THE ESCAPED PRIsoNERs.-The officers are
still pursuing the four men who escaped from
the jail in ths city on Monday night and 1t is
boped that some if not all of them will be re-
captured, though in the case OF Bickford the
recovery is problematical, for he is one OF the
shrewdest rascals in the world. So far as III
formation has been obtained the men went
over Tukey's bridge (four persons answering
the description were met by person coming
into town in the EVENING" and at Aliens Cor
ner they probably separated, Lorette ana
Haynes going east and Bickford and Judge
taking westerly course. At Aliens Corner
they stole horse from Mr.. Cobb and drove
him to saccarappa, where they left him, Ihey
stole hand-car on the Portland & Rochester
rad and went out as far as Buxton, stopping
at Gorbam long enough to break into the depot,
but they got nothing. The depot at Buxton
was also broken into but it does not appear
that the rogues had any success here. Beyond
this point there is no information of their
movements.

MAINE GENERAL HosPTAL-The annual
meeting of the corporators of the Maine Gen
eral Hospital was held at the Mayors room
yesterday afternoon, Hon. Samuel E. Spring
presiding in the absence of Hon. John b.
Brown, the President. The report of the Di-
rectors shows that the eastern pavilion is near
ly completed and the roof is being put on the
central building. The stating will be done this
season and operations suspended until spring
The Treasurers report shows that the receipts
from subscriptions for the past ten months
have been S54, 389 and the expenditures So, $40,
leaving balance of $57S; and he estimates that
the completion of the years work and the pay
ment of an outstanding loan will require about
$4,000; to meet which there remains the bal
ance on hand about $500 due on subscriptions.
He is informed that enough can be realized
from new subscriptions to raise the present re-
sources to $4,000 To complete the buildings
will require outlay of some $4,000. Port
land has given $50, 600 to the funds; and as this
is State institution, it is right that the other
parts of the State should assist as literally.
The former board of officers was reelected
j. B. Brown, President; DR.. Fred. HI. Gerrish,
Secretary; Messrs. A w. Clapp and Andrew
Spring were reelected Directors. DIR. Buxton,
of Warren, the agent of the Association, was
present at the meeting and tomorrow COM

The FRATERNITY SCHOOL opened last night
at the rooms under exceedingly favorable aus
pieces A very good class in bookkeeping was
organized, and we are glad to learn that quite
a number of applications have been received
for instruction in other branches. The school
will be open five nights in the week and the
course of studies embrace English, mathemat-
les and modern languages, so that those who
desire can obtain very good education during
the long evenings of autumn and winter. This
is a noble institution, and we hope that many
of the boys and young men of our city whose
days are employed, will appreciate the advan-
tages of this school and seek to take advantage
of them. If all our young people really knew
the value of education, this school would be
crowded with pupils and encouragement given
to the establishment of others We are sure
the means to sustain them would not be want
ing.
This EVENING, if pleasant, the Republican
organizations of this city, escorted by the
Rangers" of Ferry Village, and accompanied
by the "Iron Zouaves" of Ligonia, will go to
Knightville to assist in a flag raising there.
They will make quite an extensive street par
AIDE in going from and returning to the city.
The column will form ia City Hall square at u
o'clock, and march through Congress and Park
steets returning, through Park, York, State,
Spring, High Free and Brown streets.

ence in the city. We were notified that we
would be regarded as guests of the Emperor,
and that apartments and horses would be placed

ing within itself the wreck of reasonable
hopes and purposes, and fruitful only of
suffering. -...
1t is only in calmer moments, and when the
first shock has passed that the mind is able to
grasp the broader view and to believe that
even to HIM who is gone there may yet be
compensation in what, within finite limits, is
heavy and irreparable loss.
While the fact that we shall see our friend
no more in this life rests heavily upon us to-
day yet he will not be forgotten. He was
citizen whom no community could lose with
out sense and a remembrance of the loss.
In many circles of friends, too. his absence
will long be noted and the genial influence of
his presence will not readily be supplied.
In this Court, where his presence had be-
come so familiar, and where the doors have
been so recently closed with the badges of
mourning for his death, his memory will long
remain, written upon the records of the Court
and treasured in the recollections of the Bar.
When the inquirer, of old, asked of the
oracle how he should learn to live wisely, the
reply was "Consult the dead" There is deep
meaning in the reply. From the life which
has Just closed, if rightly reviewed, there
comes lesson to each OF US, which, if we
would learn to live wisely, we shall not soon
forget to heed.
In pursuance OI tle IilOtlOi WHlCH nus ocSh
made the memorial of the Bar will be ex-
tended upon the record, and in token Of re-
spect to the memory of Judge Lane the Court
will now adjourn.
The Court was then adjourned to o'clock
Wednesday morning.

their goods for sale at lowest prices. There is
no charitable society in Portland more useful OF

private and domestic, he was the same quiet,
high toned gentleman, an admirable exemplar
of the best type of American character. Con-
ciliatory but firm, courteous yet sincere
courageous but modest, dignifed though SIM
pie, learned but unpretending, hopeful but
cautious, generous yet prudent, witty without
severity, frank but adroi', man of tact as
well as of principle, unspoiled by foreign
| travel of simple tastes and pure morals, the
| symmetry of his character was almost fault
less;
Such qualities in such harmonious per-
lection constitute the wise, just and honorable
man, commanding respect although not OF
themselves winning affection.
Divine wisdom has declared, "a man that
hath friends must show himself friendly, and
this friendllness and kindliness OF spirit was
perhaps the crowning excellence OF our de-
parted Judge for above all he was whole
souled, sympathetic, manly man. Many who
find it easy TO forgive injuries are apt to for
get friendships hence just menkr not I'M
frequently chargeable with seventy and for
giving men with weakness and ingratitude.
1t seems to me that Judge Lane was excep-
tionally free from this common failing. Whne
he had no deed or word or thought of I'M
kindness for any whom he might have had
occasion to feel had injured him, his heart
oVeInoWeu Win dHectOn and gratitude toward
his friends.
He saved the life of his brother at the
sacrifice of his own, and doubtless he would
have freely hazarded his life for any friend
Such disposition always develops like devo-
ton in others, so that while the upright are
respected and hopored for their uprightness
it is only the kindly and disinterested man
who can command the homage of our hearts
, The distinction is drawn with unerring
accuracy by the inspired pen of the grea
Apostle :-'for scarcely for righteous mar
will one die: yet peradventure for gooc
man some would even dare to die
Our departed friend was emphatically Z
oood man and an example to US all. for in hi
life and character all was commendable an,
worthy of imitation nothing which need
to be concealed, excused or avoided.
oils life was gentle; and the elements
g So mixed in him, that nature might STAND up
! And ay to all The world, This ~as man.
/. "Mark the perfect man and behold the up
e right for the end Of that man is peace.
At the conclusion of Judge Goddards re
