The river steamer William J. Lewis was
burned near Chester, H., on Tuesday last
The St. Louis Democrat says: The Lewis
was on her way from Vicksburg with very
little freight, and probably not over dozen
passengers. The owners will feel her loss
severely, for, although she is insured for
SIS, COO, she can not be replaced for less than
5000. They claim that, in speed, capacity
and all else, she never bad her equal as
a Missouri river packet. She was only six
teen months old, was built at Jacksonville,
Ind, and completed here. She cost S., 600.
Her dimensions were as follows: Length,
235 feet, breadth SO feet, hold 61S feet,
cylinders % inches diameter, feet stroke;
capacity ZOO tons. The insurance, SIS 600,
Is placed in about twenty offices in Wheel
ing, Cincinnati, Pittsburg and this city.
Although built especially for the Missouri
river. she made her first trip to New Or
leans, leaving this port November H. 1873.
She was the second boat of her name, and
both were remarkably remunerative invest
mems. A special to the Democrat from
Chester last evening gives the following,
though but little in addition; "The VIM.
J. Lewis, bound north, while coaling at this
point this afternoon. took fire and burned
to the water-line. Boat and cargo a total
loss. Watchman, one pilot with three
others are missing, and are supposed to be

Ferry Landing.

The CITY of Portland has been asked to pro-
vide some suitable public landing for the &C.
commodation of the Ferry on her side of the
harbor, and the only response which the petit
TONERS have received is 'leave to withdraw
Cape Elizabeth when asked to furnish a
landing on her side, did not refuse, but pur-
chased flats and built ferry way, suitable for
ferry purposes at large expense to the town,
while Portland, who receives direct benefit
from the Ferry by way of large mercantile
trade from the citizens of Ferry and Point viii
lagos, refuses to provide the necessary accom-
modations which justly belong to her to do.
The ancient records of York, Falmouth and
Portland, conclusively show that ferry has
been established over Fore River two hundred
years: and that for long time it was the only
way from Portland westward, and these rec
ords further show that ferry way or landing
was once established under directions from the
"Court of Common Pleas" by the town of Fall
mouth at Ferry Point on the eastwardy side
of Clay Cove, and road was laid to it from
India street, three rods wide and from thence
to the channel the same width. These ways
continued to be occupied for ferry purposes
down to about 1885, when business having re-
at Tngraham's wharf was provided by
Mr.. Ingraham for the ferry, in Or
der to secure the trade from the Cape the
benefit of which was more appreciated then
than it is now The ferry ceased to land he re
in 1847, when a charter was procured for
steam ferry boat, which landed on private
property, and the ferry has continued to land
on private property ever since, paying at the
present time high rent for the same, which
tax is imposed on the public in the form of a
high toll. These old ferry ways continued to
be used as public landing or craving way
when in 1925 the question of selling or leasing
the same was before the town and referred to
a committee who reported that parties had
encroached on the fats, and recommended TO
the town to lease the same And in 184S
another committee reported that lease
was given to the Marine Railway Com
pany in 1926 to use these flats, who
paid rent for them down to 1888. Upon this
they stopped payment, and the Committee
close their report by recommending the sale of
the old Ferry ways or flats. And as late as
1857 it was referred to the judiciary committee
who reported that they were unable tie agree on
any plan to sell the same; and from that time
to The present, no action has been taken to dis.
pose of the old ferry ways. In view of all
these facts, should not this old land be reopened
again for ferry purposes and fer the public con-
venience? Cape Elizabeth at recent town
meeting unanimously authorized the seeetmen
to petition the Legislature to cause the reopen
ing of this ancient larding which petition is
now before the Legislature for its considera-
tion. CAPE ELIZABETH.

Business Notes.

Capt. A. Rich, Jr., of Gardiner. has con-
traced for all his ice, at satisfactory prices. He
will Immediately commence filling his houses.
The Knickerbockers are filling their houses in
Farmingdae, Chelsea and at Shutdown. Bar
ker is also filling his houses. AT Richmond
the w. & G. Russels, Underwood and Sagada-
hoe houses are being filled.
The ice in Patterns Bay is dotted with the
little camps of fishermen. Tons of smelts
have been caught and shipped away. They
bring from three TO eight cents pound. The
fishermen make good wages at three cents.
The paper mills on the east side of the river
at Belfast have shut down for time.
A. X. P Lord, lumberman at Moderation
village, seems to be quite busy at his mills.
His mills are located so far out in the stream
that they have not yet been affected to any
great extent by low water. Some saw mills be-
low are so far upon the banks of the river that
they are easily affected in seasons of long con-
tinued drought.
