RAILROAD NOTES.
The Trunk Lines.

The joint executive committee Of the west
ern and eastern railroads met Wednesday at
Commissioner Fink's office in New York
There was large attendance of members
There was no important general question
which required the assembling OF the commit
tee but the presence of hume rous freight
agents in the city at the regul Ar monthly
meetings of the officers of the fast freight
lines, which have been held there in the last
few days, and the necessity of consideration
of the percentage of the Chicago freight pool,
rendered it desirable to call the general COM
mittee together to settle other pool questions
In the latter part Of June Commissioner
Fink made an allotment of temporary per-
csntages to govern the distribution of the
east-bound freight business out OF Chicago
He allowed the Chicago and Gran6 Trunk
Railroad II per centages against 10 per cent
under the old 1880 pool; the two Pennsylvania
roads 35d against 33, and the two Vanderbilt
roads 45d against 40, the Baltimore and Ohio
per centage being left unchanged. 1t was
hoped that Mr.. Flnk's awards wo1ld be ac-
cepted as permanent by the Chicago roads
The companies have appealed to arbitration,
however. The Grand Trunk is dissatisfied
the increase is not, in its opinion, proportion
ate to what it claims to merit by the opening
of its independent Chicago line. 1t is said
that the Vanderbilt people resent their reduc-
ton in per centages from their old basis. 1t
was agreed to refer the matter to the perma-
nent arbitrator of the railroads Charles Fran
els Adams Jrl Mr.. Adams listened to the
arguments of the several roads yesterday but
his decision will not be given for some time.
Minor Notes.

ments eastward from Chicago of flour, grain
and provisions for the week ended Saturday,
July %, shows a small gain (2147 tons) on tn 9
shipments of the preceding week. but de-
cline of 81, 093 tons, or 60 is per cent, from
the shipments of the same week in 1881.

proaident Arthur COMING to Maine.


President Arthur will visit Maine the mid
die of August, according to the Boston Jour
nal. He is going to Bar Hsrbor for a brief
period of rest. In that case he will probably
20 via Portland and the City OF Richmond,
and our city should eee to it that cordial in
yitstion is extended to him to sojourn with
us, if only for a day or two. 1t VIII be remem-
beled that President Garfield had made ar
engagements to visit Portland last August when
the shot of the assassin deprived our ci'lzens
of the pleasure of giving him hearty wei
come. President Arthur will be Warmly
greeted and special attentions will be SHOWN
him. The regular August meeting Oh 'ne
Citg Government would be rather late TO eA-
tod an invitation and, if the Boston Jonrnai
is correct, special meeting should be con-
yened for that purpose.

We congratulate the ladies of the Vest Con-

mucn applauded. A large crowd filled the
grounds, and every lady pronounced this en-
tertainment, which was novelty in this city,
a great success. The Old Oaken Bucket
brought fine lemonade from the moss covered
well, while the young ladies dispensed ice
cream and cake with great grace. We hear
nothing but praise of the whole affair The

Those Bonds.

In yesterdays Press appeared an advertise
ment in reference to loss of $1,000 in U. g.

tleman who has an Office in the Cumberland
Bank building, found the envelope that had
contained the bonds, with some papers in tho
envelope, which had belonged to the gentle
man who lost them, and he returned them at
once. The finder therefore evidently intended
to appropriate the bonds, little imagining that
he will find himself in nice box if he at
tempts to negotiate them.

An Industrial Exhibition.

The Maine Charitable Mechanic Associa-

preached the subject of holding an exhibition

and the proper time for holding the same.
This committee held a meeting last evening
and it was decided to report in favor OF such
an enterprise, to be held some time in the iail

ton may be adopted, ana that this association
may be entirely successful in its attempts to
make the general public better acquainted
with the abilities of our Portland mechanics.

rible burning accident took place. Arthur, a
two years old child of Mrs. Making, was left in
charge of its grandfather and grandmother,
while its mother was away at the Fort Point

had a large tin pan in which they collected
potato bugs from the garden, and afterwards

close to the fire, and, its clothes catching from
the flames, was burned shoekingly before any
