THE TIBER.

business portion of the city. where the finest
stores now stand, was sluggish. muddy creek,
at first dignifed bv the classic name 1.-The
Tiber," but soon reduced to the commonplace
and mental office of serving a natural open
sewer for the surrounding district ssfhe
Tiber' is supposed to have received its name
from one OF the early settlers named Pope,
whose plantation on the top OF the hill where the
Capitol now stands was called Rome, in the be-
lief that in the course of time an American
capital greater than the Roman would arise on
the site OF his possessions. The entire western
section Of the city. extending from the river to
Meridian Hill and Rock creek was for the
greater portion trackless marsh, and some of
the Oldest inhabitants recollect today that wears
ago in rainy weather the mules and horses pass
ing up Pennsylvania avenue would often sink to
their backs in the mud. There were no con-
structed sewers, neither was there water nor gas

played in his methods. and by reason Of his

AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
During period Of two weeks, in the spring
OF 1872. the Washington board of public works,
OF which Shepherd was then chairman, sat in
conference with the park commissioners Of
New York. Brooklyn, Philadelphia aud Buffalo,
and jointly examined, tested and considered
pavements Of all kinds, after which the board
visited Boston and western cities with the view
OF thoroughly investigating the various systems
employed in the construction Of streets. The
complete investigation which WIS thus afforded

one-hah miles Of wood block paveinents, twenty
eight and one-half miles OF asphalt and ninety
three miles Of cobble, gravel and macadam, and

carefully noted. Time developed the fact that

The New journal.

The journal is issued this morning in
its new and enlarged form. The advance
announcements leave little to be said now,
and we cannot tell at this writing how
successfully our new machinery may work.
Possibly yes. probably. there will be some
shortcomings but if so they will be
promptly rectiiied.
1t is the usual custom at the beginning
Of Il new volume to outline policy for
the coming wear. The Journal policy
knows no deviation. and ii has always
preferred that what ii has done should be
taken as an earnest of what it will do. Its
cardinal principle is to lend a helping
hand to every worthy pursuit and enter
prise in which Maine people may be en-
gagged, ON land or sea 1t will also aid
promotion of good morals and good citi-
zensllip. and ii viii do all it can to en-
courage the literary musical and artistic
tastes of its readers. 1t is a firm believer
in Maine. in Maine men and women. and
III the resources and capabilities Of the
Pine Tree State. and while devoted prin-
cipally to the county and section in which
it is printed. wants to see the whole State
grow and prosper.
Politically the journal will uphold the
principles of the Republican party. be
lieving the policy of that party to be the
one best calculated to promote the pros
perity of the people. and to maintain the
prestige and dignity of the Nation. For
the rest, we prefer to let the paper speak
for itself from week to week. 1t adj
dresses large constituency of intelligent
and appreciative readers. and hopes to

Rheumatic Oil Company Gone Up.

On Friday pr. l.. W. Hammond manager
of the Rheumatic Oil Company, placed an at
tachment on the stock for personal service,
and on Saturday at a meeting il was decided
that practically the concern is dead Dr.
Hammond saws he does not know what the
future may bring forth. The company was
organized june Goth with a capital stock of
$4,000 The shares We're $50 each. DR..
Jewett, the maker of the formula held the
largest number of shares. He became EN-
barrassed and disposed of his stock for what
ever he could get. This rather deprecated
the stock of the company.
DR.. Hammond says til e medicine takes
we'll, and if there was money behind it, it
would become good stock. H lamentS the
collapse of the enterprise, but is satisfied
that it requires money to make it 90.

RESULT OF CARELEssNEss.

Charles DeCourse Had His Right Leg
Badly Crushed in the Anderson Elevator
"A Drummer Pulled tho Rope Before
the Boy Was Inside.
Charles DeCourse, the colored elevator
boy at the Anderson, had his right leg
crushed yesterday, the result of the care
lessness of G. L. Minshall, Cincinnati
drummer. Minshall got on the elevator to
60 to his room on the third floor. He
thoughtlessly pulled the rope, supposing
the boy was all right DeCourse was clos
ing the door, and the sudden start threw
hin, off his feet The right leg was still out
of the car, and it caught between the ele-
vator and the first floor The limb was
frightfully mangled from the knee to the
hip, and later was amputated at the Homeo-
pathic hospital.
Minshali, it appears, did not discover the
boys peril until he was aroused by the poor
fellows cry of pain. Then the drummer
was so badly frightened that he could do
nothing. When the elevator was brought
down Minshall sank into chair exhausted.
His face was ashen and his eyes rolled
wildly, Near him lying on the floor Of the
rotunda, writhing in pain, was the poor
colored boy. A crowd gathered around the
injured lad and he was soon taken to the
hospital.
Minshall went to the Central station and
gave his name. His mental suffering was
sad to behold. He walks to his room now,
and it is doubtful if he can ever be induced
to enter an elevator again. He is quiet
man, and the clerks of the hotel who know
him we'll give him a good reputation.
DeCourse is about q years old, and halls
from Baltimore. Late last evening be was
resting easy.
