APPRoPos to the act Of council
providing for sale Of the city parks
Of Vinita, and the consequent ex-
citement, funny little story has
leaked out. 1t is said that the
principal argument used in favor
Of the measure was that two Of our
citizens we're getting ready to steal
them bodily, and that they already
had the south park fenced. We do
not know who the author of the
ill-starred bill that proposes to
come in and undo the work Of the
Cherokee nation since 1871 was,
but the argument was unique to
say the least of it, and shows a
perfect familiarity with the meth
ods Of the men who were suspected
Of planning the theft. The story
of the larceny of two city parks
would certainly knock the wind
out Of the yarn that an Arkansas
moonshine distillery was stolen
and moved into an adjoining coun.
ty and set to running in a single
night.

day in going through that testi.
m0ny so as to get II through BY
the 10Th Of December. The COM
mission saw when it convened,
that il would be almost impossi-
bic to finish it by the 10Th Of De-
cember, and we jointly telegraph
ed to Washington asking for few
days extention, and that was all
we did ask for. The department
said il must be finished, and we
did finish 1t by the 10Th Of Decem-
Der by almost superhuman work.
Now | ask you Mr.. Editor, if
you don't think it is but right and
fair that you should insert this
cardjn your paper and give me
credit for having been most per-
sistent Ia trying to get this report
made. also went to Washing
ton when the report was filed, and
have succeeded in getting the de-
partment to make 1t special and
hurry up its investigation of the
report for its final action. | have
no objection to being condemned
when | merit il, but il does seem
to me that your editorial was en-
tirely uncallcd for in view of these
facts.
Now as 10 Mr.. Dickson, / have
had nothing TO do with him, and
when left Washington the 21st,
no one had been named as pay
master Of this fund. Hence |
think your invitation to keep an
eye on me was also uncalled for.
submit these facts to you,
leaving it to you to do me justice
or not as you think best. All l
have asked of the department is
that this money be paid promptly,
and don't care who pays it, so il
is done. Yours truly,
r. II. KERN.
The above statement from Mr..
Kern seems to be ample in so far
as delay in making the report is
concerned, and we hasten to with
draw any statements that have APP
peared in THE CHIEFTAIN deroga-
tory to the gentleman in this par
ticular. The fact that Mr.. Kern
was acting in the capacity of at
torney and commissioner fer the
Cherokee freedmen at one and the
same time was, to say the very
least of it, a little remarkable.
Moreover, the conduct of Col.
Dickson in making the long drawn.
out Shawnee payment was so un-
usual and so irregular as TO arouse
suspicion, especially when he
(Dickson) gave it out here that
he had already been selected to
disburse the freedmen money,
All this, added 10 the circumstance
of Col. Dickson exhibiting a letter
on the streets Of town from David
r. Francis, secretary Of the Inter.
ior, in which he was instructed tc
"make the payment to suit him.
self and let the people go tC
HI" would be sufficient tc
arouse suspicion of collision. II
will be seen there were abundant
grounds for suspicion. However,
we regret to have coupled Mr.
KeIns' name with a matter ot
which he seems to be innocent.
In this connection it may be APP
propriately stated that The CHIEF.
TAIN denounced agent Dickson and
bis methods on general principles
and from facts at hand, and from
observations. Dickson ought to
be "fired" and a better man put
in his place. This is the English
of il.

BRITISH SCHOONER WRECKED.
And BIts Crew:are on Their Way to Port
landsfrom Rockland.

A telegram WAS received from the ,i1pu.
ty collector of customs at JOnesport yes
terday morning by Mr.. j. B. Heating,
British vice-cousul, stating that the crew
of the British schooner George and
Everett were at that port and asking
what should be done with them. The
telegram gave no particulars of the
wreck. MIR. Renting telegraphed to have
the crew sent to this city at once. They
will leave Jonesport on the steamer
Frank Jones today for Rockland, from
whence they will come to Portland by
rail. The wrecked schooner was built
at Newcastle, N. b.. in 1890, and was
owned by George W. Green of that place.
Her burden is registered at 81 tons. The
crew of the schooner will probably reach
here tomorrow.
A later despatch from Jonesport says
that the British schooner George and
Everett for Boston, previously reported
ashore IN Steel island and supposed to
be total loss, has been foated and is
now at anchor in the harbor here. A
survey will be made Friday when an es
innate of the repairs will be made.

Charles s. Anderson, q conductor on the
| Spring street line of the Portland Street
Railroad, narrowly escaped being severe
ly injured ON the last trip of his car last
night. Anderson's car left the Post office
at 1910 O'Clock for Spring street, but
when 1t reached the switch at the head
TO Middle street, instead Of taking the
track around by the United States hotel,
as it should have done, 1T continued on
the straight track towards the Preble
house. The motor man saw that his
car was on the wrong track and at a
signal from Anderson, com menoed to run
the car back over the switch. In doing
90 the trolley slipped of the wire and
Anderson, grasping the trolley rope,
jumped of the rear platform, and stand
ing on the track behind the car, endsav-
.ored to replace the trolley on the wire.
There is very strong spring on the top
of all cars to keep the trolley In position
on the wire and Anderson in trying to
put the wheel back on the wire had
to use his whole strength and weight to
pull down the trolley arm. While pull
ing downward on the trolley in this way,
the rope broke and Anderson foil back
ward, striking his head on the pavement
between the rails. There is quite down
grade at the head of Middle street, and
the car, only a few feet from An
derson when he fell, continued to run
back towards the PROSTATE conductor at
quite fast rate. Anderson was evident
~ stunned by the fall and the car wheels
would have surely have passed over the
mans body had not some of the passers-
by and passengers on the car seen the
conductors danger, and yelled to the
motor man to stop the car. The motor
man ground down the brakes for all he
was worth and brought the car TO a
standsti1l not an instant too soon, for
Anderson was lying under the tail end
of the gar, still unconscious, with his
legs only few inches from the cruel
wheels. The whole transaction did not
occupy two minutes of time but in that
two minutes Anderson had very close
shave..from death or terrible injury.
The unconscious conductor was picked
up by the passengers Of his car and car
ried inside and the car then continued
ON its way. Anderson shortly recovered
and IL but little the worse for his narrow
escape and bad fall.

GRAN o TRUNK AND STEAMERS.
The Merrimac Sails with One of the Big
gest Cargos Ever Taken Out of Portland.

The steamer Vancouver Of the
Dominion line did not sail from Liverpool
until almost midnight on Monday and
consequently will not arrive at this
port much before December 1a
The steamer Merrimac of the Domin-
ion Glider Dempster line)sailed for Bris-
toll at shortly after II O'Clock yesterday
morning. She carried large cargo,
about 5000 tons In all, including "a head
of cattle and 66,a87 bushels Of grain. Her
cargo as one Of the.largest over taken out
of this port By any vessel That portion
of the cargo which came from the Unit
ed States consisted of 2. 9o6. 400 pounds
of -four, 100, 1870 pounds peas, 252S cases
canned meats, 5l3 boxes provisions, 1000
sacks bran, As, $50 pounds cheese, 1880
bushels wheat, 49, 96S bushels corn, II. 800
bushels peas, 2O,0el pounds bacon, 140
barrels apples, $40 kegs butter, "a barrels
dross, 80. 900 pounds beans.
The Merrimac Is one of the largest YES
sells in the freight trade that has ever
come to Portland. She has almost too
great a capacity and at present low
freight rates could not procure q large
enough cargo to make the voyage pay
ing one. She probably will not be seen
here again this winter.
The steamer Manitoba, Capt Steward,
sailed last Friday for Portland, and on
Saturday the steamer Lake Winnipeg
sailed form Liverpool for this port.
This 10 ho ucuana1IV hUQY
season for tho shipment OF cattle from
this port by the various lines, and the
$40, 600 stock yards out in East Deering
will prove of great benefit in simplify ing
the method of shipping. Late yesterday
afternoon the Hibernian sailed with 800
head of cattle for Glasgow. The Merri-
mac, which sailed yesterday, had but "a
head on board, bound for Bristol.
The reason for this small consignment
was that she had all the merchandise she
could carry and of course that 10 more
profitable than to take cattle, the rates
being low on the latter at this time of the
year.
The Iona, which is expected to go out
Friday will be banner live stock carry
ing ship. She will carry 466 head Of cat
tie, 1859 sheep and 100 horses, the greater
part of which are now out at the new
stock yard living on the fat of the land.
1. e., Uncle Sans bounty, distributed
by Inspector Huntington.
Thus it will be seen at the end Of this
week there will be shipped 1900 head of
live stock and the business In that line
is nowhere near its usual run.
The shipment of cattle from st. John,
an innovation this year is very brisk.
One firm this week will ssship 475 north
western ranch cattle to Liverpool in the
Lake Huron. The cattle arrived at that
port Wednesday in 81 cars. The firm
will ship a great many more cattle
through st. John this year than they did
last. From May last until November
81. Mr.. Roffey looked after the shipping
of $4,000 cattle and 20, 600 sheep from
Montreal. The Concordia, which is 60
ing to Glasgow, will take S003 cattle for
Messra Aikens, Smell and Mcintosh.
Thus it can be seen that Portland ships
many mora cattle than are shipped from
st. John.
