the walks were fringed with enthusiastic
spectators. and the welcome extended the
command was indeed a warm one. flags
were waved and cheers rent the air.
At about 7.30 o. clock Battery E reached
the fort, swinging from the column,
while Battery D continued its march to
Port land Head. Squads were formed and
the baggage which had preceded the bat
terry was quickly placed on the barracks
which a few hours previous had been
vacated by tho withdrawing Battery Il OF
the second artillery. 1t had been lively
day at Fort Preble, for no sooner had
revelle been sounded than the work Oh
preparation for the departure of Battery
Il began. Company property was stored
away, knapsacks packed, kits were
polished up, and the necessary equipage
for camp life at the Head was loaded on
wagons and shipped to the sub post. At
the Head four wall tents, thirteen COM
mon tents and one hospital tent were
pitched during the day in anticipation of
the coming of this battery by the detach-
ment of % men. which for some time
have been stationed there.
Promptly at $50 o'clock in the after
noon the assembly was sounded and the
Fort Preble contingent of Battery E
formed to take Its departure from post
which it had garrisoned since May, 1889.
q They proceeded to their new station in
field marching order, guns side arms,
etc., their knapsacks additional smmuni-
ton, etc.. having been transported in
wagons.
A small guard was left behind to await
the arrival of the battery of the 18th, and
good supply of hot coffee, rolls and
corned beef for the new Corners.
Battery D, of the 7th Artillery reached
the Head about eight o'clock, and imme-
diately unloaded its wagons which had
preceded them and pitching their tents
went into camp.

THROWN FROM HER BICYCLE.

Miss Ada Cribby, the popular clerk III
the ferry office on Portland pier, met with
a serious accident yesterday morning.
she was riding her bicycle from her home
in South Portland to the ferry landing to
take the boat across. Being little late
she was riding quite fast and her wheel,
sstrik ing bad place in the road, threw
her forcihly to the ground. She struck
on her head and shoulders and when
taken to her home was unconscious. Miss
Grace Cummings took her place in the
ferry office.

First Lieutenant-.I. ID. Barrette.
Second Lieutenant-Andrew Moses.

The men were all in heavy marching
teens, haversacks, and rolled overcoats
and russell leggings. Lieut.. Langdon of
the Second Artillery. stationed at Port
land Head had come in to welcome the
Seventh, and Quartermaster Sergeant
Van Heuckroth of the Second was pre-
sent with teams to take the baggage over
to the fort.
After the batteries were formed and
handed over to their commanders the bat
talon marched to Dresser's cafe, at the
head of the wharf, for supper. 1t seems
that the men, through Quartermaster
Sergeant Van Heuckroth, made arrange
ments for supper there, instead of on
them - cents for ration and for 81
cents they were. provided withsa capital
meal of hot beefsteak and potatoes, cold
meats, beans, bread and butter, cake,
coffee and tea. The troops had to take
their supper in two detachments for the
rooms were not large enough to accom-
MEDIATE SO many at once.
The Sew enth left Fort Slocum at IL
o'clock, noon, Thursday, and were taken
by steamer down to New York, leaving
that city on thu John Englis at 5 p. m.
The men said they had delightful trip
and enjoyed it immensely. They have
come together from all parts of the Union.
The nucleus of each battery is composed
of seasoned. campaigners that belonged to
the old regiments, but the bulk of the
! men are recruits and some of them have
not yet received their rifles. But if one
| imagines that the men are raw recruits
they are much mistaken. Many Of them
have served before and ara finely disci-
plined. One Of the sergeants said that
he had come from California where he
had been on duty a good while.
By the roster Of the commissioned Off
GERS it will be seen that tn re is no first
lieu tenant in d battery or captain of e
battery. Lieut.. Wilcox, it is understood,
is on duty in the department in Wash
ington, and Capt. Williams is military
attache at Vienna. Capt. Harrison, who
is gentleman of most delightful man
ners. said that the orders appointing
Major Story to the command of the post
at Fort Preble and Portland Head had
been revoked. Capt. Rogers will continue
in the command of Fort Preble and
Capt. Harrison will have charge of Port
| land Head.
After the men had refreshed, the line
was reformed, but not before serious
| accident was narrowly averted. A Grand
Trunk freight train backed down the
wharf and, if it had not have been for
| the quick eye OF Capt. Harrison, would
have backed into the stacks Of guns and
lively time might have resulted. The
| line of march was taken down CONNER:
cial street and Portland Pier to the ferry
| boat, and thence to South Portland.
There the columns marched to Fort
Preble where Battery E was left, while
Battery kept on to Portland Head. The
| batteries will be recruited there to their
full strength of 200 men each

MORE wATER ZOE VIEW YORK.

New York is to have all the rum and
beer it needs under the new govern
ment, and an effort is also to be made
to supply it with more water The plan
is to take the water from the lakes in
the Adrondacks or near the border
The principal lakes included in the
plan are Pleasant, Round, Pisco, Indian,
Paradox, Schroon, Brant, Henderson,
and the Catlin chain of lakes. The
above named lakes offer fifty square
miles of area, and there are other
smaller lakes and sites where new res
ervoirs can be constructed of large
areas. Storage in the lakes at one
thousand feet altitude has the advan-
tage Of ten degrees in temperature
over the water of the lower valley. At
Albany. when the water is 70 degrees
Fahrenheit at four-foot depth of water,
in the upper lakes it is 81 degrees at
equal depth. The general course of the
conduit from the dam on the upper
Hudson would extend along the high
grounds on the east side Of the Hudson,
through Washington, Rensselaer,, Co.
lumbia, Duchess, Putnam, and West
chester counties in New York city and
across the river TO Brooklyn, with pipe
lines to supply Troy, Albany, Hudson,
Poughkeepsie, Peekskill, Yonkers, and
other places along the route.
This would cost only about SGT 900 900,
which would be nothing for Greater
New York. A bill embodying this plan
will be introduced in the legislature to-
morrow.

WRONG oHIo REpUBLrcANs.

All isn't fair in love, war or politics,
and most fair men in all parties will,
we think, be inclined to condemn the
antics of the Ohio Republicans who are
endeavoring to defeat Senator Hanna.
Not very long ago the State convention
which renominated Governor Bushnell
Endorsed Senator Hanna for election to
the seat he now occupies by appoint
ment. In this action Senator Foraker
participated, and this action the COVER
nor Endorsed. The country was told
that factional war was to end there
and then. Ohio Republicans were to
stand shoulder to shoulder in the good
work Of making the new Federal ad-
ministration a success. Now some of
them are repudiating the action of the
caucus and doing all they can to dis
credit and injure the administration.
1t isn't square and it isn't good poll
tics. Even If it succeeds it will not be
good politics. 1t is very doubtful If it
does succeed, notwithstanding the APP
parent "'victory'' yesterday. 1t certain
ly ought not to succeed.

Chicago is a tough city. There's no
mistake about that. Everybody says so
and everybody knows. But there are
some things in Chicago not quite as
tough as they have been. Mayor Harri-
son has dealt the short-haired pugilis-
tic fraternity in Chicago a Knockout
blow. An order has been issued per-
emptorlly ending the present era of
bruising contests. 1t has taken three
separate efforts to accomplish this. At
first Mayor Harrison restricted boxing
to reputable athletic clubs; but this
order was ineffective. Then he 'lim-
tied the contests to six rounds under
police protection" and this also failed
to sure the evil. The last order is The
straight prohibition of all forms Of box
ing contests.
Good for Mayor Harrison. Perhaps
by and by New Haven will catch up
with Chicago in this matter.

Sleeve puffs so large as a year ago
would have been called moderate are
not now seen. Nor Is the skin tight
sleeve worn except in transparent ma
terials for ball dresses, and then there
Is butterfly relief at the shoulder. That
relief Of fiuffiness comes at the shoulder
even when the arm below Is bare. In
the accompanying sketch this arrange
ment is seen. 1t was here made OF
three ruffies of the dress goods, which
was pale yellow crepe de chine made
over taffeta. The overskirt drapery
and the hem of the skirt proper were
edged with narrow silk embroidered

ed in front from bows Of turquoise vel

hanging from the belt, which was Of

The hustle looms into view again, this

or any other part of her be turned by
a hustle. A properly formed woman
does not need one, and she who Is not
properly shaped needs either to learn to
carry herself or to put ON hustle now
as much as ever. The idea now IS to
present the suggestion of good out
line gracefully draped. Any line that
seems artificial, bereft, caved in, slump
ed or slab-sided Is ugly, and according
to which you suffer from, take off or
put on the improvers.
