The Water street Congregational society
has not yet obtained pastor for the vacancy
occasioned by the resignation of DR.. Fiske
The Rev. Mr.. Wing of Freeport was given a
call to this pulpit sometime since. but he de-
clined it on account of what he thought
want of perfect unanimity. An effort was
again made to extend g second call to him. but
they failed to make it unanimous, and that is
an end of 1t. DR.. Fiske continues by vote OF
the church to be nominally pastor, but does
not preach, the pulpit being supplied by
preachers from other places. The health of
DR.. Fiske is SD precarious as to forbid him 10
attempt to spend the winter in Florida.
1t is understood that the Rev. Mr.. Richards
of the Central Congregational church has re-
Gently had some calls of fattsring nature,
none of which have been entertained. He is
very pleasantly situated here, and constantly
growing in popularity, and he has intimated
that he is not open to professional calls. Until
recently this society was considerably in debt
but the obligations have been paid Off Capt.
John Patten cur venerable and wealthy citi-
zen contributing large sum to that object,
and the ladies of the society had raised no H.
considerable amount for the same purpose.
The latter held fair and festival last We'd
nesday afternoon and evening in Columbian
Hall at which they cleared over three hundred
and twenty-five dollars.
The Episcopal church has been holding here
mission conference, lasting three days and
closing Wednesday evening ThesBishop of
the diocese and many clergymen and laymen
from abroad were in attendance.
On Saturday last Houghton Bros. launched
the Servia, very finely modelled ship of about
1900 tons, and she is now being rugged and fit
ted for the California wheat trade.
n view Of the dullness of freights on the
Pacific coast ship building has slackened up.
The building Of smaller crafts still goes on.
There is but one ship now on the stocks. and
that is in Sewall's yard.
The second annual carnival under the aus
pices of Dunlap Commandery, will be held
next week in the large hall of the car works,
commencing on Monday and continuing until
Friday inclusive. The entertainments on this
occasion will be of an unusual and interesting
character. Among them will be spear drill
by young ladies OF the High school and silent
manual Of the sword by squad OF Sir Knights
The carnival is to close with grand ball, at
which the Right Eminent Commander of
Maine, Governor Robbie and staff and other
dgnitories will be in attendance. A like car
nival was held last winter by the Sir Knights,
which was grand success every way. No
doubt the coming one will be the grand gala
occasion of the season. The Maine Central
Railroad will run special trains from Bath to
Brunswick each evening to the carnival with
the night Pullman train for Lewiston, Augusta
and Portland. A large party is expected from
Portland Friday evening. R.

The Portland Pos.ma.ter.hip.

A Washington special to the Boston Journal
Thursday says that."A. A. strout, Esq, OF
Portland, attorney for Postmaster Goddard,
had an interview with the Postmaster General
today. The explanation which has been
made on behalf of Mr.. Goddard of the charges
contained in the report of the special agent
have not yet been answered to the satisfaction
of the department The Postmaster General
said today that he should expect Goddard to
pay the department an amount equal to about
one thousand dollars year on account of the
transfer of the clerks from the money order
service, which was not warranted by the law.
The department. has taken no steps as to the
appointment of postmaster at Portland when
the commission of Goddard expires 1t is
learned that petition, which has received
strong names, is beine circulated in Portland,
recommending the reappointment of Sod
dard.'

THE "CHAxGEn swINDnLE.
successfully Played ON Owen, Moore &
+ 49, Cc.-Arrcst of the swindIer.

Yesterday afternoon about o'clock, we'll
dressed, smart appearing man, apparently
about 20 years OF age, entered the store of
Owen. Moore 81 Co. and purchased two pairs
OF cuffs. In payment he rendered the clerk a
500 bill which, as is customary, was sent to the
cashiers desk for change. As the cash boy
was coming back the man grabbed the change
box, and taking therefrom the change went to
the cashier aud asked for q $40 bill for small
bills which was given him. He then asked for
the $50 bill originally paid, for small bills al
80. Having obtained the bills he went out
OF the store. 1t was discovered Immediately
when the money was counted that there were
but $50 given in change for the $50
bill and that the firm had been swiadlsd out of
$40 in the transaction.
Information of the affair was sent to the
police station, and about o'clock Officers
Thrasher and Burnham found the swindler
at the Eastern Railroad depot, evidently wait
ing to take train for Boston. The fellow
went quietly to the station with the officers.
On his person was found $780, chiefly in $40
bills. He claims to reside in Boston but re-
fuses to give his name. He will probably be
brought before the court this morning for
examination.
Messrs. Owen, Moore & Co. stated that the
cashier who made the change was not their
regular cashier, but person employed in that
capacity for day or two only.

Besides this the little book contains a large
amount of useful information on variety of

pages which is much larger than any other
almanac sold for the same price, and certainly
it is much more useful than any constructed
on the basis of the old standards can be.

RAILWAY MATTERS.
The West shore Rand.

Regarding the rumored lease Of the West
Shore Railroad to the Grand Trunk, a prom
inent officer Of one of the leading trunk liues
said recently that he did not believe there was
any basis for the rumor, as he did not think
that the guarantee of the Grand Trunk would
be satisfactory to the West Shore, and, in adj
dition, the Grand Trunk now had good connec-
tioDs to the Atlantic seaboard by way of the
Lackawa1na and Erie reads, and could also
make use of the West Shore without owning or
leasing it. Another obstacle to the lease
would be the hostility that would result from
the changed attitude of the Erie and Lacka-
wanna in case the lease should be made.
