Now One.
THE DEAL HAS JUST BEEN con-
sUaMATED.
Great improvements TO be Made ON the

Included fn the Deal.

The deal by which the Portland and
railroad viii he consolidated into one
system hns practically been complsted and
on February goth at two thirty o'clock In
the afternoon the stockholders of the
Portland railroad viii meet to vote
upon tho consolidation on the terms
which have heon made by the directors OF
the two railroad companies. At the same
time the Portland railroad stockholders
will 10 askel to vote upon a proposition
to Increase the capital stock of that com.
p,ny / a order ID cover the cost of the
Portland and Cape Elizabeth railroad.
Iy this deal, which IS one Of the largest
transactions Of the kind ever made in
Portland, all Of the rights, equipment,
tracks, power house. wires und poles Of
the Portland ana Cape Elizabeth railroad
ard the theatre and casino ut Cape Cot
taae pass into the hands of the Portland
railroad
Iht transaction has heen under way
for some months. The Portland and
Cape Elizabeth railroad was tuilt some
Tour or live years ago, the capital being
largely furnished by New York and Chic.
ago capitalists. The road has pnid from
the start and has every year been increas'
ing Its business and improving Its GER
vice. The proposition 10 sell ont the road
to the Portland Railroad company is un.
derstood to have hrss been made by the
Portland and Cape Elizabeth railroad but
the price asked was so high that the offer
was refused. since tn It time the direc-
tors OF the two companies have been dick
erina over the matter and this last week
the final proposition of the Portland rail-
road directors was accepted and the only
thing that Is now required TO make the
Cape road portion OF the Portland rail-
road system Is the action of the stockhold-
ers which will undou teddy be favorable
Just what the sum involved in this trans
action Is 1t Is impossible TO state.
Az to the Intentions of the Portland
railroad II the Cape road is acquired, as
it doubtelly will be, the officials have
little 60 say but from an authentic source
it was learned that 1t is their intention TO
improve the track of the road to the
Cape, build q line directly over Meeting
House hill to the theatre and Casino at
Cape Cottage. improve the rolling stock
and power plant and run the road under
the same management az the Portland
railroad. At present the power house at
be Cape will be utilized for that system
but ultimately 1t Is the Intention of the
Portland road to increase the facilities OF
the Deering power house and generate all
of the power for the big system at that
place.
The acquisition of the Cape road by the
Portland raj road will be pleasing to the
patrons of the Cape road who will look
for great improvement in the service
and many changes which will be benef-
cial to the road.

eBnAnAM LINCOLN.
Lessons From HIS Life by Rev. DIR.
Smith Baker.

At the Williston church last evening
the pastor, the Rev. DR.. smith Baker,
preached on the II oral and religious les.
son suggested ny the life Of Abraham
Lincoln. Ii was principally addressed
to the young men of the congregation.
DIR. Baker spoke enthusiastically and
without notes
with the words from the second book of
samuel: "For he was "a very great man. !"
Mitnin the last three centuries, he said,
there have been three pre- eIpiuently
great rulers Of men, Cromwell, Bonaparte
and Lincoln. lie referred TO the great
mass of biographical literature for
which they have furnished subject and
said that Il the three Lincoln's name
was least likely to die. He WAS the best
representative of our institutions and in
our history will share the fame of
George Washington. Yet DO two men
could be more unlike in personality,
while they were essentially alike in the
great strength OF craftsmanship ami
patriotism.
Lincoln WAS unique in his individ uality.
He came from the lowest social condi.
ton, of family Of despised poor
whites. The sarcasm OF history is
shown in his origin. Up TO the time
Of his Inauguration, this homely, awk
ward. poorly educated man was not held
in high esteem north or south. There has
been a change in that regard.
The speaker then enumerated some of
the personal characteristics of the man.
First was his honesty, known to all men.
Second, his perfect fairness. This was
never better shown than during the ia
nous debate with douglas. A third was
his tenderness of heart as shown in mum.
erous familiar stories some OF which the
speaker reproduced. Another was shown
in his salways seeking the society of his
betters, or tho best he could lind which
was especially commended to young men
as worthy of imitation. Fifth, his faith
in God as often eyinced, though he was
not church member. His was IA
reverential nature.
Ihe speaker told Of his appointment OF
Eessenden to the Treasury Department
after praying for divine guidance.
DIR. baker closed with tine familiar story
of his pardon of William SCOTT. the
young Vermont soldier, who slept
on his post and with an oxhortation to
his hearers to be faithful TO COD through
gratitude. as Scott was to his oying day.

ably reach 800 Considering the

bered by all who participate. The chair
man of the banquet committee, Col. John
