wbat ley do than women who could do the samo 'ork as well. Women are employed as school lechers on the principle of cheapness. Males nd donkeys at the West are employed for the tarn reus in in place of horses. Malm and onkeys do not pay taxes. Women do, bat either women nor donkeys can vote. In de- atiug clubs the question is discussed whether be right of votiug shall be given to woman. low uuauy luuivs give iu« ngot or »Qt- rage. A clerk atandiug six feet la his shoes ud weighing two hundred pounds is not bought a strange sight bebiud the counter siting pins, tape and laces, to women both oung and old, but no one seem* to tbtuk ho

Yet women aro rushed dowu and denied ail the right that be Creator gave them. In New Hampshire t was a hundred years before women received ducation; not until 1808 Portsmouth made ny movement for the education of girls, lartmouth College educated the Indians but hut its doors tightly to all women. We have aany laws governing women as though they rere no part of the people, bat if women are lot the people, what are they? A part of the lectare was historical regard*

ng the condition of women tn the past and elllng how the church and prleste leve kept them down. The dual thought was hat God’s justice would triumuh and womaa rould rejoioe in her rights. It auy womaa loss not want the right to suffrage it is her luty to want it. Let men beware how they leep woman under any longer.

THE ERESS.

TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20.

We do not rand anonymous letters and communi- cations. The name and addrece of the writer are in nil oases indispensable, not necessarily for publica- tion bat as a guarantee of good faith.

Ws cannot undertake to return or preserve com-

munications that are not nsed.

All the free trade papers agree that it was

protection that caused the suspension of Oli- ver Brothers of PRisburg. Tbe frequent failures telegraphed across the water from free trade England, however, they don’t bother tbelr brads to explain.

Vanderbilt’s property is supposed to have ih'unk some $30,000,000 since the assassina- tion cf Gaifield. As his estate was then es-

timated at about $150,000,000, he has now

remaining about $120,000,000. A great na-

tional subscription for his benefit will proba- bly not be necessary this year.

It Is a'raosl inconceivable that an insane

asylum could have been left so utterly desti- tute of protection against fire as was the Il- linois asylnm burned Sunday, Not only was there no apparatus for extinguishing ire on the premises, but there was not even

tbe means of snmmo-uing assistance from the town Are depart merit.

If Mr. Doriheuner’a speech in the House on Saturday irflecls the viewsuf Gov. Cleve- land oa i he tariff, as it is supposed to do, than the President-elect is a free trader af- ter Mr. Watterson’s own heart, and the Baudall wing of th>- Democracy are not likely t • get any countenai ce fi urn the Adminis- tration of the next four years. The free- traders are very jubilant over the speech and predict that n»xt winter will witness a thor- ough and sweeping revision of the tariff. Now that they have elected their candidate, the ir- e-traders are beginning to admit that the reai question at issue in the last cam.

p»lgn was the questiou of protection of ▲ nericau labor, and that their efforts to d sguise it whi'e tue campaign was in prrg. ress weie due to the conviction that if this had been folly understood to be the case they could never have carried the country.

The dynamite outrage at South Norwalk, Conn., is supposed to be the work of strik-

ers, though they disclaim any hand in It, a thing they would be likely to do, however, whe'ber guilty or innocent. The growing frequency of outrages of this kind indicates that the time is coming and is not

far off when it will be necessary enact some stringent laws to cope with this com.

paiatively new description of crime. The experience or me ltngiisu police shows that

it is one of the easiest crimes to commit and one sf the hardest to detect. A few pounds of dybamite with the necessary ap- paratus to set it ofl occupy but very little space and may be carried round in broad daylight without attracting attention. Beth the dynamite and the machine are easily manufactured to that one person with little or ne assistance can accomplish the whole work from the preparation of the explosive to the blowing up of the building. Evidently a

crime that admits of so much secresy is go- ing to be very hai d to prevent, and wheu committed its author very hard to detect. For some years the Irish dynamiters have been familiarizing people with the nature and use of explosives and one of their num- ber has even delivered lectures on the sub- ject. It is becoming evident now that their Instruction has been turned to account by the wicked and lawless elements of society.

Wby the whiskey men should not take tbeir chances with the men who deal in su-

gar or other goods which pay a revenue to the government it Is hard to see. The whis- key men, haviog overestimated the capacity of the American people for tbeir product, find themselves with a bigger stock on band thau they can sell immediately. They want the government to postpone tha collection of the tax, therefore, until tbeir surplus stock cau be utilized. Sugar importers sometimes, we suppose, get a surplus stock on hand, bat we never heard of their rushiDg to Congrest and the Secretary of the Treasury and ask- ing that the duties on it be revoked until they got a chance to sell it. But the whis- key men seem to think their business is on< that calls for special protection. Last win ter they went to Congress with a request that the bonded period of whiskey he ex-

tended, that is, that the time for payment o

taxes on tbeir goods be postponed. Ii was ref- sed. Nothing daunted, how-

ever, they applied to the Secreta- ry of the Treasury this winter for the same kind of a favor that Congress refused last winter, aud the Secretary in a measure

grimed It. Now the Secretary has sent a

message to Congress recommending fnrlhei favors in the same direction. Congress, wc are happy to say, is in no mood to grant them.

“Let them stay out their terms t Not it we can help it, and we think we can. Why, our men have already decided who shall have the highest places, and if they are told te wait lor R> punlicaos who have not complet- ed their terms, there will be the biggest sort of a rumpus. We are in and we propose tc have all that being tn ever meant to a party. W* haven’t been Democrats since 1860 fot fun.” This is the talk a Maine Democrat ia reported to have made by the Boston Jour- nal. It undoubtedly represents accurately the feeiiugs of a great many more Democrats of Maine who bridle their tongues. Unless the words “offensive partisans” are con- strued to include pretty much all the Re- publican office holders in Maine there is go- ing to be some vigorous kicking on the part of Maine’s “hungry aud thirsty.” If Cleve- land fla'ters himself that the Maine Demo- crats <re content with the success of tbeii party it is because be isn’t acquainted with them. A Maine Democrat, as be will prob- ably find out when be meets some of them in their black hats and dress coats on iuaugura tion day, has a voracious appetite which can

•niy be satisfied by regular meals from the pnbllc crib. It has been sharpened by a quar- ter of a century ot abstinence aud if it isn’t appeased now a terrible rumpus will be kicked up.

The Railroads and the Public. Senator Van Vyck’s tirade against the

railroads last week undoubtedly voices the sentiment of a great number of people in this country, especially in the west. Of late yeari a strong prejudice has grown up against railroad corporations and a disposi- tion by legislation to coerce them to do a

great many thlogs which are unreasonable aad unjust. Railroads receive from the pub- lic rights and franchises of great value and

by reason of them are under deeper obliga- tions than almost any other corporation, to consult the pnblis convenience and welfare In their management. A great many rail- road corporations have been utterly un-

miudiul ef these obligations and, to borrow the phrase attributed to Mr. -Vanderbilt, have by their acts plainly told the public to 09 man sea. mere is no aouoi aiso out

lame of them have frequently been able to defy aud defeat tbe wishes of the public by the corrupt use of money in State legisla- tures and in tbe National Congress. From these sins of omission and commission nat- urally enough there has sprung up in the

public mind tbe feeling that a railroad cor-

poration is little better than a band of swlo-

dlert who are alwaya to be suspected of meditating robb..ry of tbe people and whom It is perfectly proper to hamper with all sorts of legal enactments, on the principle that the only effective way of fighting the devil is with fire. There is no deoying the fact that most of tbe prejudice against rail- roads arises from their owo bad conduct, and that people even who do not share in it

regard it with a certain amount of aympatby. Senator Van Vjck therefore undoubtedly toucbed a popular chord wbeu be a-ked tbe

Senate to pass some restrictive legislation against tbe railroads.

But, as all popular clamors are apt to, the

Clamor against tbe railroads has overleaped

the bounds of reason and is iDC.ined to

deny that they have any rights at all which the public is bound to respect. Hence legislation in regard to the railroads is very apt to take the form ot a raid upon them. The fundamental idea of a good deal of it seems to be a desire to punish them, to get square with them so to speak. Line the leg- islation which the Grangers in the west rushed through the State legislatures sever-

al years ago much of it is conceived and executed in passion and therefore is ex-

ceedingly crude, and, as in case referred to, when it comes to be tested goes all to pieces. Undoubtedly if Hr. Van Vyck could have his way the House inter-state commerce bill would be rushed through the Senate in a

twinkling and the National Government committed to a measure that is full of pro- visions which if they could be enforced at all would pretty surely wo.-k as much Injury to the public that they are intended to pro tect as to the railroads. One ol these pro- visions forbids railroads to make any dis- criminations in freight under any circum- stances. That is, if a perishable article is )y ing in tbe depot awaiting shipment along- side of one which delay will not affect, and a train comes along with room for the form- er but not for both, the perishable article cannot be taken and the other left, but both must be taken or both left. There are other provisions which would work equally absurd results in practice. Tbe Senate’s plau is to

commit tbe matter of regulating railroad traffic between tbe States to a commission wh ch can thoroughly investigate the subject and adopt such rules as are calculated to

remedy the evils which exist. The Senate pioposes io find out what the matter is be- fore prescribing a remedy. That seems to be a sensible way of proceeding, and mucb more likely to cure tbe evils that really exist, than tbe hap-bazard enactments of the House.

Seuaior Frye bas introduced a bill for a

pos'at susidy to vessels of American regis- try between our own aud foreign ports, or

between our own Atlantic aod Pacific ports touching at foreign intermediate. Tbe bill allows the postmaster geoeral te contract for such mail service at a price not exceeding gl per mile for each way, contracts to ran

four years, and the total amount net to ex-

ceed the amount received for postage on foreign mails. Of conrse as this is

subsidy, it will meet opposition for that reason alone. But if we are to have any American steamships running between oar

own and foreign ports we have got to adopt a measure of this kind. English steamship lines are subsidized iu this way, and Ameri- can lines mnst be or perish.

Ayer’s

CherryPectoral Should bo kept constantly at hand, for use In emergencies of the household. Many a mother, startled in the night by the ominous sounds of Croup, finds the little sufferer, with red and swollen face, gasping for air. In such cases Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is Invaluable. Mrs. Emma Gedney, 159 West 128 st., New Tork, writes: “While in the country, last winter, my little boy, three years old, was taken ill with Croup; it seemed as if ho would die from strangulation. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral was tried in small and frequent doses, and, in less than half on

hour, the little patient was breathing easily. The doctor said that the Pectoral saved my darling’s life.” Mrs. Chas. B. Landon,Guilford,Conn., writes: “Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral

Saved My Life, and also the life of my little son. As he is troubled with Croup, I dare not be without this remedy in the house.” Mrs. J. Gregg, Lowell, Mass., writes: “My children have repeatedly taken Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for Coughs and Croup. It gives immediate relief, followed by cure.” Mrs. Mary E. Evans, Scranton, Pa., writes: “I have two little boys, both of whom have been, from infancy, subject to violent attacks of Croup. About six months ago we began using Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and it acts like a charm. In a

few minutes after the child takes it, he breathes easily and rests well. Every mother ought to know what a blessing I have found In Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral.” Mrs. Wm. C. Reid, Freehold, N. J., writes: “In our family, Ayer’s medicines have been blessings for many years. In cases of Colds and Coughs, we take

Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, and the inconvenience Is soon forgotten.”

DIRIGO~FARM. HAIVD.«0!TIE RESIDENCE, with a very desirable farm of Eighteen Acres, located at Falmouth

ForesiUe, o*ly three miles from the City of Portland. HOUSEHOLD FURNITURE, all purchased new wt hin a year—consisting of Parlor and Dining Room Furniture. Combination Book Case and Library Desk, Letter Press, superb Mahogany Lounge, 130 years old; modern Cherry and Ash Chamber Suites, Hair Mattresses and Bedding; Kitchenware in great variety; Brussels and Wool Carpets, some of which have been in use but. a few weeks.

THOROUcSIfl BKb D atoB'K. Four very handsome A. J. C. C. Jersey Heifers and a superb Jersey Bull, (grandson of the great $10,000 Pedro), making an extremely choice herd of very desirable animals all solid color, full black points and Gilt Edged pedigrees, including the most fashionable fam- ilies, and were selected by the owner especially for his own breeding.

KEUIMTER*- Is HER RAH IRK and Small Yorkshire Swine! Our choicest reserved breeding animals. Pure Brea Poultry! A choice lot that were reserved for next season’s breeding, and the best birds that can be procured.

TWO H * IV SOME ROA I» HORSKN with Carriages. Sleigh, Wagons, Harnesses, Robes, etc., all bought new'within a year and a great variety of Dairy Implements, Creamery, Churns, etc., and Farming Implements and Tools in complete vaiiety.

This farm ha» been known the past year the DIRIGO STOCK FARM, and has gained awery enviable reputatior for the qu&li y of the hue stock bred aud sold the past year, and it affords an excellent op- portunity for the right pa-ty to continue the same business.

The farm is so conveniently located near the city as to afford a gentleman a pleasant home combining both city and country, and is reached by a lovt ly drive of thirty minuteB along the shores of the bay.

The house is large, nice rooms, large halls, high studded, finished in modern style, two thousand dollars having been expended in the past year in good, solid Improvements! The buildings are conveniently and especially built and ar angeu, large barns, poultry house (60 feet long), piggery (65 feet long, fitted with chimney and heater), good barn cellar, two good wells, and every desirable convenience, ihe grounds are very flue'y situated, sightly, with ocean view, and in full view of city of Portland, A large sum has been expended in ©s ablishiug a fine orchard of TWO HUNDRED TREES, apples, pears, plums, cherries, etc., together with an acre of small frui s consisting of the most desirable varieties of strawberries, rasp- berries, blackberries, gooseberries, Fay’s Prolific Currants, etc., that will yield a large revenue the com- ing seaso.i. For an early market garden a more desirable or better location cannot be found, and peas were marketed ibe 21st of Jane last year, and thtee first premiums were awarded for squashes sent from tbe farm to the Maine State Fair. The surrounding properties are very expensive, and the neighborhood most excellent.

Business calling the owner to California and the west for a year or more is the only reason that this de- sirable property is offered for sale.

Farm and Residence will be sold at 10 o’clock sharp. The buildings were insured for $2500 before the improvements were made, aud the property only requires to be seen to be appreciated. It will surely dou- ble in value wi.bin a few years, and nowhere in the vicinity of Portland is property in so great a demand as in this locality. Sale positive, rain or shine. Teams will leave Sawyer’s Stable, cor. Federal and Mar- ket streets, at 9. a. m.

A THRILLING STORY. Am told by a Merchant iu Troy, IV- V.—A

Nurgirul peratiou Avoided —How a Father, Wile and Daughter Fscaped an Awful Doom Of the hundreds of accounts of remarkable cures

wrought by DR. KENNEDY’S FAVORITE REM- EDY none have appeared so pu ely astonishing as the following: The persons mentioned are among the most highly respected in the city of Troy, and the story as told by the father will prove mterest- ingtto all our readers.—Ed.

Troy.N Y. Dr. Kennedy, Rondout, N. Y.:

Dear Sir: Mydau.bter was afflie'ed with a Be, vere growth of Fungus. To remove it we bad re- sorted to almost every remedy and consul ed the most prominent su'geons and physicians. Dr.-, of Troy, said that a su’gical operation would be necessary, but fearing fatal results I hesitated. Some of the physicians claimed that it was caused by one’hing aud some by another. The Fungus was prominent and disfigured her looks. Having heard of Dr. Kennedy’s FAVORITE REMEDY working so thoroughly on the blood 1 determined to try it, t see if this medicine cou d do what doctors had failed to do aud surgeons had hardly dared to undertake. I can s y iu truth that the result of this trial was ihe complete cure of my daughter of this dreadful malady. Dr. Kennedy’s FAVORITE REMEDY alone effected it. We used nothing ebe, fo ther things had completely failed My daugh- ter to day enioys vigorous health ami to Favorite Remedy alone is the credit due. My wi e also was verv poor in health, due to some liver difficulty with which she had suffered a long time until she be- came very much reduced in flesh. A trial ot Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy has resulted in the c mplete restoration of her health, which she had not enjoyed for yea 8. She had gained in fle>h aud strength aud thus secured perfect health, and 'his is DUE E sTIRELY TO DR. KENNKDY’S F a VOR- 1TE REMEDY.

REMEDY. The first bottle afforded immediate re- lief, -lid from that dav to this I can sav that Favor- ite Remedy has restored me to perfect health. These are facts which I claim prove that Dr. Ken- nedy's Favorite Remedy is tbe be-t medicine in tlie w-ixJd for those afflicted with the above difficulties. If any one in the city of Troy doubts the truth of these statements let him come tome and 1 will prove them. 1 have recoinmeuded Favorite Reme- dy to hundreds and with the same good results.

ferred the order of the City Council to ascer- tain the character of the bill to be presented to the Legislature by the Grand Trunk Railroad Company enlarging the powers of the Atlan- tic and St. Lawrence Railroad Company’s sink lug fund reported that they find no reason to object to the passage of tbe order.

ThiB ordinance passed to its second reading and was ordered to be printed.

CEMETERIES AND PUBLIC GROUNDS. The committee on cemeteries and public

grounds, to whom was referred the petition of W. W. Thomas and others,—petitioning the City Council to obtaiu from the Legislature of the State a statute establishing a hoard of commisiioners of cemeteries and public grounds—reported that they deemed it for the bebt interests of the city that a law Bhould be enacted creating such a commission, to be ap- pointed by the Mayor with the approval of the City Council.

Qtt'te a lengthy discussion followed the reading of the above report. Messrs. Noyes aud Kelsey favored adopting the recommenda- tion, while the Mayor and Messrs Denison and Hawkes opposed it. The recommenda- tion was adopted by a Vote of three yeas to two nays.

REFERRED. The following Was inferred: liesoleed, That a committee consisting of three

ORDERED FEINTED. New rules and orders relating to gunpowder,

were read aud ordered printed. BACK BAT NUISANCE.

The Mayor read the following report of the committee on the Bay Bay nuisance, and it was accepted and the recommendation adopted:

Portland, Jan. 19, 1885. The committee appointee to investigate what

is termed “The Back Bay nuisance,’’ and to whom was referred a numerously signed ueti- liou relating thereto, report that in compliance with the order of the City Council, the Mayor invited Messrs. Israel T. Dana | Edward C. Jordan, Walter Allen, Daniel Hamblen and Charles M. Plummer to join the committee. With the exception of Mr. Plnmmer, who was unable to attend, all have taken au ao’ive in- terest in the subjects under consideration, and have given much valuable time and intelligent assistance to the committee, which is appre- ciated and gratefully acknowledged by the members from tbe City Council.

Immediately after their organization the committee invited a public heariug in the Council chamber. A large number of citizens were present, who freely expressed their eeuti- ments; and, while they were far from being unanimous in their conclusions as to the cause, it was very evident that there was at limes in many parts of the city offensive effluvia, es- pecially in the night time and in warm weather, from which all were exceedingly de- sirens to be relieved.

The importance of the subject and the great interest manifested therein, impressed the i committee that they should have the counsel

of some person of larger experience and wider [ observation than themselves, and with consent

of the City Council they invited Mr. J. Her- 1 bert 8hedd of Providence, R. I., to visit the city. In the selection of Mr. Shedd our city

; civil engineer was consulted, and there was no division in the committee.

Accompanied by Mr. Goodwin and a portion of the committee, Mr. Sbedd visited and ex- amined many localities suspected of giving cause for complaint. The maps and plans in tbe Civil Engineer’s office were placed at his disposal, and such assistance as oould be ren- dered by Mr. Goodwin, or the committee, waB given. Mr. Shedd’s conclusions hava already been reported to the City Council, ordered I printed and quite generally distributed.

December steond, tbe several gentlemen,not members of the City Council, withdrew from tbe committee for reasons given in their letter, which accompanies this report.

I It is not evident that the unpleasant odors complained of, whatever may be their source, have been productive of disease, nor are the oommittee prepared to say, as tbe result of their investigation that one section of our city is more unhealthy thau another. We find do reason for suspicion that the boast of Portland to be an unusually healthy city is otherwise 1 than true.

Tr «rnnl A -__a.. A* si

city into districts and tabulate each facts in relation to disease and death as are obtainable, to the end that if there are localities of greater danger to health than others, they should be discovered and remedies applied.

The initiatory steps taken to prevent the further spreading upon the flats of Back Cove

1 of the sewage of that district provide for one I of the elements of the nuisauce complained of, but there are others equally if Dot mure im-

portant, as will be seen from Mr. Shedd’s re- port.

The city is now too large to longer tolerate I certain of what might be termed provincialisms (

of habits; the senses of eight and smell have rights «hich strongly appeal for more strin- gent laws and efficient enforcement, regulating the construction of privy vaults and the re- moval of their oootents.

The dumping of refuse upon vacant lots, in- to the docks and along the shore, should not be permitted, and attention should be immedi- ately given to the better ventilation of the •ewerBand culverts.

It being so near the end of the municipal year, lutle can be done by the City CoudciI Oeyond correcting defects iu the laws, thns preparing the way for more effective work iu future. This, iu the opinion of thecommittee, can oe better done through the agency of a board of health than otherwise; we would therefore suggest that a board of health for the city of Portiauo be established and recommend that the Dext City CoudciI make a liberal ap- propriation to euabie them to reotify some of the evils complained nf.

1 Makquis F. Kino, For the Committee.

In Joint Convention. Samuel H. Dyer was elected surveyor of

, Inmber. Permission was given Mr. Sidney *W. Thai-

ter to address the convention in support of a petition of the executive committee of the Portland Civil Service Beform Association

t urging the City Council to petition the Legis- laiare of the State, at its present session, for the enactment of a bill regulating the appoint- meat 01 the members of the police force of the city of Portland. The proposed act contains eight sections.

Section 1st provides that no person shall be 1 appointed to the police or watoh of the city of

Portland, as policeman, patrolmaa, watchman or keeper, nr for any positiou of like rank, or for any position of infarior rank thereto, ex- cept such person shall be Dot over 10 years, Dor nnder 25 years of age, and shall have suc-

cessfully passed a competitive examination, wi'biu two years before said appointment., and shall have had a continuons residence in the

> City ol Portland, from at leaBt two years be- » fore said examination to the time of said ap-

SectioD 2nd provides that tbe examining board,which shall consist of not less than three persons who shall serve without pay, aud not more than a majority of whom shall be from the same political party, and may be constituted from the Board of Aldermen or from any other Oity officials, including the Mayor and officers of tbe Common Council, or iu any part from each; but shall include the city physician or some other competent physician or snrgeon of approved reputation aod standing.

Section tith provides that the Mayor may at any time suspend the marshal or head of police, or any other officer or member of said police or watch, lor Bach time and under such regulations as may be from time to time adopt- ed by tbe Mayor and Aldermen with the ap- proval of tbe Mayor,

Mr. Thaxter said the bill was drawn by a

gentleman of eminent legal ability and was warmly advocated by tbe Civil Service Asso- ciation. He favored an open competitive ex- amination for the polloe force. It is not a new thing for it has been tried for ten years in Brookiyu with satisfying results. In every city of New York of over 110,000 inhabitants this system is made obli^at^ry. In Massachusetts tbe earne Bystem prevails in cities of over 35,* 000 inhabitants. Tbe examination tests tbe

1 moral,physical anu intellectual qualifications of I the applicant.

A brief discussion followed by Aldermen Noyes and Denison and Councilman Thomp- son and Turner; alter which tbe petition was

referred to a joint special committee consist- ing of Aldermen Russell, Hashes and Noyes.

In Common Council. Abient: Mesre. Quinn and Burleigh. Papers from tbe upper beard passed in con-

currence. Messrs. King, Wilson ard Higgins were ap-

pointed the commitieaon the part of this board on the petition of the Civil Service Commis- sion.

On the special committee on the resolve to provide for special legislation in regard to a Board of Health, the militia law, and law in refer -nee to Superintending School Commit- tee, Messrs. Thompson, McLellan and Buxton were appointed.

In reference to the appointment of a Board of Commissioners on Public Grounds,Mr. Wil- son opposed the matter on the giound of its giving too much power to outsiders, and Mr. Woodbury supported it. The recommendation was indefinitely postponed on motion of Mr. Winchester by a standing vote of 10 to 7.

$63 016.13; for 1884 they were $66,099 45; a gam of $3,083.32.

On May 21st the Spring street stable was barned, together with eight horses, thirty tons of hay aud a portion of onr harnesses. Our total loss was $5,194 35 and the Insurance upon the whole was 5,096.29. We have rebuilt the stable with brick 84x124 feet, with gravel roof and iron gutters. There are stalls for one hundred horses aDd these are fitted with mod- ern fixtures, arranged so as to give all the light and air possible The total coBt of the buildmgs was $13,281.01, and we have paid on account of tbe same $11,012 96.

The car house has been raised,a new founda- tion wall and new sills put under and a one- story addition erected for the storage of sleigh cars.j

That portion of the traok lying between the tannery crossing on Green street aud WIdb- low’s turnout, and the double tracks from a point near Park street to Market square have been rebuilt and a new turnout built at Deer- es’8 bridge. 8tael rails aud juniper timbers have been used and tbe double tracks paved with granite blocks.

We have also laid 25 tons of steel T rails on the Deertng line; put in a steel curve at Woodford’s; a siding opposite the base ball grounds; and lowered the road bed and track to compare with the grade of the street near Deeriog Centre. The usiial amount of paint- iug aDd repairing has been done upon the cars and one sleigh car rebuilt. We have bought six new close cars and four open cross seat cars of J. G. Brill & Co., of Philadelphia. The close cars have been delivered and paid for. The open cars will be delivered in March.

Our stock of horses has been increased. We now have 158 against 132 last year. The in- crease has been made on acoount of changing (he balance of the cars from one to two horse. We have bought 56 horses, sold 26 and lost 13 by fire and other causes during rhe year. The following is a detailed statement of the receipts and expenditures for tbe past year:

Our outstanding notes amount to 814,000. There is due on stable 82,268.05 and on the car house 81,707 24.

In consequence of the bad condition of the balance of the city tracks, the 8tringers and oroes ties being deoayed and the rails so worn that the cars are running on the flanges of the wheels instead of on the tread, not onlv injur- ing the cars but materially increasing the draught, the directors have deemed it advisa- ble to take advantage of the low prioes of ma- terials and relay with steel rails. To that end they have contracted for a sufficient quantity of material to put the road in first-class condi- tion and hope to have the road all completed by the first of June.

The old board of directors were re-elected with the exception of H. M. Hart, elected in place of E A. Horton, removed from the city. The directors will organize at 10 o’clook this morning.

POLO AT PORTLAND RINK. m

Portland Rink saw the first game of polo for the season last night. Mr. Knowlton has fitted the rink up in fine shape for the game, covered the win- dow sides with canvas, boarded up the railing on

the other side, and stretchad a netting in front of the spectators’ seats, and put everything in first- class shape, so that a good game can be placed there. Last night the game was betweeu two picked teams, the “Somebodys” and “Nobodys.” The first named were the victors by a score of 3 to 1 iu twenty minutes. There was lots o«f fun anil many comical tumbles.

THAT “CHALLENGE.” The following is the “challenge” from Manager

Whittier that appeared in the American Roller, about which the Bath Times said, “It requires a

vast amount of egotism to claim the Bijou club as

the leading club of Maine,” and which the Bidde- fords have taken upon themselves to accept;

Portland, Me., Dec. 30th, 1884. jo/uiioi vj inc inwcncun nuuer:

Seeing your artiele in last week’s Roller, in regard to bringing about a meeting between our Maine polo champions and those of Mas- sachusetts, I would say 1 should be moat happy to arrange a meeting between my my team, the Bijous, (who at present writing stand tied for first position in the Maine Slate League with the Granite Citys), and auy of the leading Massachusetts clubs, Bay States, Paris or Salems

{referred. I will willingly pay expenses of any eading Massachusetts team to come here and play

my team and ashall be happy to hear from any such team, if they wish to make the trip and con test a game. Hoping to hear from some of the leading teams at an early date, I remain,

Yours, etc., Bert C. Whittier,

Manager of the Bijou Rink and Bijou Polo Team, Portland, Me. Mr. Whittier says this is the only statement he

has made, and how the Bid lefords can take that as a challenge to them is a mystery. Life is too short to bother with them.

NOTES. Granite Citys vs. W. H. T.’s at Augusta tonight. Ladies' night at Portland Rink tonight. There will be an immense crowd at the Bijou to-

morrow night to see the game between the Bijous and Alamedas.

The Kennebec Journal says it is understood that Farrell and Looke will play with the Granite Citys but a short time longer.

The Wright & Ditson team of base ball men and polo players, which will be at the Bijou next vion- day Bight, have in the company Morrill, Buffinton, Irwin, Hathorne, Mannirg, Tully and Knight. For thirty minutes they will give an exhibition ot pitch ing, catching, throwing and base running, after which the Bijous will show ihem how polo is played in the Pine Tree State. The game will he played on boxwood rollers. This ought to prove a great at- traction.

The game at the Bijou last night, between the two clubs from the Dirigo Boat Club, was won by one of them,—we can’t say which, for they were not named—by three straight goals.

The Grattan Literary Society has two polo clubs now, the Alphas ahd Omegas. They will play at the Bijou Thursday night. The City Hall Rink in Lewiston will reopen soon, so it is reported. It will be run under the auspices of the Lewiston Polo Club, and they wish to enter the Maine State League. With such a club as the W. H. lYs from Lewiston, the league managers should he satisfied.

The Deerings held a meeting last night, and chose Wanen Gledhill captain, and Charles E. Marwick manager.

Although early in the sea-

son to show SPRING

GOODS, we find there are

many who prefer to KEEP IN ADVANCE of their

needs, and, during the leis- ure of the dull season while

labor is more readily secur-

ed to do their “Spring sew-

ing.” This we believe is. TRUE

ECONOMY, more especial- ly in such staple goods as

SILKS which do not go out of style.

To this portion of our

customers, more particu- larly, we now appeal, feel-

ing sure we can save you both time and money.

We respectfnlly request your inspection of these el-

egant goods.
