man who is respected by every man who

interest in the future of Portland shows
him to be friend to education. He
will receive the united support OF his
party and will draw every independent
man to his support. He will be elected"
Mr.. Joseph E. Chute: II can only say
that I am very much pleased with the

selection of Mr.. Baxter
Mr.. x. John Little: "He ought to be
elected mayor of Portland, and be-
lieve he will be. He is a man whom

Important Real Estate Deal.

An important real estate deal was
made by Mr.. Hebron Mayhem and Mr..
w. K. Dana of Westbrook, last week. 1t
was the purchase of valuable water
power, and 16 acres of adjoining land at
the falls in Mousam river, near West
Kennebunk, of R. w. Lord and the Per-
kins heirs of Kennebunk. The water
power is said to be extensive and the
water excellent for dyeing purposes and
for paper making. The purchase has
been made with the intention of making
some Improvements with the view of
leasing or selling.
The parties state they will if a lease
can be secured with the right parties,
construct mill and make any other i'm
provements that may be required.
The purchasers are both men Of capt.
tai and the citizens of West Kennebunk
have cause to congratulate themselves
on this idle water power falling into
such good hands.

Steamer Notes.

The Allan liner Mongolian arrived at
Halifax at $50 o'clock yesterday fore
noon and will probably arrive here some
time this afternoon. Although the Off
cials here hsve not heard any particulars,
they think she must have had very
rough passage. She was Is days from
Liverpool to Halifax, while the usual
time is eight or nine days.
The Labrador will probably sail this
forenoon some time. She has been de-
tanned here by lack of freight, the storm
having tied up the Grand Trunk freight
train at Gorham, N. FL. Last night they
began to move again.
The Warwick Of the Donaldson line is
due here.

THE SNOW.
1t Was Piled Eigh All Over 1.-THE Country
The New Storm Prophesied.

The people of this region slowly dug
themselves out of the drifts yesterday,
and towards night it began to be posi-
BILE to get about on some of the roads in
the country about Portland. But it will
be several days before the country roads
are broken entirely out. During the af-
ternoon, Forest avenue, which leads to
Deering, became passable to teams, al
though there were some magnificent
drifts, especially in the Winslow neigh
borhood. this side of the base ball
grounds. Communication was opened
with Westbrook by the electrics about 8
p. M, men having been shovelling since
the close of the storm CD the evening
previous. Some of the drifts were tre-
mendous, and in several places, after the
road had been shovelled out it was found
that rail laid from bank to bank was
high enough in the air to let the men
walk under without touching their heads.
The stage drivers did not generally ap-
pear, although some of them got along
after much trouble.
Yesterday afternoon the weather bur
reau officials gave some interesting infor-
nation about the remarkable snowfall
that we have had since the 18th of this
month, or IN the last ten days. In that
time SO inches, or three feet of snow,
have fallen. The storm of the 18th and
18th gave us over Is inches, and the last
storm deposited Is IL inches.
After giving this information, Observ-
er Jones pulled out telegram that he
had just received from Uncle Jerry Rusk
OF some other high weather maker in
Washington, bearing the discouraging in
formation that another big storm had
Just been manufactured somewhere in
the West, and that the intention at that
hour was to send it to Portland. This
was the despatch which was received
about o'clock yesterday afternoon:
Southeast signals are to be hoisted at Port
land, Atlantic City, Sandy Hook, New York,
New Haven, New London, Newport Section,
Narragansett Section, Woods Holl Section,
trail over the Ohio Valley, moving east and
will probably cause southerly gales on the
south New England and Middle Atlantic coasts
tonight.
Even as this despatch was read the
barometer had begun to waver, and the
prophecy seemed likely to become true,
and sure enough, about9 p. M, the flakes
began to fall.

Joseph McDonoughsCuts Simeon Ruben
off

Joseph McDonoughsCuts Simeon Ruben
off.
Wednesday night man went into the
police station with bad cut in his right
arm which he said was caused by a
knife in the hands of Joseph McDon-
ough. The wounded man gave his name
as Simeon Rubenoff, storekeeper at
$50 Fore street. At 2.30 a. m. Melon
ough was arrested. He is young man,
who belongs to gang that haunts Fore
street.
Yesterday morning McDonough was
arraigned on charge of assault and
battery. Rubenoff said that Wednesday
afternoon while he was shovelling snow
in front of his store McDonough and
some companions came along and
pushed him into snow drift. Rubenoff
resented this familiarity and McDonough
said that if he did not like that he would
give him something better. He then
struck the Hebrew several times in the
face.
Rubenoff then ran from his store to
escape his prosecutor, and McDonough
ran after him and stabbed him in the
arm. The latter got inside while Nc
Donough smashed in four windows. Ru-
benoff sent for physician and hid in his
cellar until one came. He says that it
necessitated two doctors to take u
stitches in the wound. He testified
that he never saw McDonough but once
before.
McDonough testified that as he was
passing the store Rubenoff threw
couple of shovels' full of snow at him
and he resented it. He had not carried
knife for three years before. He had
been drinking slightly, but was not
drunk. He was sentenced to serve 60
DAYS in the county Jail.

To the Editor of the Press:
An editorial appears in this mornings
Argus, heaping abuse on Mr.. Baxter and
assuming that this will delight ''the COM
mon people," In such a case many are
quick to see the injustice done a rich
man, who, like Mr.. Baxter, is unspoiled
by success.
But the deadlier insult is offered ''the
common people," Poverty does not al
warys warp what is just and generous in
man. The poor man sometimes resents
the confident appeal made to his supposed
baseness. He is not sure to take mali
cious pleasure in sneers at those more
successful than himself. Many common
people, will uphold Mr.. Baxter.
