ROCK CREEK.

Rock Creek never seemed so thoroughly
deserted as on Saturday last. Its citizens
had an attack Of excursion fever in cpl
demic form. There we're hardly enough
left at home to keep up show Of business.
Sixty left in the morning train for the
Harbor and-the Gazelle, and larger num-
ter took teams for Sturgeon Point, Geneva.
There was hardly any person or teams
upon the streets, and so far as business was
concerned appearances seemed to indicate
that the result would have been about the
same if the doors had been closed and the
shutters put up. Up to the time Of the
leaving of the one o'clock train-Whieh by
the way was three hours behind time-the
only evidence Of life was shown by team
that started from Evans mill and tried to
come up the hill and into the village upon
a respectable runaway gait, but failed and
was stopped after turning the corner OpPO--
site Dolphs gallery. DIR. Howard was one
of those left with his fingers on the public
pulse-as it were, while Hursh Latimer
was another, needful in his place, to sup
ply pill and potion, and meet the demand
for doctor The third man was Land
lord St. John, who after cooking his ord
mary dinner brushed round to find some
one to help dispose OF 1t. Squire HOyt and
ourself were all that could be found in
lanes and highways to urge to come in.
Unfortunately the Squire had taken bite
before leaying home, and the prOverbial
modesty of the editor could not be over
come. His false modesty, however, e9st him
four or five hours fast by the perversnees
Of the train. The only other man upon
the street was our omnIpresent friend
Wilcox, who never foregoes a chance to
gobble up all the hides and deacon skins
of the region. Add to the other general
dullness the pouring rain during much OF
the forenoon, and it may be said that Rock
Greek was deserted.

THE BLAINE COMMITTEE.
Testimony Showing Democratic Frauds
in the ConcOrdia Election.

New ORLEANS, January -. In the Teller
committee to-day, Clement Walker, attorney
of New Orleans testified concerning the cleo
ton in the city, that he believed the returns
promulgated were not indications of the true
results, as the votes polled for the conserva-
tives being counted for the democrats. He
charged generally that there were rregulari-
ties and frauds in the conduct of the election,
and said, 81 have sworn statements of parties
who witnessed the frauds. The citizens par
ty was denied representation at the polls, on
the ground that it was not party but fac
ton. To judge from the class of men APP
pointed commissioners by the democratic
party, fair return of the vote was not ex-
pected. The counting of the votes at the
polls was in most instances made secret, or
by men determined to elect the democratic
ticket, and am satisfied the statement of the
vote at many polls made up for many deficits
in the vote for the democratic party. Aside
from the falsity of the made mp returns, lille
gal votes were cast. The conservative party
was organized for the purpose of putting re-
sponsible men in Office

by the State but this year it had been hinted
on account of the need of economy, that the
college need not expect anything from this
legislature. He could not believe this, for
the man who would turn his back upon the
industrial classes is a craven. He showed
how far Maine is behind Prussia, Russia,
Austria, Sweden, Belgium and other nations
OF the world in industrial education. The
State has to show in property and endowment
some S27 900. for the small amount that she
has put out. II is said this college does not
educate farmers. Ii is hut six years since
the school turned out graduates; of 1879 who
have gone out from the college and have be-
come settled in life, % per cent have taken
to farming and 60 per cent. to other industrial
pursuits. Thirty-three per cent of the boys
embrace the mechanic arts. But shall we
compel the young man who graduates, no
matter what his bent on development may be,
to become farmer? Sometimes the posi-
bilHies before a man, in the profession which
he may choose, are worth more To the world
than an entire college. 1t is deplorable that
foreign skilled laborers have to lead and di-
rect the laborers of this country, because the
facilities for industrial education there are
greater than ours. He referred to Maine's
liberalty to other institutions of learning,
and asked that this institution be sustained.
II could not be neglected in honor. He asked
that the State carry out its solemn pledge and
agreement; the school should be sustained,
that all classes might have an opportunity to
expand all their natural powers. He asked
that the industrial classes be not deprived of
their beneficial means of education. Only
an appropriation of 5000 is asked for this
year. Let not word go from this Legislature
that the college of the people is to be stricken
down.
The address was an able and eloquent ap-
peal for the college. and cannot fail to be
heard from in this winters legislation.

Failure...A Large Sum Involved.

CiNCINNATI, January l5 An Evansville,
Ind, despatch says a sensation was created
there by the announcement of the failure of
Willard Carpenter, who for forty years has
been one of the most wealthy men Of that
region, his possessions being estimated from
one to two millions.
Two years ago he endowed a free college,
to be called Willard College, with property
worth from $3.50 900 to $500, 900. This en-
dowment, shortly after, at the generally ex-
pressed desire of citizens who were invited to
choose, was diverted TO the erection of a
Museum and the finishing of public park
The failure will not affect these schemes
The cause of the failure is complications
arising out of his air line railroad from Evans
vile to Indianapolis. He is nearly 80 years
