The Portland daily press., 1879-12-25

Mr. Charles Rogers, well known retired
merchant of this city, died at his residence on
State street at a. m. yesterday, after long
illness.
Mr.. Rogers was Portland boy, the son OF
one of our old Portlanders. After receiving
good education he became clerk with Joseph
Harrod in his dry goods store on the corner OF
Exchange and Middle streets. Afterwards he
started in business for himself, and later took
into partnership Rev. Samuel Cutter, now an
Episcopal clergyman. He afterwards went
into the wholesale grocery business with
William Moulton on Moulton street. He
retired from active business many years ago.
He has been a member of both branches OF
the City Government. He leaves widow
his second wife-and a son by his first wife.

This fine new steamer OF the "Beaver Line,
Messrs. Thompson, Murray q Co., agents, is
now on her way out to Portland Her COM
mander is Capt Benson. From the builders
specifications, of the well known builders on
the Clyde, Messrs James & George Thurston,
who built the ''Cunard steamers" we learn
that the Lake Winnipeg is three-masted
schooner-rigged iron steamer, with three decks.
Her gross tonnage is 1929 tons and her net
registered tonnage IS 2156 tons Her iength
from stem to stern is 355 feet, and her main
breadth 40 feet. The depth OF hold, from
tonnage deck to ceiling, at midships, IS a feet,
and depth Of hold from upper deck to celilng'
at midships, 81 feet. She is a screw steamer
and is worked by two engines of an estimated
power of 400 horses. She has superior accom-
mediation for cabin passengers, and is fitted up
to carry cattle. Her first voyage from Mon
treal she carried 403 oxen and 400 sheep.

Weather bitterly cold on Sunday, 50 below
zero, and there was rather slim attendance
at church in consequence.
The I. o. G.. I. have moved into q new loca-
ton, which will prove benefit to the lodge.
Mr. E. M. Mills is w. G. T. The lodge num-
bers over 100 members and will doubtless make
additions to their number during the winter.
Messrs. Webster, Wharf & Dyer of the
Granite Hotel, are putting up two buildings
60x40 for the storage of ice. They will pur-
chase steam engine for lifting purposes, and
will do all in their power to make this under
taking successful one.
A government steamer has been here for sew
eral days engaged in putting spindle buoy on
a ledge near the entrance to the creek. This
will be found beneficial to those who go down
to the sea in ships from this locality.
Mr.. w. Vinal has purchased the stock and
fixtures of Mr.. George Roberts who has lately
kept restaurant here. Mr.. Vinal is very
popular in this section and will doubtless be
successfulsin his new vocation.
The Union church are experimenting with
several ministers with a view to engaging one
permanently. 1t is a difficult matter to say at
present who has the inside track.
Last Saturday evening while a number OF
persons were in the post Office waiting for theil
mail matter an alteration took place between
Mr. w 0. Holmes, the head book-keeper Of
the Bodwell Granite Co., and Mr.. L. M. Smith
the Representatives, from this class on the
fusion ticket. Mr.. Holmes was saying that the
Governor and Council had not thrown out a
single fusionist, when Smith contradicted him
by saving there were two thrown out. This was
denied by Holmes, when without the least pro
vocation Smith caught him by the collar
and was about to shakeshim but was prevented
by by-slander interfering. The matter will
probably be brought before trial Justice. 1t
is rather an unenviable position for one of
our law makers to be found breaking the laws
on the eve of taking his seat. Box SoIR.

Fraternity Dances.

The third dance in this course will take
place at City Hall on New Years eve, when
no doubt the dancing public will be anxious to
see the hall full of dancer and all go for
good time. AS the Fraternity are noted fof
having fine music for dancing which is one
the great attractions of the ball room, no
doubt great many of our people will attend
these dances for the purpose OF hearing the
music, but on New Years eve there will be ex-
ira music. A grand concert will be given
from to 8 o'clock by Chandler's full brass
band of twenty-five musicians, which alone
ought to fill City Hall. The price of admission
will be but S1.00, admitting gentlemen and
ladies. Tickets can be obtained Of the COM
mittee and at the door.

Fire on Exchange Street.

The alarm from box % last night at $50
o'clock, was caused by fire in the furniture
warehouse of Enoch Lord on Exchange street,
opposite the PRESS Office. Mr.. Lord says he
ordered the boy he employs to be careful with
the lamp he carried when he left the finishing
room, which is located in the third story. The
boy, apparently, had accidently set fire to
something when he left the room and was SO
frightened he ran down stairs crying out the
world is on fire. and then ran for his home at
the Cape without stopping for his hat or coat.
The roof and upper part Of tho building MAS
badly burned. and the rest of the building and
stock badly injured by water. Mr.. Lord owned
the building three-storied wooden structure,
and valuable stock. The building. was valued
at $4,000 and the stock at $4,000. There was
$500 insurance on the building and $500 on
the stock Mr.. Charles Sparrow had $500 on
the building in the ST. Nicholas, and Mr.. War

MORE FRAUD.
How the Governor and Council Counted
the Lincoln County Vote.

Mr.. ED1ToR:-I wish to give you a state
ment of facts in regard to oar September cleo
ton, and inasmuch as the Governor and his
Council are mum, and they make no answer
to plain TRUTH we will make the following
statement which we can substantiate, and you
may give it to the people if you wish to: AS
you may know we are classed with Damaris-
Gotta, and the Isle of Monhegan The Demo
Gratis and Greenbackers united to man and
elected fairly John B. Rafter for Representa-
tive to the Legislature, he being an inhabitant
Of Damariscotta--that town went Republican,
and our town Democratic and Greenback. So
far all right. No win regard to our Senator for
Lincoln county. We elected him by the aid
of Bristol by large majority over Isaac I.
Hobson Every vote cast for him was correctly
printed, but the town clerk, in his returns
sent the Secretary of State, gave the name of
Andrew Il. j. Smith instead of Andrew Il. G.
Smith, and you see that we are disfranchised
as a town. No explanation or correction is
allowed and no answer given.
Well, all this you know; now about what
you don't know: We are town of over
1000 voters, and by the law no name can be
added to the check hist on the day of election
with our number of voters. Nevertheless the
selectmen allowed four Democratic and Green
back voters names to be put on the check list
on the day of election although warned by the
Republicans, that if allowed the election was
null and void; and in addition to these, one
foreigner, who was proved to be only in this
town temporarily at work on a granite quarry
was brought forward by his Democrat brethren
and his name was added to the list on Satur-
day before the town meeting. When the
man (Joe Doyle came up to the polls to vote
his naturalization papers were demanded by
the Republican selectman, (by the way there
was one Republican selectman in the board
and two opposition and he said they were in
Salem, Mass. The Republican selectman then
told him he could not vote there. But, on the
promise that he would get his papers and
deliver them to the Selectmen in one week,
he was allowed to vote by the two other mem
GERS of the board, with his papers in Salem
Mass, if he had any. This conduct was
strongly objected to by the Republicans and
they threatened to break up the election if
allowed. Nevertheless he voted, and the pro-
together with those that were added to the
check list election day.
Now if these great stickless for the letter of
the law were honest, why did they not heave
out the entire vote of the town? Suppose they
had the result would have been just this: New
castle gave Republican majority, and of
course the Republican candidate for Repre-
sentative, Alexander Yates, Esq, would have
been declared elected and his certificate sent
to him instead of John B. Rafter But you
see that don't work but one way. For the
substantiation of these facts l refer you to
