ing resolutions appertaining to the resig-
nation of Rev. T. S. Sampson. read from
the desk on Sunday last and before
the church:
Resolved. That this church listened to
the letter of its pastor, Rev. I. S. Samp-
son, rendering a resignation of his charge,
W 18th profound regret.
We recognize in Him an able preacher,
faithful and affectionate "bishop of the
flock, a citizen widely esteemed, genial
man, and an accomplished gentleman.
For his family we cherish high re-
gard, both for the intelligence and refine
ment of its mem bership and for It's mani
fold usefulness in the cause for which
this church was established.
1t is therefore with great reluctance,
that we are compelled to part with MIN
and them (since his resignation Is under
stood to express his deliberate Wlsn) put
in accepting it, we tender him our
thanks for his eminent usefulness In all
the walks of his ministerial Office, for his
warm devotion to every good cause, and
express the hope that whatsoever field of
labor he may henceforth be called to oc-
cupy, he and his beloved family may en-.
Joy the continued sushine OF success and
abundant happiness and prosperity.
Resolved, That we direct this testi-
monial to be entered on record, and that
the affirmative action of the church in
the premises be communicated to the
Free Street Baptist society, with a re-
spectful request that the same be con-
CURED in by that associate body, and
that copy thereof be transmitted to our
pastor
After appropriate and excellent remarks
by Judge Bonney, the resolutions were
passed unanimously.

CITY GOVERNMENT.
Special Meeting of Board of Mayor and
Aldermen.

There was special meeting Of the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen called at
four O'Clock yesterday afternoon to con.
slider the case of a person it was thought
desirable to send to the Insane Asylum at
| Augusta.
The full board was present, Mayor
| Randall in the chair. After it was voted
to send the person to the asylum, Alder
man Rounds had a word to say. He
made motion that in these cases where
money is paid by the friends of patients
to the city, and then sent to the asylum
authorities, for their board and treat
ment that this money shall be collected
by the city treasurer, and not as now. by
the secretary of the overseers of the poor,
Mr.. Charles H. Baker. Mr.. Rounds
claimed that this law made it obligatory
on the city treasurer to do all the collect
ing, and that if the secretary of the over
seers should fail to collect, the city had
no redress, as he is not under bonds
while the city treasurer is.
At the suggestion of Alderman Kehoe
the city treasurer was called in to explain
Mr.. Libby said that he paid out money
on bills after they were properly vouched
for by the committee ON accounts. He
produced a bill, the last one sent down
by the officers of the insane asylum, and
the accounts against each patient from
Portland appeared to be included all
right in the accounts, but, as Treasurer
Libby said, he didn't pay these bills until
| they were properly audited.
| Alderman Rounds commended that the
system as now prevailing, was irregular.
He didn't make any charge against Mr..
| Baker, but he insisted that no employe of
the city had right to collect moneys ex-
cept the collector and treasurer.
| Mr. Libby said that there were other
employees who did collect and hand over
the money they received. There was the
city clerk, the city marshal and others.
| Mr.. Rounds said: How about the
street department."
Mr.. Libby said he believed some money
was collected there and paid in.
| Mr. Rounds said he thought that pro-
cedure had been stopped in that depart
| ment.
Mr.. Libby said that possibly there had
been no money collected in that depart
| ment for some time past.
| Aldermen Mcdonald and Moore and
Leighton were inclined to think that no
| law was being violated by the present
| method.
AS Secretary Baker was out of the city
and could hot be heard in this matter it
was voted to refer the motion to the city
solicitor with orders to report as to tbs
| legality of Secretary Bakers collection
and to report at the next regular meeting.
These other papers Were disposed of.
| Petitions were presented for permission
to erect wooden building at No. III
Kennebec street to be two storied IS feet
wide and forty feet long, to be used as a
stable by Portland Water company.
Also petition for permission to repair
building No. 80 Pleasant street to be three
storied, 80 feet long, and Is feet wide, to
be used as a dwelling by George E. West.
both petitions were referred to the
committee on new buildings.

HARBoR NOTES.
Items of Interest Picked Up Along the
Wharves.


The International Steamship company
announces that on and after Monday, No
vember 18th, steamers will leave Portland
for Lubec, PASSPORT and ST. John on
Monday and Thursday at five O'Clock.
The Hermann Ressing arrived yesterday
with cargo of $500 Holsters for N. f.
Trefenthen.
The towboat Cornelia Is on the railway
being repaired. The pilot boat Maggie
has been thoroughly overhauled and is
now ready. for the seasons business.
Tho fish arrivals yesterday were the
schooners Nellie M. Davis, J. S. Glover
and Lila B. Fernald.
One of the largest of the ocean tugs
that comes here, the Tanaqua, arrived
yesterday morningatowing the coal barges
kohinoor and Shenandoah, the former for
Randall & McAllister and the latter for
the A. r. Wright company.
The season for scallops is now close at
hand and the little steamer Elsie started
out yesterday morning in quest of them.
She has been fishing for a week past near
Fort Gorges and secured few which sold
rapidly at three cents apiece. net line
arrangement is lowered to the bottom and
dragged along for short distance and
the scallops scraped up in this manner.
They are scarce just at present and
bring good prices.
The schooner Sadie and Lille arrived
from Boston with partial cargo and
went to the elevator to complete it with
corn.
The dredge is busiiy engaged in dredg-
ing out the docks and will probably have
them in good shape by the latter part of
the week.
The Percy V. sailed on her eastern
route at ten O'Clock yesterday forenoon.
The schooner Thomas B. Garland has
arrived with cargo OF piling for the
Grand Trunk wharf extension and the
work will now proceed rapidly.
Mr.. j. E. Quick of Toronto, Ont,
general baggage agent of the Grand
Trunk was in the city yesterday, and he
anticipates very busy season. 1t is
quite likely that Canadian customs
official will be stationed in the city this
winter and the inconvenience to which
passengers bound to Canadian points have
hitherto been subjected will be done away
with. Formerly passengers bound to
Canada were obliged to have their bag
gage examined here and again at Island
Pond by Canadian officials. With a
Dominion officer right here their baggage
would be checked through to their desti-
nation without the bother of another ex-
animation at Island Pond.
Twenty seven steamers are scheduled to
sail from here up to January 10, and
among this number will be some new
ones to Portland. There are now three
boats on the way to this port direct. They
are the Vancouver Corona and Merrimac.
The Vancouver will probably be here
Saturday or Sunday, possibly before and
the others will soon follow.
