The State Treasurership.

BIDDEFORD, Dec. %.
MR.. EDIToR:-In domestic political circles
at the present time, the immediate subject of
interest seems to centre upon the organization
OF our state government for the year next ensu-
ing Locally we are particularly interested in
the prospects of Hon. E. II. Banks, who is a
prominent candidate for the office of Treasurer
of State.
citizens, gentleman who has always deserved
the confidence of our people, and they have re-
peatedly endorsed him by elections to impor-
tant offices in which he has fulfilled his duties
to the entire satisfaction of his friends and in
manner creditable to himself. He has repre-
sented the city of Biddesord in the Legislature,
was twice elected to the State Senate and has
served as one of the Presidential electors At
present he is Treasurer of York county. The
promptness and ability, his long experience as
business man enabling him to satisfy fully
all classes having business in bis office. The
York legislative delegation doubtless will be a
unit in his favor and reports from various parts
of the state see % to indicate slight opposition
to his election. His friends throughout the
state will give him active aud earnest support
1t is understood that Mr.. Holbrook of Free
port is virtually the only opposing candidate
for the Office. Of Mr.. Hobrook Can only say
the people will be fortunate in the selection of
Treasurer should either Mr.. Banks or Mr.. Hol-
brook be elected, although the official expert
ence of Mr.. Banks seems rather to incline the
popular current strongly in his favor.

FATAL ACCDENT.-Saturday evening, as the
5.15 train was about leaving the Grand Trunk
station for Lewiston, a man supposed to be
Charles Nixon of Lewiston rushed from the
baggage room with valise in his hand, walked
off the edge of the platform and fell upon the
track just before an engine which was coming
out of the depot The engineer did not see
him and the engine passed over his body, kill
ing him almost instantly. The engine which
ran over him did not have the head light
lighted, but was ringing the bell, and the
depot was very dark at the time DR.. Merrill
was at once called, but pronounced life extinct
Coroner Gould took charge of the body, and
will hold an inquest at 10a o'clock this morning
at the County Attorneys Office. The unfOr-
tunate man attempted to take the noon train
for Lewiston, but was too late, and at the time
he entered the depot in the evening the train
was just starting He had papers on his per-
son indicating that he had recently been at
ST. Jobnsbury, Vermont, and also quantity
of written recipes and hand bills, which would
lead one to suppose that he was q veterinary
surgeon. His age was apparently about fifty
five years.
P. Slater intelligence goes to show that
the man's name was Frost, and that he Yves
from Oxford.
Yesterday morning Melvina Cook, a domestic
employed in Governor Washburns family, was

burned. When she discovered her clothes in
flames che rushed to the kitchen, where hel
mother was at work, and called for help. He,
mother threw dish of water upon her, but as
she was perfectly enveloped in flames, it did
but little good. In her suffering she threw
herself out of doors and rolled in the snow
some time before the flames were extinguished
Every article of clothing was burned from her,
and her body was so severely burned that sht
cannot live. She was taken to the Maine
General Hospital, where every thing was dom
to alleviate her terrible suffering She was bu

STATE AND CITY STATISTICS FOR
Prominent Events.


The prominent political events of the year
have been the election of Gov. Conner, the
election of five Republican Congressman, Mr.
Blaine's appointment as Senator to fill the va
cancy occasioned by the acceptance of the
treasury portfolio by Senator Morrill, and the
casting of the electoral vote of the state for
Hayes and Wheeler. In military affairs the
encampmenl of the state militia at Brunswick
has been the only event of any importanc Q.
The state constitution has been somewhat
changed by the adoption of the amendments
submitted by the constitutional convention, and
capital punishment has been abolished Maine,
in common with other states, has suffered in
her industrial pursuits from the general depres-
sion, but the crops have been abundant and
there has been little actual suffering Three
railroads have experienced financial difficult
ties; the European & North American, which
is in the hands of receivers, and the Portland
& Ogdensburg and Portland & Rochester
which have been unable to pay the interest on
their bonds-while one long meditated project
the Shore Line Railroad-has made some
progress towards realization. The Bucksport
Savings Bank and the Lewiston Savings Insti-
tuition have become insolvent and ceased to do
business, while the Thomaston, Waterville
and Brunswick banks temporarily suspended.
Several newspapers have died, the most not
able among them the Loyal Sunrise, alias the
Pressure Isle Sunrise, alias the Aroostook Val
ley Sunrise. while several new ones, mostly
weeklies, have been started.
Criminal and Casual.
There have been seven homicides during the
year. all but one committed by men. There
have been So suicides, 43 males and 10 females,
besides 20 attempts which did not prove fatal.
The number of fires in which the loss was
$1,000 or over was 339 against 226 in 1875. The
tofal losses 81 AGO. 1923 against 81, 217, 500 in
1875; and total insurance $S13,523 against
S444, 500 in the preceding year. The greatest
loss in any one month was in December which
reached $265,S0 The burning of the tannery
in Vanceboro in September caused loss of
$15O,000, the heaviest loss of any one fire dur
ing the year. In this city there have been 1888
arrests made by the police, of which 1924 were
for drunkenness. In the year 1875 there were
ZIG arrests, 1864 of them for Drunkenness
There have been no large crimes committed
during the year, but very large number of
amounting to few hundred dollars. Since
the middle of March City Marshal Bridges and
his force have had nearly 80 cases of larceny.
In scarcely single case have they failed to re-
cover property and in the majority of cases
the property has been wholly recovered and
the criminals arrested. In this time, less than
ten months, the police department have recov-
cred upwards of $4,000 worth of stolen prop
erty.
There have been 81 fires 10 this city the past
year and the following is list of the losses and
insurance.

SCHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC,
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly celebra-
ted and popular medicines have effected revolution
in the healing art and proved the allacy OF several
maxims which have for many years INSTRUCTED the
progress of medical science. The false supposition
that Consumption is ncurable" deferred physicians
from attempting to find remedies for that disease
and patients afflicted with it reconciled themselves to
death without making effort to escape from a
doom which they supposed to be unavoidable. 1t is
now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured, and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (somes of them apparently desper-
other by the same medicine in connection wi th

preparations with the same remarkable success.
