want the Track Extended.

Citizens of Munjoy Hill are very
anxious to have the track extended from
it's present terminus at Fort Allsn Park
through Morning street to Congress,
thus making a circuit around the more
thickly settled section of the Hill. The
cars would then run down Atlantic, Will
son and Beckett streets and along the
Promenade, thence through Morning
and Congress streets and down again.
This would obviate the necessity of wait
ing on the Wilson street siding and
would DO away with the up grade on
Beckett street, beside greatly conven-
isncing people who now have to walk
quite distance to reach the cars. A
petition is to be sent to the company
asking for this extension which it is not
thought will add much to the expense OF
the present work.

DIAMOND SWINDLERS.
How Two Boston. Men Sold worthless
Diamonds to Several Portland Men who
Should Have Known Better.

The following facts are told about the
street and there is no reason to believe
that they are not true.
Last Friday two young men came Go
Portland from Boston and registered at
Swett's Hotel. They soon made &C
men Of the right stamp and through
them were able to carry out the purpose
of their visit to Portland. They brought
with them quantity of beautiful dia-
mond rings and pins. They intimated
that they were stolen goods and that
they would dispose of them at a big dis
count. Through the young Portland
men they learned of the proper parties
in this city to approach with sucn a
proposition, and as a result some three
or four well known men about town,
who are always son the make" financial
~, purchased several of the beautiful
diamonds from the go-betweens, at what
appeared to be big bargain, such as
the payment of $50 for $3.50 diamonds
solitaire, etc. 1t is stated that in this
way several hundred dollars worth OF
the beautiful diamonds were disposed
of, one of them to Hebrew pawn brok-
CT. After being here two or three days
the two Boston men skipped out. The
purchasers of the diamonds were men
who ought to have known better, but
the fact soon developed that they had
been swindled, and that the diamonds
were very clever counterfeits-in fact
remarkably clever.
