DAMAGE DONE
By Sunday Evenings Heavy How The Winds Big FrOllc-The Liberty

AHo 1uN'o EIOAC-AAo
 PoIe-Efects All About Town.
 The high wind Sunday evening, which danced around in imitation of a typhoon, swept with such power against the topmast of the liberty pole on the Green that it sue
 cumbed and tottered and fell. It lay at full length, 50 feet, near the band stand yester- day morning. Lots of people yesterday took look at the dismembered liberty pole.
 Superintendent Andruss had his hands full yesterday seeing to the carting off of rot ten limbs that had fallen on the public squares and on the streets. Two carts full were taken away from the old Green.
 Where the upper piece of the liberty pole fell four electric lights were dragged down with it and the Green was plunged in dark ness Men were st work yesterday after noon fixing the wires.
 Superintendent Andruss received 8 note yesterday noon to call at a house on Ex- change street, Fair Haven. This was where big tree about two feet in circumfer- ence tottered and fell against house, caus- ing great dismay and alarm to the inmates end damage to the building.
 Also big tree in front of the residence of Herrick F. Frost's residence on Chapel street, near St. PauTs church, had several large limbs blown off and 1t looked as If 1t had been through the war.
 The wind also blew with such force as to
 dislodge and blow inward the circular stained glass window ornamenting the front of the First Congregational church, Fair Haven The window struck on the floor of the Sun I day school room and was smashed to "smith- ereens' The rain then dashed furiously in ! the opening and did damage to the carpets, | etc., to the amount of about $100. Broken or partly shattered chimneys were l quite numerous about town yesterday morn | ing.
 About half of the west fence of the Ed wards street school house was blown partly l over into a leaning condition. A teacher | there illustrated the position of the leaning | tower of Pisa by pointing the scholars to the l leaning fence. The illustration was greatly enjoyed by the boys, who immediately want l ed school to adjourn so that they could set the I fence up straight.

seannen,s Friend sociery.


The treasurer of the Portland Seamen'S
Friend Society has just made his annual report.
The whole expenditures for the year ending
Dec. 81, 1883, were i,S52.4O. viz: Church ex-
penses of the Bethel, including reading room
and care of the house. 81 200; sailors libraries,
$77.67; care of needy seamen, $2183; fuel, gas
and oil, $3.50; general expenses, $21.40.
This money was collected, $4l645 from vari-
GUS churches in the State of Maine; S453 from
merchants and others in Portland ;S265.61 from
Bethel church and Sunday school contribu-
tions. This statement shows SPIT "a short.
Many of the old friends Of the Bethel have
passed away, leaving none to fill their places.
New objects have arisen to claim attention, SO
that it seems necessary to awaken in benevol-
emit people an interest in the society. The ter
ribe dangers to which seamen are exposed,
and the precious interests of property and life
committed to their trust, render their charac-
ter and welfare Of primary importance.
Twenty-Five new libraries have been put up
this year, bringing the number at this port up
to 800, containing about 1000 volumes of good
books. The seventy odd dollars above charged
to the library account does not include the
pastors time in making book cases and filing
them, and other work incidental to this depart
ment. These libraries sent abroad are on fish
ermen and coasters, and give good account Of
themselves.
The citizens of Portland are worthy of great
credit Tor generous contributions of books, pa
pers and magazines, some 1,400 packages of
which have been put on shipboard the past
year Among magazines Harpers Monthly is
most priced. Entire volumes are bound for the
libraries.
Let our citizens remember this good use for
literature, and drop postal to Mr. South
worth, who will gladly call and receive such
gifts

Much anxiety is felt at Pine Point in regard
TO the fate of the Gloucester vessel, which left
Portland November 26th, bound for West
India port, loaded with lumber. Nothing has
been heard from Der since and she has been
given up bv the owners as lost. Her comman-
der, Captain Cook of Provincetown, married a
daughter of Enoch Snow, who for many years
was resident of Scarboro, and well known in
Saco and Biddeford Mrs. Cook died in Prov
incetown about two years ago. The first mate,
Mr.. Williams, married Laura, another daugh-
ter of Mr.. Snow, and she with her child, about
six years old, was On board the Inflated YES
sci. Her three brothers and other relatives at
Pine Point still entertain the hope that they
may have been taken off by some foreign
bound vessel, and there is posi- bility of yet
hearing from them.

Graves, Corresnondence.

Postmaster Goddard says that the Washing
ton despatch in yesterdays morning papers in
reference to Graves letters is incorrect. No
inquiry has been made by him in regard to the
disposal of Graves mail, and he has had no
correspondence with the department ON the
subject. III he had occasion to ask for instrnc-
tons, the postmaster would not have expected
to receive an answer through the newspapers
For obvious reasons it has not been the prac-
tice of the government of the United States to
communicate in advance to newspaper report
ers its replies to the inquiries of its officers,
particularly in relation to alleged violation of
its laws.
The Advertiser learns that Postmaster God
dard has directed large number of Graves

rotary. The committee appointed at the pre-
vious meeting to select rooms for the head

make full report. They proposed establish
ing convenient rendezvous at slight expense
at the foot of some wharf where storage room
and lockers could be provided. About 800
postals, asking yachtsmen to join the New
England Association, had been sent out, and
100 answers had been received. The assembly
then took up the consideration of the Yacht
ing Association. To the officers already elect
ed, James P. Phiuney of the Boston Club

The lecture delivered last evening by Mr..
Morrill, was upon the History of the Steam
Engine" The speaker said that the first idea
OF utilizing steam was that of Hero, who
constructed globe, made to revolye by steam
pushing the air from two openings. This was
ONO practical use, and served merely as toy
The second advance in steaa was made by De
Caus in 1915, although his discovery amounted
to but little. But the first of any use was in
vented by Edward Somerset, Marquis of
Worcester, who made an engine in the year
1850 of something the plan of DeCaus Soon
after the safety valve was invented by Pappan,
Frenchman. In the year IT'S Newcomers, a
blacksmith, with the aid of man by the
name of Canley, invented steam pump,
which pumped six or seven strokes minute.
Although this was very primitive affair, yet
it was considered very valuable, as before this
period water had been pumped entirely by
hand, which was very laborious process in
mines. He then told of the invention of
james Watts, who is supposed by some to be
the first inventor of the steam engine. The
working of the modern engine was explained,
and small one set in motion.
The lecture was very entertaining and in
struetiye, and was we'll attended by intel
ligent citizens of the city.

Portland has city government which is
made up of unusually sharp Yankees. They
never let an opportunity slip to butter their i'm
dividual parsnips. Their salaries are not
princely, but they keep sharp eye out for the
perquisites. Last spring they excited the envy
of the small boys on Centre street, by voting
themselves gold badges aud free passes into all
the circuses and monkey shows, and now they
have voted that the telephone company ought
to furnish them with the free use of nine or
eleven telephone instruments. They evident
ly believe in free ballot. AS election day is
near at hand, it will soon be in order for some
free voting to be done by the common sense
