CHURCH IMPROVEMENTS The improve
ments in the India street church. of which no
tice has already been made, are now about COM
pleted and the church will be reopened next
sabbath. The whole interior of the church has
been handsomely frescoed by Mr.. G. W. Bart
lett and the result is very satisfactory to all
VINO have seen it. The style is blending of
1otnic and Greek. and the colors used are
Diack' yellow, drab, pale green and a somber
req. The effect is very pleasing. In the rear
OF the pnlpit there is an imitation of stuco
work which looks as though the recess was
thrown back several feet. The painting is so
wen done that the delusion is perfect. The
tablets on either side of the recess are to be
inscribed with short passages of scripture. The
pulpit IS to be furnished with new furniture,
which is now ready for use. Mr. Kilborn will
today spread new carpet of brown and drab,
which matches nicely with the frescojng, AT
the right hand on entering the church. stairs
will be constructed leading to the gallery and
another flight leading to the rear of the vestry
The outside doors have been reprinted and tn,
steps are imitation of stone. and new roo
has been put on.
The church will be thrown open for the in

Confusion of Names

Mr.. EDITOR is just possible that some
of your readers can tell why the railroad al
thorities have given the station at Deering,
otherwise known as Morrill's Corner, and yet
again as Stevens Plains. another alias, viz:
Westbrook. [ say it is possible that they can
but it is highly probable that they can't.
The reasons why the station should not be
called Westbrook are pretty plain, however. In
the first place. it is not Westbrook any more
than it is Gorham or Falmouth or Windham.
This objection may be thought of little conse-
quence, yet in behalf of truth, and in the inter-
est of the soul of the young man who daily
shots "Westbrook" at the car door, even this
might be allowed a little weight. But secondly
there is a Westbrook, and Westbrook genuine,
and Westbrook pseudonymons, are always be-
ing mistaken for each other, andlno wonder!
The man who knows that his friend lives with
in stones throw of Westbrook station, natuI-
ally supposes that letter directed to West
brook will reach him; but of course it is sent to
Saccarappa, the principal village in Westbrook.
Again gentleman reads in the PRESS that
Mr.. so and SO from Westbrook (no ADVERTISE
ment intended) had some fine cattle at the late
fair. He starts to see them, stops at "West-
Dro0k only to learn after much inquiry that
the objects of his search are peacefully grazing
four miles away.
1t is safe to say that hardly week passes
that some one does not suffer from the compli-
cations of the matter. 1 do not suppose that
the people of Deering care to retain name that
does not belong to them, nor is it probable that
Westbrook people like to have their town rob.
bed of its identity. The arrangement is GER
tainly of no advantage to travellers or to cores
pondents. Who, then, is benefited by it? As
/ said in the first place, perhaps some one can
tell

THE ELECTION.
A Quiet Day and a Small Vote in Port
land.

Yesterday was a fine day to get out large
vote at the state election, but not large mum.
Der improved the opportunity in this vicinity,
as Will be seen by the tabular statements else
where. The polling places in this city were
unusually quiet and but little interest was man
ltested in the result on either side, although
some 800 more votes were thrown by the Re-
pubIcans than were thrown by them four
years ago. Then the Republicans threw 1870
and the Democrats $780, There is some encour-
agement in knowing that the party has been
more backward in previous years in coming
cut. About the only men who were real busy
yesterday were Messrs. Todd and Turner of the
Greenback party, end the result of their labors
was 80 votes. But few teams were employed
to carry voters to the polls and hosts of those
sent for refused to leave their business. In
ward seven there were upwards of fifty Repub-
licans out Of town, fact which should be to-
ken into account in footing up the results.
There were quite number of split tickets dis
tributed, but very few of them were thrown.
The Greenback ticket contained the names of
the Democratic Representatives. so they had
made no nominations for those Offices.
Gcv. Conner has 20 plurality in the city, In
the Representative ticket the Democrats have
probably elected Richardson, Dana and Pierce,
while the Republicans elect Mclaughlin and
Winslow
The proposed amendment in relation to cleo
tors was lost, while the amendment relating to
municipal indebtedness will probably be adopt
ed.
In Ward 4, for the election of Councilman,
Joseph f. Libby had 254 votes. and Dennis
Tobin 1862, and is elected.

New Gas Manufacture,

The National Petroleum Gas Company Of
Boston has just completed new gas machine
for the manufacture of gas for the Preble
House. This is an entirely new machine, the
invention OF Mr.. John Hanlon, who is also the
builder. This machine generates the gas from
pure crude petroleum instead OF from coal and
is able to get much stronger article. From
Six gallons of oil 1000 feet of twenty-eight can
Ole power OF gas is obtained. As the oil sells
for about seven cents the cost of 1000 feet of
the gas is but AZ cents AS distilled with the
retort 1t is about 20 candle power and has to be
diluted before 1t is used. This is done by pump
ing in about SO 1-3 per cent. of air into the gas.
ometer, which holds about 1900 feet of gas.
Ihe best of coal gas only produces from IA to
16candle power.
The gas was turned on last evening and used
TO light the hotel for the first time The arti-
Gle was OF good material and after the air
was got out of the pipes the light was very
brilliant. The hotel uses upwards of 400 burn
ers and the gas bill has been from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year. The Importance Of manufac-
turing for their own use is very apparent.
They will also supply several of their neigh
bors if it is desired The machine is situated
IN building adjoining the engine room and
the engineer will run both. 1t is just as easy
to manufacture thousand feet per day as half
