THE heavy rain of Monday evening did not
prevent the young ladies, graduates of the Bid
deford High School, of the class of 70, from
"reuning," and although the class were unfort-
innate in being unable to engage the public hall
in their own city, and the ran deferred some of
the expected speakers from putting in an ap-
pearancc, the exercises of the evening passed
off very pleasantly. Mr.. Hubbard amused and
interested the guests with appropriate remarks,
and apologized for the absence of other speak
ers. The programme for the evening ended
with the gentle exercise of twelve dances. AS
the thermometer was 92o, the light-toed Muse
must have imagined herself the bride of Pluto.
Still, every one seemed to enjoy it. The music,
which was furnished by Aubrey's Band, was
excellent.

DEATH OF LEVI WEYMoUTH.-We are call

one of our Oldest and best known citizens, Mr..
Levi Weymouth which event took place yes
terday at his residence on Congress street. He
was nearly so years of age and native of Ber-
wick He came to this city in 1915, and from
1886 to 1856 had charge of the Aims House in
this city, proving himself by twenty years of
service kind-hearted and sympathetic friend
to the unfortunate, and a careful steward of
public trust In 1858 and 1859 Mr.. Weymouth
was member Of the Common Council from
Ward Z, and in 1861 he represented the same
Ward in the Board of Aldermen. He acquired
competence by the purchase, improvement
and rapid increase in value of real estate in the
western part of the city. He was highly re-
spected by all classes of citizens and will be
much missed by his neighbors and those with
whom he was formerly connected in business
affairs f.lHf.

CLOSE OF THE CITY AGENcY.-The city liq-
uor agency was closed at noon yesterday by or
der of the Committee of the City Council hav-
ing charge of that institution, and was the re-
suit of deadlock in the Board of Aldermen,
which rendered the election of successor toMr
Winship impossible. AT the beginning of the
present municipal year Aid. King, Mccarthy
and York were appointed Committee ON the
Agency, but neglected to assume the duties,
leaving the control of the matter in the hands
of the Mayor er-o6icio Soon after Mr.. Win
ships official term and bond expired in May.
Mayor Kingsbury re-nominated Mr.. Winship,
but the Board refused to confirm the nomina-
ton, some members of the Board expressing a
lack of confidence in the nominee, although no
charges of irregularty were made against him.
The oversight of the Agency was thus left in
the hands of the Mayor, and he exercised su-
pervision over it, instituting such regulations as
he thought necessary. After careful scrutiny
the Mayor was satisfied in his own mind that
Mr.. Winship had conducted affairs with all
propriety, and nominated Mr.. Winship again,
and again the Board refused to confirm. 1t
was then suggested that under the statute the
Board had the power to fill the vacancy with
out any interference ON the part of the Mayor,
and on Monday evening the Aldermen agreed
to ballot for candidate. The Mayor stated
plainly that unless the Board filled the vacan-
cy, or the Committee took the matter in hand
and closed the place he should assume authori-
ty and shut it up. Two ballots were had in
which Mr.. Winship had three votes, the other
four being scattered among other candidates,
and there was no election. Yesterday morning
the Committee ordered the Agency closed. 1t
is evident that the Agency has been unlawful
ever since the expiration of Mr.. Winship's
bond. Unlike most municipal officers the
Agent does not hold over until his successor is
qualified. The statute is express in its provis-
ions and terminates the official life of the in
cumbent on the expiration of his bond Some
curiosity is felt at the result of this peculiar
phase of affairs.
