Gents: For the last three years I have been suffering from a complication of Diseases, ami have employed the most skilful physician* in the state, having been treated by local physicians at home and by physicians in l'ortlaud, Me. All my physicians told me rny disease was ho complicated, I could uever glifc well. And certainly ull my medical treatment gave me no relief. I had no appetite, bowels in a bad state, female trouble combined with liver and Sidney trouble, so said my physicians. I grew so weak and reduced, 1 had done no work for one year, when Dr. Triboa, my physician, at the time, advised me to try DANA’S SARSAPARILLA. Soon after trying it I began to feel a wonderful change. I commenced to gain in flesh ami strength, and after taking three bottles I felt like another person. I now feel well and strong and am able to do all the work In a family of eight. I feel that I owe my health en tirely to the wonderful curative power of DANA'S SARSAPARILLA. I prize this valuable remedy highly, and shall earnestly recommend it to all the afflicted. I cannot say too much In it* praise for all it ha* done for me. Very truly your* Mrs. V. A. WENTWORTH.

Nelson Ding iey. who made an able address outlining ’he work of the party in the la*t Congress. He was listened to with close attention and frt qu-jntly interrupted with applause. Hon. Frederick T. Greerhalge of Lowell, Mass., was the next speaker. He began by c immunicating a message supposed to have Deen received from Speaker Heed in Paris, imitating the tones and gestures of Mr. Itted so closely that he caused rounds of applause. He spoke eloquently and de cidedly in approbation of the new Austral ian ballot bill, predicting that it will lead the party to victory. Prtsident A. W. Small of Colby gave vigorous and sound views on the aims and objects of clubs like this. Prof Chapman ot Bowdoin followed with a calm, sound speech on republican principles and future prospects.

Mr. Griodle, for the committee on East ern Maine Insare Hospital, to which was referred petiiion of U. C. Perkics and others praying that the Eastern Maine Insane Hospital be put under horoams, for the committee. To the Chairman of the Committee on Pub lic Buildings In accordance with the instruction of vour comimtt. e to me to inquire into the legality of the expenditures of the commis sion created by the laws of 1869, to super vise the enlargemi nt of the State House, I have performed that duty and herewith submit my report. The report of the commission to the Legislature would, upon its face, indicate an overdraft of the appropriation for the enlargement of the Slate House,but. upon investigation, I find, n* a matter of fact,] the commission did not overdraw; the appropriation, and that ihe ap parent over-draft remits from the expenditure from the contingent fund, and the appropriation for furniture and; repairs, said over-draft being expend ed principally for the boiler house and furnishing the House of Rep resentatives. This leaves but two questions for consideration. First, did the commis sion have a legal right under the clause in the resolve which says “and for the reason able expenses of the commission," to take salaries. Whither the i xpeuses were “reasonable. that is.toohighor too low, is a question of fset, not of law, which 1 am not required to discuss. The question then arises, is the phrase “reasonable expenses” cr so far as the law is involved, the term “expersee" as U9ed in the resolve limited merely to the money actually paid out by the commission, or is it broad enough to cover the sslaries of the com missiODers. 1 ihirk it covers both. This is undoubtedly the construction the two able lawyers on the commission pu; upon the resolve, and probably without any examination of ihe authorities tut on the generally accepted principle that neither states nor individuals expect to receive the benefit of a valuable service without due compensation therefor. In ibe absence or any authority t) the ontrarv, this proposition migot properly be left with the construction placed upon it by the lawyers on the commission on the ground that in the absence of such author ity the opinion of the lawyers in the com mission is as good as the opinion of equally good lawyers off But thpre is both author ity and precedent for the action of the commission in taking salaries. Volume 4. opinions of the attorneys gen eral of the United States, page 577, Nathan Clifford, attorney general, says: "Under an act of March 3d, 1847, »he warrant to which my attention has been drawn de clares that the turn of $r,000 is aporrp'i ated to defray the expenses of the c >mmis sion now tilting ueder the treaty between the United States ard the Cherokee In dians, and the fact that ihe money is placed at the discretion of the President. The first act under which that commission sat appropriated a certain sum for compen«a tion to two commissioners and pay of secre tary ard for contingent expanses. The word contingent’ is dropped in the act of 1847. and the larguage is ‘that the sum of $6COO be, and 'he same is hereby appropriated out of any money in the treasury, rot otherwise appropriated, placed at the discretion of the President, to defray th* expenses of the commission now sittirg under the treaty,’ etc The worls are general, to pay the expenses of the commission, and roust be understood to in clude the salaries of tha beard, as well as incidental expenrea. When Congress ap propriates a sum to pay the salary of an officer and expenses, th-y roust mean those f xpenses which are necessarily incident to the work to be done, and where a duty is placed upon an officer, the performance of which necessarily involves 'ravel, clerk hire, office rent, etc a broad provision for espenses will include the cost o? such 'ravel, clerk hire, office vent, eic.,” 22 U- urt of Claims, 20$ 277, Dunwoody’a Case Salary and companfatiw for services are expense*. During the entire administration* of Washingtin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and the first tetfm of Mad ison, sometimes by special act and some times in the general appropriation tots, the proTisions for the diplomatic corps consisted of so much money "for the ex penses of foreign intercourse" to be expend ed in the discretion of the President Un der these act* the President fixed the salaries of all onr foreign ministers,coniutt ander,vo>*. ard these salaries were paid out of the turns thu* appropriated 7 At torneys General.

There are numerous other decisions which show that when money is appropri ated “to pay expenses it must mean those expanses which are recesaarily incident to the work to be done.” I deem these citations sufficient to sstafc lish the legal proposition that the commis lion had a right to pay themselves salaries under the reao!ve of 18S9. i The second question involved in connec tion with this report is whether the Gov ernor of the State could legally take com pensation for his services as a member of the commission. Et*o admitting that the other membert of the commission could legally do so. No objection can be based on section 6, article 4 of the constitution, which says: The Governor shall at stated times receive for his services a comiensatioa which shall not be increased or aiOBinUhed during his continuance in office. “Receive fcr hit services” m what? As attorney general? No. As secretary of state? No Simply and solely for bis ser vices as Governor. This section, then, can have reference to no other office or employ ment. He receive 1 as commissioner no addition to bis salary as Governor. In Lowe vt.

An officer for service rendered in his official character can charge nothing in excess of his Hilary tut for ser vices performed in his individual capacity, he is on equal footing with other individu als. S e Harris GilJ, Maryland, 57 p. The same principle cited and con- J fl«uned in *'.0th Maryland. 306, and State vs Weston, 4t‘i Nebraska, 234. The secretary of state, acting as adjutant general, held he was entitled to compensation therefor hr weil as salary of secretary of s*ate. In Crossman vs. Nightiogill, let Nevada, 323, the lieutenant governor was made ex officio j warden of the Statea Prison by the Legis- lalure It was held he wss entitled to pay for services a* warden in addition to his j salary as lieutenant governor. It setnis to me very clear from the numerous authorities on the subject that a position on the State House Commission was an employment and not an office, and that «he Governor in serving thereon was in no way acting within tb* scope of his offic* a* Governor, and that he was clearly en titled to compensation for his services. J In conclusion I will cite one more precedent j which I think will by implication, be con- i o’usive of the whole question at issue. J Article 6, section 2 ot the constitution i reads: •'The Justioe* of the Supreme Judicial Court, j shall, at stated times, receive a commutation 1 which shall nor b* diminished during their eon j tiuuunce la office. but they saali receive no oth* r fee or rewa d.” 8*cfton A reads: ‘‘The Jubilees of the Supreme Jodkial Court shall hold no office under the United Mates nor any state, nor any oth* r ffice under this slate, except that of jattJc* of the peace It will not be questioned that these two sections as closely confine a justice of the Supreme urt within the does of his cfll ;e as the sections before cited confine the j Governor within the lines of his Still under these restrictions Chief .Ins ice Appleton on the 29th of December, 1876, received from the 8fatt.

Go motion by Mr. Thatcher of Penob scot. “Resolve providing for an educational qualification for voters" was laid on the table. On motion by Mr. Thatcher of Penobscot, House Document 254, assigned for today was taken from the table This matter came from the House, minority report ac cepted, acd bill reported by that report, passed to be engrossed. Mr. Thatcher, mov^d that the Senate concur with the House in the adoption of lha minority report, which reported bill, an act concerning the reversion of Oldtown toll br.dge to tbe Slate of Maine, and estab lifthing a highway overlaid bridge, and that the same ought to pass. Mr. Walton of Somerset—I should like to bear from the Senator from Penobscot regarding this matter. Mr. Thatcher of Penobscot—This is a matter which affects my constituent* verv seriously, and I should consider myself negligent to my duty unless I said some tin; g to enl'gh en the Senate upon the lust er The first bridge chartered was built In 1831, by a charter which was given by the Legislature for 40 years la 1840 tne east end of this bridge, being one spaa, was carried away by freshet, leaving the T>iers remaining. At that time the whole basinets of the two towns was carried on at the upper falls, about half a mile from «he present bridge. The mill owners, thinking it a good time to have a bridve built at the falls, obtained a charter at the rext session of the Legislature (which was then held in the simmer) authorizing them to build a bridge at that place. They had no intention of building a rival bridge, but simply to drive the old company to build on the upper falls, instead of rebuild ing on their old site. They therefore had a proviso inserted in their charter that the eld company should have the first right to build a bridge at the upper falls if lb y should so elect. As a further inducement, two days after the act creating the new company was parsed the Legislature passed an amendment to the effect that if the old company would build at the fails they would repeal the 40 years* clause. The efforts of the people were unavailing snd the old company refused to build a' he falls, but replaced on their former site the span carried away by the freshet, and therefore the citizens of Old Town and Milford claim that the 40 year clause was not repealed, and the charter expired in 40 years from date of acceptance, which would be in 1871 In 1874 the Legisltture was a«ked by the people of Old Town and vkini-y to rake possession cf the bridge in the name of the State. They however withdrew upon the assurance of the bridge corporation that the tolls would l>e reduced satisfactorily to the public. I'ne company kept this a*sur arcp unlil 1887 and no one complained, neither would they have complainel to this time had the bridge company kepi good faith with the public. At that time parties who had previouslv paid $5 for a season ticket, were a»k*d $05,—instead of giving season rat*• for a few dollars to parties who occasional y crossed thebrijge, they r-fused to make any yearly rates, and ex acted rhe full tariff rate each crossing. The uiual fate is 10 et« per man and team. If h person crossed 20 times a day they would make no reduction. Men a-k d if they could not make a reduction, the reply was, we will sell you the bridge. It is the custom of other bridge com panies to sell packages of tickets at a less price than for sing.e ones. The Bangor Bridge Co. sell 100 tickets for $.. and he admi.ted that i. wa** nof on »h«* falls as understo od by the cii-zen* of Old Town and vicinity. The bridge company have carrie 1 tbeca*e up to the law court Now the minority report «*p* t*»• ly says that this act shall rot affect ary pending su t and shall have no effect If the court decides there is r o reversior. 80. g-ntletnen, the rights of lb* bridge corpora tion are fully protected. What mote can they reasonably ask of us? When the n»a ter cam® up in the House, after a full i d scussioti the minority repjrt was adopted by a vote of 97 to 1. Two members who signed the majority report vot'd 1 .r the minority. ?o that is is not in fart a minor ity report of the committee. as it now appears, but a majorty in fact Let m- add that my two colleagues f 'tn Penobscot agree with me in support I of t:»c minority report. Vou wi l make no mistake in supporting the minority report. It is already a case of the people agai/.s: a monopoly. The President—The chair finds among the papers that Ifou'e amendment “A” is! adopted, w&i h substitutes another bill. Mr. Thatcher That appear* in the; printed bill. Mr. Walton, of Somerset—That is a bill i reported by a majority of the committee. j Mr. Thatcher—If on will look at thej 2nd pag-j >oa will find it i* the minority! report. Mr Power* of Aroostook—There are two “House document 254 i.*’ Mr. Thatcher—I would state to the sent-' tor from Somerset the difference between those two bills, is this, as I understand:' The msjority report does not give the j people any right to come to the Legislature hereafter in case this suit is thrown out of j court. They simply want it left, in case the court decides against them, right where it did. They have a right to come to the Legislature for their rights. I am not iij favor of sec 1, as read, because if that is peered it will throw them into the courts. Mr. Walton—The minority repon says there is a suit still pending. Suppose th«y are thrown out oo the ground that they hare no business in there. This bill provides they shall come to the Legislature, and get that which the court says they shall not have. Mr. Thatcher—The poor Is claim the Legislature is the proper tribunal to g» to. Hr. Walton—That is. that wb?n people get beaten in coart they shall come to the Legislature and get things fixed for them? Mr. Thatcher—No; bat if they are thrown oat of court they hare the privilege of coming to the Legislature. This 40 ycars charter has expired The people claim that they are being taxed to support that bridge unjustly, that the bridge has reverted to the State by the provisions of its cbarter. The bridge corporation hangs to it because it is a good paying investment. The people are being ground down by the tall which is exacted of them. I knew about this matter. I have a mill in the town of Milfurd. My agent is compelled to run back and forth daily a dozen times and pay ten cents. He can get no reduc tion. He has to pay just the same as a man who goes across ouce. Men have been compelled to pay $300 for one winter, or btcause they would not pay it, have been sued and had to pay $400. It is an in jus tice. The people claim the bridge has re verted to the State and belongs to the peo ple; not only because the charter has expired, bat because it was not built where it was agreed to be built. They do not want to be thrown into conrt again By information the attorney-general brought this matter into the courts. The decision was appealed from: and now if they are unable to gain their case and are thrown out of court, thev want Che privil ege of coming to the Legislature. They have a right now. They came in 1874 and were promised relief, and were relieved for a number of years. They then began to increase their tolls, and whenever par lies asked tham for redr**»sthey said **We will sell you the bridge.” They feel they cannot hold it a gnat white, thev know their charter has expired and want the pub lic to buy the bridge. Mr. Walton—If the argument of the senator from Penobscot is correct then we should certainly ac cept the majority report hare, I would, if I could, vote every tollbridge out of existence. If they have not any i right the bridge revert* to the State If they have a right, thev ate entitled to keep it. This Legislature is not legislating any body out of any vested rights. The major j ity report provides that it shall revert to the State when it is ascertained through the courts, that the State is entitled to it 1 do not understand the minority report to mean anthtng elre, but if it means what the Senator from Penobscot claims, that those people are to come here for a re me lv, it is lime such proceedings were sat down upon The matLer resolves itself into this: There is a suit now pendimr brought by the attorney-general. Upon ihe decision of that suit the question is to be settled whether this bridge has reverted to the State, and when that is settled the wh de question is settled and needs no legislation here whatever. If it is settled that it has not reverted, this Leg islature has no right to pass a law annuting the charter of these people who have built a bridge there at presumably a great ex pense. Mr Mallet of Cumberland—As one of the committee on ways and bridge* I signed the msj >rity report, in cause it was thought by royndf and those who signed with me that the majority report was the report to sign, that the words “this act shall not affect or prejudice” should be incorporated in the .report which rhouId be adopted.

Washington, March 31.—With an oS dal note dated today, Baron Fava, the Italian minister, declared to the secretary of state that the United States government not having given assurances that the nnr derers of the Italian subjects, acquitted by American magistrates and murdered while, under the immediate protection of Iho authorities of New Orleans, would bo brought to j Attics, the Italian government found itaelr a d r the v*rv painful neces sity of showing openly its d 'satisfaction by the r* calling of the minister by Ids majesty from a c >untrv where an Italian representative was unable to obtain justice. The baron will soon leave the Uullod States, leaving the set ret ary of legation la charge of only curreut affairs. This action by the Italian government caused lb* deepest tu. prise in official circle* bare when the fact became known li was severally supposed that the Ilal ian g tvernment would at least await Iks ac tion of tha New Origans gtand jury charged with the invtft’ige'toc of tbs Moody epi sode at New Of lean* jail It appears that the tnforcnitiiua received from represents, lives must have led that government tat th* corclusto that the jtrar uwestigattOA would fail t result in the pun shment or even the Wdlmrasnt of «nv persm CM necte I Uh kilties the luba ts A latter of Governor Nicbolls In reply to Secretory RUin- w»t a>so, u Is thought, regarded as evasive of the real point at issue—repara tion for alleged wrong—and the governor'* assurances that further bloodshed would nrt follow, unaccompanied by any excuse for the failure f thonal system nt government, It bad nettling to do. Rut it was necessary, according to its views. Italian Citfxrna *n foreign countries should be accorded fifti measure protection fixed by laws of this country. Here was a case where, accord ing to the statement ef the minister, the kalian subjects arrested on charge of criin- wr ro acquitted by the American Jury according to the forms of American law. Then* men, declared innocent by a Judi cial tribunal, were slain by an angry people. The Italian government could Owl go. be hind a verdict of the American courts, rtii withstanding it wa* stated in mm« quarters that the men were really guilty of the foul assassination, but acquired by means »f bribery, in the eye of the Italian government they were innocent Italian subjects. In their violent killing the Italian people were outraged and insulted. The national gov ernment of the United States ha I failed to give any definite asm ranee that reparation would be made. There was but one re course and ttiat was taken today, when the Italian minister notified Secretary Blaine that he was recalled. There was a commo tion among the suite department officials when the fact became known thst Btron Fava sa» recalled. They did not know It officially, *»ve the secretary, before the close of office hours. The secretary was conflmdtohis home sgaiu by the recur rence of gout and did not send word to his lieutenants io the department of state. lie managed to g*t into his carriage about 4 o'clock and drive to the White House, where he fold the resident all that had oc curred and diicu«»ed future prospects. He stayed with the President an hour, and whim he returned home he was not access!Me. The state d apartment officials did not care to talk about the matter. Mr. Wharton, first asslsmnt secretary. Is con fined to his rooms by tlloess. Mr. Adee, another assistant secretary, was not in formed of the evert which was the absorb ing topic of conversation among the people outside. None of the officials cared to be quoted in opinions. Precedents are to he looked up before they could hv ventured. It was the general dis position to belittle the matter but there was no idea the dogs of wu» would he unloosed. Baron Fava had not demanded the pass ports as first retried.

[Bath Times.] By a vote of 114 to II, the House con curred with the senate and passed the resolve to submit to the people a consti tutional amendment, establishing an educa tional qualification for suffrage. This is a move in the right direction, eminently proper and strictly just to everybody. The amendment is very liberal indeed, as no one now a voter is deprived of that privi lege. the provision applying only to those people coming of age after the adoption of the law.

Hamlin, “Uncle Lewis,” as ws all like to call him, left st the Jocax&j office a specimen of early Ken nebec book-making. This was a little 12 mo. volume of 94 pages of which tbe following is the title page “Travels of a Philosopher or Observa tion on tbe Manners and Arts in America and Asia. Bv M Le Poivr*. late emme sary to the King of Cenchin-Cblna. Au su»ta Kennebec)re-printed by Peter Kde*. !797.” Mr Edes was the first printer on the Kennebec river and came to Fort Western settlement in Hallowell in 1795. Previous to 1797—the year of the incorporation of Augusta, Feb 20—ail the territory of Augusta. Hallowell, Chelsea, most of Man chester and parts of Karmlngdsl3 and Gar diner was included in the town of Hallo well which was Incorporated April 26, 1771. Hpvciroena of tbe early impressions of Peter Edes’ press bear the imprint of both Hallowell and Augusta, which would naturally give one the Idea that he resided in both places—but he always resided in what Is now Augusta. Mr. Edes set up his first press in 179.', in the old Esekisl I'ige house in which he lived, which form erly stood on the location of the store of Church A Locke, south of Granite Hall block. The names of Augusta and Hallo well occurring on his title-page* result from the changes in name through which the town passed. This volume is a curious and interesting one even now. The “n” in the word “Oonchin” on the title page is a typographical error, as in the body of the work the word is correctly spelled Cochin. Although nearly 91 years of age Mr. Ham lin is active and vigorous, comes down street every day, walks a good deal, hears readily and is not only much interested in old-time matters but equally so in what is passing at the present time.

While not wi«hing ur justly to question the sincerity aoyo professing sympathy with the cause of temperance, it seems to the writer only proper that the public should understand that it is the evident purpose of trtain interested psrt.es in this city, whom possibly quite innocently Dr. Crooker is aiding, to create a counter current of op position to the present rising tide of public sentiment sgaiust the liquor traffic. If. however, in response to a seeming reasonatle deman 1 the leaders in this (’•mpertnee movement ehcnl 1 be led to commit themselves to the p.licy of aikiug ftr the r pining of a city 1 quor ag*rcy the very first one* to dis course against it as a “city rum •h p wuul-1 be tho»e who have k**M r who wish to krep or patronize the dis reputable and illegitimate tippling shops which are disguised under the mantle of ether and respectable names True, under the provision* of the present law no drug gist has strictly a legal right to sell un >mpoundcd alcoholic stimulants in any form. e\ en up n a physician*# prescr ption When, however, the attempt is honestly made to sdve the problem in question by the establishment of town or ci-y agencies another practical difficulty is met with in g-itung persons appointed in charge of them with sufficient stability of character or conscience to confine the sales within the limits intended by the law The expo Hence of some of oar neighboring cities in this line does not offer much encourage ment to us to try the experiment There is, however, one su'e and safe “remedy’' for the “difficulty" under consideration Let Dr Crooker and all hi* brother prac titioner* who are. as may be. embarrassed in the manner indicated, s mplv revise tbi* prescription code and adopt the nt,r ■-‘ethods, endorsed by yearly increas ing numbers oi distinguished physicians on both titles of the Atlantic, who wholly discard in t heir practice allalcohol ,-sttmulants. ia support of ibis sugges tion permit a tingle quotation from a dn tinguished Massachusetts physician ar.d chemist, Jos. K Nichols. M. D who in a lergthy paper upon a kindred topic pub lished seme lime since in the Boston Jour nal. says “If all brandies, whiskies, wines and malt liquors which now exist were sudden ly destroyed, and t iere could be no further production no c ats but dipsomaniacs woo d stiff*r any pain or distress for a sin gle hour. If thtse beverages are some times useful as diffusabl* stimulants, they ate oftener a bar to recuperations, no matter what may be the ailment. In all cases of disease when an alcoholic stimulant seems to be indicated as neces sary, science presents other stimulants, non-alcoholic, which may serve equally as useful a purpose. I>r. Nichols spoke from the standpoint not of a temperance orator or a “probibi Lon crank" but from that of a scientific it vestigator wbsee opinions are worthy of rtspectfal consideration. Angusta. Me.

Oat city reader* who rejgica in the in create of local hotiaeM end in oar city’s prosperity will be glad to know that An goata is to hare another first class stock i farat. Mr. W. P. O'Brien of Randolph, Mass., a wealthy shoe manufacturer, has leased the well known stock farm, former!} owned by Dr. J. W. North, and will soon place upon it a stud of finely bred trotting stock, and breeding dams. The firing i will be led off by three fine stallions, viz (1). A three-year-old son of Alcan tara (four year old record 2 23), a phe nomenal sire, last year potting twenty on* into the 2 30 circle—the only stallion that erer won this honor. The dam of this stallion is by Squire Weibridie, by Ham bletonian, 10; second dam by Mambrino Chief. (2). Bonbuolic, 3 years old, by Don Carlos, (2 23); dam by Bayard; sec ond dam by Edwin Forrest. (3). Mar imuth, 4 year old, by Mariner; by Smug gler, (2.15 1-4); dam by Atdallah Prince, second dam by Sentinel, by Uambletonian Among the breeding roareti to be placed upon the farm is the finely bred mar* Lucy P (2 27 1-2); and others b> such great sires as Don Wilkes, Don Carlos, Solicitor and others equally at well bred. All the above stallions will be handled for records the coming season, as will also some of the mares. The farm it to be in charge of that well known trainer W. S. Lamson of Liberty at superintendent, and is to be called Enterprise Stock Farm, the present proprietor discarding the former name. We are glad to record the fact of Mr. O’Brien’s location here, and trust hit highest anticipations of success will be realized. Tha Carroll Stud of Boraea. Mr. Jet. K. Carroll, the well known horseman, has moved hit stud of horses from its former quarters at the Richardson farm in Fartningdale to the Col. Allen’s stables, which are situated io Randolph but a few minutes walk from the Maine Cen tral station in Gardiner. The new stables have been nicely fitted up, are handii} arranged and make excellent accommoda tions for Mr. Carroll’s stallions. Now tha* he is ready for buttress an 1 the breeding season :s at hand be comes out in this issue of the Jourrai. with bis an nouncement for the season of 1*91 The Jocrnal has already mentioned Mr. Carroll's horses in a previous issue, and the advertisement gives in a clear and extensive manner the breeding of the three stallions which Mr. Carroll will use for stud purposes, viz. Gip Anderson. Clay Rolfe and Don. They are all toor oughbred stallions and are among the tiu est for stock purposes in this section of th* State. Too much cannot be said in praise of the head of the stud, Gip Anderson a handsome chestnut horse, foaled in 1880, 15 12 hands high and weighing 1100 pounds. The names of his sire, Mambrioc King, and his dam Memphis, are enough to guarantee that his breeding is all that can be desired. The long line of tret^rs sired by Mambrino King and mentioned in the pedigree of Gip show of what stuff the horse is made. Nightingale, one of Mam brino King’s get. at a recent race trotted the tilth heat in 2 20 and others of his get are cutting their mark down to small fig ures. In the 1891 announcement of C J Hamlin's Village Farm, East Aurora, N. Y he places great stress on the perform ances of the get of Mambrino King. A paragraph will show hia opinion of the horse. “In 1889 Village Farm stood without an equal in one respect. It was the home of Hamlin’s Almont Jr., the only living stal lion. three of whose produce had won three consecutive heats in races. Each one trotted below 2 20. In 1890 three of the produce uf Mambrino King equalled th«se performances, and today he and Almont Jr. are the only two stallions three of whose get have made this record." It is a great record, surely. Of the other horses. Clay Koife and Don, their pedi grees speak for themselves and ineiude some of the fastest hcrscs on the racs track today. The farmers of this section are lucky in having so near at hand, three su perior stallions from which they can secure colts that are reasonably sure of being solid able-bodied horses and able to show a fast clip when trained. We are glad t*» present the Carroll stud to the horse breed ers of Central Maioe. A Correction. Editors of the Kennebes Journal: In your copious and on tha whole correct report of Rav. R- A.

Foraoooo Baades. The convention was called to order at 11.10 o'clock. The petitioners concluded their testimony as follows: Miss Lettina Gama of Kennebuskport testified: There ia a house at Kennsbusk called the Mo at am House, kept by Mr Sawyer. Was there the day of the horse trot. Had bees absent previous to the day of the horse trot about two mot tbs. Pre vious t) these two months had been tui ployed at the house as a diniig room waiter. Haw Judge Hamilton at the house on the day of the horse trot with two women aid a small boy. Heard one of them called Rose, the’otiier Iia. The woman stayed teere that night. They came down to supper, but Judge Kami icon was sick and his supper was sent him. Think all three j came to their minis the next morning and 1 alter that, coming it) after all bat two or three had gwne out. They were in room 2, ad* j lining niy room. The more lag after the sec ond day the two young ladies carried the boy hack to JSiddexord and returned without him. They all remained at the hotel the second tight, and left it the third day at a4,out 11 o'clock. The evening of the sec ond day, Mrs. Savage, the landlady, called my attention to what wai going on in the room. I went up with Mrs. Sawyer and three or four others. There was a closet with an outer and inner door where we could see into the room through the key bole. Judge Hamilton and one of the young ladies were in bed undressed. The Judgr bad an under vest on. The young lady was trying to read. The other young lady came over and sat down by the side of the bed 1th a cape over her shoulders. Judge Hamilton got up and sat down on the side of the side ot the bad, and 1 left themtalkirg That night I was awskentd by a sort ot a Inning noise, and went to the door and listened. One of the girls was making a ter rible noise. Judge Hamilton said to the other girl “Wake up. Hose. She has drank that rum and is drunk This was either at 11 or 1 o'clock. 1 suppose she woke the girl up, and Judite Hamilton got up ana went across the ll )or and asked her if she knew who he was. She said “Yes; you are Judge Hamilton of Biddeford, Maine.” Sue used profane language toward the Judge. Lie ask til her to keep still as ho wai paying her bills at the hotel. I went t» bed and left them talking Couldn't tell which Ctrl it was that I saw in bed with the Judge. Cross examination—Have told this story to no one but my mother, except Mr. Srnai* when he came to summons rac yesterday at ter noon. rred H. rage of Iver.nebunk, testified Was at Kennebunk ou the day of the horse trot. Was driving a hack for Mr. Savage of Hie Mousam House. Saw Judge Haoiil !o i on the grounds about 2.30, just as I was starting to go to the depot to the inxt trains. There were two ladies and a boy with the Judge. The boy asked me if I would take the Judge and a couple of ladies to the depot I told him “yes,’ drove them as far as the post office, was going to look at uiy order slate there and the Judge looked out of the wind>w aqd n»k.iU me.

I belhve, in the hiitory of 'he Rtat* cf Maine, tha* any cau*e railing questions of fact under this cnnatitunonal clause has been submitted to the Legislature. Thirty-five year* ago this proceeding was u»ett*r nf serious question how fav. unler ur dvr the constitution, it is wjrhin the rovioee cf the Legislature to inquire into private life cf any of its civil officers, l 'leie are are some remarkable features of tins case. I think it stands as a conced ed fact that for seven years Judge Hamil ton has presided over this court with fair t o*s, justice honor ami integrity—a ciurt with brosd jurisdiction and of more than ordinary responsibility. And yet, with all i:i vai ers call on for it, the docket of the ciurt.

At to the Butter of intoxication I have this to toy: I don't believe that tbie convention will be eetitled after the evidence if all ia, that Judge Hamilton hat eat intoxicated in conn 1 loa't believe Ibis convention will be eatitfled that Jadge Hamilton ha* been publicly intoxicated or subject to habile of intoxication during the past two yean, gome three or four year* age—the jadge will state it to voa in hi* own wey—be dil commence to use intoxicsting liquor* more or lets. Up to that time, except whan be wae a boy,, after he had arrived at the age of manhood and after be vu married he naa nos, 1 say. ror a great many years used intoxicating liquors at all. but has to some extent during the past three years. The first time of intoxication that is selected under the petitioners' can* i« upon this election day of March, la&h Now, gentlemen, we shall carry you witnesses through the entire day into evening and show you, although the bardin is not upon us, that he was not intoxicated privately or publicly or in court Tbr o-i: of court when I though: he was under the influence of liquor. Cross-examination—Have never been in court when l believed that Judge Ilamil tjn wav intoxicated. Ben junto F.

Mr. Heath stated that he had been in formed that certain gentlemen from Bidde f »rd has taken it upon themselves in the midst of this trial to lobby this matter with the members of ths Legislature. He ex onerated the counsel on the other side from any connection therewith or knowledge of the facts. The president observed that the case was to he tried upon the evidence in troduced and further added that if auy such attemp's were made the self respect of every member would lead him to meet it in the prompt manner which it deserved. Any person attempting such undue tafia erce would be liable to be brought to the birofthe House and punished fur con tempt. The ilamination of witnesses for the de fenr>p was continued. Edgar A.
