LONGsHoREMEN TO STAY AT HOME.
They Prefer Working Here to Going
to Charleston.


to CharIcstOn
1t is likely that the large number of
professional longshoremen who live in Sa-
vannah and have been going elsewhere to
work during the last few years will re-
main at home this season, provided they
can secure work here
1t was learned yesterday that President
John Carr of the Workingmen's Benevo-
lent Society had received letters from
stevedores at Charleston asking him to
sepd them fifteen gangs to work on the
cotton ships during the coming season.
MIR. Carr Is not disposed to advise the
men to leave home, if it is possible for
them to secure work here. The men them
selves, as rule, prefer to remain here
where their families reside. They say
that there Is no fault to find with the
treatment they have previously received
at Charleston. They received $3.50 and
So a day, worked eight hours and were
So tisfied.
In speaking of the matter of sending
men to Charleston, Mr.. Carr said: Il
wiz not send the men. l am OF the
opinion that the white longshoremen who
live here with their families prefer to
remain here and work, even If they aRe
compelled to make some concessions TO
the merchants demands. ! am trusting
that an amicable arrangement can be
made whereby the men can stay at home
and go to work. To further that plan, I
will use my influence to harmonic the
differences that have heretofore existed
and hope my endeavors win be successful
and satisfactory to all interested in the
business"

MIGHT SELL IT OUTRIGHT.
Talk of Using Ground Rent Income
to Pay for House Drainage.

to Pay for House Drainage.
Some of the aldermen do not think that
the question Of providing for the payment
for the house drainage system will come
up at the adjourned meeting of Council
to be held next wednesday night 1t
seems to be the opinion in some quarters
that this troublesome question will be
postponed until the first meeting in Sep
TENDER, at which time the bids for the
work will be before Council. Council win
know then just what will have to be paid
out, and, therefore, how much money will
have to be provided for.
There is a difference of opinion as to how
the money should be raised. It is said
some members of Council stiN hold to the
idea of issuing notes and paying for the
work in that way in spite of the courts
decision as to the legality of the notes.
The finance committee, however, has con-
sidered two propositions, both Of which
have been mentioned in the Morning
News. One of these is to raise the money
from the city's interest in the ground
rent lots, and the other is to do the work
by direct taxation, completing a part of II
each year for the next two or three years.
1t has been decided that the city can
not mortgage the interest it has in the
ground rent lots, but II is said there is
nothing to interfere with the sale out
right of that interest. The income from
these lots could be sold outright to any
party, it as said the city. assuming
sort Of responsibility for the collection of
the amounts due.
With regard to the second proposition.
as has been stated there IS the objection
that in doing a part of the work each
year, the streets would be torn up for a
considerable period of time. Then, too,
just at this time, when the state taxes

'RAH FOR REED.
Two of His Classmates Will Present His
Name in Convention.

The Republican district convention will
be held in Portland City hall tomorrow
forenoon. Ten O'Clock, the hour named,
in the call, is rather early for some of
the delegates from the remote sections
of the district, especially Kittery and
other towns on the eastern division of
the Boston q Maine, where the east bound
train service in the forenoon ia rather
limited. The delegates living in that
section will be obliged 10 connect with
the western division at Dover or North
Berwick, arriving in Portland at 1915
Ex-Mayor James Q. Bradbury of Saco
will preside at the convention. The
duties of the delegates will be only
formal, as Congressman Reed S renomi-
nation by reclamation is assured, but
there will undoubtedly be large atten-
dance.
Mr.. Reeds name will be presented in
the convention by Hon. J. W. Symonds
of this city, and the nomination will be
seconded by Judge Horace H. Burbank
Saco. Both of them were classmates
of Mr. Reed at Bowdoin college. in the
class Of 1860.

ON TBE LOOP.

The new loop of the Portland Railroad
company through Deering is now COM
pleted and cars will probably be running
regular trips in few days. The cars
will start at the head of Preble street, one
line going down Preble and make a cir
cult through North Deering, Lunt's
corner, East Deering to Tukey's bridge,
Washington street to Congress and then
to the head of Preble street.
Another line will leave the head OF
Preble street on Congress, going up Con-
gress to Washington, through Washing
ton, over Tukey's bridge, thence through
East Deering, Lunt's corner, North Deer
ing, Woodf ords and thence to Portland.
This makes a complete loop, and cars
will be run at regular intervals both
ways, passing each other on the way.
The Bramhall made the round trip
Saturday and everything on the road was
found to be in frst-class condition. The
only hitch on the trip was caused by ono
of the workmen on the line taking the
connecting wire from the section insu-
lator on Washington street near Congress.
This wire cuts out the current from the
line and the Bramhall went over it with
out knowing it had been disconnected :.
which delayed her for a few minutes until
the wire could be repaired.
The laws of the state require the road
to be first inspected by the railroad COM
missioners before passengers can be
carried over tine line. The mmissioners
will probably arrive here the first of the
week when a written permit will be
given the Portland Railroad company to
run their cars on schedule time and carry
paacano gers
