Portland Il Rochester.

The Board of Directors of the Portland and
Rochester Railroad Co. organized yesterday by
electing the following officers:-Geo. p Yves
colt, President; Frederick Robie, Vice-Pres
dent; William a. Conant, Clerk and Treas
urer; J. M. Lunt Superintendent.
A communication was received from Hon.
John Lynch, and read by Col. Robbie, which
stated that it would be impossible for him to
attend to the duties by the office of President
and that he did not desire to be a candidate. In
view of this fact the following resolve was
unanimously adopted: ~.
RESOLVED. The Directors of this Company re-
greet that circumstances are such that our late
President, Hon. John Lynch, feels compelled
to leave position which he has so honorably
and acceptably filed His timely and efficient
efforts on every occasion for the success of the
Portland and Rochester Railroad Co. are fully
recognized BY his associates, and we feel that
the many difficulties and embarrassment
which have heretofore existed have been SO
promptly met by his individual help and re-
sponsibity that the future becomes an easier
burden to bear.

1t would appear to be very opportune time
in which to introduce new fire.arm to public
notice, when the people at large have become
interested In good craftsmanship, as displayed
in the recent rifle contest at Ire land, when the
American team were victorious, and to secure
the greatest accuracy of aim and speed in firing
the best arm should be used and this the Evans
rifle claims to be. This rifle is arm en-
tirely. carrying in its magazine thirty.four
rounds of "A 100 central fire cartridges, all of
which may be discharged in twenty seconds; it
can also be used as single breech- loader with
safety and rapidity. Its magazine is absolute
ly safe, as each cartridge is carried in separate
chamber and cannot by any possibility be m AIDE
to explode in the magazine. The rifle is loaded
by introducing the cartridge through an OPEN
ing in the butt-plate and by movement Of
the lever underneath the stock the cartridge is
carried forward and another can be introduced,
and so on till the thirty-four fill the magazine.
The empty she'll or cartridge, is discharged by
the forward movement OF the lever. The ad-
vantages claimed over other rifles are that the
working parts of this rifle consist of seven
pieces only, mono of which are liable to break
or rust; that when the magazine is fully charg-
ed the whole weight is felt in the body
OF the arm, making complete offset aga inst
fecoil, and as each round is discharged, per-
feet balance is preserved, when in position for
shooting; the barrel of the gun is in no way de-
formed or endangered by loaded magazine run
ming parallel with the same, in which each
cartridge rests directly one against the other,
with great liability of accidental discharge;
there are no spiral springs about the gun to
rust or break and disable the gun.
trial of this rifle was had at Spy Pond,
Arlington, Wednesday, and at distance of
20O yards an average score OF forty-fve out of
possible sixty. was made by amateurs The
rifle is very simple in construction, easily oper-
ated, not liable to get out of order, and in
many other ways is a superior weapon. One
noticeable feature of its operation Wednesday
was the almost perfect absence of any recol Of
the piece, and the accurate range, which in
connection with the absolute safety in its use,
makes it very desirable weapon for the sports
man. OF as military weapon. 1t has received
the highest commeDdation, both at home and
abroad, from military authorities and sports
men, and the trial of Wednesday abundantly
proved the justice of these Communications
The weapon to be thoroughly appreciated and
its merits understood, should be seen and ex-
amined at 100 Purchase street, where it will be
shown aud its workings fully explained by the
courteous agent of the manufacturers, George

MAGGIE MITCHELL-In speaking of Maggie

the Hartford Daily Times says: "Miss Maggie
Mitchelrs Marie in The Pearl of Savoy is
almost as we'll known to the theater-going
public as her Fanchon', and it is almost as I'M
iversal favorite. As vivid and natural in
depreciation of really charming character, it
is fully the equal of any of Miss Mitchell's 9TH

quires more elaborate treatment than any OF
the prominent roles in her repertoire. save pos
sibly Jane Eyre. Her three weeks engage
ment in Boston, just closed, was the most sue
cessful of any star that has ever appeared in
New England, the receipts being $4,000. She
gave three matinees, at which the receipts
were $564S, and on the days they were given
they took more money at the box Office than
was taken at all the theaters in the city COM
bined, and three times more than was received
at any one place"

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
SCHENCK's PULMoNIc SYRUP,
SCHENCK's SEA WEED TONIC,

SCHENCKs MANDRAKE PILLS,
Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary

Frequently medicines that will stop cough will
occasion the death Of the patient; they lock up the
liver stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage
follows, and in fact they clog the action of the very
organs that caused the cough.
Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia are the causes of
two-thirds Of the cases Of Consumption. Many per-
sons complain of a dull pain in the side, constipa-
ton, coated tongue pain in the shoulderblade feel
tngs Of drowsiness and restessness, the food lying
heavily on the stomach, accompanied with acidity
and belching up of wind
These symptoms usually originate from disor-
dered condition Of the stomach or torpid liver.
Persons SO Affected il they take one or two heavy
colds and if the cough in these cases be suddenly
checked, win find the stomach and liver clogged re-
naming torpid and inactive, and almost before they
are aware the lungs mass of sores, and ucerat-
ed, the result of which is death.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is an expectorant
which does not contain opium or anything calculated
to check cough suddenly.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic dssolves the food, mix
es with the gastric juices of the stomach aids dges-
tlo 19 and creates q ravenous appetite.
When the bowels are cOstive skin sallow, or the
symptoms otherwise OF bilious tendency Schenck's
