Annual Meesing-Reports of the OmeoEs,
and the Annual Election.

The annual meeting Of the Portland Rail-
road Company was held at the library room,
Mech snics building, at 8 p. m. yesterday,
President Wheeler in the chair. The follow

DIRECTORS REPORT.
GENTLEMEN: More than the usual amount
of work has been done on the Deering track,
buildings and grounds during the past year.
Some Of the most important items are as fol-
lows:
At the Maine Central Railroad station at
WoodfoYd's the Horse Railroad owned neither
land, stable nor car house, and was compelled
to keen from two to four cars exposed on the
street, night and day, summer and winter.
The stable used by the company was located at
some distance, with the railroad tracks of both
tho Maine Central and Portland & Rochester
roads between the company's stable and cars.
Land was purchased adjoining the Maine Cen
tral station, and track and stable to accom-
modste eight horses, and car house sufficient
to hold three or four cars, were erected upon
this land, and a well blasted from the solid
rock; all costing about $1,000.
A long spur track was run from our main
track across the street to the Maine Central
station and thence into the car house. This
was much needed, and vas found very great
convenience.
There was dwelling house upon and be-
longing to the land, renting for six dollars q
month, which belongs to the company, and
was not removed, as there was vacant land

WASHINGTON, Jan. q.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q.
The question as to whether or not We shall
have tariff bill at this session, and whether
one will pass, If it is framed and presented,
continues to agiiate the congressional breast.
Now that the opportunity is offered the Democ-
racy to make record on the question there
are SO many timorous souls who advise moder-
alton, that it is difficult for them to determine
what to do.
"The fault isn said Congressman O'Neill Of
Missouri, as he manipulated his toothpick az
ter comfortable dinner at Willard's last eve
ming, "The fact is thai nobody can tell what is
to be done about the tariff, yet, cannot tell
you anything more about it than you know
yourself. You know, and the world knows,
that the House is divided on the tariff question
and SO is the committee on Ways and Means.
/ do not believe there is man living who can
predict with any certainty what will be done.
l do know this much about it, that nothing
has been done, and nothing will be done until
the Democrats hold caucus and iagree upon
some line of action.
"When will that be, Mr.. O'Neill?"
'rhat" hs replied with laugh, sis hard to
say. Perhaps within a week or two. Very
soon at any rate. Whatever Is done must be
done soon, as the pressure from the commercial
element of the country for a settlement of the
question in one way or another gains strength
daily"
"Do you think there will be horizontal
reduction of certain per cent on every thing,
as predicted by some?"
'sNo, 1 think not. A majority Of the Ways
and Means committee and q majority of the
House, favor placing specified articles on the
free list and reducing others, but will think
stoutly oppose any general legislation and gen.
eral sweeping reduction. suppose it will
have its effect on the Presidential campaign,
but that is subject on which / have not the
time to enter now"
eyes, that's about all that can be said on the
subject at present." said Mr.. Morrison, o. Hi.
nois, referring to Mr.. O'Neilps talk, few min
utes later. There is nothing to add at present
What time will develop in this question none
of us can tell"
THE WOMEN sUFFRkGIsTs.
The National Woman Suffrage Association
has called its annual convention, to be held in
Washington on March 4th, 9th, and 9th "For
fifteen years we have been coming up here, =
said Miss Anthony, talking of the convention
and the present Congress, "holding our annual
sessions here. This is to be our sixteenth an
| nusl convention in Washington"
Don't you get discouraged with so long
| waiting, Miss Anthony"

LONDON, Jan 21-The Times says Gen. Cor
don goes straight to Suakim, via the Canal. He
will meet Sir Evelya Barring, the British con-
sui General, at Suez, and come to an agree
ment in regard TO the cooperation Of the Eng
lIsh authorities in Egyt as far as may be neces-
sary. Moussa, Chief of the Haderdowa tribe,
whose sons General Gordan saved from death,
to which they had been condemned by the
Egyptian officials for having committed raids,
will be summoned to Suakm, and Gen. Cor
don will go under his escort 10 Khartoum,
where he will assemble the heads of tue tribes,
and announce that he has come on behalf of
England to restore their liberty and remove
the adV6Dtur6rS VINO nave O660 bn6 curse OF
the country, He will also inform the chiefs
that the slave trade must cease. AS soon as
he has finished his task in Soudan he will go
to the Congo country and deal with the slave
trade at its headquarters. Gen. Gordon ex-
poets to be Ave months in Soudan. The King
OF the Belaians has asked the English Govern
ment to send him two English officers to act in
General Gordon's place in the Congo country
until Gen. Gordon is ready to fulfill bis en-.
gagement.
4 dispatch to the Times from Khartoum,
dated January 49, says; 1t is reported here
that number OF dervishes near here have
summoned the people to join El Mahdi. A
great army is expected to arrivesin 10 daSs
English sovereigDs, which we're recently pop
ular in the bazaars, are now refused or are on

The Times says that 1.-The fevacuation Of
the Soudan south of Khartoum is the condition
precedent of all healthy reorganiz 4tion of tn,
country. A mass OF Egyptian soldiers, whict
an official has estimated at forty thousand, ba
been let loose upon the country in the name o
Occupation" This lawless horde of plumber
ers, the Tines adds, must evscuate the Soudai
before that country can become tranquil.

THE DOMINION
Hooking toward Reciprocity.

TORONTO, Jan. 21.-A special to the Mail,
the government organ, from Ottawa says the
movement on the part of an association COM
posed Of business men of large influence in the
United States, to procure reciprocal arrange
ments between that country and Canada in re-
gard to coal and iron ores, is one that indicates
to a certain extent at least the desire OF busi-
ness men of the United States to trade With.
Canada on fair and equal terms. The move
ment is in direct and complete accord with the
present fiscal policy of Canada. In the parti-
cular instance of the de tlegation from the
OF Finance Saturday, it may be said on the
part of Canada that while they are ens aged in
an agitation of this kind they might with bene-
fit to both countries include lumber and salt,
and thus make four articles ia which there
shoald be reciprocity.

BELLAIRE, Ohio, Jan. 21.-James Giffen a
young farmer of York township, invited his
neighbors to a butcher yesterday. After the
party gathered a fire was started with logs in
an old cabin that had been torn down last
spring and the logs spilled up for future use.
When the fire had been burning for some time
a young man noticed that one of the logs was
hollow, and taking poker he gave it punch.
To the surprise and astonishment of all pres

fire. The logs we're rapidly pulled off the fire
and general search was made. Gold pieces

suicide in Biddeford.

BIDDEFORD, Jan. 21.-Mary S. Plunket, O
weaver in the Pepperell mill, committed sui
eide this morning by taking corrosive subli-
mate. Mrs Geo. 81. Batchelder, who, with
her family, lives in the tenement over the VIC
tim, was awakened few minutes past O'Clock
in the morning by loud rappings on the wall of
the room below, and hurriedly dressing, she
descended to ascertain their cause. Entering
the kitchen, she found Mary Plunket writhipg
upon the lounge, with hands tightly clnching
its back, and vomiting profusely. She was
evidently in terrible agony, and for a few sec
onds did not speak. Then she said, with diff

physician was summoned, but on bis ar
rival the woman, for long tine, refused to
tell what she had taken. She, however, after
ward admitted that she had taken corrosive
sublimate, but, although piled with questions,
stoutly refused to say anything that would re-
veal the reason for the deed. She became
calm after while, and died a comparatively
painless death, about half-past seven O'Clock.
She came from England ten years ago, where
she is said to have wealthy relatives. She has
been Respondent for some time, the cause of
which is unknown, bat supposed to be disap-
pointment in love. She was about 40 years of
age and lived alone.

BERWICK, Jan. 21.-Edmund E. Grant,aged
about 20 years, youngest son of the late Ste
phen Grant of this town, was murdered Satur-
day night in Great Falls. A row was in prog
ress in p tenement house on Marke street, oc-
cupied by several French families. Thirty or
forty people had been attracted to the spot by
the screams of woman for help. Grant and
another young man entered the house to aid
her, when just as the former opened the door
of the room whence the screams proceeded,
Frenchman inside threw at, or struck him
with tea kettle, crushing in the side of his
head and killing him instantly. Officers were
soon there, and took into custody two French
men, whom, they are confident, are the MUIR
derers. Mr.. Grants remains were removed
this morning to his mothers house, where fu-
neral services will be held tomorrow.

of the cold snap on the 8th inst. was sensational
and wide of the truth. Some orange orchards
we're touched with the frost, hut today there is
not an orchard owner in the country who will

it is thought in the southern part of tine
