ON MAeKWoRTH's SHORE.
Members of the City Government Pay
Visit to Mayor and Mrs. Baxter.

The members Of the city government,
with their wives, together with the city
officers, had an outing that will long be
remembered, at Mayor Baxter's summer
home on Mackworth's Island. yesterday
afternoon. They left on the Mayors
launch and the steamer Alice at Q
O'Clock sharp, and reached the island at

stand. The detailed score was as fol-

THAT cAULKgR CUES tom
The Other Side as Presented by Mr.
Turner.

Mr.. WI Turner of South Portland
wishes to say that the article in yester-
day mornings Argus does great injus-
tice to the preseno force employed by the
marine railway, in quoting them as in
ferior worknen. AS matter of fact,
charge, says the men are all known to
be first-class caulkers and of many
years experience, he himself having
served thirty years at the business, and
his work has always given perfect salts
faction to vessel owners, while for four
years he was foreman for Mr.. A. K. p.
Leighton, the well known shipwright and
caulker. Mr.. Turner says that on &C
count of the depression in shipping for
several years past, much of the work
formerly done here has gone to other
nearby ports, where it could be &C
compHshed at less expense. In order to
keep the the business here the marine
railway company consulted Mr.. Turner
about doing their work, and to prepare
lower schedule of prices. The new
price list was presented to the company
and accepted by them, and they propose
to stand by them, the boss to receive IS
per day and the men under him So. So.
We understand after this arrangement
was made, the old caulkers appointed a
committee to wait on the Marine Rail-
way Company and offered to do the
work at the reduced price offered by
Mr.. Turner, allowing the company would
boycott him. The company considered
thisiproposition unfair, and refused to. ac-
cede to the demands
One of the "old caulkers" so-called,
which means the men who belong to the
Caulkers' Association, said last night
that petition was being circulated
among his friends of the association to
adopt the lower prices now being paid
by the Marine Railway Company, and
thus keep in Portland the work that has
been going to Bath and other places, and
which amounts, it is said, to $4,000 to
$50, 600.
In fact, some of the owners in the Ma
rine : Railway have been sending the
work Of their vessels to Bath because Of
the high wages demanded here by the
caulkers' association. At least this is
what Mr.. Turner declares to be fact
1t may be queried as to just why
caulkers should receive So so and
IS. 50 1-3 per day, when carpenters and
other laborers do not receive nearly so
much, and then it certainly requires no
more ability or experience to be a
caulker than a carpenter. Of course it
may be said that caulkers do not get
work regularly; neither do carpenters.
Mr.. Turner says that the Caulkers'
Association has done all in it's power
TO prevent apprentices from learning the
trade, and that on one occasion when
he, having charge of crew of men,
admitted an apprentice, the Caulkers'
Asso citation, was very angry with him
and have tried to boycott him since. He
says that it is the disposition OF the As
sociation to keep out apprentices and
keep in all the work for themselves and
thus keep up the high prices that has
driven such work away from Portland
and has led to the request of the Ma
rine Railway company for the reduction
of wages.

Mr.. PEARSON DECLINES.
Will Not Recommend Two Liquor sellers
to Sheriff Cram.

1t will be recollected that in his letter
published in the. PRESS some time ago,
Sheriff Cram stated that the Rev. Sam
uel E. Pearson had agreed to recommend
two men for liquor sellers before the
middle of July. Sheriff Cram has now
received a letter from Mr.. Pearson, in
which the latter says that on account of
the advice of his friends and in consid-
Grafton of his own position as prohibit
ton candidate for sheriff, he has decided
not to make any recommendations.

GHOST HUNT A-WHEEL
Mapleton's spook to Be Bun
Down by Bioyclists.
Unique Plan Proposed by Young
Mr.. Mapledoram.
The Swift and Silent Hunters to
Rendezvous Wednesday Night.

If there IL a ghost at Napoleon, near
Coney Island, as some people are will
ing to swear there is, II will be hunted
on Wednesday night as never was
ghost hunted before.
The originator of the new plan of
spcctrc-chasing is A. ID. Mapledoram, a
young man employed in the office of the
Brooklyn City Railroad. who has been
If ghosts are rapid sprinters, the bicycle
can make better time.
lie has therefore organized corps Of
Brooklyn whecmen who are going 10
Mapleton Wednesday night TO indulge In
the excitement of ghost hunt a-wheel.
In support of his theory that "A bicycle
can make better time than spirituality
with a shroud on, Mr.. Mapledoram
points out that 1t Is Il pretty rapid breeze
that can go faster than twenty-five miles
an hour, and that he himself can beat
that on his wheel.
Besides, the spectre is to be taken ad-
vantage Of, by being cornered In the
middle of the field where 1T is said TO
appear nightly. According to reports,
it rises up where Margaret Earning
committed suicide week ago yesterday
and after frightening people takes to
the woods. MIR. Maplcdorams plans are
to have dozen wheelmen stationed on
all sides of the spot where the ghost ap-
pears. When its hideous skull first APP
pears above terra iirma all are to mount
for the charge and start for the spectre.
If it fees the wheelmen will start in
pursuit, and Mr.. Mapledoram says II is
dollars to pretzels that no ghost can get
away from a lot of bicycle spook- hunters.
AZ proof of his courage to carry out the
plans of the undertaking Mr. Maple
doram states that ON Saturday night
he and two friends, Mr.. Myers and MIR.
Maginnis. went In search of the ghost.
but failed to catch Ii because OF the
cowardice of his comrades. When II or
something else that is white appeared
Myers started on a run and dashed
straight into Maginnis. There was
nearly a fight, Mapledoram says, and
while interfering he lost the chance to
solve the ghost problem.
The bicycle corps Is to be made up OF
non-combatants. however, and some Of
the riders are to be armed with flash
light cameras to catch a picture OF the
mystery, while others will try to corral
1t for the scientists who are meeting In
Brooklyn this week.
A white pig was run over and killed
by a Bay Ridge train this morning.
Some persons think the ghost was the
white piE, and that its death will end
all ghostly manifestations. They be-
| lieve that the pig scooting over the
track at night was all the ghost there
ever has been in the case.

DEFEAT AHEAD.
Without Union, He Says, the
Democrats Are Sure to
Be SVamped.
PLEASE HELP THE POOR TIGER.
Opposition to the Machine, State
or City, Means Repub-
lioan Success.
LOOKED UPON AS A Wall.
Anti.Tammanyites Surprised at the
Mayors Confession Of
Weakness.
LOOKED UPON AS A Wall.

mo sane man believes the Democrats
can carry New York State this year
unless the Democratic forces are united
and work enthusiastically for the
State ticket"
Thus spoke Mayor Gilroy of the politl-
cal situation this morning
1T will not be enough" he added, "for
the disaffected Democrats to refrain
from nominating an opposition ticket.
They must all join together and give
earnest support to the Democratic can
didates. II they do not 1t IL almost GER
tain the Republicans will win.
II repeat that unless there is union
the Democrats will be defeated at the
polls next November"
The Mayor addressed his warning to
machine men and Anti-Snappers alike,
for he Is well aware tnat some machine
men are not disposed to harmonic with
the ants They want to lead. The
others must follow. they say. Mayor
Gilroy Is talking to his resolution inviting
Democrats to get together at the prima-
ries, for he knows well there can be no
harmony as long as there Is hostile feel
ing In either camp.
Mayor Gilroy came directly from Sara
toga, where he has been in touch with
the machine leaders, and by their ad-
vice he evidently reserved his last plea
for harmony until his return. What
he said is principally for the benefit of
the local factions opposing Tammany
Hall. the Independent County Organi-
cation, the anti-Tammany Democracy,
the Good Government Clubs and the
German-Amerlcan Reform Union, the
leaders of which have said that under
no circumstances would they associate
| with the corrupt Tammany ring.
1t is a serious question that con-
| fronts u.s." said d prominent Democrat
| commenting on Mayor GilToy's appeal.
" The wanton course of the machine
| threatens disaster to the Democratic
party. They have got into trouble and
they ask Us to help them out of 1t. We
| have been ignored until now, and nov
they have use for US. and they crs
for help and harmony. As Democrat
| l want to see my party successful. As
| n good citizen L want to see the down
| fail of the machine. Between the two
am for good government. Defeat Is
more welcome than the continuation OF
BOSS rule"

A gang of boys are in the habit Of
congregating on the pier at the foot of
East Thirty-fourth street playing
Craps and singing ribald songs. to the
annoyance of the Glen Island excursion-
lists who start from there and land
there. The steamboat officials have
made frequent complaints to the police,
and yesterday an attempt was made
to capture the entire gang. Six police
men pounced upon the boys yesterday
afternoon.
The only way of escape open was the
river, and twenty-five boys jumped over
board, clothes and all, and escaped. Five
of the gang hid Under the pier. The
police procured a rowboat and arrested
them. This morning they were each
fined 50.
They described themselves as Joseph
williams, eighteen years old. of 3H East
Thirty second street; Thomas Flaherty,
aged seventeen, of 324 East Thirty-hfth
street: Charles Smith, fifteen years old,
6O3 First avenue; William Mason. aged
