The Now Magazine Rifle.

One of the new rifles has been received
by Gen. Conner. Col. Harrington, the
State inspector of rifle practice. after
giving it thorough examination, says
it is vicious looking weapon. and in
the hands of skilled marksmen will be a
most deadly rife. The barrel is 80 in
ches long and the grooves turn three
times in the length. The powder is a
nitro smokeless, and the bullet covered
with copper or some hard substance, so
as to be torn by the great velocity and
sharp twist just before leaving the bar
rel. One special advantage is that the
fight OF the bullet does not go higher
than a mans head at 500 yards, which
makes danger space complete within
that distance. Nearly double of the am
munition can be carried, owing to its
lighter weight. The rife is more clumsy
looking than the Springfield, and weighs
trife more with the bayonet. The
bayonet is a strange looking, stout
knife about a foot long and heavy
enough to use for various purposes. For
drilling purposes the gun will not be SO
easily handled. The calibre is 30, and
it's penetration is through AZ inch pine
board at a mile distant.

STREET CAR LINE EXTENSION.
East Deering People Are Delighted at the
Prospect of Extension from Lunt's Cor
ner-That Belt Line of the Future.

The people of East Deering are much
pleased at the decision;of the:Portland Rail-
road company to extend its ocean street
line to the point of juncture OF Verandah
and Main streets. The directors OF the COM
pany agreed to make the extension IL the
people of East Deering would give lot for
terminal station. Ex-Mayor Merrill says
that this gift is assured and that the extern
sion will soon be made.
The extension will be about three-quarters
of a mile in length, running from Ocean
street at Lunt's Corner nearly to the Deer
ing end OF Tukey's bridge. This Will give
East Deerlng people a connection with
Portland by way of Ocean street and Wood
fords.
From the end of the line at East Deerlng
to Congress street by way of Tukey's bridge
and Washington street, is about mile; and
the people of East Deering are hoping and
expecting that at no distant date this link
also will be built. 1t would not only give
that part of Deering quick communication
with Portland, but would also give belt
line entirely around Back Bay, and afford
one of the prettiest summer rides in the
country.
Before such an extension can be made,
however, Tukey's bridge will have to be re-
built. The federal government has already
directed the city to do this; and it will
probably be done in year OF two.

THE CARRIE A. LANE.
She is Late in Arriving at Cienfuegos; and
Some Anxiety Is Felt.

Some anxiety is being felt for the safety
of the three -masted schooner Carrie A.
Lane. This vessel, which is of 2760 tons and
was built in Bath by the Sewalls in 1887,
left this port April 9Th, last, bound for
Cienfuegos, ON the south side of Cuba. She
was commanded by Captain Quick, and had
a crew of eight men. One of the mates was
from Harpswellr The schooner went light.
having not even ballast.
The same day the Mary B. Bayard, an
other three-masted schooner, sailed from
here for the same port. and arrived there in
seventeen days.
The great April storm came on after the
two schooners had sailed; and it is feared
that the Carrie A. Lane may have met with
some mishap. But an inquiry made yester-
day of Messrs. j. S. Winslow & Co., who act
as agents for the vessel here, ELECTED the
response that such delay was by no means
unprecedented. If the arrival is reported
by mail, it is not uncommon to be as long
without news from vessel bound to that
port.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
INSPECTION of Portland Il Rochester-Hear-
at Lebanon.

On Thursday the railroad commission
ers made an inspection of the line of the
Portland & Rochester railroad. In the
course of their trip over the line they
gave hearing on the application of the
railroad to be allowed to increase the
height of the two overhead bridges in
the town of Lebanon. The hearing was
held at East Lebanon station. The
railroad was represented by John B.
Donovan, ESQ.,, and the board of select
men represented the town. No objection
was made on the part of the town. The
hearing was not concluded. The railroad
desires to raise the bridges to such a
height that brakemen will not be.in dan
ger of being injured while standing on
the top of freight trains. President
Wescott, Treasurer Conant and Superin-
tendent Peters were present at the hear
ing.

CAPTAIN JOSEPH BROOKS.
Prominent in Portland Steamboat Lines
and Originated Storm Signal.

Capt. Joseph Brooks, wealthy and
prominent resident of Kennebunkport,
whose death was announced yesterday
morning, at the age So, was well known in
Boston and Portland as prominent owner
and former general manager Of the Portland
Steam Packet company. He also had
charge of the traffic department OF the
Grand Trunk railroad in New England for
many years.
1t is stated that Captain Brooks was the
originator of the system Of storm signals
which have for many years borne such
prominent part in the management OF COM
mercial interests on the Atlantic seaboard.
Captain Brooks learned by observation and
investigation that the heavy northeast
storms of our coast approached from the
southeast, and BY having his agent In New
York wire him daily the atmospheric con-
ditions, he was able to protect the Interests
of his company and avoid wrecks and dis
asters to his boats. In 1863 he was called be-
fore meeting of presidents of the marine
insurance companies of Boston and his
system of signals was there explained and
developed. Out of this grew the system
which today is recognized by the govern
ment as of such great Importance to mari
time interests.
Captain Brooks was a man of large ano
varied information. He retained his facul
ties of mind in a remarkable degree, and
was always brilliant and interesting in his
statement of facts and in social intercourse
He had fine physique, and his portly form
and pleasant smile were familiar to thou
sands of the summer visitors. who will
misc biS oanial nresenca the coming season
Captain Brooks leaves widow and one
daughter, wife of Rev. Edward Chase o.
