A. Praiseworthy Act.

Mrs. FL. De W. Shaw, the person who was
burned out at the late fire on Brown street,
has had quite an eventful experience within
the last few years. After u life Of some four
teen years on the water with her husband and
children, she decided to remain on shore the
last voyage. Consequently she rented a house
in st. John, n b., and proposed to locate
there They had only lived in the house a
short time when the great fire took place and
they were turned into the street. losing all their
household goods, upon which there was no in
surance.
In October following her husband set sail
from st. John on his brothers. ship for Aut-
werp on business, intending to return the fol-
lowing April and take command OF his vessel,
then lying at New York. The bro Their was
also accompanied by his wife "a sister to Mrs.
Shaw and child.
Mrs. Shaw then removed to this city where
she had few friends, hoping to obtain
some light work to support herself and little
ones; and our readers know how she has Jared
here. The house had just been put in order
and she was intending to solicit work, when
another fire turns her out of house and home.
This time she lost part of her furniture, and
the greater portion of the rest was drenched
with water.
s.But kind friends came to the rescue. The
unfortunate lady and children were taken at
once into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bean, on
Brown street, who with many other whole
hearted people of Portland) have done every
thing to aid the family in their troubles and
now they are again located at 50 Preble street
where they have a comfortable rent and ap-
pear to be as happy as one could be under such
circumstances. We should here note that Mr..
and Mrs. Bean refuse to take one cent for all
their trouble or for the board Of Mrs Shaw
and children; but, on the contrary, have paid
two months house rent in advance for her, be-
side contributing quite sum Of money and
little articles of use in the house. Mrs. Shaw,
of course, appreciates such friends, and it is a
pleasure to record such acts of charity.

NOT THE MAN.
The Trouble @ Similarity Of Names Will
Cause.

The other day the PRESS mentioned how
man appeared in this city, coming from Plain
field, Conn, in search of his wife, who had
eloped with a boarder and taken with her $500
in cash. The guilty parties had directed box
to this city and so the husband supposed they
might be here. The box was found in the ex-
press office and strict watch ordered so as to
see who came for it.
Friday, q gentleman who represents the
well known lace importing house Of Schwab
& Son, New York city, arrived in town to
show his wares to our dealers, and took rooms
at the Falmouth. He engaged one of the
row-boys to go to the express Office and see if
a box from the firm, containing samples, had
arrived directed to him. The boy returned
with the information that it awaited his orders
at the express office. He went down to pay
the charges and was detained, the Marshal
was telephohed that his bird had flown into
the net, and suddenly two blue-coated officials
appeared and informed the agent that Marshal
Bridges desired an interview with him. The
trio repaired to the station, and our friend was
ushered into the Marshal's Office where he was
charged with running away with another
mans wife. Taking q seat he asked the
Marshal "what the game was, anyway" The
Marshal's orders were produced and the name
of the man who was wanted given, which was
the same as the agents. Our German friend
read the order, took from his pocket a bust
ness card and requested the Marshal to tele-
graph to the address and he would find out
that he was quite another sort of man, and
had never run away with anybody wife. Elk
plantations followed, and an apology, while
the lace merchant took his departure remark
ing as he went that "they do these things very
differently in New York and Boston," A
similarity in names had misled the express
men, and thus endeth the second lesson.
1t is now thought that the box was sent as
| blind as no one has called for it.

THE GREAT THEFT.
An Indignation Meeting to be Held
Tuesday.

At the call of the Republican County Com
| mittee about 125 gentlemen met at Reception
Hall Saturday evening to consider the expe-
| diency of calling an indignation meeting in re-
gard to the counting out of our Representa-
tives. The meeting was called to order by
Fred N. Dow, Esq, and Hon. Israel Wash
burn was chosen chairman and Stephen Berry
Secretary.
Gov Washburn said that if the action of
Gov. Garcelon and his Council is correct and
their Interpretation of the Constitution the
proper one, every other Governor and Council
for sixty years had been wrong.
Mr.. Dow stated that meeting of the Re-
publican State Committee was called to meet
at Augusta, Monday, and suggested that dele
gates from Portland be sent to confer with
them; and it was voted that committee of
five be elected to nominate such delegates.
Charles E. Jose, Benjamin Kingsbury, Jr., III.
w. Richardson, Eben Corey and Charles #.
Libby were appointed as that committee.
While they were out Messrs A. l.. Hobson,
w. w. Thomas, Jr., A. A. Strout and Jacob
Mcclellan were called for and addressed the
meeting.
The committee came in and reported the
names of the following gentlemen as delegates
to consult with the State Committee at Au-
gusta Hon. Israel Washburp, Hon. w. w.
Thomas Hon. Jacob Mcclellan, Gen. Francis
Fessenden Hon. Nathan Webb, Hon. S. e.
Spring Hon. j. III. Drummond, James ?.

and the committee authorized to fill any va
cancies.
On motion of Mr.. Dow it was voted to raise

tee was chosen: Hon. Chas, E. Jose, Hon.
Wilbur T. Lunt, Z. P. Chase, Henry B.
Cleaves, A. A. Strout, Chas. J. Chapman,
VIM T. Small and John M. Stevens.
Messrs. j. A. Locke, Chas. f. Libby, and
James P. Baxter were called for and address
ed the meeting.
The tone of tue speakers was that a great
fraud had been committed in DISTINGUISHING
the city, and thatuit should be met by an ex-
preston of the deep Indignation which every
true citizen feels at dishonesty and outrage,
and full and earnest appeal to all right think
ing people.
AT meeting OF the Committee of Arrange
ments, held after tho adjournment of the
meeting, the following paper was presented for
general circulation, irrespective of party aiiia-
ton:
The undersigned respectfully invite their
fellow citizens of Portland, without regard to
party, to assemble in City Hall, Tuesday even
ing, Dec. 23d, at 7.30 p. M, to give voice to
the indignation felt by all good citizens at the
unprecedented outrage perpetrated in the re-
cent notification of the will of the people, and
the Acknowledgement of this city, by the Gov
ernor and Council.
1t was reported on the street that two of the
prominent opposition candidates who have
been counted in, have expressed their desire
to lend their aid in furtherance of this voico of
dissent from the course Of the Governor and
Council.
