Trotting on the Ice.

The great majority of the speedy
horses of Portland and vicinity were to
be seen yesterday afternoon on the new
track on the ice of Back Bay, though a
few were still to be seen on the old
speeding ground Of Portland street.
The ice track is broad and of course
perfectly level 1t commences from
point nearly opposite the baseball
grounds, and is about three fourths of a
mile in length, skirting along the Deer
ing shore to point over in the neighbor-
hood of Woodfords. With the shelter of
the bank and the trees along the wester-
" side made it is much more comfortable
than the Portland street track, it being
considerably protected from the cold
westerly AMI northerly winds. A lesser
parallel track is for the benefit Of those
who want to see the sport but do not care
to take part in it.
Upwards of fifty of our feetest horses
were speeding over it yesterday after
noon at about three o'clock, and many
spirited brushes resulted. The track
was still further improved by the use of
the city's snow clearing machine, there
being no use for it just now on the
streets and the public horses needing
exercise.

LIEUTENANT PEARY.
His Lectures Are Meeting with Much Fa-
yor-His Plans.

Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, who has
passed the last two Sundays at the home
eff his mother at Pleasantdale. is having
great success with his lecturing tour.
He speaks to large audiences everywhere
and has his dates all filled for lectures
every day in the week, and sometimes
more than one day. This week he is
speaking in New Jersey and New York
state. There is, we understand, a move
ment to have Mr.. Peary lecture in Port
land before the season is over. He is a
good speaker and shows about 100 views
of scenes in the far north. He also has
with him several dogs and sledges, such
as he used in his journey in Greenland.
Lieutenant Peary will continue lis lee
lures in this country until about May list.
He will then sail for Europe and remain
month, speaking before various scien-
tific societies there. He will then re-
turn to this country in time to start for
Greenland again about June list.
He will land on the same sound that
he did on his last trip, but at point
nearer the interior ice. 1t is not yet GER
tain whether Mrs. Peary will accompany
the explorer on this trip.
1t is understood that Lieutenant Peary
gets handsome remuneration for his
lectures.

COMPANY A.
Captain Dow Resigns-The Verdict of thu
Court Martial Against seiderquest.

Yesterday morning Captain George A
Dow, Of the Portland Light Infantry, Co.
A, sent his resignation to the Adjutant
General, through Colonel Kendall. This
is result of the court martial recently
held in this city on the case of Second
Lieutenant Seiderquest Capt. Dow and
others felt that Lieut.. Seiderquest's atti-
tude towards the company was detri-
mental, and preferred charges against
him. The court martial was held, and
we understand that it's verdict was that
Lieut.. Seiderquest should be dismissed.
This was in the form of recommends
ton to the commander-in-chief. But for
some reason, perhaps on account of red
tape, this recommendation was not car
ried out, and Lieut.. Seiderquest still re-
mains in the company Captain Dow
became impatient at this situation, SO
detrimental to company discipline, and
rendered his resignation.
Captain Dow has been in command of
the company for two years, and has
maintained it in a state of discipline and
prosperity.

approval of 1.-THE board, has caused the
snow to be cleared from large space on
the ice of the Deering Oaks pond, and
large crowds are enjoying the exhilerat-

ground was still further improved. The
present is the best and most protracted
skating season for many years, and by
foo ing and scraping, the park conn.,

Europe Gets 1t Too.
LONDON, January 16-The weather
throughout Europe is intensely cold In
Russia the mercury has fallen to 690 be-
low zero, and in Siberia to 1872 below.
Wood fires are kept burning in the
streets of st. Petersburg for the benefit
of wayfarers. All river and canal traffic
in Germany is interrupted. Navigation

TRIESTE, January 16.-A terrific storm
has swept this c ty since 10 this morning.
Sleet or snow has fallen necessarily. The
wind has blown hurricane. Tiles and
chimneys were blown into the streets.
Half the trees in the streets have been
stripped off close to the pavement. Four
trains of cars have tumbled off the tracks.
1t has been impossible foryessels to enter
the harbor. An Italian bark tried to
come in at noon but was battered by ice
to wreck in sight or the docks. She
foundered with all on board.
An English bark went ashore an hour
later just outside the harbor. Four of
the crew were drowned.
A Greek steamship has been endeavor-
ing to get inside for the last two hours,
flying signals of distress and firing guns.
No assistance has been sent her.
A large wave swept over the water
front in the early evening, and flooded
the streets near by. Two cabs, with
their horses and drivers, were caught in
the current, when, the water receding,
they were carried into the harbor and
drowned. Fifty persons were injured by
falling trees, tiles and chimneys.

RocKLAND, January 16. - Orris
Holmes, the well known milkman, had a
genuine hair breadth escape from instant
death this morning. Shortly after eight
o'clock, as LIMERICK railroad train was
backing down the track, Holmes was
driving over Broadway, and it became a
question who would reach the crossing
first. Holmes thought he could, bnt
when his team was fairly over the mid
die of the track the train struck it full
force The horse was killed instantly
and the wagon was totally wrecked. Mr..
Holmes was thrown forward some dis
lance int the air. He was picked up
bleeding and badly shaken up, but alive.
The accident is ascribed entirely to the
mans carelessness.
