this District, introduced bill last Monday in
the House of Representatives at Washington,

several departments, with authority TO select
and discharge such workmen as the necessities
of the service may require. The bill has been

LIZ TIE MAssAcHUsETTs SENATE Thursday,
the bill to repeal the constabulary law passed
TO be engrossed by a vote of 90 to IS. The bill
has already passed the House by a large ma
jority. The special committee of the legisla,,
ture on the sale Of intoxicating liquors have
agreed upon a sort OF compromise bill made
up Of the different bills offered in both houses.
1t authorizes the municipal officers of cities
and towns TO grant licenses to either whole
sale or retail dealers. No liquor is to be sold
on Sunday or between the hours Of twelve at
night and five in the morning, being in this
respect similar TO the New York excise law
1t is made unlawful for agents 10 sell iiquor to
drunkards, minors under the age of sixteen or
persons "demoralized" by stmulants. The
licensing authorities have also power to enter
at any time the promises of licensees, for the
purpose of aseertaining the method of con-
Quoting business therein, as we'll as for the
preservation of good order. They may at any
time institute or order an analytical examine
tion of liquors kept for sale; if such be found
pure, the State is to bear the expense of this
analysis; if impure, the licensee, who also for
feits his right to sell. The penalties for the
violation of this act are a fine ofnot more than
5000, and Imprisonment at hard labor in the
house Of correction for six months.

THERE has been noexplosion in the Gorham
powder mills for some time until last Wednes-
day afternoon, whea by friction in the gear
ing-as it is supposed-fre was conveyed to
powder in one end of the building, and an ex.

Strange to say there was but one man injured,
aud he not fatally. In the busiest times there
might have been dozen men at work in this
part of the building, when matters would have
been a great deal more serious. This estab-
lishment is under good management now.
