Grover Cleveland Invites the Noted P«l tiean to llis Home in Order to “Work*’Him for some Point*. Ai.nnsv. N Y.. Jan. 30. Speaker Carlisle, accompanied by his wife, arrived here this evening from New York, and immedately went to rooms prepared for them in the Delevan house, lie afterwards was driven with Col. Lament to President elect Cleveland’s residence. The letter in answer to which Carlisle came to Albany is understood to have stated that the president-elect would he glad to see him and avail himself of any suggestions that Carlisle might have to offer in regard to the measures.and men for the cabinet. It is believed that Carlisle, while he will not accept a cabinet position, is very anxious that Cleveland shall appoint a tariff reformer as secretary of the treasury. He does not urge the selection of a pronounced free trader, but will be satisfied with a man of modern reform views. Carlisle passed the evening with the gov ernor. and it is thought will leave tomorrow. John Beyle O'Reilly and John E. Fitzgerald, prominent citizens of Boston, called upon the President-elect todav and had a long con versation with him. Cleveland was in his usual afflable mood, although complaining of suffenug from a cold. The visit of these gentlemen is reported to have been lor the purpose of advocating the appointment of Congressman Collins or some other Irich American for a cabinet position. These gentlemen denied this, and said that their object was solely to shake the hand of Grover Cleveland, in whose election thev took a prominent part in New England. National silver Convention. Denver. Col., Jan. 30. In the national silver convention this morning the committee on resolutions pre sented a majority and minority report. The first advocates the enforcement of the Bland act to its limit, thus securing the coining of 4.000.000 silver dollars monthlv. The mi nority report favors free, unlimited coinage. It is not likely that either of these reports will be adopted as presented. Ad Apprehended Disaster. Tocsostows, Ohio.. Jan. 30. At a meeting of the iron manufacturers of Mahoning Valiev, at Cleveland, last night, it was resolved, in view of the high wages west and low prices east, it would be advisable to close down all the mills of the valley from the middle of Febuary till the first of June. FROM WASHINGTON. -NATIONAL HOARD OF TRADE. Friday's session in ashington—Impor tant Resolutions Adopted. Washixotox, Jan. ;>0 At today s session of the National BurJ of Trade, resolutions were adopted requesting Congress to make an appropriation to remove obstructions in the Columbia river in Oregon, and to amend the national bank act to make the primitive features of law more apparent, especially the limit therein expressed ot loan ing money not in txeess of onu-tenth of the capital of the bank, to any one corporation or individual. A resolution was also adopted endorsing the bill now before Congress, to establish a department of commerce. The question of foreign discrimination against American pork, presented bv the Chicago board of trade, was taken up and the resolutions of the Chicago board adopted. The question of reciprocity with Canada was then taken up on a resolution of the New York board of trade and transportation. The resolution favors a reciprocity treaty with Canada. An animated discussion followed a motion by Henry of New York to adopt this resolu tion The resolution was finally agreed to. Then the general question of reciprocity treaties was referred to the executive council for a report at the next meeting ol the board. Resolutions of the Philadelphia board of trade in regard to the removal of disabilities in the shape ol taxes and policies on com mercial travellers, endorsing the Brewer hill now before Congress for the removal of such j disabilities, was agreed to. The next question, that of adopting the resolution of the New York board of trade favoring the establishment of a government postal telegraph, provoked a great deal of opposition, but was adopted finally—111 trning at GreenTille, N. J. The tram was composed of four cars; two coach, parlor coach, combination smoker and express car. Just beyond Greenville the forward trucks of the smoker left the rails and the car bounded along on the sleepers. As it passed the switch, with a Anal bound it dashed into a train of coal cars standing on the siding. The whole side of the oar was torn out and the furniture and fittings piled up in confusion upon the terrified passengers. One passenger car was turned over on its side, and the next stood upon end. with the rear car partly under i!. About TO passen gers were on board, and it is remarkable that many were not killed outright As far as can be ascertained ten passengers were in jured. The rear brakeman broke the upper w indow of the rear coach and helped out the passengers. A newsboy says that he was in the rear car. and after the car had bumped along for a few moments it stood on end and then he fell over the stove and was pulled out of the window. Tne overturned stoves set fire to the wreck in several places, but the flames w ere extinguished bv the efforts the brakeman and several of the rescued passengers. A Long Branch express train came along nine minutes after the disaster, but was stopped by danger signals. A spec ial train was sent from Jersey City and brought hack the passengers from the trains. Those from Philadelphia were all more or less the wor»e for their shaking up. The track is torn up for a considerable distance anil the tender and cars piled up m a con fused mass. 'Piie cause ot the accident cannot be ascertained, but it is certain that the cars were off the track for some dis tance beyond the switch, thus proving that the latter w as not the cause of the disaster. In view of the speed at which the train w as running at tin* time of the accident, it is con sidered marvelous that the casualty was not more serious than it was. The train w as going at the rate of JO miles per hour, and yet no person was killed and no one received injuries which are considered fatal. Both tracks were blocked and the passengers were transferred around the wreck. The engineer and conductor of the train are both old and experienced employees. SPARKS.

The best element of the democratic par tv suffered a defeat when Mr. Cromwell was set aside as chairman of the demo cratic State committee. There is little progress in the Senatorial contest in Oregon, where the republicans are scattering their votes, and in Arkan sas, where the democrats indulge in a similar pastime. In Oregon, ex-Senator Williams has doubled his vote it is now four. The Aroostook Republican reports that there is not so much democratic harmony over custom house affairs in that district as represented. A very animated contest is going on between several candidates for a deputy collector’s place at Fort Fair field. There is nobody knows what Cleveland is going to do. How should they know when he himself is taking his first lessons in the management of national affairs P He is blundering around trying to select a Cabinet, and as to the question of what policy he will pursue, no man call tell what he will do. These are the effects of electing a man for Presi dent who is a novice in statesman ship and has no record as a man of public affairs by which the country can judge what the policy of his administra tion will be. If a veteran statesman of the democratic party had been elected President, democrats and all business men would have known what course the ad ministration would steer. At present they are lost in the heavy fog which the elec tion has produced. MAINE LEGISLATURE Senate. Friday, Jan. 30. Prayer bv Rev. Mr. Holmes of Hallowell.

Prayer hv the Chaplain. Papers from the Senate disposed of in con currence. The petition of J. H Haley and 28 others for an act to prevent the throwing of sawdust and refuse into the Kennebec river, came from the Senate referred to the Committee on Judiciary. Mr. Walton of Skowhegan. said that he thought the petition related to a matter which peculiarly belonged to the Commitee on Inte rior Waters, and he therefore, moved to non concur, and amend by referring the petition to that committee. Mr. Hinckley of Georgetown said that he hoped the amendment would not be accepted that it was a matter in which the inhabitants of the Kennebec valley are all interested in a particular sense, anil he thought it should not go before the Committee on Interior Waters, from the fact that it embraces the entire length of the river, aad as he under stood, very great questions of right and law were involved, and he Imped that the House would concur in the action of the Senate. Mr. Walton replied that he understood that all the questions of law involv -d in this mat ter were now before the law court of this State, and it seemed to him to be out of place to attempt to anticipate what the law court might do that the only question seemed to he a question of fact, which he thought should be looked into by the Committee on Interior Waters. Mr. Hincklev said that he believed that the Committee on Interior Waters was made up largely of that class whose interest called them all in one direction, and he thought the matter would be more disinterestedly consid ered before the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Dickey of Ft. Kent, thought no other committee was so well qualified to examine into the subject as the Committee on Interior Waters, and he hoped it would be referred to that committee. The petition was then referred to the Com mittee on Interior Waters bv a vote of 4(5 to 15. The act to make valid the organ ization and doings of the proprie tors of the Westbrook social library came from the Senate, passed to be engrossed, and on motion of Mr. Heath of Augusta, it had its three several readings and was passed to be engrossed under a suspension of the rules.

Mr. Dickey of Ft. Kent, made the follow ing motion That when the House adjourn, it be to meet on Monday next at 11 o’clock in the afternoon. The motion was opposed by Mr. Goodnow of Calais, who thought there was no reason why the house should not hold a session on Saturday, as there were many members who will have to remain.and by Mr. Foss of Saco, who said that tomorrow being the last day for the reception of petitions and bills, an ad journment might work an injustice. Mr. Dickev said that to obviate this diffi culty, that if the House should vote to ad journ until Monday, he would then move that the time for the reception of petitions and bills be extended until that time. Mr. Cousens of Kennebunkport, thought the reason stated by the gentleman from Saco [Mr. Foss] was a sufficient reason why the House should not adjourn until Monday, but he did not object if the time for the reception of bills be extended. He hoped the motion would not prevail. Mr. Heath of Augusta said that lie would suggest that the order fixing the time for the reception of petitions and bills, being a joint order, the House cannot extend the timewitii out the concurrence of the Senate, and that the only way that petitions and bills could be received aftea tomorrow would be by a two third vote and a suspension of the rules, and that if the House should vote to adjourn until Monday and the Senate should refuse to con cur. great injustice might be done. The motion that when the House adjourn it be until Monday next, was lost.

Mr. Sborey of the committee on summer excursions reported th't the committee were not prepared to report. Mr. Frank K. Smith of Bangor was called on for a report from Penobscot eounty. He stated that there had been very few changes the^e. The questions of job printing and rates of advertising, were considered. The committee on rates of advertising and job printing reported that while the rates of advertising were recommended bv the Asso ciation they should not be considered as bind ing on the members; that the rates for job printing fixed by the association were not generally observed and advise I that the matter of fixing rates for job priming, be dropped. Considerable discussion ensued, and it was voted that the resolve in relation to advertising he adopted. File resolve in regard to job printing was refused a passage, and on motion of Mr. Watkins it was voted t continue fixing the rates for printing. The name of Charles O Furousii of Machias was presented for membership, and he was elected a lnemb* r. Mr. Brackett, of the committee on essayist and poet reported the names of P. R.

The matter of summer excursions was dis cussed Several routes were presented, among them being one to Mo >sehead Lake, another to the Thousand Islands and a third to Penneylvania. A larg* number seemed t favor the Moos* head excursion, and it wai decided to visit the lake the coming summer.

Ellwell of the Portland Tran Wa" 'ntr,,du'-ed, and delivered a very able and deeply interesting essay, which was carefully followed by the audience. We give a brief abstract Mr. Elwell’s Essay. Mr. Elwell’s subject was “The Newspaper Press at Home” a very timely one, consider ing that this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the introduction of the press into Maine. A sketch was given of the newspaper press in Europe, tracing it down to the appearance of S®Li nc’* sl>aper in North America, the I ublic Occurrences, the first and only num ber of which was publish d in Boston in 1690. Benjamin Harris was the publisher, and after the first number had been issued it was suppressed. It was the tenth newspaper in the world. A sketch of the newspapers of America down to the appearance of the Falmouth Gazette at Falmouth (now Portland) in 1785 was entered into Fourteen years passed before another at tempt was made to establish a newspaper in America. In 1.04 the News Letter was es tablished in Boston by John Campbell. Only two newspapers had been added in Europe up to this time. The News Letter was thus far the thirteenth newspaper in the world. Then followed the Philadelphia Mercury in 1719, j the New York Gazette in 1725, the Annap olis Gazette in 1727 The Charleston Gazette in 1731, the Williamsburg (Va.) I Gazette in 1736 Forty-nine newspapers were established in the colonies from 1748 to 1783. From 1690 to 1783, sixty-seven news papers had been published on tile continent, of which only forty-three were in existence in 1783, when the independence of the United States wa, acknowledged by George tile Third. The growth of the pros* in New England was briefly reviewed, following which the ad vance of newspapers in Maine was tak en up. An account was given of the difficulties met with by Benjamin Titc.itnb and Thomas Wait, the pub-j Ushers* of the first newspaper in Maine, at Falmouth. Mr Titcomb, with his own hands, stmck off on the first day of January, ITS.",, the first sheet ever printed in Maine. The partner ship between Messrs. Titcomb and Wait was not of long continuance, and in 1790 Mr Titcomb set up another paper in opposition to Wail, called the Gazette of Maine. Tie two papers continued in opposition until 1796 when John Nelson Bsker purchased both j establishments, ami issued one piper semi weekly called the Eastern Herald and Gazette of Maine. In 1796 there were three newspapers in Maine and the same year there was another paper start ed in Portland called the Oriental Trum pet. As the State grew in population tin number of papers increased. The Portland Argus was established in 1803 ami the Pres* in 1862. The first religious weekly published in Maine was the Christian Mirror, appearing in Portland in August,1822. The first literary anti family journal which attained a perma nent footing was the Portland Transcript ushered into existence in April, 1837. The first daily paper in Maine was issued in Port land in 1829, anil was called “The Courier.” The Kennebec Farmer and Journal of the Useful Arts published by Ezekiel Holmes at Winthrop, Jan. 21st, 1883,and now the Maine Farmer, was the first agricultural paper in Maine. The establishment of the story papers in Augusta was referred to. Mr. Elwell continued to trace the growth of the press in Maine, making mention of the first newspapers in each county in chronolog ical order, giving a list of Hi newspapers now published in Maine which had an existence prior to 184(1. He divided the men who have controlled the press of Maine into three distinct classes, viz: The early newspaper publishers, who were practical printers; the politicians, who pub lished papers for their influence on public j opinion the professional editors of to-lav. A list of the early printers, editors and writers was presented, and no less than twen ty members of Congress who had been con nected with the press of Maine were enumer ated. Fifteen of those who have held judi cial positions in the State were mentioned as having been connected with newspapers. Of the Governors of Maine no less than seven have been connected with the press These are Edward Kent, Win G. Crosby, Hannibal Hamlin, Nelson Dinglev, Jr., Alonzo Garcelon and Frederick Robie. (>f women journalists there have not been many, while as compositors, and more especi ally as writers of prose and verse, the women of Maine have contributed largely to the newspaper work In 1810 there were eight periodicals published in the State; in 1840, thirtv-six: 1850, forty-nine;in I860, seventy; in 1870, as a consequence of the hard times of the civil war, the number had fallen to sixty-five; in 1880. however.it had increased to one hundred and twenty-three. In 1884 Maine had 181 newspapers and periodicals, 28 of which were published in Portland In 1880 the publishers of Maine paid for labor the sum of 8817.006. and received from their publications 81,286.461. They gave employ ment to 1036 persons This is the record of a century’s progress Judging from the past we may expect to see still further advances in the century to come Mr. Ellwell occupied about an hour and in the course of the essay exhibited a number of ancient papers, specimens of several of those described. Following Mr. Elwell. Brown Thurston. Esq., of Portland, read an exceedingly inter esting paper on the mechanical condition and improvements in the art of printing during the la«t hundred years. We give an abstract a« follows Mr. Thurafon** Paper. The fir#t printing office in Maine wa* e» tablished at Portland, probably in 17*4. and as a j ib office. The facts relating to those earlv years are very obscure, hut we hare the record that one Thomas R. Wait, coming to Portland in that year, found Renj Titoomh already established in his office. A pinner ship was formed bv them, and the first Maine newspaper, the Falmouth Gazette and Week ly Advertiser, appeared on the first day of 17n"i No detailed description of the press used remains, but it was probably,of the pat tern invented by W. .1 Rlaeuw of Amster dam. in 1620, made entirely ot wood except the iron screw A separate impression wa« required for each page, thus compelling the pressman to exert about all his strength four times for every paper. The primitive inking apparatus consisted of two balls about ten inches in diameter cowred with sheepskin and stuffed with wool. The ink being taken up upon these from a board, and spread over their surfaces by dexterously tossing and whirling them in the air.thetype was covered bv daubing on the ink, going over the work as often as might be necessary to thoroughly ink a form. With very hard work, about 500 Copies would be a day’s task No type foundry was in existence in this country at this date, and the type used tor the Gazette was clumsy, very old. battered and dirty it was not till 1819 that the printer was able to procure his type at home. As a result of the printing of news came the need of some means of diffusing it. and the first mail coach was put on the road from Portland to Portsmouth in 1787. In 1790 the second press was brought into Portland, to print the Gazette of Maine. Mr. Titcomb having withdrawn from partnership with Wait, who had changed the name of the paper to the Eastern Herald. A post-office was established in Augusta then the northern part of Hallowell) in 1794. Hallowell. in 1794, saw the third press in the Stare. and on it was printed the Eastern Star nnd»r the conduct of H. S. Bobbins In 1.95 Peter Edes and the fourth press came to Augusta, .rd the Kennebec Intelligencer appeared in November of that year. Now the p-fsses increased*more rapidly, and in 179*5 J. N. Russell and H Hoskins set up the Wisea-set Telegraph; in 1798 I). J. Waters established the Ca-tine Journal, and in the same year Bussell's Echo.or the North Star, began a brief existence in Frveburg. In 1803 Calvin Day and Nath l’WillU es tablished the Ea-ierr. Argus in Portland. In 1815 Ede» removed to Bangor and set up the Weekly Register, hauling his material thither by ox-cart express. In 1819 a Bamage press, an improved make, was set up in Brunswick by Joseph Griffin, who priuted books; the book establishment of Glazier and Masters followed, in Hallowell. in 1830 Bv this time there were sixteen presses in the State. The iron hand-press, with the “toggle joint” impression, was invented in 1813. but probably did not come into use in Main, be lore 1835. The first daily was the Daily Courier, started by Seba Smith at Portland in 1839. It is bard to say when the first power-press app ared in the State, but prob able ab iut 1834 Tb-* first power us-'d was that oi a Imrse attached to a «weep like that ot th olj-fashi ned ci ler mill A lams of Is >ston invented a much improv ed power press in 1830, and the second one of this style in Maine was used for the Daily Argus in 1835. The Bangor Drily Whig had been started by W E Rogers in 1834. and the Kennebec Journal followed in 1836. Steam power was applied in 1840. to the Maine Farmer and Augusta \ge; the Farm er also claims the first folding machine, set up in 1864. No one had thought of the simple but in dUpensible little proof press till about 1860; previously, proofs had been taken after the form bad been made up. The invention of the glue and molasses roller, produced a complete revolution; it made fast power-presses possible, and though there are no very last presses in this State, yet the work done on the sixty-two newspapers would require 1200 of the Rim age presses at their utmost speed, ten hours a day for every six days. As a result of careful canvassing and esti mating are the following statistics of the con dition of the printing business in our State at the present: There are 701 men, 386 fe males, and 100 apprentices; 100 power presses of 15 different makes; 52 hand presses; 70 piper cutters; 37 steam engines. 3 each hot air engines and water powers; 22 Dick's 3 iloe, and 3 Longiey mailers; and 11 folding ma -hin *s of different makes. Mr. Thurston closed his essay at 4 30 o’clock, and was greeted with applause. A vote of thanks whs tendered to the poet and essayists. The Maine Central ami Knox Lincoln railroads were also given a vote of thanks for favors. Adjourned to 7.30 o’clock in the evening. The Banquet. Last evening the association was enter tained and tendered a banquet by the mem bers of the press of this city, at the Augusta House. Early in the evening the gentlemen accompanied by their ladies, met in the hand some parlors of the hotel, and at 8.30 entered the banquet hall, where Landlord Milliken served a handsome collation Some fifty couples sat down to the tables, including Governor liobie.

Jovial speech making was the order ot the hour. President Adams presided in a most felici tous manner. Mr. K. II. Klwell, the nestor of Maine editors, made the first response, and proposed the sentiment of “Our brethren of the Augusta Press, may their prosperity always equal their generosity.” He was followed in a very happy manner by bv G ivernor Kohie, Mr. Joseph A.
