The MISSING Man

The body of the man who was found dead in
his stateroom on the Bottom steamer Forest
City, has been identified and it is now ascer-
to be Mr.. John G. Buswell of Troy, N. Y
He was large, square-built man with thin
light brown mustache and beard. and indica-
tions showed he was man not given to much
manual labor but appeared like business
man. 1t turns out that he was lumber mer-
chant at Troy. He had been unwell for some
little while and left Troy some weeks since
and went to Groton Mass, to visit his sister.
He left the house Tuesday morning and
he was going to the post Office to post letter
and not returning as soon as it was thought he
ought, his sister requested Mr.. B. Caryl. a
friend, to ascertain his whereabouts. Mr.. c..
telegraphed Mrs. Boswell at Troy to find out
if, he had returned home and received answer

description of the man and the clothing and
articles in his possession. Mr.. G then tele-
graphed he would arrive here Thursday even
ing, and did so. Upon examination he felt
satisfied that the party was the one in whom
he was in search and at once telegraphed Mrs.
Boswell to come Immediately and she arrived
here yesterday at 5 p. m. and confirmed the
Identification. The body has remained at the
rooms of Undertaken Rich under charge OF
Coroner S. D. Hall. Dr. G. o. Files was
called and he pronounced the case one of apo
plexy, and under these circumstances Mr.
Hall deemed an inquest unnecessary The

On last Monday afternoon as little 10 year
old son of Mr.. Esty attempted to jump upon a
moving four-horse team, he missed his footing
and fell and caught between the cart body and
the wheel and was carried along in this man.
ner some distance. The team was stopped and
he was extricated from his perilous position
and found to be very badly bruised and
iammed, the flesh being torn from one leg SC
as to expose the bone, although no bones
were broken. He was carried to his home and
physicians called. The serious nature of the
injury produced commissions and complete ner

died Thursday morning.
Mrs Borup, at Cumberland Mills, unad

Portland Water Works.

| The cutting down and rebuilding the central
| section of the brick conduit at Lake Sebago,
including the tunnels, was completed last
week and water was let through the Tunnel
into the conduit. The sixty horse power en-
CINE and boiler used in pumping 100000 gal
Ions of water for Portland's supply, are resting
from their labors, and the large pump used has
been shipped to Cambridge, it having been
sold to that city to be used in a similar posi-
ton there made necessary by the low water in
their ponds.
1t was hoped that on completion of thio
work no further pumping would be required,
but owing to very low water in the lake the
company are still pumping into the conduit at
the lake with their second engine, which was
started up on the 18th Of September, and must
run some time longer unless heavy rains oc-
cur to raise the lake.
A new gate-house 26x33 feet, with tower Tx
II feet, all of brick, is just completed. Extend
ing from the tower 200 feet into the lake, is
new Independent conduit AKA feet. In order
TO make this xtension Golfer dam had to be
constructed the entire distance, and last We'd
nesday morning the closure was made shutting
out the lake. The pumps were started and
the water pumped out, and in less than 36
hours the whole work was completed the gates
and screen frames are being attached tip the
brick work inside the tower, and one week
more will close up all operations for this sea-
son.
The work done consists of sinking the grade
of the conduit from % to feet lower than the
old work, distance of 1900 feet, 700 feet being
in tunnel, all in solid rock, the cut being from
26 to 50 feet below the surface of the ground.
1t has taken to do the job the combined eff
forts of one hundred men four months, also
five steam engines, a large air compressor for
blasting the tunnel, three steam drills. and
four water pumps.
The work done has been thorough and of
a permanent character, but owing to several
causes the amount of work done has been near
ly twice what it was contemplated at the be-
ginning of the season, and consequently the
cost has doubled the first estimates.
The management of the Water Co. are enti-
tied to great credit for their efforts to perfect
our water supply They have not only ex-
pended a large sum at the lake, but have en-
ployed in addition some 40 men in Portland
and vicinity in laying new pipes and repairs of
the old mains.

committee speaks in the highest terms of
praise of the services in the campaign which
has just closed of VIM I'll. Looney, the Young
Irish-American of Portland, Me-, who had
many engagements in the list of campaign or
ators. Mr.. Looney not only proved himself an
able and effective speaker but when off the

He has happy way of making pleasant and
valuable acquaintance, and in many places
to which he was assigned he did excellent
work in cheering up respondent Republicans

to come and visit u.s.

While the men at the Grand Trunk elevator
were unloading car of wheat Thursday
night one of them ran his shovel against a
man who was nearly buried in the grain at
the end of the car. He was pulled out and
asked how he came there. He said that he
got on board in Canada and had been without
water since, but had lived on the wheat. He
wanted some one to kill him. as he was utterly
tired of life. He attempted to throw herself
over the side of the wharf into the water, but
was prevented. After some persuasion he was
prevailed upon to live and was last seen going
up India street.
