Last evening about nine o'clock, the man
who runs the elevator for the roller skating
rink in Storer Bros building on Middle street
saw man crouching in dark corner of the
basement. Thinking something was wrong,
he went, with another man who happened to
be present, to the spot and discovered a lad
about seventeen years OF age who was consid-
erably intoxicated and could give no plausible
reason for his being there. A door, near by,
leading out of the basement in the rear of the
building, was unfastened, and just outside of
the elevator three pairs of trowsers were found
that had been thrown out of the door, and
bore the checks denoting size and price that
had been placed on them by Storer Brothers
from whom they had evidently been stolen.
Under the elevator ten or twelve more pairs
were lying, ready for removal.
The elevator man telephoned the police sta
tion and Captain Black sent officer Frank
Merrill down to the Storer building. Merrill
found the lad guarded by the two men and ar
rested him. The young man gave his name as
Jerry Reardon and resides on Winthrop street.
He denied any intention of stealing anything,
and said he was on his way to the rink, intend
ing to take the elevator. He admitted having
had companion, who was probably watching
outside, but was frightened away.

RAILROAD NOTES.
Consolidation.

On the question Of the consolidation of the
Eastern and Boston and Maine. an active rail-
road man of much experience said yesterday:
There are railroad consultations of two
sorts, one OF which is SO manlfestly in accord
with good public policy as to be favored by the
stockholders and the people alike; the other,
contrary to the public interest, and though
perhaps good thing for the stockholders, and
apt to be favored by them, is bad for the peo-
pie generally, who have some rights in the
matter of railroads, as well as the stock
holders A consolidation of the former class
would be the union in one corporation of the
Eastern and the Maine Central railroads. That
would form continuous through line with
ample facilities to accommodate its patrons,
and the public would not be slow to hold its
managers up to strict accountability. More
over, these roads are now virtually under one
management; the Eastern Railroad owns a
ijority of the stock of the Name Central,
aud the chief executive officers of both are
the same. Besides, the operation of these
roads in the same interest has proved very
successful and satisfactory to the people. and
closer and complete union would add to its
efficiency. By the consolidation of the East.
ern and the Boston and Maine, at any rate
under such an arrangement as the proposed
lease contemplates belongs, think, to the
second class OF consultations, and is contrary
co public policy. These roads are competing
for business in the same territory; money was
expended to build them for the purpose of
giving the people the benefit of competition,
and don't believe the public interests will
he served by one road bottlng up the other
l DON'T think the lease will be carried out, for
the suit of Mr.. Willard p. Phillips, it seems to
me, will oppose an insurmountable barrier,
and l shall not be surprised if the next legis-
lature repeats the authority given these roads
to unite. The general railroad prohibits the
nnion of roads centerng in Boston, and very
wisely, ia the main, as l believe, and these
special acts allowing the Boston and Maine to
swallow up the Eastern, and permitting the
Boston and Lowell to lea~e or be leased to
any other road, in this state or out of it, wheth-
er connecting with it or not, seems to me con-
trary to sound public policy. Boston Adver-
tiser.

cAsoo STREET CHURCH.
Reception and presentation.


The fourth anniversary of the settlement of
the Rev. j. NJ. Lowden over the First Free
Baptist Church of this city, was observed at
their church last evening, on which occasion
large audience were gathered to meet their
pastor, who had just returned from the gener-
al conference at Minneapolis. bountiful
supper was partaken of, at the close OF which
the audience were favored with choice selec.
tions by Shaw's Quartette (Messrs. Shaw, Col
by, Bowdoin and Root. Mr.. Levi Jones
called the meeting to order. and the following
address, accompanied with handsome gold
watch was presented to the pastor
1t is difficult to conceive of relation, out
side OF the family circle, more intimate and
important than that which exists between
people and their spiritual adviser. None
ought to be more fully recognized and sincere
ly felt The duties of faithful minister and
pastor are such as often tax his skill and
Christian tirmness to their utmost stint and
such as makes him feel the need of the hearty
support ana encouragement, such as it is the
duty OF his church aud congregation to offer.
Tokens OF appreciation, however small, often
give great encouragement to those on whom
they are bestowed L have been requested by
the members of this congregation aud society
as token AID appreciation of your Christian
your labors for this society, to present token
WHICH may not be of so much importance on
account of its intrinsic value as by reason of
the kindly and Christian feeling which
prompted all those who have in any way con-
tributed TO this occasion in their praiseworthy
act. May 1t be as true in noting the passing
moments as you have been in the discharge of
your christian duties towards those in whom
you have been especially interested. Please ac-
cept this as an expression of our esteem and
best wishes.
The reverend gentleman was completely
taken by surprise, and made the following re-
ply;
My Christian Friends: am conscious that
am not able to make fitting reply to your
kind expressions You have taken me entire
y by surprise. There are times when we feel
within us. Your kind and appreciative ex-
preston OF the relation between us as pas
tor and people have deeply touched my heart.
This has been to me an hour of deep, true joy.
The many kindly expressions have this even
ing received have filled me with gladness.
Still the JOY is not unminged is some-
thing of sadness The hour has been one of
retrospection and introspection. 1 have so far
failed OF reaching my ideal of pastor that /
have felt depressed. And yet / realize that
you have read my intent and accepted that.
BY the grace of our loving God may / serve
you better in the future. + accept this token
as an expression of sincere friendship. MY
prayeri is that by the blessing of an Heavenly
Father We each and all may be more efficient
In Hisservice. Again / thank you and pray
that Gods blessing may rest upon you.
The watch is from the well-known establish
ment of Carter Brothers, and bears the fol.

Lowden, by the First Free Baptist church and
society, Portland, Me-, Oct. %, 1888"
