of teams started to follow the remains to
their last resting place. In one of the car

and seventy five years. When the line of
teams arrived a, the crossing above men,
toned FIVE or six of them passed safely over
and as the two old people drove upon the
track their carriage was struck BY the in-
coming mail train and they were hurled into
ditch by the side of the railroad Mrs

futile was badly injured. The horse was
Killed and the carriage broken in pieces.
The tram was Immediately stopped but
when the men reached Mrs. Tutte she was
just breathing her last. The old gentleman
and the remains Of his unfortunate wife
were at once taken TO a neig hboring house.
The engineer Of the train saw the team as
it was approaching the crossing and whis-
tied sharply and also reversed the lever Of
the locomotive. The old people were some

Business in Maine.

Secretary NJ " Rich. Of The PoT,.ard

statement Of the condition Of business
throughout the state FOR the last quarter;
Most branches Of business have been very

do not anticipate any perceptible changes
in this branch of business here the pre- sent
season on account Of the termination Of the
treaty, nor do look for reciprocal trade re
lations between the United States and
= ~
both countries would better prosper under
equitable reciprocal business intercourse.
The III nber interests have as a whole a
prosperous outlook. Spring drives have as
sured an ample supply Of stock, and VII! no
doubt be sufficient for steadily increasing
shipping demand at fair prices.
the shipping interests have suffered such
further depression as to render navigation
an UMPIRE htable investment. and the pro-
speet Is that but few new vessels will be
built in Maine this wear, and those confined
chiefly to large class schooners.
The crops are generally represented as
looking well throughout the State, though
considerable wet weather has curtailrd the
acreage seeded especially of potatoes. The
hay crop will probably be full million tons
throughout the State, which is probably be-
low the average OF the past three years, but
in view Of good crops elsewhere, prevailing
prices will scarcely be disturbed.
The manufacturing interest Of this State
is fairly prosperous, with more disposition
to economic the supply 10 actual demand,
and the same will apply TO machine shops.
There are comparatively few mechanics in
this State out of work as compared with
other States.

Work Of Reform.

The Boston Adeerfisers Washington cor
respondent relates gross case of violation
Of the civil service law in which Appoint
ment Clerk Higgins, First Auditor Cheno-
with and Congressman Warner of Ohio are
implicated. Mr.. Chenowith wanted a clerk
and four names were sent to him, among
them that Of Owen kelar of Cleveland,
Ohio. who had passed the civil service ex-
animation and stood highest on the list
Chenowth selected kellar, but when the
latter presented himself for assignment,
Higgins told him he was not wanted. The
First Auditor subsequently told keIIar that
he had received information that he was a
Republican, and that his appointment would
be very Objectionable TO certain people
When asked for names Auditor Chenowith
said that Congressman Warner had request
ed him to suspend action, and had filed
charges signed by about 20 persons, alleg-
ing that kellar was insulting in his political
talk to both men and women, aud that he
had passed the civil service examination
through the influence of Congressman
TAYLOR, the Republican member of the dis
triet. Kellar admitted that he was Re
publican, whereupon Chenowiih told him
that if he was appointed he would discharge
him. The next two lowest on the list would
he said, be satisfactory to Gen. Warner, as
they were democrats. By the civil service
law il is made misdemeanor punishable
by fine or imprisonment for any person to
willfully or corruptly furnish special or
secret information for the purpose of in
juring or improving the chances of any
person examined by the commission, being
appointed or promoted. Gen. Warner.
therefore. is clearly liable to prosecution.
As for Higgins and Chenowith they have
both violated the spirit of the law, if not its
letter, and ought not to have place longer
under an administration making civil SER
vice reform professions.

The Albany journal remarks. SIT
must have amused the New York importers
who called on President Cleveland, Wednes-
day, about the New York Collectorship to
hear him say that Buffalo money is as good
as New York money, and when the purchas-
ing power of the Buffalo merchants money
is not as good as that of the New York i'm
porter it is time to ask why" Perhaps the
President does not know the difference be-
tween New York importer, Who orders by
the cargo from the manufacturer and a
Buffalo merchant who buys goods BY the
case of the jobber; perhaps he does not
know that New York merchants often con-
tract for the sole agency in the United States
Of entire lines of goods, and that no Buffalo
money can import these goods directly or
as cheaply as it can buy them in New
York. There is the same difference between
the Buffalo merchant and the New York i'm
porter that there is between the crude poll
tician who happens to be lifted into power
and doesn't know what to do with himself,
and the finished statesman who knows what
craftsmanship is. To put it with ma,he-
NAUTICAL precision As the Buffalo merchant
is to the New York importer, so is Ceve-
land to Jefferson"

How Portland was Named.

The san Francisco Weekly CaH SAYS:
"One of the earliest pioneers Of Oregon
passed through this city few DAYS ago re-
turning from a trip through Southern Cali
iurnia. The gentleman i upward Of 40 wears
of age, but hale and hearty and to CAL re-
porter related some interesting facts about
the early history of Portland, Oregon. The
present condition of that city, the gentleman
sand, surpassed IN commercial and other
respects The most sangulne expectations Of
the first settlers. When he went there some
twenty wears ago, Portland was simpl, a
little village. AZ that time no lncorpoi alton
mad been made and the town had no name.
The all absorbing question to the inhabitants
was what to call It, There were Two fac
lions and much dlssension on the question
OF name. The leaders of the factions we're
respectively from Massachusetts aud Maine
They were two OF the original settlers, and
while the former insisted on naming tie
place after Boston, the latter was equally
urgent IN his demand that II should be call
ed Portland. There was no chance for an
election on the question, and in fact the
idea was not thought Of. Thus matters
stood for long time, the Boston man and
the Portland man becoming enemies through
the discussion.
Seeing that if the matter continued much
longer the place would never be christened
the citizens took hold of the matter, and the
novel plan was decided to settle the con-
troversy and name the metropolis of the
northwest. 1t was to toss up a copper cent.
heads or tails to win OF lose The plan was
presented TO the two leaders and they
agreed TO decide the matter in that wav. A
day was set apart, and almost the entire
population assembled to witness the "toss-
up" \ level spot .Iov in the centre OF the city
was selected, and the terms were three out
of five. Heads win,'' said the Boston man
and the copper went into the air. 1t came
down tails up, which was one trick for
Maine. The second toss was tie, and on
the fourth toss each man had two tricks,
The fifth time the copper came down the
Indian head in the dust, and thus the Port
land Of the west was named.

Accident on the Rail.
ONE OF BARsuN's TRAINS NEhrs WITH
QUITE An ACCIDENT Ar REEDS POND,

One of the trains Of Barnum, Bailey &
Hutchinson met with another severe acct
dent yesterday morning about one O'Clock,
says the Wing of Monday. The circus was
in Ellsworth, Saturday and the first train to
leave was made up Of sixteen cars carrying
the performers and their baggage, some OF
the vans and horses. Just before the train
reached Reeds Pond the coupling between
two Of the cars broke and the employees did
not notice the accident. The forward end
of the train stopped at the station aud in Z
moment more the rear cars came down the
grade and struck it with great force. The
shock rolled one Of the vans on to a man
named Shaugnessey from Woonsocket, r.
l., whois employed in the Commissary De-
partment, breaking his right leg and other
wise injuring him. W. c. Matthews, Of
Ivy City, u. c, Assistant Steward of the
circus, vas wounded terribly in the calf OF
his left leg and badly bruised. George
Shoulders, another employe was severely
injured. As soon as the accident occurred
a special train was sent to this city for q
physician who Immediately went to the
scene.

Work has begun at Hersey Retreat,
Stockton. Eleven men are engaged, and
$4,000 building will be erected. According
to the terms Of the Hersey bequest to the
Universalist church Of Bangor, chance will
be given the children of the favored Sunday
school to obtain fresh air on our beaches,
each year.
Mrs. Lindsay, said to be from Port
land, aged 90. died few days ago at cot
tage on the Alton Bay Advent camp grounds.
She was there three weeks and was sick two
days. She was living alone. She left no
papers stating where she was from. The
selectmen of the town have the body in
charge. They telegraphed all around for
information but cannot find any. The body
will be buried on the camp ground to-mor-
row, if not claimed previously. She had
$50 with her.
In the matter Of the claimants of the
$1,000 reward which was offered by Bath
for evidence which would lead to the arrest
and conviction Of the murderer of William
Lawrence, Judge Lbbey made his award
Tuesday. He finds that neither ofthe claim
ants is legally entitled to the reward on two
grounds: lst. The city has no legal power to
make such a contract. I'd. The evidence
does not show that either of the parties per-
formed all the requirements of the offer.
But the agreement subsequently gave him
power to divide the award among the par
ties according TO the equity of their claims
and the city was willing he should do so.
He therefore awards as follows: TO Benja-
min Gribben of Portland for himself and
Thomas O'Neil. $500; to William f. Reed Of
Bangor. $50; to Dennis Tracey of Bangor,
1925; to Michael Locey of Bath, S15.and to
ID. W. Johnson of Portland $50 The re-
naming $3.50 is to be retained by the city Of
Bath to reimburse it for what it paid to Mr..
Wood, the Boston detective. for valuable
evidence furnished by him and to pay the
expenses Of the referee. As Mr.. Bailey was
marshal of the city his expenses were paid by
it, and so he allows him nothing.

Washington Letter.


ASlfiSbTpN, -. u. july 4, 1850
The 4th of July was celebrated in Washing
ton with its usual din Of fire crackers. torpe-
does, calcium lights, and variety of new
tangled explosives, devil chasers, etc., which
modern inventive genius perverted has thrown
upon the market. The air was thick and SUI
phurous throughout the day, and night, and
the morning papers have a list OF about the
usual length of accidents more or less fatal.
The Presidents Fourth of July was the
quietest day he has spent in Washington. The
day was observed as holiday by nearly all Of
the members of the Cabinet, and the President
was untroubled by visitors of any sort; there
fore he was able to go through very large
number OF official documents awaiting his at
tention, and to make up his mind in regard TO
a considerable number of appointments. The
President, is however getting pretty tired. al
though he looks as well rs ever. and applies
himself rs constantly a. possible TO his official
duties. II is said to be- the Presidents inien-

and one or two friends alone, and while there
