A PROBLEM IN DRAINAGE.
Which Portland and Deering Boards of
Public Works Have to Solve.

The committee of public works of
Deering and the city engineer of that city
met last evening in the mayors Office
city building, with Portland's mayor
board of public works and engineer.
The purpose of the conference was to
come to some agreement with the city of
Deering about drawing certain localities
in this city. 1t seems that Portland has
large area of land west of Grove street
which is being rapidly built up but for
which the city of Portland is unable to
provide suitable sewerage owing to the
formation of the land and the position in
which it lies. In order to suitably drain
this portion of the city it will be neces-
sary for Portland to either construct
sewers in the city of Deering or to take
advantage of the sewers of Dcering
already constructed or about to be built.
Fortunately for Portland the city of
Deering is exactly in the same predica-
ment. There are certain localities in
Deering which that city canro provide
sewerage for unless the Portland sewers
are entered and taken advantage of. The
purpose oI Une coH1efeHce ldSb evening
was to come to some agreement about the
matter and though no decision was
reached last night it is safe to say that
some amicable arrangement will be made
SO that both cities will be accommodated
and benefited with out great cost to either
of them.
The committee of the two cities will
meet again this afternoon and will prob
ably come to some definite understand
ing.

The Lynn Company Will Probably Be
the Guest of Portland on That Day.
How the Trades Parade is Growing and
What the Mayor Thinks of the Mardi
Gras Floats.
1t now looks as if the Fourth of July
celebration to the held in Portland July
fifth would surpass even the greatest ex-
pectations Of the committee which has
the matter in charge. Additional fea-
lures for this celebration are constantly
being proposed and each and every one
of them as soon as they are suggested are
readily adopted by the committee.
The latest attraction which Portland
is to offer the public on this day of days
was brought about yesterday through the
efforts of Mr.. Lewis A. Goudy, who is
taking great interest in this celebration
and is giving the city government COM
mittee the best kind of support. Mr..
Cloudy yesterday introduced to Alderman
Ilsley, the chairman Of the committee on
the celebration, Lieutenant M. Won
Loseecke of Company E of the Massa
chusetts Naval Brigade of Lynn. This
gentleman stated that his company
which is one of the crack organizations
of Massachusetts, and is composed of
some of the best young men of Lynn, was
willing to come to Portland on July
Fourth and give the citizens of this city
an opportunity of seeing many unique
drills and exhibitions
The company which is fifty strong is
to come to this city armed and equipped
both as infantry and artillery. The COM
mand will parade in the morning as
artillery and in their handsome uniforms
and novel equipment will doubtless make
great hit in this city.
In the afternoon the company will give
an exhibition, artillery and infantry
drill on thelWestern promenade They
will illustrate the light battery drill as
practiced in the navy and afterwards a
picked squad of ten will execute some
highly interesting military, manoeuvres.
Afterwards the company will show how
to scale wall and go through many
other interesting drills.
The committee ON the celebration Twill
hold another meeting tonight and I'M
doubtedly will extend an invitation to
the Lynn division of the naval brigade to
come to this city as Portland's guests.
Mayor Randall and City Engineer
Fernald were in Boston the other day and
visited the Charleston navy yard, where
they saw the Mardi Gras floats which
Portland hopes to secure for the July
ivth parade. The Mayor expresses him
self as being highly pleased with these
floats which he describes as being very
beautiful and the finest things of the kind
that he has ever seen.
The citizens committee which is rails
ing the money by popular subscription to
bring these floats to Portland, is meeting
with great success and many of the
tradesmen are signifying their intention
of putting floats and barges into the
trades procession and making it the finest
and largest that Portland has ever seen.
They realize that the eyes of Maine are
now directed upon this city and tn at
Portland must not disappoint the thous-
ands who will flock here on July fourth
to enjoy our big celebration.

book snatching which occurred yesterday
In broad daylight. This species OF crime
districts of the city, and a number OF
highway robberies of tins kind have been
reported within the past few weeks.
In every case the victims have been
delicate women, and tie thieves burly
negroes, who have relied OA the sudden

the PostOffice Department, was walking
along @ street, near sixteenth street. She

at Mfrs. Hurts pocketbOok which she held
in her hand. Finding that he could not
force the lady g. let go OF her money, the
boy delt her a vicious blow over the heart,
