TEARS WITHOUT STINT.
How Young Mrs. chamberlain Said
Cood-bye-The Misses West Not
Similarly Affected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Lord Sackville,
Miss Victoria West, Miss Amalia West, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain were pas
sengers this morning on the French line
steamer La Bourgosne, for Havre. The La
Bourgogne sailed promptly at o'clock this
morning. Mr.. Chamberlain, his bride. her
mother and brother boarded the steamer at
7.3O O'Clock, and the leayetaking began.
Tears were shed without stint. The Misses
West were on deck when the Chamberlain
party arrived, and they all formed quite
group of notables. They stood the stares
and glares of the curious onlo0kers with
charming nonchalence. Lord Sackyille re-
manned below. With him was Hon. A. S.
Northeote, well known English gentleman.
When La Bourgogne's warning gong was
sounded. Mrs. Endicott kissed her daughter
affectiopaIely, and then gave the Brumma-
gem dOdger good, frst-class Puritan hug,
which he evidently appreciated, for he re-
turned the salutatiOn with kiss on his
mother-in-law's cheek, as becomes dutiful
son-in-law. Then young BILLY" Endicott
kissed his sisler a couple Of times, shook his
new brothers hand with the grip Of Samp-
son, took off his hat to the charming Misses
West, and the two Endicotts walked mourn
fully down the French gangplank. Point
lace handerchiefs we're waved after them,
and then the great steamship glided out of
her dock into the river, and turned her nose
for France. A great crowd Of people were
on the dock when the steamer sailed.

THE CLEAN sWEEPERs.
They Will Be Disappointed II They
Demand Too Much

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-The Journal Of
this city, which is considered to be a Harri-
son organ, yesterday contained an editovial
article, which is looked upon as significant.
The article is upon the subject of civil SER
vice reform, which, it claims. has come to
stay, and will move forward rather than
backward. The ''clean sweepers," the Jour
nal says, should not be unreasonable in their
demands on the next administration.
The more unreasonable the de-
mands and expectations in this regard the
greater the liability to disappointment.
The Republican platform is fully COM
mitted by its platform pledges to civil service
reform, and Gen. Harrison has declared him
self in full sympathy with it. The Republi-
can party is pledged to use discrimination
in removals from Office, as well as in ap-
pointments thereto and to use both primarily
for the public welfare, rather than for sup
posed party advantage The civil service
law must be obeyed." The article concludes
as follows: From what has been said, it is
evident there many things to be taken into
account In connection with the demand of
the clean sweepers, and if they have the
welfare of the party at heart they will reeog
nize the necessary limitation of the situation.
One thing they can rest assured Of, the Presi-
dent elect is as old and earnest a Republican
as any of them, and can be depended on to
do the very best thing for the party as well
as for the count ry.'

some Words of Advice to the Clean
Sweepers.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 24.-It has been rath-
er quiet day with General Harrison. He
spent most of the forenoon in his library
with his secretary and stenographer, and to-
gether they made somewhat appreciable
impression upon his his mail, but it will be
yet days, If not weeks, until many hundred
of his correspondents even so much as hear
of the report of their mess ages and letters.
Much as this may be regretted it is an abso-
lutte necessity, for General Harrison has
been able to organize only comparatively
small home means, which have not been able
TO graz pie with his tremendous mail. Among
his callers were Governor Hovey, John c.
New, Congressman Houk, OF Tennessee and
some others.
The General received the live eagle today
from Southport N. Y. In the afternoon
the General went on a fishing expedition
filled baskets, but the President-elect de-
clined to tell just how many
he caught. The college fraternity
boys are coming around on the campus fenc-
es, claiming their share in the election Of
General Harrison to the Presidency. The
President-elect is the first member of col
lege Greek letter fraternity elected to the
Presidency. James A. Garfield, as student
at Williams College, united with the social
fraternity which was organized as an anti
secret college society. This afterward be-
came the Delta Upsilon fraternity. President
Arthur was member Of the n Epsilon,
with which he united at UL n College.
He came into the Presidency she hand
of God"
When Ben Harrison entered Miami in the
fall of 1851 there was sharp competition ov-
er him between the Phi Delta Theta and the
Alpha Delta Phi. College men will be in
terested in the history of this spike" The
leader of Alpha Delta Phi at Miami then
was Milton Saylor, who has twice since been
elected to Congress by the Democrts. He is
now member Of the bar in New York city.
With Saylor in college. as a leader of Phi
Delta Theta, was j. A. Anderson, now Re-
publican Congressman from Kansas.
After protracted tussle Harrison was se-
cured by the Phi Delta Thetas. lie was In
itiated in the spring of 1851. The fraternity
had been organized in 1S4S with six charter
members. Ben Harrison's name stands as
the thirteenth signed to the roll Of the parent
chapter after the founders name.

scarboro Celebration.

The Scarboro Republicans celebrated their
victory last Friday evening and succeeded In
painting Dunstan's Corner and the road
leading to Saco red. At no time since the
first Lincoln campaign have there been such
extensive illuminations and beautiful decora-
tIons and the rejoicing was all the more
hearty because the doctrines advocated by
the ''Scarboro Bible and accepted by so
many people In the town as truth. have been
repudlated. In fact the Democratic party is
losing its grip, even In Searboro. and the
young ulen are coming to believe with Josh
Billings that Its better not to know so much
than to know so many things that isn't So"
The procession consisted Of the Harrison
Guards, Biddeford Band and Scarboro Drum
Corps. 1T marched on the Saco road as far

oLoTowN's NEW ENTERPRISE. a
Mill Girls Look for Work Advised to
Co Elsewhere.

OLDTowN, Nov. 24.-The Herald has the
following about the trouble at the new
wooden millen here:
More or less has been printed and report
ed on the street from time to time regarding
the trouble at the wooden mill. A visit there
Friday morning found Theodore Jellison in
charge of the property as keeper, the direc-
tors having attached the building and sur
roundings, and elected the contractors.
Messrs. Davidson & Son. Mr.. Jellison also
represents M. A. Austin of Milford, who has
$4,000 claim and quite number of other
and smaller creditors, all of whom have at
tached, some the building and others the
brick. and others loose material. 1t was also
found that the cold snap had injured and
was still injuring the uncompleted walls, land
that portion would not be in condition for
a continuance of building when a thaw
comes OF course there are two sides to ev
cry story. At best it would seem as though
the matter of dealing with the contractors
had been most lenient, though President
Smith has worked like Trojan. The claim
of the mill people is that the contractors had
nothing; never undertook such job before,
and that they were deceived in the matter of
their ability to do such work. They also
claim to have aided them in every way and
that they had furnished the aid of Mr..
Shedd, an engineer, free of charge. Bad
weather. they admit, retarded the work
some, but bad management by the Davdsons
was at the bottom of the trouble. They say
they thought to have the min in operation
this winter and even hired an overseer, who
is now idle.
There is considerable talk about the ac-
tion of the Bodwell estate which was repre-
sented by Attorney General Orville ID. Baker.
1t appears that Governor Bodwell verbally
agreed to make the subscription list good for
100000 after it should have reached SOC, 900,
and it was with this understanding that
many men of limited means went in. But
now Governor Bodwell is dead, and General
Baker, while saying the estate was willing
to help along, says 1t cannot be legally held
for cent
'lt was said Friday that the Davidsons
would try to gain possession again. They
claim to have been cheated in the matter of
paid at stated intervals for their work less 20
per cent, and say that If such work had been
honestly measured by Lockwood, Green q
Co., the company's engineers. they would
now be in possession of money to carry it on.
They also claim the company insisted in
blasting In the wheel pit, thus retarding
them greatly, and that with fair show there
was from $1,000 to $4,000 for them in the
job, and this they are bound to have. AT
present they are strapped" financially, and
owe many bills.
If the matter gets into court the property
can be tied up for two years, or the company
can settle with the Davidsons and then COM
plete the mill themselves. In the meantime
any factory girl who thinks OF working in
the new mill this winter will probably be
disappointed"

RIGHT HERE IN PORTLAND.
Damage Done BY A Heavy Wind and
Binding Snow.


The snow storm that struck this city yes
tinued through the day was one of unusual
severity for this time of year. The wind
blew from the northeast throughout the day
and the air was full of snow. Early in the
day it became necessary to put four horses
on the horse cars, and in the afternoon
the snow plows were takep out. The storm
was what might be called howler, and the
scene in the harbor was wild one. The
waves washed clear over the breakwater,
numerous vessels dragged their anchors.
The steam dredge Ajax that was anchored
in the lower harbor broke adrift and went
up the harbor in spite af the efforts of tow
boat to prevent her. At 4 p. m. the Cornelia
Ii started for South. Portland, but on ap-
preaching the landing she found that two
vessels had dragged their anchors and barred
the way so she was Obliged to return to the
landing on this side again where she re-
manned until late in the evening. For four
years this boat has been running and Cap
tain Spear said the harbor was rougher yes
terday than it has ever been during the time
the boat has been on the route.
The sea ran so high that the decks of the
ferry boat which are high above the water
ordinarily, were frequently flooded CAPT.
miles per hour at times yesterday afternoon
1t was a bad day for signs and awnings. In
all parIs of the city much damage was done
to them. At the weather signal office the
writer was told the wind blew 36 miles per
hour at 3p. H., and the same at D. m. At
no time during the day did it fall below "a
miles per hour. The coldest period of the
day was early in the afternoon when the
mercury indicated 220. Then it grew warm
er for a time. At 8 p. m. it was 24o and at s
p. m. 250. Up to .. m. two inches of snow
had fallen, but the heavy wind made drifts
of it from two to four feet deep, making it
appear that much more snow had fallen than
really was upon the ground. Many of the
streets for quite long distance were as bare
as they would have been if no snow had
fallen. 1t was bad night for shipping. and
although nothing serious was reported last
evening marine disasters may be expected.
The Western Union reported at Lis this
morning that all the wires West were not
working and that the chances ui hearing
from Boston until late were something like
one in thousand.
At three O'clock it was showing as hard as
ever and the wind was still industriously en-
gagged sweeping streets and sidewalks in
some places to pile up big drifts ih others.
