HARBoR NOTES.


The storm was very severe In the har'
Dor and along Commercial street yester.
day morning. The lower roads were Oiled
with vessels of all descriptions and there
they remained during the day riding
out the storm.
There have been no boats to or from
Boston since Sunday on account of the
heavy and continuous gales. The New
York boats are also delayed.
The tide ran so high yesterday morning
that the dredges digging the harbor
were obliged to suspend operations.
Dredge No. 8, which ia working in the
upper harbor, was towed into the old
dry dock to await favorable opportu-
nifty for work.
The mainmast of the three masted
schooner Grace Davis, having been con.
demned, has been removed, and is being
replaced by a new one.
In spite OF the storm and raging sea the
Sebascodegan. started on her regular trip

THE HoFAckER CASE.
The Government omcer. wish wood
sam Defeated by District Attorney.

Developments have arisen out Of the as
sault case which occurred at Cuships's
island last week As will DO remembered
the trouble arose from the desire of Fred
Hofacker, n iabcrer employed ON the gov.
erpment reservation at Cushing's. to
warm his dinner in the boiler room at
the works" and that Hofacker's at.
tempt TO attain his desire was followed,
according TO Hofacker's account, by Fire.
man woodsum's striking him on the head
with board. The following night, when
In Portland, Hofacker had woodsum ar
rested by civil process for assault and
battery. but woodsum was ballsd out the
following day and resumed his place on
the works rs boiler runner.
The government engineer in charge of
the Qualifications works In this district
has interested himself in the case and
has recommended to the department at
Washington that woodsum be defended
by the United States district attorney. be-
cause he (woodsum) used force in ejecting
Hofacker not for personal reasons, but in
endeavor to enforce an order OF the over
seer. The case being taken up by the
government II Is thought, will also serve
as beneficial precedent and prevent such
arrests and suits In the future where the
alleged aggressors are men In responsible
positions and doing no more than enforc-
ing the orders OF their supcriors
Just short time before this incident
occurred, the overseer, in discharging a
laborer for cause, was compelled to use
force In maintaining his authority on ac-
count NJ the violent language and threat
ening conduct OF the discharged man.
A practice which is followed in the
South, IL Is believed would have whole.
some effect In dealing with such cases,
which is Of deputixing two or three reli
able and responsible men employed on
government works as United States mar
shals. Then when laborsrs. or other per-
sons, become obnoxious such officers have
power to make arrests, and the tempta-
ton to create disturbances Is greatly les
sened.

KINDERG ARTENS.
IN THE MUNICIPAL COURT.

Tuesday afternoon Adobe Muser, an
employe at the Union station cafe. caught
his hand in an ice cream freszer and
jammed it so badly that it was necessary
to have several of the fingers amputated.
After this operation Muser was found in
;oxicated and was taken TO the police
station. Yesterday morning he pleaded
not guilty in court He said that the
only liquor he took was some wine the
doctor gave him. He thought his appear
ante of intoxication must have been due
to some drugs or anaesthetics the doctor
administered The officers who made the
arrest say that Muser's breath smelled
very strongly of liquor. The court found
Muser guilty and sentenced him to pay IA
fine of So and costs. Sentence was sns.
pended during good behavior

ID. Davis Of Fore street, brought by
Deplty Sheriffs Gribben and Osborne.

quarter bottle of large beer In an Ice chest

other hari liquors. The defense was that

cine under the orders of DR. Twitchell.
The court decided that Davis was not
guilty.
John Kelly and John Wilson both
pleaded guilty to the charges of intox-
lcation aud were fined 50 and costs each.

Spring display of fine
dining room Linens got
lots of attention and the
expressions of approval
from those thrifty house
keepers who braved the
elements and came in re-
SPONGE to our announce
ment were extremely
gratifying and in high
measure made up for the
loss of trade that the in
clement weather brought
about.
The sale continues all

to have a look at this
linens show. Your visit
will be welcome at any
time.
The line of Damask
Cloths and Napkins made
by John S. Brown & Sons
of Ireland, than whom
there's no better makers
in the world, occupies
much space in our stock.
This brand has stood the
test of time. The goods
are of the finest quality,
the bleach is the purest
and the designs rather the
best, moreover, in twenty
years selling we have
found Browns linens en-
tirely reliable and trust
worthy. That's why we
give them such promi-
hence in our stock.
The other standard
kinds from Scotland, from
Belgium and France are
represented here in great
variety too. also the best
things from the less-well-
known linen spinners in
Ireland. In such an en-
ormous variety you are
sure to find a set of table
linen to please you and
there's a satisfaction in
the thought that you can
buy it for rather less
money than the same
goods are sold for in
New York and Boston
and elsewhere.
