The Harbor Ice.

The milder weather of yesterday caused
some of the ice in the upper harbor to
break away, and during the latter part of
the afternoon a large foe containing about
two acres drifted down with the tide to
point opposite Custom House wharf.
This ice was about six inches thick, but
the tugs cut through it without any
great trouble, and by this means it was
successfully divided until it offered prac-
tically no impediment to navigation. The
lower part of the harbor is clear, as it
has been all along, and navigation con-
tinues practically unimpeded SO far as
Portland harbor is concerned.

THE COAL SUPPLY.
The Cold Weather Has Frozen in the ves-
sells Bringing Fuel to this Port and Con-
sequcntly an Inconvenient Situation
Arises.

The severe cold weather has caused
quite serious scarcity in the coal sup
ply of the city. Portland's coal supply
is brought here principally by barges
and coasters that drop into the harbor
from the Delaware river every few days.
tits large business, which affects not
only Portland but large part of Eastern
Maine, and even considerable section
of Northern New England. Portland
harbor has been at no time in such a
condition as to prevent the coal vessels
coming in with the greatest freedom;
but not SO with the navigation to the
westward. Long Island Sound is badly
frozen and many vessels are detained in
that vicinity. A large coal fleet is lying
at Vineyard Haven, unable to proceed on
account of the cold and ice. In the feet
are number of vessels bound for Port
land, with the coal that Portland dealers
are needing in their holds. The situa-
ton has already caused not little in
convenience.

Babies burning up, babies in agony from
itching and burning eczemas and other

how these little ones suffer when their
tender skins are literally on fire. To
know that single application of the Gu.
TIcURA REMEDIES will in the great ma
jority of cases afford instant relief per-
nit rest and sleep, and point to a perma-
nent and economical because most
speedy cure, and not to use them is to
fail in your duty. Think of the years of
suffering entailed by such neglect,
years not only of physical but # mental
suffering by reason of personal disfigure-
ment. Why delay moment longer the
use of these great skin cures, blood
purifier, and humor remedies ? Cures
made in infancy and childhood are
speedy, economical, and almost invariab-
" permanent.

would be another railroad in that
part of the city. Bridge streets,
be again emphasized, always killed
commerce.
They didn't want two bridges, but
a bridge. He want d the centre of
trade convenient to both sides. To
get the trade of Falls county, if that

to build a br :dge lower down.
FOR FRANKLIN STREET.
Mr.. Chamberlin, of the Chamber.
lin Investment company, was the
advocate of Franklin street. The
friends of that location, he said, had
brought forward such sound argu.
ments that their opponents could
not dispute them, although Mr..
Mann wanted to 60 back fifteen
years. East Waco people stood in
their own light.
He never had sold anybody q
house in East Waco that had cost
more than $500. The selection of
Franklin street as the bridge location
would be the prettiest real estate
business that ever existed.
II TWO BRIDGES, WEBSTER.
Mr.. w, S. kinchlow said there
seemed to be two ideas among the
people. Some wanted one bridge;
some wanted two. If there were
going to be two bridges in all COM
mon sense one of them should be at
Webster street, but he thought that
one good bridge at the present To-
cation would be best.
At p O'Clock the committee ad
journed to o'clock this afternoon.
VOTING STRENGTH OF LOCALITIES.
Mr.. w. d. Lacy submits the fol-
lowing as the votiog estimate of the
different parts of the city after the

third ward, south 500; fourth ward
south, l,l0o; the voters favoring
location south of Austin being
in majority of 800.
