DEERTNG.

Officer Stewart Wooster, of the Deering
police. captured on Sunday two boys,
aged II or 49, years each, named Jack
Wright of Portland and Peter Riley of
Deering. They were placed in the iron
cage at Woodfords to await the action of
Judge Elders court. 1t is alleged that
the boys have been very miscellaneous in
the vicinity of Libby Town, ringing
door bells, shooting at citizens, tying
sticks to door knobs. etc. A third boy
was pursued, but escaped. Mr. Wooster
had to use considerable stratagem to cap
ture the boys. Knowing that they would
be coming along Portland street, he hid
his team behind the fence in the Oaks,
and ambUshed himself behind a tele-
phone pole. The boys were wary, and
as they approached saw the officer's cap
visor projecting. Seeming danger, they
halted and then turned to run. Mr..
Wooster ar once jumped into his team
and startedfin pursuit, finally overtaking
Wright and Riley.

Mr.. Hasty had taken charge of the
stable in Mr.. Murray's absence, and that
the latter would return to Portland next
Tuesday. He also learned that only the
bargain had been made to sell the sta BILE,
and that no papers had been made over

A QUEER CASE
That Has Been Brought Before Judge
Peabody in the Probate Court.

Judge Peabody had an odd case before
him in the Probate Court. 1t seems that
two maiden ladies' of Westbrook, the
Misses AImena and Harriet Pratt, who
are possessed of a comfortable property
became possessed with the idea that
someone was trying to poison them, and
thus get possession of their estate. They
thought that poison was pushed into the
house under the window stills, left upon
table where it would get into the food
and drink, and the singlar thing about
the matter is that not one, but both OF
pressed with this idea. Controlled By
this fear the two ladies were virtually
starving. They were afraid to touch any
nourishment that poison could possibly
get into. Finally they consented to tho
appointment Of Mr.. Elwell as guardian,
and things went along for time, very
well, but now the old fear has returned.
They have improved evidently iE health
in the meantime. The ladies now wish
to get rid of the guardian, for they claim
they are amply able to manage their
property. Or. the other hand the city of
Wetbrook fears that if left to their man
agement they will waste their means and
become town charge. So hearing in
Court, Mr.. Knowlton appearing 5for the
Misses Pratt and Mr.. Lyons for the city
of West brook.

Engineers and Public Works.

While the United States government
and the great railroad corporations have
been fortunate in the quality OF the en-
cheering talent at their command, the
American municipal governments, vast
as their engineering and architecturaI
much money and sacrificed many great
opportunities through the lack of ade-
anate professional advice. The Rapid
Transit Commission of New York. who
are about to decided upon the final route
and plans for an underground electric
system, have recently shown excellent
judment by submitting all their prelim-
mary proposals to the critical revising
of d board of highly expert and authori-
tative engineers. The investment in
this professional advice will III the long
run have saved the public treaury many
times the cost of the engineers fee. Grad
ualiy our cities are learning to do public
business in busiEesslike way. The prin-
ciual A american cities, in the aggregate,
are spending several hundred million
dollars every year in new buildings,
street improvements, water works. sew
erace systems, bridges, and various other
nubIic works. That they should fail to
see the wisdom of making these per-
manent OUTLAWS only upon the strength
of the very highest obtainable advice in
technical and artistic directions, would
seem incredible to municipal admins
traitor from Paris, Berlin or Vienna, not
to mention Birmingham or Edinburgh.
No investment in the making OF public
improvement pays SO well as the pre-
liminary investment in the best posi-
Bile quality of professional advice. From

City Physician,s Report.

report Saturday. From it We learn that
during the past municipal year be made
LA siek calls. an increase over the preced-
ing year OF 332. The total number of deaths
WAS %. The average number of daily
patients in the hos ital was 40. The chief
cause of death was old age and Dement'S.
He recommends the need of a ward of
private rooms FOR the insane, So that the in
sane might be ore benefited, also that the
purchase of articles for the sick-such as
drugs, limits, liquors, etc.-should be made
in bulk, thereby resulting i'll saving for
the city of ten. fifteen OF twenty per cent.
A check list should be used in he purchase
of articles. and the city physician should
not be allowed to audit his own bills. He

HARBoR NOTES.
A Very Little "Tramp''-The New Tug.


The small tramp steamer Cola, of
Charlottetown, MS, Captain Donald,
arrived yesterday morning, with 1884
puncheons and 81 barrel of molasses,
from Porto Rico, for George S. Hunt &
Co.
She is small steamer of only 161 tons.
and since she is ironclad, and has a red
smokestack and floats the English flag.
and is altogether very similar to the big
liners that have come here all winter,
and yet is not much larger than the Mer-
ryconeag, she seems like toy ocean

Captain George Matthews of the. tow
boat Demarest, arrived yesterday with
his new tow boat, the Cornelia. She is
little larger than the Demarest and a
very strongly built boat.
We understand that competition
among the harbor tow boats will be even
sharper than heretofore, because of the
arrival of the Cornelia, and that there

AN IMPORTANT CONTEST.
six of the Odd Fellow Lodges Win Go Into
the New Baxter Block.

Saturday afternoon the papers were
signed by the trustees of the six Odd Eel
lows bodies, that had voted to so into the
new Baxter block. on the one part, and by
Mayor Baxter on the other. by which con
tract one half of the quarters that would
have been taken in the new block to be
erected on the corner of Congress and Oak
streets if all the bodies had voted in favor,
has been leased for term OF years. This
arrangement gives one hall and one eIeva-
tor instead of two, but affords a spacious
home, with modern oonveniences. The
price we hear will be Sl4O0. whereas if the
entire floor had been rented the lease would
have called for $500.
1t is reported that the knights Of Pythias
are considering the advisability of taking
the other half of the floor.

Funeral of the Late Joseph Robinson of
Oxford, Maine.

Oxford, Maine.
The funeral services OF one of the most
successful and wealthy wooden manufac-
turers of our state took place at the
Congregational church of Oxford, on
Saturday afternoon. at O'Clock. The
occasion called together a large mum Der
of the citizens of Oxford county, and
there were representative men from diff
ferent sections of New England, who
more than filled the large meeting
house Of that village. We noticed from
the city of Portland Ex-Governor Robbie,
Hon. Charles F.Libby, lyman NJ. Cous-
ems, ESQ.,, James e. Mcdowell, ESQ.,,
Howard Gould, Esq, Frederick NJ. Lib
by, and Hon. f . Augustus Libby of New
York city. There were also present sew
George A. Lockwood OF Kennehunk, who
was for period of nine years former
pastor of the Congregational society of
Oxford. and an intimate friend and &C.
quaintaDce of Mr.. Robinson, delivered
the funeral discourse.
The community in which he lived has
met with the loss of a worthy, honest
and great man, and the sympathy and
sorrow were manifested as hundreds of
his fellow citizens filed by his casket and
looked lpon his remains for the last
time. The beautiful flowers on and
about his casket were numerous and ar
tristieally arranged, and the singing by
the village choir was excellent. The re-
mains were followed to the grave by q
long procession of his fellow citizens.
He was great friend of the late Hon.
Harrison J. Libby of this city, who at
one time was intimately associated with
him in business. He is fortunate in
having sons who have the confidene of
the pu bile, and are fully competent to
carry on the large and lucrative business
now entrusted to their care.
