WILL PETITION THE SECRETARY OF
WAR.
To Rescind the Regulation in Regard to
Portland Draw---Spoils the Afternoon
After 2 O'clock Now.

The closing of the Portland bridge
draw at sunset is getting more and more
bothersome and expensive for tow boats
and vessels as the days get shorter Yes
terday, Captain Barter, of the schooner
ssa.Mueller, that was just unloaded at
the 2. & Or. r. coal wharf, telephoned,
for tug at $50 p. M, but as the sun
sets now at 4.04, it was no use to go up
after the schooner, as it couldn't be got
down to the draw in time, and the tug
would SIMPLY be locked up for the night.
Could the schooner have got out at q. 80,
she could have had a fair wind. But she
had to stay up at the wharf all night,
and may have head winds today. Every
days delay for such vessel costs from
$40 to $50.
The other day, at 2 p. NJ, vessel
wanted to be towed up through the
draw, but it wasn't done because the tug
couldn't get ba ok in time to get out.
During these short days the new regula-
tions practically spoil the afternoon aft
er 2 o'clock.
A petition is now being circulated,
which is expected to be largely and in
f1uentially signed, and which will be
sent to the Secretary of War asking
him to restore the former situation in
regard to the draw.

came up to wharf and they were on the

on the wharf and asked him if lie had such
man aboard, He didn't want to talk at
first, but finally said that there was such
man and he couldn't prevent them from
going aboard and looking for him..
He wasn't in the cabin and when Officer

asked that gentleman if a man named
Samuel Eaton was there he replied in the

He ordered him to come out, but the man
swore he wouldn't come out. Skillings

ADEAD SCHOONER.
The Nellie J. Dinsmore To Be Broken Up
Into Old Understanding About Her
1T Is Time for Her Condemnation and
Execution.

Yesterday, the three-masted schooner
NellieJ. Dinsmore was sold by her owner
Captain Jacob Dodge of South Portland.
to Mr.. j. r. Mckay, the junk dealer. who
will go to work Immediately to strip
her and break her up for old junk. This
craft was built in Lubec in 1872, and is
OF 1868 tons burden. She was poorly. built
in the first place, and though not very
old has been unfit for sea for several
years. Despite that fact she was bid in
at an auction sale about two years ago,
by Captain Dodge, who paid but few
hundred dollars for her; all the other
bidders simply wishing to buy her for
old junk.
Captain Dodge went to sea in her, and
risked his life, carrying coal, ice lum-
Der, and clay between Philadelphia, Del
aware, New York and the Maine coast.
She leaked like a sieve all the time, and
kept them pumping. 1t will be re-
mem bered that early in the fall she was
nearly wrecked off Richmond's Island,
and had to be towed in with her rigging
badly damaged. She was repaired and
soon after got aground in the river at
Bath, and badly strained her frame.
So now the old schooner, having had
one foot in the grave for some years, is
dead and about, to be buried. 1t will
require about two weeks for Mr.. McKay's
crew of seven men to strip her of sails,
spars, anchors, chains, blocks, etc. Then
the hull will be towed to some out-of.
the-way cove or mud fiat and left there,
the prey of human scavengers, who will
shortly carry her away piece by piece,
and burn her up.
OF course there is great deal of iron
in the hull, but at the present time,
with iron junk only 25 cents hundred
weight, it doesn't pay to get it out.
Four or five years ago it did pay when
iron Junk was worth rs and so cents
hundred. 1t is indeed fortunate that
this unsafe old schooner is to be broken
up before she has been the cause of loss
of human life. 1t has only been good
luck that has prevented old ocean, rath-
er than Mr.. Mckay, from being the death
of her.
Captain Dodge. himself used to say
that. he never dared to go to sleep with
out one leg hanging from the berth,
SO that the rising water would reach his
foot and awaken him while there was
vet time to pipe all hands to the pumps

STRUCK WITH A BOTTLE.
Alexander Ramsay Narrowly Escapes
Bleeding to Death.

A Riot on Board a Fishing Schooner-Poor
Rum Might Have Made a Murderer
Thomas Hyde Who Struck the Blow Ar
rested.
Last evening, about eight O'Clock. the
crew of the fishing schooner George W.
Pierce of Portland, which was lying at
Custom House wharf, had become very
drunk. and Alexander Ramsay was spelling
fora fight. He was savagely drunk and
apparently started to clean out the crowd,
but especially abused Thomas Hyde. Ram
say is young man about rs years old, of
large size and splendid physique. He was
shipped at Prince Edwards Island. Hyde is
older and smaller. andshails. from Boston.
Hyde says that Ramsay began to abuse
him. that he called on the others for help
and asked them to shout for the police, that
he wasn't going to let himself ee hammered
to death, just because the other man was
bigger, and he had to strike he blow in self
defense. The Low was effectual for its
purpose.
A large junk bottle was the weapon used.
1t was seized from one o. the berths and it
struck across Ramsay's temple with such
force as to break the bottle SO that the edge
made three fearful gashes. The largest.
just at the left of the left eye. seyering the
interior branch of the temporal artery from
which the blood issued in spurts. One of
the other cut was over the other eye, and
the third on the cheek bone. Some of the
crew got on. to the wharf and notified
Officers Sparrow. Webster, Pillsbury and
Fell of the row, and they went aboard the
schooner and found the injured man IN
bunk, into which he had orept. His clothes
were saturated with blood. The officers
had called the patrol wagon. and it WAS at
the wharf almost soon as the Injured
man was brought ashore. and he was taken
to the station where DR.. Twitchell took up
the artery and dressed the wound. He said
the man would doubtless come out all right.
But the room looked like butchers shop
while the injuries were being attended to.
Ramsay's great vitality and powerful
physique, proba bly, are what say ed him.
Hyde said to the sailors ON board, as soon
as the blow was struck, that he should give
himself up and didn't deny that he struck
the blow, as has been stated.
