JUST FITS THE PRESENT CASE.

That was Precisely Lne question IN
vOlved in this case. Now, be continued,
let IL be true that this was not the sub
stantiVe executive power vested by the
constitution in the President alone, let it
be true tAat, like the power Of appoint
ment, the senate shared with the Presi-
dent the power Of removal.
Let it be true that the power OF removal
was legislative power, and not an
executive power, and that the entire
regulation OF IL belonged alone TO Con-
gress under the constitution. Let all that
he true, and he would now call the atten-
tion of the Senate to the expediency ana
practicability Of such power being sx-
ercised by the Senate.

Contemplated Improvements in Back
Cove

At the request Of the city the Harbor Com
mission Saturday afternoon established a line
two hundred feet beyond the located margin
al way as the inner limit of the proposed
ship channel to be dredged by the Govern
ment. This line extends from behring's
bridge to Tukey's bridge, and will, when
completed, give a water front about three
thousand feet in length. Major Smith be-
lieyes that the commerce of Portland requires
it without delay. The recent alterations in
the Grand Trunk draw, so as to admit vessels
of greater width to enter Back Cove, make
the dredging of this channel all the more ur-
gent The plan of the channel has had ref
ence to taking in vessels of great length, hence
there are no sharp bends or curves in the line
established. Congressman Reed was present
and said there could be no doubt of the deci-
ded benefit of this channel to the business
and commerce of Portland, and said he would
do what he could to get an appropriation at
this session of Congress.

Killed in an Elevator.

Saturday morning John Mccarthy, aged IS
years, son of Florence p Mccarthy, 81 Fore
street, who had been employed about two
weeks in the finishing department of d.
White & Sons brush factory started from
the third story in the elevator, upon which a
large load of brushes was placed. The ele-
vator started for the basement at rapid
pace. Mccarthy seized the brake rope and
tried to slacken the speed, but the elevator
did not bring up until it reached the cellar.
When it struck the basement floor the force
was such that an iron an inch in diameter
that holds the weight was snapped short off,
and large beam on the elevator top also
was broken in two. The beam was directly
over McCarthy's head and the broken end
came down with terrible force, striking the
young man on the ribs and crushing them in.
Mccarthy was picked up insensible and tax
en- in Rich's ambulance to the hospital, where
he died about O'Clock in the afternoon The
physicians say one of the broken ribs pene-
trated the lungs. Coroner Gould and DR..
Moulton were called, but an inquest was
deemed unnecessary.
