Harbor Notes.

Yesterday morning sixty-five vessels
were counted in the harbor and before
night there were one hundred. They
were mostly storm bound coasters.
1t was so rough as to be almost dam
gerous in the harbor yesteday. 1t was
disastrous to one fishing schoon-
er at least. She was beating up
past Bug light with all her lower sails
when a squall struck her and her rail
went under and she lost overheard ten
or a dozen tubs of travis. No vessels
came in from outside yesterday. The
Zenas Thompson and Republican, two
lobster smacks came up from the anch-

Investigation of an Interesting Beverage.
. Officer Thrasher, who has liking for
chemical researches, has been expert
menting on some of the liquor which is
sold on thersly from" kitchen" rumshops,
and which, when drunk, makes those
who imbibe it SO troublesome for the
police. Mr.. Thrasher has not SO far
studied the subject enough to be able
to discover the microbe which produces
the desire to raise Cain; but he has
demonstrated some of the latent quail
ties of the fluid. By boiling the water
out of a+quantity of it, he has obained
a brownish residium of the consistency
of this syrup. By means of letinus
paper, which is the material used by
chemists for testing acids, he has dis
covered that this syrup will Instantly
turn,a piece of blue litmus paper red,
thus showing it's powerful acid proper
ties. Fusil oil and oil of peppermint are
in Mr.. Thrasher's opinion, important
ingredients in this drink.

pear insignificant by Comparison.
No. 8 OF America Photographed illus
trates a portion of the North American
continent which is but little known to
tie general readers. The Selkirk Noun
tains in British Columbia. furnish sub
ject for some fine illustrations, and few
people in this region ever realized that
such views could be obtained in North
America. These mountains make the
Alps appear insignificant in comparison
and the scenery is wild and grand. One
view is entitled SIN the Heart of the
Selkirks,'' which shows Mt. Sir Donald
rising up 5000 feet above the valley be-
low. Another view is of Mount Stephen,
another one of the wonderful peaks, and
third shows Lake Louise, which is sit
ated among the mountains and is called
the "Lake in tile Cloud" Emerald
Lake, similarly situated, is also shown
in another view. Other views in the
same number are of Gray's and Torrey's
peaks among the Rockies, the Snowy
Range, Colorado and the Green Noun
tains of Vermont. After looking over
this number, one will realize the little
need of crossing the water to see grand
scenery. But mountains are not the only
things shown in No. 9, as other views
are of ga Log Boom in Minnesota" "a

Mock Trial at Y, nj. C. A.

1t seems that for the past six months
family residing on K street has been dis
turbed by the nightly serenades of cats.
So great was the disturbance that the
lover Of one of the young ladies, who
had been very regular in his visits, sud
denly stopped calling upon the young
lady in question. He explained it all by
saving that the cats disturbed him,
whereupon the young lady brought SUIT
against the owner of the cat for the sum
of $4,000. The case will be tried at the
next session of the z. M. G. A. court, to
be holden at the Y. M. G. A. hall next
Wednesday evening, at 8 o'clock. The
public are cordially invited.

FIRE ON RAILROAD WHARF.
The international Steamship Company s
offices Badly Wrecked.

The alarm from box IS last evenip g,
shortly after six O'Clock, was caused by
fire being discovered in the two storied
wooden building located at the end of
Railroad wharf, and occupied by the
offices of the International Steamship
company.
Connected with the building occupied
by the offices is long one story freight
shed, and few hundred feet this side of
the shed are the freight sheds of the
Boston and Maine railroad company.
The department responded promptly
and the Chemical had two streams on
the fire. In the meantime the fire boat,
Mary W. Libby, came stea ming up on
the harbor side. The fire had gained
such Roadway that the ChemlcH's
streams were of no avail, and the
streams from one OF the steamers sta
toned at hydrant close by the Boston
and Maine sheds, and from another at
the farther end of the wharf were quick
ly put on. The fire boat also got on
lively stream from her johnson pumps.
The fire had got such headway, and the
wind blew SO fresh and strong, that
Chief Jackson pulled in a second alarm
for the part of the department. that al
ways awaits that call.
With the aid of this force the fire was
confined to the building where it
caught, and to the end of the shed con-
nected with the main building. The
fire was under completec control about
73O O'Clock.
The buildings are owned by the In
ternational Steamship company. and the
main building was completely gut
ted. Capt. J. B. Coyle, the manager of
the company, said last night, the build
ing would be rebuilt at once The prop
erty is covered by blanket policy in
the offices of the various Portland un-
derwriters. Capt Coyle and Capt. Us.
Winslow estimated the loss last evening
at $4,000. The papers of the company
will probably be found all right in the
safe.
On the way to the fire, Machigonne
narrowly escaped a serious accident.
Just as she reached the wooden bridge,
near the foot of Park street, the off
horse of the fine pair of iron grays,
slipped and went down, then recovered
himself, went down again, and again
go5 on his feet, and all was done SO
quickly that the engine did not get a
chance to run upon him, nor were the
driver or engineer thrown from their
positions.
The light of the blaze, and it's To-
cality, brought great crowd of specta-
tors to the fire, and after the second
alarm had been pulled, Railroad wharf,
thessteps leading from State street to
Commercial street and the esplanade
above on York street were black with
people.
The various Offices in the main build
ing were, until lately, heated by stvoes.
These stove have been removed and a
steam heating apparatus put in, and it
is thought the fire may have taken from
an overheated steam pipe. The papers and
books were not removed, and they were,
many of them, al mussed up in the
smoke and water.
Mr.. W. B. Daston of IS Elm street,
stepped on a piece of glass, which pene-
trated his rubber boot and cut his foot
severely enough to req ire the services
of physician.
