THE BAY STATES BOILERS.
How the Forty Ton Monsters Are Placed
In the Steamer.

The huge shears, so feet high, at the Port
land company's wharf were taken down, a
| month ago and strengthened by he addition
OF large sections of southern pine, in antici-
patton OF the IRENE ndous burden they were
soon to bear in sustaining the weight of the
forty ton boilers of.the Bay State.
This simple operation of strengthening
the shears cost in the neighbo1 hood of $1,000.
Just the work of taking them down and
putting them up cost some 500. the great
braces. which are Oregon sticks, cost at
least $3.50, and besides this was all the new
iron. work and the labor of many men.
One of the huge boilers was swung into
place Tuesday without accident, and the
other will be handled today
10 lift forty tons from a wharf and swing
it into the hold of a vessel is a big under
taking. This boiler is twelve feet in
diameter and nearly twenty feet long.
There are two huge blocks in the top of the
shears. There are two more on top of the
boilers connected with two huge wire
cables that go around the boiler and will
support its weight. The four blocks are
connected by twelve great seyen-inch
cables. 1t is all three men want to do TO
carry one of these blocks. In each block
are three wheels of lignum vitae, each of
which cost $3.50, the total cost of the
wheels Of each block being $3.50. There are
six of these blocks. Besides tho four which
hold the weight of the boiler, there are tive
others to hold it while it swings slowly over
the steamer. One of these is attached to
the wharf and the other to the end of the
boiler fastened to it by wire cables.
Seven or eight years ago a 35-ton boiler
was placed in a steamer by these same
shears. 1t was fasten ed at the cid to the
block by two-inch chain. just as soon as
the winch had lifted thei boiler into the air
the iron chain broke, and away went the
boiler swinging out over and beyond the
steamer. The shears held though terribly
shaken. and when the boiler swung back it
struck one side glancirg blow and the
mark is still there.
1t swung back and forth, like an enormous
pendulem. and it was nearly an hour be-
fore it had stopped sufficiently for. the men
to be able to hold it with ropes. Had it
fallen on the steamer it would probably
have gone right through to the bottom.
Certainly should this forty ton boiler fall
into the steamer, il is believed that it would
be likely to go through the bottom.

THAT MYSTERIOUS CASE.
Miss Farley Has Come To Full Possession
of Her Senses.

Miss Isora Farley whose case was reported
in yesterdays PRESS remains at the Maine
General hospital recuperating although she
has apparently recovered the possession of
her faculties. Yesterday she complained of
a bad headache. which is not to be won
dered at eonidering hel severe attack of
hysteria the day before.
Miss Farley's case, however remains as
much OF mystery as ever. She does not
seem inclined to be frank in her statements
about herself, according to the hospital
surgeons. A representative of the PRESS
visited the hospital last evening and there
learned that Miss Farley tells several stories
about herself. One is that she has lost her
parents, has no particular friends in New
York, whence she says she came, and that
she has been in st. Luke's hospital in that
city. This latter statement the physicians
say is borne out by her appearance. But her
statement that she came by boat from New
York. arriving here Tuesday morning, csn-
not betrue, because the New York boat
does not arrive here Tuesday The sailing
days from Portland are Tuesday, Thursday
and Saturday, and the arrivals Monday,
Wednesday and Friday.
2 The police ..have sought for Miss Cora
Thayer without success. None of the
Thayer families here seem to know of her.
Miss Thayer is the friendtha Miss Farley
said she knew here. Miss Farley had no
baggage, and mo means. She will be placed
in the charge of Mr.. Baker, the secretary
of the Overseers, in few days unless she
can give such an account of herself as will
render such action Unnecessary.

A Venerable Tree.

Street Commissioners Staples, with q
large team. ofsmen, has removed the great
elm tree that stood on Howard street, under
whose grateful shade the last few summers,
Gen. Neal Dow, and others speakers have
addressed large outdoor audiences. But
the tree had become an impeachment, and
had to go. 1t is said that the tree was
planted by the grandfather of the present
Mrs.Jane Thurston-the lady SO well known
to Portlanders-way back in the last CEN
fury. The tree was hauled down Cumber-
land to Washington to Oxford, to BOYD
streets, and thence OH to the DUMP, where
it will be cut up into fire wood and make a
great store of fuel

The Case of Rene.

Mr. Rene tho man who is said to have
escaped from the Maine General hospital
didn't escape at all. He is not insane the
doctors say. He was brought to the hospital
to be treated for his wounds. The blow
from the hammer affected the brain to the
extent that he could not remember words
except yes and no. But he understood
perfectly what was said to him. For in
stance the physicians TO ascertain his home
named the various States and received no
response OF yes or no until New Hampshire
was mentioned when he said yes. Then the
citles were called over and he said yes when
NJ hester was named. His case was some
thlng like dumb man who understands
Wnal Is SAD but cannot answer. He had a
peTIect right to leave the hospital as soon

EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF.
Upon Our Fresh Fish Business and Shin
Stores etc.-Large Decrease of Schoon-
ers for the Banks.

The new tariff bill has made big differ
ence to our fresh fish fishermen along this
coast. and just now it is being felt. At this
time the mackerel seiners and the sword
fishermen fit out for the fall and winter
fishingsfor cod and paddock on the banks.
But they are not doing it this year so much
as usual and the ship chambers and grocers
complain of small business. The fishermen
havn't got the money to fit out for the
banks this year so much as usual. The fall
ing off is at least SO per cent. The new tariff
takes off the SO cents duty on 100 pounds of
fresh fish and of course that is just so much
less profit to our fishermen. This fact and
the scarcity of mackerel aecounts>for the
large falling off in the number of bank fish
ermen and consequence diminit1on of the
ship chambers business.

Largest Fleetlof Coal sohooners.

During the past twoWeexs there has bee,
larger fleet of coal schooners in the harbor
than ever before. This is because at the
first of the season the strikes shut off the
supply of coal and because the first of this
fleet to leave Philadelphia were delayed by
bad weather, and therefore others caught
up with them. At,,least 200 men are now at
work unloading coal. Yesterday the new
