A correspondent writes the PRESS complain
ing of the manner in which the contractors Of
the new sewerage system in Old Orchard have
done their work 80 far as they have gone,
claiming that the water soaks through and
prevents the cement from hardening, that the
pipes have been badly jointed, and that the
contractors bonds, for $1,000, were never
signed.
We are informed the contractors took the
contract at very low figure, not anticipating
much ground water. The excessive amount of
rain the past season made the ground water
unusually high: something over two feet. The
contractors were not prepared to meet that
difficulty, and probably found they must prose-
cute the work at a loss. When they found
they were to be held to the grades, and proper
cement joints upon the pipes, and were told
their manner of doing the work was unsatis-
factory, they notified the town they had aban-
doned the work. The contract and bonds
acre signed, and the town considers the con-
tractors are held responsible. The town has
decided to prosecute the work On the original
plans, by day labor. and has employed efficient
overseers and workmen,

Quite large number of people gathered at
the Eastern railway station in this city at 12.-
80 p. m. yesterday to see the Blaine Club off

Il and AZ, all comfortably warmed, rested on a
side track and these were quickly taken by the

Manchester Haynes, Col. 81. s. Osgood land Col.

THE AR . SOCIETY.
Their Exhibition of Paintings for the
Monument Fair.


The committee from the Society of Art, ap-
pointed to collect an exhibition of fine paint
ings for the benefit of the Monument Fair,
have secured the finest collection that has been
seen in Portland for years. There are about
one hundred pictures, and are being hung at
the Art Building under the charge of Mr., H.
B. Brown, chairman of the committee. The
exhibition will open promptly at noon on Mon
day,and should draw an extended patronage.
A reporter for the PRESS visited the Art
Building yesterday, and although everything
was in confusion, gathered some idea of the
excellence of the display. There is. among the
collection. Merson's great painting Of
cleopatra on her way to meet Antony" 8
large canvas on which the Egyptian queen is
seen floating down the Cydnes surrounded BY
her attendants. The picture revels in brilliant
coloring. Then there is Venetian scene by
Felix Zain, in which the blues and yellows are
handled as no other artist dsres attempt. The
picture is decidedly Tivrneresque. Schreyer's
"Arab chiefs viewing a bomhardment." is a
splendid specimen of this artists sumptuous
coloring and strong drawing. Weeks has had
several of his pictures on exhibition in this
city on former occasions, and they are now
owned by some of our cit tzens. La this collec-
tion will be found his "Sword Sharpener," one
of his best efforts, which is stroug in all its
Moorish detail. Cluys, at the head of the Ba-
varian School, exhibits marine in which the
craft are Holandishi in style. Verboeckhoven

ing-The Afternoon Game Broken Up
by Drunken Row.
About 800 people gathered at Presumpscot
PARK yesterday forenoon to witness the game
between the Dirigos and the Tremorts Of Bos
ton. The air was very chilly and 1t must hay a
affected both clubs for they played looss
game and many errors we're made. The Tre-
moops excelled ia batting, but the Dirigos'
fieldiag was fac.
The new battery of the Dirigos, appeared
for the first time; the pitcher was fair and
catcher ordinary. Tho Tremonts battery was
excellent; an old ball player remarking tba.
better catcher he never saw play in this sec
ton.
The game resulted to in favor of the Bos-
ton club.
The umpire, Mr.. Batchelder, as usual, gave
excellent satisfaction.
AFTERNOON
The attempted game between the Dirlgos
and Bowdons in the afternoon was disgrace.
full failure. There were perhaps a thousand
people on the ground, and no arrangement Is
were made to preserve order. The crowd con-
tinually pressed up nearly to the base lines aad
took possessian of portions of both fields. Sew
srAi times the Bowdoins refused TO play unes,
the crowd was forced back, bat seeing attempts
TO keep it in order were fruitless went on with
the game.
The striking positions were not marked off
nor was the pitchers position, and O'Brien was
generally about two feet in front of the pitch
er's box when ne delivered the ball. In the
fifth inning after the Bowdoins had made six
runs, Grady gave out and Soule of Freeport
was substituted. The playing OF the Dirigos
was frishnully loose and the score stood 10 tc &
IN favor OF the Bowdoins when they finished
their half of the fifth. Then row began among
come Of the roughs in the audience. The crowd
surged about than and onto the field. taking
possession OF the grounds and stopping the
game. Thus far the Bowdoins, had endured
matters, but this apparently satisfied them and
they left the field. Several versions of the
umpire's decision on the result of the game
were rumored. Probably he declared 1t off
for not enough innings had been played to
make out game.

said to the reporter: 1.-THE North
ern Pacific business is fully up to
expectations. The company will
earn this year interest on its first
and second mortgage bonds, the
sinking fund payment and S per
cent. on its preferred stock. The
stock will be selling at par inside
of eighteen months. The Northern
Pacific will earn more money in the
first year of its completion than
either the Union or Central Pacific
did after they had been built three
years. and the earnings will in
crease each year two or three mil

the facts connected with the Hoqui.

Mr.. Ballard allowed a change of
venue without opposing the same.
This, We find by calling on the pros
ecuting witness was an unfair state
ment. We were told also that Mr..
Ballard was responsible for the cases
being sent to Mr.. Luark's Court.
We find that it was the choice OF the
prosecuting witness that they should
go to that Court.

EDrroR OF MoNTEsANo TEMPERANCE De.
PARTMEST, STANDARD:
Dear Sir: In last weeks issue of
the Vdcti,' l noticed an article under
the caption of Bits of Inside His
tory" in which it is stated that some
peculiar discrepancy exists between
a certain portion of the records of
the Board OF Commissioners where it
relates to the granting of liquor H.
censs to j. L. and Il. P. Waldron
and the proceedings of the Board
where it relates to the same matter
rs published in the IiidtHe officially.
Allow NE to say, first of all, the pro-
ceedings of the Board rs officially
published. is u copy, I'D rerbat,m et
iaerot'm, Of the same, which was
duly read. and approved by the
board and sisned by its chairman on
the last day Of its session, held in
February. 1884. As to why the min
utes read rs they do, in this case,
can be very easily and plainly stated.
The document published in last
weeks issue as the application or Pc
tition, Of the above named parties
asking for license, is only one OF

four papers presented in the case of
each applicant, all of which COM
bined make complete application
The law evidently contemplates that
the person or firm asking for Ii.
cense will locate the traffic at some
particular point, and not keep sa-
loon on wheels, travelling about like
q milk wagon or peddler's wagon,
selling any or everywhere in the pre-
clnct or county, and to this end re-
quires that each applicant shall pre-
sent to the Commissioners the writ
ten consent of the owner or lessor of
the building or premises where such
saloon or drinking house is to be
located as was done by the Wal.
drons, of which the following is a
certified copy:
MoNTEsANo, Chehalis county,
W. T., Feb. I, 1854.
We hereby consent that license
TO carry on a saloon on lot 5, of
block 2, of Montosano, Chehalis
county, W. T., should be issued. and
l declare we are the owners in fee
simple Of the above described prem.
ises. JOHN L. WALDRoN,
r. p. WALDRoN.
SO it certainly seems from the
foregoing that the Waldrons in sub
stance ask FOR license 70 issue, to
sell on the above described premises,
and nowhere else; and, if in the
other license cases referred to, the
matter was stated more briefly, it
was simply because the minutes wero
not made as full as they should have
been. Respectfully yours,
MAGILL.
