Portland Harbor.
he Boston journal says

The Boston Journal says:
portland people are feeling just lit
tie jubilant over the fact that while the
harbors Of Boston and New York have
been moro or less filled with ice their
port has been practically free from it.
They admit that the shallow and infre-
quented portions Of the bay, have been
and are frozen in, but the ship channel
and anchorage grounds have remained
clear. The ferry boats have run as usual
and the Atlantic steamships and other
vessels have arrived and departed with
out hindrance. Boston can boast of al
most as much as that. The channel has
been free during the whole of the recent
cold wave, and steamers and vessels TAX
ing tow have come and gone without de-
lay. The channel, however, narrows SO
in places that at times it has been diff
1t for vessels to beat up without as
sistance,''

The cost of the village improvements
is large, and the farmers find them
selves taxed at the rate. of about twenty
dollars on thousand to help pay fol
them. Hence has arisen on the part OF
the farmers desire for separation. The
prospects that city charter may be OBJ
tanned through the efforts of the villagers
has undoubtedly fastened this move
ment.
The dividing line has been determined
on quite definitely by those who want
separation, although the legislature alone
has power to finally establish such line.
The accompanying map shows the gen.
eral effect of this line, which has been
selected ny a committee. The main
points of this line are as follows: Be-
ginning at a point on the shore be-
tween Cliff Cottage and the Danforth
property, and running thence straight
across the two shore roads to the middle
road by the Woodbury. place, thence
across the property in the vicinity OF
Charles WAREHOUSES; place, thence
along the brook to Mark Dyer's, thence
to the village road, thence avoiding the
road division) northeast to school dis
trict number four, thence by Barren Hill
road to the Scarboro line near the rail-
road crossing or the old bog road.
The committee that fixed this line con-
sisted of Messrs. C. E. Staples, Albert
Hannaford and Pomeroy W. Jordan,
This report was adopted at the meeting
held at the town house last Thursday.
So far the village people have shown
very little interest in the matter. The
town house, which is fine brick struc-
ture, is left on the village side of the
line, while the elegant summer residences
along the shore road are nearly, if not
quite all, included in the part divided off
as the farming section.
( Among the men who are most promi-
nent in the movement are Elisha N. Jor-
dan, J. Parker, Joseph Dresser, Harry
S. Jordan, Louis Hannaford, Scott d.
Jordan, Clement E. Staples, W. G. Rob
inson, Albert Hannaford, Pomeroy W.
Jordan, Rev. George R. Barstow and
Charles E. Jordan. John Parrot favors
the city charter and iCharles F. Jordan is
strongly opposed to the division.
The meetings last week were well at
tended, and considerable interest was
shown. There will be another Tuesday
evening at the town house. The divis-
ionists are thoroughly in earnest, and
mean to have division if possible.

The old town of Cape Elizabeth, after q
long and prosperous corporate history
which dates back century and quarter
has at last come to the place where the
ways part Along the shore fronting
Portland have been growing UP villages
that have in time come to contain large
proportion of the population of the
town. These villages, smart and enter
prising, need many Improvements which
the country parts do not need. The in
PRODUCTION of Sebago water was one of
these improvements which caused much
bitterness between the villages and the
country, and the prolonged contest was
fought out in many town meetings which
are yet memorable in Cape Elizabeth
history The villages finally won, and
this victory was significant of the fact
that the balance of power had finally
shifted from the country districts to the
villages

A QUADRUPLB MURDER.
Followed By the Suicide Of the
Murderer.
A TALE OF BLOOD AND HORROR
Farmer John Foster of Uniontown,
Ind, Murders His Wife and
Three Children and Blows Out
His Brains-He Was Weak
Minded and Queer.

SEYMOUR, IND, November 26.-News
has just been received here from
Carothersville, village ten miles south
of here that Uniontown, an adjoining
village last night furnished a quadruple
murder. followed by suicide.
1t is stated that John Foster, we'll
to-do, but erratic farmer Of Uniontown,
in fit of temporary insanity killed his
wife and their three children with a
revolver and then blew out. his own
brains.
Foster has always been regarded by
his acknowledges as little weak
minded and queer. He has frequently
had trouble with mis- wife, and several
years ago they separated. Recently a
reconciliation was effected, and Foster
returned to his family.
There was no witness to the terrible
affair, but the position OF the bodies
point to the fact that the wife was the
first to meet her fate. She was
shot through the back OF the
head. The children were found
dead in the next room, and from
their position had evidently been
aroused from peaceful slumbers by the
shot that robbed them Of their mother.
The oldest child. boy, was found with
hands clasped as II in the attitude OF
prayer for his life and the lives OF his
little brother and sister. He was shot
through the heart, as were the other
two children. The father, after TAX
ing the lives Of the little ones, returned
to the dead body Of his wife, and plac-
ing the pistol to his forehead, complet-
ed his fendish work.
The shots startled the usually peace
full community, and several men hur-
ried to the scene OF the tragedy. The
sight that met their gaze was appalling,
and physicians were sent for at once.
The last sign of life had passed from
the bodies OF the entire family before
physician arrived on the scene. The
floor of the house was one pool OF blood.
The entire community for miles around
visited the scene of the tragedy last
night and gazed upon the fiendish work
of Foster.

from Pittsburg with seventy-fiVe pud-
dlers and rollers, to take the places Of
the local strikers, who are asking for
the Amalgamated Associations scale OF
four dollars and seventy-fve cents per

Public feeling is greatly against the

meeting was held tonight at the Coun-
Gil chamber, in which both the home
men and the visitors participated. No
agreement was reached, but the visit
ors were given to understand that none

POWDERLY'S RESIGNATION

VIII Be Accepted Almo,t Unanimously ~
the session of the X. of l. To-Day.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, November &c.
1t was tacitly understood to-day by the
majority Of the delegates to the General
Assembly, Knights Of Labor, that at
the opening of the session tomorrow
morning Mr.. Powderly's resignation
would be almost unanimously accepted.
Members of the press committee de-
MED that any caucus was held to-day,
but the action of nineteen OF the dele
gates seemed at variance with that
statement. A telegram was sent TO
James r. RobereigD, at DesMoines,
asking him IL he would accept the office
which Mr.. Powdery seeks to vacate.
II was sent late this afternoon and was
signed by nineteen delegates, some OF
whomshaye heretofore been known as
being very friendly to the interests Of
Powderly.
One Of the delegates who signed the
telegram, said tonight: III all the
names OF all who signed the message
were known, IL would create considera-
Bile surprise in the Powderly camp.
Mr.. Powderly has said that the order
could not get along without him, but
the action Of the delegates to-day
seems that he must have been
mistaken when he made that assertion.
Mr.. Sovereign, who is Labor Commits.
sioner OF Iowa, is the man most lifted
for the position. He has no fights on
hand and is, we believe, the only one
who could amalgamate the different In
terests OF the order and make IL what
It only was, the strongest labor orRani-
zation In the world. We are now await
ing his reply, aud expect an Affirmative
one every moment"
At 1880 tonight reply to the tele-
gram sent to Mr.. Sovereign, was re-
ceived by the delegates. In substance,
he said: "If Mr.. Powderly has re-
signed | will accept the Office OF Grand
Master Workman il rendered me, and
will do all in my power to work for the
good of the order.
This practically puts an end 20 the
controversy now going on. The anti
Powderlyites still hold their vote OF "a.
which is a majority, and upon rsas-
ssmhling tomorrow, will get right
down TO business.
Fl. b. Martin, OF Minnesota, who has
known James r. Sovereign for years,
said of him tonight: HE IS an atle man
in every sense Of the word, and has the
interests OF the order at heart. He will
be able to conduct its affairs In such
manner that entire satisfaction is almost
guaranteed"
Oaueuses are being held tonight In
several rooms Of the Windsor Hotel, by
both Powderly's friends and those OF
Westerner, for the purpose OF getting
the forces properly instructed and mar
shalIed for the battle Of ballots In the
morning. The corridors are full OF the
friends Of Sovereign, and all are loud In
their claims for his victory and his Mt
ting qualities for the Office.
