The Paupers' BuryIng Ground.

A paper last evening devoted column to
an account of the apparent dissertation of
pauper graves by the city authorities, and
spoke of the remains of an old man, not long
buried, exposed to the gaze of the multitude
In a rotting coffin, last Sunday, in the
sandbank close by the old pest house.
We are informed by Mr.. Chas. FL. Baker.
secretary of the Overseers of the Poor. that
about three years ago authority was given to
the board of overseers, under the direction
of the Board of Health, to remove the trees
that shaded the old burying-ground, and to
remove the remains buried there to Forest
City cemetery and renter them there. This
Mr.. Baker says has been done as fast and
with as much care and propriety as possible
ever since. No ono knows, he remarked, in
the number of years the place has been used
for a pauper burying ground, how many
persons have been buried there. The corpse
whose remains were exposed Sunday was
evidently SO exposed by the washing away of
the bank by the late heavy rains. AS soon
as his attention was called to the matter ne
Immediately notified the secretary OIL Inc
Board of Health, and has no doubt that the
matter has been promptly attended to.

THE ROCHESTER EXTENSION.
The Proceedings of the Hearing
Yesterday.

At the hearing before the commissioners,
yesterday morning, Mr.. Coombs continued
the cross-examination of Hon. George P.
Wescott, but nothing new was developed
On the redirect testimony he said that he
paid from to 10 cents for land on Mupjoy
Hill He thought the city should add its land
between the park and railroad to the park
system.
Mr.. Shannahan's direct testimony was In
regard to the accumulation of sewage be-
tween Green and Grove streets, and his
statements had the effect of startling court
attorneys and spectators. He says that at
the outlet Of the sewers on the flats beyond
Deering Oaks the sewage has collected to a
depth of 1S inches. Often while his men
were working in the vicinity they were over
come by sickness and nausea arising from
the foul smells from this source and forced to
quit work. He had himself experienced it.
He said that at high tide there is not water
enough to wash the waste away, and that it
has been accommodating for a period of 20
years to his personal knowledge. The foul
ness is NEST noticeable in the morning when
the sunrise occurs at low water.
Witness had caused the city board of
health to be notified, and his book-keeper in
formed him that the chairman and city en-
gineer had visited the region. but he did not
see them personally. Nothing has been
done to help matters, and so far as he knew
no move is on foot to remedy them. Under
cross examination by Lawyer Libby, Mr..
Shannahan said that the city had cleaned out
one sewer this summer. The sewage was
thrown upon the bank, and no effort was
made to cover it. This aggravated the null
sance while 1t lasted, but this was not the
cause of the trouble. This arose from the
matter brought down the sewer and deposit
ed to the depth before mentioned.
E. L. o. Adams was called by the railroad.
He testified he paid $1,000 per acre for the
land of the Deering Land Company. He
built the streets and sewers, and sold the
first lots on Deering street, the average price
being II cents per foot Was not selling
many lots now. The rates of insurance are
no higher on buildings or lots near where the
railroad trains run.
AT this point County Commissioner Toll
man received despatch from his wife, say
ing that her father, Hon. d. P. Chaplin, was
much worse and asking him to come home on
the o'clock train. The hearing was accord
ingly adjourned until Tuesday, Sept. 30, at

A SPLENDID TRIP.
Greatest Southern Excursion of
the Season.
A Chance to Combine Pleasure
and Profit.

To the Editor of the Press:
The Cardiff Coal and Iron Company's Sec
ond excursion will leave Boston for Cardiff
at two o'clock Saturday afternoon, October
4th, from the Boston & Lowell station of the
Boston & Maine Railroad Company, and will
be carried over the Central Massachusetts
railroad, the New York, New Haven &
Hartford, Poughkeepsie Bridge, Phiadel-
phia & Reading through the iron re-
gons of Pennsylvania and Baltimore &
Ohio railroad to Washington; from thence
west to Cincinnati over the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. and from there south to Car
diff over the Queen & Crescent route; arriv-
ing at Cardiff, Monday, October 9Th.
The trains will remain at Cardiff untilWed
nesday evening, when the party will start on
the return trip to Boston over the same route
but timetables are so arranged that many of
the points of interest that are passed through
in the night time on the downward trip will
be passed in the day time on the return trip,
and reaching Boston, Saturday, October 18th.
1t is estimated that 300 of Names business
men and capitalists will accompany this de-
ltghtful Southern trip to the old State Of
Tennessee so well known in song and story.
This season of the year is the most propi-
tious that could be selected. The expense Is
within everybody's reach; $40 is the whole
cost. including as good Pullman service as
the country affords both en- route and while
at Cardiff. No hotel could use its guests bet
ter. AS the route followed by this excur-
sion takes the tourists through several of the
principal Southern cities, including Wash
ington, ID. c.. ample time being given the
excursionists to view each place, 1t cannot
fail to be an excursion OF great interest and
profit.
We advise all of our Maine capitalists to
leave their cash at home as it will be very
temptingito own one corner lot when 1t Is
seen that it is only question of short time
when 1t must be utilized by being covered by
brick block.
The stock of the company now being rap
idly sold at $50 per share par value 800, can
| not but be good investment, as it is care
| fully estimated that the valuable mineral,
| timber and agricultural lands, covering a
space eighteen miles each way, must be
worth in the near future more than ten mil
| lions of dollars. While we do not advise
| men to leave Maine for homes or investments
| we should be pleased to see all our friends
| on this most interesting excursion to this
most beautiful South land, where each can
| judge for himself the advantages or disad-
| vantages of this land of fruit and flowers.
Having WISHED this section on the first ex.
| cursion last April and purchased some land
in an imaginary city containing less than ten
| buildings of all kinds we shall now go to a
| town numbering its structures by the hun.
| dreds, and would cordially invite all ouI
| friends to make this most interesting trip.

THE HAYDN ASSOCIATION.
The first rehearsal of the Haydn Associa.
tion for the season of 1S9O-9l was held last
evening at their new headquarters In Con-
gress hall. Mr.. 81. L. Houghton, the presi-
dent, called the members together at eight
O'Clock, and made a short address, saying
that he believed that their removal from Me-
chanics' hall, although compulsory, was for
the best, as the acoustic properties of the
new hall were far superior to the old. He
said that he thought the society would short
ly enter on career of renewed prosperity.
The association began rehearsals with the
"Bride of Dunkaron,"
