Mills Still Closed.

From present indications Westbrook
has just begun to feel the depression in
business. When the Westbrook company
shut down it was intimated that the mills
would be running at the end of the five
weeks vacation. Now it is reported that
this corporation will not start up its idle
looms until the other manufacturing con
Germs of the county resume operations.
The Haskell Silk company, SO it is re-
ported, will start up for few days the
last of the week, and then lay by until
times are better.

A BRAVE OFFICER.
He Jumped Into the Dock and Saved a
Drowning Boy, and Then IL look
Four Men to Save Him.


Yesterday forenoon, Special ofhcer
Reuel Field, of the Portland ponce force,
performed an act of heroism that nearly
cost him his life. Eighteen or twenty
small boys were in swimming near the
Grand Trunk wharf known as the OIL
wharf. In the midst of the sport, one
of the boys, who was as naked as all the
others, tainted while in the water ana De-
gan to drown. He had gone down Twice
and was just sinking for the third time
when Officer Field saw him, and at once
jumped in after him. There was des-
perate struggle, which soon drew quite a
crowd. Mr.. Field managed to get the
boy into such position that ne could be
dragged out, and then came the ques-
ton of his own rescue. He was much
exhausted and unable to get out OF the
water alone, but four yard men from the
Cram Trunk ran down, and by their
united efforts managed to pull him out.
The boy had by this time vanished, and
Officer Field could not ascertain his
name.

ANOTHER REDUCTION.
The Eastern Forge Company Have Decided
to Make Cut in Wages Instead of Dis
charging Any of Their Men.

The managers of the Eastern Forge
Company at East Deering have announced
a reduction of wages. The reason is the
depression of business caused by the pres
ent resurrection of good old Democratic
times. The reduction is graded as fol-
lows Men receiving from one to two
dollars per day are reduced IS cents per
day. Those receiving from two to three
dollars are cut down 80 cents day, and
those getting three dollars and upwards
so cents. The managers of the company
have preferred to reduce wages rather
than let go any of their men. It was re-
ported yesterday, however, that the men
who did not wish to submit to the reduc-
ton had given notice that they should
leave the employment of the company.
About hundred men are employed at
the works.

Depending on the Banks for Fan Good

Depending ON the Banks for Fall Goods.
One big Portland house is wondering
what accommodation they can get from
the banks in the fall. The concern buys
it's goods for the year in the fall, and for
ten years has pursued one plan. This
has been to borrow the requisite sum
from the bank on three months time.
By this method was realized all the adj
vantage of having a large amount of per-
sonal capital toput into the business; it
was, however, much more profitable, for
during nine months of the year the per
sonal capital would be of no use and
would be locked up idle. This house is
somewhat anxious, therefore. If it can
not borrow the thousands necessary to
buy its stock the inconvenience will be
seriously felt. There are other business
men similarly situated, and it all illus
trates the necessity of prompt action on
the part of the law-givers if we are to
start in seasonably on a good fall bust
ness. 49,

A Feast of Young Be1shazzars.

Some young boys on Commercial street
found car load of bananas on Union
wharf yesterday. The bananas belonged
to Thompson 6 Hall, but they were toe

a great feast for time, until the police
were heard from, and one of the boys,
James Harrigan, was seized and locked
up. The officers are still on the " al
path and any boys with shreds of ban
anas in the corners of their mouths would
do well to seclude themselves today.

rive Of the reservoir Pipes Were cracked

A test was made of the drain pipe from
the reservoir yesterday and two of the
pines were found cracked. In both cases
the break was on the top of the pipe and
was probably caused by falling stones
when the embankment fell in, as paving
stones were found imbedded in the earth
around them when they were uncovered.
The line will be repaired and tested by
pressure before the trench is again filed.

A DIVIDED SYNAGOGUE.
The Davis.Sadsrsky Suit Ends in
Riot.
Hard Trials of MIR. Moses Brown, Secretary
of the Synagogue, and a witness in the
Breach of Promise Case.

A very sensational affair occurred at
the Jewish Synagogue on Fore street
Sunday evening The public have
already been treated to an account of the
love affair of Mr.. Samuel Davis, the
Fore street clothier, who does business
under the firm name of Davis Brothers.
The maiden to whom Mr.. Davis had
plighted his faith is named Miss Lizzie
Sadersky, and she lives in Boston. The
fact that she has begun breach of
promise suit, and that the matter has
been referred to the Rabbi here in Port
land with results satisfactory to neither
side, has already been stated. An, i'm
portant witness in the case of Sadersky
VS.. Davis is Mr.. Moses Brown, who is also
secretary of the synagogue on Fore street.
Secretary Brown in his capacity as wit
ness does not give such testimony as
Davis could wish that he would, hence
much bitterness and hard feeling. This
feeling eliminated Sunday night at
the synagogue in a great uproar and
fight, in which Secretary Brown claims
that he was most despitefully used. He
tells the following story:
After the services were over some one
told Mr.. Bernstein, president of the syna-
gogue, that Secretary Brown was wanted
in the entryway. So Mr.. Brown answered
the summons. He says that he entered
the:dark hallway and wassust descending
the stairs when Hermann Davis, a
brother of Samuel, pounced upon him
and began to kick him. Then Israel
Davis, another brother, appeared, and
with his fists supplemented the assault
of Hermann. Then in an instant Mrs.
Fanny Sivovles, a married sister of the
Davis brothers, appeared with club,
which she used upon the now soreIy be-
leaguered secretary, Moses Brown. At
the same time Hermann Davis got hold
of the victims ear with his teeth, and
began to chew. Mr.. Brown at this juno
tion began to cry loudly for help, and
several rushed from the synagogue to his
rescue. It is alleged that the Davises
held the doors for time to prevent the
rescuers from arriving; but whether this
is so or not, they ultimately did arrive
and rescued Mr.. Brown, who was taken
at once to his home. Then two doctors
were summoned, as he was apparently
much hurt.
The Davis brothers after the affair was
over went to the police station and said
that they were ready to answer to any
charges. They tell very different story
from that of Secretary Brown. They say
that Brown called Samuel Davis out of
the synagogue and said to him, II want
a settlement"
what sort of settlement do you
want?" said Davis.
"This kind" said Brown, and at this
point according to the story of the Davis
brothers, he struck Davis in the face.
After that the Davis family rallied, and
there was great and memorable schism
in the synagogue.
Secretary Brown has engaged Frank &
Larrabee as his counsel, and the courts
will probably look into the matter 1t
has already created much stir in the
vicinity and among the members of the
synagogue.
