The Harbor Commissioners yesterday at an
adjourned hearing denied the petition of the
Cape Elizabeth Ferry Company to build
wharf where they wanted to build one. They
did not undertake to decide the questions at
issue between this company and the owners of
adjoining property, who demonstrated against
the erection Of the wharf; but only declared
that the proposed location was too near the
wharf OF the Railway Company and did not
isave room enough for such dock az will
probably be needed when that water front ia
developed. They declare that wharf should
mot be built within rs feet OF the Railway
wharf. 1t is understood that they would not
object to the erection of ~ wharf If placed
far enough to the eastward, and the company
will probably file another petition.
At meeting Of the directors of the PEOPLES
Ferry Co., which was held Saturday evening,
Capt. A. w. Smart and VIM. Spear, ESQ.,,

ing place in Portland. The committee are
looking over the ground, but have no place

Police Board Examination.

An examination of candidates for the police
force was held in the common council chamber
OF the city building last evening. Seventeen
candidates were present and filed applications.
Judge Goddard stated that owing to the abb
sence of DIR. Thayer, the examination would
be held without frst subiecting the candidates
to physical examination. DR.. Thayer will
hold the physical examination next Friday
evening at the same place.
The questions last evening were based upon
the statements made in the several applica-
tions. The family history of the candidates,
together with its effect upon their actions, was
rigidly scrutinized, and questions were asked
In regard to the family of the applicant and
the number OF his children. In their enquiries
as to the use of liquor by the applicants
the board was especially exact Judge God
dard explained that while he did not wish to
enter into any discussion of the morality of
mans drinking an occasional glass of liquor, it
should be remembered that policeman is the
guardian and censor of the public morals, and
should he be obliged to arrest man who had
been drinking deeply, while his breath smelt
of the liquor he had just taken himself, it
would have an obviously bad effect. Several
OF the candidates had to be enlightened upon
the legal meaning Of the word residence, and it
is probable that the application of the law may
throw them ont.
In reply to questions as to their motives in
entering their applications, the men generally
replied that times were dali and they thought
that position on the police force would be of
pecuniary advantage to them. Only one man
had served on police force as regular officer
before. A searching examination failed to re-
veal any irregularity in his conduct or resigna-
tion which was shown to have resulted from
family causes.
The examination last night was continued
until late hour, when the candidates were
dismissed until Friday night at 7.3O. The ap-
plications for blanks have been coming in fast
five being made in some cases in one day.
Judging from this fact and the progress made
In the work, it appears that the board has
summers job before it.

A signiacant stree, Iucideu,.

Early Saturday evening two we'll dressed
young girls staggered down Summer street,
Boston, both Of them almost too drunk to walk
Several street rowdies followed them, making
sport of their condition. Near the corner of
High street they were espied by two fellows in
buggy. These rsscals induced the younger
Of the two girls, only 10 years old, to get into
the team. They were about to drive away
with her, when fortunately Patrolman Rankin
OF Division came along He compelled
the scoundrels to surrender their half uncon-
sclous prisoner, and then he took both girls to
the station house. The younger girl there gave
the name of Annie Conlan. She said that five
months ago she ran away from her home in
Boston and joined one of the female polo
teams which has been playing in New England
skating Kinks, including Portland. She was
paid $40 week and her expenses, and said
she liked the life she was living. Her COM
panion, Alice Gordon, an assumed name, is
two years older and member of the same polo
club, but did not run away to join it. The
girls were locked up on a charge of drunken
ness. The police sought In vain to learn where
they had procured their liquor.
