Pontius Being Architect.

The material is of granite or hard saudi
stone, capable of beng easily cut and suscep-
tible of a high polish. Two thousand
Knights Templar, ii is claimed, participated,
and the obelisk will be one of the great orna-
ments of Central Park. Speaking of granite,
this is an age of stone and granite. Bricks
are giving way to both.
ARCHITECTURE sTATUARY.
Not a great many years ago in this city a
marble bust was a wonder, and when the
marble bust of Chief Justice Marshall, which
graces the City Hall, was erected at an ex-
pense of $500 people were Mortified at the
extravaganza Of the city fathers. Now, how
ever, private individuals are adjoining Cen
and Vanderbilt is filling his house with pic
lures and statuary, some pieces costing $4O,-
900. This. with private residences built of
solid marble, like that OF the late All. Stew
arts, is enough to make the men who deemed
Marshall's bust extravagant turn in their
graves. Speaking OF marble palaces and
graves it is not amiss to note the fact that A.
T.. Stewards remains have not yet been re-
covered, although there is a splendid crypt
in the new cathedral his wife Is erecting as a
memorial building awaiting them. The rob-
bers at one time would have taken $4,000
casl, for the remains, but now ask $500, 600.

markable fact that the two contractors lost
every dollar they had in the world trying ia

Persons contemplating the purchase of an
Encyclopedia of any kind will do well to call
on the undersigned and examine the several
publications of this class before purchasing
elsewhere, as we have constantly on hand for
examination and comparison copies of the
latest editions of the American, Britannica,
Johnson's, Zell's and Chambers Cyclopsedia.
Several professional and business men in
this city and vicinity who not long ago sub
scribed for the Encyclopedia Britannica, find
themselves greatly disappointed in the work
as a book of reference for daily and family
use, and have either made an exchange for the
American or offered to assign their subscrip-
tons Nth a gift Of four volanaes to any
who will assume their obligations to purchase
the future volumes, which will not be complet-
ed for the next four or five years.
Scientists who have use for any of the special
treatises of the Britannica will be able to buy
them separately or obtain the completed work
at large discount as soon as it is completed,
so many are being offered to us in exchange
for the American Cyclopsedia.

The N Gather


Thus far the month of June has been a de-
cidedly cool month, contrasting very strongly
with the month of May. The first day was
warm enough, its mean temperature being re-
corded at the signal office as 70.2 degrees The
mean for the first day of May was exactly $50
less, and herein we find the first point of con-
trast. But the average mean for the five days
from May 2 to 6, Inclusive, was 622o' while
that for the five corresponding days this month
is only $50. The highest temperature record
ed this month is $50, which was reached on
tho LIST inst. Since then the mercury has been
no higher than ZOE, that temperature being re-
corded for the 9th 1t will be remembered
that the highest temperature recorded for May
was $40. Another point of contrast lies in the
fact that while May was marked by remarka-
bly, clear weather June bids fair to be month
of clouds and rain.

The Nomination.
HOW 1T WAS RECEIVED IN PORT
LAND.
The First Campaign Flag to be Raised
Tonight.

Since the balloting commenced for President
the telegraph offices and newspaper counting
rooms, sidewalks in front of item,
and hotel corridors have been filed, day and
night, with eager throngs watching the
changing figures. When the news came yes
terday afternoon at 2.45 o'clock, that Garfield
was the successful man cheer arose and later
there were hearty congratulations. 1t was the
constant remark "Well. if it couldn't be
Blaine, no better choice could have been
made"
A representative Of the PRESS visited num-
Der of prominent Republicans to get their
ideas about the nomination.
Judge Fox, of the U. S. District Court, said
he had paid but little attention to politics of
late, and knew little about the candidates.
He had no doubt that Garfield would obtain
the full party vote. He was very mnch pleased
that Grant had not been successful and that
Conklng had received a square rebuke.
Hon. Nathan Webb thought the nomination
an excellent one, and that Gen. Garfield would
call out as many if not more votes than Mr.
Blaine.
Hon. William W. Thomas thought the NOM
ination admirable and wise. 1t was happy
idea to take third man owing to the friction
that had existed between the two leading can
didates. He thought Garfield favorite with
both wings of the Repub lican party and his
nomination would create much better party
feeling throughout the country
Hon. William W. Virgin, Judge Peabody,
District Attorney Lunt, and Hon. III. H. Bur-
CESS all thought the nomination very strong
one.
Hon. j. B. Brown, with his sons, Gen. John
Marshall and Phillip FL. Brown, thought all
the discordant elements of the party would be
harmonized by the nomination, and that the
true interests of the country would be faith
fully subserved by him. They considered the
General an exceedingly able man, and man
of the soundest financial ideas.
Mr.. f. X. Swan, of the well known banking
firm of Swan & Barrett, heartily concurred
with the Browns.
T. G. Hersey Esq, ex-President Board of
Trade, thought the nomination exceedingly
strong. He should have preferred Washburne
Individually but thought the nomination far
better than Edmunds would have been.
The above are only samples of the general
drift of sentiment throughout the city.
Hon. Bion Bradbury, Democrat, thought
the nomination would give the Democrats
almost walk over this fall. On the contrary
Charles Mccarthy Esq. considered the name of
Garfield as strong one as the Republicans
could offer.
The Republicans of Portland tonight will
raise large Garfield flag in Market square.
1t is expected that there will be speeches by
prominent men of the party, though the speak
ers have not yet been decided upon. The
flag will be very large and handsome and will
occupy the most conspicuous position in the
city, between the Preble house and Republican
headquarters at Lancaster hall. Chambers full
band will furnish music, and there will be a
display of fire works. The flag raising will
commence at $780, If not pleasant the affair
will be postponed

LEAVE.
Liabilities $4,000. Assets Indefinite.
Yesterday reporter Of the PRESS hearing
rumor that Mr.. George A. Whitney, the well
known furniture dealer on Exchange street,
had left town suddenly, called upon mis- part
ner, Mr.. Redman, to ascertain the facts
Mr.. Redman stated that he went into part
nership with his brother-in-law, Mr. Whitney,
nine years ago. That he considered him a
man of the highest probity, for his family were
all noted for their honesty and correct habits
Some three years ago he ascertained that Mr..
Whitney was falling from grace. His habits
Were bad, and he brought the firm into
tro uble. Mr.. Whitney however promised to
reform and the affairs of the firm apparently
prospered. Whitney kept the books under his
charge, and Redman did not know but what
everything was all right.
Lately Mr.. Whitney has betaken himself to
his old ways. Fighting the tiger, wine and
women have held him in their tolls. Last
Thursday night he entered Webster's saloon in
state of intoxication and displayed a roll of
bills amounting to some $1,000, including two
$500 bills. Friday morning he told his wife he
was going to the store, but he left town on the
1.30 p. NJ train for Montreal. At Gorham he
telegraphed his wife he should be home in a
few days She sent man to track him. and
he ascertained Whitney was last seen at Island
Pond. Mr.. Redman considers this is the last
that will be seen in Portland of his partner
An investigation of the books shows $4,000
liabilities, and assets indefinite Redman has
lost $4,000; Mr.. Sanb orn, clerk, $1,000. The
creditors are located in Boston and Maine, and
their bills vary from $500 to $40. A meeting
of creditors will be held Tuesday next On
the day Whitney left note for $500 was pro-
tested, others later. 1t is thought Whitney
decided to collect all he could and clear out
His wife remains il Portland.

1t will be seen that proposals for the cree

be considered carefully by proposed contrac-

they possibly can commensurate with the work
being properly done. Portland needs this
theatre. A good theatre will do more in a
community to kill bad habits in the young
than many people are willing to admit.
