THE WRECKED Recommendations
ing what the Press said yesterday morning
schooner waswrecked on Cushing's Island Tues
day night. 1t seems that the schooner, which
was vessel of SO tons burthen, belonged in
Brooklin Maine. She was from Boston bound
home and put into the harbor for refuge from
the gale. The gale struck her and blew her
sails away Then she drfted ashore on the
southerly point of the island near the Portland
light, on the outer side. When she struck her
bottom went out and her masts went over. Her
crew, consisting of four men and the cabin boy,
chung to the masts The men were washed
ashore but no such good fortune awaited the
boy; he was swept off from the mast by the
sea and drowned. One of the men waslse-
verely injured by the falling mast, but not so
badly as to prevent his reaching the shore.
The vessel is an old one, having been built in
1850. Her name is the H. w. Wellington; the
name of the captain is Freethy. The drowned
boy was native of Brookin and aged IA years.
His name we did not learn. The anchors
chains, rigging etc., of the vessel were saved.

FLORA MYERS N. Y. THEATRE.-The "Wi-
low Copse" at Music Hall last night drew fair
house. The piece was well presented, having
many good points about it. J. w. Lanergan,
whit played Luke Fielding, showed careful
study in his part, and is REILLY an actor of rare
merit. G. A. Hill as Col. Vanguard has
heavy flexible voice and wrought himself into
passion with great deal of naturalness. Miss
Efie Keans as Meg, and Frank Budworth as
Augustus threw in the lighter shades with
considerable vicacity.
The closing farce of Barun Barney brought
out the character acting of Miss Keans and
Budworth finely, and produced roars of laugh
ter. This evening they present "Still Waters
Run Deep and ''The Masquerade Ball."
Those who wish to enjoy hearty laugh and
get an evenings entertainment of fun, we ad-
wise to go to Music Hall.

BREAKING AND ENTERNG.-Yesterd morn
ing when the proprietor of the Eureka Dollar
Store on the corner of Centre and Congress
streets, entered his place of business he dis
covered that one of the heavy plate glass show
windows had been broken, and tray Of jew
elry stolen. Tho window, which is of French
plate glass upwards of quarter of an inch
thick, had been smashed in by brick appar-
entity, as there was . loose one on the sidewalk.
Up to the time of writing no clue has been
got to the perpetrators of the offence. There
were blood stains on the window and the po-
lice would probably like to see the man with
q scratched hand.
The private Waterman who is employed by
several firms in the vicinity, states that he
passed the store at three o'clock in the morn
ing, at which time all was quiet and the win
dow unbroken. At four o'clock he found the
window broken and a policeman standing
there who had but recently discovered it. So
it is evident that the robbery must have taken
place between three and four O'clock. The
loss amounts to about hundred dollars.
The Portland daily press., 1872-11-16

WAR OF THE Enthusiastically morning
about nine o'clock word was sent to the police
station that boy had been shot near the old
field opposite the Horse Car stables ON Spring
street. Officer Wyman was dispatched to that
vicinity, and found the state Of affairs to be
Substantially this: As three of the boys at
tending the Park street grammar school were
vending their way 10 the schoolhouse they en-
countered some boys who were proceeding to
the schoolhouse on Clark street. A discussion
with stones ensued, in which the Park street.
boys got worsted; one Of them then drew sim
gle barreled pistol and discharged it. The ball
hit Edward Finnegan near the hip, infiicting
slight flesh wound. Finnegan was taken to his
home, and word sent to the police station. 1t
seems there has been trouble between the boys
for some time, and the Park street pupils arm
ed themselves with pistols, in anticipation of
further hostilities. They assert that Finnegan
threw the first rock. The Park street boys
were American, and the Clark street Irish.
Officer Wyman arrested the offender and
brought him to the station. We understand
that Finnegan's mother declines to prosecute.

AttOrneY-Gsneral Coke Ready
fer Prosecution.

NEW ORLEANS, February 2O.-The
Galveston News special from Austin
says: Marshal Purnell went to Gov.
ernor Davis this morning and pre-
sented a capias from the Federal
court, and asked if he would submit
to the arrest. The governor said
''Sir, you will hear in a day or two
from the department Of ia tice at
Washington. You will govern your
self accordingly, sir. You may keep
your capias. The national govern
ment will protect me-" The case
rests. There is considerable tax
among the governors partizans about
q receipt being found, which is said
to have been given a member Of the
grand jury for bribery in q tobacco
case some time ago. The intentiOnis is to
cast Odium on the grand jury. The
receipt is believed to be a forgery.
The governor and other officials seem
to fear the pending Investigation.
Governor Il. NJ. Pease and Judge
Richard Coke, the attorneys for the
prosecution, announce that they are
ready for the trial. The defendants
seem to prefer delay. Judge Duvall
allowed the district attorney to sub
stitute others for the stolen indict-
ments agaihst Fountain, whose case
will be called tomorrow. Colonel
Giddings is here to- day investigating

RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
First Days Proceedings Of the Great Gath
eriha In IlHcIsEati.

CINCINNATI, February 20. - The
Ohio river. Improvement convention
met this morning at College hall, and
effected a temporary organization by
choosing Thomas J. Power, Of Penn
svlvanis, temporary chairman, and
Captain ] p. Santmeyer, secretary.
Committees on credentials and or
ganizatiOn we're appointed.
Letters were read from Senator
Morton, Secretary Belknap, Governor
BOreman, of West Virginia, Cover
nor Baker, of Indiana, Simon Came.
ron, Of Pennsylvania, General Hum
phries, of the United States army en-
gineers, expressing regret that they
could not be present.
The convention will organize per-
manenty at two O'Clock this after
noon.
The Ohio river improvement conven-
ton this afternoon organized perment-
ly by electing the following officers:
president, Hon. Jesse ID. Bright, of
Kentucky; vIce-presidentsJ J. W. Chal-
fant Of Pennsylvania, Hon. ]. w. Cow.
den Of West Virginia, Captain r. II.
WOlfolk of Louisville, Thomas w.
Howard of Indiana, 7. ]. Shannon Of
Illinois; secretaries, Captain J. p.
Santmeyer of Cincinnati, Isaac Smith
OF West Virginia, and Colonel John
Todd OF Kentucky. Hon. Jesse d.
Bright upon taking the chair made q
speech in which he alluded to the
proposition made twenty years ago
by Commodore Ellet to dam the rivers
that united at Pittsburg to form the
Ohio, so that the water might be used
TO feed the river and make it naviga-
bic in dry seasons. He said the prop
ositiOn then regarded as absurd had
come to be thought feasible. After
the address various standing commit
tees were appointed, and Colonel
William E. Merrill government engi.
neeF in charge OF improvements on
the Ohio also delivered an address.
Colonel Merrill said the plan of the
Improvement OF the Ohio was about
the same as that for foreign rivers,
but owing to less dense population
the same perfection was not attainsble
in this country. The Ellet plan of
the Alleghanv and fMOnOn-
gehala met with little favor from the
" AO AihA 4hNEDAAEdlCA IT.
Mr. Roberts estimated the cost of
this plan at $50, 900, 600, not including
incidental damages. He said locks
and dams was the only practicable |
plan for the upper end of the river.
Chutes could be made in these dams |
TO allow coal-bOats to pass. This plan
would be impracticable below the falls |
at Louisville. Wing dams were found |
TO answer there. Single-chute dams
could be made at a cost of $34 600 |
each, while the dams on the upper |
Ohio would cost $15, 600 each. He was
IN favor Of continuing the present
plan Of Improvement, that is OF dam
ming one channel at the island and
wing dams on the bars. For lack OF
money he would not be able to do
much on the Ohio river this year. |
Dredging he would resort to only in
he upper part of the river. Elsewhere
le would have that work to the
'urrent. He was in favor of extend
ng the Jurisdiction OF the lighthouse
BOARD to the Western rivers.
There was no session tonight.
