Portland Typographical Union.

The regular monthly meeting of the
Portland Typographical Union was held
Saturday evening and proved one of the
largest and most harmonious meetings
ever held by that body. The most i'm
portant business that was transacted
was in relation to the union label. This
label can only be used by printing offices
whose employees are all members of the
union, OF an Office which will use its en-
deavors to become union Office Tin the
latter case the label can be loaned for a
specified time, but cannot be given out
right.) Applications were received for
this label from the prominent firms of
Stephen Berry and Owen 6 Strout, and
it was unanimously voted that Stephen
Berry should have the label as being a
union Office, and that Owen & Strout
should be loaned it for one month.
The union unanimously voted to join
the Central Labor Union and five dele
gates.were elected.
A committee was appointed to revise
the price list and report at the next meet
ing, and committee appointed to re-
wise the constitution and bylaws and
have them printed.
At the next meeting steps will be taken
to provide larger quarters for the use of
the union, as the present hall is not large
enough for their increasing members.

SUICIDE IN EAST pEERlNe.
Mr.. William Henry Cox Yields to Temper
ary Insanity.

Mr.. William Henry Cox, an aged man
who has lived with his son-in-law, Mr.
Ezekiel H. Hanson, on Kidder street,
East Deering, committed suicide yester-
day noon. Mr. Cox, who was 81 years
old, and in somewhat feeble health, oc-
cupied room on the second floor OF Mr..
Hansons house. About noon the family
heard slight noise overhead; but
thought nothing of it. A little later,
however, they sent their little boy up to
call his grandfather. The little fellow
opened the door and found the room full
of smoke. Thereupon he ran below and
informed his parents, who Immediately
went to the room. They found it full
of powder smoke, through which they
discovered the body of MI. Cox lying in
a heap, with a shot gun by his side. He
was dead, the end having evidently come
instantly. From the position of the body
and the gun it is evident that he had
stood in the middle of the floor, held the
muzzle of the gun to his forehead, and
then discharged the gun by pushing
short stick against the trigger.
Mr.. Cox had been in fair health, hav-
ing been able to be in the city on Satur-
day; but he was subject to considerable
pain at times, accompanied by periods OF
dependency, during which he would
talk of suicide
Mr.. Cox was an Englishman by birth, and
in his youth served for five years as
clerk in the English navy. He came to
this country forty years ago OF more. he
became house painter by trade, follow
ing that calling for many years. In his
old age he has employed his leisure max
ing the tiny ships which are seen in SO
many shop windows in this city, and
which are such faithful models of the
originals He was very intelligent,
genial man, much liked by those who
knew him.
He leaves four children, Mrs. Ezekiel
H. Hanson of East Deering, Mrs. James
Thompson of Calais, Mr.. John Cox OF
Lafayette street, Portland, and Mr..
Charles Cox, who lives in Massachusetts.
Coroner Gould and Undertaken Martin
went out to East Deering yesterday after
noon and viewed the remains. Coroner
Gould decided that it was clear case of
suicide, and that no inquest would be
necessary.
The funeral will occur tomorrow at 2
o'clock at MI. Hanson's residence on
Kidder street, East Deering.

HIS SECURITIES DISAPPEAR.
An Old Portland Merchant Goes to the
AImshouse.

Saturday afternoon, Mr.. Frank d. Lit
tie walked into the police station, said he
was ready to go the almshouse and was
taken over in the aims house team.
Mr.. Frank d. Little is one of Port
lands old merchants. He was partner
in the past in the old and we'll known
firm of Winslow & Little, OF which the
late MI. Hezekiah Winslow was senior
partner. Mr.. Little, in those days, was
very elegant man, the pink of fashion in
dress, and most courtly in manner. Even
in these later days, when he had passed
his four-score birthday, he retained the
same charming manner towards those
who shared his acquaintance.
Mr.. Little was always supposed to be
wealthy man. He never lived extrava-
gantly. For years he made his home at
the Preble House, where he occupied an
unpretentious room. He was supposed
to be worth anywhere from $50, 900 to
$4,000. He had box in the Safe De-
posit Company vaults in which he kept
his securities. Once in a while, he would
take out bond, sell it, deposit the mon
ey in the savings bank, and draw it out
as he wanted it. He used to carry round
in late years $3.50 at time.
For some little while his mind has
been falling; that is, his powers of MEM
ory weakened. He would converse on
financial topics as brightly and clearly as
ever, but he would ask the same ques-
ton over several times within short
time, and show forgetfulness in other
ways. Itis said he drew $500 out of the
savings bank short time ago, and in
few days he had spent it all, and couldn't
tell where it had gone. There was talk
a short time ago Of having a guardin APP
pointed for him. Mr.. Gibson, of the
Preble House, suggested that it ought to
be done. But Mr.. Little was peculiar
and self-willed, and no one who had the
right to interfere liked to take the first
steps. Some months ago he moved from
the Preble to the st. Julian, and still
later to the Merchants Exchange. Here
he had a severe fitfof sickness lately, and
gave a. note for his board bill. When
one of his relatives heard of the sick
ness he went to see MI. Little. The sick
man said he had been robbed or else he
had lost his securities. He said he went
a little while before to the Deposit Vault
and withdrew tin box containing $780,
600 in bonds, and what had become of
them he couldn't tell. He gave the rela-
tive an order on the Deposit Company
to let him go to his box and see what it
contained. The relative took Mr.. Fred
Fox to the vault with him, and all the
box contained was savings bank book
with a balance to Mr.. Little's credit of
about $37. Inquiry at the bankers and
brokers failed to reveal the purchase or
sale Of bonds by MI. Little for years in
any amount. The question now is had
MI. Little less money than was supposed
and had used it all up, still imagining he
was wealthy, or did he have the securi-
ties and hide them somewhere that he
can't remember, or did he give them
away, or was he robbed of them. Pos
sibly no one will ever know.

NEW ENGLAND LEAGUE.
Shall Portland Be Represented the Com
ing Season.

The base ball season is already be-
ginning. The Brooklyn and Philadel-
phia clubs are on starring tour in
Florida, prior to the opening OF the sea-
son later in the North. The Bostons
will leave on March % for Charlottes-
vile. Va, for southern tour. Mean
while there is strong talk of putting into
the field New England league, to be
on moderate salary basis, with rigor-
ous punishment for refraction of the rule.
The great trouble in the past has been
that in the anxiety of the various clubs
to get the lead and attract audiences,
more money has been paid to get expert
players than the situation warranted.
This rivalry was ruinous, and it is be-
ieved that it will be done away with in
the New England League this year. For
membership in this league the following
places are mentioned: Providence
Worcester, Lowell, Manchester, Haver
hill, Lawrence, Portland and Lewiston,
with Brockton, Dover, Nashua, Concord
and Fitchburg as possibilities. Several
of these cities have ball grounds already
fitted up, thus removing heavy ex-
pense at the outset. The suggestion has
been made that Boston should also fig
ure as member of the new league. The
consent of the owners of the Boston
league club would have to be gained, but
it is thought that this might be done un-
der certain conditions A call has been
issued for a meeting at the fremont
House in Boston for next Friday evening
of all parties interested in the organiza-
ton OF, New England league. 1t is is
sued by T. P. Lowell, president of the
New England league of last year, at the
request of gentlemen representing sew
eral cities, and if the movements found
to have awakened a general interest in
its favor, it will be prosecuted to the
end.
Mr. Lowell was in New York at the
league meeting, and had several confer
ences with Presidents Williams of the
Western league and White of the Eastern
league, and obtained from them much
valuable information as to the plans
their respective organizations propose to
pursue, and the result of these inter-
views MI. Lowell will impart at Friday
evenings meeting. He feels confident
that if the mistakes made last year are
avoided this year, and a leauge formed
on basis somewhat near that adopted
by the Western and Eastern leauges, it
can be made success.
