Go it Doctor.

DR.. Jordan returns to the charge on the Ag-
rcultural College romance, and this time he
goes for two Democrats-Franklin Smith of
Waterville, and William X. Lancey of Pitts
field, who he says ''shared the plumber" He
says ga robbery was committed" and he
''fnds the stolen goods in possession of the rob-
bers." This is hard language to apply to
franklin Smith, especially in view of the fact
that Dr. Jordan urged him upon the people of
Maine for Governor in 1869 when he was the
regular candidate, and that was three years af-
ter 'the robbery was committed"
What shame it is that an honest and con-
scientious citizen like DR.. Jordan should even
in an ungarded moment have been betrayed in
to supporting such man as Franklin Smith,
whom he is now compelled to denounce in the
columns of the Maine Standard as Sharing
plumber and being ''guity of robbery"
And poor Bill Lancey! He has been 'sshar.
ing in plumber and guilty of robbery too!
And the Maine Standard so parades him.
What grand moral spectacle is pre- sented in
having the Maine Standard, hitherto the very
political bible of Lancey, hold him up to public
scorn as ''sharer in plumber and engaged Gin
a robbery" Had we ventured to apply such
epithets to Smith and Lancey how the Standard
would have denounced US as sanderers and Ii
belers
But the pinch of the game as DR.. Jordan tells
US lies in the fact that he knows twenty Ban
gor gentlemen who ma lie an effort to purchase
portion of these lands and did not get an
acre! PRECISELY Their bids are all on file now
at the State House. They wanted eighty thou
sand acres at fortyJfve cents an acre, and there
were other men that offered more. Here's the
pinch! Is DIR. Jordan the organ of that disap-
pointed ring in Bangor who wanted the land at
is cents an acre and couldn't get it? How
much was the DR.. to get in case that the bid
had been successful, and how much does he get
now for slandering the living and the dead who

Business Notes.

The Times says that the Bath Manufactur.
ing and Commercial Company are driving BUSH
ness They have contracted to saw five million
feet spruce deals for the Franklin Land Com
pany. They will begin next week to saw by
night. The bark A. Houghton is now loading
at their mill with deals for Liverpool.
The Eastport Sentinel says that another new
enterprise has been started in that town in the
shape of an establishment for putting up Rus
sian sardines. New York parties have leased
the Buck mill, and have already commenced
operations. For some years past Messrs. Grit
fin Bros, of this place have been supplying
these parties with small herring at New York
where they have been preserving them and
converting them into sardines. The New York
firm has decided to establish factory at this
place, saving the expense of shipping the her
ring to New York and making sure of getting
them fresh and in good condition.
The Lincoln county News says of the porgy
business, "Last week the porgy factory at
Boothbay Harbor, owned by Luther Maddocks,
had thirty-three hundred barrels of fish brought
in. Mr.. Maddocks has five steamers employ
ed The new steamer built by Mr.. Samuel
Foster of Damariscotta, brought in to the fac
tory.owned by Tuthill, French & Co., at South
Bristol, the same week, it is reported, about
fifteen hundred barrels. The different factories
at Bremen, Round Pond, South Bristol and
Boothboy Harbor. are said to employ some
thing like thirty-three steamers"

"Pierre B0wdowin.o

The last independent gives the names of
workers connected with the rise and progress
of Bowdoin College; and among them that of
"Pierre Bowdowin." There are facts omitted
in this connection which ought to be known.
The great benefactor of our Alma Mater in his
ancestral relations, was an exile from France
a victim of tha revocation of the Edict of Nan
tes, Protestant, who for conscience sake and
his religion, sought an asylum in Maine and on
the shores of Casco Bay.
1t was Pierre Bowdowin; and al Falmouth
now Portland-he procured place of refuge,
Oct. 8. 1857, under administration of Sir Ed
mund Andross Pemaquid being one of his seats
of government
On petition to Sir Edmund of this date
warrant was issued to Richard Clement, Depu-
ty Surveyor, ordering to be surveyed and laid
out to Pierre Bowdowin, for his present settle
ment, one hundred acres of land, under direc.
ton of EdW ard Ting, ESQ.,, who was to make
plot of the same. Here was the homestead of
the family root which has done SO much to
honor and help the land, in the fruits of litera
ture and science Bowdoin College has ripened
and cast abroad.
The life and fairness of this institution sprang
from the faith of exiled and oppressed French
Protestantsm-a fugitive Huguenot, who with
his wife and four infant children, unable to
gain their own livelihood, set up its altar of
freedom to worship God in the wilds of Maine,
at Portland harbor. S.

Mr.. MURRAY AT RYE BEACH.-A very inter-
esting reading was given on Monday evening
last at the Farragut House, Rye Beach, for the
benefit Of building fund for new Episcopal
church in that locality. The audience was
very choice one and included several distin-
guished visitors residing in the neighborhood.
The proceeds amounting to $1OO. Mr.. Murray
among other selections read scene from Ten
nyson's new drama 'Qaeen Mary" and con-
cluded with Dickens Nicholas Nickleby, his
leading of which was highly appreciated and
applauded.
Mr.. Murray was most ably assisted by Mr..
Stuart, HI. B. M. Vice Consul at Boston, who
possesses splendid baritone voice, and was re :
peatedly encored. His rendering of ''The
Wolff "The Stirrup Cup" and 'fBehold the
Lilies" was equal to that of the best profess
sional singers. Mr. Stuart was accompanied
most ably on the piano by his wife, the daugh
ter OF Mr.. A. Wentworth of Boston. This ma
tional tribute to the building fund was under
taken through the kind influence of Mrs. E. M.
Archibald, the wife of the Consul General at
New York who, with his family, are enjoying
the charming breezes of Rye Beach and the
Inequalities of the Farragut House. Mr. Wat
son, first Secretary of the British legation at
Washington, also preferred his kind services,
but unfortunately arrived some hours too late

A FINE HOUSE.


Early last spring the owners of the City
Hotel conceived the idea of enlarging that
block by building an addition, and making a
| fine uptown hotel. The owners are Messrs.
Rufus Durham and A. P. Morgan, of the firm
of Morgan, Butler & Co. They employed f.
| 81. FasSett & Son to draw the plans for the ad-
dition, and the erection of the building was put
| into the market. Several bids were made for
the work, but that of Spencer Rogers was the
most satisfactory, and he was awarded the con-
tract. He began work as early in the spring as
the weather would permit and has just COM
pleted the work.
The addition is on the west side Of the hotel
on Congress street. IS three stories high and
has front of thirty feet. The front is of
pressed bricks, with granite trimmings Each
room is finely finished and has a large fire.
place with marble fronts. The furniture is of
modern style, and the carpeting throughout the
house is new and very pretty. There is Sebago
water on every floor, also large bathing room.
The whole house contains IS rooms, and nearly
every one has fine view, as the hotel stands
on quite an elevation of land.
The old part has been generally renovated
painted from top to bottom and put in excel
lent repair. The Office is now one of the pleas.
ATTEST in any hotel in the city. 1t has been
painted and grained, new doors put in, new
counter and desk, and fine key rack added,
which was made by Mr.. Rogers The proprie-
tor has also put in a large sized Morris & Ire
land safe.
The hotel is soon to be furnished with the
new electric call bells, by means of which
guest in room presses knob certain num-
Der OF times, and at the ofice the number of
the room and the article wanted are announced.
There are eight different articles that can be
announced in this way. 1t is the latest inven-
ton CT the kind and is very expensive. Mr.
Rogers has executed the work throughout in a
very satisfactory manner. both to the proprie-
tor of the hotel and the owners. The hotel
now completed makes what has long been
needed in this city-a pleasant uptown hotel
Many of the best rooms in the house have al
ready been let to families. The house is fin
ished with the intention of not only furnishing
pleasant stopping place for the travelling pub
lie, but convenient boarding place for fami-
lies and single persons.
Two years ago the present proprietor Mr.
John X. Martin, came to the house, and since
that time it has become very popular with the
travelling public. Mr.. Martin is young man,
but knows how to keep hotel. Twelve years
ago he went into the United States Hotel as a
bell boy. From there he went to the Preble,
where lie remained some time. until he accept
ed the position of steward in the Evans House
in Boston. He remained there until he came
to this city two years ago. He is an enterprs-
ing man and is very popular with his guests.

RE-UNIoN.-Gen. George L Beal and Capt
Samuel w. Lane, Chairman and Secretary of
the Executive Committee of the different vet
eran organizations of the regiments, ETC., of the
late war, have issued a circular requesting regi-
mental organizations to choose committees to
make arrangements for grand centennial re-
union to be held in Portland three days during
the summer of 1876. 1t is very desirable that all
veterans whose regiments, batteries, etc have
no organization, should put themselves in COM
munication with the executive committee by
addressing the chairman or secretary. This re-
union can be most successful affair if the vet
Grams will but take an interest in it. In several
states all the regiments have held reunions.
In Vermont last year, several thousands went
into camp. In Connecticut the present week,
twenty five of the organizations of the late war
were represented by nearly 1000 veterans. The
reports from these meetings are of the most
pleasing character and those who participate
are enthusiastic to continue them.

SUPPOSED INCENDIARIES UNDER ARREST
Yesterday morning the PRESS announced that
barber had been arrested for stealing jewelry
at the Old,Orchard House fire. 1t appears that
the barber is a man named Harris. He came
to this city Thursday and deposited about $500
worth of jewelry in the Portland Safety Vault
and returned to Saco and was arrested by City
Marshal Sands. He acknowledged his guilt
and implicated one Luke Mcclure of this city.
Mcclure was camping out at Old Orchard at
the time and left for this city very suddenly.
Officer Sterling began yesterday morning to
search the city, and at last found out that the
man was on Boston & Maine train bound for
Old Orchard. He telegraphed to Saco and the
train was stopped at the transfer station, where
the officer arrested him. 1t is thought by the
officers that these men are the incendlaries
who set the fire at the Old Orchard House.
Last evening officer Rice visited the house of
Mr.. Bailey on Franklin street and discovered
trunk belonging to Mcclure. There were
large number of valuable articles in it, and
the most of them that were marked with the
name of ga W. Ross" while few were mark
ed "W. s. Robinson Among other things
there was silk hat in hat box marked ga.
w. Ross" Later in the evening Deputy
Bridges called at house where Mcclure slept
Thursday night but failed to find any stolen
goods. He then called again at Bailey's. Mr..
Bailey stated that Mcclure had left the trunk
there several weeks ago when he went to Old
Orchard to camp out. Thursday night he
called at the house, bat did not have key and
so could net get the trunk open. He called
twice yesterday morning before he started for
Old Orchard, but neither time had bundle.
If this statement of Mr.. Bailey is true, how
did Mcclure get the property into his trunk?
The officer searched the house thoroughly, bat
failed to find anything that bad the appearance
of being stolen.
The Saco officials have arrested man named
Sands, who they think know something about
the affair.

has lost the sight of the other eye, and is now
totally blind. The reunion of the 31st and 32d
