ON THE WATER FRONT.
william Fogg Does Good Deed-Police-
men as Dressing Maids.

Long wharf seemed to be the centre of
activity on Commercial street yesterday.
In the first place big mastiff that prom
enades in this vicinity walked off the
wharf and fell into the dock with great
splash: He soon found that it was much
easier to get in than to get out. In his
despair he made for a log; but the more
he attempted to climb onto it the faster
it rolled. A big crowd had by this time
assembled, and many were the plans de-
vised for rescuing the poor beast. FL
nally William Fogg, who seemed the
most fertile in expedients, got out over
the water on projecting beam and
threw Topped rope SO it was gotten
around the dogs body. Then the so
men present were able to see the dog
hauled out, and feel that they had as
sisted in good deed.
The schooner Minnesota, lying at Long
wharf, was the scene of another interest
ing scene. A comely Indian squaw,
quite we'll known about this town, was
found in the schooner utterly drunk and
clad very scantily. Before she could be
taken to the station it was necessary to
dress her. This was accomplished by
the officers, who did the work with as
much skill as any French dressing maid
could boast.

LINCOLN CLUB MEETING.
Hon. Chas. #. Libby Gave an Interesting
Address Last Evening.

Although there was rough weather out
side last evening, the Lincoln Club had
an extremely interesting meeting at its
pleasant rooms in Monument Square.
VIM. G. Soule, Esq, offered resolu-
tons of sympathy for Mr.. Robert W.
Jackson, one of the vice presidents, in
the death of his wife.
VIM. L. Harvey and S. H. Gilvey were
elected to membership.
President Morrill, then introduced in
few graceful words Hon. Chas. F. Libby.
Mr.. Libby in commencing expressed
his pleasure at having the opportunity
to address the club. He said that he
had always been a Republican, never
having swerved from the faith. Though
the most popular man in the party has
withdrawn from the field, it is yet, as it
always has been, rich in candidates. No
calm observer can complain of the pres
emit administration and the opinion is
daily increasing that President Harrison
is gaining in knowledge, confidence and
respect. ssMr. Libby then passed on to
| describe his recent western trip. When
| the people learned that the speaker was
! from Maine, they were very anxious re-
garding Mr.. Blaine. If one question
was asked him daily about the great
statesman, there were surely twenty or
thirty. Democrats as well as Republicans
| affirmed that he should have, their sup
port.
| Denver is the most wonderful city
west of the Mississippi. 1t has grown
from a population of 10000 ten years ago
to one of 10000 at the present time. It's
/ whole management is worthy of one
three times as large. The hotels, public
conveyances, water works and public
institutions are magnificent The real
estate is valuable. AT some places it
seems that gold dollars laid over the
surface would not reach the value.
The churches have windows which vie
4 with the finest cathedrals in Europe in
architecture Drunkenness does not seem
to be marked characteristic although
| they have not adopted some of our
laws. Pluck, courage and enterprise are
| greater characteristics in the West than
in the East. The Mormons as artisans
and agriculturists are to be respected.
| At the close of the address a rising
| vote of thanks was extended to Mr.. Lib
| by and he was invited to address the
| club on the same subject again.

Go and Register.

If Republicans do not desire to see
their ticket defeated on Monday next
they should at once go before the Board
of Registration and see that their names
are placed on the lists. 1t is no doubt
true that large number of Republicans
have the opinion that the party ticket
will of course be elected, but it is just
this sort of confidence that is sometimes
misplaced. The Democrats are working
for all they are worth, and are register
ing steadily, early and late, hoping to OBJ
tain victory. Don't let them succeed
in their plan.

CuSHMAN'S ANSWER.
He Tells the Circumstances of the Seizure
of Those HOLSTERS.

YESTERDAY Warden Cushman's reply to
the libel of the Portland Steam Packet
Company was filed with the clerk OF the
United States Court.
The libel claimed that as part of the
cargo of the steamer fremont on Decem-
Der 31st were twelve barrels of Holsters
consigned to Wood g Cheesboro, and
eight barrels to A. e. Potter & Co., both
of New York. 1t is claimed that these
Holsters were duly entered upon the
steamers freight list. In the fourth ar
ticle of the libel it is claimed that after
the receipt of the Holsters, and while in
prosecution of the voyage, Warden Cush-
man pretended to seize the Holsters as a
warden of the state; and after seizing
them, broke the heads of the barrels and
threw the contents overheard. This was
done in spite of the protests of the Off
GERS, who claimed that the warden had
no right to interfere with the cargo while
on board the vessel in transit.
These are the portions of the libel
bearing directly upon the case
at issue, and to this Warden Cushman,
through Geo. E. Bird, Esq, his attorney,
makes answer, denying ''that there were
taken ON board said steamer before sail
ing at said Portland, twenty barrels of
lobsters,n and further denies the allega-
tions as to his course in selling the lob
sters, but in answer to the material ale
cations of the article says: "That on
the evening of the 31st day of Decem-
Der, 1892, he took passage for Boston on
| said steamer fremont then lying in her
| berth at Franklin wharf, that shortly at
ter said steamer sailed, and when said
steamer had reached a point easterly OF
the breakwater in the harbor of said
Portland, said steamer began to slow
down, and this respondent at the same
time, from his position on the deck OF
said steamer, observed off the port bow
of said steamer, the running lights of a
steam vessel distant apparently from one
| quarter to one half mile, that the course
of said steamer was thereupon directed
towards the lights aforesaid and shortly
after, when said steamer had nearly
reached the vessel carrying said lights,
the latter, which proved to be tow boat
steamed alongside the former on the port
side forward of the paddle box; that
thereupon there were transshipped from
said towboat to the deck of said steamer
seventeen barrels The answer goes on
further to say that while the tranship-
ping was going on Warden Cushman
came forward. Seeing him, the tow
boat got underway taking the three bar
rels not yet transferred. AS the tow
boat departed, and before the fremont
got underway, he seized the Holsters which
were less than 103 inches long, and threw
them into the sea. The respondent
claims that these Holsters, being shorter
than the lawful limit, were not property
and not capable of being legally
possessed by any person. but contraband.

What is the Free Street Mission doing?
This was the subject of a very interest
ing discourse given before large and in
telligent audience at the Free Street Mis-
sion on Sunday evening,
Some six monts ago this Mission was
opened for public worship by a young
man with some previous experience in
mission work in several cities in the
United States and by his untiring zeal he
has not only been successful in building
up the walls of Zion, but has won the
confidence of many Christian friends in
this grand and noble work of spreading
the gospel. K. M.

To the Editor Of the Press:
I noticed in recent issue of the PRESS
the statement that was preparing a pa
per which would connect the Kennebec
valley with the Huguenot emigration to
America, and that had records of the
baptism of an infant in Dresden accord
ing to the Lutheran rites. Be kind
enough to correct the statement to the
extent of saying that the baptism was of
a whole family in France only afew years
after the revocation of the edict of
Nantes, and that family with their
French brethren, of the Confession of
Augsburg, settled in Frankfort planta-
ton, near the town of Dresden. The sto-
nv is an interesting one.
