ORATORS IN TROUBLE.
Loud and Unusual Noises Made in Invit-
ing People to the Excursion Steamers.

There was some excitement on Com
mercial street yesterday, occasioned by
the rival orators employed to sound the
praises of the rival lines of steamboats,
running from Custom House wharf and
Portland Pier. About p. m. the orators,
dwelt upon the merits of their respective
lines with great vehemence. 'This way,
new captain, new crew, new paint, :"
shouted one. "Here's the way to the old
reliable line,'' shouted the other.
In the midst of it Deputy Hartnett de-
scended, like the Assyrian, and gobbling
up kthe two orators, carried them to the
station house, lodging against them the
charge of making loud and unusual
noise on the street.
Later the steamboat people secured the
release Of the men, and they went at their
business again, although with a subdued
mann er.
1t is probable that the two orators will
appear in. the. Municipal court this morn
ing to explain their efforts. Those who
saw and heard the performance said it
gave to Commercial street the air of a
great city. Such orators are extensively
employed in New York. Providence and
other cities to advertise rival excursion
lines.
