day evening, 1t was voted by a narrow
majority to negotiate with Mr.. l.. NJ.
Leighton for the purchase of lot of land
located on Clifton street, $50 feet from
Forest avenue for church building pur-
poses.
The society had under consideration
the lot of land owned by Mr.. Herbert
Harmon at corner OF Grant and Mechanic
streets, also one neqr Jersey street. but
finally decided to see what arrangement
could be made for the purchase of the
Clifton street lot. 1t is understood that
the price asked is $500. while that of the
Harmon property was $4,000. The former
lot does not include graded lot or sew
or privileges, while the latter lot inolud-
ed cellar for foundation and has the
advantage of sewerage and water servi
The Clifton street lot was selected ON

1t was quiet Fourth Of July for Port.
land Beginning at midnight on Monday
there were the usual crowds Of young men
roaming about the streets discharging fire
arms and cannon crackers, but there did
not seenlto be as many OF these as are
usually to be seen or II there were as
many they made less noise than Portland
people have become accustomed to in
years past. With daylight came the ring
ing.of bells and the firing of salutes;at the
government Notifications and by the city.
At this hour the youngsters got in their
work and for an hour or two 1t W as
pretty lively, but the racket soon died
away excepting on-the side streets where
an occasional small boy Enthusiastically
worked away in the heat burning up his
stock of fire works.
In the forenoon the people began to
leave the CITY in large numbers There
was Hibernian picnic at Sebago Lake
which took quite lot Of people ont of
town and the celebration at Wsstbrook
jewellers In the city. Big excursion trains
arrived here over the Maiue Central from
Lewiston and Augusta and brought many
people who went to Peaks island for the
day. These exuursionists reinforced by
Portland people gave the Casco Bay
Steamboat company about all the crowd
they could handle. Their boats made
many extra trips. In fact they were run
ming between the city and the islands all
day and up to the time the tide Of travel
began TO turn at four o'clock in the.after-
noon their boats took on every trip all
that the law allowed. Many other PEG
pie passed theFourth at Riverton, at Cape
Cottage and at Old Orchard, while the
Yarmouth electrics were well patronized.
In the afternoon the city streets were very
quiet, but about four O'Clock the crowds
began to return from out of town and
things became more lively. especially
IN POLICE CIRCLES.
The night before the Fourth was very
quiet one with the police. Up to four
o'clock yesterday afternoon only three
arrests had been made, but after that
hour the patrol wagon was kept busy.
The worse case the police had before sun
rise on the Fourth was that of P. H.

About half past eight o'clock last
night a still alarm was sent in to the
central fire station for fire in the base
ment Of j. O. Preston's bakery on Free
street, near the corner Of Center. The
chemical engine and hose five responded
to the alarm. On arriving at the scene
Of the fire Captain Butler Of the chemical
thought 1t advisable to pull in an alarm
from box 4l3 which brought assistance.
After some time the fire, which origi-
mated in pile OF rubbish in the rear Of
the basement, was extinguished. The
building Is owned by Col Fred N. Dow
and ia insured, though the loss will not
be very heavy. Over the bakery lived
a man named Wallace, who was absent
from home at the time of the fire. His
furniture was badly smoked up. Mr..
Preston's stock was badly damaged from
smoke. He was insured for 81. 800 who b
covers the loss.

A DESERTED CITY.


II is not likely that the Oldest inhahi-
tant can recall Fourth Of July" when
the streets Of the city were 20 deserted rs
yesterday and there was the best Of raa-
sons for all this when we consider the
enormous travel on the Island steamers
and electric cars running to the various
summer resorts.
Peaks island. where the manager Of the
Casco Bay Steamboat company had an
nounced cele bration, was mecca in
deed whittier many thousands turned
their gaze. II Is estimated that this one
spot drew at least Is. 900 people. Manager
Cooling said yesterday TO reporter of the
PRESS that he never had seen anything
like 1t before. They began streaming
down the wharf soon after eight O'clock
and when the nine O'Clock boat whistIed
for start she was loaded to the utmost
Of the law. All the available boats Of the
company were at once called into service.
and more too for It was necessary to get
the Alice Howard to aid In the Transport
tation of the crowds. All these steamers
MAIDS trips as fast as they could and sue
ceeded in landing about 1900 passengers
every hour up to late hour In the after
noon. To tho credit OF the manager and
his faithful and hard working employees
1t sho uld be noted that this large army
of recreation seekers was handled without
accidents Of any kind.
Other island steamboat lines had
good days work and when to all these is
added the tremendous travel on the cleo
trio roads we are not at loss to account
for the lonesomeness Of the city.
Westbrook had its celebration which
drew away few thousand, the Hiber-
MAN Knights mustered about 1900 people,
Rigby had its followers and the sbsentees
were naturally swelled in number by the
attractions which Yarmouth and Old
Orchard offered all Of which can only be
guessed az. But for the most part IL was
reserved for Riverton and Cape Cottage to
complete the big hole made by the Peaks
island celebration in the oity's population
for the time being. At three o'clock yes
terday afternoon Superintendent Mac
readie of the Cape Elizabeth branch OF
the Portland railroad, estimated, and
that too conservatively, that 5000 passen-
gers had travelled over his road to the
Cape Cottage grounds and at that time
they were still coming. 1t is safe to say
that Riverton was visited by from to
10000 people during the day, so that now
1t remains for thoses fond of addition
and subtraction to strike the balance
which will account for the desertAd APP
pearance of our streets. Briefly stated at
least two out of every three of our inhab-
itants spent the day away from the city.

As the horses were assembling for the
s.s5 class In the races at Rigby park yes
terday afternoon the spectators were
treated to thrilling spectacle not down
on the programme. Among the horses
was the chestnut mare Cadsnzs, owned
by DR.. Rogers Of Knightvills, and driven
by Robert Stanwood, of South Portland.
Cadenza was hitched to one of the ordi-
nary bicycle tired sulkies, and was tax
ing few preliminary turns in front of
the grand stand preparatory to scoring
for the first heat. Suddenly the mare
reared. She came down. and the driver
apparently thought that was the end of 1t.
But the mare Immediately reared again,
this time quicker and higher. The heart
Of every spectator stood still for moment
as the horse was seen straight in air, ap-
parently poised on the wheels OF the
sulky, and the man clinging to his seat
beneath. The next instant there was a
cracking OF the sulky frame, and the
horse came down in a sitting posture,
squarely on the man.
Then the horse fell over onto its back,
its heels kicking wildly In the air. and
the man was seen lying on the track.
No one expected to see him move, but
he jumped up as II to seize the horse. His
strength was not equal to that, however,
and he might have fallen had not by.
ISLANDERS supported him to the fencs and
then carried him to the judges stand.
There bed of coats was made for him,
and DR.. Rogers, who was present, made
him comfortable. 1t was not thought
that he was dangerously injured.
1t seemed to the spectators, however,
that man could not come alive cut Of
the position he was in.
Stanwood expressed the opinion that
the horse was frightened by the ban5.
The horse was extrioated from the
sulky, and in new sulky and a new
harness went into the race, being driven
by groom Of the appropriate name of
Sandy Hope. The horse behaved all right
in the race, coming sedately under the
wire in fifth place.
