Miss Eliza r. Ingraham.

This lady who died on Saturday at the age
of SS, was of distinguished parentage, 1nherlt-
ing all the virtues and accomplishments OIL
past age 1t is incumbent on some one to see
to it that she does not pass away unnotlced.
Although she has lived many years a retired,
quiet life, cheerful and contented the time
has been when her handsome face and inquire
were conspicuous in the most distinguished
gatherings, when early in the century, Port
land was gay and prosperous town.
Her father, Joseph III. Ingraham, came here
from Old York and learned the trade of sill
ver-smith of John Butler, previous to Mowatt's
sack of the town. He was then in business
and lost $500, yet he was the first to commence
to build after the fire. His first wife was
daughter of Deacon Milk; she died 1884. There
are several donations Of land for public pur-
poses mentioned in the town records, for which
Mr.. Ingraham received a vote of thanks.
Samuel Tate, born in London, was master
OF an English mast ship trading to Casco Bay.
He finally brought his family here, and in
1767 he had daughter Ann born here; her
mother died while she was an infant. The
widow of Capt. Alexander Ross, Scotch lady,
and Capt. Tate's family were neighbors OH
Middle street. On the death of Mrs. Tate,
Madame Ross took the child into her family
and kept her until she was seven years old,
when the revolutionary troubles commenced,
and Capt. Tate being true loyalist took his
little motherless daughter to London. He had
younger brother in the Russian navy, who
finally became an admiral with all the decora-
tons of the Russian orders.
Capt. Tate kept house at Newington,
suburb of the Metropolis, and had for a
neghbor the celebrated DR.. Samuel johnson,
who took great interest in little Ann Tate,
on account of her beauty and loveliness. She
was kept at the best schools and had the adj
vantages of the best society of the vicinity.
The Revolution had passed and the bluff
Capt. Tate had of necessity become reconciled
to the results. In 1887 with his accomplished
daughter of 20 years, he returned to Portland.
At this time Joseph H. Ingraham was a
widower of 30 with one child, and one of the
largest real estate owners of the town. Two
years after he married Miss Ann Tate, and
they became the parents of large family of
sons and daughters, one of whom was the lady
whose name stands at the head of this sketch.
Her girlhood was passed at the fine homestead
now known as the Churchill house on State
street, which was built by her father in 1901,
and under the care of an excellent mother. In
the third year of the ministry of DR.. Payson,
when in her 10Th year, Miss Ingraham became
a communicate of the Second Parish Church,
and for 70 years she was constant Christian
gentlewoman, and at the time of her death
was the Oldest member of that church.

A CHECKERED CAREER.


Our readers will remember that on Decem-
Der 9th, 1879, Cleveland detective visited
Portland and requested the arrest of one Ralph
Landers for embezzlement.f from his employers
johnson & Co. of that city. 1t appeared that
Landers had been engaged as book agent for
that firm, and taken some 5000 that he bad re-
ceived for subscriptions. 1t was also stated
that he had been under trial for feloniously as
saulting little girl. Landers was arrested
here at his residence and handed over to the
officers. He was found concealed in closet.
He was taken back to Cleveland and there,
while in Jail, he kept a journal in cipher. This
journal the book-keeper of johnson & Co. got
hold of and deciphered.
Landers, who is splendid looking man, 81
feet tall and well proportioned, was born in
this vicinity His real name is Rufus Lime
burger In his early years he followed the
sea, and while acting as an officer ON a steam
ship plying between Savannah and New York,
he fell in love with handsome passenger,
Sarah Rogers, and married her in New York.
He deserted her and she is now nurse in the
Middletown Comm lunatic asylum. He then
went to Providence, r. l., and Joined the POI

was promoted to roundsman, but broken for
repeated violation of the rules. He arrested
Weeden, the murderer in that state throwing
himself on the sleeping man in barn and
handcuffingihim ere he could resist. He then
became master of a vessel out of Philadelphia,
sold the cargo and pocketed the proceeds and
is wanted in that city on that charge.
Then Landers came to Portland and married
Mrs. Barstow, whom he calls Nellie. They
went to Cleveland and there his wife made
complaint against him saying that her hus-
band had spent $1,000 of her money, broken
her furniture and turned her out of DOORS
Landers told the police she was crazy and SUBJ
ject to fits. Finally she came back to Port
land. Then it was that Landers became agent
for johnson & Co. ,embezzled and came back to
his wife's house here, where he was arrested

THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
The Preble Chapel Meeting Last Even
ing.

DIR. True presided at the temperance meet
ing at Preble Chapel last evening. Mr.. Towle
was the first speaker. He believed in the bal
lot and in electing temperance men to Office.
He would ask Mr.. Dow what he thought
about voting for lawyers.
Mr.. Dow made no reply.
Mr.. Charles Gusts spoke plainly in regard
to the intemperance of temperance workers in
speaking. Do not denounce man because
he may happen to differ with you. Let him
work his own way for the cause. Be temperate
in all things. He had been denounced in that
room because he had refused to vote for i'm
proper men for office.
Mr.. F. G.. Rich believed that temperance
men must break loose from all the old parties,
and form an organization of their own. He
thanked God that he did not vote for any man
now at Augusta.
Mr.. Nathaniel Walker spoke earnestly of
the necessity of using paper bullets in the
shape of votes (Mr Dow interrupted him and
asked what he meant, and Mr.. Walker ex-
planned that he meant to vote for temperance
men, Mr.. Dow said "O'ah," and Mr.. Walker
proceeded.) We must bring to reason those
who seek political advancement We must
make them ask 'What do temperance men
want?"
Mrs. l.. M. N. Stevens, spoke of the temper
ance text book question, settling the point of
who started the idea. Mrs. Stevens said: "Mr.
President, we women can't express ourselves
at the polls as L trust we shall yet have the
right to do, but there is one phase of the tenn
perance work that appeals to us, and that is
the education of the young. The Woman's
Charitable Temperance Union, the largest or
ganization of women in the city, first moved
in this matter. We sent copies of the work of
DR.. Richardson to each member of the school
committee and accompanied them with petit
ton signed by our officers asking for the adop-
ton of the book as text book in our schools,
and this almost two years ago. More than
that we secured the assistance of Mrs. Mary
Hunt who presented our cause to the board, and
as we listened to her eloquent words we felt
that the nail had been driven, and we were
assured that the book would be considered
with care when the time came to make
change. We are willing, and indeed have
been requested by our officers to say, that our
Union, working as it does quietly, is willing
that 1t be understood that we first agitated this
matter which we feel with you to be of so
much importanc e."
Mr.. Dow, Mr.. Cram and others spoke. Mr..
Dow believed the change in the liquor law to
be far less sweeping than the provisions of the
original law, and expects to see the liquor
traffic driven from the state before he dies

What the Princess Thought Of 1t.

The Princess Louisa, who was in
Chicago twice, during the Convention,
is quoted as saying to reporter of the
Milwaukee Sentinel that she and her
brother were very much entertained
and delighted by it. eve were glad
of an opportunity" she said, 'to see
the primary gathering of gentlemen
who select your ruler | can hardly
describe in a few words the feelings |
experienced To think that right there
in Chicago business was going on as
usual, no undue excitement, and that
in the large building a few men (for
they are but q few of your vast popu-
lation) were having debating society
that was making your ruler. You
know it is so different from what we
have been accustomed to-" exclaimed
the lady, speaking in an interested
and vivacious manner. "My sensa-
tions," she added, "were conflicting,
and | have thought much and will
think long upon what | saw. This
republic is certainly remarkable in
stitution. No man has any right to
the throne or the chair. It is open to
every one. And yet | am told that all
the feeling subsidies and every member
of the party works to elect the nomi-
nee."
