The funeral of officer Oliver H Davis took
place this afternoon at the residence of his SON
in-law Henry l.. Sturtevant, on Thomas street
The house was well filled with an audience
largely composed of business men, who, by
their presence attested to the affectionate re-
membrance in which the memory of Uncle
Oliver Is held. The services were brief and
appropriate. Ths Rev. DIR. McKeown 7 I'd Sc
lsctioss from the Scripture, and thesRev. Mr..
Williams of Pine street church spoke briefly of
the Christian life Of the departed, and of the
lesson taught by that life, closing with an earn
est prayer. "Sweet Bye and Bye'' was then
sung by Shaw's Quartette. The hymn was q
special favorite with Uncle Oliver and he often
expressed hope that it might be sung at his
funeral.
The face of Uncle Oliver looked very calm
deaceful and life-like. At the head of the cof-
an was floral pillow bearing the word Gath
er," and which was an offering from the chill
dren of the deceased.
The police force appropriately dressed in
mourning, was present in body. The depart
ment presented as a tribute OF respect floral
pillow with the letters 20. 81. d. and "P. P.
D." in the centre.
The police escorted the remains as far as
Deering bridge, on their way to Evergreen
cemetery where the burial took place.
The pail bearers were officers Burnham, Gar
land, jackson. Heath, Bell and Steele Off

Railroad Notes.

The Boston Journal says: although the
circular concerning the proposed lease of the
Eastern to the Boston and Maine contains no
particulars as to terms ETC., they are explained
all the same to the stockholders, and to the
effect that the Boston & Maine is to be asked
to pay the interest upon the present debt of
both roads and upon new issue of million
dollars Of improvement bonds before the Bos-
ton & Maine receives 9 per cent; then tho
Eastern stock comes in, If there is anything
left for 1t. No provision is made, however,
for the sinking fund for the Eastern's debt. 1t
is not at all surprising the Boston & Maine
directors and stockholders object, even in ad-
vance, to these proposed terms"
The Bangor Whig says that the Eastern
Maine Railway Company will ask for author
ity Of the Maine Legislature, during the win
ter session, to continue its line to some point
ON the island of Mt. Desert, with a branc h
from Ellsworth to Lamolne.
