For Delicacy; YOUNG HORSE THIEF A 12-Years-0ld Foxcroft Boy Is the Culprit. “Borrows,” Animal for a Ride and Fails to Return It. Attempt to Be Made to Save Part ot the Ice at Rich's Houses. Foxcroft, May 12—(Special).—Again this quiet little town has a sensation. This time a small French boy stole a horse. Every day, Ernest Bearee, an academy student, rides to school horse back, leaving his horse in the Congre gational horse-shed during school. Tuesday at recess, he found the horse gone, but thinking it a practical joke said nothing, but when after school the horse was not returned he became anx ious. He talked with I*. Martin, a blacksmith, who had seen Willie Micue, aged 12. ride past. Bearee communicated with County Atttorney Hayes, who, after making out papers, turned the case over to Deputy Sheriff Knowles. Micue was arrested on the railroad track and told the officer he hail taken the horse, rid den down into Sebee and hidden him in a shed at the camp ground. The horse was very tired, so tired that it could not eat any supper and is very stiff, but not permanently injured. Mieue's father is dead but the boy has a good home with his stepfather, John King. Since last January his mother has been unable to look after him, having been ill, and he has drift ed into some bad habits and has cut up pretty bad tricks. When locked up in a cell to await trial he cried pite ously. but a lesson was needed to check his waywardness. Judge Durgin, after taking out the evidence, which was strong enough against him to convict even though h hadn't admitted the crime, gave the boy some good advice and sentenced him to a fine of $10 and costs, equiva lent to 20 days in jail. As the parents are very poor he then suspended the mittimus until he is again caught in some crime, when both cases will be prosecuted. THE F.RE AT RICH S.

Portland. May 12. The following de cision has been received from the law Sagadahoc county. State of Maine vs. the Maine Central Railroad. Rescript by Judge Walton. The question is whcth* r the act of 181*1. chapter 124. giving a remedy by civil ac tion for an injury causing d.-ath. super seded the previously exhdting remedy by irulridi-ment. We think it did. The remedy by indictment was always regarded as anomalous and incongruous, it was es sentially a civil suit prosecuted for the benefit of private parties, but criminal in form and prosecuted at the public ex pense. It some particulars i't was sub ject to the rules of the criminal law. and in others it was governed by rules appli cable only to civil suits. It was appli cable to only a small class of cases, leav ing the other injuries of a similar char acter unprovided 'for. We think the act of 1891. chapter 124. was intended to rem edy these evils; that the purpose of the Legislature was to provide a more appro priate remedy and xtend its application. The act of 1891. chapter 124. after de scribing the nature of the injuries for which redress is to be had. then declares that in “every such case” -the remedy shall be by an action for damages. This language clearly includes the ease in which indictments had before been main tainable: and if the new remedy does not supersede the old one. two conflicting rurnt dies will exist for one and the same class of injuries. It is impossible to believe that the Leg islature intended such a result. And our conclusion is that the act of 1891. chap ter 121. supersedes and abrogates the remedy by indiy the chair.

POSTAL CONGRESS. The Magnitude of Uncle Sam’s Mail Business. The Greatest in the World-Some of the Big Items of Supply. Speaker Reed and Jerry Simpson Indulge in Firing Hot Shots. Washington, May 12.—(Special).—The deligittis to the international postal con gress have all l oon amazed at the magni tude of our American postal serivco They had heard a good deal al out it and knew the statistics which indicated its enormous extent, lint they had not been impressed by it fit long range as they have been since they have had an opportunity to see it with tlicir own eyes, it is something to the credit of the people of the United States that this young nation has the greatest postcfllee system in the world. As chance would have it, just as tho foreign delegates met here our postoffico depart ment issued its annual proposals for sup plies for the ensuing year. Copies of tiiis advertisement fell under tho notice of the di legates, and they did a good deal of talk ing about tho vast quantity of stuff it tukes to run our postal system duriug a twelvemonth. A Matter of Taper, The first thing that, attracted tho atten tion of the delegates was a request for bids on 8,830 reams of paper This paper, ail for the use of the postoffice depart ment, averages in weight about 25 pounds to the ream, and the weight of tiro whole therefore Is approximately 35 tons. Then there is the blotting paper In his postal operations Uncle Sam must do a great dull of blotting, for tho quantity asked foi is about 25 tons. The pa| r and the blot ting stuff aro only u beginning He wants 1,800 dozen scratch blocks, each of 100 teams, and he is very particular as to tire manner in which they shall be made Then ho asks for 800,000 blank cxnmiua tiun cards, each about 4 by 12, inches: also CO,000 sheets of cardboard 22 by 28 inches, tho total weight being about 30 tons. Oiioof tho biggest items in his list is 260,000,000ol’ printed “facing slips,” each ubeut S'A by 6 inches. These are used by the railway postal clerks and by clerks in postuilices in tying up hunches of letters. There are many other things ill the card line which Uncle Fain has to have in bis business, but it would take toe) much space to enumerate them all. A surprising limn tier of packing boxes matle of wood are used in the postal service in tho course of a year. No fewer than 1,600 of these are culled for, and their average size is H inches wide, 11 inches deep und 25 inches long. Tho department requires that these boxes shall bo manufactured in Washing ton. Minor Items of Supplies. Tho postal scrvlco is a glutton for rub brr bands. Four thousand four hundred aud twenty-five gross of rublx'r hands ol various sires i.ro asked feir of the largo Sizes. Of the smaller bands 9,000 pounds are wanted. A small item of rubber goods Is 400 pounds of bevel erasers and com blued pencil and ink erasers. An order etl 8,425 gross of steel pens indicates that the employee's of tin) postal service elo a vast amount of writing, especially when we re member that this specification is supple ntented by the following: Five hundred gross penholders. 275 dozen penholders, 060 dozen lienholders, 12,200 dozen black lead pencils, 1,500 doze n colon el pencils, 20 dozen automatic colored pencils, 20(1 boxes le ad for automatic colored pencils,hits ilozcn indelible automatic pencils, 6,00h boxes of lead for the same anel t,000 dozen colored pe ncils of unotlier sort. Of inks and mucilage Uncle Sant’s post albetys use enormous quantities, os wit ness the following items: One thousand two hundred and ten dozen black inks. 120 dozen carmine inks, 700 dozen quarts of mucilage, best quality; 200 gallons etl blue mucilage, to lie put up in 10 or 2( gallon vessels. Tho list of glass goods and steel articles is formidable enough to suit even tho contractors. Inkstands are want cd to the number e:f 500 dozen, and an equal tilt lit her of steel erasers are asked for. Carbon paper, licktngraph a per, rub ber stamps anel stamp pails, facsimiles ol signatures, press copy I eoks and such things are listed by the carload. Thirty-five thousand reams of wrapping paper weighing 20 pounds to tho ream it one item; 1,400,000 pounds of twine is an other; 6,000 letter balances and 2,000 let ter scales nro in the schedules, as well as 50 grocers' scales and 100 larger ones. The specifications for postmarking and rating stomps run up to t lie scores of thousands, und the amount of canceling ink needed for tho simple: purpose of spoiling the nice stumps which wo put on our letters is 20, 000 pounds. These figures huvo greatly impressed our fore ign visitors. A Fast Talker. In the house of representatives wo have now lightning talker. His name is James Hamilton Lewis, otto of the new men from the state of Washington. Mr. Lewis has already made his mark in the bouse. It was he who offered the resolu tion instructing Speaker Heed to appoint the committees of the house. He made a speech iu support of this resolution, and while it did not have any appreciable effect upon tho votes of ills fellow members, it did make tho official stenographers move their pencils fastor than they had ever moved them before. Mr. Lewis talked ut tho rate of about 205 words a minute for 15 minutes, which constitutes a record iu the house. Until Mr. Lewis had ids ad vent the record for fast talking was held by Mr. Johnson of Indiana. The Wash ington member speaks with great ease. The words do not come from his mouth in torrent, hut they slide out one after the other ns if they were greased. They are clearly spoken, too, though they follow wlth stupendous speed one upon the oth er's heels. It is said Mr. Lewis has often while making speeches in court reached it speed of over 800 words a minute. There are few stenographers that can keep up with him nt this rate. Speaker Heed and Jerry Simpson like to get In Bhots at one another. One day, wliilv* the houso was in considerable disor der, Jerry thought to score a point by call ing the speaker's attention to the liubbubi that was going on. Standing in the mid dle aisle, he exclaimed: “Mr. Speaker, lot us have order.” “As soon os gentlemen standing in the ■Isles have taken their seats,” responded tha speaker, “the chair will endeavor to xeatore order in the house.” Then the laugh was on Jerry. Ho drop fwd into his scut with a smile on his face, and the house quieted down. The retail dealer who advertises. "We i always give just what you ask for." and Uvea up to his pmmlsu, is certain of a good Ir&gr. HON. E. C. BURLEIGH (Continued from page 1.) deep regret that was felt over the death of the late Hon. S. L. Milllken. 1Since the day that it was determined that some man must be chosen to suc ceed the late statesman, there has been hut one name mentioned in connection with the office: "He is nearest the hearts of the people in the third dis I trict. He. the clear headed, clear minded, the honest devotee to the in terests of the I'ine State,” said the speaker. Mr. Carleton seconded tic nomination of Hon. Edwin C. Burleigh. Thunders of applause followed. Hon. A. M. Spear of Kennebec, was recognised and although he desired to stand in his place, the convention inJ sisted upon his taking the stage. Mr. Spear spoke eloquently and t ar nestly of the service of the late con gressman and he was equally as ear nest and spoke eloquently of the solid character of the Hon. E. C. Burleigh. A. I. Brown of Belfast, got the eye of the chair and was called to the plat form. Mr. Brown touched feelingly upon the death of his late fellow citi zen and late congressman. Waldo joins with Kennebec in supporting the honorable gentleman from Augusta recognizing in him the friend of the late congressman. Forrest Goodwin of Skowhegan, o:n •jf Somerset's brilliant young Republi can leaders, followed: He felt honored for the opportu nity to second the nomination oi Hon. E. C. Burleigh. Somerset count;, lias for some time conceded to Ken nebec tilt- honor of choosing tin representative to Congress and turning to the Kennebec delegation the speak er said: "Therefore when you picked from out of the long list of youi honored and eminent citizens, the name of Hon. Edwin C. Burleigh we rise to join you in his support." (Applause.) Mr. Goodwin spoke in words of wann est praise of the character and servic to his party and State of Hon. E. Burleigh and then paid an eloqu-nt tribute to the memory of the dead statesman, Hon. Seth L. Milliken. The speaker touched upon the person al friendship of the dead leader for the to Vie nominee of the convention. Speeches of this order Doing in businetw of the. .lay. l>r. R. I..

We recognize our great loss in his death: and we offer to bis bereaved family tender and heartfelt sy m pat hies. Resolved. that tins; convention presents to the people of the third congressional district, as a candidate for Congress, the Honorable Edwin C. Burleigh f Au gusta. The convention is not unmindful »f the illustrious men that have represen ted this district in Congress during tlie 77 years that Maine has been one of the states of the Union. They recall with pride the public achievements, and the national reputation won by our rep resentatives.

Ills remarks were enthusiastically plaudctl. Ho »a1d: Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Convention: The nomination which you so cordi ally tender me, renting as it does with such unanimity. 1 regard as the crown ing honor of my life. Standing here in the presence of the representatives of ime of the strongest and most Intelli gent constituencies of our country. I urn profoundly sensible of the great obligations and grave responsiblliti *s it imposes. I am not unmindful of tin* difficulti» which a new man must encounter in assuming the dulies so long and so ably performed by him whose magnetic pns ence has so lately passed out from among us. and by his illustrious prede cessors. Their eloquent and potent voices in the councils of the nation art forever hushed. 1 endorse most sin cerely all the kind words that have been said of our late honored repre sentative. He was my friend. I am glad to believe that he trusted me. Almost every day we are forced to real ise that no event of life or death cun impede or obstruct the endless match of affairs. Cherished memories of the illustrious dead will live and linger forever, but events move on and the living must move with them. When the action of this great con vention shall have been endorsi 1 an 1 ratified by the people at the polls I can only begin as others have before me. In doing so i shall doubtless tax tin patience and I must ask the indulgence of the people of this disliiet. To the discharge f the great duties that will devolve upon me 1 shall bring rny best endeavor, my honest, persistent and industrious effort, to the end that the interests of my constituents shall not suffer but shall be fairly represented in the Congress of the Cnitcd Slates. I need net recapitulate the articles of my political faith. They are written in the platforms of the Republican party To their advancement and final incor poration in the public policy of tic country 1 shall lie as deeply devoted in the future as 1 have been in the past. Again, gentlemen, I thank you for this generous expression of your confidence and good will. The convention -then adjourned and Mr. Burleigh held a reception on the stag*' for an hour or more.

President Byrne of the Brooklyn club is not in good health and contemplates a trip to Asheville, N. C. Bob Allen, the old Philadelphia short stop, now with Detroit, is delighting the Western fans by his .marvelous work at short. Arthuh Clarkson, who is with Mil waukee, has been hit so hard by tin1 Western teams that Manager Mack has given him a lay off. commercial: Kelley, ot last years Augustas, is playing a remarkably clever game fur Newport. Kelley is a gentleman, a credit to a team. joe Harrington is playing short for Taunton. This player has been a great disappointment. A year or two ago li promised to be a star, but he fell far short of expectations in fast company. An exchange says: Mr. Soekalexis. a “nigh" relative to Hiawatha, made his customary home run for the Cleve lanw team, yesterday. More Indians are wanted in the National League at once. President Freedman has protested to Nick Young against the detention of Umpire Sheridan on the National League staff. It is said that charge of intemperance will be made again.-1 the official. Commercial: Tommy Connelly fined Jack Horner for calling him down on his decisions, Friday. If Tomilij doesn’t watch out, a ltangor base ball critic fears that others of the- Horner family will pull his locks. Rockland Star: Tierney, who pitched for Rockland last season, is passing a few da vs in town and it is probable that he will tie given a trial on Manager Quinn's ti-aim. Tierney is well likfl i*> tile eity and did some good work in the box last summer. Portland Express: After a lapse of an even dozen years. Journalist I )Hwor !i and Tom McDermott again find them selves in the same team. In ’sr> they formed the battery for the Newbury ,ports and in they will be together m the Belfast aggregation. A deal was made at Louisville. Tues day. icy which Jimmy Stafford will go to Louisville, while "Ducky Holmes will become left fielder for the giants. Dolan will undergo an operation for his sore arm. and Stafford will take his place at short. The latest base ball yarn is a good thing. It accuses Pat Tebeau of build ing little banks of earth along the has lines—from first to home and home to third. The idea is that a rolling ball especially a bunt-will be kept inside the diamond and prevented from turn foul. Uobe: Those youngsters not fast ough for the big league are now fting back into the small clubs from icre they went last fall, with heaps confidence. Fred Doc was in ston. Tuesday. He has several good ers from minor league teams, but II not leave New England, tocklan.l Star: Tom Murphy, who ived third base for Thomaston lust •r has reported to Managcr Qutnmfor ie t ice. Murphy was one of Thomas i s strongest players both at the bat .1 In the field, and should prove an ac isttion to the Rockland team. Ib it game of the season will 'take plait, xt Friday, with the strong Montreal ill of the Canadian League. Icorge Monroe has joined John Ir n's Taunton's, to play third base, turday he made three hits, two put ts and five assists without an error. ie Fall River Globe says of nim. lis stay among the Eastern leaguers s taught Georgie how to coach and said more yesterday than the whole of last season. The Pawtucket people that Boston will make a great mistake if it doesn t take Pitcher Todd. They say he is a star but Boston is not particulaily partial to New England League stars. The preference there is for them to go West and grow up with the country. Then Boston is willing to buy them fot a good fat price.

Every indication points m he conclusion that this, followed up. will n a few years result in greatly increas ug tiie number of lolrsters. and will prob iblv save ‘the valuable lobster lisheries ,1 Maine. The report that an attempt is "lie made to bring seed lobsters to Maine from Nova Scotia is pronounced neorrect. The Nova Scotia law regard n,, Hte preservation of the lobster is in he main 'the same as the law here, and lie fishermen there are not allowed to ake seed lobsters, and so they are not amt here or elsewhere.

LLEWELLYN POWERS. By tho Governor: BYRON BOYD. Secretary of State. Third District Convention. It was a representative gathering of the lit publicans of the old Third dis triot that assembled at Waterville, with full ranks, yesterday, to nominate a successor to the late Congressman Miltiken. The proceedings of the con vention wire characterized by harmony and enthusiasm. Never were the Re publicans of the district more united in their devotion to party principles than they are today. They may lie de pended til on to enter vigorously into tile work of (lie canvass and roll up a rousing majority for their candidate. The eloquent tributes paid the mem ory of Mr. Millikcn, showed the strong hold he had upon the affections of the members of his party whose political principles lie so long and so eloquently advocated, and whose interests he served, in common with those of! the members of all parties, with conspicuous ability and fidelity in the National House of Representatives, during the long period of 14 years. Tin people of the Third district may well cherish the memory of his distinguished career in the life of our State, and in the councils of the nation. Rut “Events move on, and the living must move with them.” Only a few more weeks remain before the special election called by Governor Powers to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr. Mil liken’s death. There must be no feel ing of over-confidence among the* Re publicans of the Third District. Every effort should be made, not only to bring out a full vote at the polls, but to per fect and strengthen the party organi zation for the contests of the future. Governor Black of New York ha? signed the bill which prohibits -hound ing and jac king deer in that state foi a period of five years. Gomez will capture Wcyler’s cam; furniture some of these days wher Weyler is out writing proclamation: on the reign of pear If money makes the marc go, if !u1*1 Greeks if they had been given oppor tunity. Hut they have had placed over them an alien dynasty that surrounded itself with flatterers and leeches and burdened the impoverished people in peace and led them on the retreat when the enemy appeared. The Powers, which now assume the role of peace makers, allowed Turkey to take more territory on the border than belonged to her by right of settlement at the close of the previous war; otherwise her advance through the mountain passes might not have been so success ful litis time. Hut Turkey wants more tenitory and a handsome indemnity, and according to the usages of war fare is entitled to it. How is it possi ble? Greece has not the territory now that she actually needs; she has no money' with which to pay the indem nity, nor credit on which to borrow the money on terms not positively ruinous. Can all this l>e peacefully' settled? Will Turkey submit to Ik* led away by the ear from the prize for which she fought? It seems so, although some assume to see portents. Not Endorsing the Bald Scheme. The: middle-of-the-road Populists and at least some of the 'straight-out Democrats are not endorsing the bald scheme now being tried in this congressional district, judging from what may be heard on all sides and from the published interviews on the subjt ct. It is well understood by them that both calls, that for the Democratic and that for the Populist convention at Pittsfield, today, were prepared by the Democratic district committee, set up in the office of a Democratic organ, ami sent out from there. Such a bare-faced scheme to unite the two parties in this district and destroy the* identity of the Populist party, while leaving that of the Demo era tic party in scarcely rocpgnizabi shape, is not meeting with the effect desired by its promoters. The Hnuse sent that Senate amend ment, to annul the forestry order, to a committee of conference, but it is not done in such a way as to warrant much hope that the order will be allowed to go into effect. However, if the reasons for defeating it are not given more spe c ifically than they have been, the pub lic will scarcely be satisfied. They want to see the order, if it be imperfect, amended, but they do not want to see the reservation again opened to those who care nothing for the future, pro vided they can get a dollar out of to day. There is a marked difference of opin ion respecting the relative revente* merits of the tariff bill as the House left it and as the Senate committee I dt it. Chairman Dingley gives good grounds for the belief that is in him that the Senate tinkering has reduced rather than increased the revenue ca aeity of tne measure, aside from th* tea and beer schedules. There’s been no fuss about recognis ing the Turko-Grecian war, though the “effusion of blood” Salisbury sighs about does not appear to have much, if any. exceeded the blood-letting in Cuba, while the Greek generalship as ompared with the leadership of the Cubans is decidedly inferior. Congress appears to regard Pearl Harbor as a pearl of cheap price. t i It has been a number of years since citizens of Portland had an oppor tunity to see shipbuilding operations! conducted within the city limits. This! s month thekeel of a vessel was stretched on the dump at the foot of Chestnut y street, and a worthy addition to the local licet is expected to rise there in a few weeks. Life's Epitome.

Auburn Populists Repudiate All Fusion Tactics. Say, “Middle of the Road” Patriots Won’t Bite at Bait. No Third District Alliances with Democracy for Them—Interviews on the Subject. (Lewiston Journal.) A preeminent "middlr-of-the-i oub Populist, who is stirred up over tlu re ported fusion in tin* third congressional district in Maine, says as follows: The report sent out from al'*i vlll unite in the third district and nominate a fusion candi date for Congress, has created consid erable interest and no small degree of indignation among members t ‘*ie faith all over the State. Of all states in tilt* Cnion, Maine Populists prid them sclv-s on having trie straight 's: sort in middle of the road. In old gi nback days they claim that they were s >1 I iu!, and that the lesson then learned >ould never be repeated. Hut it is the ;,,tme old Story. As soon as lit ere i.-1 an nice in sight (here are always enough nf the leaders ready to fuse with any thing that will tiling them within .sight of and In touc h with the loaves and Ashes, it s hut Just lee to say that th.- great majority of tin party Is strong.y op posed to thus selling out th.-i: prinei I les for a mess of State [siting.-, i his tales! deal has especially exei(“,| .m ire.

They also claim that th •oh is In illg put Up liy shr- W I llelll" i-ratie politicians for that express pnr lH.se. It is very evident that the m* i who take this vh w know m u ahoui the game of polities than th s- '.'.'lie an advocating fusion. Fusion always k.li the weaker party, and (Ids they an wise enough to know. They also claim and history seems to bear them "U1 in the assertion, that whenever a fusion deal is made it always strengthens lie Republican party. Tie Populists an .KinO'-rats fused in Waldo county last fall and were almost completely wipe I .ifT the eaith. n se ,Uenee iuigcly increased tlicir vole l.esi are historical facts, and th** P j. ulists who tielieve in a straight .igli are disposed to make the most ol -hem.

The lirst man visited a. jos-ph M. Stockman, who is ehalrtiuiu if til- IV.pui'Rl State committ Ml Rto-'kman exhibited much feeling ovi-t the matter and expr. ssed hins-lf u ly. He said: "If this proposed fusion deal is carried out in the third district it 'v in smip>> ii" i 1 map in llistt section.

He is playins with tire and lie will Rr‘ badly singed before he gets through. I sincerely hope that this fusion store may prove false and that the true Pop ulists of the old Third District will stand firmly by their principle;. This they can do by keep ing entirely clear from the Demo cratic party. Mr. r.. i luriei v..i- in st ti.

H* is very Viitter in denouncing the movement in the third district. Mr. Turner said: •*I can sav all I want to about this mat ter in a very few wonls. It is 'the old I >i m.K-ratic trick. They know th.it th«‘> eannot elect a man themselves and by endorsing some putty man calling him self a Populist it will give them a hold over our party iu the future. If ever the time comes that there is a ghost of a chance to elect a man against the Repub licans the democrats will name one of their old leaders. No man falling him self a Populist will count then. If Lan caster til lows himself to be used as a decoy lie will be a dead duck in the polit ical pond. Under such circumstances he will not get even a respectable fragment of the Populist vote. I very much doubt that any Populist ever issued such a call as is reported from the third district, i again repeat, it is a Democratic trick and will get no encouragement or sup port ifreun the true Populists ot Maine. “I object 'to any further fusion with the silver I democracy on account of the had faith exhibited by Mr. Bryan and his managers toward the Populists at St. Louis, lie notified his henchmen. Allen and Jones, hut did not notify 'the conven tion. Those men were the Judases of the occasion and misled the convention. Il'istory repeats itself. No number two fusion for me in Maine.” Uapt. J. iE. Ashe of Auburn, who was the secretary of the State committee two years ago. and who is one of the most influentiinl leaders of the party, was next visited. If anything he was even more emphatic than the others in his opposi tion to tin* scheme of fusion in the third district. “I am a straight, middle-of-the-road Populist.” said he. “and have had all I wanlt of this fusion business. If our men haven’t learned any common-sense by the fusion deals of the past then they had better go «to the Democrats for good. That is where such men will land and the quicker tin* better. We will have the satisfaction of knowing that they will be used as mop rags by their new mas ters. 1 voted for Bryan last year but will chop my fingers off before I will ever do so again.

Committees on Decorations and Invitations Hold Meetings. Some Plant lor the Day—Programme Pait ially Decided Upon. Th.‘ several committees on the Au gusta celebration have ha.I much on their hands to decide the past few lays, as the more they do, as in all other cases of a similar nature, the more they find to do. The committees on decoration and invitation held meet ings, Wednesday. The former met in the office of M. S. llolway, Kso., and organized in th. election of Mr. Alden rhilhrook. chair man. It was voted that a committee! of live be constituted to take charge of! tilt1 work and make arrangements for the decorations to be made about the Public places, including the City hall, t.nd Morfunicnt park, and probably the Kennebec bridge. Hunting and flags will chiefly constitute the decorations. This committee will be Mr. Frank Haskell, chairman; Mrs. James K. Fui 1 r. Miss Harriet Marti, y, Mr. Alden Philbrook, and Mr. W. H. Gannett. The committee invites and urges that tlie citizens decorate their residences and places of business; and have them illuminated at night. Japanese lan terns. and other transparencies of a pretty description will be generally adopted. The committee on invitations met in the afternoon at the office of Leslie O. Cornish, Ksq. Thomas J. Lynch. Lstp, was made chairman and Mrs. Frederick Con> secretary of the committee. The fhvitattf-.ns will lie ready to send out in a week or ten, days. They will tie engraved. The committee will make up the list to include all people who can possibly lie reached, who are descendants of some of the old Augus ta families, and who reside away; an.l also of those people who were formerly residents here, and who have moved to other places. The committee includes twelve persons, who are well acquaint ed with the history of Augusta people, and who will of themselves be in a good way to know where those who have gout' are located. While the definite programme f the day is far from being decided upon, it is thought that, in the morning, the invocation will be given at Monument park. There will he music on this oc casion. furnished by the Togus band. There will also be some kind of gath ering of Augusta school children with the teachers, and singing appropriate to the day will be given. In the afternoon, in City hall, the address of the day will be given by Chief Justice Fuller, with the poem by Mrs. Nason. There will also be music by tiie band there; and singing by the Augusta chorus of the Maine Musical Festival. In the evening the banquet will be served in City hall. The speakers have not yet been de cided upon; but there will be quite a number, perhaps 15, and the remarks will be short. Music will be provided at this as well as at the other meetings, making a prominent and most appro priate feature of the occasion. This day of days, June 9, is near at hand: and all Augusta expectantly waits. On to '.Yaterville. It was a very pleasant .gathering a; the Augusta station. Wednesday nn ril ing, waiting for the train to take the parly to Waterville to attend the Third District convention. When the train ar rived it was well filled with delega tions from further down the river. Ex-Governor Burleigh, accompanied l,v Mrs. Burleigh, arrived shortly be fore the train rolled in, and, at the station and on the train, was warmly greeted, his recent illness having lefi it doubtful to many if he would be aide In attend the c onvention should he so desire.

The Maim* State Mechanical, Indus trial and ('rival (exhibition was formal ly opened, Wednesday, May 12, b> Mayor Randall and th» city govern ment of Portland. The greatest inter est all over the St.u.• has been excite I by the preparations for this great show, and it was an immense crowd that gathered to witness the opening cere monies on Wednesday. Promptly at 1 o’clock the ldg doors of the Auditorium were thrown open, and the waiting peo ple quickly filled the available space on the great lloor. At 1.30 Mayor Kandad and the city government of Portland entered the hall, escorted by the Ameri can Cadet Band, and took seats on the’ lofty ami conime dious stage. The band, then rendered a new march, written ex I ressly for and dedicated to the exhibi tion, at the close «.f which Mayor Ran dall. in a brief and pithy address, wel comed tiie public to the great fair and paid well deserved tribute to the en terprise and business inteUiger.ie dis played in the inception and consumma tion of this great exhibition. F. !i. Bcothby, Ksq.. president of the Port land Board f Trade. followed His Hon or with a short address, devotel chiefly to pointing out the jmportance and value to Portland, common dally, of such enterprises. Then, amid applaus the stirring strains of music, and gen eral felicitation. His Honor pressed th magic button, and the great exhibition was pen. It is impossible in the- lim it! d space at command to give an ade quate idea of the novelties, beauties and marvels of this big show. The huge hall is filled to overflowing with exhibits, and one may pass hours wan dering up and down the spacious aisles finding something to interest or in struct at each step. In the basement the amusements are congregated, chief among them is the wonderful cinmnn* tograph, which has come here from a live months’ run in New York. Suffice it is to say that a visit to this exhibition cannot fail to repay many times ov -r or.d judging from the attendance tin first day, thousands from all over the Slate will avail thems Ives of the op portunity offered by low fares and lib eral tickets. A grocery Pam, owned by Sewall Cross, came to grief, recently. Tito horse escaped alive, in fact, practically unhurt: hut the wonder is that every hone in his gn at body was not broken It was all his fault, anyway, lie had been left by the driver near Frank Moore's house, on Cushnoc Heights, right where the steep embankment near by the mill goes down to the very river—a wicked slant it is. While the driver was away, the horse espied at a short distance, some nice, fresh, green grass tha: he has for many springs feasted uivon. So, he made for it, and as he pulled at the delicious stuff he heeded net that he had wandered from the paths where horses who pass that way are wont to tread. The wagon finally got so near the edge of the banking that it caught the grade, and with one exultant tug pulled the horse with it. Over and over went tire two, down the steep embankment. The gro ceries Hew in all directions, hurled far cut into the river. "Why did I do it? Why, oh, why did I eat that grass?" the poor horse was heard to cry, as he landed all in a heap at the foot of the hill. One by one the pieces of the broken team were pulled from un lei him, as he lay there waiting for death to take him away. He saw the river flowing by, and longed to bathe his aching head in its cool waters. Then his eyes grew dim anil all was dark. Hut he was not dead, only overcome by the shock. He soon recovered Ills senses and stood upright. One by one he trieil his legs, and then walked away with his master, a penitent horse. "That grass was awful good," was all he said, "but it came high.” Examine the labels and trademarks of proprietary articles. Imitations are com mon. and in some cases the difference between them and the genuine Is so slight as to escape careless observation. Beware of dishonest shopkeepers and salesmen. j STATE HOUSE NOTES. Governor and Council Will Meet. Frida] Morning—Other Matters. Governor Powers ami the Executive Council will meet, Friday morning, at 10 o’clock, for the purpose of confirming j nominations, anil such routine business as may come up for their consideration, j Among other matters will be that of hearing the pardon petition for the re lease of James Lowell who is serving a life sentence at State’s prison for mur d. r.

Farrington returned from Rockland, Wednesday, whore he at tend* d the inspection of Company H, 1st Regiment, by Col. L. H. Kendall. It was a very pleasant occasion, ami Col. Farrington speaks highly of the comi any at Rockland—the way it is conducted, and the men who are en rolled in its ranks. The members all appear to be first class men. and take a lively interest in the company’s work. Tin ir drill nights are made especially pleasant by the presence of visitors. After the woik, music is provided, and a dance is in order. i 1xtoii stabbed Palmer in th*1 neck. Janus Calvin Armstrong of West I^llsworth. was found dead, Tuesday morning, in his house.

Wednesday, re ported a sealed verdict in the ease of Ferdinand Penley vs. Maine Central Railroad Co. The jury was out about an hour. Tuesday afternoon, not com ing to a decision until too late to report. The verdict was for plaintiff for $500. Three thousand dollars were the figures named in the suit, the claim being for damage to the plaintiff's property along Turner street in Auburn, dur ing the Hood of March 1, 1*1*6. The lumber dealers and those inter ested in tin- great pulp mills along tin* line f the Grand Trunk are disposed to believe that, for the the first time in many years, the annual drive will be se cured without the great losses of former y< urs. While there is still a great deal of snow left in the mountains, the Andros coggin river is low, and i't is not believed that any ordinary rain could possibly take it off rapidly enough to endanger the dirves. Reports from the various 'lumbt r points indicate that the drives of pu!p wood are safe, and the great rear drives are now being rapidly taken along. It is believed th.it a much larger per cent, of the cut will be secured this year than has been the case for several years. The pulp wood drives represent what may be termed the local cut. while the rear drives, as they are called, are made up of lumber cut among the moun tains. __ Standard, reputable articles are not dear at tin* prices asked for them. Sub stitutes offered by unscrupulous and ir responsible makers are costly at any fig ure. He sure that no humbug is prac ticed on you when you go to buy. ^TMEJRIUHPR OF LOVE!

The members of the common council were late in getting around, last even ing. and it was 8.25 o’clock when Mayor ltedington called to order. In board of municipal officers the mayor read a petition from the New England Telephone and Telegraph Co., asking for the permit to set poles for the company's wire along the follow ing streets: Kennebec, Green, Sum mer and Gold. This brought about considerable discussion. Alderman Bang believed that the granting of tile I*ermit would be a benefit to the city. Aldermen Fitzpatrick, Purinton amt Wilson were of the opinion that it would benefit thy city, providing the company will abandon the west side of Water street. To run a line down tlie west side of Water street would so narrow up the street that it would make it bad and probably unsafe. in the lstard of mayor and aldermen, an order came up from the common council calling for the raising a com mittee to consist of Alderman Purin ton. Councilinen Merrill and II. W. Dunn of the board of education for the purpose of calling upon Mrs. Scribner and try to arrange for a price for her land, a portion of which the council lias now made consideration for a school house. Resolving into Hoard or municipal officers again, the mayor read the con tract now existing between the city and the telephone company. By Alderman Bang it was moved that the petition he granted. Alderman Oilpatrick struck for the freedom or Water street. Alderman Purinton wanted it inserted that if the company use Water street they cannot continue on the new streets. It was a tangle that the aldermen could not straighten out to their sat isfaction. Hon. S. S. Brown suggested that the permit he granted and the permit to continue in force only us long as no wires are put up in Water street. Alderman Wilson presented an order granting the prayer of the above com pany provided the company relinquish their rights on Water street granted, last year. The order was placed before the house and resulted in a tie vote. Mr. Brown suggested that the permit should read: "This permit shall con tinue so long as the company makes no use of Water street except for a single connection. This order was given a passage. Alderman Wilson desired to make a statement regarding the police patrol, that Mr. Hubbard has told the aider man that he (Mr. Hubbard) would not allow Officer Simpson to go out of the premises to arrest anyone. While the Maine Central is paying him. Simpson has a beat a mile in length, entirely on the property of the Maine Central. He would of course arrest any disorderly person in the immediate vicinity of the railroad property, but he could not be expected to fro any considerable dis tance away front the company prop eFAlderman Purinton raised an objec tion to there being two officers on tne main streets, and he believed that one man should be sent to the upper pan of the city in the vicinity of the depot. Alderman Wilson said some folks are getting pretty bold up there of late. Maine Water Company’s Finances. The following will be of Interest to Watervnie water takers at this time: Portland.
