Second Day of the Libby Trial-Dwelling louse and Buildings Burned Injured by a Fall. Portland, Jan. 29. Thursday forenoon Libbv’g wife and daugh ter aat with him. lir. Gerrish’s testimony was continued. On cross examination he described the autopsy. The genital organs were like those of a married woman. The mi croscope failed to show any traces of semen within them. Dr. Charles D. Smith testified that he was present at the autopsy. 11 is testimony did nut difler from Dr. Gerrish’s. Libby’s wound showeil tltat the hill passed through his right ear int i the skull, penetrating the brain. There were marks of the burning of powder on Libby, but none on Mins Snow. Libby’s ear still shows the powder discolorations. Smith did not discover traces of alcohol ami detected no other signs of liquor in Libby’s throat. Coroner Jas. S. Gould testified that the bullet passed through the partition. Policemen llathan testified that the bullets found, exactly fitted the exploded shells that were tound in the revolver. .lames T. Coolbroth of Scarboro, testified i 11 seeing Libby in the stable before be came to Portland on September 4th. He was re pairing his revolver. Libby said be was fix ing bis gun to shoot at a mark. Libbv’s son, Veranus, was in the stable at the time. John Wiggin of Scarboro, testified that he saw Libby in the front of his hotel on the morning before the murder. Libby bad a pistol. He said “John, that would make a hole in a man.” The revolver found in the room where Miss Snow was k'lled, resembled i the one that he saw in Libby’s hand. Mrs. Martha 1). Turner of Scarboro, testi fied: Lydia Snow, the murdered woman, came to her house the 9th of August, and brought her trunk. She came with Libby’s l son. The prisoner, Thomas J. Libby, came about an hour after. Libby said “Get vour things on and go to Portland with me Miss j Snow did not wish to. Libbv said: “It will be the worse for you if you don’t.” She got into Libby's carriage ami drove away. They returned at night. Libby called the next night and called for Miss Snow, but she was not there. Mrs. Mary A. Pratt, daughter of Mrs. Turner, corroborated the testimony of her mother, tiovernment here rested, reserving one witness not yet arrived. A. F. Moulton, Esq., opened for the de fence, saying that Libby lias no recollection ot events in the room previous to or at the time of the shooting. Moulton gare a sketch of Libby’s wife, lie w as subject to tits, lie enlisted in 1862 and served honorably, lie was a prisoner at Salsbury Stockade, North aro lina. six months, coming out with Ins c insti tution so shattered that he never recovered. Soon after tie became dissipated. He was al most constantly under the influence of alco hol to within a short time of the shooting. At that time a neighbor died of the delirium tremens, which startled Libby and he tried to reform, but his system w as so accustomed to Iquor that abstinence crazed him. He had several spells after which he re membered nothing he had done This was his condition on the day before the shooting. Moulton claimed that this was a form of in sanity and that the man was not responsible for his action in such a condition. At I 1‘. M., Moulton suspended and the court ad journed until 3 P. M. In the afternoon. Moulton continued for half an hour and closed. Then 11 witnesses were called and sworn for the defence. Most of these were townsmen, comrades in the army and men with whom he had transacted business. They testified that they had known Libby since a child; saw him often and knew his reputation for peaceableness and gentle ness to be good. One witness had seen him when he had thought he had been drinking; saw him the day before the shooting and no ticed a difference in him. The dwelling and farm buildings of J. M. Brown at Bowery Beach, Cape Elizabeth, were destroyed by ffre. Tuesday noon. The loss was two thousand dollars. Insured for $1500. Samuel Tolman, a baker of Portland, fell Thursday, and received a concussion of the brain and is thought to be fatally injured. Washington Co. Teachers Convention. Calais. Jan. 20. Yesterday’s storm caused a limited attend ance at the Washington county teachers con vention, today. Mrs. Lowe of Calais, read a paper on "Aid that the public schools may give to morals,” and Ashley St. Claire of Milltown, another, subject "Inducements to study.” A larger attendance was present than was anticipated.

Some Rough Experices in Portlnn i liar bor—A Schooner Wrecked and Three ol «he Crew Dead—A Schooner Ashore W ith a Dead Captain on Board—Other News. PoRTt.ASD. Jin. 2!i. The steamer Mary W. Libby, plving be tween Ferry Village and this city in the ca pacity' of ferry boat, was probably more ex posed to the rough weatiier in the harbor yes terday than any of the smaller boats. .A man at the Old Slip described her trial “Yes, it was quite a hard day* for the steamer and her crew, said he. “She had her luck on one trip in the forenoon. It was ebb tide at the time and the gale blew furiously. She had nearly reached the landing on the other shore when a blast struck her and run her nearly on to the breakwater, and it was some time before they managed to make the wharf. The I storm raged and everbody wanted to get home without delay, so the captain finally cnncluded to start across. They were only half way across when it was noticed that the drifting ice was making in fast around the vessel. Soon it was impossible to move either way, and there she lay out in the storm for an hour and a half with a small field ofI broken ice on all sides.” Up to this hour no tidings of vessels out in the storm have been received. Boston, Jan 29. A dispatch from St. John, N. B., says A telephone message from St. Martin’s, thirty miles from here, Thursday morning, states that the American three-masted schooner, Ar acana, Capt. Holmes, from Portland, Me., for Bear river, N. S., to load lumber for the j West Indies, went ashore on (^uaco Beef at 2 o’clock, Wednesday P. M., and became a total wreck. Four of the crew reached land, but three died from the cold and exposure. The survivors are in a bad condition, and it is feared connot live. Wednesday was a ter rible day in the Bay of Fundy. It snowed all day, and blew a perfect eale. The ther mometer at times reached as low as 20 (legs, below zero. The point at which the wreck occurred is the most exposed and dangerous in the bay. and the sufferings of the ship wrecked mariners must have been intense. Portland. Jan. 29. A tragic story of the storm of Wednesday is reported. An unknown schooner is ashore near f wo Lights. She is pounding against the rocks and is a picture of helplessness and distress. Her captain is frozen to death The crew are badly frozen. They have not sufficiently recovered to be able to tell their thrilling story. It is evident that they were disabled by the extreme cold and so lost control of the schooner, and she was sacrificed to the breakers. The schooner Helen E. King of Calais, ex perienced the first three hour* of the storm off shore. The crew suffered extremely. Capt. Hinds was frost-bitten. The Dominion steamer Oregon, from Liv erpool, arrived in Portland at 1.30 I*. \L, Thursday. The officers report a terribly rough passage all the way across and a hard day Wednesday. She brought thirty pas sengers ami a full cargo. Schooner Australia, 00 tons, Capt. Clark, of and from Boothbay to Boston, with a cargo of fish, was struck by the blizzard Wednesday, and went ashore and was lost off Cape Elizabeth. The captain was washed overboard and drowned. The crew, one man and boy, took to the rigging, from which they were rescued by the ke- per of the Two Lights ami neighbors. Trie survivors were terribly frozen but it is hoped to save them. THE HATH F VII,I KE. Goss A Sawyer Hunt an Extension and Will Probably Pay in Full. Hath, Jan. 29. The dispatch troni Boston, stating the fail ure of (Joss Sawyer ami Gos. Sawyer Packard of Bath, is giving a wrong impress ion to the public, and it was generally sup posed that the two above firms are the New England Shipbuilding Co., which is now do ing the principal ship building. The two firms sold their ship building interest to the New England Co one year ago. and if (Joss A Sawyer and (Joss, Sawyer Packard do fail, it is said that fact does in no way afiect the N. E. S B. Co's business. (Joss Saw yer an.l Goss. Sawyer Packard have called a meeting of their creditors in Bath the 4th of next month in City HxU and then they will ask for an extension of time—eighteen months—so as to he able to meet their hills, and it the extension is granted it is expected the creditors will be paid in full. The debts of the firms are not know as yet. Capt. Goss is out of town It seems to be the gen eral opinion that the extension will be granted. The liabilities of the firms of Goss Saw yer and (Joss. Sawyer Packard are $300, 000. Capt. Goss estimates the assests at $600,000. W. II.T'S Defeat the J. I>. R’s. Lewistow, Jan. 3!*. Polo in the Maine State League series, between the J. D.

The vessel which was towed into Plymouth today, with the crew in a state of mutiny, was the British bark Wellington, from Havre for New York. When the vessel was brought in. her name was painted out. The mutiny occurred Monday, off the Sicily Islands. The three seamen who were injured were seri ously hurt by pistol shots. The captain's body was found on board when the vessel reached Plymouth. Later particulars concerning the mutiny on hoard the bark Wellington are given by the crew. The ship left Havre for New York «m Jan. 21. Capt. Armstrong was in com mand. He had been drinking for several days before he left port, and when be got out to sea he increased bis libations until they brought on an attack of delirium tremens. This culminated on the 25tli inst when the vessel was 400 miles west of the Sicily Is lands, m a spirit of ferocity which impelled its victim to imagine certain members of the crew to be m mutiny. On that day he had the boatswain, carpenter and steward put in irons for four hours for tome imaginary offense. The next day he assaulted the car penter. and placing a revolver at his throat fired Owing to the captain's unsteadiness the bullet missed its mark and wounded a seaman The captain, evidently maddened by his tailure, swore he would shoot every man aboard, and began to flourish the re volver. The crew closed in upon him to disarm him. He struggled desperately, and was thrown down with such violence that bis skull was fractured again-t the deck and he died seven hours later. THE WAR (1.01 I). The Latest New* Irani the Soudan— Gloomv Prospect. London, Jan. 20. Advices received at Hamdab last night con cerning the expedition which left therefor Berber mi Monday last under Gen. Earle, state that the black watch and Staffordshire regiments arrived at Kabel. El Abok Cata rack, yesterday. Before reaching the cata ract the Arabs attacked them hut were driven off. The news concerning the operations of unfriendly Arabs along the Bed Sea continues to grow more serious. Massawah is almost in a state of siege, with gloomy prospects of relief The Arabs make attacks in force almost every evening upon Suakim. and dur ing the dark the firing against the garrison is almost continual. The garrison has been greatly strengthened by the arrival of 400 British troops.

Defeat of the Sicnracne Treaty in the Senate—Connection of the I’nited state* With the Congo Con ference—An Ancieut Document. Washington. Jan 2!*. The consular anti diplomatic appropriation bill was ordered to be reported to the Senate today bv the committee on appropriation* The principal additions made bv the Senate committee are as follows To carry out the provisions of the neutrality act, $12,000; to enable the President to meet unforeseen emergencies arising in the diplomatic and consular service, and to extend the counter ciai and other interest* of the I'niled States. 95O.000; to meet the expenses of introducing and extending American commerce in the Congo valley, $500. It is estimated at the treasury department that there will be a decrease of over $5,000, 000 in the public debt during tlie present month. The Senate went into executive session at 12.33 today and suspended, the vote of last night on Senator Vance’s motion to postpone. Action on the Nicaraguan treaty was contin ued, and resulted in the defeat of the motion by a vote of 22 to 25. Senator Sherman's amendment looking to the abrogation or modification of the Clayton-Buiwer treaty was then discussed for some hours, and com ing to a vote in the committee of the whole, w as defeated by a vote of 27 to 28. The second Sherman amendment relating to dis criminations in tolls, was defeated without division. The treaty was then reported to the Senate, and the vote on the Sherman amendment relating to the Clayton-Bulwer treaty was again taken, resulting in its adoj# tion by a vote of 30 to 10. A vote w as then taken on the treaty itself, and 32 senators voted for its ratification while 23 voted against it. The affirmattve vote being less than two thirds of the whole number voting, the treaty was not ratified. Senator Kuldleberger was the onlv man in the republican side who voted in the nega tive. Several democratic Senators voted in the affirmative, among them Senators Jonas, Jones of Florida, McPherson, Maxey, Pen dleton, Morgan and Punh. A motion will undoubtedly be made to re consider the vote upon the ratification. The change in front upsn the Sherman amend ment is explained thus Several Senators who favored the amendment but were op posed to the treaty voted against the Amend ment in the committee of the whole, fearing that its adoption would help the treaty When the treaty was reported to the Senate and the vote recurred on the Sherman amend ment, some of the lrients of the treaty who were opposed to the amendment voted in the affirmative, as a means of winning support to the treaty itself, the failure of which, if una mended. was foretold by the votes in the committee of the whole. Secretary Chandler today telegraphed in- j structions fur the United States steamer I Wachusett to proceed to Guayaquil, Ecuador, for the protection of Julio K. Santos, a nat- uralized American citizen, imprisoned there j for alleged complicity in a rebellion and j whose speedy execution is apprehended. In response to the House resolution calling for information respecting the participation of the United States in the Congo conference, I the President today, sent to the House the I report submitted by the secretary of State. Henry S. Sanford, the secretary says, was appointed associate delegate on behalf of the United States, to be governed by the instruc tions sent to Kasson. Kasson and Sanford have confined their propositions to matters affecting commercial intercourse with the whole region without advancing any plan af fecting the political tenure of divers territo ries. Henry M. Stanley, the secretary says, j was not delegated to represent the United States, and the impression that he has been, probably originated with the fact that Mr. Stanley was personally introduced to the conference bv Mr. Kasson. While in executive session the Senate adopted a resolution removing the injunction of secrecy as to the deliberations as far as to permit of the printing of sundsv docu ments relating to the treaties with Nicaragua. Among tie se documents is the original mes sage of President Zacharav Taylor, of April 22nd. 1*50, transmitting the UUyton-Bulwer treaty to the Senate, which has not, up to this time, been presented The National Republican of this city w ill print the text of tins message tomorrow, and also the vote by which the treaty was ratified, which has never been made public, from which it appears the rote stood 42 to 11 on the question of ratification In hi* message to the Senate President Taylor “aid ibis treaty has been negotiated in accordance with the general view* expressed in my message to Congress in December last. Its object is to establish commercial alliance with all the tfreat mari time States, for the protection of the con templated ship (anal through the terri tory of Nicaragua, to connect the At lantic and Pacific oce ans, and at the same time to secure the same protection to the con templated railways or cana* by the Tehuan tepec aud Panama routes, as well as to every other inter-oceanic communication which may be adopted to shorten transit to and from our Territories in the Pacific ocean It givt* no preference to any one route over any other, but propose* the same measure of protection jnr all, which ingenuity and en terprise can construct. Should this treaty he ratified it will secure in the future libera tion of ail Central America from any kind of foreign coercion It has been my object in negotiating this treaty not only to secure a passage across the Isthmus to the govern ment and citizens of the United States bv the construction of a great highway dedicated to the use of all nations on equal terms, hut to maintain the independence and sovereignty of all Central American republics. A SECRET row-wow. Cleveland Said to be Dissatisfied With the Situation at Washington. Ai.bast, Jan. 2ft. What appeared to he a sensational para graph was printed in the Journal this evening It was to the effect that the President Elect Cleveland was visited late last night by ex Speaker Randall, in response to a letter of invitation sent him in Washington. Im mediately after his arrival here Randall was driven to Cleveland's temporary abode,where the two men held a conference which lasted several hours. This forenoon the talk was continued, and at its conclusion Randall re turned to New York. Speaker Carlisle was also mentioned as having been invited by Cleveland, and is expected to arrive Satur day forenoon. Col Lament today corrobo rated the fact that Randall was here and in consultation with the president elect, and that Carlisle is expected, but beyond that he is extremely reticent. Rumor has it that the president elect is not satisfied with the way things are going on in Congress, and he j wants Massrs. Randall and Carliale adopt! some fresh and vigorous policy. SPARKS.

However, the brethren who are in the city will make the best of the situation and no doubt have a profitable and pleasant time. MAINE LEGISLATURE Senate Thursday, Jan. 2D. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Holbrook of Hallowell. Papers from the House dispose.! of in con currence. Bill an act to incorporate the Frost Brook Dam Co. came up for its first reading, and was laid on the table and ordered to be print ed, on motion of Mr. Young. The Senate receded and concurred in the action of the House in its amendment of the report of the Committee on Governor’s Mes-1 sage so as to refer the subject of a State board of health and State hoard of charities to the Judiciary Committee instead of to a joint special committee as recommended by i the report. On motion of Mr. Rav, Ordered. That the Committee on Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the expediency of so amending chaps, G5 and 71 of the revised statutes that Judges of Probate may be au thorized to make allowances to widows and minor children out of the real as well as per sonal estate of deceased persons. Mr. Roak,from the Committee on Towns, reported ought to pass on bill an act supple mentary to chap. 282 of the private and speci al laws of 1877 relating to the Ticonic bridge between VVaterville and Winslow; printed unaler rule. Mr. Bragdon,from the same committee, re ported ought to pass on bill an act to incorpo rate the Plantation of Allegasli in the county of Aroostook printed under rule. Mr. Si monton,from the Joint Special Com mittee on State Printing and Binding, on or der,reported a contract with Messrs. Sprague Son to tin the State printing.and a contract with Messrs. Smith Reid to do the State binding for, the years 1885 and 188G. Keai> and Assigned. An act relating to the jurisdiction of mu nicipal and police judges and trial justices in prosecutions for violation of the fish and game law; an act additional to and amenda tory ot an act to incorporate the Cedar Brook and Swift Kiver Improvement Co an act in addition to and amendatory of chap. 876 of the private and special laws ot 1877, entitled an act to incorporate the Brvant’s Pond and Andover Telegraph Co an act to amend an act to incorporate the Van Buren lumbering and Manufacturing Co resolve appropriat ing $800 for the St. Elizabeth Catholic Or- phan Asylum of Portland: an act to change the time of holding the terms of the Supreme Judicial Court in Oxford county; [provides that terms shall be held on the second Tues days ot October and February, instead of the time now fixed, and provides for the holding of a term on the first Tuesday in May without grand or traverse juries unless otherwise or dered by the presiding judge. Passed to re Engrossed. An act to confirm and make valid the or ganization and doings of the Proprietors of Westbrook Social Library; an act to amend secs 1 and 2 of chap. 122 of the revised statutes.relative to the penalty for the crime of perjury. Mr. Weeks presented the petition of J. fl. Haley and 28 others for a law to prevent the throwing of sawdust and other refuse into the Kennebec river, and moved that it be re 'erred to the Committee on the Judiciary. He said such petitions would ordinarily go to the Committee on Interior Waters: but in the present case there was a dispute between mill men, ice men, and men engaged in fish ing. navigation and booming logs, as to their legal rights on the river, and he thought the Judiciary Committee the proper place to send th“ petition. Mr. Nve moved to amend the motion by substituting the Committee on Interior Waters. He deemed this the appropriate committee to have charge of the matter, and if any question of law arose thev could re port a reference of the subject to the Legal Affairs or Judiciary Committee. Mr. Weeks said there was another reason why his motion should prevail. On the Com mittee on Interior Waters were three lumber men. one of whom was an owner in a mill that had caused a good deal of trouble to the petitioners. He did not desire to cast upon any of the committee anv reflection. He did not know how they would regard the matter; hut he had no doubt they would try to act fairly. The main ground, however, on which his motion should prevail was the le gal principles, involved, which could best be considered bv legal gentlemen. The motion of Mr. Nye was lost, and the petition was then referred to the Committee on Judiciary. Mr. Bearce, from the Committee on Banks and Banking, reported ought not to pass on bill an act additional to chap. 47 of the re vised statutes, relating to deposits and the withdrawal of the same from savings hanks. Mr. Simonton moved that the report be recommitted to the committee, because he thought it could not have been fully under stood by them. The proposition was to allow small amounts deposited in savings banks to be withdrawn after the decease of the owner of the bank book, by any person to whom an order has been given The law now shuts out an order of this kind, and requires administration with its attending expense, however small the deposit mav be. lie had submitted the matter to the bank examiner and to many hank men, and they saw no ob jection to such a bill as the one contemplated. It would be a great benefit to the banks and to small depositors. Mr. Kimball remarked that he was not present at the meeting of the committee at which the bill was passed upon, hut from his experience of a quarter of a century as treas urer of a savings bank, he thought the com mittee did just right He saw no necessity for such a law. The hank book passes with the order and becomes the property of the person to whom the amount is made payable I at the time the order is given. It becomes a valid transfer for any amount and can be col lected at any time. He undertook to say that no bank in the State would hesitate to "honor the order and transfer of a deposit book in that bank when satisfied of the genuineness of the signature. No law that could be en acted would make it any stronger. Mr. Simonton replied that the last speaker might be correct; but if so. he [Mr. Simon ton] had always been wrong in his under standing of the law A power of attorney is revoked by death. An order for the payment of monev at a savings bank given by a depositor is good during the life of that depositor; but if he revokes it (and his death is a revo cation) no bank officer who understands the law. would pay it. If depositor has control of book and power to draw, the transfer or order is revocable. The payee of the order must be absolutely invested with the proper ty, as the law stands, or death will leave the deposit as part of the depositor's estate and necessitate administration. His proposition was that any person might designate on his deposit book, in the presence of two witness es, the person to whom the deposit shall be paid at his decease, and that such payment snail be a full discharge of the corporation. Mr. Bearce stated that the committee care fully considered the subject and could see no necessity for further legislation; but he hoped the report would be recommitted in order that the Senator from Knox [Mr. Simonton] might have an opportunity to present to the committee his views. Mr. Libbey understood that a habit pre vails with some banks of making agreements with their depositors to the effect that certain amounts, perhaps not exceeding a hundred dollars, may be oaid over to the heirs of any depositor, under certain circumstances, with out administration, and such payment to be a valid discharge of the bank. If he understood the object of the bill it was simply to legalize and make general that practice. The report was then recommitted. On motion of Mr. Young, bill an act to amend sec. 25 of chap. 40 of the revised statutes, relating to the taking of clams and shell fish was taken from the tahle and pass ed to be engrossed under a suspension of the rule, on motion of Mr. Kimball. On motion of Mr. Young, an act to author ize the Maine Central Railroad Company to form steamboat connections was taken from the table and passed to be enacted. Resolve in favor of the Maine Insane Hos pital came up on its passage to be engrossed. Mr Marble desired to know why the au thorities had exceeded the amount appropri ated two years ago for the enlargement of the hospital, and called upon the chairman of the committee for an explanation. Mr. Cole quoted from page 8 of the report of the institution in explanation of how the appropriation had been expended. When the appropriation was made in 1883 for the new pavilions the legislature did not take into consideration the building of tram ways and corridors, and other matters abso lutely necessary, if the buildings were to be used. The trustees consulted the Governor and Council, and finally concluded to con tract for the completion of the work, and they are now in debt a little more than twenty eight thousand dollars Mr. Parkhurst.a member of the committee, explained as to the heating apparatus, the tramways and corridors, and the water sup ply, and stated that the expenditure for these purposes was necessary in order to make it possible to use the buildings that had been erected. Mr. Marble made no opposition to the re solve, but as the proceeding seemed so extraordinary, be thought some explanation due the Senate. As a rule sueli a course as bad been taken in exceeding the ap propriation should not be tolerated, because it *a er Brook Plantation in Aroostook county: ho act to amend sec. 21 chap. 59 of the r-vised statutes relative to the records of death: an act to uhange the name of the West Water vtlle Savings Bank; an act to extend the powers of the town of Brunswick an act to authorize the First Parish of Falmouth to sell and convev certain lands; an act to make valid the doings of the town of Concord an act to make valid the doings of the town of Oldtown.

It can be cured by Brown’s Sarsaparilla. This is not a “quack” preparation, nor is it a patent medicine. It is a scientific Remedy, prepaid for the Stomach, Liver and Kidneys, which are the fountain heads of nearly all the ills of mankind. It compounded from a formula of the late Wm. II. Brown, M. of Bangor, Me. Dr. Brown was a highly educated physician who had a reputation for outside the limits of his own State. He was a graduate of Bo«doin College, 1842, and Harvard Medical school, 1850, finishing his education for his chosen pro>cV»ioB in Europe, and he was known as the talented physician who was sure to be called in to all critic mJL where medical skill was required. He was the lamily physician of Chief .las*ice Peters of Maine, I* w*n as of Hon. C. A. Boutelle, M. C., Bangor; Hon. T. N Egery, Judge Humphrey, present Vl.i-or of Bangor, and many others. w Hon. J. P. Bass Ex-^Iayor of Bangor, says: Some two year* since I was afflicted with Dyspepsia in its worst form. I consulted the b know* physicians in this section, in Boston, and in New York, without any beneficial results. About one y**tr ago I began to use Brown’s Sarsaparilla, and from that time I have con’inued to improve. I have go* back to my usual weight, having gained since I began to use Brown's Sarsaparilla, over .15 pounds. I oon sider Brown’s Sarsaparilla the best remedy for Indigestion I have ever used. J. p. Strong Statement from a Well-Known Kailrond man. Everyone knows Wm. A. Cromwell, the General Eastern Passenger Agent of the I>ake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad. Mr. Cromwell is a very active man, living most of his time on railroad train* Naturally he sometimes finds himself out of condidion, ard savs ttiat when In need of anv medicine h&« always takeu Brown’s Sarsaparilla. **I consider it,” says Mr. Cromwell, ‘the best tiling for indigestiol and troubles with th blood or kidneys that has ever coine to my notice, and to railroad men, who* from the very nature of their occupation, are easy subjects to Kiduey and Liver troubles, I would’say you win find a powerful friend in Brown’s Sarsaparilla.” 7 1 From a Well-Known Clergymnu. Rev. Theo. H. Gerrish is pastor of the Pine St. M. K church in Bangor. Mr. Gerrish is also the author of the "Blue and tile Gray,” and “Reminiscences of the War.” Mr. Gerrish served as a private during the war, and has a record gathered on various battle fields which few men made. Following his double work of pastor and author, Mr. Gerrish came to be In ill health, and, so seiious was his case that he gave up the ministry fora time A member of his iamily became afflicted about this time with a serious Kidney trouble, and this additional burden was thrown upon Mr Gerrish. Physicians wets employed many leinedles tried, and everyihing that fond friends coul i suggest was done. 'I.ittle or no benefit was’ derived lrom these, and hope had almost given way to despair when Brown's .Sarsaparilla was recommend ed. It was tried, the patient recovered, and is now in good health. Mr. Gerrish is opposed gmersllv speaking, to the use of his name in connection with a patent medicine, but so much benefit has been d* rived from Brown’s Sarsaparilla that be freely consents to its use here.

V V II row it of Watrrvllle* Elected Chalr in no—How Ctinrlea Morton was Snubbed by ilie Committee. Tue democratic State committee met at Hotel North last evening for organization. The tight for the chairmanship waxed hot thr* ughout the day in the corridors of the hotel. Cromwell worked like a beaver and could he seen at most any hour button-holing a member in some corner. S. S. Brown of Watorville, well known as a member of the (iarcelon council, carried ofl the plum, how evi-r. by a vote of 8 in his favor to 7 for W* A. Oromwe II. Kimball of Oxford did not vote. Srrcral of the members were death on Cromwell and would not vote for him on account of their repugnance to a one-man power. He It Ail evidently been trying to do some bossing and the members in the north part of the State kicked. Tabulator Chase lead the Brown forces. S. VV. (lould of Somerset was chosen secretary. 1 he com mittee is now constituted as follows Aroostook—K. S. Baiter. Androscoggin—W. W. Sanborn. Cumberland—C. 11. Chase. Franklin—S. Holman. Hancock—L. B.

Waldo—Charles Baker. Washington—B. F. Milliken. York -W. A. Cromwell. One nt the members being absent, ex-ttov. f’laisted was elected to till the vacancy. Charles Morton got ingloriouslv snubbed by the committee, lie entered the wigwam and presented a petition asking for his appoint ment as postmaster of Augusta, for the ap provalof the committee. The members at once set down hard on the would-be postmaster,and tabled the petition in short order. It is need less to say. perhaps, that the junior editor of the New Age was much exercised in his mind and after the meeting talked to one of his brethren in a not very modest manner. One of the committee informed us last evening that if Charles Morton was nom nated for postmaster of Augusta a remonstrance from leading democrats of the State would immediately be for warded to Senators Frye and Hale and they would be requested to oppose his confirma tion. The New Age also got a snubbing. The proprietors wanted to make it the party organ, which proposition was quickly stepped on. The meeting was rather stormy taken a« a whole, and some of the recriminations and language used after the adjournment are not suitable for publication. l4W 4*D OHDKB LEAUn: ■•Cd Day.

W. Perry, secretary of the lodge, pre sented the following resolution for adoption: I ai*H,0*oed’ That this convention pledge itself in n«id“‘f ly,htoJ,0“'°n|rfor »ucti men toehold public oHJc-s in the State ann nation us shall advocate and S™E.‘“di a" fa,r ,h*'ir ““‘y enforce the prohibitory law of the state, and for such members tion0nKrw. E«q., moved that the resolution be referred to the executive committee. Mr. Bean said the resolution was not to throw a firebrand bv any means. In my town we want to enforce the law. and we want to give rnmsellers to understand that we are going to semi men to the legislature a.id Congress who shall support the temper ance cause If there are not men to he found in the great paries to stand up for temperance, then I am sorry. But I do not believe this is the ca«e. I do not think it will do any damage t> pass this resolve. The chairman read a clause in the consti t ltioil giving tile objects of the league, and thought the gentlemen in their remarks should confine their remarks to the constitu tion. Hev. Mr. LeLacheur, who Imd just come in, said he had an idea that the resolve was of a political character and wished to hear it read. The chairman read it, and Mr. LeLacheur pronounced it as strongly political. It had come u]) here before temperance conventions ill August for several years past and has al wavs been voted down, he said. On motion of Mr. LeLacheur the resolve was laid on tin) table, after a statement from Mr I’crrv that it came under article 2d of the constitution. Joshua Nye, on behalf of the committee, presented a draft of resolutions for subordi nate leagues,which was accepted by the meet ing. It was substantially in accord with those of the State constitution. Hev. Mr White objected to fixing the fees for admission to subordinate leagues. Hev. Mr. LeLacheur: We deemed it ad visable to nut a clause in the constitution making the f e not than 81. Joshua Nve I nob n’t give a straw for an organizat' >n wl.i.-h li\es it fees at less than 81. Mv experience lias been that those societies which admit members f ir small sums were not long Iiveil. Hev. I). B. Randall asked what disposition is made of the funds raised by the local leagues. Rev. Mr. LeLacheur stated that subordin ate leagues would use their funds for their own purpose, to he expended bv an executive committee. The draft for a constitution presented by the Committee was then adopted. Hev. Mr. Munson l believe our Governor and legislators are willing to do about the right thing if they can And out what it is. We find in 1‘ortland that it is absolutely necessary to have more law. and we ask for these amendments. If we do not have more law it will cost the County of Cumberland from 825.(XX) to 850,000 in the next few months. We must have the law changed so that the existence of a dump and other appliances shall be taken as evidence. If we go into the work earnestly for the next year, it will cost the State from 8125,000 to 8150,000. I don't believe the legislature will vote to make the county of Cumberland and the State so murh expense Mr. Munson urged that the league instruct its executive committee, or raise a committee to present an address to the people through the press, advocating the adoption of the amendment proaented to the legislature. The league instructed the committee to raise the proposed address. (ieo. E. Brackett made a statement in re gard to “The Temperance Record" which is published by him, the subscription price being bO cents a vear. Rev. Mr. Randall moved that the exec utive committee select such amendments to the liquor law, from those proposed as shall he deemed absolutely necessary, and urge the committee on temperance of the legislature to report favorably upon them. (Jen Dow objected to Mr. Randall's mo tion. He thought it would be taking hack tracks, and advised going to the committee manfully. 1 cannot see a word in the amend ment that should l e stricken out. Mr. Randall did not think the legislature would adopt an omnibus bill. Mr I)|1W and Mr. Randall indulged in a sharp discussion. Or Warren believed that the amendments might he presented in milch less compass than when they were before the committee on Tnetdav evening. Mr. Munson did not believe in boiling the amendments down Mr. I’errv thought the amendments should be put in shape. Mr. Nve said: Let us ask for what we want, and then the responsibility will lie upon the legislature. Dr. Allen thought the amendments should he submitted to the league. On motion of Mr. Nve it was voted that the executive committee take the amend ments into consideration and put them in shape lor the legislative committee to act upon that the amendments be presented to the league at a meeting in Union Hall next Tuesday afternoon for ratification. Adjourned. Afternoon Session. The afternoon session was opened bj music at 2 o’clock. l)r Warren made some remark-* in which |,e said that it is felt very generally by the friends of temperance that the la«t quarter of a eenturv has been favorsnle to the temper ance cause. We are the spectacle of the world, and it looks with wonder on the ad vancement we have made in the cause of tem perance The enforcement of the liquor Faw« is the purpose for which this Law and Order League has been formed. The organ isation differs from other organizations m this one tiling, it takes the law of the State as it is. The question now is Shall the prohibitory law of the State be executed? The branch leagues should be organized all over the State, it i, found in Portland that a city league is mere effective than any other organization er tried there. You go to the City Hall to-day and you will find, not only hundreds of kegs, hut innumerable wash-tub«, pitchers, tea-pots, and innumerable household imoU tli'to ,hSt l>*'rV hl**n *eized liquor 10 Rev. C. C fane of B •wdoiiham, being called, said. In 1832 I was commissioned b. the American Temperance Society, and the American Anti-Slavery Society of New Yo--k to come down into Maine and stir up the temperance question. In those days, advo eating temperance was taken almost as an evidence of insanity. More titan 20 vear* «go we used to organize just such clubs as these for the enforceuient of the first liquor law we had. Hon. T. R. Simonton of the Senate, being called upon, said Men meet me on the street and say sneeringly. “Well, you are not going to ask for anv more legislation, are you? And I say, “Yes; we are going to a»k for the enforcement of the Constitutional Amend ment!” People say that we have not made any gain in the cause of temperance. Oh, what a base slander! When I was a boy I rode out into the country, and at every little village I saw a country tavern with men hanging around it to spend their money; and 1 saw in the tumbled down build ings, and the ragged looking women and children the work of ruin wrought bi rum. An old gentleman that I was talking with recently told me that 40 or 50years ago' even church members could not be got-; ten to sign the pledge. As Senator and one of the temperance committee. I ant in favor of the strongest legislation that can he put in force. If a man robs. steals, or kills. in the heat of passion, I can have some sympathy for him, but. if a man sells poison, that is killing the men who drink it. I have not a whit ot sym pathy with him. We must put the law in force that we now have. We want to re ceive light from all sources to show what is the most effective way of putting the con stitutional amendment in force, and then 1 am in favor of that course. There is no need of any body getting hurt by this law unless he wants to. Mr. Munson of Portland, said: I hope that our representatives may do what I be lieve G >.d will out it in their hearts to do. We want to talk less and act more. We want to strike rum shops, not with the thunder of our eloquence, but with the lightning of our deeds. What would you do to enforce tne law in the citv of Augusta? I would get out warrants every day in the week, and if they do business on that day, get them out on Sunday I have sworn out 210 warrants in IK days in the citv of Portland.

CONY, Administrator. Jan. S, 1*86. janSdtf Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, Employed promptly, In eases of Colds, Coughs, Hoarseness, Sore Throat, Loss of Voice, and Influenza, prevents their becoming serious, and speedily restores to health those who are thus affected. This remedy is, in the highest degree, curative, and for Laryngitis, Bronchitis, Asthma, Quinsy, or Catarrh, no other preparation is so effi cacious. We further state, with all confidence, that Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Cures Incipient Consumption. Consumption is tiie blighting plague of our nation. In its silent march through the land, it is stealing away from our homes thousands of the brightest aud best of their inmates. If, however, the disease is taken in time, its terrible rav ages may be prevented by the use of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. Prof. F. Sweet zer, of the Maine Medical School, Bruns wick, Me., writes: “Medical science has produced no other anodyne expectorant so good as Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. It is invaluable for diseases of the throat and lungs.” George E. Wilson, Battle Creek. Mich., writes: Twenty-nine years have been added to my life by Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. I had been given up to die, with what luv physicians and friends supposed was Consumption. I was weak and emaciated, and coughed incessantly. I procured a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pecto ral, and. before it was all taken, I was about my business. I have been a strong and healthy man ever since.” Mrs. S. II. Jackson, Far Kockawav, L. I., writes: "Ayer’s Cherry rectoral saved me from Consumption, many years ago.” A. C. Bell. New Glasgow, X. S.. writes: “More iInn twenty years since, when a young man. I had a terrible cough, for a lorig time. My system was run down, and my friends thought T was going into a de nine. By the use of Ayer's Cherry Pec toral, the alarming symptoms disappeared, and I speedily recovered my health.” In nil cases of sudden ailments, affecting the throat and lungs, the immediate use of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral is of the highest importance. It may always be depended upon in such cases, and for the effective treatment of these maladies, occupies a place, as a household remedy, that can be filled by no other preparation. Mr. Samuel Bement, Principal of Bartlett School, Lowell, Mass., writes: “I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral for several years, in cases of severe cold, or throat affections, and always found it a speedy and effectual remedy.” Mr. II. L. Simpson, Rogers. Texas, writes: “I contracted a severe cold, which suddenly developed into Pneumonia, presenting dangerous and obstinate symptoms. My physician at once ordered the u«e of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. His instructions were followed, and the result was a rapid and permanent cure.” H. H. Woodal. Editor ‘•Demo crat.” McCounellsburg, Pa., writes: “Ayer's Cherry Pectoral has saved my life. After having suffered for some time from a disease of the lungs, induced by bad colds, and, when my friends thought I could not recover, I tried Aver'a Cherry Pectoral. In three months I was well.” Horace Fairbrother. Rockingham. Vt.. writes: “A severe cold affected my lungs. I had a terrible cough, and the doctors finally gave me up. Ayer's Cherry Pectoral relieved my lungs, and, by its continued use, effected a permanent cure." Ayers Cherry Pectoral, PREPARED BY Dr. J. C. Ayer A Co., (Analytical Chemists), Lowell, Mass.
