Alleged OUTRAGE

The Item published a long story Friday night
accusing the Overseers of the Poor of neglect
by which twin children born to woman in
Greedy Hospital died, and further accusing
Mr.. Baker, the Secretary of the Overseers, of
binding little son of the same woman, out
side the State in violation of the Statutes. In
vestigaton failed to find Mr.. Baker at a late
hour Friday night but Saturday Mr. Baker
denied the accusation in the Advertiser. He
states the mother, when in the hospital left
the disposition of the boy above referred to,
and two girls to him. The girls were sent to
the Female Orphan Asylum. The boy was
not bound out of the State, but temporarily
sent to the Home for Little Wanderers, Bos-
ton. When a home is procured for him in this
State he will be bound out. 1t is denied the
woman was neglected at the hospital. Ply
sicians say the worry and excitement attend
ant upon the trial and conviction of the wo-
mans husband for crime would sufficiently
account for the illness and death of the twins
after birth

PINAFoRE.
The Ideal Opera Company gave Pinafore at
City Hall Saturday afternoon to a large and
fashionable audience, composed mainly of
ladies. 1t was on that account-that the
audience was, for the most part, feminine
probably that encores were few, the Fond
Love, FAREWELL being the only number whose
repetition was demanded. The opera was of
course splendidly given and we hope to see the
company again in Portland at an early date.
The Ideals intend to keep up their organiza-
ton and present all the musical novelties as
fast as they appear.
NOTES.
The knights of Pythias will give grand
entertainment at Portland Theater Dec. II.

The Mapleson italian Opera season in Boston
will begin Dec. Doth. Mile. Marimon at her
debut in New York, Wednesday evening,
reused a cold and critical audience to wild
enthusiasm Her final call before the curtain
at the conclusion of the opera, was the scene
of such demonstration as is rarely witnessed
in an American opera house. The audience
rose en- masse, and, as bravas and shouts filled
the air, the ladies in the boxes threw hand
bouquets, breast knots, boutonnaires and loose
flowers upon the stage, as tributes to this
artist. Her voice is as pure as the tone OF
bell and of fiute-like quality, her enunciation
is charmingly distinct, and her numbers were
rendered with a grace and beauty of interpre-
tation which made her debut an occasion to be
the memory of a lifetime. She has the
indeinable charm an actress which seems
attainable only by French woman (she is a
Partisan by birth and long resdence), and her
personal presence fully supplements her eX-
the vacancy caused by the absence of Nine.
Gerster from the company, and her physique
indicates an ability to easily sustain the ardu-
GUS duties of prima donna in this country.

THE ARCOLA.
Capt. Mcfarland Deserts His Vessel.

The schooner Arcola of Bath, has been en-
gagged shipping brick from Portsmouth to- Bos-
ton under command of Capt. Mcfarland OF
Freeport Last week the Arcola loaded in
Boston with wire rigging for ship building
firm in New Brunswick, and was to take a re-
turn cargo, the price for the round trip being
agreed upon at $500. After she took in her,
freight the captain run for Boothbay harbor
and anchored in the roads, arriving there
about ten days ago. On arrival he took the
dory and started ashore, since which time
neither captain nor boat has been seen. He
had a crew of two men, and after waiting for
his return day or two they reported the mat
ter, and the owners at Bath were notified.
They instituted inquiries, put Capt. Q. o.
Hodgkins of Boothbay in charge, and he
bIought the vessel to this port to discharge and
forwarded her cargo by the international line
to its destination Saturday.
When Capt. Mcfarland left the vessel it is
stated by the crew that Capt. Mcfarland took
with him the account book of the vessel, be-
tween $500 and $500 freight money received
for transporting brick, and had drawn on the
owners while in Boston for $50 cash, making
the whole deficiency about $500. The owners
are at loss to account for Capt. Netherlands
proceedings, for he has always borne a fine
reputation.

A contract was signed, Saturday afternoon
between the American Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Eastern Railroad corporation,
whereby the former company has been granted
the privilege of building its telegraph lines
along the whole of the Eastern Railroad and
branches operated by that company. The
telegraph company Will commence distribut-
ing poles along the line between Boston and
Portland this morning, and will put on large
force of men at these different points, to set as
many as possible before the ground is closed
up by frost The railroad company grants
this privilege, for the reason that the telegraph
company propose having two independent
wires to each place.on the route, one of which
is to be used by the railroad, the other for the
exclusive use of the telegraph company for its
patrons. This will, probably, affect the West
ern Union on this line, as the new company
will put wires in all the railroad offices along
the entire route.
