An Order to the Force from the

Marshal Andrews, by order of the Mayor.
sent the following order to the deputies Sat
urday, which was read to the various classes !:
CITY MARsHAL's OFFICE,
Jan. 16, 1886.
To the Deputy MdrShdls of Portland:
You will read the accompanying order to the
officers in their classes:
BENZ. +. ANDREWS, City Marshal.
To the Deputy MorShdls Of Portland:
Your attention is directed to alleged violations
of the rules and regulations of the department.
Information and complaint, to the effect that
policemen are seen in Shops hotels, stores, en-
CINE houses and any other places without apparent
cause, and in some instances for long time,
comes from so many sources that am convinced
of the fact of violations of the rules in this respect
by some of the officers.
The recent extremely cold weather may excuse
some of the violations named. But that IS no ex-
cuse for two officers to leave the street at the
same time.
More implicit obedience to the rules of the de-
partment must be required, and you are directed
to ascertain and report all violations of said rules.
Future violations will be punished with prompt
suspension from duty, with deprivation of pay If
not with more severe punishment.
Officers HuSSey and Eaton are hereby repri-
manded for being together in Falmouth Skating
Rink last night, and Officer AlonZo f. Harmon
for being in drug stores and engine houses for
longer periods and more frequently than duty
requires. By order of the Mayor,
BENZ. +. ANDREWS, City Marshal.

Saved by a Portland Man.

Capt B. j. Willard has received a letter
from his brother, Capt. Henry E. Willard of
the Portland schooner Apphia and Amelia
containing the facts of the rescue of three
men by Capt. Willard while his schooner
was at anchor off Guat Island below He'll
Gate in heavy gale. During the night a
cry was heard and the sehooner'S crew peer
ing into the darkness caught sight of small
boat drifting by. A rope was thrown to the
men in the boat but they were too numb to
get hold of it. On the schooner was 100
fathoms of running line, Capt Willard made
one end fast to boat lowered for him and
getting into tit succeeded in reaching the
drifting boat by sculling to leeward before
his line was all paid out. The men board
pulled with a will and drew the two boats to
the schooner The small boat contained
three men, one of them a physician, who had
been blown off while attempting to reach
some island. They spent the night in the
schooner and landed all right the next morn
ing. Had it not been for Capt. Wizards
promptitude the three men would have been
lost, as it was so rough as to make rowing
impossible.

be instructed to attend the annual meeting

understanding appeared to exist in regard to

had moved that the former hearing be
private, as he understood the reverend gen.
tlemen, the petitioners, were to introduce
matters which would be better heard in
private The Alderman then moved that the
hearing next Friday evening be public
one which was voted.
There being no further business, the
Board adjourned.

HE SPOILED HIS OWN CASE.
a Prisoner Pays $500 for the Privi-
Iege of Attending Court.

Friday afternoon, Hon. 0. D. Baker, At
torney General of the State, came here to ar
que case before Judge Haskell, in oppsSi-
ton to motion for writ of error in the
case of liquor seller, who, something more
than year ago, was sentenced to imprison-
ment for twelve months and to pay fine of
$500. His case dragged through the courts
all through the year, and Friday morning
last, hearing that his case was to be argued
on motion for a writ of error, he formed
strange desire to be present and hear the ar
guments for himself, so he sent for officers
and paid his fine of $500 and costs, in full,
and was discharged. Then he went up to
the Supreme Court to listen to the motion
for his release.
There was a most laughable scene when he
bristled up, shook hands with his thorough
ly astonished attorney, and said: ''Shall we
beat em this time" Proceedings abruptly
terminated, and two deliberately prepared
arguments were rendered useless. The as
constituent of court and bar at his appear
ance was a small matter compared with that
of the party himself when he was informed
that his payment of the fine had ended the
case. He insisted that he paid his $500 I'M
der misunderstanding of circumstances,
but was obliged to leave the court house a
free man and without opportunity OF near
ing the motion in his case argued.
