Skowhegan, .Ian. 2. Charles A. Kennedy vs. \V. M. and A. C. Ladd, action for damages far libel in publishing an article defaming the characterof the plaintiff. Plaintiff claims that in August last the defendants were publishers and proprietors of tour news papers, the Bingham Herald, the New Portland Sun, the Solon Times, and the Xorrhlgewock Gazette: that almost simul taneously in said August there appeared in said four newspapi rs the following malicious and defamatory article from Carratunk, to wit: “Carratunk and the Forks have been having quite a scare of late, by what was pronounced tramps. Gardens have been robbed,cows have been milked, houses broken into, cellars have been robbed of their contents, fruit, cake and pie. Stores have been broken into, men’s clothing and money taken by the supposed tramps, but the tramps turned out to be Mr. Charles Kennedy, Mr. Bert Bean of the Forks, Mr. Rice and Mr. Frank Spaulding of Skowliegan. The stolen property was all found stored away in Mr. Charles Kennedy 's house, so we are in hopes now that our tramp scare is at an end. JJ Plaintiff says he was greatly Injured in his feelings and good name by the publi cation of this article and claims damage in the sum of $5000. Plaintiff testified to seeing the article mentioned and to the fact that nearly every person in the community where he lived had spoken to him about the article, as well as many people farther down the river, and he had even received communications from per sons in the West concerning the same. On cross examination, plaintiff in an swer to interrogatories, gave a detailed ac count of his life, his different places of residence and the different kinds of labor he had performed, and admitted that Mr. Rice and Frank Spaulding, two of the parties named in the defamatory article, were stopping at his house during the month of August last. Admitted that Mr. Walton, defendants’counsel, visited plain tiff and stilted that defendants would make all the reparation in their power for the publication of the article, and that they had already published a full retraction of the charges. Plaintiff also admitted that he had heard that such a retraction had been published. Defendants claim that the four papers in which the libeous matter ap peared are practiculy one paper, the head ings being changed, but the pri nted mat ter being identical in all: that defendants received the matter compained of in a written article which they supposed came from their Carratunk correspondent and to be reliable; that they published full retraction the following week; that plain tiff’s character and reputation were not such as to be seriously injured by the publication: that defendants were not acquainted with plaintiff and that all the circumstances tend to show an absence of malice on the part of defendants. Defend ants introduce record of conviction of plaintiff in 1890 for selling liquor. A. S. Burke, mineral merchant at Bing ham, testified that he traded with people in Forks Plantation and vicinity; was acquainted with plaintiff and knew his general reputation and it was not good. \Y. B. Brown, Esq., of Hartland, taught school in the Forks Plantation at onetime and know Keencdy’s general reputation. It was not the best. Arthur C. IJius more, boot and shoe dealer at Bingham, knew Kennedy; his reputation was not very good. Witness saw the article in the paper complained of, and believed it to be true. Mr. Paris of the forks had known plaintiff 14 years. His general reputation was not good. Witness had heard him called a hard skid. Charles E. York lives at the Forks, knew Kennedy, had heard people say his reputation was i ,t very good. Charles E. Ball of V\ cst Forks testified to writing items of July 25 and August 22, but denied writing article complained of. Several witness on cross examination by plaintiff’s conned, stated plaintiff \C». collector of taxes in the Forks Plantation, present year, and had also acted as assessor. Plaintiff in rebuttal put on several witnesses tending to show that plaintiff’s general character in this community was good. Mr. French, general trader at the Forks, and frank Durgiu had never heard plaintiff's reputa tion called in question. W. If. Clark, lumber dealer at Carratunk, and S. A. Dinsmoro of Bingham, testified to the good reputation of plaintiff. Ebon E. Adams was granted divorce from Sarah Adams. Cause, adult try.

Briggs of Auburn, Spear of Rockland, Patten of Bath, Hill of Portland, Doyle of Biddeford and Keegan of Van Bureu, were appointed a committee to receive, sort and count votes for Speaker. Having attended the duty assigned it, Mr. Hamlin from the committee, reported ns follows: Whole number of votes, 137 Necessary for a choice, 69 Llewellyn Powers had 136 William Dickey had 1 and Hon. Llewellyn Powers was declared duly elected Speaker of the House. Mr. Powers was conducted to tho chair by Mr. Dickey and addressed the House as follows: Gentlemen of the House of Representa tives 1 accept with unfeigned gratitude the office of speaker of this legislative body, which you have so generously tendered me. 1 appreciate not only the honor con ferred but e.lso the various duties and responsibilities that must obviously at tend the formation of committees and the presiding over your deliberations; and I earnestly bespeak from you all a eharita bh' judgment and forbearance and your frftuidly assistance and support both iiuli vi ihally and as an organization. We have left our several avocations in life and have assembledhere not merely to legislate for our own localities and our several districts or to gratify personal ends and aims but rather to be imbued With views board enough to embrace what is best for all and to work for the pro gress, the advancement and the future prosperity of our great and noble State. Fortunately indeed no great emergency or crisis confronts us as a state or nation at this time. Peace, plenty and evi dences of returning prosperity on every hand gladden our hearts and 1111 our hills and valleys witlPrefinod and happy homes. It might not be inappropriate for me at this time to state briefly what has un doubtedly already presented itself to the minds of you all. that it is our privilege and duty to assist in enacting only equal, just anti wise laws; in caring for the un fortunate and suffering; in preserving or der, individual security and personal lib erty regulated by law;in righting wrongs, correcting abuses, promoting tho welfare and the better education of till classes re gardless of their conditions in life. These and kindred objects, which I will not trespass upon your time to enumerate, de mand of us our wisest and best efforts as legislators, and we should conscientious ly do whatever may be necessary to pro duce these beneficent results. The bur den of taxation should bo made as light as possible and should be so placed as to bear equally and equitably upon all classes and upon all the property and in dustries of our State. To this end every appropriation of money should respond to i a well defined public need, and should be demanded by a wise discretion and a rigid economy. Not every change in laws is necessarily an improvement. That people is not nec essarily governed best that is legislated for most. Certainly tho burden of proof is upon those who would initiate extraord inary legislation, or open new avenues to tho treasury, to justify tho wisdom and propriety of so doing. If I might be permitted here and now to indulge in a wish or hope it would be to express the desire that this Legislature so peculiarly constituted might not find itself com pelled to create a new office or to increase tlie salary of any office now in existence. It is Eminently fitting and very desirable that the session here bo as short as is con sistent witli the proper consideration of public legislation only. Let us, then, with this end constantly in view, strive to expedite and discharge the business that shall come before us in such a man ner as shall meet with our own approval and tho deserved commendation of our fellow citizens. Trusting that all of your deliberations and debates will be characterized by an earnest desiro to determine what is right and then resolutely to do it, and that the friendships and associations here formed may be pleasant and lasting, and thank ing you most sincerely fer this expres sion of your confidence and esteem I await the pleasure of the House.

A Matter Which Deeply Con cerns Everybody. It Means Less Expense and More Money. It is Just What All Persons Are Look ing For. Probably the Greatest Discovery ot the Age. Tin greatest ami most wonderful en terprises in the world are thoso which have the strongest and most powerful In tellects hack of them, which result from years of study by thinking men, and which are built upon a foundation so sure and firm that no possible emergency can weaken them. This is exactly the ease with the subject in question. It lias astonished the most learned men every where, and the greatest intellects of the age acknowledge its genuine worth and marvelous superiority. And what makes it still more valuable is the fact tiiat it is something a large portion of the I oople need. No ether discovery ill the world lias proved so useful, h»* been the means of so much sav* and hus so completely icii won the hen., of the people ns I)r. Greene's Xervura blood and nerve rente dv. Its irresistible power to cure hns astonished the greatest physicians in the world. One great reason why this won derful remedy has taken the highest place among all the medicines of the world, why people prefer it to all others, and have more confidence in it than any other, is the fact that Ilr. Greene, himself, per sonally assumes the entire responsibility of ids medicine. There are many remedies of uncertain value with no one to vouch for them, no physician standing behind them with whom persons can consult in case the medicines fail to produce the desired effect. Hot here is one which is the ills covery and prescription of the best known and most successful specialist in curing nervous and chronic diseases, Dr. Greene of :ll Temple 1*1 nee, Boston, Mass., who is in active practice, and stands ready at all times to answer any and all questions regarding bis remedy nnd Its effects. And right hero is another great advnn tagiv Dr. Greene actually requests all persons taking his wonderful remedy to consider themselves under his direct per sonal care and treatment, and to consult him, free of charge, personally or by let ter. Me will carefully answer ail letters, giving ids advice and all necessary in format ion. Tlie great and world-wide reputation of I)r. Greene is a guarantee that his medi cine will cure, and the fact that he can Is- consulted by anyone, at any time, free of charge, gives absolute assurance of the sure and beneficial action of his val liable remedy. No other medicine in the world offers so many or such strong in ducements,nnd no other can givesueli cer tain and powerful assurance of curing disease. These facts give everybody the utmost confidence in Dr.Grecne’s Xervura blood and nerve remedy. 1‘so it. It will make you strong and well. Cattle Receipts and Quotations.

Jan. 3.—Danger threatens the peace negotiations between China ami Japan. It is not unlikely the Japa nese government will decline to make a farther postponement of the actual coni mneement of negotiations to await the arrival of John W. Foster, the Chinese advisory counsel, cv n if possible arrange ments for the settlement of the dispute will have been completed by the time Mr. Foster reaches Hiroshima, where the rep resentatives of both warring powers will meet. The Chinese cannot ask for postpone ment after the 22d. Two Chinese ambas sadors of peace expect to reach Hiroshima Jan. S', and the preliabilities are that they will be asked to begin negotiations with out delay. The Japanese government will refuse, no doubt, to agree to tempor izing on the plea that Mr. Foster has not arrived and that the Chinese ambassadors cannot proceed without his assistance. It may be stated with some degree of positiveness that a direct declination by Chinese envoys to begin negotiations until I Mr. Foster reaches# HUtishima will result in a positive disagjfremdnt and the break ing oft of the ‘overtuiWwhich will cause the Japanese forceijhtfe ^rtsh their war with greator Vigor imvail the Chinese capital. In that event nflfcing short of the fall of Pekin is likelylhj put an end to hostilities. -itk. It has boon known for some time that the Japanese government is suspicious of the good faith of itsenemies in their over tures for the suspension of the war. The Japanese police commissioners am not likely to give formal rceognit'ca to Mr. Foster. He will cerainly not be allowed to attend sittings of the commission, pro vided he arrives at Hiroshima before its business is concluded, if frequent requests for adjournment are made by the two Chinese envoys in order that they may consult with him, the Japans commis sioners will probably refuse to proceed further unless these requests cease. Mr. Kuriito, late Japanese minister here, to day denied that Mr. Fester had received official notice from the Japanese govern ment that lie is to he cordially welcomed to Japan as one of the Chinese representa tives in peace negotiations. Mr. Kurino said Mr Foster was not officially recogni zed by Japan Although Mr Foster was a froind of Viscount Mutsu, minister of foreign affairs, the latter would not allow personal considerations to cause him to extend an unusual favor to n representa- tivo of Japan's enemies /'i S S'* 5 See That?

Sine.' the last Legislature met there have been many changes about the State House that have added much to its at tractiveness. A great deal of credit is due to Gen. 15. F. Harris, superintendent of the public buildings, for the good work he has accomplished in improving the appearance about the capitol. The approach too has been made much more substantial and pleasing to the eye, and the gilded arch, with the golden eagle perched upon the top, affords an excellent location for the large arc light that lights up the approach to the rotunda. Once inside the building one can but note the marked changes, made so by the skillful handling of the painters' brushes. The pillars shine like glass so perfect is the polish. Their liases though made of pine, present an excellent imitation of granite. The walls have been treated to new coats a of paint adding vastly to their appear I anee. New strijis of carpet have been laid in the aisles and the floor has been It put in first class* shape. In short every I room from basement to dome, has l>een put in good repair. In the representatives hall an electrical method of lighting tho gas jets has been introduced. Perhaps the most extensive repairs have been made in the executive department, where they were specially needed. In the Governor’s room is a new carpet, Royal Wilton, in terra cotta shades of a special design. The sofa and arm chair, both of iron framed, Turkish work, plain sultan plush, terra cotta shades, arc a very hand some. The Turkish rocker covered in all wool tapestry in shades of blue is one of the rich settings and the tul) chair that matches the rocker adds much to the ap pearance of the room. There arc two ma hogany office chairs cushioned to match the others and two antique solid mahog any enuirs with artistic carvings and one done in inlaid work. The drapories are the largest over made by the Walter Corey Co., of Portland, the firm which lias had the contract for this work. They are 15 feet long, each one being 100 inches wide, for the two sets of windows. The shades are dark cream and terra cotta. In the room of the Governor s private secretary, Col. E. C. Stevens, are now Wilton carpets. The windows are draped with valance blue to match tho biue in the freize and over draperies of a coral shade to match the walls. Both rooms have been newly painted a light shade of cream, touched with a little gold. In the rear of the council chamber over a closet are a pair of velour portieres. Mention might be made of many other points of improvement but space will not permit. Every official speaks in the very highest terms of the thorough manner in which Gen. Harris has put the buildings in readiness for the winter s work. COURT HOUSE. Hon. L. T. Carleion aud Hon. C. W. Went worth Remembered by Kennebec Officers. Yesterday was one of presentation at the Court house and Hon. L. T. Carleton, count}- attorney, and Hon. C. W. W cut worth, county commissioner, were the receivers. Mr. Carleton was tho recipient of a handsome gold-headed cane from the following gentlemen: Sheriff E. L. Norton, Deputies W. II. Libby, J. P. Hill, 1. M. True, G. H. Ames, H. T. t Morse, James Tibbetts, E. W. Maddox, P Isaiah Gifford, M. L. Rollins, W. E. Berry, E. B. Connor, II. W. Hildreth, A. L. McFadden, M. S. Gordon. The ele gant cane was presented by Gen. W. S. Choate, who spoke of Mr. Carleton’s labors during the past eight years; the position and high standing lie bore in re lation to the sheriff add deputies and his unretiring efforts in faithfully perform ing the duties before him. It was in a feeling of deep thankfulness that Mr. Carleton responded, and in a most fitting manner expressed his intense {platitude upon receiving so beautiful a gift. The cnne will bo engraved with a suitable Inscription and the names above mentioned will accompany it. To Hon. Mr. Wentworth a handsome Klgin gold watch was given and Howard Owen in presenting it made one of his witty speeches, mentioning the labors of Mr. Wentworth and the interest ho has taken in his work. Mr. Wentworth was so surprised that he hardly knew what to do, but found words to say t hat he was very thankful for such a memento of re membrance. The watch was accompan ied by a line chain and a Masonic charm, and inside the case appeared the following names: Gen. W. S. Choate, Judge A. G. Andrews, County Commissioner J. S. Hamilton, Register of Deeds G. R. Smith, Detective I. M. True, Sheriff K. K. Norton, County Chmmissioner Samuel Smith, Deputy Sheriffs H. T. Morse, K. li. Con nor. G. H. Ames. Janitor K. H. Jones, Editor Howard Owen, County Treasurer J. E: Blanchard, Col. E. C. Stevens, Governor Cleaves’ private secretary, Dep uty Sheriff Kildreth, Jan. 1, lsitj.

There are many remarkable successes on the road this season but none exceed the popularity enjoyed by the latest New York success, “She Couldn't Marry Three.” Press and public accord it an ovation wherever presented. The scenic effects are superb, the story an intense and interesting one, unlike the many un reasonable and unnatural plays with which the public are surfeited. It is full of hearty laughter, bright and catchy mu sic, the most sensational climaxes. The company is one of the strongest on the road, the scenery the most magnifi cent ever built, and as the curtain rises on each act, prolonged applause attest the public appreciation of each beautiful stage picture. The great scenic artists, Messrs. Daniel Crimmins and Herbert Speck, feel justly proud of their work on this production. “Hawaii.” Next Saturday evening at the Opera house, the Portland Athletic Club will produce the original diplomatic comic opera, “Hawaii,” recently given in Port land for three nights with great success. The company is a very largo one, num bering 60 people, including a complete or chestra. The opera is a satire on the re cent events in Hawaii, with the overthrow of the monarchy as the basis of the plot. The* scene of the first net is in the gor geous throne-room of the capitol at Hono lulu, and that of the second act in the gardens of the Iolani palace, the home of Hawaiian royalty. The first act is a clever burlesquo on the doings of the royal court, with a dus ky Queen and a bribe-taking prime min ister as the central figures, 'lhe curtain goes down on the revolution. The sec ond act merges into a patriotic tableau, wherein Uncle Stun kindly takes the Sandwich Islands under his protective wing. The principal charac ers art the im mense Queen, the little rrinvj minister, a missionary, the ambassadors, Extra Dry,” from England, China, Germany the and Fiji Islands, the adopted daugh ter of the Queen and the captain of the 1' S. S., Heston. The sale of scats will open Thursday morning. FOR HOT WATER AND STEAM. Illustrated Catalogues mailed free on aMd'cation Solo Agents for Central Maine. Estimr cheor fuliy given.

Address all communications relating to sub scriptions and advertisements to Burleiuii Flynt, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. The State Officers. The work of tlio Republican legislative carious last evening was mainly devoted to according able and experienced State officials merited re-nominations. The office of State treasurer, was the only one for which a now nomination was made, the term of the present encumbent, Gen. George L. Beal ot Norway, who has served the State so efficiently in this position lor the past six years, having expired by constitutional limitation. Hon. F. M. Simpson of Carmel, who was named as his successor, has had a wide and valua ble experience in the transaction of State business. He has served with credit in both branches of the Legislature, and has been a member of the last two executive councils, being chairman of the one which has just completed its work. He is a gentleman in every way qualified for the honorable position for which he has boon nominated and will bring to the du ties of the position, the tact, good judg ment, untiring industry, and pleasant address that have always characterized him. No man of his ago in Maine, has a larger number of friends, or is more worthy of the confidence and respect of his fellow citizens. Hon. James F. Brackett of Limington, who contested the place with him, has also seen service in the Legislature and for two terms as a member of the executive council. He was chairman of that body during his second term. Mr. Brackett is a gentleman of sterling character, and, although he failed to secure the position lie aspired to, his ambition was an honora ble one and he will carry to his home the sincere respect and good wishes of a largo circle of friends. Hon. Nicholas Fessenden, secretary of State, has made an excellent official, and his re-nomination was a merited one. The adoption of the Australian method of voting has put a considerable extra work upon the State department, and that Mr. Fessenden has been able to handle it without friction, and to the general satis faction of the people of the State speaks volumes, both for the thoroughness of his methods, and liis ready grasp of details. Mr. Fessenden has also been called upon to decide a number of points that have come up in the practical operation of the Jaw and it is everywhere conceded that he has done so ably and impartially. Hon. F. A. Powers who was re-nomi nated for attorney general, has made a record in that office of which any man might justly feel proud. Although Mr. Powers when he came to the position, had won a prominent place among the first lawyers of Maine, his conduct of its af fairs, has largely enhanced his reputation by giving the people of the whole State a knowledge of his high legal attainments. The masterly manner in which ho con ducted the famous Prawda murder trial, in particular, enabled the general public to appreciate the brilliant qualities that have given him eminence in his profes sion, at an age when most lawyers are just beginning to gather headway in its work. Hon. HnllC. Burleigh of Vassalboro, who was re-nominated for the l>oard of State assessors, has proved himself a fair mind ed and competent official. He is every where conceded to be an excellent judge of values and is an untiring worker. He well merited the honor bestowed upon him, and will not fail to do the State diligent and faithful service. Not long ago the Journal took occasion to refer editorially to the great importance of taking prompt measures in Maine to provide for a supply of the auti-toxine serum used in the new treatment of diph theria. This treatment is now announced, by leading physicians of Grmany and France, as woll as by a number in our own country, who have given the subject practi cal investigation, to be as positive a cure for diphtheria as vaccine is for small pox. It is also said to possess all the elements of a perfect cure. Professor Behring sum marizes the virtues of this new discovery, anti-toxine, as,first, absolute harmlessness to the human body; second,curtiveeffects and absolute power of rendering people proof against infection; third, no single factor is wanting to make it a perfect remedy for the disease it is intended to overcome. Professor Wederhofer, who used the anti-toxine only in cases where the disease had readied a critical stage, redued the mortality from an average of about 50 per cent, to 20 per cent.; while Dr. Roux, who used the remedy in the first stages of the disease, shows a lessening of the rate of mortality to 10 per cent. Professor Behring predicts that when the serum comes into general use, a reduction of the rate of mortality to 5 per cent, will result. In this country the new treatment is rapidly coming into general use, and the reports from various towns indicate a con siderable prevaleuoo of diphtheria at the present time and emphasize the importance of prompt steps lining taken by the medi cal profession of our State, to secure the Bupply of anti-toxine necessary to give these'sick with this dread disease the «»rcat benefits of the new treatment. yrgani/.atiou of tlic Legislature is jte, and with the announie keommittees, its work will e milliner or quosuons or Interest will come up for Id the session bids fair to to be hoped also,that ^Kpr.'ts a. hariponious ft THE NEW COUNCIL.
