O'MEARA AGAIN.
Resumes Chargeof the journal for Num-
Der of Boston Men,

Boston, Deem her 2S.-W. u. Sohier,
the well-known Pemberton square at
torney, has bought so of the 100 shares of
stock of the Journal Newspaper Com
pany, and is now in control Of the Bos
ton Journal. Mr.. Sohier has not bought
the stock in the interest of any syndicate
although others will be associated with
him in the ownership of the paper,
among them being Stephen O'Meara, who
Will be editor and publisher of the Jour
nal. The stock bought By Mr.. Sohier was
held by the heirs Of the late Major Rog-
ers, one of the original owners of the
paper. The purchaser does not care to
State the price paid to Francis NJ. Stan
Wood. the sOn-in-laW of Mrs. Rogers, ana
the former editor and manager of the
paper, but it is admitted that the sum
was large one.
Mr.. Sohier said this morning: 1.-THE
report that I have bought so shares of
the journal stock is correct. The names
OF the gentlemen who will be associated
with me in the ownership | am not at
liberty to state, but they will be mon of
the highest standing Mr. o Meara
Will be the editor and publisher and will
also have stock interest. One thing
Should be clearly understood, and that
40 uiies" onls property has DeeA pouSHt lor
business purposes, to be run OH business
principles and entirely independent of
any private or political individual inter-
ests You cannot put that too strongly.
The change will take place within a
few days, although 1 am already in pos
session Of the stock, SO that there can be
no withdrawal. The paper will con-
tinue to be strongly Republican. The
fact that Mr.. O'Meara returns to the
management Of the Journal, after an alb
sence of only few months, is sufficient
guarantee that the general policy Of the
paper in the past will be followed again.
The report that the paper had been
bought in the interest OF Speaker Reed
or any other Presidential candidate, is
untrue. Neither Mr.. Reed nor his friends
knew anything about the sale before it
was made -
Mr.. O'Meara, the new editor of the
journal was also seen and at the in
terview with MIR. Sohier told the whole
story Whatever changes will be made in
the staff of the Journal, will not be made
by Mr.. O'Meara, but he said he had not
even considered that matter at present.

EAST DEERING ELECTRlCs.
Two New Cars Began to Run Saturday
The New Time Table.

The electric cars began running on the
East Deering line Saturday much to the
satisfaction of the residents of Ocean
street and East Deering. For some weeks
they have been the only people in this
vicinity who have had to ride in horse
cars and it has made them feel decidedly
out of date, as if in fact, they were all
wearing last years hats. There are two
new electric cars for this line They are
rather lighter and brighter In color than
the Deerlng cars. They are in every way
as handsome and comfortable as the
rest and that means as good as any cars
in the country. hey are heated by cleo
ITCHY. A new time table goes into effect
this week. The first cal leaves East Deer
ing for Woodfords and PotIand at 6.15 a,
m. The next leaves at T. Is o. M, and
after that they leave every half hour, at
10 minutes past and Is minutes to the
hour, up to 9.15 p. NJ. There are two cars
after that at 10 and 80 p. IN.
he first car leaves Portland for East
Deering at 6. 45 a. m. and every half hour
after that till 8. 40 p. IN. The three later
cars leave at .. 30, 10 and TO- 80 .. m. On
week days passengers will change cars at
the head of Ocean street as heretofore, but
on Sundays the East Deering cars will
run straight into Portland. The first
Sunday Car for Portland leaves East

Accident.

Miss A. L. Mcdonald made a misstep
sprained her ankle SO severely that she
is confined to the house.
Mr.. Henry Dyer, we'll known to most
Portland people through his connection
with shipbuilding matters in this city,
met with painful accident last Thurs
day at his home on Locust street, which
may prove serious. MI. Dyer. who is SO
years of age, is just convalescing from a
bad fracture of several ribs and was
barely able to walk about his ROOM
Thursday, while walking across the floor
be stumbled and fell. receiving very
bad fracture of the right hip. DR.. Mer-
rill was called to attend the case
1.-Two small boys had a very narrow es-
cape from drowning Saturday afternoon.
Tho youngsters were playing around the
tug James Sampson, which was lying at
Portland pier. The crew were all ashore
and the boys had full sway and were
having lots of fun climbing about, over
the sides of the tug and scampering over
the decks. The boys were both hanging
over the side OF the boat just as the
Elizabeth City came into her landing.
and it is thought the wash from her
paddle wheels caused the tug to give a
lureh, for suddenly both boys shot into
the water and would surely have been
drowned if 5hey had not been seen just
in time by a young man who happened
to be neaf by and witnessed the accident
who promptly rescued them from their
perilous position. AS it was, one of the
lads sank twice before he WAS rescued.

THE NATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
Another Bill for Its Establishment Intro.
A8 duced.

Washington, Decem Der 2S.-Another
bill to establish a National University
at Washington has been introduced. in
both the Senate and the House. 1t pro-
vides for univers ity of the highest type,
vests the government of the university in
a board of 16 regents with the President
of the Uni ed States at it's head and a
university cou neil embracing said board
and 10 eminent educators, representing
as many institutions of high rank and
belonging to as many states, the regent
to have charge Of all business affairs, the
council of all else. 1t further authorizes
the university to establish cooperative
relations with other institutions of the
country. prohibits partisan and sectarian
preferences in any form, makes admis-
sion depend on competency only and SO
guards the degrees to be granted as to
protect the interests of all collegiate in
situations entitled to recognition. In
consideration of the financial condition
of the country it appropriates for the
fiscal years of 1897 and 1898 barely enough
to euable the board Of regents to organize
and do such preliminary work as should
not longer lie delayed, at the same time
opening the door to all such as may de-
sirs, in imitation of George Washington,
to contribute in any way to the great en-
tSgprise originated by him.

He told, in answer to Mr.. Choate' 8
questions, just what was done on the De-
fender on the Friday night preceding tho
first race, aad the following night He
declared with some feeling that no BIZ J.
last had been added after the official
measurements had been taken and that
OF course none had been removed before
the remeasurements. His testimony was
direct and convincing. He said that it
was absolutely impossible for the alleged
changes in ballast to have taken place
without his knowledge; that he would
have known it if the Defender was four
inches deeper in the water on the day OF
the first race than she had been on the
previous day, and that the quantity OF
lead necessary to make such change
could not be slowed so as TO escape his
observations Mr.. Askwith gave him a
severe cross-examination and Mr.. Iselin
beca1-e quite hot under the questions
that were asked by the English barrister.
He WAS inclined to resent the inference
to be drawn from the questions and MIR.
A skWith had difficult task to obtain
answers.
AT IL. 40 a recess was taken and at p.

Iselin still in the witness chair. He was
followed by Capt Half, the honest old
New Highlander, who sailed the Ameri-
can boat on all her races. Capt. Half

additional ballast in and no increase of
the water line. He stuck to that in spite
of all the subtleness of Mr. Askwith's
cross-examination and corroborated the
testimony of Mr.. Iselin as to the work
Of the Defender before and after the
first race. 1t was nearly o'clock be-
fore Mr.. AsRwith finished with Capt.
Half, and as there were at least dozen
more witnesses to be examined for the
defense, it was concluded to adjourn the
hearing till 10 a. IN. ON Monday.
The members of the committee and
counsel for the two sides left the club
house as soon as the meeting was over
They all deolin to say anything about
the investigation further than that an
adjournment until Monday had been
taken. The witnesses to be examined
on Monday include Capt. Terry, who as
sisted Capt. Half Fin the management of
the Defender, Official Measurer Hyslop
and IS memb ers of the Defenders crew.
1t is said that David Henderson, who
was Lord Dunraven's representative Oh
the Defender, has declined to testify.

charges. After this, Lord Dunraven was
recalled a few minutes to make clear one
or two points in the testimony. He
was followed by Nat Herreshoff, the
builder and designer Of the Defender, who
said such increase of ballast as was
charged would handicap rather than aid
the yacht. He said she would be found
to be stiff enough for any weather and
the addition of the ballast would only
retard her He also stated that only
three tons of movable ballast had been
provided and that it would require at
least IA tons to sink the boat IA inches
beyond her meP sured water line
After Mr.. Askwith had made Mr..
Herreshoff go over his statements several
times and had failed to tangle him up,

the Defender Syndicate took the stand.

few days ago, when an attachment was
placed thereon to secure $4,000 by Sam

acted as agent for the Grange and bought
the goods wherever he pleased and had
