THE CITY BONDS" J" .'.'
N. W. Harris s. Co. Complain That They
We're Treated Unfairly.

To the Editor of the Press, Portland,
Me.
Dear Sir-We notice in your issue of
yesterday that our bid for $4,000 city of
Portland, per cent twenty years, gold
bonds, although considerably eehf4her
than any other bid, was rejected lowing
| to rigid requirements. 2 This statement
appears to us incorrect and misleading.
We wrote to the city treasurer, at his So
licitation, as follows: s'For $4,000 city
of Portland, 20 year, a per cent gold
bonds as described in your circular of
February goth, we bid you $102.53 and
accrued interest, the usual certified
papers to be furnished us showing the
legality of the issue to the satisfaction OF
our attorney"
From the above it will be seen that
there were no rigid requirements
with which we did not comply, as we
bid for the bonds ais described by the
city treasurer; neither did we make any
such requirements, only STIMULATING that
we should receive papers showing the
legality of the. issue; requirement.
which, of course, the city of Portland
could easily meet. and which is customa-
nv in all transactions of this nature.
We requested the city treasurer to adj
wise us as to the outcome of the sale, but
received no word from him whatever I'M
til late Tuesday afternoon, or more than
twenty-four hours after the bids were
opened, when we received a telegram
stating simply that our bid was not ac-
cepted. We have asked him twice to
furnish us with the details of the award,
but up to the present the only Informal
ton which we have received is through
your columns.
We put in our bid in good faith, and
strictly in accordance with the circular
which we received from the city treas
urer, and are greatly surprised at the
outcome of the transaction, in view of
the reputation and financial standing of
the city of Portland, and also in view of
the fact that the award as made, en-
tailed direct loss to the city of $3.50.
You are at liberty to give this letter
such publicity as you wish, and we shall
be glad to receive your comments on the
transaction.
Yours very truly,
N. W. HARRIS & Go.

"A UNIQUE SUIT.
The Maine Central Sues a Man 70
- .a2-ri rss ts,. ara
Trespass. i w

Deputy Sheriff Samuel Plummer went
to Windham yesterday to serve papers,
preliminary to a suit to be brought by
the Maine Central Railroad Company
against Windham man for trespass. 1t
is unique suit and is probably brought
more for an example and warning than
anything else.
During the recent blizzard this man
had occasion to Idrive from Madison
Falls to Windham village OF there bouts.
The highway was blocked and hard to
travel, so he hit upon happy idea.
When he reached the railway crossing
near Madison Falls he saw that the
Maine Central snow ploughs had made a
fine track, so he turned his horse in that
direction. and drove up the path of the
railroad to his destination. The sum
named in the suit is $500.

FOUL PLAY FEARED

In the Case of Roland Norton of Kittery.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., March 3.-Inter-
est in the strange disappearance of Ro-
land Norton, young lad of North Kit
terry. who has been missing since early
last fall, is again revived by the fact that
party of citizens are to make demand
on the authorities of York county for an
investigation Of the case. On the day
that young Norton was last seen alive,
his father was seen to fell him to the
ground with ansox goad. Letters that
were received and said to have been writ
ten by friends are believed to be fakes
and sent by interested parties to throw
the authorities off the track and prevent
an investigation.

Not even the numerous and remnsccnilal OLD

the present For many weeks We have had IN
almost unbroken procession Of thoroughly en-
ioyable days. There have been variations. OF
course: with some days almost ne warm rs md
summer and others approximatng 10 the chill
Of mldwntcr. But the air has been always
fresh and bracing. and every man with clear
conscience and Il sound liver has felt that this
is Il good world 10 live In. and this Is good
part OF the world. our physicians have had
unusual leisure. and the underwriters have taken
rest most grateful To their neighbors. The
death rate has been going down. week by

II not than ever before. and compares 20 our
advantage with that Of the most sanitary OF
the large cities Of the world.
Now this is delightful state Of affairs; but 1t
must not bc allowed 10 WOO us into any fool :
paradise Of fancicd security. In such n capital
as this. SO vast so cosmopolitan, so closely con
nccted by ties Of trade and trilv" with all parts
Of the world. unccasing vigilance Is the only
price at which immunity from plaques can be
purchased The fact that for two years we
have held Asla,c cholera at bay proves our
ability to do so, but proves also the need Of
vigorous efforts TO that end. II would be n sad
mistake 10 suppose that now that this years
cholera season" Is ended. we may safely re-
lax the strictncss Of quarantine and rest on our
oars until next summer For. in the first place,
IL Is by 10 means clear that danger Of infection
passes away when cold weather sets in. The
contrary has in fact been indicated in Europe.
where the epidemic waned during the heat OF
summer and waxcd terribly when the cool.
damn weather Of the fall came on. An open
winter. with much fog and rain and frequent
thaws, tx probably rs favorable Il season rs
there could be for the propagation Of cholern.
In the second place. and this Is the important
point the danger of invasion by the plague
will probably be greater next year than II was
this. and therefore precautions against 1t should
continue unrcmitting. The danger Will he
greater because the infected area abroad Is In
crcasng and the points from which infection
may come are therefore growing more nlimer'

Hamburg. aud perhaps few other Continental
ports. This year however, the disease made It's
appearancc in various places in England, ~

We have no assurance that II will not rcappear

from a hundred scattered ports at once. If II
does. we believe we shall be able TO cope with
IT, We do not need TO apprchcnd another cpl
dcmic OF cholera in this city II we do our duty.
But we shall maintain immunity from II most
readily and most surely by Keeping sanitary
vigilance at full pitch all the year round.
