The Indian Question.

Mr.. Herbert Weslh, whe has been invited to
address our citizens on the Indian question, is
a son of our late minister to England. After
his return 10 the United States Mr., Welsh de-
voted himself to his chosen profession as an
artist, in which he was rapidly acquiring an
eDviable reputation, when he visited the In
dian country at the invitation of friend. 1.-THE
visit was made for recreation, but while
among the Indians he became greatly inter
ested in them and deeply impressed with a
sense of the wrongs from which they are suf-
fering. He accordingly resolved to postpone
his professional pursuits, and devote his time
TO the task of redressing the injustice and
other evils to which the Indians are exposed
on the frontier and in their reservations.
Since his resolution became known, Mr.
Welsh has received numerous invitations tc
address public assemblies in our largest cities
where his views have met with much favor
and been endorsed by many leading citizens
The people of Portland will have an oppor
tunity of hearing Mr., Welsh this evening in
| Plymouth church and there can be no doub
that he will be greeted by a large and sympa
thetic audience. DIR. Seward and Bishop
| Nicely will both be present

Single Manufacturinp IL Maine

A fine new shingle mill has just been com.
pleted in Houlton for Mr. Frank N Titcomt
by Mr.. S. ii. Richardson, of Bangor, who il
the oldest mill builder in this section, and
probably in the country. Titcombs old mill Al
Houlton was burned in October, 1882, entailing
a loss of over $4,000. In November the new
mill was begun, and now it lis running full
blast with six single machines, day and night,
and turning out about 100000 feet of shingles
in each twenty-four hours. The new mill is
situated across the stream from the site of the
old one, and is in better location. 1t cost
over $4,000 exclusive of engine, boilers and
part of the machinery. Mr.. Titcomb has three
other mills, one in Littleton and two in New
Limerick. The four mills and the numbering
operations which supply them with cedar logs
employ over 800 men, and the result of all the
labor is an immense production of shingles,
probably 50,e00,000 feet a year. Mr.. Titcomb
has large tracts of land in various parts of
Aroostook county, and has lately purchased
$4,000 worth. He has bought $500 cords of
cedar from Shaw Bros, whose shingle mill was
burned lately; also 1000 cerds from, other par
ties near Houlton, who haul it direct to the
mills, cut in Short lengths. The woods crews
CUT CEDAR ID lengths varying from Twelve 10
forty feet. This is driven down the stream to
the mills in the spring. All the vast products
of Titcomb's industries are shipped by rail to
Massachusetts and other States, and the
freight charges of year amount to large
sum-
A large and powerful steam engine is to be
put into Hersey's clothespin mandatory at
Vanceboro. The old engine was not powerful
enough to drive the machinery.
Six single machines are to be placed in
Hayford & Stetsons saw mill at Indiantown,
st. John, N. B.
Three large tenement houses are being built
at Van Buren, for the use of operatives in E.
r. Burpee's shingle mill at that place.

Accidents on the Grand rrunk.


As Engineer Hilborn's train, which leaves
this city over the Grand Trunk at 130 p. m I,
reached the other side Of the bridge over the
Presumpscot river Modday afternoon, tire on
one of the wheels of the locomotive broke and
the train was in imminent peril for few mo-
ments. Fortunately the motion was stopped
before any further damage was done than that
which was suffered by the engine. The train
was brought back to Portland.
A very strange accident to freight train
happened Saturday. A freight train to Port
land had reached the steep grade at Cumber-
land when the forward trucks of one of the
cars-which was loaded with potatoes-broke
away and were thrown to one side of the
track The whole weight of that end of the
Car was thus thrown on the shackling connect.
| ing the Car with the one in front, and in that
position the whole train reached the city at c
p. m. in safety. 1t was a narrow escape from
serious damage.

The order relating to the intercepting sewer
on Commercial St., passed at the last meeting,
was called up by Alderman Winslow, who
thought that the Boards action by which the
order was passed should be reconsidered be-
cause it gave the Mayor too much power. The
order authorized the Mayor to virtually have
all the say about the building of the sewer. Mr..
Winslow said he had not given proper atten-
tion to the order in the first place and meant
no discourtesy to the Mayor, but he didn't
think the work should be allowed to go on uD-
less under supervision of the committee on
drains and sewers, as we'll as the Mayor, and,
in order to prevent any work being done be-
f0rp fbo ro4u had
been made, he wished to reconsider.
Messrs. Thurston, Tukesbury, King and Lit
tie all thought that no discourtesy was intend
ed by the Mayor in the matter. They all adj
mitted their own negligence when the order
was originally brought before them in not no.
ticing the omission of the committee on sew
ers, but they thought when the Mayors atten-
ton was called to it he would be very quick
to rectify the error.
Mr.. Melcher thought with the other Alder
men, that they had all erred in not scrutiniz-
ing the origir al order more closely. He
thought, however, with Mr.. Winslow, that the
order should be reconsidered. If the Mayor
had worded the original order intentionally he
should be rebuked. If not, no man would
thank them more quickly for affording him
the opportunity to rectify his mistake
Mr.. King moved to lay the motion to recon-
slider on the table, 10 be taken up in preference
to other Aldermanic business at the next ses-
sion.
Quite discussion arose as to whether Mr.
Kings motion was in order, until the question
OF reconsideration was decided, but it was
finally decided that it was, and it was carried
by vote of to 3, Messrs. Gould, Winsow
and Melcher voting nay.
The meeting adjourned to Saturday, at 7.3O
p. m.

Few men, when the dread summons comes
leave SO many who sincerely mourn, as has
freeman Mason. He had great fidelity in
friendship and inspired fidelity in his friends
He was public spirited, benevolent, charitable,
a kind neighhor, a kind husband. He leaves a
wife heartstr icken in her loneliness, a father
