THE RUSSELL CHILDREN.
They Have Been Taken in Hand by Chart
table People.

The Russell children. whose mother was
recently arrested for drunkenness and
cruelty beating her chill dren, have been
given homes by charita BILE societies in
the city. The Samaritans took the cas- Q
in hand. One of the ladies who visited
the place said that the lowest s1ums of
New York could not be in worse condit-
ion. The utter squalidness of the place
was almost beyond description. Such a
thing as bedding was an unknown guam
tity. The mattresses and pillows lay in
a corner and were without coverings
and as black as door mat. The whole
place was alive with vermin.
The ladies having the case in charge
took the children to the day nursery
where they were given warm baths, and
dressed in new, clean clothes. The Two
girls were then sent to Belfast to the
Home for Friendless Girls, through the
kindness of the Children's Aid Society
The boy was placed by the Little Samari-
tans' Association in the Home for Friend
less Boys in Deering.
The father OF the unfortunate family,
who is addicted to drink, shipped last
week on board sailing vessel, accom-
panied by faithful dog.
The woman WAS bailed out Of Jail by
some friend. but her whereabouts are
not known.

Tried to Save Him.

Island. Ex-Alderman Duddy's and Mr..
James B. O'Brien's families have sum.
mer cottages on the back side of the
island, near the Rookbound Park house.
as do number of other summer resi-
dents.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. John B.
O'Brien, son of Mr.. James T. O'Brien,
who is the well known shoesdsaler at a27
Congress street was rowing in punt
near the shore in the little . bay that
makes near the cottages. He took a
young lady out for row and when they
returned young Eddie buddy, who is
about 10 years old took the place of the
young lady and O'Brien and buddy went
ont into the bay again. Members of the
families were on the shore and saw what
was going on.
1t appears that Eddie saw a lobster and
made lunge to secure 1t. The effort he
made oapsized the boat throwing both
lads out into the water. Eddie couldn't
swim but John could and John made a
dash for Eddie and got hold of him.
Grasping the boy firmly but in such a
manner that in his struggles he could not
embarrass the swimmer, O'Brien started
with him for the shore not far away.
was seized with cramp. Recognizing
the danger to both he threw Eddie from
him towards the shore az far as he could
and gave a cry.
Mr.. buddy who was on the beach with
his son David and Walter O'Brien,
swan to the rescue. David was the first
to reach Eddie and he swan with him
| some Distance and was getting exhausted.
Walter O'Brien and Mr.. buddy had been
searching for John O'Brien. Mr.. buddy
finding the other lads getting exhausted
land John O'Brien had evidently sank
like stone after the cramp attacked
him. Word was semitic the city and MI.
MoDonough the undertaken went down
with graphing irons to try and recover
the body.
Young O'Brien who was drowned was
clerk for his father. He was very steady
attentive young lad and was very much
liked and esteemed by all his acquaint-
anoes. He was very affeotionate brother
and his loss will be sad blow to them.
He was about 20 years of age. sESs s..
Young buddy, who was reasoned, tells
the story little different from the above
statement as to the manner of the &C.
| oident. He says he leaned out of the punt
to grasp the rope attached to a lobster
pot, lost his balance and went overheard.
Ihe punt did not oapsize, but 'Brien
pulled off his coat and jumped in after
| buddy. II he had stayed in the boat
he possibly might have got buddy in
and both lives have been saved. Young
O'Brien was a member of tie Catholic
| Total Abstinence Society.
The graphing for the body proved I'M
| successful last night and work will BIZ
continued this morning.

PORTLAND SUED
BY City of Deering for Unpaid Taxes

The city of Deering has begun suit
against the city of Portland for the non
payment of taxes and the case will soon
come to trial.
Some time ago Portland bought large
track of unimproved real estate lying
beyond Evergreen cemetery. intending
eventually to incorporate this land with
the cemetery itself. Cemeteries are ex.
empt from taxation and Portland regard.
ed this land which she had purchased
for the cemetery as part of the cemetery
and refused to pay taxes upon it to Deer
ing who looked upon it AS taxable prom
erty. Portland served an Injunction
against the collector of Desring to re-.
strait him from collecting the taxes on
this land and law suit is the result.
The amount at issue is not very large
and the law suit will probably cost more
than the whole bill Of taxes.
