Cambridge Chronicle, Volume XLVIII, Number 12, 25 March 1893 - OUR POPULATION. [ARTICLE]
Our Population
Some time ago we referred to some facts in regard to the population of Cambridge, as shown by the census reports. Chief Wadlin, of the Bureau of Statistics of Labor, has just issued a bulletin which gives further interesting details. Of the 70,028 persons who constituted the population of Cambridge when the census was taken in 1890, there were 23,851 who were born outside the United States - a little more than one-third of the entire number. Nearly one-half of these (to be exact, 10,205) first saw the light in Ireland. The next largest foreign contribution came from Canada and Newfoundland, which gave us 7,497. England furnished 2,328. Our German citizens number 870. Scotland comes closely behind with a company of 754, and is followed by Sweden, with almost exactly the same number, 746. It will probably surprise our readers to know that the enumerators found 456 Portuguess in Cambridge, the number being nearly twice as great as that of the Norwegians, of whom only 226 were discovered. Italy is the only remaining country which supplied as many as one hundred, the Italians numbering 115.
Other nations were represented as follows: France, 84; Cuba and the West Indies, 70; Denmark, 61; Switzerland, 58; Russia, 58; Switzerland, 57; Spain, 38; Chloe, 36; Atlantic Islands, 44.
Smaller numbers were contributed by South America, Austria, Holland, Belgium, Hungary, Bohemia, Poland, Australia and Turkey, while 11 of our inhabitants were "born at sea."
Truly we are a cosmopolitan city. The world has sent us representatives of the various tribes and nations and peoples, and we have taken them in, and are showing them our civilization, and what it can do for them.

Aid For St. John's.
Meeting of Citizens at City Hall, Monday Evening.
A small but interested audience assembled at the city hall, Monday night, to take steps toward rendering aid to the St. John's, Newfoundland, sufferers by fire. Mayor Alger presided, and after stating the object, called on Mr. Wm. Taylor, of Boston, who pictured the scourge which had come upon his native land and outlined what was needed and what so far had been done to relieve the suffering and needs of the now destitute people. He stated that so far $4500 had been raised, and alluded to the fact that a vessel now lying at Battery wharf would sail in another week with merchandise for the stricken people.
A letter of sympathy and interest was received from Senator Read, Rev. Fr. Flatley sent a check for $15, D. U. Chamberlin one for $10 and Alderman Townsend offered the free use of his store for a receiving station for all merchandise intended for the sufferers. Remarks were made by Ex-Councilman McCormick, of East Cambridge, who told what East Cambridge had already done, by Mr. John Pike, Mr. H. O. Houghton, Jr. and Rev. Mr. Hudson, of No. Weymouth.
On motion of Dr. J. D. Couch it was voted that the major be authorized to appoint a committee of 10 to solicit aid. The major stated that he desired to find out who would surely serve before nominating any one, and therefore asked for a day or two's time. The meeting then adjourned.
The committee finally selected to issue an appeal for aid is as follows: A. B. Alger, treasurer; Isaac Bradford, John Read, Wm. E. Doyle, John R. Fairbairn, John P. McCormick, Malcolm E. Rideout, H. O. Houghton, Jr., Charles E. Stratton and Isaac McLean.
Clothing and other wearing apparel may be forwarded to the following named gentlemen: Gilbert Pynn, 19 Cogswell avenue; William Eastman, 20 Cogswell avenue; Thomas Gurnham, 160A North avenue; John P. McCormick, 160 Gore street.

Cambridge Chronicle, Volume IX, Number 41, 14 October 1854 - THE LOSS OF THE ARCTIC. [ARTICLE]
The Loss of The Arctic
Our community, in common with the whole country, has been saddened by another distressing ship wreck, attended with most appalling loss of human life. The non-arrival of this steamer at New York, where she was due about the 1st instant, had not caused much real anxiety, as it was conjectured that from some accident to her machinery she might be under canvas, and her passage in consequence prolonged. The arrival at New York of a small number of the survivors the past week, in a pilot boat to which they had been transferred from the vessel that picked them up, put an end to all doubt, and as further particulars have come to hand from day to day, the fearful extent of the calamity has been revealed. The Arctic sailed from Liverpool on the 20th Sept., and on the 27th, while running thirteen knots an hour in a dense fog, some sixty miles east of Cape Race, she came in contact with the French Propeller Vesta, from St. Pierre, bound for Europe. The bow of the Arctic was so shattered below the water line, that it was found impossible to save her; she filled and sank in less than four hours from the collision. The boats were got out, but to the shame and condemnation of the crew, they were chiefly seized upon by them, and pushed off without in some cases being filled more than a quarter of their capacity. Of the two hundred passengers, but a very small number were saved, and not one of the women or children! The Vesta put back to St. John's, Newfoundland, with the loss of a small number of passengers and crew, and in a disabled state. There are some of the Artic's boats yet to be heard from, and it is hoped that there are yet more survivors of this terrible calamity.

BOLGER, James
Mr. James Bolger of Palmer street is known in every part of Eastern Massachusetts as a successful horse-shoer.

He was one of twelve children and learned his trade in his father's shop. In 1863 he came to Cambridge, and was at first in charge of shoeing horses for the Union railroad, where he remained three years. Ambition then induced him to start in business for himself. He began with a partner named Sheehan in the basement of A. J. Jones's factory on Palmer street. Three years later he moved to Church street, and three years later he built a shop on Mr. Pike's land on Palmer street. He remained there about seven years, when, with the dollars he had accumulated, he bought the land where he is now located and built a two-story building, 42x46 feet in dimensions. The shop contains five forges, employs from six to eight men and affords ample room for his business. For the past five years Mr. Bolger has run a shop through the summer at Atlantic Hill, Natasket Beach, for the accommodation of summer residents. In this manner he has been thrown in contact with a wide range of people and owners of fine horses. This shop employs two or three men.

DEATH BY FIRE.
Two Lives Lost on Prospect Street - Two others badly burned - Cause Unknown.
A fire which broke out in the dwelling house, 216 Prospect street, shortly after 11 o'clock Monday night, caused the death of one person and serious injuries to three others. All the inmates of the house had retired for the night. Edward E. Gould, who, with his brother, Augustus G., occupied the front room on the second story, was awakened by the crackling of flames and the odor of smoke.
Realizing that the house was afire, he shouted to arouse the others. Augustus jumped from the second story window to the yard, followed by his brother. Both were undressed. A passerby responded to their cries by ringing in an alarm from box 234, located at the corner of Summer and Prospect streets, directly opposite the Gould house.
G. H. Hastings, who lives opposite, was aroused by the noise and took the Gould brothers into his house. It was then learned that the two women had not been taken out of the burning dwelling. After hastily clothing himself Edward Gould ran back to his house in a valid effort to save his mother.
Meanwhile the fire department had arrived and learned of the condition of things. Although flames were pouring out of the upper windows some of the firemen went into the burning building and made a search for the women in the back rooms.
Miss Clark, the housekeeper, was found near the doorway of her own room at the head of the back stairs, and was carried across the street to Mr. Hastings's house. It was thought at first that Mrs. Gould had made her escape, but as she could not be found, Edward went into the house with the firemen to try to locate her. They rushed up the back stairs through the blinding smoke, and there on the bed in her room lay the dead body of Mrs. Gould. She had been burned to a crisp. Her room adjoined that of her sons. The police ambulance was called, and Edward Gould and Miss Clark were taken to the Cambridge hospital. Augustus Gould was removed to Mr. Hastings's house, where Drs. T. J. Leahy, J. M. Crocker and Albert August did what they could to alleviate his sufferings.
The fire evidently started in the dining room which is located directly under the room that was occupied by Mrs. Gould. The base of a lamp was found resting on the dining room table, and the police theory is that the lamp exploded, the accumulated hot air causing an explosion that burst the glass in the windows and made the fire visible from the street.
Augustus Gould is firm in his belief that the fire was caused by a defective flue. He says he heard no explosion, although citizens several blocks away claim to have heard one.
The fire had a clean sweep from the dining room to the rear and also to the front stairway, and the spread of the flames was extremely rapid, cutting off the escape of the women who occupied rooms in the rear upstairs. The greater portion of the lower story and the whole of the upper story were badly gutted. The building is owned by W. G. McLeod, and the damage will be in the vicinity of $2000, which is covered by insurance.
Miss Carrie Clark, the housekeeper for Mrs. Gould, died at 7 o'clock Tuesday night, in Cambridge hospital, after terrible suffering. Medical Examiner Swan viewed the body, and then it was turned over to a sister of the unfortunate woman, Mrs. Gullage, of 12 Hamlin street. Miss Clark was about 30 years old. The funeral will probably be held today.
Messrs. Edward and Augustus Gould, the two sons, are slowly recovering from their injuries.
The funeral of Mrs. Gould was held Thursday at 11 at Prospect Street Congregational church. There was a large attendance of relatives and friends. The service was conducted by Rev. Dr. Reuben A. Beard, pastor of the church, who also spoke in eulogy of deceased. The Cambridge Male quartet, under the direction of Francis L. Pratt, sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," "Lead, Kindly Light," and "Sweet By and By." The body was taken to Lowell for burial.
The funeral of Miss Clark took place Thursday. She was 19 years old, a native of Newfoundland, and the daughter of Robert and Jane Dominie Clark. The burial was in Cambridge cemetery.

So Near and Yet So Far
Suffering hardships and privations in order to reach this country, only to be sent back when within sight of his goal, was the experience of Richard Heafrey, a stowaway on the steamship "Philadelphia." Captain Gardner, which came into port on Saturday morning and berthed at pier 4 Hoosac docks, Charlestown. The "Philadelphia" came from London, and the second day out Heafey, suffering from hunger and thirst, made his way on deck. Captain Gardner took pity on the young man and provided for his wants on the passage over. Off the lightship on Saturday, the company's steamer "Anglican," outward bound for London, was seen by Captain Gardner, and he immediately got in communication with her by means of signals. He asked Captain Groozes if he would take back a stowawayg, and the commander of the "Anglican" concented. A boat was sent away from the "Philadelphia." Heafey, completely broken down at the thought of returning to England, was bundled into it and rowed to the outgoing liner, which will land him back in London in about 11 days.
Heafey is a native of Newfoundland and was a cabinet maker by trade. He had been out of work and told the officers that he was trying to get to Cambridge, where he said, his father and mother resided. Captain Gardner, being familiar with the immigration rules relative to stowaways and the trouble entailed by bringing them here, thought the easiest way out of the difficulty was to send him back on the "Anglican." he expected to reach port before the "Anglican" got away, but he met her just outside the port.

Cambridge Tribune, Volume XVI, Number 39, 23 December 1893 - Mr. Henry O'Meara Something About Boston's Favorite Writer of Graceful Verse. [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]
Mr. Henry O'Meara
Something About Boston's Favorite Writer of Graceful Verse.
Mr. Henry O'Meara of Boston, whose interesting address on "Verse Making" before the Cambridge Art circle has brought him and his works prominently before the Cambridge public, is about to publish a third edition of his charming book of poems entitled "Ballads of America." This will include the many poems of a patriotic nature read by him on such recent occasions as the Lexington Centennial, Columbus Day at Boston, and the like.
Although an active daily newspaper worker, Mr. O'Meara has found time for the cultivation of a naturally distinct poetic tastte. His intensity of patriotic feeling has shown itself in his verse and indeed it might be truly said that in patriotic versification Mr. O'Meara is in the first rank of younger poets of this country. In some writing he also excels, and here his friends say he has an ambition to do a great deal. With a passionate love for music and a sympathetic and sentimental nature, the few songs he has already written show a sweetness of touch and a tenderness of feeling that appeals strongly to the hearer.
In one of several letters to the poet, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote: "I am almost afraid to compliment you on your fresh and beautiful book, after the flattering tribute you have paid me in your dedication and in the poem expecially inscribed to me. I must, however, thank you for the spirited and variously pleasing poems which come to me in a drss which commends them to my taste and makes the new volume a most welcome ornament to my book table. I hope that you will live to give us many more songs of patriotism, friendship and all the generous emotions which find their fitting expression in melodious verse."
John Greenleaf Whittier also paid a pleasant tribute to Mr. O'Meara on one occation, and indeed the number of interesting notices of a biographical and critical nature he has received from the press of the country would fill a small volume. Mr. O'Meara was born in Newfoundland, where he received a thorough collegiate education. He has in fact been a student all of his life and of late years has paid particular attention to the study of poetry, especially the works of the Greek and Latin writers. A public occation of great prominence in Boston is now hardly complete unless Mr. O'Meara sits at the head of the table and reads a verse written especially for the occation.
Personally Mr. O'Meara is one of the most unassuming of men; quiet and retiring in dispositiion and extremely fond of his friends. He has a charming home at the South End, a noble and lovable woman for a wife, and several intteresting children. His library is the ideal poet's "den," filled with books, mainly the classics, and modern poetry. He takes an active interest in Boston affairs and now that Dr. Holmes has retired to his books and slippers, Mr. O'Meara is being looked to give to Boston the sonnets for public occasions that the autocrat has heretofore furnished.
Mr. O'Meara has been a reporter on the Boston Journal staff for the past twelve years and is now the assistant of his brother Stephen O'Meara the general manager of that growing paper.

James F. Ryan, for twenty years official shoe repairer to the Harvard Athletic association teams, and known to hundreds of college men as "Shamrock," was found dead Wednesday morning at the foot of the cellar stairs of his home, 61 Plympton street. His body was discovered by a milkman, who notified station 1. Medical Examiner Swan pronounced death due to a fractured skull.
James F. Ryan was a general favorite with Harvard men ever since his location in the square, his ready wit and clever sayings stamping him as an accepted "mascot" of all the athletic teams. He was 50 years old and was born in St. John's, Newfoundland. He came to this city about thirty years ago and went to work at Wilder's shoe store, at that time located in Harvard square.

His first place of business was at 3 Boylston street. Some years ago he moved to 32 Brattle street. His genial disposition soon secured for him a place with Harvard followers, and his presence with the different teams at all important contests lent encouragement to them. Only a week ago he was at New Haven with the football team, and he had looked forward with great pleasure to the Cornell game, Thanksgiving day, at Philadelphia, having been sent tickets by the management.
He married, twenty-one years ago, at St. Mary's church, Miss Mary Caldwell, of this city. There are no living children. Mr. Ryan was a member of division 21, A. O. H., of the Holy Name society of St. Paul's church, and was president of the Shamrock club of Boston, this latter office causing him to be almost universally known at "Shamrock." He was a former member of company B, 5th regiment, and was a cornetist of some ability.
The funeral was held yesterday morning. Requiem mass was offered at St. Paul's church. Attending the services were many prominent Harvard graduates and undergraduates, together with well known citizens, paying the last respects to him whose associations had been of so pleasant a character. Interment was at St. Paul's cemetery, Arlington.
