A Well-Known Broker Leaves Town.

Many of our readers perhaps are acquainted
with Mr.. Edwin Dow who has resided for
some years in Portland where he has pursued
the business of real estate broker, and re-
sided at No. 81 Brown street. Saturday it was
reported that Mr.. Dow had left town and that
attachments had been placed On his property
A reporter for the PRESS inquired of Deputy
Sheriff Parker about the matter and was in
formed that Mr.. Dow had left town with his
wife apparently for good, leaving his son in the
house on Brown st. This house the son
claim ed his father had decided him. Sheriff
Parker has placed keeper in the house on an
attachment at the suit of Mr.. Elbrdge Gerry
for 81 800. Mr. Parker considers that Mr..
Dow put what property he possessed out of his
hands after June 4Lh, and it will be so found
recorded at the Registry Of Deeds. 1t is said
that there are number of mourners, one
young man on the Hill is out 81 900.
AS near as conld be gathered from other
sources it appears that Mr.. Dow came to Port
land from Poland about 1888 or 1910. He was
cooper by trade and employed by Hon. j. B.
Brown. Later, about 1854, he went to Sagi-
nav, Mich, in the employ of Phinney &
jackson. The house on Brown street was af-
forwards bought by him and he also owned a
house on Wi1mot street, and property on Nun
joy Hill. In 1877, or 1878, he bought mort
gage to the property lately owned by Mr.. Stan
ton in Cape Elizabeth, and about the same
time mortgage to property owned by Mr.. AL
bert Thompson at the same place. These pos
sessions he purchased after his return from Sag
;por hoc lod ;,, krtla.
began to do real estate and speculative bust
ness. The conveyances of property recorded
on or since June 4th are that of the house
on Brown street, (the house is
mortgaged to the Portland Savings Bank; one
of other property to one McCorrison; another
to Spencer; and quitclaim of certain
property located on Munjoy to W. H. Sanborn.
1t is said that Mr.. Dow is no doubt, man
of honest intentions and will ultimately, if
successful, try and pay all he owes. How
much he owes is unknown. 1t is reported
that his troubles began with the purchasing Of
notes of Allen Cows to the amount Of some
$1,000. Then he went into the Hayford paper,
and in order to carry this paper, his notes were
given to other parties for money advanced. 1t
is possible the amount of his indebtedness will
vary from $4,000 to $4,000. The notes are
said to be held by Elbridge Gerry, T. P. Far
rington, John Reed, P. J. Larrabee, NJ P.
Frank, w. II. Sanborn, Roberts and others.
Mr.. Dow left the city on the afternoon of
June 4th, or 9th, for Colorado, SO it is said.
He told one gentleman he was going to Colo
RADIO, which is very likely, as he has a son re-
siding there who is quite successful in bust
ness. Another gentleman also told reporter
for the PRESS that son of Mr.. Dow's, resident
here, said he did not think his father would
return. Still he may come back and every
thing be Strengthened out.

We understand that the contract between
the Grand Trunk line and the Beaver and Do
minion lines of steamships, which have been
running the past few winters from this port to
Liverpool, has expired, and that the Grand
Trunk has advertised for first class line of
passenger steamers to run in connection with
their road between Portland and Liverpool
during the winter months.
We understand that President Murray of
the Beaver line, has expressed himself as well
satisfied with the business done with Portland,
the company having paid two dividends the
past year-one of six and the other of four
per cent-and placed large sum to the con-
tngent fund. His line, Mr.. Murray is report
ed as saying, would be glad to continue this
contract with the Grand Trunk, but that COM
pany calls for first class passenger line which
consequently does not permit the carrying of
cattle, and, at the same time, the Beaver is
intended more for freight than passenger
business. Such a line as the Grand Trunk
is reported as advertising for, in the Eng
lish papers, is line like Allan, Cunard
or White Star, carrying great freights,
but with first class accommodations for
passengers. If the Beaver line cannot fill
the bill, it is probable the Dominion line is in
the same position. We should regret extreme
Iy to part with these two lines, for they have
done some excellent service, and their officers
have always been most agreeable and accom-
modating.
We understand if the Grand Trunk had the
money to put out for new wharves in Port
land they would not only have both the Beaver
and Dominion, but also large passenger line
running Their facilities for transportation
are now far different from what they were ten
years ago, but, as is we'll known, they need ad-
ditional facilities here 1t is understood that
emigration will be very large this year, the
North German Lloyds line contracting for 5000
passengers the next few months. This amount
is but drop to the great mass Of immigrants
that desire to land on our shores, and the
Grand Trunk naturally wishes share in the
profits of their transportation. 1t is possible
that if Sir Hugh Allan can see his way to
make it an object, he will sign the contract,
for he is not actuated by sentiment but willing
to go where he can do business proftably.
While all will rejoice in the establishment
of first class passenger line, there is one feat
uro VI Iho ocoau uaiilc, however, Wo Snall pe
sorry to lose if the above report is correct, and
that is the cattle trade. We had hoped this
trade would grow into proportions that would
result in large cattle yards in the vicinity Of
Portland with the profitable attendant bust
ness; profitable to our citizens. We hope that
even if the passenger line is established some
way may be found to preserve and enlarge
this cattle traffic between the two countries
| from Portland.

BARNUM'S CIRCUS.
Two Men Injured on the Way to Port
land.

The train conveying Barnum, Bailey and
Hutchinson's Great Show reached here about
ten yesterday. The train consisted of forty
cars.
On the way thither, near Kennebunk two
of the circus hands, acting as brakemen were
struck by the bridge, and one knocked be-
tween the cars and caught by some of the men
and the other Knocked flat on the car top.
The first one. William 7. Salsman, was seri-
ously injured, and when the train reached
Portland was taken to the Maine General Hos
pital. Last night the doctor thought he would
recover. The other suffered some bruises on
the face.
The large force of employees were fed by
Murray at the transfer restaurant with hot
beans, brown bread, cold ham, tongue, pork,
bread and butter, tea and coffee. The train
left for Bangor about p. m. The show will.
return here and exhibit in Portland the 18th.
