BOOTHBAY'S GREAT WATER FIGHT. A Village and Town Quarrel Brought to the Legislature. Many Town Meetings and Much Le gal Quibbling to be Ended. Old-Time Hostlle'.Feellngs May Bring Town Division. [Special to the Press.] Augusta, Jan. 9—The petition introduced in the House this morning by Mr. Race of Boothbay for the division of that town, opens what promises to be one of the great •ontests of the session. For over a year the people of Boothbay have been in a quarrel, and now, having failed to settle it among themselves, they are coming to the legisla ture for relief. The quarrel is one of those old quarrels such as have long happened where there is a smart village yoked with other villages and a farming communi ty who can outvote them. The demand for a system of water works is the immediate cause of the strife, though there have been other causes of grief such as the denial of a night watchman to the people of the village. The need of water works is very great in Boothbay village. Insurance rates are 4 or 5 per cent where any insurance can be ob tained, while the National of Hartford and the New England Insurance Vnion have boycotted the place and will not take risks. The first attempt to get the town to en courage a system of water works was at the March meeting in 1887, when the article was dismissed. But there was a special May meeting in 1887, at which the town voted, 224 to 164, to give a rental of $1200 a year for 25 years for not less than 20 hydrants; vil lage sentiment preponderated at this meet ing,not over a third of the voters of the town being present. To this $1200 the school dis trict composing the village, voted an addi tional $250, making $1450 rental in all that could be used for the encourage ment of the formation of a com pany. At this May meeting a com mittee composed of A. R. Nickerson, D. H. luuuuy nuu 1 uuiuas ouyu wna uiu.'cu w cuu tract with the Boothbay Water Company for a system. A contract was executed Dec. 12, 1887. No notice of that contract was given to the town in its March meeting of 1888, the treasurer of the water company having, the selectmen say, sent word to them, requesting them that no article be put in the warrant calling for the report of the water works committee. The selectmen first saw the con tract about April 1st. They then objected to it on the ground that it was not in accord ance witli the vote of the town. An amend ment was offered by the waterworks com pany, but the selectmen did not approve of it. Eminent counsel, Symonds Libby for the town, and A. P. Gould and O. D. Baker for those who favored the water works, were employed, but no settlement has been attain ed. In J uly, 1888, another town meeting was held, and it was voted, much against the wish of the village people, who turned out in full force, neither to increase the appro priation for rental of hydrants (a step which would give revenue sufficient to induce a stronger company than the Boothbay Water Company to take bold of the work), nor to gut in a system to be constructed and owned y the town. The village people took this refusal as a final denial to them of all effectual town help towards a system of waterworks. The town people say, however, that they did not intend any such thing. The contract, if made, would have been arranged by the old com mittee, composed of Messrs. Nickerson, Moody and Boyd, and .the town .people con sidered that tha committee s powers had lapsed by reason of their failure to report at the March meeting. The article for a town system they voted down, the town people say, because they thought the town couldn’t afford it, even if all doubts as to the contract were removed. The State and National elections absorbed attention for a while, but after they were over, 20 citizens of the village petitioned the selectmen for a meeting and were denied. Thereupon G. B. Kenmston, justice of the peace, called one on petition of 31 citizens. The selectmen wouldn’t call the meeting be cause they said they couldn’t legally do it as it conflicted with a previous vote of the town as to calling meetings. At the meeting railed by the justice of the peace a strong company offered to construct a system of waterworks exactly in accord ance with the vote of the town at the meet ing of May, 1887, provided they could have the old offer as to rental of hydrants. But the town meeting wouldn’t listen to the pro position on the ground that the committee appointed May, 1887, (which was to make this contract also), had no legal authority to do it. The village people then considered the last vestige of hope of town help gone, and began to take steps for separation. The pe tition presented today brings the matter be fore the legislature. For the village people Luther Maddocks, A. K. Nickerson and F. B. Green are here, with Baker Cornish as counsel, to help along. For the town peo ple, who held that Boothbay has a village charter that would do, there will be here J. R. McDougall, J. E. Kelley and F. Boynton. Representative Race was chairman of the board of selectmen, and his sympathies are with the town people, but he says he shall use his position to give both sides every ad vantage. The Fisheries and Came Com* mlttee. The committee on fisheries and game as it is now constructed deals with two very dif ferent subjects. The fishery branch of its duties relates principally to the food fishes and the great industry of their capture and use; the game branch relates solely to the preservation of our game for sporting and hunting purposes. It is the idea of Repre sentative O. B. Whitten of Portland that there should be two committees to deal with the two subjects, and this idea has met the approval of Speaker Dow and others inter ested in the subject. So this morning an or der was introduced in the Senate making two joint standing committees, one on the fisheries and the other on the game. Senator Hinckley, chairman of the committee on uoiici lea auu fillin', tiring nunrui, ocuoiui Heatn tabled the order until Mr. Hinckley’s return. It is not understood that Mr. Hinck ley would be opposed to the plan, but it was thought that he should be consulted. In case of the division into two commutes Mr Whitten would probably be chairman on the part of toe House of the committee on the fisheries; while Mr. Gilford of Auburn, who was House chairman two years ago, would have the same place on the game com mittee. Bills, Petitions, Etc., Introduced in the House. Petition of Charles Walker and others of Lewiston, in favor of the protection of dogs; by Mr. Cloutier of Lewiston. Petition of W. P. Whitehouse, Orville I). Baker and others to amend law in relation to salaries of county officers. Referred to Ken nebec county delegation.

Mr. Mauley of Augusta introduced this morning an order for the judiciary committee to amend the Revised Statutes to conform to a peculiar situation. As the law of Maine now is, the Presidential Electors are required to meet in December; but under the new United States law next Monday is the legal time of meeting. The judiciary committee on receiving the order presented by Mr.Man ley, will report a bill which will be hurried through in time, so that the Electors will meet Monday, in obedience to both State and national law. The Senate reconsidered its vote, by which the contract for the State printing was left with a committee, and inserted the amend ment, subject to the approval of the legisla ture. The House concurred. Somerset county people petition that their September term ol S. J. Court may meet on the third Tuesday of September, instead of the first Tuesday, as now required. Mr. Walton, of Somerset, presented the petition of the corporators and officers of the Waldo Somerset railroad in the Senate j today, that public necessity and convenience j required that a railroad be constructed from the terminus of the Belfast Moosehexd railroad in Burnham, through Canaan, Corn vllle, Athens, Brighton, Solon, Bingham, Moscow, Carratunk and The Forks, tnence by the most direct and feasible route to tha Maine International railroad, meeting |it near Moose River Plantation; and the peti tioners pray that the charter of said compa ny be amended so as to allow the construc tion of said road, fixing the capital stock at not less than $100,000, and not to exceed $200,000, the period of three years to be al lowed for the completion of the road. Veteran soldiers of the House and Senate are signing a petition for the appointment of L B. Hill of Augusta as State pension clerk. There Is considerable red tape about swear Ing in a member of the Governor’s Council. It Is done in joint convention of the two bouses. The councillors are all sworn in to gether at the first of the session, when they are elected if they are all there. If they are not, a special joint convention is convened. Hon. William T. Cobb of Rockland was ab sent when his associates were sworn, and this morning a special joint convention was formed on his acoount.

Its Coining Heralded by a Rainbow in the Sky, Then the Wind and Darkness Hold Their Sway, While Fire Comes to Their Aid with Deadly Result. Four Men Roasted to Death iu a Read ing Paint Shop. A Crowded Factory Building Collapses in the Same City, And Nearly One Hundred Girls are Be* lievrd to Have Perished. Lives Lost bv the Fall of a Building in Pittsburg. Outario Fast Bound Beneath a Coating of lee. Reading, Pa., Jan. 9.—A cyclone swept over the northern section of the city today and laid waste everything within its reach, with terrible loss of life. The most reliable computation, at 10 o'clock tonight, is that not less thau eighty persons were killed out right and ICO injured. The story of the calamity is as follows: It rained very hard all the morning, but ceased ialmost entirely towards noon. At about 4.30 the sun tried to penetrate the clouds and a rain bow appeared in the east ern sky overhead. This continued an hour and then the scene changed with a sudden ness appalling. The fleecy clouds gave way to signs of a coming storm. Darkness and gloom settled over the city and there was an ominous stillness. Then the wind whistled, roared and tore in mad confusion. In the West, a tornado was seen approaching 2C3 feet wide. Tlie effect was terrible. Persons residing along the track of the storm say they saw the first signs of danger in a funnel shaped maelstrom which seemed to gather up everything within reach and and cast it to the right and left. Out in tlie country, HOUSES AND 11AHNS WEltE UNBOOKED, out-buildings overturned, croops rooted up and destruction spread in every direction. The cyclone passed along the northern border of Reading and first touched the lit. Penn stone works, cutting off a portion of the roof as nicely as if done with a pair of scissors, l'lieu the storm cloud scurried across some fields and took off a portion of the roof of J. II. Ilembergh’srolling mill and unroofed a number of other houses. It hur ried across tlie property of the Reading rail road and crossed the track, overturning a passenger car and scattering its splinters in every direction. Meanwhile the rain poured in torrents and the air became heavy and op pressive. It was almost as dartc as night. Directly along the track of the Reading road was the paint shop of the road, a one story building, 00x150 feet in size. Here about 30 men were painting nine passenger cars built at tlie company’s shop in this city at a cost of 85000 each. The building was struck square in tlie middle and bricks scattered about as if they were playthings. The cars were turned topsy turvy and the men buried under the debris. Some of the bricks were carried a square away. The chamber of eacli passenger car was already filled with gas as they were ready to be taken out on the road in a few days. These exploded one after another with a report like cannon, resounding over the city. Peo ple ran out of their houses, thinking it was the sound of an earthquake. A quantity of gasoline in the building added fuel to the flames, and a sheet of flame shot heaven ward with a roar. Some 20 men crawled out of tlie debris, but four were enveloped in the embrace of the flames. Their cries were heard for a moment, and then were hushed forever. The men were QUICKLY BOASTED TO DEATH. The fire froui tlie nine passenger cars lit up the heavens for miles around. The fire de partment services were unavailing. The building and cars were consumed in fifteen n.lnn4a^ looi-inrr iwiMiimr Vtnf MoptunMl anil smoking ruins. The men burned were: John Kohler. Albert Landlierger, .Sheridan Jones, George Schaefer. It is rumored that several others were killed. Aaron Dewalt, another employe,bad an arm broken. George Knobb was injured internally and no doubt fatally. The loss to the railroad is #75,000. The storm travelled on at the rate of too miles an hour and unroofed a dozen private residences. At the corner of 12th ana Mari on streets stood the Reading silk mill,a huge structure most substantially built, four stor ies in height with a basement. The build ing was nearly 30 feet long and 150 feet wide. It was surmounted by a massive tower, 100 feet from the ground. About 175 girls were working in the mill. The funnel shaped storm-cloud struck the building directly in the centre of the broad est side. It fell in pieces as if composed of so many building blocks, carryiug down nearly TWO HUNDRED Hl'MIN BEINGS in the wreck. The walls gave way, the Honrs fell down, one on top of the other and all went to the bottom. Amid the hur ricaue and almost simultaneous with the fall of the building' came awful cries for relief as the girls, with blackened faces, bruised and broken limbs and clothing torn and tattered, dragged themselves from the ruins. Proba bly 75 to 100 escaped or were dragged out by their friends. These worked on the upper Hours and were thrown near the top of the debris. At some places the bricks are piled 20 feet deep, md underneath are lying to night human bodies by the score. About 250 girls and young women are usually em ployed in the mill, but at 4 o’clock about 80 were relieved from duty for the day and re turned to their homes. The most reliable estimate touight places the number in the building when it went down, in the neigh borhood of 175. The alarm for relief was immediately sent out and in a short time thousands of citizens arrived to help out the dead and dying. EVERYTHING WAS ENVELOPED IN DARK NESS, but huge bonfires were built which cast a dismal glare on the surrounding scene. The fire companies left the burning paint shop and assisted in the rescue of the dead and dying. The entire police force was called out with the ambulance and relief corps and a thousand people were soon at work among the debris. Here a young woman was taken out all bruised and suffering with cuts and bruises. One body was headless. Others were in various postures, the living all suf fering from terrible wounds. Up to 10.30 o'clock tonight probably the bodies of a dozen dead had been taken out, while the greater portion of the remainder still lay un der the ruins. The work of rescue will be pushed all night, but it may be far Into to morrow before all the bodies are taken out. The number of dead will probably reach 80. THE DEAD. At 11 p. m., the following bodies had been takeu out and identified: Henry Crocker, foreman of the silk mill, married, aged 23, head crushed in, neck and aim broken. Joliu Riber, engineer, head cut off. Laura Kershaer. Eva Leeds. TiUle Crow. Katie Bowman. Kate Leas. Amelie Christman. Sophie Winkleman. Ella Long. Willie Snyder. William Robeson. Rebecca Pouse. Kate Reidenauer. Rose Clemmer. PITTSBURG’S CALAMITY. A Building In Course of Construction Blown Down. Surrounding Buildings Wrecked Eight Known to Have Perished Many Others May Be Dead. Pittsburg, Jan. 9.—A terrlfie storm of wind and hail, the worst for years, swept over the city this afternoon, carrying with it death and destruction. Suddenly in the centre of the city there was a terrible crash. A few minutes later, the central tire alarm bells. sounded the call for box 14 on the corner of Diamond and Wood streets. Hun dreds of people hurried to the scene. They found that the cyclone had caught a new building on Dlamand street, owned by C. L. Willey, and hufled it to the earth, covering up two scores of mangled human bodies. Tha building was in course of erection and was 110x80 feet, seven stories high. The front of the building had not been put in. The high walls of brick and undried mortar were parted, one falling eacli way, partly wrecking nearly a dozen surrounding build ings. The main force of the crushing building was thrown against Welden A Co.’s boek store on Wood street, and the barber bbop of Fred Scbemaker at No. 41 Diamond street The rear end of Welden’s store was crushed In and the front of the building forced out into Wood street. The baiber snop was de molished, and the leather store next the Willey building, occupied by W. H. Thomas, was also totally wrecked. The rear end of H. Walt A Co/s BOOK STORE WAS CRUSHED IN, while some of the falling structure struck Joseph Richbaum’s bulldiag, fronting Fifth avenue, breaking the .windows and iniurine a number of the employes. A portion of tbe wall of the millinery storelnext to Thomas’s was caved in, and the windows and doors on a number of surrounding building were brok en. The building of Rea Brothers A Co., stock brokers, on tbe corner of Diamond and Wood streets, was partly wrecked, and the occupants barely escaped. With the arrival of the firemen, the work of rescue from tbe Weldin building ruins was begun. Ladders were run up to tbe sec ond ana third stories. The first one taken out was a young lady employed as a type writer, who fortunately escaped serious injuries. Crowds with willing .hands eagerly took up the work of rescue and every little while fresh localities where men had been caught were found. At tbe time of the disaster, about 25 men were at work on the building. Not oneescaped uninjured. In the barber shop SEVENSmKN WEBB IMPRISONED, while half a dozen more were buried beneath the debris of the Waldin building. The hos pitals were notified and in a short time the clang of ambulance bells and patrol wagon fongs was heard. Contractor Booth and 'lynn had 25 wagons and carts on the scene Inside of an hour, and private ex pressmen lent their wagons and aid in helping rescue the victims. When a poor unfortunate was found, he was given temporary relief by the physicians present and then carefully removed to one of the hospitals. The work continued all the afternoon, but at 11 o’clock tonight a number of persons were known to be still underneath tbe debris. Up to that hour, 40 mangled and bruised bodies had been taked from the ruins, some dead and others fatally injured. One or two died on the way to the hospitals. From the best Information obtainable, eight were killed outright or died in a short time and 35 others injured. It Is believed the list of dead will be greatly Increased. One of tbe eight killed was a little girl named McQlone, walking along jthe street with her brother when the building fell. THE LITTLE tilKL WAS KILLED INSTANTLY. Her brother, It Is thought, is fatally Injured. The body of George Klrsch, a barber, aged 18, was found in the cellar of the barber shop. Dr. J. L. Heed, a prominent physician of Alleghany, was in Weldin's at the time and Is still missing. It Is feared he Is dead. Rev. Father Canevin, who was helping rescue the victims, narrowly escaped being killed while getting a drink for Joseph Guchring, employed by Weldin A Co., who was discovered among the debris. A parti tion wall in the rear of Weldin A Co.’s store fell, covering up Father Canevin and three others, but fortunately they were not much hurt. JThe loss by the storm in this part of the city exceeds $50,000. Terrible destruction was also wrought in other sections of tbe city and out along the lailroads centering here. A portion of tbe foundry of McIntosh, Hemp hell A Co., on 13th street, was wrecked, as was also a bouse in Alleghany. At Wells station, on the Pennsylvania railroad, a large brick building owned by the Westinghouse Air Break Company, was partly demolished, and at Wilmerding a coal tipple was wrecked. At McKeesport houses were unroofed, trees blown down and windows smashed. Three houses In course of erection were blown to pieces. THE LIST OF DEAD indentified up to 11 o’clock is as follows: Samuel Stringer, aged 16, printer. Thomas Jones, bricklayer. Charles Fritch, aged 16. George Mason, carpenter. A colored boy named Ferge, bootblack in the barber shop. George Kirsch, barber, aged 18. The remains of one man nave not yet been identified. Inspector of Police McAlero said late to night he was of tbe opinion that 15 to 20 per sons are yet in the ruins, and he would not U if Ihodoetl. 11., A In creased to 15 or 20. From Other Places. Sunbury, Pa., Jan. 9.—A terrible acci dent occurred in tbia city at 5.50. A rain and wind storm came up suddenly and blew over two stacks of tbe Sunbury nail mills which crashed through the slate roof, completely demolishing the puddling de partment of the mill. Thirty-five men were employed in this department and half of them were buried in the debries. Many were carried out half naked. Two men were killed, 10 wounded and four are missing. Williamsport, Pa., Jan. 9.—In this city damage by the storm was particularly se vere. A dozen houses were demolished. Several are reported killed. Carlisle, Pa., Jan. 9.—The storm did great damage in this vicinity. Several per sons are severely it not fatally hurt. CANADA CLAD IN IOE. One Million Dollars Damage In De vastated Ontario. Tangled Telegraph Wlres-Accldents on Frozen Railroad Lines—Streets Strewn with Prostrate Trees. Montreal, Jan. 9.—A storm broke over Lower Ontario on Sunday morning, which continued until last night, leaving a scene which for peculiarity and damage has never been equalled in the locality. The damage cannot yet be fairly estimated, but a low ap proximation makes it at least 91,000,000, which, with damages that cannot be re paired, makes it a very serious matter for the people concerned. Tbe country devastated ranges from Co teau Landing to Napance, 150 miles, and back from the St. Lawrence as far as the Ot tawa river, 100 miles, or 15,000 square miles of territory. This immense tract of land was yesterday morning covered with solid ice from one to six inches thick. Even the houses, trees, railroad tracks, trains and barns were covered with ice, and the park in tbe city of Kingston is a solid mass of ice, it being impossible to force a passage through it. No telegraph wires have been in use In the territory imentloned for nearly 30 hours. Miles of poles are lying in Inextricable con fusion in the cities and along the railroads, and the wires, made as big as ocean rabies by their icy casings, are in PICTUBESqUE tangles everywhere. Shut out from the outside world the only communication is by railroad, tbe trains be ing preceded by pilot engines and gangs o| workmen who clear the littered tracks of tbe storm’s debris, and chop the foot thick ice from the tracks or melt it with streams oi hot water and steam Irom anongine special ly constructed for the purpose. At Vaudreull, Coteau Landing, Klvier* Beaudette, Lancaster, Mille Roches, Morris burg, Iroquois, Brockville, Prescott, Gana I noque and Rideau, and between Malone and Ogdensbuig, in New York State, the storm was felt most severely. At Coteau the rail road signals and switches were so badly clogged by the ice that they could not be made to work. All along the line of the Grand Trunk rail way, as far west as Belleville, a similar con dition of affairs existed. About two miles from Lancaster, two barns ware blown down and an entire or chard destroyed. Minor casualties by the score are being reported between that place and Cornwall. On a down grade between Iroquois and Prescott, a Grand Trunk passenger train, which tried to stop at the former station, could not for the Icy tracks, and running on to an open switch completely demolished a tool house and three freight cars. No one was injured. IN TUB CITY Or KINOSTON, perhaps the most remarkable feature of the storm happened. The hurricane blew at the rate of 70 miles per hour, nearly all of Sun day night and yesterday. Earl and Rideau streets were lined with gigantic maple trees. Wellington and Kings streets and Park ave nue were lined w'th magnificent willows. This afternoon all these streets are simply impassable. The trees, some of them two and a half feet In diameter, are strewn along the streets across the roadways, some leaning against houses, the windows and eornices of which are demolished, and oth ers In the most fantastic attitudes, all up rooted or torn off Just above the ground by the wind and ice. There Is not a telegraph or telephone wire staudlng In the city. A!1 the poles are in the streets, and pedestrianlsm is almost an Im possibility. The chimney of the Simmons tallow fac tory, 75 feet high, was blown down, and several workmen injured. The chimneys of the Stanley House were also demolished, creating a panic among the guests, who thought the roof was falling in. Many peo ple have been injured by falling telegraph poles and wires, and George Uosmer, Oscar Manning and Louis Hembergher are in the hospital suffering from. KUACTUKED SCULLS AND LIMUS. A team of horses was killed outright by a falling pole. A few feet further, or a second later, a whole carload of passengers would have been crushed. The most remarkable scene is in Queen’s Park, the 50 acres of which is a huge pile of brushwood and fallen trees. The crashing of the trees in it last night caused resideuts in that locality to turn out of their beds and witness the storm’s de struction. Tree after tree went down with a crash, and they were very heavily ice laden wuen one gave way. aven tne dis turbing of the atmospnere caused other trunks to succumb, reminding the spectators of tne roll of musketry In the distance. Hun dreds of trees have been torn asunder, and and they are completely covered with ice, presenting a wonderfully grand scene. Sever al houses were UDroofed, and frame build ings fell tn under the weight of ice. From the country come REPORTS OF WIDESPREAD DESTRUCTION. Ail the orchards ,in the district touched by the storm are more or less damaged, some being entirely obliterated. Baras by the dozen have been destroyed, and few houses escaped damage in some shape. No freight traius are running, as it is impossible to stop them after they are started within half a mile, and passenger trains have great diffi culty in running. There is no telegraphic communication whatever in the district. The loss to the telegraph companies will alone reach $‘20,000, and the telephone companies nearly as much more. It will take six weeks to repair the dam ages done by tbe two days' storm. BROOKLYN TREMBLED. Loud Explosion* Followed by Big Blaze. Brooklyn, Jan. 9.—An explosion at tbe Citizens’ Gas Works this evening caused the total destruction of three large tanks, in volving a loss of $100,000. Three small ten ement shanties near the works caught fire and were destroyed. The explosion caused great alarm in South Brooklyn and an im mense (crowd gathered about the works, which immediately caught fire. A second explosion occurred and the people tied in all directions. No casualties are reported. The 175 meu quartered at the marine barracks In the navy yard left the building to look at tbe fire. While thus engaged, one end of tbe barracks was blown down. Tbe absence of tbe men probably saved their lives. The loss on the barracks is $10,000. THE TARIFF DISCUSSION. An Instance of the Democratic Search for an Argument. Washington, Jan. 9.—In the tariff dis cussion today, when the section on books was reached, |Mr. Vance moved to insert a proviso that Bibles, printed in any language, be admitted tree. Mr. Allisou said he did not understand the object ol the amendment. Bibles were not only practically free of duty, but free of cost in the United States, as tbe American Bible Society distributed them gratuitously. Mr. Vance said that while books in foreign languages were to be ad ultted free of duty, a Bible printed in the English language would be subjected to a tax. The London Foreign Bible Society distributed more cop ies of the Scripture than any other society in the world. He thought a tax on the Word of God was carrying the point of pro tection not only into the ground, but under the ground, and to the final resting place of all protectionists. He hoped, for the sake of humanity and morality, that Bibles would not ba taxed. Tbe amendment was rejected. Maine Pensions.

New Youk, Jan. 9.—Judge Barrett, in the Supreme Court circuit today, rendered a de cision in favor of the Attorney General and against the sugar trust. The suit was brought by the people of the State of New York against the North River Sugar Refining Company by Attorney General Tabor, to for feit the charter'of the company on the ground that It had virtually passed out of existence by selling out all its stock to the sugar trust combinations and closing up all its works. The decision is a disastrous blow to the sugar trust and forfeits tne charter of one of the principal companies of the com bination, East Raymond.

Strong Feeling In Its Favor Among the Senators. Local Pride Presents Several Beauti ful Towns as Claimants, But Their Representatives Make the Forest City Their Second Choice. [Special to tbe Press.] Augusta, Jan. 9.—What shall be done with the State Capital'.' This is the question that was put to the Honorable Senators this forenoon by the Press representative. And the answer was, in most cases, “It should be somewhere ont of Augusta.” Some wanted it in one place and some in another. A few Senators from beautiful rural towns like Skowhegan, Sabattus, Auburn, Paris Hill, etc., thought at once that their own homes should receive the State House whenever it should take up Its journeyings; but their second chniee was always .Portland. Port land was also the choice of a large number who did not think their own towns quite big enough, and between the two classes the re sult Is a big vote in favor of tbe Forest Me tropolis of Maine as the seat of the State Government. Very few, among whom, how ever, should be mentioned Senator Heath of Augusta, who expresses bis convictions with force and decision, favor Augusta as a per manent capital, llangor has a few enthusi astic advocates; but cannot compare with Portland for popularity among the Senators. This is wbat the Senators say: Senator H. W. Sargent, of Sedgwick, was first seen by the Press man. “How would you like to see the State Capital removed to Portland?” was asked of him. “I would hold up both hands for It.” said he. “From Hancock county we could go to Portland in less time and for less expense than is required to come here to Augusta. And when we should get to Portland, more over, we should not be crowded for room, and the prices for sustenance and shelter would be more moderate. You could put the 250 souls attracted by a session like this into Portland without knowing It, whereas there is a great commotion in Augusta when they arrive. A large number of business men who either are members of tbe legislature or are drawn here by business before commit tees. have business in Portland Were the Capital in the great commercial city of the State they could do their business with great er ease. Portland is always accessible (rum all parts of the State. Augusta Is not, al though the Maine Central is remedying the defect somewnat bytrunningithe “legislative train." Senator Sargent was a member of the House of Representatives in 1879 and 1881, and was in the Senate of 1887. He has journeved to and from Augusta times enough and boarded there long enough to form a good opinion. He is a leading business man of Eastern Maine, moreover, and well ac quainted with the sentiment In bis region. Senator Rand of Oxford—"I should like to see it moved and Portland Is certainly the place, it is easy of access. Is the business centre of the State, has the accommodations and is in all respect a first class city for the capital of a State like Maine. 1 am in favor of moving." Senator Rand Is an old mem ber of the council, an old member of the House, besides being a business man of Ox ford county. He has travelled much about the State and knows the best place for a cap ital that will serve the business men. Senator Walton of Somerset—“By all means 1 want to see It moved out of this city.” "Where do you want it to go?" “To Skowhegan, Maine, the garden spot of North America, as my first choice. My sec ond choice would be Portland, because I be lieve in having the State Capital where the business is done.” Senator Sleeper of Androscoggin—“Yes, I want to see it moved. I think it should be In some other place." “Where would you have it go?” “My first choice would be Sabattis, Me.” "Your second choice?” “Portland, the metropolis of Maine.” Senator Wright of Oxford—"! should like to see it moved.” “Whereto?” "Paris Hill, If possible "If not possible?” “Then to Portland, the business centre of the State and the place admirably suited (or the purpose.” Senator Daggett of Piscataquia—“I like It where it is.” Senator Heath of Kennebec—“I can con ceive of no reason why it should be done. With the present railroad conveniences the State is as well convenienced here as any Senator Merrill of Franklin—"I should like to see it moved, and seeing no prospect that It can go to Farmington, I should like to see it In Portland." Senator Frost of Sanford—“If we can have it moved, Portland Is the place by all means, it seems to me so far as I am personally con cerned.” Senator Kendall of Blddeford— I would personally like to see it In Portland, but per haps the public would be better convenienced in Augusta. Senator Simpson of Penobscot—“I should certainly like to see it moved.” “To what city?” “B-a n-g-o-rf I think, too, I should prefer Portland to Augusta.” Senator Harding of Gorham—“I should like to see it moved, and to Portland, of course. That is by all means the best city for a capital. 1 have no doubt that the other Cumberland Senators, who have not arrived yet, are of the same way of thinking.” Senator Collins of Aroostook—'' l should like to see the capital in some brighter, smarter place if we are to have such long ad journments. I think the time is not very far distant when it will be in Portland. I think 1 should vote to have it there.” Senator Clark of Aroostook—“This loca tion suits me well enough.” Senator Burgess of Knox—“I think the legislature might perhaps be better convened in some other place.” Senator Walker of Knox—“I am chairman of the public buildings committee, and 1 guess I had better express no opinion.” President Lord of Penobscot -“Why cer tainly, move it.” "To Portland, of course?” “No, no, to the centre of the State, to the A.wmn all.. ..f Past f an r*. I choice.” Senator Ben. Hill, of Auburn—"Yes, it ought to be moved.” "Where would you have it go?” •*To Auburn if possible, if not, why, Port land is the place of course.” Seuator Hunt, of Liberty—“I want to see a better building, I don’t care where it U lo cated.” Senator Nickels, of Searsport—“Move it out of Augusta anyway, Augusta is to bard to get too, and has too few accommodations when you get there.” “You would favor Portland, then. Sena tor?” “Well, hardly, I should want to see it go to Bangor.” Senator Nash, of Washington—"I am in clined to think it would be too expensive to have a new State House. If it were moved, however. Portland is rather easier of access to the people in my part of Washiogtou county, but Portland people would want to build too tine a capital.” Senator Uolbroke, of Vanceboro, in Wash ington county, says—“I should'nt favor mov ing the capital. It would cost too much for the State to afford.” MAINE. One Killed and One Injured.

NEARLY 30 YEARS OF SERVICE. An Old Portlander Retire* from the Secretary of State's Offlce.l rspeciallto the Press.] Augcsta, Jan. It To ageueiaUun of the public men of Maine there has been one face about tbe State Capitol that has not changed except to grow a little older and kindlier with age perhaps, amid all the comings and goings of public officers and clerka. There are hundreds of men In Maine wbo cannot remember the time wben Clerk James K. Milliken has not answered their questions and attended to their demands in the office of the Secretary of the State. His hue fea tures, smooth shaven after the fashion of long ago, and crowned by snow white hair is the only familiar face that gTeets the public man wbo frequented the State House before tbe war. For nearly thirty years he has sat at tbe same desk, under the administration of every Governor since the days of Lot Morrill. He has had charge of the printing in final and accurate form of nearly all tbe public and private acts of the State during all that long period, which is the best testi monial to bis accuracy and faithfulness. Mr. Milliken may be considered an old. Portlander, although his birthplace was Scarboro, where he was born In 1810, and went to school until about fourteen years of age. He then went to Portland where he be came a clerk with Thomas Dodge, tbe gro ceryman. Later he was in business for him self in the firm of Wyer A Milliken, and later be was associated with Mr. Amos War ren. During bis life in Portland he married Miss Susan Bradbury, who yet survives. In the latter part of IHfio, towards the end of Gov. Morrill's administration, he came to Augusta and took the desk in the Secretary of State’s office, which he is occupy ng to day. For twenty-eight years he gg -een at the desk constantly, save for sic BOS with the single exception of a short i* to during the "Count-Out” year. Secretary of state Qove, of Biddeford, thought Republican help could be dispensed with, and discharged Mr. Milliken. But the Legislature had no sooner assembled then he found his mistake, and the "Squire,” as the venerable clerk has been called for years, was summoned back to keep things straight in the office. Feeling unable to perform the difficult duties devolv ing upon his position during the corniug leg islature, Mr. Milliken has determined to re tire, and bis place will be taken by Mr. Abel Russell, o t; Weld, who has the ability and ex perience needed for the office. No one about tbe State House will be more missed from bis desk than "Squire” Mill. ken. He has been a friend to every man among bis associates, and every man has been his friend. MAINE TOWNS. •carboro. A “crazy entertainment” was held at Quod Templars Hall Tuesday evening, and a crazy affair it was indeed. The young people bad a very enjoyable time.

i'l+K PliKSS. THURSDAY MORNING, JAN. 10. Wt oo not read anonymous letters and comma ideations. The na.i.e amt address of the write' are :n all cases Indispensable, not necessarily fo publication but as a guarantee of good faith. We cannot undertake to return or preserve commun'rattons that are not used. Judge Barrett’s decision in the case of the North River Sugar Refining Comp&uy is a pretty serious blow to the sugar trust. J ttdging (rout the expressions of the Sena tors as to their first choice for the location of the capitol the popular tiling to do would be to place the State House on wheels or runners and haul it round the State. The House filibustered appear to have wod, and thus given another demonstration of the correctness of Mr. Reed’s assertion that the majority of the Honse of Represen tatives do not, except in theory, control the business of that body. Our esteemed contemporary, the Halifax Herald, must have received a severe shock when it read the election returns from the town of Windsor. The contest was over the mayoralty of the town, and one of the can didates was an avowed annexationist, and the election turned largely on that question. The annexation candidate was defeated, hut by only thirty-eight votes. The Herald, which has apparently taken a contract to thrash all the people in the Dominion and the United States who believe In the union of the two countries, has evidently got a tre. mendous job on its hands, even If it confines its attentions solely to the Dominion. The St. John Globe wants to know why it is that Maine added a million and a quarter to Its suvings hank deposits in 1888, while New Brunswick did not add over $150,000, and also why it is that in Maine, “where natural conditions are no better” titan in New Brunswick, there are many more rich men, and the average of wealth is higher. We don't think the answ er can he been use the Maine man lives more frugally than the New Brunswick man or is more economical. Ou the contrary in both these respects we are inclined to think the New Brunswicker has the advantage. It must be then that the Maine man is able to earn more. Why, per haps it may be difficult to explain. Proba bly. however, it Is because he enjoys a lar ger and better market fcr his products. The Democratic governor of Utah declares that Utah ought not to be admitted as a state, and will appear before the House Com mittee to oppose any 6uch action. “Of the 220,000 people In the Territory,” he says, “four-fifths are Mormons. They are ruled practically by a one-man power. They do as they are bidden; they obey the demands of the church without a murmur; they pay one-tenth of their earnings* from whatever source they may come, to the church. Their first president, who is seer, prophet and revelator, is sussed to receive his instruc tions from on lugn, and bis utterances are accepted as the word of God. To give these people the sovereign rights It Is proposed to bestow upon them would be to place every non-Mormon in Utah completely at their mercy. Under a territorial form of govern ment we are protected by Congress and tbe executive. Coufer the right of statehood upon l tali and the Mormons would frame a constitution so unjust and arbitrary In its character that an outsider could not live among them. Hence I say all the non-Mor mons in the Territory, without regard to politics, oppose the proposition of state hood.” The Governor favors coatinuing territorial government and still further abridging the power of the church. The great mass of American people will agree with him. Another agitation quite as much needed as the agitation to reform our voting methods, looks to the restriction of the electors to citi zens of the United States. Some time ago the Piuses showed that there were eight or ten States in which naturalization was not a prerequisite for voting. Thus in Colorado, a mere declaration of intention to become a citizen and a six months residence in the State are sufficient to confer the same elec toral privileges that the native born or naturalized citizen enjoys. lu Michigan the conditions of citizenship are more onerous but still naturalization is not required. It is gratifying to see that the people of that State have begun to rouse them selves to the evils of this state of things aDd move for their correction by amending the constitution so as to make naturalization a pre-requisite for voting. In this connection the New York Post points out the curious fact tiiat in the States where declaration of intention is all that is needed to confer citi zenship, the citizen of this kind enjoys not only as many, but more privileges than the native, for while the latter can bring suits against 'municipalities in the State courts only, the citizen who has merely declared his intention can briug them lu buth State and the United States courts A Conundrum. In a communication to the Pkess tbe other day, the Portland Rochester railroad, through its President, said If the poor house property could be sold for $150,000, t fully agreed with the Phess that it was too valuable for railroad purposes. At the hearing Tuesday evening, Mr. Edward viiuov, (JCIICUII) trs^UUMUIV gUIlUtJ* man, said: 1 am willing to take tills property at (150,000, provided that tills board of aldermen reluse to at low this railroad to go through it. What ought this corporation, which is pro fessing to bo seeking the best Interests of the city, to do under these circumstances Ought It to insist that this property, which it has declared is too valuable for railroad purposes, be taken for those purposes, or should it withdraw its petition? Concerning Anonymous Communi cations. Complaint was made by a member of the Board of Aldermen the other night because the newspapers had published communica tions in regard to the proposed extension of the Portland A Itocbester railroad without signatures. lie thought it was unfair for citizens to discuss this question except over their own names. Now the gentleman is both right and wrong. We quite agree witli him that it is improper to impute bad motives to and attack the character of indi viduals over fictitious signatures. A man has the right to know who is his accuser. But we do not agree with him that it Is improper to discuss principles or policies; or point out the benefits or injuries that will flow from a proposed action in that way. A gentleman in the Press the other morning over an anonymous signature pointed out the dan gers to travel on the highway that would be caused by the proposed extension; another gentleman in the same issue pointed out how the pioposed extension would benefit manu facturers. Now we claim that the presen tation of their arguments without a signa ture was more just and fair to both sides of this controversy than would have been the case had their articles been signed. Without signature they got just what weight they were entitled to by reason of the facts presented and the deductions therefrom. They passed for exactly what they were worth. Now sup posing one had been signed .by a man little known and of little influence, and the other by a well known and influential citizen. What would have been the result? Un doubtedly it would have hem this: The communication signed by the influential citi zen would have passed for more than its real value as a presentation of fact ‘and argu ment, while the communication signed by the obscure citizen would have passed for less than it was worth, on account of the cb. scurity of its author. Printed without signa tures they both probably got their correct value. The communications that have ap peared in the Press on this question on both sides have not imputed Improper motives nor assailed character. They have discussed the question on the broad groundof;public inter est. There was not the slightest impropri ety in publishing them without signatures. The signatures could have been useful to the parties to this controversy in no way except to furnish them with the means of getting a fictitious value put upon the arti cles to which they might Have been attached, or of detracting from the value which right fully belonged to such articles. Suppose that the writer who argued that the extension would help iiiamifactures had signed Ids name . 3 Free Street llloet Portland.

RONSUMPTION, IN its first stages, can Ibe successfully checked by the prompt use of Ayer’s Cherry l’ectoral. Even iu tho later periods of that disease, tho cough is wonderfully relieved by this medicine. I have used Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral with the best effect in my practice. This wonderful preparation once saved my life. I had a constant cough, night sweats, was greatly reduced In flesh, and given up by my physician. Ono bottle and a naif of tho Pectoral cured me.”—A. J. Eidson, M. D., Middleton, Tennessee. Several years ago I was severely ill. The doctors said I was in consumption, and that they could do nothing for me, hut advised me, as a last resort, to try Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. After taking this medicine two or three months I was euTed, and my health remains good to the present day.”—James Birchard, Darien, Conn. Several years ago, on a passage homo from California, by water, I contracted so severe a cold that for some days I was confined to my state-room, and a physician on board considered ray life in danger. Happening to have a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, I used it freely, and my lungs were soon restored to a healthy condition. Since then I have invariably recommended this prep aration.”—J. B.

Directors Elected and Resolutions Passed. The adjourned meeting of the Diamond island Association was held last night in the Municipal Court room. President Larrabee sailed the meeting to order, and stated that the business to be transacted was the elec tion of directors. It v\ as voted that the see- j retary cast the ballot for the association for j the same directors that served it last year, j The following board was declared unani mously re-elected: “E. H. Elwell, James P. Baxter, E. W. Corey, G. W. Beal, E. L. Goding and F. M. Lawrence. An amendment to artictle 18 of the by-laws was made by striking out the word “share” and substituting therefor the word “lot,” and by omitting the last three words of the article. It was voted that the by-laws as amended be referred to the directors and revised by them and printed in connection with n list of the officers and shareholders. It was also voted that the directors be authorized, if they considered it advisable, to have printed a review of the corporation with a prospec tus showing contemplated Improvements and cuts of cottages at the owner’s expeuse. It was voted to amend article 9 of the by laws by changing the words “oue-thirdj of the stockholders” to “one-third of total stock.” The following was read and unanimously adopted aud It was voted that the resolutions be entered on the records and copies sent to the families of each of the deceased: A mutual Interest in each other’s welfare exists among those who have spent the sum mer mouths so pleasantly on Diamond Isl and during the past five years. Hence a be reavement to one family is felt by all. It is our painful duty to call your attention to some who have passed away from earth highly esteemed and sincerely mourned by us all. Mrs, Fred Tolman was among the first to lay down the cares of life and enter eternal rest. She was naturally of a sweet and un selfish disposition, possessed the love and confidence of all who knew her, and was the light and joy ol her happy home. Among the first to make the island his summer residence was Dea. Loring Beals. From the first he took a deep interest in all the measures that have united to make the island attractive and advantageous to its lesldeuts. He was distinguished for his in tegrity of character and moral worth. All who knew him respected and esteemed him. Last year he left us for his heavenly home. He will be greatly missed at our annual Early in tbe summer, amid the opening flowers, Miss Marian Moody, a beautiful child, full of precious promises to her parents, dearly cherished by her schoolmates and loved by all who knew her, passed into the paradise where flowers never fade. Last autumn we were grieved to hear of tbe removal of Mrs. Edward S. Doten by the pale messenger. She possessed a genial and sociable spirit, which made tier many friends and crowned her home with rich domestic peace. When the summer comes and we re turn to the romantic scenery*, refreshing breezes and happy associations of ttie fitly called Diamond Island, none will be more missed than she. On the third day of our Christmas holidays Mrs. Dr. Woodman was called to her eternal reward. Her charitable disposition, unfail ing kindness and self-sacrificing spirit in seeking the welfare of all with whom she as sociated, will never he forgotten. In these few words it has been impossible for us to speak of the many virtues of the dear frieuds that have been called away. •’They rest from their labors, but their works do follow them.” We hope to meet them In a better world. Death cannot destroy true Christian friend ship. These words of Holmes are true: ‘-While 'be stars in Heaven shall burn, While the ocean tides return, Ever shall the circling sun Find the mauy still are oue.” Therefore, Hr sol ied, That, we the members of the Dlamoud Island Association, do hereby extend our heart felt sympathy to the families herein mentioned, hoping that they may he comforted in their great bereavements, "by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of Uod.” E. G. P. Smith, I Committee on 8. L. Lxfobd, Resolution-. President Seth L. Larrabee, Secretary P. J. Larrabee and Mr. E. G. P. Smith referred with fitting words to each of tbe deceased members.

All are lookiug remarkably well, and some are being jogged a little now with a view to speed next fall. Nelson, with his five-year-old record of 2.21J* never looked better than he does this winter. There are many who believe that this horse can trot to bent 2.21J, and next season his owners will give him an opportunity to do his best. They propose to give him a low record, perhaps low down in the teens. Dic tator Chief, the famous son of old Dictator, appears just as well as he did last fall when he trotted at Mystic In 2 21J, the last quarter in the third mile in his race in 33J seconds. Mr. Nelson sold the stallion Ilerolight to E. D. Morgan of New York, for a large sum. Mr. Nelson lias made the valuable purchase of a filly by HerollgliL dam Young Daisy, a gratid-duughter of Pochahontns. Young Daisy is the dam of the Duke of Wellington, 2 20, und GrayligliL 2.21. Mr. Nelson be lieves that lie Ims 10 stallions on the farm Which ran trot in 2 30 and the stallion that doesn’t reach this mark in two years will be sold. The beautiful mare Aubiue is being jogged every pleasaut day with a view of lowering her record next year, which it Is believed she can do. Edna by Dictator Chief a large bay three years old filly, it is understood, will be a candidate for the 2.30 honors next season. Hazel, by Wilkes, a two-year-old hay filly, is at the present time showing very fust. Col. Osgood, by Wilkes, a yearling. Is now being handled and urepuiiug forengag moots at the New Eugland breeders’ meet ing. and elsewhere, next season. Three Nelson yearlings, which look and act very much like their famous sire, are now being broken, with a view to early speed develop ment. They average over 13 hands. Mr. Nelson Is in hopes to give four or more records of 2.30 or better, and two records better than 2.20, next season. The uropri-. etor of Sunnyside is confident that he will do this, barring accidents. He also hopes to have several youngsters whose speed will be a credit to their sires.” Red Hawk has matured some since lie was seen at the State Fair. This horse Is by the great Red Wilkes, sire of Prince Wilkes, 2 14. and 20 others iu the 2.30 list. The dam of Red Hawk is Judge, the dam of Dictator Chief. Mr. Nelson thinks considerable of his stal lion Wilkes by Alcyonce, 2.2", believing that for style; size and gait he outranks the pro geny of any horse in Maine. 'IMuiPii nru muni’ nthnr hnivnc hiiclilnu (linen referred to in Mr. Nelson’s stable that will be beard from at a future time, probably with low records. Prominent horsemen say that one of the most valuable and speedy two-year-old colts ever raised in Maine is Olympus Chief, own ed by Hon. M. N. McKusick. the well known horse breeder of Eastern Maine. Olympus Chief shows natural signs of speed, for bis eosy-motioned, prancing gait, firm, straight and upright walk, full developed body, fine limbs, and the remarkable speed exhibited at a trial indicate that he inherits qualities of his noble ancestors, Alexander Abdallah.Al mout, Olympus, Mambrino Chief and Tom Lang. Olympus Chief is a chestnut, with three white feet and strip in his face. John U. Hodgkins of Jefferson, has a very valuable piece of horseflesh in his colt Ve nus. foaled June 10, 1888. She is by Kings ton (an inbred Hamhletonian), owned by F. K. Hatch, South Jefferson, by Constellation; dam, Fannie, a stylish bay mare, breeding unknown. Venus is good size, perfect limbed and shows superior trotting action, which promises a fast gait, C. K. Knowlton of Norridgewock is the the owner of a couple of good colts, a filly two years old, and a weanling, both by Fred Boone, by Daniel Boone; dam supposed to be Iiambletonian blood. J. J. Clancey of Lexington, Ky., is said to have offered 810,000 for JDaisy Hartshorn, by Aberdeen, but W. F. Todd of St. Stephen, N. U., her owner, refused the offer, as he is said to have been offered 813,800 for the same mare. The valuable 10 hands bay stallion Gen Weaver, by Bayard Knox, formerly owned by tho Messrs. Floyd of this city, has passed wholly into the bauds of L. P. Hawkins,who for a time owned one half of him. OCEAN INSURANCE COMPANY. Annual Meeting and Reports of Officers. The annual meeting of the Ocean Iusur ance Company was held at its office yester day afternoon. The following directors were elected for the ensuing year: Geo. P. Wescott, Benj. Webster, Mark P. Emery, Nathan Cleaves, John H. Humphrey, Chas. II. Chase, James H. Hatnlen. ABSTRACT OF THE DIRECTORS’ REPORT. To the Stockholders of the Ocean Insurance Company: The directors respectfully submit the fol lowing report of the business and condition of the corporation for the year ending De cember 81,1888: The condition of the Company Dec. 31, )8s8. shows that it has avail able assets to the amount of.?127,806.00 While its liabilities are. 42,6*5 37 Making the net assets of the Company available for dtvideuds on Its stock.$ 85,281.02 At tlie last annual meeting of the corpor ation the stockholders voted. "That the directors of this company be, aDd they are, hereby instructed to immediately take steps to wind up its business of Maine insurance if, in their judgment, it is deemed advis able.” At this same meeting the stock of the com pauy was scaled twenty per cent., so that the capital stock now stands at 8112,000 in stead of 8140,000. This scaling of the stock was made necessary because of the large losses which the compauy had made in past years, leaving it with assets so much reduced that it could not continue business under the luws of our State. The directors continued the business of the company until June, but during this five months they became satisfied that it was im possible for the compauy to continue the business of marine insurance on a paying basis; that judging from the past six years' business the company would receive more for its investments than from its insurance. Therefore the directors submitted proposals to the difference insurance companies in this and other States, asking bids for the business of the corporation. The amount iiooo n uivu vua>o,i7T>r, nmtc suo premiums due ou the same amounted to $38, 357.53. A satisfactory proposal was received from the China Mutual Insurance Company, of Boston, and the directors effected a re insurance with that company of all of its outstanding risks. Since that time the directors have been steadily working with the view of winding up the affairs of the corporation, settling up old losses and col lecting outstanding premiums, having in view the dividing of the assets in dividends among the stockholders of the corporation as eariy as practicable. From the fact that $49,819, or about GO per cent, of the assets ot the company is in real estate which cannot be readily disposed of, the prospect for immediately closing up the affairs of the company is not so good as the directors would wish. In 1883 the company was entirely solvent with nominal assets of over $210,000, with liabilities of less than $3000. Since that date the company’s losses from its business, to gether with depreciation in real estate and bank stock have been $121,978.78. During the past year losses were paid in excess of receipts amounting to $24,791.95 aud there are losses now on the books remaining unpaid amouting to $13, 319 39; a total of $38,111 31. All of this sum represents losses incurred prior to Jan. 1, 1888; but which have been adjusted and paid, or are now in the process of adjustment. During the Dast year the receipts «f the company for insurance have exceeded the losses, which result was obtained by taking risks of the highest grade only. Harrison Cuards. At a meeting of the Hariison Guards, held last evening, Captain J. D. Prindable presiding, it was voted to make the organi zation permanent. It was also voted to pre sent to each of the honorary members of the company and the Republican papers of the city, a framed picture of the company. They have already presented to the lion. James G. Blaine and Governor Burleigh each, a picture of the company elegantly framed by Mr. Knight. A unanimous vote of thanks was extended to Captain J. D. Prindable for the kind in terest he has always shown in the company. The following committee was appointed on by-laws: C»p. J. D. Prindable, Lieut. C. D. Thombs, M. G. Clark, T. L. Darragh, Frank Haskell. A great deal of interest was man ifested. Colby University. The Junior class at Colby have voted, at the suggestion of Professor Matthews, to have in place of the Junior exhibition in the winter term a prize debate. It is thought that this will establish a precedent. For a ong time past this exhibition has been con sidered a consolation rare, that Is, an exhi bition in which the heretofore unknowu ap pears and disappears. But to obtain a place in the debate will be an honor. There will be six participants chosen on the merit of an article on the subject to be debated. MUSIC AND DRAMA. BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHKBTKA. The concert, given by the Boston Sym phony Orchestra in the Stockbridge course, last evening, was thoroughly delightful from beginning to end, aud especially calculated to please an audience that, as a whole, does not claim to he ultra—musical, but does en |oy good music when played. The orchestra lias for its name the Symphony Orchestra, but no symphony appeared on the pro gramme last evening. This was a loss to a •ertain portion of the audience, but it will probably be made up to them at another of the orchestraljcoucerts. Mr. Gerlcke’s pres ence as conductor was also missed. Not but what Mr. Kncisel is an able director, but Mr Gericke is the real conductor, it is his baton that has thrilled the men,and It is to him ote looks to get all that is possible out of the band. We. yesterday, gave a full description of the three leading numbers on programme, viz: the “Bruchfantasie,” „the Moszkowski “Suite in F," and the selection from Wag ner’s “Gotterdammerung.” The two others were Wagner’s “Faust Overture," and a group of two pieces, one Somnurnacht’s “'Angels Whisper” and the other Glllet’s “Loin du Bal." The fantasie especially aroused the enthusiasm of the audience; Its beautiful Scotch melodies played on the violin with such grace, taste, command of technique and delicacy by Mr. Loeftier, the soloist, charmingly accompanied by Mr. Schuacher outlie harp, and the full orches tra, brought forth the iheaitlest applause at the close of each movement. The Moszkow Bki Suite was not given In full; only the un dante movement, Tn which Mr. Moles, the flutist's, admirable command of his instru ment was noticeable. For exquisite playing and daintiness of treatment, that of the “An gels Whispei” and "Loin du Bal" by the string orchestra could not be surpassed, and the selection from the Niebelungen trilogy, with its fire and spirit, its magnificent dis play of effects, and its charmiDg melody, given out by the horns, formed a fitting close to the evening’s entertainment. The next Stockbridge will be given by Mrs. Shaw, the whistler. TUB JAPANESE VILLAGE. The Japanese Village still draws large au diences to Congress Hall. The afternoon is the best time to take the children, and for ladles who find it inconvenient to go in the evening. The receptions are held both af ternoon and evening, and the Sanford Girls’ Orchestra provides excellent music. NOTES Next week Robson and Crane will produce the “Henrietta” at the Globe Theatre, Bos ton, which was such a success last season. At the Hollis Street, Boston, the London Gaiety Burlesque Company is drawing UUWUCU AUUIOUCCS. The Portland School for the Deaf has been Invited by Manager Somerby to attend the Japanese Village. Marie Wainwright has essayed Rosalind in New York. The shapely actress is reported to dress the masquerading heroine without top boots to make her “a sensuous and glee ful coquette” and (for the purpose of point ing a moral, perhaps, to charge the “men” in the epilogue, Jso that It was delivered: “I charge you, oh, women, for the love you bear your husbands, to like as much of tills play as please you Miss Wainwright’s husband, Louis James, played Orlando, j Mr. Gericke will not conduct the Boston Symphony Orchestra next season. Considerable interest has been awakened in Boston In the coming appearance of Signor Campanini as Don Jose In “Carmen” with the Ideal English Opera Company Wednes day night. THE STATE. AROOSTOOK COUNTY. The Kennebec Journal says that John P. Donworth of Houlton, collector of customs, has resigned, and Lyuian Strickland has been appointed to fill *he position. CUMBERLAND COUNTY. At a meeting of the centennial committee1 chosen at the annual town meeting in Free port fast March, E. B. Mallet, Esq., was chosen chairman: W. A. Mitchell, secretary; Will A. Davis, treasurer. The town was in corporated Feb. 14, 1789. The centennial cele bration will take place July 4, 1889, A pro gramme is being prepared which will soon be made public. KENNEBEC COUNTY. After alldipbtheretic cases at the Insane Hospital have been pronounced cured and several days elapsed without a fresh out break, the officers began to take courage in the hope that the danger was past. But these hopes were doomed to disappointment, and again this dread disease has appeared. Only one person is at present sick with the disease. When the prisoners, the Winthrop tramp robbers and Mulverhill, reached (Brunswick station Tuesday morning, as they were being taken from Augusta to Thomaston, quite a crowd gathered about them and greeted them with jeers and threats. At one moment it seemed as though the crowd meant mischief, but the guests for Thomaston were finally pnt aboard the train without any further trouble. The Waterville passenger station went from fifth to fourth place in the railroad year ending Sept. 30th. The earnings were $41,000 only exceeded by Portland, Bangor and Au gusta. The freight station made a good showing also, the earnings being $56,000. Earning from freight received were $44,000, exceeded only by Portland and Bangor. OXFORD COUNTY. B. C. Waite and Albert Delano, Selectmen of Canton, have been in Auburn for the purpose of negotiating a loan of about $15,000 toward paying the bonded debt of Canton. They were able to get the loan without difficulty. The bonded debt of the town is about $22,000. With the $15,000 loaned from Auburn and the amount they have on band the authorities will be able to pay over the money. PENOBSCOT COUNTY. The Dexter fox hunters have been having great luck the past few days. Running for the dogs has been fine, and in four days that the dogs run eight foxes were bagged. F. H. Hayes owns the finest pack of fox hounds in the country. An addition of two dogs last week from New York to the pack are beau ties for fox hounds. SOMERSET COUNTY. A lady in Benton arose from her bed while asleep one night recently and ran half a mile to a neighbor’s house before waking. Her husband pursued her as fast as he could, out was unable to overtake her until she arrived at the neighbor’s house. SAGADAHOC COUNTY. The frame is now being cut for a 3000 ton ship to take the blocks vacated last Saturday by the Sewall schooner, Douglass Dearborn, at Bath. She will be built under contract by A. Sewall Co., the first vessel to be con structed in the yard by this firm, all others having been practically owned by the build ers. In the spring the present Bath iron works will be removed to the southern division of ims piani formerly me uoss oawyer Marine Works), where new buildings will be erected in connection with those now there, so that the metal can go In at one door as scrap and pig iron, and come out at another the finished engine. This removal will bring about a great saving in the item of truckage. WALDO COUNTY. With the present number the Belfast City Press passes out of a separate existence. Its plant and subscription list having been sold to the proprietors of the Progressive Age, henceforth its existence will be merged In that of the latter publication, which, it is un derstood, will be enlarged to the size of the Press and Issued from that office. The financial standing of Waldo county has greatly improved during the past year. Last year the county’s liabilities were $7, 627.35 In excess of its resources, while this year the resources exceed the liabilities $305.25. The outstanding notes have been reduced in amount from $14,192.50 to $6,879, being a reduction of $7,313.50. Montville is again "short” financially. The cause seems to be the excessive cost of keep ing the roads open during the past two win ters and failure to make the necessary ap propriations at the annual meeting to meet it. Many of the largest taxpayers hold de mands against the town that exceed the amount of their taxes. During a day devot ed to collecting, recently, the collector re ceived $10 in cash and a large amount in or ders. which fairly Illustrates the condition of affairs. WASHINGTON COUNTY. Cherryfield lumbermen manufactured in 1888 a total of 10,200,000 feet of long lumber, 4,500,000 laths, 4,100,000 shingles, 2,000,000 staves and 125,000 clapboards. The new Methodist church in Perry will be dedicated about the middle of January. Mrs. 8. S. Small, of Minneapolis, has given the society at Perry a silver communion service. YORK COUNTY. Charles Bowen. 18 years old, was killed by falling from a freight car on the Boston Maine at Kennebunk Tuesday night, having been struck by a bridge. Bodwell’s block in Sanford, occupied on the first floor by Frank Wingate, druggist, and C. E. Tworably, grocer; on the second floor by a tenement, and on the third floor by the Knights of Pythias, was damaged by fire, smoke and water j esterday mornlug to the extent of $4,000. The building was saved. Everything was fully insured. The Meeting at the Board of Tracia Today.
