Charles q, Henderson

The many friends of Mr.. Charles e. Hen
derson were greatly panied to hear OF his sad
death which occurred at his home in this city
on Monday last. Mr.. Henderson was attacked
with congestion of the brain, which developed
into typhoid fever and his enfeebled frame
was not able to withstand that diesase.
Mr.. Henderson was but "a years of age. He
commenced life as water boy some ten years
ago, on the Boston & Maine road and about
nine years since took service with the Roches-
ter as fence builder He was so energetic and
industrious that he was gradually promoted to
baggage master, and was ON the same train
with the lamented Con O'Bren the night the
latter was killed. Mr.. Henderson was then
promoted to conductor of the Gorham train
and yard master at Portland, positions he held
at the time of his DEATH
The company considered Mr.. Henderson one
OF the most promising and valued OF its en-
ployes. He wac gentle hammered, kind and
obliging, while he was most faithful to its in
terests. He was exceedingly popular with all
his fellow employees. He leaves widow and
enc child. He was member OF the Rochester
Lodge of Odd Fellows and of the Eastern Star
Encampment of this city
Prayers will be held at his late residence, No
Park Place, at a. m. to-day, and the re-
mains win then be taken to Rochester, N III.
where services will be held at the church un-
der the auspices of the odd Fellows.

Arsenical Poisoning.

A few days ago the family of Samuel Had
ley were poisoned at Otter Creek, near Bar
Harbor. They provided dinner at noon time
and placed on the table water from the water
pail. The wife and children drank of IL, the
husband did not. The children, boy and
two girls, got up from the table and started
out berrying, bat had not proceeded far when
they were taken vomiting. They got home as
best they could The wife who drank heartily
of the water was Immediately taken sick after
eating and commenced vomiting. Two ladies
in the neighborhood, Mrs. Leander Richardson
and Mrs Wells, who had called during the
meantime and had drunk of the water, were
also taken sick in the same manner. Two
physicians were called and they united In pro-
nounclDg 1t to be case of arsenical poisoning
Under careful medical treatment they are all
recovering, but Mrs. Hadley and Mrs. Richard
son who drank more of the water than the
others had very narrow escape.

Portland Cadets.

What can be more enjoyable than beauti-
tiful sail among our picturesque islands with
the pale, silent moon casting her full silyery
beams across the dancing waves, and cooling
zephyrs gently blowing, bringing comfort and
sense of rest to all, coupled with charming
selections BY Chandler's band, and the melodi-
Gus voices of the Mendelssohn Club? such are
some OF the Inducements the Cadets offer to
those who join them on their excursion this
evening, and certainly they are sufficient to
draw large and respectable party. After
sailing about two hours and half, the steamer
touches at Peaks Island to allow those who
desire to enjoy the Vaccinations of the waltz, an
opportunity to do 80, by going to Greenwood
garden, which the Cadets have engaged for
this occasion. The boat then returns direct to
the city, reaching here about 10.45, and return
ing to the island for the dancers again, arriv-
ing at the city about half past twelve. The
tickets for the entire programme are but fifty
cents, obtaiDable from the members and at the
boat. The steamer leaves Custom House
wharf at o'clock.

RAILWAY NOTES.
a Through Line from Washington to
st. John.


The recent purchase by the Eastern railroad
Of large tract of land in East Boston, for
wharf and ferry purposes is said to be part of q
great scheme under consideration for some
time by the officers of that railroad and of the
New York & New England for a through, fast,
all rail line from Washington to st. John and
Halifax. The New York & New England
Railroad Company now has, as is we'll known,
a through Washington express train, and the
single break now existing between Washington
and St. John, is in Boston. The present
scheme Of avoiding this and taking not only
passengers but also freight trains through by
transfer steamer from the New York & New
England Company's wharves to those OF the
Eastern Company in East Boston, Is to be car
ried out by the New England Lighterage Com.
pany. corporation recently organized by New
York and Boston capitalists, under the laws of
New Jersey. 1t has for its object not only the
transportation of passengers between the
wharves of the two railroad companies in
question, but also the transfer Of freight in
bulk. 1t is capitalized for $250,C00 nearly all
OF which has been subscribed
Contracts have been made with both the rail-
road corporations, and the New York & New
England Company is now making arrange
ments to ft one of its wharves with the appli-
ances necessary to the transferring of its cars
to the boats of the lighterage company. The
Eastern people will also, just as soon as posi- :
BILE, build slip on the land recently purchased
at their East Boston terminus. Indeed, their
improvements at this point last year. which
cost the company absnt $4,000, and by which
1t has secured for itself first-cass wharfage fa-
cilities, were made, it is now understood, with
the establishment of this connection in view.
The lighterage company will put on as many
boats as shall be found necessary, and will also
build number of floating elevators, aud be
able to mix and screen grain for export, q
thing that it has been impossible TO do hereto
fore in Boston. The compapy's elevators, one
of which is at present in process of construc-
ton, and about complete, at New York, will
cost not far from 100000 each. The details Of
the new arrangement are now being perfected,
and it is hoped, as noted above. to have it in
full working order at an early date. The run
ming of through passenger trains will not,
however, it is understood, be undertaken until
the new bridge at st. John is completed

Fire Alarms nv Telanhona.

Arrangements were made yesterday with the
telephone company with reference to the
prompt notification of the engine companies
whenever slight fire occurs not extensive
enough to warrant general alarm. II help
is wanted all that is needed is to notify the
central telephone Office and they will at once
send hose carriage to the desired place. In
ringing up the !engine houses a special signal
has been arranged for occasions like these.
The operator will keep the bell ringing con-
tinuously until there is an answer and the fire.
men can at once tell that the summons Is a
fire alarm. BY remembering to notify the CEN
trail office in case of fire, instead of asking for
connection with the engine house much time
can be saved,

fremont" which the Portland Steam Packet
Company has just placed over their passenger
entrance at the head of franklin wharf. The
picture was painted by our own talented ma.
rine artist, Franklin Stanwood, and represents
the steamer with startling fidelity to life as she
comes directly "head on" 1t is speaking
representation of life and action from every
point Of view and SO vivid is the impression it
produces upon the imagination that ones first
impulse is to stand aside to avoid being swept
under the keen PROV and foaming paddles Of
the approaching steamer. 1t will well repay

Masonic Statistics

Josiah FL. Drummond, in his report to the
Grand Lodge Of Maine for 1883, gives the
number of Masons in the United States and
Canada at 579,S26, against 566, 149 last year;
gain of 1857. This shows gain of about
IL per cent, the first since 1877, when it stood
at 602,089. The Masons are now ahead of 1874,
but not up to 1875, and are once more on the
uo grade. The raised this year are Is ,374,
against q, S39 last year. The suspensions for
non-payment of dues have fallen off and stand
1889 against 1880. This is really more en-
couraging. Mr.. Drummond remarks, than the
increase of initiates.
