The Fast Mail.

The House committee on postofflces and
po5troads did wisely when it included in
the postoffice appropriation bill an item of
Sl96.OOO to cover the expense of the Boston
and Tampa fast mail, against the recon-
mendation Of the Postmaster General. 1t is
to be hoped the House will act as wisely and
pass the appropriation.
1t seems wholly unnecessary to dilate upon
the Importance Of the service. No argu-
ment is necessary to show that any service
which brings twenty-odd cities, two of
which are among the largest In
the world, into close commercial relations is
Of great and increasing benefit to the sec
ton thus provided for. In this instance
that section is the whole Atlantic seaboard,
from Massachusetts, to Florida Boston
New York and Brooklyn are on the line as
well as Jacksonville, Savannah and Charles
ton, and the service is of benefit to the
former cities as well as the latter, though
possibly not in as great degree. Traffic be-
tween the first named cities might be cared
for by other schedules Of quite as high rate
Of speed if the fast mail should
be discontinued; but the main pur-
pose of the service is to afford
thu northern cities quick mail communica-
ton with the cities of the south aud the
southern cities a continuous fast service
over the southern seaboard trunk lines
which otherwise could not be maintained
From Washington south the tide of travel
fluctuates with the season to such extent
that at times the travel does not demand
the high rate OF speed required and main
tanned between the large cities to the north
and northwest Of Washington. The amount
asked by congress is not large, but the re =
suits to be obtained will be most valuable
in continuing legitimate outgrowth Of the
postal system, which has become indispen-
sable to southern business interests.

A United States marshal in Utah is
puzzled as to his duty in violation of the
anti-polygamy law which recently occurred
in his district. A Mormon by the name Of
Butler was the groom at the wedding.
He had no wife before the ceremony, but
at the end Of it he had two. He married
twin sisters by one and the same cere-
mony. The marshal understands the law
to mean that bigamy consists 10 man
marrying a woman while he has another
wife living. Now Buffers wives each
married him at the same time, and being
twins and as like o. two peas, even Butler
himself does not know which said ives"

The king, prince or princellng who Is no


The king, prince or princeling who 10 not
the object of plot to ASA sinate is de-
cidedly behind the times, and may be said
to be ineligible to membership in the "4O0'
of royalty. There is not a castle or manor
in Europe that has not its ghost, nor no.
BILE family but has its skeleton in closet.
Ghosts and family skeletons are fashionable,
and are the pride Of the owners. And so it
has come to be with kings, with plots
against their lives. The king who cannot
boast at least one we'll authenticated plot to
kill him is a nobody, and is not looked upon
as being fit for anything except to lay
corner,stones and open fairs. Possibly that
is why Albert Edward of England is not
more popular among his contemporaries.

The heavy northeast storm which has
prevailed the past three days has not
done any serious damage in this sity or
vicinity, except in washouts and washing
of streets and the loss of few awnings.
About four inches of rain in all fell and
it was greatly needed. This is a remark
ably heavy fall. The sea outside is ire
mendous and large numbers Of coasters
took shelter in our harbor. The Boston
boat and the Lewiston from Bangor for
Boston, that put in here for shelter, sent
their passengers by rail. The tug Mary
Finn towed sloop boat containing two
men to the wharf from Fort Gorges,
where she was in distress. The Demon
est towed several vessels to safe anchor
age that had dragged their anchors.
The yacht Jane of Little Diamond
parted her moorings and went ashore
near Cape Cottage, being total wreck.
The Boston boats sailed from Boston
and Portland after midnight and the
boat from Boston arrived here yesterday
noon. The New York boat sailed about
a. m.

has been connected with steamboats,

SEEING THE WORLD.
Two Portland Youths Set Out to Travel but
Are Bothered by Policemen.

Yesterday noon two Portland youths
returned to their native town to be cor
daily welcomed at the Union Station by
Officer W. R. Frank and escorted to
lodgings at the police station. They are
bright boys, aged IL or II years each,
and the most they have been trying to do
has been to see the great world, which
they have explored as far as Biddeford
and Old Orchard. Their names are
Arthur Smith and Frank Brown. The
Brown boy has a grandmother, Mrs. Jo-
seph Porter, who lives at No. 6 Chestnut
street, and the Smith boy has mother
and stepfather. Young Smith has been in
trouble before for breaking into J. I'll.
McDonald's fish market, and has SEN
tence to the reform school suspended
over him. Both the boys will probably
be brought up for vagrancy and sent to
the reform school. The boys started for
Boston on freight train, but were put
off at Biddeford, where the police took
charge of them. Both were quiet and
we'll behaved and seemed pretty well ac-
customed to tramping it. They have
been at Old Orchard for few days. Pre-
vious to that they had visited Harpswell,
Lewiston, Bangor and the lakes, and ex-
hibited considerable familiarity with the
ms and outs of those places. They had
started for Boston in search of further
adventure. There was some difference
of opinion between them as to whether
Boston was city or state. The Bidde-
ford police sent them back to Portland.
McCallum's season closes Saturday.

TRIP OF THE FREMONT.
It Was a Rough One and Many Had That
Tired Feeling.

The steamer fremont came into port
at 100 p. m. yesterday after an exceed
ingly rough trip from Boston, in fact one
of the toughest ever experienced by the
officers. Owing to the storm the Ire
mont's departure from Boston was de-
layed until nearly midnight. 1t was ex-
ceedingly rough outside and the sea go
ing qualities of the ship were thoroughly
tested. The passengers, that is the
majority of them, were very sick and
were exceedingly glad when the steamer
made fast to the wharf. Last night she
left on time and carried a large number
of passengers. Every passenger had at
least five friends to see him or her safely
on board. 1t was one of the largest
crowds ever on the boat.

The catch to date foots up 34,O73 barrels
against 20, LAT barrels for corresponding
time last year. Receipts at Boston have
been s5s barrels, Of which 535 barrels

for fairly good catch this season are
considered excellent, and large fleet
will start this week, and good hauls are
anticipated.

A NIGHT OF TERROR.
In an Open Boat Off the Cape Friday
Night for Thirteen Hours.

Last Friday morning, two Portland
ladies staying at the Lawson house,
Harpswell, accompanied by two young
men. one of them a recent graduate from
the college at Montreal, left Harpswell
in an open boat for the city. The south
east storm of the night previous had evil
IDENTITY blown itself out, and there seemed
to be signs of clearing weather. The
party reached Portland in safety, al
though they found the sea heavy, for the
wind was strong enough to bring them
along quickly.
The party stayed in town but short
time as they desired to get back to
Harpswell before night set in. If they had
possessed much knowledge of navigation
in these parts they might have seen that
the wind had shifted back into the north
east quarter, and that the signs were
good for a tough storm. But they start
ed off thinking they would have no
trouble. Before they had been Out very
long the wind arose as they reached the
open places where the sea had a sweep
the boat began to labor and the situa-
ton became serious. In lnaneuvering
the boat heavy sea smashed the rud-
der and for few moments the boat mar
rowly escaped swapping. Before con-
troll was obtained the boat was swept out
beyond the line of the islands, and then
most perilous voyage began. The boat
shipped seas while it required the con-
slant efforts of all hands to bail out. AT
times it seemed as if each moment would
be the last that the frail craft would re-
main afioat, tossed as she was, at the
mercy of the storm. The hours passed
as if they were ages. The bowling north
east wind drove the boat before it and
darkness gathered, night came ON, and
the four occupants of the boat. never ex-
pecting to see home again, still strove to
keep their boat afoat and to keep up
their courage. About o'clock Satur-
day morning, after having been exposed
for IS hours, drenched all that time to
the skin and more or less bruised and
battered by the pitching of the boat, the
great waves tossed them into
Simonton's Cove, just beyond Fort
Preble. They were compelled to leave
their boat and wade almost up to their
necks before reaching land, where they
dropped exhausted on the beach.
AS soon as they could gather strength
they sought the first place of shelter, a
fisherman's house and aroused the in
mates, who furnished them dry clothes,
wrapped them in blankets, and gave
them thorough warming, and later in
the morning they came in town in one
of the barges that run from the Cape
to the city. Their friends at Harpswell
supposed they were safe in town, and
their friends in Portland supposed they
were in Harpswell. Some of the party
are suffering from the exposure. 1t was
anarrow escape from death, and a night
of terror to all concerned.
