The regular quarterly meeting of the
Maine Genealogical Society was held at
Baxter Hall last evening, the president,
Hon. M. F. King, presiding.
DIR. Charles E. Banks gave some inter-
esting facts about two men who figured
prominently in early Maine: Richard
Vines and Richard Tucker. Richard
Vines was deputy governor of the prov
ince of Maine about 1910 and subsequent
Iy. He removed to Barbadoer, where he
died in 1851. Vines spent the winter of
1916 and 1917 at the mouth of the Saco,
but it was not until 1850 that he estab-
hshed himself at that place as deputy
governor. One of his exploits was the
ascent of Saco river in canoe, going as
far as the White Mountains. DR.. Banks
gave the results of some Investigations
into the life of Vines at Barbados, CIV
ing his will, family, descendants, etc.
DIR. Banks also gave short sketch Of
Richard Tucker, first settler of Portland.
Up to this time the name of fuckers
wife has not been known; but the late
VIM 81. Sargent discovered in the book
of Eastern Claims that her name was
Margaret Reynall, daughter of Nicholas
Reynall, an early settl 4: of Pemaquid.
This fact was in Mr.. Sargent's papers,
which DR.. Banks has examined.
Mr.. Fritz Ell. Jordan presented an in
teresting record relating to DR.. Nathaniel
Jones of Cape Elizabeth, surgeon of the
Cumberland county regiment which went
in the Bagaduce expedition in the Revo-
lutionary war. he came to Cape Eliza
beth about 1865, and died from exposure
on the expedition. He was Mr.. Jordan's
great grandfather. One curious fact was
related. When DIR. Jones died he left
some land in Cape Elizabeth which was
held in common by his heirs until 1876.
That year it was divided by commission
appointed by the Supreme Judicial court.
in accordance with the principles of colo
NAL law in force at the time of the doc
tors death. By this arrangement the
Oldest sons share was twice that of the
others.
Four new members were elected: L.
D. Carver of Augusta and R. K. Sewall
of Wiscasset, honorary, and Philip F.
Turner of Portland and J. M. Benjamin
of Winthrop, active.
Treasurer Thompson reported the re-
ceipt of Genealogies of the Banks, Bonte-
con, Brownell, Lee, Leighton, Marsh,
Preble. Prime, Ressequie, Savery, Sim
onton and Willard, Spalding and Stiles
families.
The society's library now numbers 1912
volumes and pamphlets.

A Cat Tale.

A correspondent from an island in the
harbor writes as follows:
II have often seen stories OF intelli-
gence in dumb animals printed in your
paper, and thought this true story which
I am about to relate might be of interest
to your readers, as well as good plea
in behalf of dumb animals. We have
a cat hichbecame mother last night to
a family of three kittens, of which she
is very fond, but her fondness for her
own family does not drive the love for
others from her heart but seems to
strengthen it, There were three unfor-
innate chickens brought into the house,
and the cat, hearing their cries, went
to their assistance; but thinking she
would devour them, we kept her away
the best we could, until we saw that she
meant no harm, when they were placed
in her basket; and she cares for them
as she does for her own babies and
chickies seem perfectly satisfied with
their new mamma.
In doing this she has saved the lifesof
her own family, as we have too many
cats already but we cannot take one
of her children from her when she has
done such noble deed of kindness to
others. A LOVER OF ANIMALS.

THE PORTLAND RENDERING co.
A New Industry To Be Established
at East Deering.

Auxiliary to the Portland Beef Company
Under the Same Management Will
Make Oil to Export to HolIand-A Mar
ket for PortIand's Waste Fats,
The Portland Rendering Company was
born only week ago and yet 1.-THE land
has been purchased, the foundations of
the building begun, all the building con-
tracts made and the intention is that
everything will be ready for business by
June first. That is the way that Swift
& Co. of Chicago, who control the Port
land Beef Company of this city, carry
out new enterprises. The Portland Rem
derlng Company will be practically the
same as the Portland Beef Company.
Mr.. FL. B. Peters will be the treasurer
and manager of both, and Mr.. Swift will
control both. There are two companies,
because to render oil from waste fat is
very different from handling fresh beef.
A large piece of land has been pur-
chased of the Eastern Forge Company.
The building will be about 100x50 feet.
Mr.. John C. Flanagan has the contract
for the foundation and went to work yes
terday morning with 30 men.
The building will contain watts, refin-
cries, tanks, agitators, coolers, cookers,
and all of the best modern machinery for
rendering various grades of oils from ami
NAL fats. The location is admirable be-
cause there are good facilities for drain
age into the bay at the mouth of the
Presumpscot, the Sebago water can be
handily secured and the Grand Trunk
affords transportation.
The Eastern Forge Company, that
owns most of that part of East Deering,
was DESTROYS that the new plant should
locate there and gave advantageous
terms.
The Portland Beef Company has
branch establishments in Bangor. Lewis
ton, Rockland, Bath, Augusta, Biddeford
and several points in New Hampshire.
1t is large distributing centre and will
receive the waste fats from all these
branches. 1t will also buy the waste
fats from the markets in Portland.
The product will be exported to Hol-
land.

The Congress Street Asphalt.

The Transcript learns in regard to the
repairing of the asphalt pavement on
Congress street that the company now
having monopoly of this kind of
work decline to come to the city for so
small job. They would undertake the
paving of street and have the material
for doing acceptable work as they have
done elsewhere. The other company
which laid the asphalt pavement here
is not now in existence. The material
they used which was examined deterior-
ated, and they were, consequently, at
the last, unable to perform satisfactory
work

A VICIOUS BOY
Has Abused His Mother and Sisters Like
Heart1ess Animal.

James L. McCue, the young man who
Municipal Court yesterday morning, for
intoxication, is an extraordinary speci-
men of youthful depravity. His offence
was really more than mere lntoxication.
He is only IS years old, yet when his
mother told him to stay in the house
last Monday, because he was intoxicated
he knocked her down with stove litter,
threw chair out of the window, went
out into the street and threw half
brick at the window, which smashed in
the sash as well as the glass, and then
skunk off to the Gait block, (the house
is on the other side of Commercial
street), waited there a few moments,
then picked up a rock as large as his
two fists, skunk across the street, leaned
against lamp post near the house and
waited for chance to throw that rock
at his mother through the window.
Finally he crept into the house with
the rock still in his hand. What he did
with it isn't clear, but soon after the
officer came.
About year go, this same youth
was seen by gentleman to. knock his
sister down on the sidewalk, and strike
her the second time. The gentleman
couldn't stand that, and interfered.
The boy tried to strike him with beer
bottle that he took from his pocket, but
was prevented. For that affair he
spent 80 days in Jail. After his sentence
yesterday morning, his face, young as
he is, expressed nothing but devil-may-
care unconcern, and he even smiled
little.
