WATER FRONT.

The three-masted schooner e. S. Potter
is discharging coal at Portland pier for
the Harpswell Steamboat company.
A pile driver directed its efforts to pile
pulling yesterday in the dock between
franklin and Calf wharyes. Long years
ago when the old marine railway used to
be in this locality narrow pier extend
ed out into what is now this deck. When
this pier was torn down, instead of pull
ing up the piling, it was sawed off. The
dock has filled in until the tops of the
old piles stick up from the bottom about
two feet and extend in line nearly
one third the length of the dock. At low
tide severalj vessels have struck them and
only through good fortune escaped punch
ing holes in their bottoms. The piles
are hard to locate, but several were
pulled up yesterday.
The steamer Frank Jones arrived yes
terday morning with big cargo and a
good-sized passenger list. On the way
here she passed off Cranberry island,
near Millbridge, a. large schooner with.all
sails set, but which was drifting about
and which had been abandoned. The
schooner had large load Of furniture
on board.
Inspectors Pollister and Merritt looked
over the Island Belle Monday. She is in
fine condition,and all ready to go on Wed
nesday. A trial trip was made Monday
afternoon down around Cow island,
touching at Peaks and back to the city.
The ST. John boats, or international
line steamers, have.gone on their summer
time table, now making three trips a
week. A boat will leave Boston touching
at Portland Mondays, Wednesdays and
Fridays and one will leave st. John for
Boston, touching at Portland Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays.
Herbert Startling will act as engineer
on the Island Belle this season.
The little lobster steamer Eva and Mil
dred arrived yesterday with 1000 live lob
sters for E. L. Boothby & Co.

ROOF WAS ON FIRE.

At about twenty minutes to five O'Clock
yesterday afternoon an alarm was sound
ed from box SO at the corner of Salem
and School streets. The fire was on the
roof Of a double tenement in the rear of
90 Salem street owned by Timothy Roman
and occupied on the side of the building
where the most damage was done by Mrs.
Charles McSweigan. The blaze was con-
fined to the roof and it was undoubtedly
caused by spark from the chimney. The
damage to the building was slight and
Mrs. McSweigan's loss from water was
very small also. The woman had no in
surance on her furniture but the house
was insured.
Deputy Marshal Sterling responded to
the fire in the patrol wagon. This wagon
weighs 1850 pounds and is hauled by one
horse. 1t is very heavy and clumsy We
hicle and is not at all suitable to the
needs of the police dep artment for quick
response to emergency calls A lighter
and smaller wagon capable of carrying
four men would be in line with the re-
quirements of the police department and
undoubtedly such wagon will be added
to the equipment very soon.

A sHELTERlNG HOME
Lodging House and Labor Bureau OF the
Salvation Army.

ENSIGN Carey of the Salvation Army
has received instructions from headquar.
ters to establish in Portland within forty
five davs a shelter for the use of the
nnfortnnates who desire to reform. These
shelters are established in many cities.
1t is the purpose of the ensign to secure
a building in a good location, say near
Gorham's corner, and have the rooms
neatly fitted up, and bath rooms provided.
This will not be shelter for tramps or
for criminals, but for men who.desire to
reform and are willing to work. When
taken in they will be given good bath.
and plain, but course clothes, and good
clean bed and meals. In exchange thew
will be given work to do and BY this
means the idea of charity will be re-
moved.
The Labor Bureau in connection with
the house will be used to secure employ
1nent for the worthy men at the shelter.
If two or three men are wanted to I'M
load lumber, for instance, tho Bureau
will furnish them. So the bureau will be-
come responsible place to secure good
reliable men.
These shelters have become great insti-
buttons elsewhere and are supported by
the aid Of the liberal citizens of the cities
where they are located.

CITY GOVERN MENT.
Special Meeting of Board of Mayor and
Aldermen.

A special meeting of the board of mayor
and aldermen was held yesterday after
noon the mayor presiding
All members present.
The meeting was called Oh request OF
the Consolidated Electric Light company
for permission to erect 81 poles on East
ern Promenade, and one round cedar pole
| southeasterly side of Casco and Cumber-
land streets, subject to the approval OF
the city electrician. This request when
presented at the last meeting was referred
to special committee of which Alder
man Rounds is chairman. The chairman
reported the petition should be granted
subject to the approval of the committee.
Superintendent Raymond said the
company intended to put in good straight
cedar poles
Alderman Rounds said that he should
also say that the poles must be satisfac-
tory to the city electrician az we'll as the
committee.
Mr.. Raymond said that the law now
requires that any pole that is not satisfae-
tory can be removed by order of board of
mayor and aldermen.
Mr.. Rounds thought it was better not
to have the poles erected until the alder
men were satisfied and that would save
expense to the company If pole was not
satisfactory to the aldermen.
This order had passage:
Ordered-That the Consolidated Elec-
Uric Light company have permission to
erect 81 cedar poles on the easUerly side of
the Eastern Promenade. and one on
southerly side OF Casoo and Cumberland
streets; subject to satisfaction of city
electrician and the approval of the alder
men.

RAILROAD STATION AT OCEAN
PARK

The summer residents at Ocean Park
will be pleased to learn that the Boston
and Maine officials have decided to
build a handsome little station at that
place this summer. For a long time a
station has been needed there, the only
protection offered passengers being an old
shed, which was of little use. The new
building will be on the line of the Old
Orchard beach road, and on the
same side as the apology for a station
stood. The structure will be about
20x30, and will consist of waiting and
baggage room.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.I

THINKS CHILD WAS MURDERED.

Biddeford, May 10.-County Attorney
Willis L. Emmons OF Saco, who went to
Cape Neddick yesterday to hold an in
quest over the female infant that was
found dead in well in that hamlet few
days ago, is confident that the babe was
murdered. The autopsy clearly showed
that the infant was alive when born and
was unusually strong for it's age. 1t is
thought that the little one was alive
whensthrown into the well, as no marks
indicate that it was murdered previous
~ to being thrown into the water.
County Attorney Emmons is of the
opinion that the child was thrown into
thu well some time last fall He is of
the opinion that the mother of the child
must have lived somewhere in that sec.
tion as a stranger never would have
found the pit.

ADJUTANT GENERAL APPROVES

General John T. Richards, Maine adju-
tant general has informed gentleman
in this city who is interested in the reoog-
milton of the Portland naval militia that
he has endorsed the claims of the Port
land organization to man the monitor
Montauk when she resches Portland and
has written the secretary of the navy to
that effect. General Richards has been
in favor of the Portland naval militia be-
ing utilized from the first but has been
unable to do anything for it on account
of the statutes of the state. His endorse
ment of.the Portland organization will
undoubtedly have great weight with the
navy department and practically insures
the Montauk being manned by the Port
land naval reserves.
