A NEW ROAD TO OLD ORCHARD.
A Possible Scheme that PortIanders VIII
Appreciate.

A movement is on foot at Scarboro that
is of great interest to Portland, Pine
Point and Old Orchard. The present
road from Portland to Old Orchard goes
by the way of Dunstan's Corner. The
present plan is to lay out road across
the marsh and Dunstan' S river, from Blue
Point to Plummer's Neck, bridging the
river short distance above the track of
the western division of the Boston and
Maine railroad. By this new arrange
nent the distance to Old Orchard from
Portland would be shortened about four
miles, and from Oak Hill would give a
straight road and very pleasant drive to
that watering place.

The Blame for Delay at the Draw.

The Blame for Delay at the Draw.
lis said that the delay at the draw on
the Cape bridge was not due SO much to
Mr.. Jordan, the draw tender, as to the
captain of the schooner Major Pickands,
the vessel that was going through. The
captain, to save 81, dispensed with the
services of tug and hauled his vessel
through himself. 1t took him a very long
time, but the draw tender was hardly to
blame, as there was no chance for the
draw to be closed after the four-master
had once got started.

THE NATIONAL BANKS.
ADVERSE REPORT ON TIE BILL DIS
CONTINUING THEIR CIRCULATION.
Senator Morrill, SAYS 1t Would Largely
Decrease tho Amount of Available
Money-Wouid Cause II Radical Change
in the Banking Business of the Country
"A Dotriment to tho General Welfare

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. Senator Nor
rlll to-day reported adversely Senator Coke's
bill to amend the law regarding national
bank associations 80 as to discontinue their
circulation.
In tho report submitted MIR. Morrill, says
it is obvious that the bill would cause
large reduction on the day of its passage or
the money now in circulation and create
severe contraction by prohibiting the banks
at onco from using their circulating notes
and would also compel them within six
months TO curtail and collect their loans TO
such an extent would enable them to re-
deem their entire circulation.
The sudden collection Of this large
amount OF Indebtedness would be difficult,
he says, and might involve serious loss.
At present, says the senator, there is n
small but steady increase in the circulation
of national banks which has been in prog
re-s for the past year; and sudden meas
ure practically winding up and exter-
minatng national banks, would, he thinks,
be a national disaster.
Continuing, he suys: Glow national
banking associations eau be expected to sur
vive and flourish after ali ligaments have
been sundered that have hitherto bound
them to the nation, is problem that needs
ing all been redeemed and also tho bonds
which were deposited for the security of
these notes, 1t would seem as though the
banks were completely divorced from the
nation and might assume new names and
continue the banking business if they
choose to do so, in any State where
the laws of the State do no forbid it. The
permission to loan ON real estate security,
if accepted, would at once change the rune
ton of national bank associations to that OF
savings banks and embark them into bust
ness with which they are wholly uuacquaint I
ed and would be likely TO involve them III
serious lose. -
In conclusion Senat or Morrill, SAYS that,
without considering the points OF the bill,
it is enough to say that the measure is pre-
mature and that It's general effect would
not DO to promote the general welfare OF
| the country.

Church Diyided-Other Interesting
New England News.

WORCESTER, Mass. Feb. o9--There Is
much excitement in the northeast section
OF the city over recent assaults upon
women. Saturday night about o'clock
two Swedish servant girls were accosted
on Belmont street by young man who
offered to see them home. The girls
Thought he was intoxicated, and, rs they
were on n public street and under an cleo
trio light, paid no attention to him.
They turned down Hooper street to
make call, when the man came after
them on the run. The girls were fright
ened and ran. One of them took refuge in
a house. and the other darted into back
yard. The man followed the latter, and,
catching up with her, threw an arm
around her, and, as the girl thought,
struck her in the face. She screamed, and
a man with lantern came out of barn
toward her upon which her assailant fled
II was then discovered that the girl had
been seriously cut with razor or Il sharp
knife There We're three cuts, one of about
four inches long across the left side of the
head, another about two inches long clear
through the upper lip, and third made
a superficial wound across the throat
three inches long. A surgeon was EN-
ploycd an hour in stitching up and band
aging the wounds. The victims name is
August sta Book. She is % years of age and
lives in the family Of ]. A. Adams
About half an hour before a girl was az
sauted on Summer street. She was
hustled into II doorway in the Dean build
ing, but she screamed and her assailant
ran. A crowd quickly gathered, but the
man managed TO escape.
a third assault was made Saturday
evening OIL Prescott street, when girl
named McFev was struck with Il coupling
pin, but not seriously injured.
All these streets lead out of Lincoln
square. 1t is supposed the assailant was
the seme man in all three places.
The police think the fellow is crank,
and that he may be one of two insane
paupers who escaped lew days ago from
the city almshoUse

New HAVEN, Feb. 29.-A year ago Cap
tain Seeley, a well-known resident of the

Hahn, however, had disappeared and no
