A great feet of coal vessels is in the

arrived yesterday and Saturday. The
coal has come to the railroads, and deal
ers. 1t was estimated yesterday that
there were $4,000 tons of coal ahoat in
the harbor.
1t is claimed that the Addie Charleson
won the race bewteen the coal vessels
but the friends of Captain Smith of the

Fire in a Synagogue.

The alarm from box A at 10 o'cloc k
last evening, was caused by fire in the
synagogue of the Congregation Shayres
Israel, in the rear of 70 Middle street.
Mr.. Herman Davis Mapped to lock out
of his window that commanded a view
Of a window in the synagogue and saw a
blaze. He gave an alarm and somebody
pulled the box. tits supposed that a
candle standing on the altar overturned
in some way and made little blaze
which was quickly extinguished with
slight damage. The only entrance to
the synagogue is through narrow alley,
up very steep flight of stairs and if a
panic should occur there the loss of life
might be large. There was no service
going on at the time Of the fire.

EVERGREEN CEMETERY.
improvements Made There During
the Year.
THE NEW OFFICE BUILDING RE-
GENTLY CONSTRUCTED.

What has been Planned for the Middle
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Should be
session in Which the City Should take
Great Interest.
Those who have had occasion to visit
Evergreen Cemetery during the present
season, have observed that more extern
sive improvements than usual have been
going on. The new Office building,
which is now nearly completed, has been
erected on the right hand side of the
farther, or what is now the main en-
trance, to take the place of the older
offices on the left. In both architecture
and position this new building is well
calculated to please those whose sad in
terests lead them to frequent Evergreen,
and to afford more satisfactory accommo-
dations to such visitors.
Evergreen Cemetery was begun in 1854,
at the time when the extension of the
city towards the West end made it de-
sirable to discontinue burials in the old
Western Cemetery. Since that time six
teen thousand people have been burned
there, and of the 800 acres now comprised
within the limits, about 175 are already

THE sToDDARD LECTURES.
Sale of Course Seats to Begin This Morn
ing.

This morning, at 7 o'clock. numbers
will be given out at Stockbridge's music
store for the Stoddard lectures, and the
sale of course seats will begin at 9 o'clock
at the same place. No more than twelve
seats will be sold to any one person, and
IS seats will be reserved for the press
There is no doubt that those who fail to
make application for seats at once will
be badly left. Stoddard has always been
great drawing card in this city, and
this is the first time that he will give his
full course in Portland. The subjects of
these illustrated lectures are all new to
the lecture field, and they open up line
of travel that has always had the greatest
fascination for the student and the tray
eller. 1t is not unlikely that two-thirds
of the entire seating capacity of the
house will be sold by this evening.
Therefore, don't complain that you
didn't know of the sale OF you wouldn't
have got left.

gives sum each year, the amount this
year being $4,000.
The resources available yearly for the
trustees are barely sufficient for the reg
ular current demands, and leave very
little for carrying out the plans of inn
provement. But a distinct advance has
been made in the last year in this re-
spect. During the last five years there
has been a marked change in the method
OF burials. Services at the grave are
much more frequent, and in inclement
weather, especially in winter, there has
been a great need for chapel in which
to hold the services. For a long time it
has been the custom to have such SER
vices in the receiving tomb, but the
trustees have prohibited this for sani-
tary reasons. 1t is quite possible that
bodies of persons who have died of con-
tagious diseases may at times be placed
in the tomb in spite of the regulations,
place is unsuitable for genera services
In the plan of improvement lot has
been left opposite the tomb for chapel.
A suitable chapel could be erected for
about $4,000, and the trustees are not
without hope that wealthy individuals
may by donations assure such sum.
Meanwhile, at the suggestion of Freder-
lex Fox, ESQ.,, who is senior member of
the Board of Trustees, and is also much
interested as a citizen in the i'm
provements, the new Office building has
been erected, at cost of about $4,000
The accompanying cut will give a good
idea of the outside appearance Of this
building. 1t will have offices for the
trustees, for Mr.. Floyd, the very efficient
superintendent, and convenient and COM
Portable waiting rooms for visitors. A
portion of the building willsserve for the
storage of vases and other movable dec
orations of tombs. There will also be
fairly adequate accommodations for SER
vices on such days as the weather will
not permit them to be held at the grave.
Mr.. Frederick A. Tompson is the archi-
tect who designed the work, and Messrs.
]. NJ. Lane and Charles w. Snow have
constructed it.
The old office buildings, which are on
the other side of the driveway, will
probably be moved this winter down to
the other entrance, where. they will be

taken by occupied lots and by the ponds
mated that fully two million dollars of
public and private money have been in
vested in this beautiful spot, which
Henry w. Longfellow is said to have
pronounced. during one Of his last visits
to Portland, more beautiful burial
place, so far as natural features are con-
cerned. than the more celebrated Mount
Auburn Cemetery. Private solicitude
has done much to beautifyit. Within the
last two years the Clapp tomb has been
completed, at a cost Of fully 100000, and
but short time before that the Milliken
tomb was built, probably at a cost Of
$25, 900.
While the private INTEREST," so general,
it is necessary for it to be supplemented
by a constant attention on the part OF
the city. Evergreen Cemetery belongs
to the city Even the lots do not pass
out Of the city's possession. The light
of burial is merely decided, and most of
the lots, as well as the'15 miles of ave-
nues and 81 miles Of paths, are directly
under the citys charge. Fifteen thous-
and dollars are required yearly to pay
for the laborers who keep in order this
domain of the departed, and the total
cost of year is from $22, 1000 to $4,000.
This sum is provided from several
sources. About third of the sums
paid in for lots, etc., goes to a perma-
nent fund, which now amounts to about
$4,000 The income Of this fund, to-
gether with about two thirds of the
money paid in by lots, ETC., is available
for current expenses. The city also

usedas a waiting room forvisitors. This
nearer entrance, while at present newer
and less improved, will probably become
in time the most beautiful and most
frequented. Within the next few years
much attention will be given to this en-
trance. The burial lots will not be al
lowed to come nearer than six hunC red
feet to the street, and the intervening
space will be beautified by trees, walks
aud flowers. The work of setting out
the trees will begin this winter. It has
been found that the larger trees can be
transplanted more successfully in win
ter, after the ground has frozen, than in
spring or autumn.
The improvement of the farther en-
trance will also receive attention. More
trees are to be set out very SOON. There
is also included in the plan of improve
ment the construction Of a greenhouse
near the new office building. The trns-
tees pay about $4,000 yearly for flowers
and plants, which might as we'll be
raised on the ground. In addition the
cemetery greenhouse could furnish
plants and flowers for the entire park
system of the city.
4 Within the present year about $1,000
have been expended in draining broad
portion lying on the lower ground south
west Of the Payson Tucker lot, which is
not far from the new Milliken tomb.
This new addition will soon be one
of the most beautiful and desirable por-
lions of the cemetery.
The work and Improvements on Ever

each of whom serves three years.

Ea4 Swindlers at Work.

About two months ago, it is reported,
two men who registered at the Preble
House as D. A. Reidy and w j. Kelley
of Boston, victimized commercial houses
here by agreeing to furnish pads of writ
ing paper encased in a Dlotter cover.

a lot of orders, part cash in advance,
they left and forgot to pay their hotel
