THE JOHN GILL CLEARS.
She Failed to Get Cargo Here-A Loss of
at Least $4,000 to Portland People.

The bark John Gill. that came here from
Liverpool last week.. light and unchar-
tered, having been unable to get cargo in
this port.s cleared yesterday for Boston,
where she will load lumber for South Amer
lea. 1t is unfortunate that she could not
have found a cargo Lere. Had she done so
she would have left between $4,000 and $4,000
here among our stevedores. ship chambers,
ship smiths and carpenters, sail makers and
ballast handlers, TO say nothing of the car
go itself. A large vessel coming assshe does
from foreign port and loading lumber here
for the river PlatteIwill leave on an aver
age of $4,000. One such vessel about four
years ago left over $4,000 outside OF
the cargo One vessel that came here from
Hiogo. Japan, expended $4,000 just for pay
ing of the crew.
Had the bark John Gill remained here, she
would have been 'boot-topped.r here; that
is. her sheathing above the metal would
have been replaced. Therefore it was not a
very satisfactory sight when her square
sails disappeared outside Portland Head,
carrying az least $4,000 away from Portland.

BACK BAY QUESTION.
An Eminent New York Expert Views
the Situation.

Locality Visited Yesterday with Mayor
Baxter, City Civil Engineer FernaId and
Mr.. e. C. Jordan-M agnitude of the
Problem.
Yesterday the first steps were taken
towards an effective solution of the
Back Bay sewerage difficulties. Nh.
Herring of New York, prominent en-
gineering expert, arrived in the city
yesterday, and was met by Mayor Bax-
ter, City Civil Engineer Fernald and
Mr.. E. c. Jordan. The party took ba-
rouches in the afternoon and rode
around Back Bay, examining it care
fully in all its features.
Later the party went out on to the
flats.
Mr.. Herring will remain here today
and quite likely tomorrow also. Mr.. Jor-
dan will entertain him at dinner today.
Mr.. Herring is one of the most promi-
nent specialists in the country. In this
state he has laid out the sewera ge sys-
tenn of Bar Harbor. He has been con-
suited by lis different cities.
The Back Bay problem is serious one,
and demands solution by the best tai
emit. More than one-half the sewerage
Of the city empties into Back Bay. All
sewers north of line running along
Congress and Pine streets, discharge
their contents into Back Bay. The nui-
sance is worse on the fats near the foot
of Boyd, Smith and Wilmot streets.

THE POLICE RELIEF.
Give Their Annual Ball at City Hall.

The Police Relief association, society
formed for the purpose of establishing ie-
lief fund for the Portland Police force ga We
it's first annual ball at City hall last even
ing and proved an immense success. There,
was tremendous crowd that filed all the
available space on the floor and IN the gall
cries and corridors. In fact promenading
in the corridors was attended with dln-
Guilty they were so crowded.
The floor managers and aides were re-
splendant in full dress uniform and elegant
floral favors. The cover of the order of
dances bore picture of the patrol wagon
with the horse on keen jump, on the way
to answer call.
The evenings pleasure began with de-
lightful concert by Chandler's band. This
was the programme:

The last number was received with hearty
laughter and applause. the synopsis ex-
plains it. Music, singing, police calls,
ties, cat and dog fights, all followed each
other SO rapidly ard comioally that it
proved one of the most successful of the
many compositions that has emanated from
Mr.. Chandler's brain.
An order Of fourteen dances followed and
received careful attention from the crowd
of dancers. The ball can be voted one of
the. best In the history of the department..
The committee of arrangements consisted
". R. Frank, 9. W. Hanson and 7. E.
Quinn, treasurer.
Deputy 7. E. Hartnett was floor director,
with these aides John f. A. Norton. John

a &c, ption committee and received the
members of the city government and other
invited guests and escorted them to seats
in the hall. George Robinson & Son were
the caterers and furnished an excellent
menu in Reception hall during the even
ing.
Previous to the ballsthe members of the
police force had sold over thousand tick
cts and there is every reason to believe
that the ball will net at least $1,000 tor the
relief fund.
