case, where the fire spread to second house, some
distance away, general cODhagration seemed al
most unavoidable. and was only prevented by the
efforts of the entire fire department. The police are

were set by members of an organized band, whose

An Invitation to Wis it Portland.

The various Irish organizations of Portland
have taken measures to bring Charles 8. Par

Irish American Relief Association have ap-
pointed on that committee James Cunning

If the two distinguished men come to Port

The Auguste Proceedings.

Yesterday the city was all agog waiting for
news from the Legislature at Augusta. When
the first dispatch was recorded on the boards Of
the Merchants Exchange announcing that all
the members of the House had taken their
seats, except Messrs. Snow and Voter, there
was great astonishment, and, later in the day,
when the statement was recorded that Mr..
Eugene Hale was the only Republican who
had qualified, confusion was worse confounded.
All kinds or wild rumors flew about. One was
to the effect that number of United States
officers were present in Augusta, who had been
disguised and that they had thrown off their
disguise and arrested Gov. Garcelon and
Council for high treason. There was another
that the Republicans had driven the opposi-
tion from the Legislative chambers and taken
possession. Still another that a dual Legisla-
ture had been formed, two governors elected,
and the President appealed to to decide which
was the legal one. Nobody could give an
opinion as to what they thought of the stua-
tion since nobody knew anything about it.
All day long men hung in knots about the
newspaper offices and Merchants Exchange,
but little satisfaction was derived.
