TIE RAILROAD WAR.
lively Times ON The Thoroughfarss.

An ordinance of the city requires that, when
there are more than six inches of solid snow
and ice on the streets, the Portland Railroad
Company shall put their cars on ruhnefs, and
not attempt to clear tie tracks unless perms-
SION is given them by the proper authorities. 1t
Is well known that we have had for some time
back, considerable snow aud ice on the street
sufficient for good sleighing, but the horse car
tracks have been kept clear. Saturday, how.
ever, a thick northeast snow storm prevailed
aod By ten o'clock Considerable snow had fall
en-. The street committee and street commits
sioner advised the company to stop running
their pows and sieighs. The plows and sleighs
continued to run however.
Late in the afternoon the abuttots on the
liue from the corner cf Free and Congress
streets, or Congress square to the post office,
assembled and, as fast as the company cleared
the tracks and piled the snow up in front of
their stores, shoveed it back on to the tracks
By haltpart five O'Clock the company gave up
and went on to runners.
Tire company made mistake, evidently, in
clearing their tracks after so much snow had
fallen, because the snow is thrown to the sides
OF the street making the passage of s,eigbs on
either side of the tracks dangerous, as well as
making it almost impossible for customers in
sleigbs to draw up to the sidewalks In front of
stores without danger of their sleighs upsetting
The municipal authorities and not the abutL
tors were the proper persons 10 enforce the or
diuance. Still as they did not seem inclined
SO to do ths abuttors cannot be blamed very
much for their action.

Portland nIerchnut, sviudl.a.

The Lincoln County News says that the SEN
satiou of the week has been the disappearance
OF Captain Joseph Dewyea, proprietor of the
Hogg Island Summer resort near Damariscot-
ia. His store On the island was burned few
weeks ago and was insured for S., 800. Hay-
ing obtained SO, 100 of his insurance he left
town Friday morning of last week, ostensibly
TO come TO Portland to settle with his credit
ors. As he did not come here, suspicious were
aroused that something was wrong and this
seemed to be confirmed by the departure of his
family with their household effects Tuesday
morning. Their goods were shipped to Var
mouth, whittier the family also went. It is
supposed that Captain Dewyea is in Canada.
but that is a matter of conjecture. He is na-
tive of Nova Scotia, which has probably given
rise to the report that he has gone to tho Prov
incsF. His debts in Portland amount to about
three thousand dollars. He owes numerous
parties in Bremen and Waldoboro including
the Medomak National bank. 1t is estimate
that he had from six to ten thousand dollars
in his possession.
