WARREN SCOTT PROCTOR.
December 8, 1898.

Among those who will never come back
from the i'll .fated Portland, was Warren
Scott Proctor of South Portland. He
went to Boston fer day only, it seems
almost on the impulse OF the moment, as
he did not mention the matter to his sis
tiers at whose home he was ON Thanks
giving Day.
Scott Proctor, as he was Familiarity
known was modest, pleasant and kind
~ man. With an acquaintance since his
boyhood nevsr heard one unkind word
said OF him. He was one Of those men
who went through life without friction.
He won our regards and respect and kept
them. His age was fifty years and he
never married.
Mr.. Proctor was the son of Edmund
Merrill and Sarah D. (Page) Proctor,
and was born at Windham Centre, Au-
gust ~, 1s4s. His. father died in 1865
He had five living sisters, one each in
Biddeford, Wells and Pawtucket. r. l.,
and two in this city, who have the SYM
patby of the people of Windham, and
wherever Scott has lived. His grandpar-
ents were Etenezer and Bethia (Mayber-
ry) Proctor; she daughter of Thomas
Mayberry, senior, of Windham. his
great GRANDPA her was soldier OF the
Revolution. The first of the name here
was Samuel Proctor. born in 1850, who
came to Portland about IT'S, from what
is now Danyers, Mass, and built q pot.
terry about where the Office Of the P3rt.
land Packing Co. now is at the foot OF
York street and lived on Fore street,
| near Market. He, with others. built q
mill ION the stream which runs
| into the Presumpsoot river, at Pride's
bridge, which, in those early times,
was called "Proctor's Mill Stream. His
| wife was Sarah Bracket, daughter of
| Capt Anthony Brackett who was killed
in Church's terrible Indian battle, on the
Deeriug farm in 1859. Anthony Bracket
wife vas Anne Milton, the daughter Of
Michael Milton, heroic woman in hei
time, and granddaughter of Geurge

! Samuel Proctor was the son of John
Proctor, who was a man of herculear
mould and great force of character, who
lost his life in 1892, in his heroic endeav
or to stem the sfanaticism of the Salem
witchcraft delusion, and his mother wal
condemned but not executed. Ths
lg-andfather was also named John Proc
tor, and was the emigrant. He came
from London to Ipswich, Mass, i'll 1886
and finally settled in Salem, Mass.

REFUSED HIM CITY HALL.
Pubic Buildings Committee Prohibits
Polo at That Building.

At meeting of the. committee on pub.
lie buildings held Saturday afternoon,
with all the members present, the follow
ing vote was passed:
Voted, That the committee on public
buildings after thorough inspection OF
he floor at the Auditorium, and noting
the damage done to it by the roller polo
game played there SO far this year, re-
consider the vote Of October whereby
Mr.. W. W. Burnham was granted the
use of City hall for two nights week
from November IL, 1893 to March Is,
1899, but that he be granted the use of the
Auditorium instead for the same time
and on the same conditions.
This action of the public buildings COM
nittee will prove great disappointment
to many lovers of polo In Portland and
means a consi derable loss finanoiallySto
Mr.. WV. Burnham, the owner and man
aeer of the Portland team. Before ths
polo season opened in Maine Mr.. Burn
ham urged the public buildings COM
mittee to allow him the usesof City hall
for polo. At that time the committee
was very much opposedsto granting him
fine hall and early in the summer had
voted that he should not have it. Those
interested in polo in Portland petitioned
the committee to grant Mr.. Burnham the
hall. as the action of thespublic buildings
committee threatened to prohibit polo in
this city. Something like 1900 people
signed this petition and the committee at
once voted to give Mr.. Burnham the hall
for the game. With the understanding
that he was to have City hall as soon as
the new floor was completed Mr.. Burn
ham began polo in Portland. He booked
his dates for City hall and commenced to
play temporarily in the Auditorium,
Mr. Burnham. will ask the city govern
ment tonight to grant him city hall.
