A sensation has lately occurred in Helena,
Montana, In which young lady from Belfast
is one OF the. parties. Miss Mary Riggs has
been for some time corresponding with prin-
ter in Helena, named George r. Bell, who
had been introduced to her, by letter, by
friends at the West. About three months ago
Miss r. went to Helena where she had sister
and there met Bell for the first time. The lat
ter, taking all for granted, commenced prep
arations for speedy marriage, but the lady,
wishing for better acquaintance before TAX
ing the final step, urged postponement. This
seemed to derange Mr.. Bell, and from that time
ne acted strangely, till the night of November
10th, when he shot himself and died in short
time. The Helena Herald. upon which Bell
was employed, says: ''The lady is in no way
to blame in the matter" which agrees with the
belief of her many friends in Belfast.

PORTLAND AND THE GRAND TRUNK
Informal Meeting at the Falmouth Hotel.

Last evening, Mr.. Hickson, manager of the
Grand Trunk, and the other officials of the
company, who have been stopping in the city
the past day or two, met several Portland gen
tlemen at the Falmouth Hotel. There were
present, besides the Grand Trunk gentlemen,
Mayor Senter, City Solicitor Hale, Hon. J. B.
Brown, and Messrs. Charles and Frank Bar
Rand. Mr.. A. A. Strout, Mr.. Messer and one
or two other Portland gentlemen
The visit of Mr.. Hiekson to Portland related
to Seeing what could be done in reference to
procuring increased facilities for the transac.
tion of the roads business. The question
seemed to be, provided the road built wharf
and elevator, such as was lately described in
the PRESS, what assistance could the COMPANY
expect from our citizens, as such, and not
from the city in its corporate capacity. Mr..
Browns opinion was to the effect that they
could raise all the money they wanted, if the
wharf and elevator were built on unincum-
bered property The point was presented that
the road could build wharf and elevator on
land located below low water mark. Mr..
Rand said, in his opinion, that was true, but
on being further asked if the Grand Trunk
Company would have clear title to such
property, he was not prepared to say they
would. He was prepared to say. however, that
nobody else could lay claim to it. Notice has
been given to the Legislature that the Allan
tic & ST. Lawrence road will ask perms-
sion to extend their wharves to tide
water on the northerly side. If the
wharf and elevator are built. the funds will
probably be raised by bonds.
The feeling seemed to be that the road must
have additional facilities here. We under .
stand that the opinion has been expressed that
the foreign business is transacted more salts
factorily at this port than elsewhere To show
the feeling in Canada the dealers in Christmas
goods have had their foreign importation
much delayed by the fact that Boston has got
more steamship business on her hands than
she can conveniently handle. She has .'bit off
a larger piece than she can chew" The other
day steamer landed cargo of fruit at Hall
fax, add it reached Montreal bofore the same
steamer had arrived in Boston. This must
have been an Allan steamer, since that line
touches at Halifax on the way to Boston. 1t
is also true that this custom house is 50 thor.
oughly acquainted with the Canadian bonded
goods business, that it can transact that busi-
ness with the greatest expedition and de-
spatch as compared with Boston. Portland
can't do all Boston's foreign business neither
can Boston do all that pertains to New Eng
land and Canada.
To-day the Grand Trunk officials will care
fully look over the ground for the establish
ment OF the wharves and elevator, and posi-
bly, may come to some decision, though it is
not probable that they will until their return |
to Canada. Nothing was decided last night.

Weuye room In another column 10
an article reported from an exchange,
referring In detail 10 some OF the subsi-
dr. schemes With which the present Con.
sress has had TO deal, and the battles
which the Hon. r. F. MARTIN, OF
this State, has so calamity ioughtagain
these schemes on the part OF great rail-
road corporations.
II Is largely due TO the persistent OPP
position of Mr.. MARTIN IN the House,
aud Mr., THuRMAS in the senate, that
millions Of dollars and millions OF acres
of the public lands have lately been
saved 10 the Government from the
greedy maws Of railroad iobbers and
other parasites Of the public purse
II. is not io,gotten that the attempt
made 10 inyeigle the Legislature OF West
Virginia into instructing her Represent
,aliyes to vote for the great Texas Pacific
subsidy. had already passed one branch,
when tho letter Of Mr.. MARrIS, de-
nouncing and exposing the steal, saved
the credit oi the State. and at the same
time gave the Job It's death thrust in the
House OF Congress.
That the defeat Of these subsidy
schemes is IN the interest OF the country
and of good government Is amply dem
onstrated by the results, The failure ol
the Government to contribute to any
public enterprise of such character has
never defeated one that was really wise
aud necessary. II Is always safe to con
clude that when the public demand ID
sufficient to justify any public enter
prise, il will lind private capital with
which to build il.
This has been shown In the Ease oil
the Southern Pacific. As long as tins
company had any hope oi government
aid, the building OF the road was de'
layed, hut when their lobbyists were
compelled To retire empty from the selgc
upon the public treasury the building
Of the road Was begun In earnest anu
| zoo miles have already been completed
without any outside aid.
Worthy enterprises will, ~ rule,
lind worthy support IN this country
from private capital. When capitalists
decline to invest il is an all'sullrlen'
reason Why the Government should de-
cline. That project which will not pay
private capital will not pay the people
