held the office under Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration. Col. John NJ. Adams
was candidate little, and Ethe Hon.
G. F johnson had been given honorable
mention" in that connection. Mir. Deer
ing may properly be called an eleventh
hour candid e, who has borne COM
paratively little of the bulden and heat
of the day, but has plucked the peFslm-
mons nevertheless. MIR. Deering had the
advantage over this prominent compet-
itors-t that all of them had borne pub
tic tribute to his democracy and to MS
resem blance in many traits of character
to Mr. Cleveland. To be sure these tri b.
utes were paid him when he was can
didate for something else than collector,
but it was quite natural for the Presl-
dent to take the ground that il he would
have been such an excellent man for
representative from this district he would
be no less excellent for collector, and, as
he was the only man his
competitors all agreed was thorou ghly
good one, that he would be just
the man to harmonic all the factions
Mr. Deering, had been endorsed
voluntarily by all the other candi-
dates, while no other candidate
had more than the endorsement of
himself and his friends. But this was
not all, though this might have been
enough to settle the question in
his favor. AS we pointed out some time
ago, Mr.. Deering enjoyed the distinction
of having been beaten by MIR. Reed worse
than any other man. and his Claim for
consolation was therefore greater than
that of any of the others. Then. too,
Mr.. Deering had given very recently
practical demonstration of his smartness,
which was better than all the testlmo-
malls of the Plum Trust, by defeating in
the Portland Board of Trade resolution
against free ships Taking all these
things into consideration, it is not per-
haps surprising that ne won the prize.
though his competitors who have been
Democrats all their lives and labored
faithfully in the vineyard when the
chances ofsrecompense were small, will
be good deal surprised and perhaps dis
gusted. However, it is Cleveland's will
and they will submit without any loud
murmurings, and perhaps will even tea
der Mr.. Deeripg their congratulations.

The charter of the Portland and cape
Eliza beth electric railway has been I'M
proved a good deal by the amendments
rnat nave been made to it, especially the
amendment that relates to the crossing
of the bridge. Obviously that bridge is
too narrow to accommodate electric cars
as we'll as the large volume OF carriage
travel that goes over it, and must be
yidened before it can be used for that
purpose. Everybody will be glad to see
the road built if it can be done without
jeopardi1ing ordinary travel, and nobody
is disposed to throw any unnecessary Oh
stacles in it's pathway. But the safety OF
life should be paramount to all other
considerations, and life and limb would
be in constant danger should electric
cars be allowed to run over the bridge
as it exists today.

strong representations that are now DE-
ing made by business men all over the
countrv to Congress of the necessity OF
some currency legislation that will put
the treasury on sounder basis, and
avert the danger of a suspension OF gola
payments, will. have some effect on the

NEW YoDk, Dee. 21s-& storm OF wind
andsrhin sprang up unexpectedly I'm this
city 1hst night, A stid breeze began to
blow 1t o'clock, which freshened into o
gale that had reached velocity Of sixty
nine miles an hour at II o'clock. The
heavy rainfall was accompanied by con-
tinuoHsiy falling barometer. Tho wind blew
down telegraph and telephone wires, and
made communication with tho suburbs
and ether places outside the city difficult.
The weather bureau reported that In con-
sequence Of the damage done tho wire re-
ports from various places were delayed or
interrupted. Signals were displayed all
along tho coast to aid incoming vessels.
In this city there were several accidents
causdd by the storm. Several roofs were
blown from houses in the annex district
ncross the Harlem, and numerous signs
and dhimneys were hurled into the streets
In this city. No accidents to life or limb
hayebeen reported.
Mr. E. II. Cummings, night manager OF
the Western Union, said 1.-THE storm Is
most severe in the south and along the
Jersey coast, high winds prevailing, and
communication with Washington, Balti-
moro and all the southern cities Is very
badly interrupted. Matter Is moving in
fairly good shape to the west, although wo

n Curious Instance Of AbstntDfndsdneae
and Consequent Embarrassment.
Inability to remember names Is fall
ing common TO great many people.
There are varying degrees Of tho malady,
of course, but nearly every ono has had
the experience Of going to call upon one Of
his most intimate friends, and suddenly,
as he assembled the steps and was about TO
ring the 1beil, finding himself utterly un-
able 10 recall the name Of the person he
was to ask for. This performance, howev-
or, has been completely distanced by the
feat Of Mrs. S., who lives up town and
now holds the palm among her acqusint-
ances for this sort Of observation-disclosures.
On the occasion OF the death of distant
relative recently she was Obliged to go
down to the surrogate's court to attend to
some business regarding tho will. In the
course Of the proceedings 1t became neoes-
sary for her to sign her maiden name to
the document in question. The clerk
handed her the pen, told her where tho
signature was to be affixed, and stood wait
ing for hor TO comply. But Mrs. S.
seemed stunned at the request. She stared
blankly at the young man before her and
then at the paper, but made no motion to-
ward writing, and said not word.
"Just sign your maiden name, you
Know" repeated the clerk, thinking she
had in some way misunderstood.
Mrs. S. knew only too well what he
had said, but was no more able TO execute
the task than the young man himself
would have been. She had been married
twice, and 1t is long time since she had
had occasion to use the name to which she
was born.
"I-I-really don't remember it, " she
In, NJ har n
the astonished clerk. II shall have to go
home and find out" And she disappeared
through the door with all the haste at her
command.
In telling the story afterward she said
that she paced up and down the street In
front Of that office for at least ten minutes
oudgeling her brains In vain effort to re-
call the lost name, and was finally Obliged
to go home as she had proposed, and look
1t up in an old book which had belonged
to her when a girl-New York Tribune
