HARBoR ITEMS.
The outlook for Mackerel Very
DIscouraging.

Yesterday the fish arrivals were small.
Only one schooner came in, the Ella Dough-
ty, and she had 6,OO0 pounds of halibut and
5000 pounds of salt cod. Only about 800
pounds of mackerel were landed. The out
look for mackerel is quite discouraging. The
seiners and the 'dragers" are not getting
any fish, and what few are brought in come
chiefly from the weirs at Harpswell. "The
season is much the same as last" said well
informed fish dealer, "and in two weeks time
doubt if there will be any mackerel in the
market"
The schooner Gertie May is hauled up at
Commercial wharf for repairs. Her masts
have been taken out and new ones will be
put in. She will be engaged in the fishing
business when repaired.
The Portland Pier Corporation is making
many improvements in their property. The
new barge office at the end of the pier is a
neat, cosey one and quite as slightly as was
the old one on Custom House wharf. A
boat house to accommodate the barge office
boat will be built at the end of the pier.
Work on the new ferry landing is pro-
crossing very slowly. At the present rate
the work is going on the new and much
talked of ferry slip will not be completed
this year A big crew Is needed to push the
construction.
Custom House officials will be stationed at
all the island steamers today to count the
passengers that get on. No boat will be
overloaded.

Fresh Air Society.

The various committees of the Fresh Air
Society have been actively at work through
June, and arrangements are now completed
by which 1t is hoped large amount of good
will be accomplished. Many pleasant homes
are secured. offering quite a range of choice
in location and surroundings. That these
may be wisely adapted to the different ages
and conditions of the benefciaries. it is very
desirable that names be at once presented.
Entire "rest and change is recognized by
the good physician as in many cases his most
valuable ally. Consulting one of our lead
ing doctors about very frail patient, asked
as he was thoughtfully writing prescriptions
"What about a change to the country?"
Better for her than all the drugs in Port
land" was the prompt reply.
The society desires earnestly to extend its
help, not only to sickly children, but to wom-
en- and girls, who, dependent upon their own
labor for support, and perhaps with others
dependent upon them, find in failing strength
doubly cruel experience. To any such the
society proffers its aid with sincere sympa-
thy.
Attention is asked to the fact that while
the officers OF the society feel it due to those
whose funds they hold in trust to UNDER
stand fully the minds OF the cases they act
upon, this does not involve publicity. In
any case requiring privacy. the honor of the
very few individuals to whom the name of
the applicant need be made known is pledged
to silence.
think the leading officers Of the society
are well known, but IL more convenient, in
ordinary cases, O name may be handed to
any member, and it will. by them, be passed
to the proper person.
Physicians and other friends are cordially
requested to aid the society in reaching those
cases to whom its help will be most valua-

yesterday and last night floated out five fam

pouring down the the mountain and filed
the frst.hoors Of the houses, destroying all the
furniture saved from the big flood. Great
alarm exists among the people over the con-

There is danger Of the temporary bridge er-
ected by the Baltimore 3 Ohio going out.
Six loaded freight cars were run out on the
bridge to save it. The temporary bridge at

The usual introductions were made to the peo
ple The President stood on the platform
of the rear car and shook hands with all
who could ge. near. When the train reached
Putnam, rain was falling heavily and the
streets were in terrible condition. The
square before which the train stopped was
packed, military company and the Grand
Army men yainly tried to reserve space
tor the passage of the Presidents party.
All. control over the crowd was lost When

DAvITT's TESTIMONY.
He Talks Of the Irish Question In
ENGLAND and America.

LONDON, July 3.-Davitt continued his
testimony before the Parnell commission to-
day. He stated that he would not object to
joining any movement to secure the indie
pendence Of Ireland, If such a movement
was backed by force strong enough to JUS
tify hope Of its success.
Mr.. Davitt said he did not approve Of the
Clerkenwell explosion. He regretted the at
tack upon the prison van, in which brave
policeman was killed, but applauded the
their friends. While in prison he concluded
that movements by secret societies would do
no good, and when released he held con-
ference with the leaders of the Irish Repub-
lican Brotherhood in Paris regarding the
advisaoility Of an open movement. Matt
had given permission for his name to be
divulged, but at present the witness could
not divulge the names of the other Iri sh
Republican Brotherhood leaders without
their permission.
Chief Justice Hannen said that Attorney
General Webster was entitled to press the
question as to what others were present, but
could wait until the end Of the examination
to do so.
Witness further said that he failed to win
the Irish Republican Brotherhood leaders to
approve Of the adoption OF an open move
ment with the exception Of Harris. He in
tended to make the land question stepping
stone to the independence Of Ireland, treat
ing the landlords as an English garrison.
The League land programme, the witness
said, had now become the programme of the
Tory government. [Laughter.l Mr.. Davitt
refused to say whether or not Mr.. James
0'Kelly, member Of the House Of Commons
for the north division of Roscommon, had
been engaged to distribute firearms, and de-
clared that he did not know whether the
trustees of the skirmishing fund
DR.. Carroll and Messrs. Breslin, Luby,
Dewey, Burke and Rosa. belonged to the
Clan-na-Gael. There is a hue and cry
against the Clan-n&- Gael in America for po-
litical purposes. witness declared that he
must be careful of what he said, but he
would say that they are all extreme Nation
alists. Mr.. Davitt said that many persons
opposed his scheme on the ground that If
the people became tenant farmers, ( they
might become lukewarm in the cause of in
dependence. A majority of the people then
opposed Fenianism and secret societies. Irish
Americans objected to the scheme, holding
that it would give the politicians too much
power. Witness had converted many Ma
tionallsts to his views.

BEYOND DESCRIPTION.
The Scene OF the Crash on the Nor
folk and Western.

LYNcHBURG, Va, July 3.-The scene of
the terrible disaster near Thaxter's, on the
Norfolk & Western railroad Is beyond de-
scri2tion. Hardly enough is left Of the eight
cars that took the leap to make one car. AS
soon as the boiler of the engine exploded,
the whole mass Of debris took fire, and those
who went down who were not killed, burned
to death. Portions Of eight bodies were
taken out and 1t Is believed that fully fifteen
others were consumed by ilre. A survivor
Of the wreck says that cries for help could
be heard from all portions Of the wreck.
Those unhurt were powerless to render
assistance. A woman who managed to es-
cape lay on the damp ground suffering till
daybreak. Many walked long distances to
farm houses. The few passengers left unln-
jured did all in their power for the unfor-
tunates. The list Of killed and wounded
thus far ascertained shows 10 injured,
fatally, and 10 killed. The charred remains
OF what are supposed to have been eight
bodies were found In very minute particles.
The body Of engineer Donavan was dug out
badly mutilated and identified by his watch
