Before the Committee on Powers Of the House
w. A. Cooke of Florida testified that when Gov
Stearns was Speaker of the Florida House OF Rep
resentatives, he as such signed bill which never
passed. This bill is now in the archives of the
State. Witness has searched the journals of both
Houses and only found evidence that the bill in
question was rated down. Witness knows moth
ing that would tend to show any corruption on
part of Stearns. 1t was a bill authorizing Gov.
Reed to collect $4,000 which had been granted
the State for agricultural purposes, and a suisse
quent act was passed authorizing the receipt and
distribution of the money.
GOV. Searns took the stand and explained that
the bill once passed both branches, was then re-
considered, aud when coming to the Assembly
from the Senate second time, the bill became
changed and he signed the bill without being
aware Of the change. The body of the bill as
signed was the same as the original bill Coy.
Stearns stated that he was before the interior de.
parment and opposed the disbursement of the
money on account Of this technical erior in the
bill.
After the testimony Of one more witness was
taken the committee adjourned until tomorrow.

The Maine General Hospital.

The action of the Maine General Hospital at
their meeting last Saturday has at last been
made public. The following preamble and re-
solution were adopted:
Whereas, otimations aud suggestions of
malpractice 10 the case of Geo. Eaton have been
made, which the interests of the Hospital and
the rights of the citizens of the state, who have
so literally contributed to establish and support
the institution, demand should be fully exam
1ned by impartial and competent persons; there
fore,
Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to
request the President and Vice Presidents of
the Maine Medical Association and the staff of
consulting physicians and surgeons OF the Hos
pital to act as a board of investigation OF the
facts, at the Hospital, on Tuesday, the 18th of
December instant, at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon
and report their conclusions to the directors;
and to notify all persons of the time and place
OF SAID hearing, and request them to lay before
the examiners any evidence in their possession
touching the matter of inquiry.
The majority of the gentlemen specified have
already signifed their willingness to serve on
the board, and the investigation will be made
at the time and place named.
In view of the fact that charges of waste,
extravaganza and general msmanagement have
been industriously and widely circulated, it
was
Voted That the Board of Visitors be request
ed to make full investig alton of the financial
and business management and condition OF the
Hospital, and make public report of the result
OF their examination at their earliest conven-
fence during the present month.
By the act of Incorporation of the Hospital,
the board of visitors is composed of the Cover
nor of the state, the President of the Senate,
aud the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives. The board will meet at the Hospital
next Thursday afternoon, the 10th inst., for the
purpose of instituting the requested investiga
ton.
None of this committee are residents of Port
land, as Drs. Wood and Gilman did not think
it proper for them to serve under the circum-
stances The President is DR.. T. FL. Jewett of
North Berwick; the Vice Presidents, P s.

The display is very fine in all classes and
competition very close, the winning coops Sc
curing their premiums by one-fourth and one
half points difference only 10 the scale of a
pair.
f. E. McFadden exhibits seven coops of very
fine B. B. r. Game Bantums, five pullets of
which scale four hundred and seventy-one and
three-eighths out of possible score of five hum
dred.
The display of pigeons is remarkably fine
and attracts much attention.
The awards of the judge. Mr.. I. K. Felch OF
Natick, Mass, gives general satisfaction.
The travelling is bad, making the attendance
poor, bat the society are determined to carry
the show through successfully. SETH.
