woMEN,s INDIAN MEETING.

The monthly meeting Of the Woman
Maine Indian association was held in the
vestry of the State street church yester-
day afternoon, the president, Mrs. M. e.
Frye, in the chair. After the usual
routine business, letters were read from
Oklahoma territory, acknowledging the
boxes and barrels sent out by this society
before Christmas, saying this was the
first tina anything was sent, especially to
the missionaries, and it brought forth
their special joy and gratitude
The mission supported by this society
is a real success, and the life of the
missionaries there are serving as object
lessons to the Indians in their locality
who come every day to see them,s four or
five at time. The house plants delight
them, and they ask many questions about
Them Christmas tree, and dinner was
given them and brought together seventy
five Indians and thirty-five dogs. They
have never had school there and the
work is wholly pioneer. Some drawing
Of Little Jim and pieces of patchwork of
his wife were well executed if you judge
by the advantages they have had The
meeting was very satisfactory and full of
encouragement to the association. And
now, we want to establish school, then
a chapel and we hope hint to the gener-
Gus is sufficient.

SAD STORM FOR BELFAST.

Belfast, February 6.-The news that has
come from Gloucester, Mass, since the
great storm ssof last week, tells of. disas
tiers in which Belfast is involved to 6
greater extent than she has been in any
such way in the past 30 years.
At least seyen of the men lost by tbs
wrecking of vessels off Cape Ann, be.
longed here.
On the schooner James Holmes which
was wrecked Monday night, January 81,
were Capt. Frank Ryan and sailors Al
fred Staples, John Jackson, Everett Pat
terson and Frank Gordon, all of Belfast.
1t is also reported that there were one
or two Belfast young men in addition
to the regular crew working their pas
sage from Boston, but this has not been
verified.
The Holmes ran as packet between
Belfast and Boston. The regular cap
tain, Geo. F. Ryan, remained at home
over this trip, and his only son was In
command.
On board the schooner Marcellus was
Capt. A. A. I.arrabee of Searsport, and
among the crew was George Richards OF
Belfast, and also it is thought as pas
senger, George Bean of East Belfast.
The description of one of the bodies found
answers that of Bean.
With the exception of Staples, all of the
sailors were married and had families.

CRITICISM WAS UNJUST.

Manager E. P. Sargent. Jr., of the
Portland Sanitary company, stated to a
PRESS reporter last night that theTcriti-
cism which has been made in other local
papers of the moving of the heavy safe
from the Boston & Maine bulkhead to
the Canal bank. was very unjust. The
Sanitary company foundEthatIthes streets
were in such poor condition for hauling
a heavy safe for such 8 long distance
that it was decided to place it on a
truck and this truck was hauled along the
lines Of the Portland & Cape Elizabeth
and Portland street RAILROADS, to the
Canal bank. Both of the railroads were
paid for their services as weregall the
men employed by the Sanitary company
on the work. The safe was handled by
the regular men of the Sanitary company
and the bank officials expressed them
selves as well satisfied with the work.
The statements made in other local papers
in relation to the contract price Mr..
Sargent states are absolutely false.

CURRENT POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Councilman johnson Not Candidate For
Reaom !nation.

The political situation has not changed
very much during the past few weeks
In Ward the canvass for the nomina
ton as alderman is being carried on with
great activity. Councilman Theodore
III. johnson who has served his ward II
the lower board for the past two years in
a very able manner is not candidate
for denomination as councilman. He was
mentioned as q possible candidate, but
he states to the PRESS that he has nc
| intention OF running for third term and
that the announcement of his candidacy
was made without his knowledge or
consent. There is bound TO be warm
contest in seven for the places on the
council ticket, but it is announced oil
good authority that there will be no
combination tickets in the field. Every
candidate whether he desires to be nomi-
mated for alderman or councilman will
stand or fall alone. None of the council
candidates are supporting or endorsing
any of the candidates for alderman.
In Ward the cloud which for time
seemed to threaten the chances of Coun-
Gilman Rufus Lamson, has blown away
and there is now no manifest opposition
to him.
In Ward the candidates for the lower
board are anxiously waiting to see which
way Gar Rounds is going to jump. No
one has the courage to face the big alder
man from Ward in caucus and there
will probably be no candidate against
him on caucus night. His support given
to any of the candidates, SO the Ward 8
politicians say, will decide who those
candidates are to be. But Alderman
Rounds has SO far taken no part in the
fight for the council nominations and in
vain have the wire puilers tried to in
duce him to commit himself. There is
bound to be more fun to the square inch
in Ward ward room on the night Of the
Republican caucus than there has been
in that ward for many years.
1t is understood that many OF the most
prominent Democrats in Portland are
doing their best to pull Darius r., Ingra-
ham out of the race for the Democratic
nomination as candidate for mayor.
These Democratssswho are hostile to Mr..
Ingraham want to see a Democratic ad-
ministration in City hall next year, but
they know they will not have ghost of
show with ex-Mayor Ingraham at the
head of the ticket. But in spitesof all
this, Mr. Ingraham will head the Demo
cratic ticket at the next municipal cleo

Portland, Me-, February 8, 1898.

Portland, Me-, February 8, 1898.
To Ira S. Locke, B. NJ. Eastman, F. H.
Thompson, S. A. Packard, and others:
Gentlemen:-I am in receipt of re-
quest, signed by two hundred and four
teen Republican votes of Deering, asking
that permit the use of my name before
the caucuses as candidate for Mayor at
the coming election. This request from
so many of our best citizens, made with
ont any suggestion upon my part, is a
very high compliment and must frank
ly declare is a compliment not deserved
by me- In reply will say: I am not
willing to antagonize any other candi
date, nor to seem to cast reflection upon
any person. I wish to see harmony and
good feeling in the party and in city
affairs. If, therefore, upon this state
mens. the Republicans of Deering at their
caucuses, see fit to adopt the action pro-
posed by you, shall not feel at liberty to
decline.
wish to add that if it shall be thought
best to nominate some other person, /
shall be glad to give to such nominee my
hearty and cordial support.
[ am, gentlemen, with assurance of
high appreciation and esteem,
Very truly yours,
AUG. f. MOUTLON.
