Last Sunday night thieves succeeded IN
efecting an entrance to the c. 4 P..dePos
at Portland, station about l6 miles north
of this city. The entrance was effected oy
cutting q sash out of the window. The
drawers and desk were ransacked and also
the ticket case opened, but nothing was
taken excepting an umbrella. The thieves
were evidently after money exclusively, as
none of the tickets were taken. No clue
could be discovered that would lead to the
detection Of the guilty parties.

T0-NIGnT'S MEETING
Of Council to Elect City
Officers.
The Offices to be Filled and the Host
Of Candidates--A Free-for-
all Race.

This evening the new city Council will as
semble to select from among the host of can
didates in the field officers to serve the city
in various capacities for the ensuing term.
The offices in the gift of council are twenty
FIVE in number, as follows City Receiver,
City Solicitor, City Tax Collector, City
Health Officer, Superintendent Of the City
Prison and Assistant two Market Masters,
Lookup Keeper and Assistant, Weighmast-
ers and members of the Boards of Public
Works and Water Board and Gas Trustees.
In addition to these, the City Sergeant-elect
will be on hand with his appointments, nine
teen in number. To attempt to give
LIST OF THE CANDIDATES
for these offices is well nigh impossible.
There are probably one hundred of them all
told, many of whom are not combining them
selves to any one thing, but are running
sort of go-as-you-please for anything in
sight. This being the case there are neces-
sarily some bitter disappointments in store
for some, and no end of kicking may be
expected.
Last evening an informal gathering Of
Democratic members of Council was held
in the rooms Of the Young Mems Democrat
ic Club, on Market street, where the situa
ton was talked over and the sdvisability OF
going into
REGULAR CAUCUS
discussed. There was decided opposition
to nominations developed, for which var
ious reasons were gived, chief among them
the fact that q number Of members were
absent, and an indisposition among several
of those present to bind themselves to vote
for any one for any Office. One
gentleman, after the meeting, explained his
seton in these words:
II don't deny that objected to caucus
sui did all | could against it. l want to
be free to vote for whom please. am
democrat, but am not so bitter partisan as
to throw over good Republican for
bad Democrat, simply for the
sake OF the party. The city needs
THE BEST OFFICERS SHE CAN GET,
and | intend to vote for the best interests Of
the corporation"
Another, when approached on the SUB.
iect of his anti-caueus stand, said:
81 am going to vote for certain Republi-
cans, and i don't deny it. Republicans
helped to pull myself and other Democrats
through and l intend to return good deed
when can"
1t was suggested to him that the better
course would be to stick to the Democratic
candidates; that the policy Of voting for
Republicans was the why and wherefore Of
the defeat OF many worthy Democrats who
came before the people, relying on the ma
joriiy Of the party in this city to carry them
through, but who, when the votes came to
Be counted, were slaughtered in the interests
of some one from the opposition; but the
municipal statesman could not see things
in that light, and betook himself home
strong in the determination to ride free
lance this evening.

Owe, Two Thousand People Present During
the Eyening---New Attractions
at the Pavilion.

The opening of the Capitol skating rink
last evening was brilliant success and q
flattering tribute to the energy, perseverance
and good taste OF its proprietors. These
gentlemen had hoped that their efforts
would meet with fitting response from the
public, but they were totally unprepared for
the multitude which crowded the building
Immediately after the opening of the doors,
and which presently filed every available
inch of space, and continued to surge and
Jam about the entrance long after all hope
of gaining even glimpse Of the skaters
had fed. 1t was estimated that not less
than two thousand FIVE hundred persons
visited the building during the evening, Of
which number probably FIVE hundred to
eight hundred were skaters, and oil ex-
pressed the utmost satisfaction. The rink
presented a fine appearance, and was found
TO contain every convenience necessary tor
the comfort of skaters and Spectators.
