DEERING GRADE CROSSINGS
Raiiro May he Asked 20 Provide
More Gate Tenders For Them.

Al the next meeting OF the Mayor and
Board Of Aldermen it IL not unlikely that
an order viii be introduced appointing
committee to confer with the Maine
Central and Portland and Rochester
railroads to reguIats the Dressing Of some
streets In Deering on q grade at the
speed at which the trains now run. The
order will probably Instruct the COM
mittse TO see II gate tenders cannot be
employed for Saunders street In Deering
and some other streets which the Maine
Central crosses at a grade and gate
keepers will also be asksd for the streets
which the Portland and Rochester rail-
road crosse, In this manner.
IL was reported yesterday that three or
four small children on their way to
school had a very narrow escape at Saun-
'iers street crossing, and It is mainly TO
guard against accidents to the school chill
dren that the aldermen Will be asked to
act In this matter. The complaint re-
garding the Pearl, Lincoln and Forest
avenues crossings Of the Portland and
Rochester railroad. lie that only one man
10 provided to care for the gates at these
points and as be has to Manipulate all
three of them, the public Is much incon-
vsnienced by the delay.

They Have Come to Decision Re-
gaFding Their Future Action.
No Formal Vote On
Lighting Contract.
But They win Claim Sole Power
to Make the Contract.

The Aldermen held another secret ses-
sion last night. They convened in the
Mayors Office behind closed doors OF
half past seven O'Clock and did not ad-
journ until half-past ten O'Clock. The
proceedings OF this meeting were infor-
NAL, all had a chance TO express them
sleeves freely on the points under discus
sion ana took advantage of the opportu-
nifty. IL Is understood that no vote was
taken, hut 1t was evident from what was
said that all the aldermen have made up
their minds Just what they will do when
the electric. lighting contract comes up
for final action in the Board of Alder.
men next Monday evening. 1t seemed
to be the general opinion last night that
the aldermen had come TO the conclusion
that the Common Council has exceeded
Its legal right in passing an order max
ing lighting contract. 1t WAS our
rently reported last night that the board
will vote ut Its next meeting to nom
concur in the councils order or to post
pone action ON IL indefinitely and tnen
proceed to pass an order on its own ac-
count making a contract with either one
company or the other. The aldermen
belleye,or some Of them have SO expressed
themselves, that the power to make
lighting contracts rests alons In the board
of aldermen and that the common coun-
oil has nothing to 10 with the matter. II
is believed that the aldermen decided last
night to stand by this position. One of
them when asked point blank by a
PRESS reporter If this was the decision
of the board last night, did not deny that
this was the result of tine conference.
Ii Will be remembered that this was
the position the aldermen took in refer
ence to lighting the islands this summer.
They claimed the sole power to make
contracts for this lighting, and delegated
one of their number TO act for the. board
IN the matter. Notwithstanding the
efforts which have been made by the
members Of the common council to throw
this contract for lighting Peaks island
out because IL was made in this manner,
one of the bills for this lighting has been
presented and paid, though it did not
have the signature of the majority of the
committee ON lights.
Some Of the common council members
when they learned of the probable act
ion Of the aldermen at their next public
meeting were very angry and said that
they would make Rome howl II any such
action is taken by the aldermen. One
of the aldermen said last night: "You
are going to see some fun befors this
lighting business is settled. There will
be a warm time in the aldermen's cham :
Der next Monday evening""

And Brought 1t To Portland By
Yesterdays Boat.
He Tried to Sell 1t Here
For a Small Sum.
Says Name Is Irving And Boston
Police Know Him.

The Portland police made q clever cap
ture Of crook yesterday afternoon. They
have arrested q horse thief who had the
nerve to steal q fine team right in the
heart of Boston and get away with IT..
when he was first captured the man de-
MED that he had stolen the team, but re-
fused to make any talk regarding him
self. A little later In the evening he told
Deputy Marshal Firth all about himself
and confessed that he had stolen the
horse and carriage In Boston.
Yesterday afternoon this stranger with
black. bushy beard and rather pscu-
liar manner. approached several people
and tried to sell them n horse and oar
riage worth at least SOD for a sum much
less than that. His excuse for selling
was SO thin and his manner SO strange
that tina police were notified to look into
the case. After some search the horse
and buggy were found at the Boston
boat wharf where they had just been un-
loaded from the boat. the man was also
found and taken into custody. He told
the deputy that he didn't belong any
where In particular and didn't care to
talk anyway. Finally he said that he
supposed he was In q box and might as
we'll make a clean breast of the whole
business SO. he gave his name and told
where he had stolen the team.
He had found It hitched near State
street in Boston, and had driven 1t off,
After riding about while he had taken
1t to the Portland boat and brought IL
down here to sell. The horse is a small
dark bay with a white cross on It's fore
head and a white OF hind ankle. 1t
weighs about 900 pounds. is ''up-head.
ed" and in good flesh. The carriage Ia
a Goddard buggy with rubber tires and
rubber top. 1t has steel fianges. rod
stripped wheels, is lined with green and
has an extra b cushion.
The man arrested gives his name as
James Irving, and says that the "Bos-
ton police will know him all right" He
is about six feet tall, has bushy black
beard, was dressed in gray suit and a
black derby hat. He is about 3s years
old.
The Boston police will be notified I
the arrest this morning and asked to
find an owner for the team.

ONE ELECTRIC LIGHT PLANT VS..
FOUR.

The Portland Electric Light Company
has made u proposal to the city that is
lower than any competitor. 1t will in
stall a steam power auxiliary plant to
take care of any possible contingency and
work is to begin on this duplicate plant
Immediately on the award of the con-
tract. With its water power plant they
will thus have two complete equipments
either of which will be fully equal in car
Ing for tho city lighting and the Con-
solidatedsTouldb be a third. They Will
also have 800 welsbaoh street lights
which will completely cover the city, an
advantage that is not and cannot be
provided by the Consolidated Electric
Light Co.. as they have no bi6 for light
ing by gas and electricity and 1t is only
possible to make such an arrangement
with the Portland Electric Light Co. in
conjunction with the Welsbaoh Street
Lighting Co. and the Portland Gas Light
Co. 1t will be observed that the Portland
Electric Light Co. thus provides three
lighting plants (and the Consolidated a
fourth) AMI no possible contingency could
arrive whereby the city could be left In
darkness. But how is it with the Consol-
idatsd Electric Light Cor What sort of

is that they VIII have one or think they

the lowest ons year bid of the Consoli-
dated. TRUTHFUL.

RIGHT OF MAN TO DIE.
DIR. NiclxersOn Gives His Ideas Regard
ing Use of ChIroform.

Meriden, Ct, September f2.-The Morn
signed statement from DIR. Nehemiah
NIckerson, whose views ON the right OF
man TO die have caused such sensation.
DIR. Nickerson says in substance that
there Is nothing in the article published
by him in Saturdays Record to show
that the administration of chlorform to
patients dying of incurahle disease,
tends to lessen the last few hours of life.
'Ry removing the agony from pain In
cancer ar from the struggle for breath
In certain cases of heart disease or con-
sumption. l should judge It might pro-
long the period. but this is a poin {
which cannot be determined to a GER
tainty.
''My remark in Saturday mornings
Record were intended to show what /
considered the duty of the physician dur
ing the last few hours Of terrible suffer
ing from incurable disease, when we
can act the part of 3 minittering angel
in no more meroiful manner than by
rendering the sufferer unconscious DUR
ing the few hours that remain.
My confederation was entirely con-
fined to those cases of long continued In
durable disease where there could be no
possibility OF mistake and when the
patient was absolutely dying In extrem Q
agony, which the ply slcian could mitI-
gate or relieve. Shall he stand by in help
less inactivity while pain and agony
wiring the last breath from the poor
sufferer say no and doubly no. Nor
phia and various anaesthetics which my
critics profess to use have no effect on
the pain of cancer unless necessarily
fatal dose Is given. The physician in
such cases finds himself compelled to
resort to chloroform.
"In spite Of all the anaethemas hurled
at me the profession has and does in ex.
treme cases resort to this msans Of
re- lief"

traffic ON the Maine Central has been
so heavy at this time of the year, both
in freight and passengers. The Flying
Yankee Monday afternoon had no less
that four Pullman cars besides the eight
other cars on the train, and 1t was so
long as to stretch through the depot and
across Main street. AS to freight trains,
the yards are full. Saturday there were
two freight trains mads up to go, when
third, the special, came in, and 1t had
to wait ON the passenger tracks of the
main line until the othsr two were out.
