One Thousand Boston Longshoremen Quit Work. Boston, Aug. 15.—The ’longshoremen’s or ganizations of Boston and East Boston struck this morning, in accordance with their decis ion, for 40 cents an hour for day work, 50 cents for night work and 80 cents for Sunday work, During the past two years they,have been get ting 30 cents an hour for day work and 40 cents for night work. It is claimed that at the best they cannot make more than S7 a week, and that the work is irregular and ardur us. They state that they have given the steamboat com panies a month’s notice, and not having re ceived any reply, deem that the time is ripe for the strike. It is estimated that about a thousand men have entered into the strike, and as the organizations are under |good disci pline, a firm attitude will probably be main tftiu&d* Interviews with the agents of the steamship lines this forenoon elicit the fact that the Ley land Line has discharged the ’longshoremen in its employ and hired Italian laborers, and |that the Allan, Warren and Cunard Lines are una ble to communicate any arrangements with the men. As the Cunard Line does not expect the arrival of a steamer before Monday next, on account of the conveying of troops to the Med iterranean, the company does not feel called upon to hasten action. Driver Boys’ Strike. Wilxesbarre, Aug. 15,—There are no signs of any compromise between the striking driver boys and Charles Parrish & Co., and the streets are full of idle miners who are in favor of the action of the boys. It is the intention of the operators not to comply with demanus made by strikers. If the latter do not return to work this week the mules at the Empire mines will be removed Monday and the mines be declared idle until the strikers return to work upon the basis offered to them. Charles Parrish & Co. issued an order this afternoon that work would be resumeo at the Hollenback mine tomorrow. This will give the disatisfied portion of the driver boys a cbance to return to work upon the basis offered Monday. _ DUBLIN’S DAY. The Unveiling of O’Connell’s Monument and Opening of the Exhibition—Great Success of the Fete. Dublin, August 15.—The preparations for the unveiling of the O’Connell monument and thn opening of the e xhibition indicate that the occasion in point of numbers present and dis play will exceed anything that has ever be fore occurred of a similar character. Visitors are constantly arriving from every part of Ire land, England and Scotland. Many buildings were illuminated last night. The monument committee held'a meeting Sunday night, at which the mayor presided. It was decided that Eight Hon. E. Dwyer Gray should read,a short address from the committee handing over the monument to the care of the citizens. The absence of Cardinal McCabe is much com mented upon. Many houses in the leading streets display flags, either green with Irish harps upon them and no crown, or the Star Spangled Banner. The Union Jack is nowhere to be seen. The city was astir by 6 o’clock this morning for the opening of the exhibition and the uu veiling of the statue of Daniel O’Connell. Bands paraded the streets, followed by large crowds. The procession of trades wa3 three miles long. Good order and regularity were kept by mounted marshals all along the route. T’.e O’Connell statue was unveiled by Lord Mayor Dawson in the presence of Parnell, Dillon, Davitt and Gray and a hundred thousand spec tators. The greatest enthusiasm prevailed. Dawson, accepting the statue for the Irish people said their straggle was not over and their efforts would still be obstructed. They must endeavor to forget the melancholy past and loos for glory in the future in the hope that Ireland once a province would again be come a nation. Parnell spoke a few words in which he expressed hope for the future pros perity of Ireland, He said the best monument to O’Connell were the changes beneficial to Ireland which marked him in life. The directors of the exhibition presented an address to the Lord Mayor declaring that in working for their own country they were not actuated by narrow feelings towards neighbor ing nations. Lord Mayor Dawson in roply ex pressed similar sentiments. He said the sue cess of the exhibition was a tribute to the en ergy and self reliance of the trades and work ing classes. The exhibition was then declared open, which is pronounced on all sides to be a great success especially the machinery depart ment. Everything is quiet. Gone with $90,000. Cincinnati, Aug 15.—The Gazette says Stephen Chase, the Cincinnati manager of Hemingway & Co.’s oyster and fruit packing house of Baltimore, states that his bookkeeper Henry Muller, is " defaulter to the amount of from *20,000 to *22,000, and has absconded.

Plaisted attempted to remove March 29, 1881, but who has performed the duties of ythe office since that time, claiming the Governor alone cannot remove, sent in his hill for services. Gov. Plaisted refused to submit this bill to the Council claiming Porter was not inspector and ^to allow him compensation would be to recog nize him as such. The bill of Col. H. S. Os good of Augusta, whom Gov. Plaisted also at tempted to remove from a similar position on the same date was audited and allowed by the Council but the Governor refused to affix his signature to the warrant for Osgood’s pay.

Alfred, Aug. 15.—York county has been debatable ground since 1856, when the Repub lican party, then just formed, carried it. The Republicans have carried it since—though sometimes by narrow majorities—whenever they have put forth their strength. In “off years,” when no stirring issues are presented, and the voters are indifferent, the Democrats have generally carried York. They will not this year. The Republicans—if one can judge by the enthusiastic convention held here to day—are thoroughly interested in the cam paign, are determined to win and are convinc ed that this is one of their years. The old shire town has never seen a larger assembly than that which gathered in the court-house yard today and overflowed into the streets on either side. The veterans present were re minded of the meetings during war times, and the younger men found no precedent in their briefer political experience by which to judge the convention. The convention met at ten o’clock, went to werk at once, and finished its business by one. The tioket nominated was a long one, and the contest for places on it animated—for it was felt that this year, nomination is equivalent to election. The delegates were called to order by Col. Mark Wentworth of Kittery, and the Hon. Caleb B. Lord of Alfred, one of the Republican pioneers, was made chairman. Sath E. Bryant of Kennebunk and Calvin Hayes of Kittery were secretaries. For Sena tors there was lit.le contest except in the Southeastern district, from which opposing candidates were presented by Saco and Bidde ford, those cities which are always sparring with gloves. The following ticket was named: Barak Maxwell, Wells; Ernest Goodall, San ford; Joseph Smith, 4th, Biddeford. For County Attorney Frank M. Higgins of Limerick, was nominated by acclamation, and for Commissioners, B. F. Pease of Cornish and Richard L. Goodwin of Berwick. For Treasurer two ballots were taken, the second resulting in the choice of Richard Stanley of Lyman. His competitors were Charles E. Weld of Buxton and Seth Warren of Hollis. For Sheriff two ballots were taken, the sec ond resulting in the choice of George Getchell of Wells. His competitors were George H. Wentworth of Berwick, Benjamin Hanson of Sanford, James Brackett of Limerick, and James Meserve of Buxton. The ballot for Clerk of Courts ended in the selection of James E. Hewey of Biddeford, he having 86 votes to 68 for W. H. Downs of South Berwick. For Register of Deeds five ballots were taken, the candidates being Justin Leavitt of Buxton, Samuel W. Jenkins of York, W. S. Hasty of Saco, and John M. Harper of Water boro. After the fourth ballot Messrs. Hasty and Harper withdrew, and the fifth ballot re sulted in the nomination of Mr. Leavitt by 87 votes against t o lor air. o uuiiuo. This completed the ticket—an exceptionally strong one, which will command the suffrages of every Republican voter in the county. So ac ceptable was it that in all the contested cases the defeated candidates moved to make the nominations unanimous, and victors and van quished shook hands heartily after the stren uous but good-natured fights, and promised to meet at the polls in September with unscratch ed ballots in hand. While the canvass for nominees was going on the other business of the convention was transacted. The list of Vice Presidents com prised John A. Fellows of Hollis, W. J. Cope land of Berwick, J. M. Mason of Limerick, Dr. J. W. Dearborn of Parsonsfield, E. Hi Banks of Biddeford, Frank A. Knight of North Berwick, Major S. C. Hamilton of Saco, Geo. W. Davis of Newiield and John Wentworth of Kittery. The committses on resolutions was Joel E. Marshall of Buxton, Samuel F. Chase of Saco, Albert R. Leavitt of Parsonsfield, Charles Prescott of Biddeford, Alonzo Leavitt of Al fred, John Wentworth of Kittery, and J. A. Fellows of Hollis. It reported as follows: Resolved, That, we the Republicans of the county of York, in convention assembled, hereby re-affirm and pledge ourselves to cany out the principles as eaunciated in the nation al platform of 1880 at Chicago, and also of the platform adopted at the Republican State Con vention held at Portland, June 13tb, whioh re sulted in the nomination of Hon. Frederic Robie as our standard bearer in the present campaign. Resolved, That we hereby endorse the names of the candidates nominated atthii convention, and we pledge ourselves to use alii honorable means in connection with our undivided sup port to secure their election. The county committee as constituted is: Mark Wentworth, Kittery; G. G. Hatch, Wells; Isaiah Hanscom, Lebanon; C. E. Mar shall, Berwick; C. H. Adams, Limerick; Geo. E. Mitchell, fSewfield; E. M. Goodall,Sanford; Jere. Bullock, Parsonsfield; C. E. Hussey, Biddeford; T. J. Leavitt, Buxton; W. F. War ren, Lyman; C. E. Sawyer, Saco. After makiDg the nominations and filling the list of committees the convention adjourned, well pleased with its work. It was probably the largest delega-e convention ever held in York county, and one of its most significant features was the presence of the old axe-men who blazed the path through the tall Demo cratic growth 25 years ago. Among those in the hall were Nathan Dane, Capt. John B. Fernald, J. W.ISargent,Major S. C. Hamilton, Capt. S. E. Bryant, Obadiah Durgin, C. B. Lord, Samuel Hanson, Col. Mark Wentworth, Charles E. Weld, Alfred Hall, J. M. Mason, Sylvester Bartlett. Hiram Lord, Thomas Tar box, Sylvester Littlefield, B. F. Hanson, J. F. Brackett, George GoodwiD, Charles Hobbs, B. F. Pease and many others of the Republican Old Guard—men who formed the party, gave character to it, and are as hearty in its support as when in early manhood they raised its flag and carried the standard of equal rights to vic tory. In the afternoon a large meeting was held on the lawn in front of the oourt-house, Sena tor Frye and Gen. G. B. Raum speaking. Be fore the talk began a flag was run out over the street, three bands, the Limerick. Sanford and Berwick, playing appropriate tunes as the ropes were pulled. The speakers had a great audience which, judging from its frequent and hearty applause found ample pleasure in lis tening to the distinguished speakers. Senator Frye opened his speech happily by romarkin g that York oounty was the only county that ever proposed him for Governor of Maine. This reference to the sound judgment of the county put his hearers in the best of humor, and they listened with the closest attention to his sharp and brilliant arraignment of the Democratic party for its sins of omission and commission, and to ins scathing cntictsm oi Plaisted. They were quick to take his points, and broke into laughing applause when he call ed Plaisted’s letter of acceptance a whine and a howl,—a whine because the Council did not abet the Governor in his endeavor to hire men to vote the Fusion ticket by giving them offices, and a howl at the corruption of the Republican party to which he belonged for twenty-five years, and left when it got tired of carrying him,when he had trudge along afoot and alone, Plaisted’s cunning in nominating men whom he knew would not be confirmed, or if confirm ed would not accept—thus paying compliments after the Chinese fashion—was satirically com mented on, and the methods of onr shifty Governor exposed. The main part of Senator Frye’s speech was given up to consideration cf tariff and revenue questions, rebuttal of the Democratic charge of excessive taxation and exposure of frandsjpracticed by Democrats in Southern Congressional districts. He spoke about two hours, and was followed by Gen. Raum, who discussed briefly and vigorously the national issues at stake in the campaign and called the attention of his audience to the necessity of electing a Republican House of Rmiresentatives. The speeches commaudcd tii6 closest atten tion, were heartily applauded, and strengthen ed the confidence of ihe.>Republicans in their ability to carry the county by a handsome majority. None of them place that majority under,three bundled, and most of them feel ture that it will be over five hundred. The weakness of the Fusion tieke* nominated last week and the strength of the ticket noroinateu todays go far to justify their sanguine hope. A TERRIFIC TORNADO Sweeps Over Banger and Vicinity. GREAT DESTRUCTION OF BUILDINGS AND OTHER PROPERTY, Loss Estimated Between $50,000 and $100,000. Bangob, Aug. 15.—The moat destructive tornado ever seen in this vicinity visited Ban gor a few minutes before six tc-night. The wind blow with terrific velocity and the rain fell in sheets converting the streets into roar ing streams, the whole accompanied by in' cessant thunder and lightning. The destruc tion of property is very great and will swell to large proportions. Buildings were blown down, roofs taken off* chimneys demolished and signs and awnings carried away. The spire of the Universalis! church was blown to the ground and the roof of the county court house taken off. The interior of the Bangor House was in jured by a chimney falling through. The European & North American Railway car sheds were blcwn down and a train of cars im prisoned. Several ice houses were badly damaged. Hundreds of chimneys went over and the business streets of the city are almost impassable with bricks and debris, while large numbers of trees lie across other streets of the city. Lightning struck the stable adjoining Max field’s wool factory and set it on fire, calling out the department. St. John’s church was also s'ruck but not much damaged. A set of buildings in Veazie were destroyed by fire during the storm, and a vast amount of dam age done to crops. The storm was local and only covered over a small territory. An estimate is difficult now but the loss will amount to between $50,000 aad 5100,000. During the storm a woman by the came of Mrs. Pierce was affected by the lightning which struck a tree near her and she is still in sensible. Masonic Hall was damaged some, what by water pouring through an aperture in the roof caused by a chimney breaking oil and falling through, and a large number of houses were more or less damaged. Goods in the cellars of numerous stores were damaged con" siderably by water. The Brewer steam brick yard sustained damage by water of $1003. It is reported a set of buildings on Valley avenue were set on fire by lightning and destroyed. The freedom from loss of life is very remark able. _ RIVER AND HARBOR BILL. Senator Hoar Explains Why the Massa chusetts Delegation Voted in Its Favor. Boston, Aug. 15.—Senator Hoar has ad" dressed a loDg letter to the people of Massa chusetts which will appear in Wednesday morning’s papers in which he gives the rea sons which governed the Massachusetts delega tion in voting for the River and Harbor appro priation bill. The senator says “What is the river and liarber bill which has been the sub ject of such criticism? It appropriates $18, 738,875, but of this sum $5,3(38,500 are for spec ial improvement of the Mississippi river ac cording to the design of an eminent commis sion specially appointed in a former year to frame a plan for that purpose; $40,000 for re clamation of malarial aad pestiferous flats near the White House, and $247,500 for future sur veys. To neither of these items so far as I can learn is there objection anywhere. Deduct ing these three extraordinary items each of which might properly have been in a separate bill there remain $12,722,875 as the subject of discussion. The expenditure of last year was $11,451, 300. Further, of this whole sum 12,700,000 there is but 1,353,4g5jthat is now; all the rest is for public improvements partially complet ed, most of which have been eoing on for years, many of them under contracts and all or nearly all of which if abandoned would cause the less of all money previously ex pended. Referring to internal improvement he says: ".People get more for their money from this class of appropriations than any other. These works are permanent. The money is expend ed by a board of engineers and this board is made up of experienced army officers and has the confidence of the country more than any other public body not excepting the supreme court itself. No member of Congress or any body else can influence a dollar of expendi ture. Economy and honesty of expenditure of no dollar in this deoartmem has ever, so far as known, been challenged. The constitution au thorizes these expenditures only when the ad vantage received by the public repays the cost and when that advantage is ian advantage to the commerce with foreign nations or among the ,States. If the expenditure be wasteful or be merely for individual benefit it is to be condemned ibut it does not follow from this statement because a harbor or water-way is within the limits of one State or county it is for that reason local only. If the effect of the public work be to annex that community to the great system of national or international ways and that community be of sufficient im portance or will be by the improvement made of sufficient importance to make that annexa tion a national benefit then the expenditure is warranted. By this test must each item in the river and harbor bill stand or fall. Of course senators generally connot personal ly investigate every item which goes to make up this or any other of the appropriation bills, but having reasons for believing the pro visionsof this bill were just and honest we had the further fact that no human being so far as I know had ever pointed out one single item, great or small, that he thought wrong. Much general denunciation there was outside and a little in Congress, but no man to the b<n t of my belief—and in this I am confirmed by my associates and especially by members of the committee -ever pointed their finger to one single item and laid this is local, this is a job, this is for individual and not public benefit ” In regard to the President’s veto he says: “No man feels more deeply than I the public and party reasons which make it desirable to support the President. But the duty of a Senator or Representative, when the President returns a bill with his objection, to vote on its reconsideration according to his own con science's as clearly setjforth|in the constitution as the duty of the President to act according to hii. ..The President did not point out any item he thought of local interest only and did not point out any instance in which he thought the bill unconstitutional. He did not refer to the information on which he acted that we might see whether it were he or we that were deceived and we were therefore left to our own resources.” The Senator concludes as follows: “Whether the policy of this bill is to be popular in Mas sachusetts this afternoon, this week or this year I do not know; but one thing I do know it is in the line of all her traditions and sure sooner or later to command her support.” N W YORK.
