RIghop HeaIY,s RECEPTION.

The O'Clock train from Boston yesterday
afternoon brought to Portland Rt. Rev.
James A. Healy and his brother Rev. P.
Healy. It was the Bishops wish that no
public reception should be rendered him,
and after alighting from the cars he was
driven Immediately to his residence, accom-
panied by his brother Rev. p. Healy, Vicar
General, John w. Murphy, Rev. T. P. Lin
nehan, Rev. G. w. Doherty. Rev. G. O'Cal-
laghan, Rev. NJ. C. McDonough, Rev. j. B.
Sekinger, Rev. T. H. Wallace, Rev. John NJ.
Harrington and Rev. Father Decelle in car
riages. Some of the above named clergy es-
corted the Bishop from Boston, and others
met him at the depot.
Over 1900 people had assembled in the bril-
liantly Illuminated Cathedral, when at
O'Clock, while the organ sent forth joyous
notes the clergy previously mentioned enter
ed the sanctuary followed by the Rt. Rev,
Bishop robed in his full pontifical yestment
Preceding the religious exercises the Bishop
briefly addressed the congregation, substan-
TALLY as follows:
/ cannot find words to express my joy and
gratitude at being once more among you.

many people and many churches, but no

various parts of this diocese. AS to the OBJ
ject of my visit being accOmplished-the res
foration Of my health am pleased to say
that my health has improved and in due
course of time may hope for complete re-

diction and after benediction of the Blessed
Sacrament the choir sang the ''Te Deum'
which terminated the evenings deyotions.

a Warning to shipmasters.

In the United States District Court at Bos-
ton Tuesday, Judge Nelson gave decision
in the case of John O'Neil and others VS.. the
barque Samuel E. Spring. This was a libel
by O'Neil, the second mate, and four other
seamen under the Dingley shipping act to
recover two months wages, not including an
advance of one month paid at New York,
the port of shipment The act provides that
no advance wages shallbe paid, and if so
paid that it will not bar the seamen from re-
ceiving the full amount of wages earned. In
this case it appeared that O'Neil and the
seamen were put on the shipping articles at
one-half the rate of wages paid so as to cover
the advance. On the arrival of the vessel in
Boston in May last the seamen were paid off,
the advance being deducted, and they
signed a release in full. The libellant,
O'Neil, however, refused to be paid and sign
such a release unless he was paid his full
wages, not including the advance, and
brought suit with four other seamen to re-
cover the same. Judge Nelson dismisses the
libel of the four seamen, finding that their
release in full was bar to their recovery,
but orders a Judgment for O'Neil for the full
amount claimed, $4S and costs, as per ver-
bal agreement. T. j. Morrison for the libel
lants J. NJ. Browne for the master and own

The Fisheries.

Secretary 0. B. Written Of the Portland
Fishing Exchange said yesterday that state
ments to the effect that American fishermen
were being forced to tie up on account of tie
loss of the opportunities to buy bait in Nova
Scotian ports were without foundation in
fact. Vessels have arrived home with full
fares and are preparing for another "trip.
Mr. Written regards the fishermen better off
when they make their trips without relying
on fresh bait purchased in Provincial ports.
1t is true that the fish can be caught quicker
with fresh bait than with salt bait but
vessel in order to obtain the herring used for
bait is obliged to leave the fishing grounds
and go, perhaps, 400 or 800 miles in search of
of it, as it is by no means certain at what
point a supply can be secured. During the
time the vessel is getting her tait and back
ready to fish, she might have finished her trip
by using salt bait and be on her way home
Then, again, fresh bait is liable to be spoiled
during bad weather, necessitating new sup
ply.
A trip-along the wharves where the trim
looking schooners are preparing for the next
trip confirms the truth of Mr.. Whittens
statement that the business is in a prosper
GUS condition.

Water Gas.

In j. r. Stubs art store, in Congress
Square, a new gas light is on exhibition Of
great richness and brilliancy. 1t is made
from water-gas, but it is claimed is free from
those deleterious ingredients that make the
water-gas dangerous that has been used by
other companies. The tank stands IN one
corner of the store, is not in the way, the
gas is odorless and the light almost free from
heat. The gas is generated by the action OF
sulphuric acid on carbonate of lime, or
oyster shells, iron clippings, etc., and is then
hydro-carburetted. 1t is claimed that the
power is four times that of coal gas, and
half foot burner produces bigger light than
a two foot burner of the ordinary gas. A
company will be formed here to-day Tor
Maine. The Ottawa House will be lighted
with the new gas this summer
