The excursion last Friday was planned by
the Portland Water Co. and not the Presump-
scot Water Power Co. who were guests of the
us with the substance OF the remarks made on
the return of the party, showing that the city
authorities fully appreciate the efforts now be-
ing made for an increased supply of water for
our city. Mayor Butler said
Gentlemen in safety at the end of
our delightful trip. it seems proper before we
separate to express in some formal manner our
Acknowledgements to the Portland Water Com
pany for the thoughtful courtesy which arrang-
ed this excursion and has made it so enjoyable
throughout.
1t would be mistake, however, to conclude
that its purpose was merely to safford us day
of pleasant recreation. 1t was designed princl-
pally, II mistake not, to give US, especially
those of US who happen for the time being to
be connected with the city government, an op-
portunity to become better acquainted with the
objects and aims OF the company and the way
and manner it is engaged in carrying them
out, one object being to increase the supply OF
pure water to Portland by means of new in
dependent main, and the other in connection
with the Presumpscot Water Power Company
to bring under control the waters of Sebago
Lake and improve the manufacturing power of
the Presumpscot River, both objects in which
Portland is deeply interested. The managers
OF the Water Company ask no pecuniary aid of
the city. 1t is fully understood that the city
has no such aid to give. The capital employed
is their own, the risk and responsibility they
take upon their own shoulders, and in due time
they ought to have, and think they will have
fair return for the money expended, but
they do ask and are entitled to receive the IA
vor, the good will land the appreciation of our
citizens in their efforts to accomplish these ex-
peusve undertakings. which, while entered in
tn in the hone and exnactatiOn of nr0fitahla in
vestment. at the same time have been prompt
ed by public spirit and the desire for the COM
mon good.
The observations made aud the information
to the better understanding of the relations be-
tween our municipality and the Water com.
pany, and to the formation of that harmony
which should always exist between them.

Coroner Gould having empanneled jury
in the case of Sally Morrsey, who was arrested
Saturday on the charge OF having murdered her
illigitimate child, an inquest was held yester-
day at the County Attorneys room in the City
Bulldog. The Inquest commenced at nine
o'clock in the morning and was conducted by
County Attorney Libby. A very thorough ex-
animation of the case was had-the witnesses
being Drs Small and Weeks, City Marshal
Bridges, Deputy Marshal Crowell and Officer
Hanson.
At half-past four o'clock in the afternoon the
verdict was rendered, the result of which will
be seen from the following:
The jury returned a verdict that deceased
child came to its death by injuries inflicted by
its mother, Sally Morrisey, with in tent to kill
and murder.
She has been committed to jail to await the
action of the grand jury in her case at the sit.
ting next January. She evidently takes the
situation very unconcernedly. The child will
be buried by the Coroner at the Forest City
Cemetery today. She has had two others Of

Mr. Editor-In the PRESS of this morning
find the following news item:
The arrangements for carrying freight
formed last summer between the Boston roads
and the steamer company has been broken,
owing to the cheap rates made by the Roches-
ter road, and now each company will be indie
pendent and shippers will get the benefit of
cheap freights.
AS this might possibly mislead some of our
business men by giving the impression that our
company had been a party to a combination to
maintain excessive rates, beg to inform them
that no such agreement has ever been made by
us, though we have been solicited to do SO; and
that it is not our intention to propose or to &C.
cept any such offers, but that it shall be our
aim to make as low rates as are offered by any
line and to do our best to accommodate oul
patrons. j. M. LUNT,
