1t is not only the 4th congressional district

a loss by the defeat of Mr.. Burrows, but il
is the entire Nation. Expressions of regret
over his defeat, come from all parts of the
country. He was one of the very few mem

throughout the entire country. Plenty OF
Republicans staid at home, to have insured
his election if they had voted. They are
now kicking themselves to think they are

Fire Company.

A NEE ting was held last night for the
purpose of taking the lnltiatory steps to-
wards the re- reorganization 'ot the hre com,
pany in this city, at which Frank hcssel
presided as chairman and Chas. II. Kat
finger acted as secretary. Thos. Foley,
Frank Beales, Louis Schoenberg, Geo.
Lieber and Frank Trubshaw, together
with the chairman and secretary, were
the members present last night. Another
meeting will be held soon for the purpose
of filling up the quota necessary for
good company, of which meeting due no
tice will be published. The Alert is glad
to notice this start in the right direction,
and would urge them to proceed with the
GOOD work until good strong company
is permanently organized, for such com
pany is an absolute necessity to the utility
Of the engine. We would now suggest
that the village board pass an ordinance
in aid of the fire company by empowering
them to make bylaws and to enforce
them. and defining the powers and duties
of the officers in case of fire. NO one
should ioin a fire company for the fun OF
the thing, for it is not by any means
picnic to be fireman. and the company
should be composed of strong, ROBUST ana
resolute men, for they will probably oe
called upon to encounter rough and DAN
gerous work. The city ought to give
them at least the usual exemptions from
the burdens common TO citizens generally
in town, and provide them with all ne
cessary facilities for keeping their organ
ization in good order and in readiness Tor
an emergency.

An OycrcOat Thief.

Justice McHugh had his first case for
trial yesterday morning. One Daniel
Kane, charged with petit larceny IN ap-
proprlsting w. E. Mansficld's overcoat
'contrary to the statutes in such case
made and provided, was arralgned be-
fore Judge McHugh's tribunal for exam
inat,on. 1t seems that Kane took the
coat from hook in the Office of the Grand
Central in such cool and business-like
way that it attracted no attention from
those present and he walked off with his
booty unnoticed and uninterrupted.
When Mansfield came to don his ulster
his wardrobe was short that amount, and
he Immediately set about capturing the
thief by giving the matter into the hands
of Marshal Schmitz, and not long after
wards Schmitz laid his grab hooks on the
coat thief as he was coming out OF Smiths
saloon where he had just offered to sell
the coat, and waltzcd him off to the tune
of the rogue's march to the bastlle. Next
morning he was brought before Justice
1lcHugh for examination. The coat was
identified and proof against the prisoner
beyond reasonable doubt" His defense
was that he bought the coat Of another
but the story would not hold together,
md the Judgment of the court was fifteen
DAYS in the bastilc and fine of Sl5, and
conf; ;limentaries to the officers.

LOCAL MATTERS.
WOrthily Bestowed.

A very pleasant event took place in the
dining room of the Dakota House last
evening, which will no doubt be long re-
membcred both by the participants and
the spectators. Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
Matthews, whs have presided over the
management of that hotel since last
January, having resigned the posi-
ton and being on the point of
taking their departure were
taken by surprise in being pre-
sented with each handsome and elegant
gift from the dining room girls and other
employees about the house, the gift con-
sistlng of beautiful gold headed cane to
Mr.. Matthews and an elegant silver Ice
pitcher to his wife, both engraved for the
purpose and of the stock of Fields & Co. {,
this city. The gifts were presented with
appropriate remarks by Thos. Heenan,
chief cook. The value of the gifts was
about t75, but to the appreclatlve reclpi-
ents their value cannot be measured by
dollars and cents, for 1t is token of re-
gard and esteem which is above price.
Mr.. and Mrs. Matthews are appreciated
most by those who know them best, and
it is q source of universal regret that they
will likely take their permanent depar-
ture from the social circles of Jamestown
The employees at that house will ever re-
member the kind treatment received from
them both; the guests the con-
siderate attention to their COM
fort: the sick the motherly min
istrations of Mrs. Matthews, and the out
side community the social relations enjoy
ed with them here.

steers and the load of "punkins, down to the
final benevolent wish that his table was large
enough to invite the whole audience to supper,
every word and movement of the old man is
followed with delight. The success of the i'm
personation lies in its naturaness and consis-
tency throughout. There are few of his audi
tors but have some time in their lives lived in
the country and seen and known men OF whom
Uncle Josh is a reminder if not counter

Temporary Home for Women and Chill
dren.

dT0us
An adjourned meeting of the ladies and
gentlemen interested in the establs hment of
temporary homo for women and children,
which shall extend its beneicence over the
whole State, was held at the Common Council
room last evening. Ex-Mayor Fessenden pre-
sided. The report of the committee on nomi-
nations was deferred until the next meeting of
the board of managers in May. By request.
Mrs. DR.. Dsvoll addressed the convention at
some length on the subject before it. The
topics presented by her were, first, for what
classes is the home founded second, what is
the need of the home; how urgent and great is
the call upon public money and the public
heart for its support third, the methods pro-
posed for it's management; and she also sub
mitted plan for its support. The classes TO
be benefited by the institution, she stated are
"the women and children OF the State of
Maine who may be found on the streets, in bad
homes, in stations, or public institutions, dis
charged from imprisonment or reduced to de-
pendence upon public charity, and who are not
elsewhere provided with benefcent home infu-
ence. Women of any age may find shelter,
food, clothing and employment within its
walls. Friendless girls are included in this
classification of women. The classes of chill
dren coming within its province are, those for
whom homes must be provided, under the &C t
for the prevention of cruelty to children: those
who are now being brought no in beggary, or
who, by the neglect or crime of their parents
or guardians are exposed to career of vice;
infant orphan boys, as they are not provided
with an asylum in the State, and who must re-
main In the warehouses; until they are old
enough tosbe properly disposed Of; the children
OF unfortunate women, who are brought with
their mothers, or who may be boarded by
them; and any children who may be boarded
by their parents or guardians, especially Wild
ows and women compelled to support them by
their own labor. The need OF home was
presented with cogency and force, the speaker
drawing largely from statistics (unavoidably
| imperfect) gathered through THE State. The
method of management and the plan for the
support of the home were both given with con-
| siderable mnuteness, and at the close of her
remarks Miss Dsvoll formally received the
thanks of her hearers for her address.
| Mr.. 7. G. Woodbury., for the finance COM
mittee, submitted proposed plan for raising
funds Tor the support of the home. 1t con-
templated systematic method of subscrip-
tions, to be obtained by committees in the city
and through the State. The whole subject
was further discussed by Messrs. Israel Wash
burn, Jr., Geo. f. Emery, Sidney Thaxter, Jr,,
and Miss Devoll, and it was announced that
the work would soon be presented to the people
of Portland and the citizens of every county
In Maine. The meeting then adjourned.
