The resignation of Mr. D. W. Hawkes.,
the High school teacher, and the act of
the school board, which led to his taking
the step, is a subject of more or less COM
ment about town. 1t should be stated
that when the board took $100 off the sal
ary of Mr. Haw kes they added the
amount, SIS, to one and $25 the other.
to the salaries of the two under teachers
Any impression that the school board
contemplated in any way to crippling the
school or of serving notice on Mr..
Hawkes. that his services could be dis
pensed with is a false one A petition is
being circulated among the alumni and
other warm friends of Mr.. Hawkes. and
the school praying for reconsideration
of what has taken place.
When the Railroad Commissioners gave

electric tracks in this town the South
Portland villagers were represented by
men who bespoke track in the middle

ter track and in favor of side one as
there is against passing through those
registering turnstiles at the ferry land
ings.

ADEsIRABLE IMPROVEMENT.
Talk of Widening Portland Street Along
by the Oaks and Aims House.

A plan is under consideration for effect
ing at little expense an Improvement
very desirable for the future beauty of
Portland A large portion of Portl and
street extends along by Deering Oaks and
the almshouse lot. The scity owns the
land of both those lots, so that Portland
street in that place can be widened at no
expense for land damages In the future
this portion of Portland street is likely
to be one of the most desirable in the city
for residences. 1t fronts on the Oaks
which are becoming more beautiful as a
park every year The widening of Port
land street would make magnificent
driveway, which sometime in the future
will have on one side beautiful residences
and on the other the Oaks.
1t is probable that this matter will be
brought to the attention of the city gov
ernment.

A SMALL FIRE.
But Determined Attempt to Burn the
Catholic Cathedral.

While some of the parishioners We're at
their devotions in the Cathedral yester-
Gay noon, about 1 O'Clock, they smelled
smoke, and looking through the glass
door, that separated the Cathedral from
the chapel, saw the chapel was full of
smoke. An alarm was given to the priests
In the Episcopal residence and messen-
ger sent to Ladder 1, where Driver Loring
sent IN still alarm to the Chemical. AS
the Chemical was starting an alarm was
pulled in from box 80. The Chemical
found the yestry and large chapel full of
smoke. In the chapel large wad of pap
er had been thrust beneath the matti ng
in the main aisle The mating was of
straw material and very inAammable,
and so when the paper was set on fire it
made quite a blaze. The fire was extin-
gu1shed without putting on any water.
When the fire was out another blaze
was discovered. In the vestry, which is
a part of the auditorium of the Cathedral
and directly behind the main altar are
series of closeUs used for keeping the
vestments and paraphernalia used on the
altar. On top of the closets brisk fire
was IN progress among some evergreen
that had been used for decorations. This
blaze was promptly extinguished by the
use of the Chemical.
The fremen made thorough exaInina-
tion and were. convinced beyond doubt
that somebody had throw some papers up
there and ignited the heap of papers and
dry evergreen.
Z. It was learned Tuesday that attempt
was also made to burn the Cathedral.
Some miscr cant went into the main
church an taking a prayer book de1iber-
ately tore out the leaves and building a
small pile on the altar steps set it on fire.
1t was discovered in the nick of time and
extinguished. The carpet was slightly
burned.
The damage from those fires was very
slight. The fire committee will make a
thorough investigation and it will be
hard lines for the incendiary if caught
The police kept a special watch over
the cathedral and grounds last night but
nothing suspicious was discovered.

that he had about three hundred men
work; and they are turning out SOM
notable pieces of machine construction.
just now Mr. Greensmith is very busy
with the details of the new foundry build
ing, W hich is to be built very soon. Th'
dimensions of this building are to b.
176xS7 feet. 1t is to take the place of tht
old foundry, which does not afford con
venient facilities for the heavy work re
quired of it. The new foundry is to bt
fitted with twenty ton electric crane
With one exception it will be the largest
crane in the State of Maine. That excep
tion is the electric crane in the machine
shop of this company, put in several years
ago.
The most important piece of work now
going on in the works is the construction
of the engines and boilers of the new In
ternational Steamship st. Croix. This
engine is the largest ever built in New
England, being considerable larger than
the engines of the warships built in Bath.
The great engine is quite we'll advanced
towards completion. AS it stands now in
the shop it towers up twenty seven feet
over all, a powerful mass of steel with
the most nicely adjusted parts. The boil
ers to the St Croix will be four in num-
ber Two of them are completed, and
rolled out towards the Portland Compa-
nys pier The other two are still in the
broiler shop. Each is thirteen feet in di-
ameter and twelve feet long. They are
the largest boilers ever built in Maine.
The Portland Company make special
ty of large boilers, and especially of pulp
digesters, a class of work in which they
easily excel all competitors.
There are now under construction in
the works six large vertical boilers which
are to be used for driving the machinery
of cotton mill at Pacheco, N. H.
OF the huge pulp digesters three have
just been contracted for by large mill
in New Hampshire. Work has not begun
on them yet.
A large digester, 3S feet long and IA feet
in diameter is under construction for ID
paper mill in Weste m New York.
The stand pipes for the water works at
Kennebunkport and Gorham are also to
be made by the Portland Company. The
Kennebunkport stand pipe will be 100
feet high and 80 feet in diameter The
Gorham pipe is to be so feet high and 81
feet in diameter.
The revenue cutter Woodbury. is being
repaired at the Portland Company s
wharf. The work is nearly done.
