The death of Mr. ii. W Richardson, OF

The death of Mr.. II. W. Richardson, OF
The Portland Advertiser, announced in the
REPORTER last week, has called out many
complimentary notices from public jour
mails outside of the State as well as In
Maine. His sterling qualities, his super
Tor gifts and high literary accomplish
ments, his broad culture, strength as an
editorial writer, and success in the con-
duct of his paper along lines chosen by
himself, gave him prominence enjoyed
by few journalists In the State. His
sharp, ready pen viii be missed by read
ers of the Advertiser but he leaves edl-
torial writers who have for some years
received the benefit of his training, and
who will quite readily take up the work
where he laid 1t down.

A BLOW AT BALTIMORE'S COMMERCE.
THE FURNEss STEAMSHIP LINE FORCED TO
WITHDRAW FROM THAT CITY BY
THE B. AND O. ROAD,

Baltimore, Dec. 15.-The FunesS Line Of steamers
will in all probability be forced to withdraw It's buSl-
from this city. 1t appears that about week or
ago the Furness Line received written nothca1on
from the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company that
after January l. 1890, the company would not furnish
accommodations to the Furness Lhr and would not
quote their rates in the West or give them through
bills Of ladingn This. OF course means that the
steamship company must quit Pier 30, at Locust
Point now used by II as wharf for loading and un-
loading their freight The Funcss Line Is naturally
compelled to seek dock accommodations elsewhere
and they have already made arrangements for wharf
ago for several Of their vessels at Newport News
Va, where they can get the same rates a. here and
save the time necessary to come up the Chesa-
peake Bay But It will be a serious blow to the COM
mere Of Baltimore because the Furness Line received
a considerable portion of the total tonnage business
which comes into this port The shipping reports
show that since January 1850, there have been con-
signed to, loaned or chartered by that line between
ITO and $50 steamers. OF the published list of steam
ers arriving and To arrive here, there forty which
consigned to the agents of the Furness Line. The
Donaldson Line steamers until recently con-
signed to the Funcss people, but It has since passed
into the hands OF Patterson & Ramsey.
1t is said that the Baltimore and Ohio people claim
that Pier 81 let 10 the Donaldson Iine and that,
this line has gone into other hands, the pier can
only be used for the accommodation OF the Donaldson
Line. This claim ls however. denied BY the FumeSs
PEOPLE who call attention TO the fact that the words
| Flrness Line are prominently painted on the pier.
Tho Donaldson line, II IS said receives only eleven O.
twelve steamers IN the winter and 60 to Montreal
during the summer. during which latter period they
do not have any steamers arriving at this port wherea,
tie FuncSs Line is admittedly one oil the most lnpOr-
| tant I'm this city and the commerce which comes to

There are many surnlses among the shipping
interests as to the Of the action taken by the

PARTMENT-PRosPECTsF FOR TO-DAY.
The American faculty for turning all things'
good or evil TO the best possible account ana eH-
tracing some degree Of enjoyment even from tne
ills and inconvenience of life was once again
strikingly evident yesterday. On saturday all
New-York was groaning and shiverlng undcr 'he
visitation of Sergeant Dunns latest snowstorm,
and went to bed full Of apprehenSlons Tor re-
currence of last years blizzard. Yesterday morn
ing people discovered that the snowstorm had dis-
appeared and had left behind it an ice-cold,
bracing temperature and frost-bound roads and
pavements. Walking was difficult and even
dangerous for any but the warlest and hardest
pedestrian, but by common inspiration every
one awoxc to the fact that this was Just the
sort of weather for sleighing.
Accordingly seighs of all sizes and descrip-
tions-from the exquisitely appointed two-horse
vehicle of the wealthy down TO the tiny wooden
toy pushed or drawn along the pavements by the
small boy or girl-were to be seen everywhere
about the city. AS usual the majority of sleigh
drivers clustered about the upper blocks Of Fifth
and Sixth aves. along the drives of Central
Park. The few people who ventured on walking
joined arms and linked themselves together in
strings of three or four, carefully picking their
steps and guiding each other over the slippery and
uneven surface of the pavement
The Department of Street Cleaning was fully
alive to its responsibilities and from o'clock on
Saturday night till half-past last night about
800 men were engaged in the work of clearing
the streets of tho dirty snow. The heaviest
part of the labor fell to 300 men allotted to the
large district between the Battery and Fourteenth
ST., west of Broadway. and so well was their work
done that they contrived to render even West-st
toerably fit for traffic, that is, traffic in Wesst
The apprehensions Of the different railway man
ayers in respect of possible delays to traffic were
not realized Nearly all the trains on the Penn
sylvania, Central of New-Jefsey, and New York
and Lake Erie lines arrived on time, and no inter
ruption was occasioned to the Western Union Tel
egraph service "The snowstorm has gone off to
the Gulf of St Lawrence" said Sergeant Dunn
yesterday. "There will now be rise in temper

mind-reader, has been in Ashland, WIS. during the
last week, and the attorneys for Perrlnc. who is i'm
plicatcd in the robbery Of 100000 from the Iron Ex
change Bank OF Hurley have had several conferences
with him, in the hope of retaining him expert
witness for the defence. few days ago Sheriff Matt
son had an interview with Brown relative to his
making test on " Ed' Baker who IS supposed to
have secured the combination from Penine the as
stant cashier Of the bank The theory OF the prose
cuton was that If Baker possessed the combination,
aud Brown referred to the matter I'm his presence he
would necessarily be compelled to think of the num-
Der composing the combination. As the combination
Of the safe had not been made public II imagined
that the mind-cader secured the combination in this
manner It would be a strong point against the su'-
pect. Good lawyers, however, say that evidence Of
this character would not be admissible but the aeGT
ncys for Pcnfne hope 10 take advantage Of Brown
witness for the young cashier 1t proved that
Pcrine had nothing do personally with the robbery
and the principal evidence that he was implicated in
it is the fact that he knew the combination and
friend of Baker His attorneys Will attempt TO show
through the evidence of Brown that thought reading
phenomenon which scientists acknowledge 10 eA-
is and that Brown himself could secure the c0mblna-
ton from PeIrnc the prcsdcnt OF the bank without
either being aware OF the fact. the proceeding Is
