Fifty Steamers Ready TO Start.

Inc rlyermen seen would not make anv
definite statements as to how much coal
they would send out There are about so
boats at this point, and all were rep orted to
be s'firing up' yesterday afternoon. Among
the boats that will start down stream are
the following:
Jim Brown, E. j. Roberts, W. W.O'Neil,
Sam Clarke, John T. Walton, Jay Gould,
Charley Brown, Diamond, Crescent, John
A Woods, Joseph Walton, Sam Brown,
Hornet, Beaver, Nellie Walton, Jim Wood,
S. S. Wood, Frank Gilmore, James Gil
more, Annie Roberts, John Moren, Time,
Rescue, Charley Jutte. Eagle and Enterprise.
The lower river towns are badly in need
of coal, in fact, at some points there is al
most coal famine, and the fuel which
leaves here will find a ready market. There
was considerable indignation among the
rlvermen on account of the bad shape of
the channel at 'glass house rifle" as the
result of the operations of the sand diggers
at that point. At the Office of W. w.
ONelt it was said that the sand boats of
Stalsanbach & Piel had been at work on
the bed of river at the rifle, and that in
several places piles Of gravel and rock had
been raised which reached nearly to the
surface. This dangerous state OF affairs was
learned yesterday morning, and the tow
boat j. Az Blackmore was dispatched to
clear away the obstruction.
The Blackmore Caught in a Sauan.
The boat was caught in the gale which
came up soon after she reached the rifle.
Her scraper was broken, and the boat was
Obliged to make for the center of the river
and keep ''bow on" toward the gale, which
was so severe that it would have wrecked
her had it struck her broadside. Another
scraper was secured, and as soon as the gale
died down the work was again commenced.
All last night large gang of men toiled at
the sand piles, and it was thought that the
channel would be cleared in time for the
boats to pass. One riverman, in speaking
of the matter, said: ''The obstruction of the
channel of river has been made a crime
punishable by a fine of $1,000 and one
years Imprisonment. The rivermen are
fast losing patience with these repeated and
fragrant violations of the law, which not
only are liable to cause great destruction of
property but loss of life as we'll. You need
not be surprised to see some of these often
ders brought up standing before long.
These sand men go to work and fill up our
river, and when high water comes We river
men have to clear the channel, and more
than that we have to stand the expense of
the operation,'

Mr.. MerrilIs clerk. just before 1i.30 man
who lives opposite the store saw two men
come up Federal street and stop In front of
the door. He heard a rasping sound and
then something like splitting and then n
crash Of glass. This was followed nv a
sound as Of something dropping, twice re-.
peated. and then the men opened the door
and went inside. While they were inside

the thieves had been allowed ample time to
get out OF town If they chose, and squad of
officers went to the store. Entrance had
been effected by smashing square of glass
In one OF the front doors and pulling the
bolts at the top and bottom of the other.
All of the watches and valuable jewelry
were In the safe which showed no signs Of
having been tempered with. On top of the
safe was glass case containg silyerware.

Landings by the EIaet.

1.-The mackerel landings foot up 5.789 bar
rels, caught mostly on the eastern shore In
small hauls. The fish do not show up In
large schools, but they appear to be plentiful
along the Maine coas land fishermen are still
In hopes Of making large catches. Several
of the ground fishing vessels from this port
have their seines ready In boats, and
wherever the mackerel are reported in large
bodies there will be plenty of fishermen after
them. AT present the mackerel fleet is
small. as 1t Is hard to get men for cruise.
Late arrivals at outports were schooners
Henry Ellsworth, with 100 barrels; Herald
OF the Morning, with 175 barrels, and Lottie
M. Hoskins, with II barrels. Some earlier
arrivals brought In fares of 200 barrels and
over.
The following vessels caught mackerel the
past week in the North IBay southeast Of
East Point: Schooner S. +. Maker, 100
barrels, large mackerel; schooner Notice, 60
barrels. large mackerel. Schooners Norem-
bega and Leila Linwood report no fish.
These are the only United States vessels in
the bay. Lieutenant Payson of the Fisher
les Protection Service says that he would
like more hookers. Fish are plentiful, but
need larger feet to "reap them out of the
the ground"
The catch of small mackerel In st. Mary's
and Malone Bays. Nova Scotia. is reported
the best 1t has been for 20 years. 1t is esti-
mated that 5000 barrels of mackerel, mostly
small, have been sailed In hogsheads.

A Valuable Invention.

Mr.. Fred Burnham, driver of Hose /. has
invented system in the sleeping apartments
at the en- CINE house, to facilitate getting out
of the room In quicker time than is usual
when an alarm comes in. By a system of
wires and clock work screen door outside
of the sleeping apartment is made to open at
the first blow Of the gong down stairs, which
also causes small gong in the room to
strike, stops the clock at the exact second
the alarm comes In, turns up the gas and Fin
ally takes the clothes from the bed and hangs
them up beside the wall. All the men have
to do is to jump into their boots which are
beside the bed, and quicker than 1t takes to
relate it, the horses are hitched and the
machine is on its way to the fire. At the ex-
piration of five seconds the lights are turned
out and the inside door is shut and locked,
all by this ingenious mechanical arrange
ment.

PORTLAND, August II, 1891
F your wardrobe has
l. never boosted a suit
of light flannels, you
don't know to what heights
summer comfort can be
raised. If you play Tennis
or spend your vacation at
the beach you already own
a suit of course and the
bargain we are advertising
will not appeal to you par
ticularly. It's to those who
have not one that we are
saying this /; to them the
sale of Mems Flannel Out
ing Suits should mean
much.
A few weeks ago we
bought from the man who
makes them his whole
stock of light suits (coat
and trousers) at about half
the regular prices. From
the entire lot only twenty
seven suits are left, and we
need the counter room
they occupy. To be rid of
them quickly we have
marked them now to S.
the suit-S3 for the coat,
s. for trousers - and the
sizes are from IS to 40.
They're the $40 and $I2
sort.
1t is unquestionably the
greatest bargain in Mems

The opium habit, which has long
been one of the hidden sores of our
civilization, now threatens, asserts
the Chicago NeacS, TO break ont in
all the purulence of an open vice.
The assertion is made by the Neaos
that there are $4,000 people in Chi
cago who are addicted to this folly,
and that a majority of the number
are women. The thing is, moreover
increasing in virulence and is rap.
idly spreading its tenancious roots
into all classes Of society. An or.
ganized effort against it. similar to
the temperance crusade has been
suggested, bnt has not thus far re-
suited in a practical demonstra
ton. II the vice is not eradicated
coon it will before long be too pow.
erful to be COPIED with at all.
