Among the Lobsters.

Yesterday man sauntered down Com
mercial wharf in rather zigzag line, and, in
looking around. forgot himself and walked
off the wharf, falling into lobster car in the
dock below. Fortunately for him number
OF fishermen we're near and they. with alert
ness, assisted the man in getting out Of the
car The Holsters. however, seemed to OBJ
Ject to the departure Of their unconscious
visitor, for when he was taken out of the car
one Of the largest of them was clinging fast
to his coat tail. The man tried to brush him
of and in SO doing was caught by the lobster
who fixed his other claw fast in the unfor-
tunate fellows hand, causing him to cry with
pain. With some difficulty the lobster was
separated from the man who ventured to ex-
claim as he regained the wharf, swell, by
thunder boys, fell overboardv The truth
OF this statement was so apparent to the by
ISLANDERS that it did not fail to elicit a hearty
laugh But the man, who, it is needless to
say, had been drinking, walked off without
deriving much merriment from the manner
in which his explanation was received. al
though he seemed not in the least discomfort
ed by his accident which did not seriously
injure him.

THE Back cay IMPROVEMENT.
What Is Being Done There at Pres
ent.

The work of building the marginal way in
Back Bay is rapidly progressing, but the
process to passers by does not seem to be
comprehended. To begin with it should be
understood that the two rows of piles ex-
tending across the bay, that have been
planked making double fence that rises
somewhat above the high water line is SIM
ply bulkhead to prevent the water from
washing down the marginal way or the new
street that is now in process of construction.
1t is now proposed to complete this street as
soon as possible and in order that this may
be done the two dredges between the bulk
head and Kennebec street are kept at work
throwing up mud against the bulkhead.
alongside of which and extending across the
bay, the street is to run. When the street
which is to be 100 feet wide. is completed
the channel made by the dredge and the en-
tire bay between the bulkhead and the shore
will be filed in, the street enabling teams to
drive out and dump rubbish in the channel
The ship channel which will be eventually
300 feet wide, will extend, from near Wins
lows pottery across the bay, 425
feet outside the city street and parallel
with it. The channel made in
removing the mud for the construction
| of the marginal way, will also enable the
| scows loaded with mud from the ship chan.
| mel to pass in behind the bulkhead and de-
| post their cargoes, instead of dumping them
| out at sea as they did last fall, thus helpin
| to fill in the bay inside the bulkhead. The
| space between the bulkhead and the shiI
channel will be filled in and quay made
so that vessels may receive and discharge
| cargoes at any point along the channel that
| is parallel to the bulkhead.
Extending towards behring's bridge from
point about 100 feet outside the wharf al
Winslow's pottery, Deering will have front
| of between 500 and 600 feet where vessels
| may lay.
The sewer which discharges under Deer
ing's bridge will be continued out into the
| channel and the space beyond the bridge
| filled in and the water there prevented from
backing in and flooding that region. From
| the manhole, a short distance beyond tie
Portland & Rochester track, in the sewer
that discharges under the bridge, sewer
will be run around to the creek near Grove
street, these forming an outlet that will be
needed when the present one is filed in
When the sewer is extended then the chan
mel under the bridge may be filed in, anc
the expense of maintaining the bridge Their
| done away with. When all this work ha.
been completed it is expected that there viii

roo MANY LozENcEs


Mrs. GRAHAM, of Cape Elizabeth, died in
North Saco, and was buried from that place
last Friday. Her son, Earnest GRAHAM, a
ten year old lad, started from Cape Elizabeth
Friday morning with a relative to attend the
funeral. On the way over the boy seemed
very sleepy, and when he got to North Saco
he was unconscious. He could not be
aroused, and before doctor arrived the boy
was dead, the doctor giving it as his opinion
that death was caused by some poison taken
internally. Coroner f. c. Bradbury. of
Saco. and City Marshal Hasty went to Cape
Elizabeth Saturday, and there found that the
boy had purchased box of worm lozenges
and had eaten them all. The druggist from
whom the boy bought them stated that the
boy was in the habit of taking these
lozenges, but that three or four of them were
a dose, there being poisonous substance
enough in box to kill a man. Under the
circumstances the coroner deemed an inquest
unnecessary

VETERAN REPUBLICAN CLUB
Hon. j. n. Drummond's Interesting
Address Last Night

| The Veteran Republican Club was ad-
dressed last night by Hon. j. III. Drummond
at the club rooms in Brown block. Presi-
dent Perry presided and there was about the
average attendance present. Mr.. Drummond
began his eloquent address by speaking
| of the convention, to which he was a
delegate, that renominated Abraham Lincoln
for President. Mr.. Drummond said that be
fore the convention there was a feeling in
Massachusetts that Mr.. Lincon's admins
tration had not been quite up to the public
feeling, not quite radical enough. At a con-
vention held in Boston the matter was
talked over. The men opposed to Mr.. Lin
coin were well aware that the people wanted
him and that he would be nominated, and as
they could not get rid of him they were de-
cided to do the next best thing and that was
to get Mr.. Seward out of the cabinet. Mr.
Drummond was present at this convention
and as there had been nothing said about a
candidate for Vice President he nominated
Mr.. Hamlin, of Maine, but the convention
did not carry the nomination. Later
Mr.. Drummond had an inter-
view with delegate to the
New York convention and he asked him,
Are you not going to stand by Mr.. Hamlin
in New York;" He said, Eyes. if we cam"
MIR. Drummond asked him what he meant by
that. and he said, "We can't go for Mr..
Hamlin and sacrifice Mr.. Seward" After
THIS the national convention met, and its do
lngs were graphically described by Mr..
Drummond. Mr.. Hamlin, as is well known,
was not renominated, neither was Mr.. Sew
ara taken out Of the cabinet, but in the place
OF Mr.. johnson, who was elected vice presi-
dent, Mr.. Hamlin would have been rec lect-
ed had 1t not been, said Mr.. Drummon d. for
the action Of Massachusetts.

which, also, Mr.. DrummOnd was delegate.

convention had voted as it hurrahed. Blaine
would have been nominated to l. There
were over fifty majority of that convention
that at some time voted for Mr.. Blaine. and
II the CarOlinas had voted for him he would
have been nominated.
''The convention of 1884 went of ITSELF 1t
was impossible to prevent the nomination of
Mr.. Blaine, it was in the air"
Being asked what he thought about the
possibility of Mr. Blaine's nomination this
year Mr.. Drummond said: 81 thought had
a pretty definite lopinion in regard to the
matter about two weeks ago. When Mr..
hoDle was running against Mr. Thomas for
the nomination for Governor some of my
friends came to me and asked to be allowed
10 present my name at the convention as a
candidate for governor, but | objected. /
