Superintendent Harrington and wife The build
ings, and in fact everything connected with the
school, they found in most excellent order. Among
the more important of the recent improvements
are the new steam heating apparatus and the
ventilation boxes. The steam pipes and boiler
were put in by Mr. w. III. Pennell OF this city.
The method of ventilation is the very best for
large rooms, and its advantage is particularly
noticeable in the general school room. After din
ner the boys assembled in the school room and
listened to interesting remarks from Governor
Robbie and Mr.. Little. The trustees expressed
themselves well satisfied with the Improvements
and the general appearance of the buildings, all
of which speaks well for the management OF
Superintendent Harrington and his efficient assist
ant, Mr.. Wentworth.

Owen. Moore & Co., issue their bulletin in re-

tent of their stock their announcement is very
modest. They show goods on three floors this
year and are then badly crowded This stock
they have been collecting since early summer; in
fact, about as soon as our Christmas is over they
commence to buy for the next In this way the
most desirable goods are secured and at prices
which admit of frst-class goods being sold al
same or less price than inferior qualities would be
if bought now. Everybody will probably see the

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
WAS HE A COWARD?


STANDIsH, Dec. T. 1885.
To the Editor ofthe Press:
The military drama entitled '.Was He a
Coward played by Charles A. Warren Post G.
A. R., is meeting with good success here and
crowded houses greet it. This is new and thrill.
ling drama made up of beautiful and exciting
scenes from the first to the last act and all who
witness it are more than satisfied. Great credit
is due to Mr. L. C. Harmon, the manager who has
procured and brought out the play under many
difficulties. The different parts are well commit
ted and the acting excellent; There is comedy
enough in the play to make 1t lively; the counting
scene between Cato and Dinah, and the Dutch
and Irish characters, are immense, and bring out
rounds of applause. The death OF Wellman and
the parting of Haywood from mother and sister
when he leaves for the army, are affecting scenes
and splendidly brought out. The escape of Hay
wood and Wellman from the rebel prison. and
Haywood defending himself over the dead body
of his friend and comrade, wildly Dortrays the
courage and darelng that characterlzlng the
brave boys in blue, and if can be safely said that
in plot, conception and acting the play far sur
passes anything of dramatic kind ever produced
in this vicinity The tableaux are fine and artist
cally arranged especially Columbia in her hour
of peril victory, and the angel of peace represent
ed by Mrs. Maggie Dow. 1t is understood that
this drama will be played in all the adjoining
towns and none should fail Of witnessing it.

Mr.. Hobbs desired complete sale of the land

Mayor Deerng stated that the road did not

Alderman Noyes called attention to the fact
that this was compromise to avoid a long law

Alderman Gallagher thought that in the event
of law suit the legal claims were not in favor Of
the city. The Maine Central should be met half
way. 1t is almost a local corporation, and should
work in cooperation with the city. The alderman
believed in placing confidence in the committee.

The Portland daily press., 1885-12-08

Hans L. Mortensen was appointed weigher of

Mayor Deering then said that it seemed to him
the Council must have been laboring under some
misapprehension in regard to the order on the
Maine Central lot The passage of the original
order for the conveyance of the land to the Maine
Central for $4,000 with the proviso in regard to
the workshops was by unanimous vote of the
City Council Since that time the railroad com
pany has acquired ROADS in the eastern part of the
State which has made change in their plans 1t
is probable that the shops will never be moved to
Portland if their present location is changed. The
committee of the road was very frank with the
committee from the city government and gave
Them as far as could be learned, all the facts in
the case. This land lies to the westward of the
railroad tracks and if taken by the city and cut
up into house lots must be approached over those
tracks, In getting at what would be a fair price
for the land, the committee examined the land
already bought by the road in the vicinity and
based their estimate on the price paid. For the
land bought of Thompson & Fowler $500 was
paid per acre, and this is better land than the
city's. The committee from the railroad had at
first thought $4,000 fair price.
Alderman Moves said that he had had consider
able experience in real estate and thought the
terms advantageous to the city. The land is not
available for use by the city;
MT. Hobbs said that the Council had been given
TO understand no land had been bought in the vi
Mt Shaw said that no land had been bought TO
Nayor Deering said that while the papers had
not heen nassed the representatives OF the road
declare themselves bound to complete the sale.
