Whereas. At the recent election, the citizens of
Portland, in the exercise of their constitutional
rights, and in the discharge of solemn and respon-
sibe duty united with the people of the State the
selection of Stale and County officers, and chose
five Representatives to represent them in the Legs-
lature, to whose char,o they entrusted important
and material Interests. And,
Whereas, The Governor and Council of this State,
betraying the trust confided to them and usurping
Tor revolutionary purposes powers for which there
is no warrant of law, and which properly belong
other and Independent departments of the govern
ment have attempted TO defeat and reverse the will
of the people expressed at the polls and to de-
spoil citizens of the right of full representation
in the Legislature thereby deprving them of their
just share i'll the enactment of laws which may i'm
pose serious burdens and sensby affect the future
growth and prosperity of our city, Therefore
Resotoed That we deplore and denounce the un-
warranted and corrupt action of the Governor and
Council and their political advisers conspiracy
to forward the selfish schemes of few reckless poll
tcans at the expense of honesty and fair dealing as
an outrage upon the people whose confidence and
trust they have violated, and of whom they have
proved themselves the unworthy servants, as sub
versiYe of representative government as revolution
airy in its tendencies and insult to our citizens
whose rights have been recklessly disregarded and
tramped under foot without any justification what
ever.
Resoleed, That this act by which the popular will
IS defeated and the largest towns and cities in the
State DISTINGUISHED is the sure manifestation of
that decline of public virtue and fidelity in high
official station, which, if unchecked will prove the
sure precursor of the destruction of republican
institutions that hitherto the history of the State
has been unsulled by any great executive wrong,
and that it is the duty of every good citizen to join
in condemning policy which seeks to obtain by
craft and cunning, and under specious and unbound
ed appeals to the techaicalities and mere forms of
law, political results which could not be reached
openly and honorably at the polls.
Resolred, That we believe that honest men OF all
parties will unite to defeat this great wrong and we
express the hope that no one of our citizens will be
found who will accept the emoluments and the at
tending dishonor of Office to which he has not
been elected by the people.

United Engine House.

The new suspended harness for the
United engine horses was placed IN DO
sition, yesterday, and worked like q
charm. For the first time since they
have been in the service, the horses
slept last night, UNNAMED and UNI
Shackled," and apparently enjoyed It.
They were trained to get into the har-
ness when the gong sounded, and go
through the maneuver as if they had
done it every day for the last ten years.
After a weeks practice they will be
second to none in the department.

show what it can do is to start a small
fire and pull the alarm.

LABOR STRIKES.
Coal Diggers ana Cigar Makers.

The coal miners met last night at
Parker Hall, pursuant to the adjourn
ment on Saturday night, to consider the
situation at this stage of the game and
take such steps as might be necessary.
Owing to lack of time full report from
all the mines was not taken, n few scat
tering reports from those still out being
heard The situation remains
unchanged since last reports.
Kimberly has few men
working and still refuses to pay the adj
vance. 4 committee was appointed to
wait on his men and induce them to stay
out. Most of the mines are paying the
advance and branding their cars and al
the higher rates, their men can afford to
contribute to the support OF the men
still out and keep them so to the bitter
end. 4 great deal of talk, OF this ma
ture, was INDUCED in, and after report
from the Executive Committee, and q
few disbursements to the needy, the
meeting adjourned.
The Cigar Makers Union held an
other meeting last night, at the Guards
Hook and Ladder House, on Twenty
first street The proceedings were Sc
cret, but it leaked out that they decided
to strike for an advance. The under
standing we have OF it is that they are
now getting = per thousand for stogieS,
and want $3.50. Nothing further has
developed, but something may be eX'
peCted soon.

ADJUSTMENTS.
nrEFALn ELL COMBINATION.


OF the above combination, which will
appear on Saturday afternoon and
evening at the Opera House, the Cleve-
land Herald speaks most tlatteringly. 1t
compliments the chief actor and his sup
port in the warmest terms OF praise, and
OF the play says:
The play is a melodrama written and
dramatizcd expressly for Mr.. Cody by
Colonel Prentiss Ingraham. 1t pos
sesses considerable merit and aboundS
with numerous comical and pathetic
scenes. The field OF action Is laid on the
plans of the lar west, with the excep-
ton of the second act, which lies in
Chicago. and introduces the heroine,
Rose Melton" wnOm Buffalo BIZ
had met and saved from death some
time previous, but in doing so had
lost his heart and fallen in love
with the fair Rose the feeling
being reciprocal on her part. Com
plications arise through the action Of the
outlaw "Ralf RoystOn,' who is ever
seeking TO take the life OF the brave and
noble scout on whose death his safety
and fortunes depend, but happy Gull
mination is reached in the final act in
the overthrow of the outlaw and the
triumphant vindiCation of honesty and
Justice. with the union of the two low
ing hearts. The scenery used IN the
production OF the play was made exclu-
sivelv for use in its presentation. That
used as the background in the first act
is so arranged as at its close TO wildly
and strikingly represent prai-
RE on fire, with a herd of mad
dened bufialoes rushing Wild
" before it direct upon the
Indian camp at which the scout is held
prisoner, bound hand and foot. In the
last act the representation OF the stage
coach stopped by a gang of robber out
laws is verv lifeike, and adds much to
the effect OF the scene. 1t can truly be
said that since his last appearance IN
this city Buffalo Bill has greatly I'M
proved in his character Of an actor,
and where heis called upon to act thrill
ing scene Of border life his interpreta-
ton of the part is so real and true as to
call forth a marked acknowledgements OF
his talent. His ieats with the rifle are
truly wonderful, but must be seen TO
be appreciated, as it is impossible to
draw pen picture OF the situations
under which he sends ball true 10 its
aim.

FARRAR-CALDWELL.
Another Wedding and Another
Wheeling Lady the Less.

For the past two weeks fashionable
society has been on the gu rice over the
approach OF the nuptials OF Miss Birdie
Caldwell, OF this city, and Mr.. Frank
W. Farran, OF Bradford, Pennsylvania.
The lady in question has an exceedingly
large circle Of acquaintances, each OF
whom was anxious to see her in the
hour said to be the "supremest OF
life" Accordingly the First Presbyterian
church was filled, yesterday afternoon,
by as large an audience as belle could
desire. The ushers, Messrs. George
Baird and Chas. W. FranZheim, skilliul
as they were, could scarcely find avalla-
BILE seats for the multitude, which
crowded the gallery and thronged the
church vestibule.
Mrs. Sam Ridgely presided at the or
gan, and under her delft fingers
the Lohengrin Wedding March grew
and sweled as the opening OF
the door gave entrance to the
bridal party. First came the ushers,
who took position on the right, followed
by Mrs. George B. Caldwell, sister OF
the bride, escorted by DIR. George Baird.
Then came the bride and groom, who
took their stand in front OF DR.. Cum
ningham, by whom the rite was cele.
brated.
The ceremony was rather eXtempor-
aneous, and therefore more interesting
and impreSsive; and that graceful
symbol and always interesting adjunct
to a wedding, ring, was used. The
principals were entirely composed dur
ing the ceremony, the bride uttering
her Il do in Il modest tone and the
groom with an apparent gusto that spoke
volumes. and caused a slight smile. Al
ter iervent prayer by DR.. Cunning
ham he pronounced them man and wife,
and they lett the church to the iubilant
strains OF the favorite Mendelssohn
! March.
In the basement OF the church the
party stayed long enough to receive the
congratulations of relatives and intimate
friends, and to allow glance
at the brides handsome cos
/ tune. 1t was short travelling
dress OF bronze brocade, with bonnet
and gloves to match, all fitting admira-
! bly,, and the second named framing a
smiling face that not even adieuX could
quench.
They took the afternoon train on the
Pan Handle, for Bradford, where they
will make their future home. The
groom, Mr.. Frank w. Farrar, is manag-
ing editor OF the ErrHjng Star, the anti
oil-monopoly paper of Bradford. Mr..
/ Farrar made a number of friends during
his short stay here, and and these, with
the innumerable ones of his wife, unite
in wishing for them an unclouded fu-
/ turc.

The Ring Case.

Yesterday morning the case OF state
". Lizzie Fader. charged with stealing a
ring from Isaac Deeds, OF Coon Island,
came up before Justice W. W. Miller.
The iacts in the case are these: 1t was
partially heard on Tuesday night and
continued until yesterday, the defend
ant giving bond. At that time Deeds
swure that Lizzie took the ring from his
finger, while he lay on lounge
at her mothers house. Afterwards
il was ascertained that Deeds
had pawned ring ut the
Bellevue Garden for SLIGO and this is be-
Iieyed 10 be the identical ring Deeds
claimed Lizzie stole. When the case
was called, yesterday, Deeds was too
drunk to testify and was locked up in
Jail to recover. The case was continued
generally.

WHEELING WINS.
Barrett the Victor i'm the Rae

BdfEetb tic tlCtOT III luC IhdNS'
About the time people had considered
the boat race off between Barrett and
Siebert, the news comes down that II
has been pulled and that Barrett is the
victor. So many delays and postpone
ments occurred and the season was so
far advanced, that it would not have
been surprising il the race had fallen
through. Nor is the result surprising.
1t was the general opinion, here, that
Barrett was the better man and could
win il he saw fit to do so, an opinion
verified by the result. THERE'S so much
apparent "scull duggery' about races
now, that but little money was staked on
this one, Barrett being the favOrite here,
and Siebert at Pittsburgh. The follow
ing account of the contest, taken from
the Pos, tells the tale:
After many veXatiOus pOstpOnements,
the boat race between Siebert, OF the
South Side, and Barrett, OF Wheeling,
took place at four o'clock yesterday al
ternOOn. The many postponements had
the effect of diminishing the crowd in
attendance, but, Notwithstanding this,
quite a number of sporting men were
found on the ground. When Mr.. Wal
ter Beaumont, the referee, gave the word
60" both men started in with will.
Siebert quickly dashed ahead, and put
quite distance between himself and
his competitor. Barrett soon afterwards
Rugged him closely, and at Jones q
Laughlin's mill, about a mile above the
starting point, he had him overtaken.
When the buoy boat was reached, the
Wheeling man was fully three lengths
ahead OF the South Slder On the home
stretch Siebert made desperate eXertions
to oyertake his competitor, but never
theless the distance between the two
gradually increased, and Barrett passed
the line fully four lengths ahead. The
water was very rough, and cold north
west wind served to impede the pro-
gress OF both men. Barretts time was
| 24:40
The Wheelingites OF course feel proud
of their man. A small amout OF money
changed hands on the result.

affairs given by this church are social

pleasant evening was spent by all. \
