the world. 1t is without doubt the safest and
oest remedy ever discovered for the speedy
and ehectual cure of coughs, colds. aud the
the severest lung troubles. Ii acts on an en-
'irtiy different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physicians. as it does not
dry up cough and leave the disease still in
the system, but on the contrary removes the
cause of the trouble, heals the parts affected
and leaves them in purely healthy condi-
tiou. bottle kept in the house for use
when these diseases make their appearance,
will save doctors bills and long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convince YOU Of
these facts. II is positively sold by all drug
gists and general dealers in the land. Price

AN INVESTIGATION
Made bv the Aldemanic Committee in
the Administration OF the East Boston
Ferries.
BoSTON. Nov. %.

BOSTON, Nov. 2?.
The aldermanic committee which has for
several weeks past been Investigating the
charges OF mismanagement and Corruption in
the administration OF the East Boston ferries
during the years 1888 and 1884, submitted
their report to the board of slderm5n thi,
evening The conclusions reached bv the
maj ~ are that the management Of the
ferries during the above wears was diScredl-
BILE TO the directors having charge the reof; :;
that the maj ,rlty of the directors must have
failed to aoqusint themselves with the work
going on; tnst the WORK whicn should by law
BE- given TO the lowest bld Ter, WAS left to be
done without competition and the labor al
lowed to be performed in careless manner;
that m tterials were paid for that seem never
t. have been supplied; that in cases where
the work was contracted for extra charges
were allowed, increasing the cost largely
above the contract price; that some trsnsac-
tions were carried on with fins or corpora,
tons so closely connected with the individual
dire ctors, that il seems almost impOsslble to
believe such directors did not gain private
advantage from the operations
The committee does not assume that the
entire boards of dir. ctors in either of the
years were directly responsible for all such
careless If not dishonest waste of the ciA's
uio"eN' out tuose VINO peTmltteu III 10 ue con
tinuously made and without public protest.
would seem to render themselves sutject TO
charge of great looseness and neglect in the
performance of the duties of their trust.
The minority report signed by Alderman
sullivan finds the directors guilty of extrsva-
gance and waste in the handling of public
funds; that the system of placing work in the
HANDS of sub-cOmmttees is wrong and that
the evidence presented at the hearings be
submitted to the proper law officers for such
action as they may deem proper in view of
the fact that the directors are now out of
office and beyond the jurisdiction of the
board of aldermen. BON reports were Or

A PROPOSITION
BY the "aine Central to Lease the Port.
11'd d Osden.bu,g kaiiroad for Term
OF Years.
PORTLAND, Nov, %.

Soon after the reorg n zstion OF the Port
land Osdensburg R. Co., a committee
OF the directors was appointed to consider
the matter of leasing the road to another cor
poration. Thereupon the Maine Central sl.o
appointed committee to meet the Portland
Ogdensburg committee in relation to lease
to the Name Central. After considerable
ds scussion between the committees the Maine
Central committee submitted the following
proposition which was approved by the Maine
Central directors today:
PORTLAND, Nov 90.
Hon Chas. j. Chapman, Chairman of the
committee of the Portland & Ogden.burg
railroad
Dear Sir: The question of m ,king prop
osltlon for the lease of the Portland & Og
densburg railroad was referred bv ,h- board
OF DIR ctor1 OF this company to a committee
With pu~er. The committee have fully con
sidered the matter and carefully examined
the report OF your treasurer for the ycar end
ing Sept. Both, 1886. AT our last intervirw
with your coulmiltee, which was before the
closing Of the wear, il was r. presented to Us
that the net earnings or the wear would be
Sl20. 900 and the gross $500 0O0 We find
by the report referred to that the result was
Sl20. 900 ne, ana 1851 900 gross. An ex-
ANIMATION Of the op. rating expenses shows
that much less amount was expended on
the road bed during the year than can br
reasonably expected in future wears. The
committee concluded that 500, 900 net would
be fair estimate for the year. In view Of
this reduction of gross and net the commit
tee feel obliged to modify the figures suggest
ed at their last meeting and now authorize
the following proposition to hold good a
reasonable time for your C ,nsideration:
The Maine Central Railroad Company will
make perpetual lease of the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad, assume all liabilities
and interest charges and pay yearly rental
OF one per cent. on its capital stock for the
first three years from the execution of the
| lease, and two per cent. per annum ON its
capital stock, forever, rental payable semi
annually.
Respectfully Yours,
| ARTHUR SEwALL, President.
| This proposition gives the city of Portland
S22 600 year for three years, and S44 600
thereafter.
| The original amount Of bonds held by the
city was 81 $50 900. The proposition gives
the city about one and two thirds ppr cent.
| the first three years and about three and one
third per cent. thereafter Oh its original in
vestment.

APPALLING CRIMES,
Austin, Tex, Shocked by Two Terrib
Trsgedies-The City Excited.

AEostdits-ih ne CITY Excited
Two terrible crimes were committed
in Austin, Tex, on the night of the
23th, after midnight, which undoubt-
edly will result in three deaths, and no
telling how many lynohings. During
the past year Austin has been horri-
fed every few weeks by some bastard
ly attack on servant women, both
white and cOlored. Fully a dozen
servants have been assaulted and eight
murdered within this period. The
crimes all bore evidence of being per-
petrated and planned by the same
persons. Every effort was made to
apprehend the criminals, and skilled
detectives have been employed.
About midnight on the 25th,
w. II. Hancock a well-to-do car
penter, residing at 203 Water Street,
was awakened by groans. Entering
his wife's chamber adjoining, he found
the vacant bed covered with blood
spots. Hefollowed the trail out OF the
front door, around the house and into
the yard, where he found his wife welt
ering in pool of blood. Shehad been
struck twice across the head and face
with a blunt axe and her skull tract
ured. Although still alive, physicians
say the lady Will surely die from her
wounds. Mrs. Hancock is 40 years of
age and still a handsome woman. She
bore an unblemished character. In
the midst of the great excitement pro-
duced by this outrage, citizens were
appalled, at learning of still greater
crime about the same hour, several
squares distant. At l o'clock Mrs.
Phillips, residing at 3O8 Hickory
Street, was awakened by the cries of
hergrandson. Entering herson, James
Phillips room, she found the infant on
the bed covered with blood, and Phil
lips lying senseless from a terrible blow
across the head Ella Phillips, his
wife, was missing. A frightened neigh
Dor followed the bloody trail and
found her body lying in the back yard
OF the adjoining premises. Death had
resulted from blow on the forehead
with an axe. Across the body lay
heavy rails. Her person had been
outraged. There is no clue to either
crime. The excitement on the streets
during the day was very great. Christ
mas was forgotten. The mayor called
a meeting Of citizens at the state house.
Nearly l 600 attended. A committee
OF public safety was organized. The
feeling over these last outrages is in
tense. A hOuse-to-house search for
the bloody-handed murderers Will
probably be made.

New York Mills Mimi society IL
greatly wrought up, owing to the sen
sational action OF q Mrs. Held, a
charming lady of % years. In some
way she learned that a young married
man of the place, named Kemberlin,
had been telling scandalOus stories
about her Indignant at the liberty
thus taken, Mrs. Held armed herself
with a revolver, and started out to
find her traducer. They met on the
street, and Mrs. Held, presenting the
revolver, threatened him with instant
death fine refused to retraCt. Kember-
lin wilted and said he would do what
she wanted. Mrs. Held marched HIM
through the main street at the point
OF the revolver to Blowers store,
where there was quite a large crowd Of
her demand, telling Kemberlin to get
down on his knees and take back all
he had said, cooking her revolver as
she spoke. The frightened man
dropped to his knees Immediately and
stated that he had not said anything
about her, and that if he did it was all
a lie Mrs Held then ordered him to
leave the store, which he did in all
possible haste. Mrs. Held closed the
dramatic episode by turning to the
store full OF men and informing them
she would shoot down like a dog the
first one who dared to insinuate any
thing against her character. Mrs.
Held was arrested and bound over to
keep the peace, and here the case rests
at present, although it may yet result
in a tragedy.
