THE STEAMER INDIAN.
AsDecree Entered by the Court for the
LibelIants.

Horace M. Sargent ct al. of Portland,
VS.. steamer. Indian, was libel by own
ers of the three-masted schooner Andrew
]. York, and by members of the crew
for damages caused by reason of col
lision of the steamer Indian with the

Fire ON St, Johns Street.

The alarm from box SIS about noon
yesterday was caused by fire in the attic
of house No. 161 st. Johns street, owned
by Mr.. Frederic Rines, and occupied by
the families of Mr.. Rines and Mr.. John
I. Briggs. While the fire was confined
to the attic there had to be quantities of
water put into the house, as the flames
had such start before the department
could reach the distant location whore
he fire was situated. A good deal OF
furniture was got out but considerable
remained in the house. Mr.. Rines built
the house five years ago, it cost him
$4,000. He had $1,000 on the house and
$500 on the furniture with John E. Dow.
Mr.. Briggs had $500 worth of furnitute
but didn't know whether he was in
sured.

ton should be made, the city of Deering
would find the whole mouth and a large
part OF the main trunk line of the sewer
system upon which it is now building
within the limits of Portland
Nearly all the inhabitants of Oakdale
have moved there from Portland, and
this fact accounts in large measure for
the present movement. The people al
ready have excellent privileges, which
have been furnished them by the old
town; but there is a feeling that the
little strip of oakdale properly belongs
to Portland, and that it would be more
prosperous as part of the city.
The sentiment Of Oakdale, is not how
ever, unanimous for annexation; and in
other portions of Deering, the feeling is
very strong against 1t. The annexation
would take from Deering three, and
probably four of her heaviest taxpayers,
namely: Henry Deering, the Winslow
factory, w. w. Brown and j. S. Kicker.
Mr.. Ricker's house would be very neal
the dividing line, perhaps directly on it,
so that his destiny is more in doubt. The
town and city have. also expended g
great deal upon Oakdale.

A Fire Department souvenir.

A handsome souvenir of the fire de-
partment has just been issued by the At
kinson Company, printed in four colors.
The calendar itself bearing, as it does,
the numbers and location of the fire
boxes, would be a. handsome and con-
venient thing to have. Besides this,
however, it bears a handsome photo by
Lamson, of the members of the depart
ment, views of the central station appar-
tus, etc. 1t is a souvenir that will be
eagerly sought for.

Nine. Janauschek appeared to good
audience at Portland Theatre at the mat
inee. in Meg Merrilles Saturday after
noon. The piece evidently had not re-
ceived much attention at the hands of
the company, and needed many more
rehearsals. The great actress had occa-
sion at times to give instructions to her
people in no uncertain terms. But the
star was most impressive, and the dying
scene was one of the most effective that
has been or will be seen on Portland
Theatre stage.
In the evening Macbeth drew a large
audience. Mime. Janaushek was partic-
ularly strong in the sleep walking scene.
Edward Collier was an excellent Mac
beth, and Joseph Ransom was good
| Macduff.
The Soudan.
Tonight the great production of 1.-THE
Soudan" will occur at Portland Theatre,
| The company carries all it's own scenery
and three Arabian horses which are used
| by the officers in the great battle and
| Trafalgar square scene. The cast that
| will interpret ''The Soudan'' is composed
of some well known dramatic people:
! James Horne, we'll known in Portland
| for his excellent work at Peaks Island,
last summer will play the roll of Captain
Temple; Alexander Kearney, Fl. Lewis,
Charles ]. Jackson, nephew of Joe JEFF
ferson, Joseph Callahan, Miss Annie
Mayer, Miss Lockhark, Miss Harold,
Miss Albee, Miss Bell Lose, Master Sid
new and little Alice Hunt are the most
prominent players in the cast.
