EsEf the Back Rave
" =" EHHO N1HECA N8Hy
To the Editor of the Press.

10 the Editor OF the Press
Without any desire to contribute to any un-
necessary agitation Of the Back bay question,
trust may be allowed to make suggestion.
That at times our night atmosphere has been
permeated with odors disgustingly offensive
ana certainly unhealthy, ought not to be de-
MED as It cannot be denied in good reason.
4heso ooors IN their sickening vileness have
reached Congress street-our city is not so
%lus tnat they may not be waited across
Probably the higher elevations have not been
affected. The condition of the atmosphere Mt
nlRnt IS favorable to the descent OF these
doors. These odors are not confined tn the
nature OF those of "any salt marsh" by any
means, though at certain points only the salt
nsts odor has been noticed. But on the line
OF Cumberland, Congress, Deering and State
streets, and some times on Free and Spring
streets, after sundown and before 10 O'clock
at night, and after 2 and 3 o'clock q. M, the
character of these odors when the most often
sive as they have filed our sleeping rooms
mas been Identical with that emitted by the
nlght-soil cart or the common privy vault.
From this statement there is no discount to
De31iiade as have been tee much OF an OBJ
server for tive years to be willing to modify it
in the least.
AS have on other occasions said that tho
Back bay was not guilty of all that was
charged TO 1t, my suggestion would be that
immediate steps be taken to ascertain the
cause with view to its speedy removal. The
charge has been made by some one that it is
not the Back bay at all-the tannery was bad
enough, but the tannery was not the whole Of
1.-THE peculiar odor, for there has been such,
and now let us know if it is what it has been
charged to-privy vaults on the northwest side
of the city.
1t is the duty of the city government to pro-
sect the value OF property from which Iit de-
riyes its share of municipal revenue.
For residences the north western side OF our
city is certainly more desirable than the cen.
trail, and the view upon the waters of Rack
bay and the opposite shore is too fine that its
reputation should be impaired by any unfair
treatment to the residents of our northern
slope. DEERING SrREFr.

Work of a Drunken sniIor,

A fisherman named Drake created great ex-
citement on the schooner Waterfall Sunday
BE came on board drunk, and his shipmates
tried to put i'm in his bunk, but he resisted,
and, snatching bottle from a castor on the
captains table, he made an assault upon the
entire crew. The captain ne struck a fearful
blow on the head. The steward he struck
across the face, making an opening that re-
quired the attention of physician, and which
will disfgure him for life. He also wounded
four others, two dangerously. Another man
then closed in with him, but Drake resisteds
and in the stru ggle the sailor had one finger
almost cut off, and received injuries that will
probably render his hand useless for life.
Drake, who had not received the slightest
wound, then rushed on deck, gained the
wharf and disappeared, and has not yet been
captured,

though the accumulated odors of the cold

completion OF the intercepting sewer, could
not the suggestion OF "Pearl Street" be acted

GENERAL j. A. LOGAN
Passes Through Portland ON His Way 10
Augusta.

Gen. John a. Logan, the Republican oandi-
date for the Vice Presidency, passed through
this city yesterday noon, on his way to Au-
gusta to visit Mr.. Blaine. Accompanied by
Senator Hale he left Washington at 4p. m.
sunday in accordance with request OF Mr.
Blaine who desired to have conference with
his associate on the presidential ticket before
tne letter of acceptance was prepared. At
Boston the elegant car No. 138--the directors
Car OF the Maine Central--was courteously
paced at the gentlemen's disposal and was at
tached to the regular morning train from Bos-
ton arriving in this city at 1880 p. m.
Very few people had any idea that General
Logan was coming through yesterday. At
the station were Collector Dow, Postmaster
Barker, President jackson of the Maine Gen.
tral, Judge Haskell of the Supreme Court,
hon. Frank Jones of Portsmouth, Col. H. S.
osgood of Augusta, Geo. S. Hunt, Esq, Mr..
Clarence Hale and fewothers.
General Logan received his visitors very
coarteously. His pictures are for the most
part caricat.ares They look as if he had his
s'm Iu' with scythe, and carried water
."n VI black hair on his upper lip. On the
oOH' ary he is very fine looking man, of large
Id commanding presence, with a very
pleasant smile. He told the reporter for the
PRESS he should leave Augusta with Senator
Hale tomorrow and return to Augusta
wednesday passing through that city and
Portland, on his direct return to Washington.
A reporter for the Boston Globe asked him
what his opinions were in regard to the ap-
nr0anhinp NJ h.
"he had not any to express" He was then
asked who he thought the Democratic Con-
Vention at Chicago would nominate for Presi-
dental candidates and the General remarked
me was not managing the Democratic party
The General was informed that If the public
had known he was coming there would have
been decided demonstration. As it was
quite number of people who had gathered
in the station collected around the car to see
the Republican nominee for the Vice Presi-
dency. At precisely 1.15 p. m. the car, at
tached to the Flying Yankee. left for Augusta,
and as the train pulled out of the station, Mr..
Winchester, the we'll known caterer, provided
sumptuous lunch to the distinguished party.
Senator Hale islooking exceedingly well and
was warmly greeted by his friends He stated
to the PRESS reporter that President Sewall
had kindly placed the directors car at the dis
position of Genw Logan for the trip to Ellsworth
and it is possible Mr.. Blaine will accompany
them.
Gen. Logan has no intention of taking his
family to Bar Harbor or to any other place in
Maine for the summer, as has been stated in
various quarters, but expects to remain in
Washington until the close of the session when
he will go to his Illinois home 1t is reported
that Mr.. Blaine's letter of acceptance will
doubtless be an elaborate one, while Gen.
Logan's will be short. 1t is expected that the
general plan of the campaign will be one of
the subjects of conference between Mr.. Blaine
and Gen. Logan.
