Kennebunk.

A week ago last Friday night Myrtle Lodge,
No. 10, K. of P, took possession OF their new
hall in this place, when the occasion was made
the opportunity for the entertainment of the
friends of the members and of large num-
number of specially invited guests. The new
hall was crowded to its utmost capaci ty and a
very agreeable and pleasant evening was spent
by ali present, each and all expressing them
selves delighted with the entertainment pro-
yided for them. Miss Nellie Parsons ably pre-
sided at the organ and the singing during the
evening was very hne.
Addresses were given by number of the
gentlemen present. DR.. Morton, in the name
of the Masons and Odd Fellows, in very APP
propr late remarks, extended a friendly and
fraternal greeting to the young lodge. Mr.. 5.
Records gave stirring speech, followed by
Rev. Mr.. Cobb approving of and explaining the
benefits to be derived from such associations,
while Rev. Mr.. Worth, as a Christian minis
ter, impressed upon the members the import
ance of carrying out the tenets of this order
Friendship Charity and Benevolence. Dur
ing the evening very excellent supper was
served in the dining hall connected with the
lodge room and partaken OF with evident enjoy
ment by nearly all present.
The hall now occupied by the lodge was
built expressly for them by Mr.. S. Clark, and
consists of a main hall, q comfortable dining
hail. three ante-roOms and other convenlences.
The members of the lodge, with great energy
and much labor on their part, have done their
best to make their quarters pleasing and COM
Portable The main hall has been finely paint
ed and frescoed, and beautifully furnished
with new carpeting chandeliers and furniture,
and the side rooms have also been fitted up to
suit. The lodge was instituted last May, since
which time they have been steadily adding to
their numbers and there isno doubt but that in
their new quarters they have an era OF pros
perity and usefulness before them. q, IL. Y.

Business Notes.

Potato shipments from Lubec have been
heavy the present year. M. M. Foster, P.
Gillise and c. J. Staples have bought and
shipped about 1000 barrels each.
1t is said that the Messrs. Coats, the spool
thread manufacturers, are thinking of erect
ing spool factories in Maine. 1t is stated that
they employ 5000 operatives at their thread
factories.
1t is reported that the Bodwell Granite Co.
have purchased Of Joseph Crandon, Esq his
timber lands ON Jonesboro river, saw mills,
ship yard, store, wharf and privilege; price
about $4,000.
Messrs. H. & I'll. L. Gardner and G. l.. Har-
mon have nine horses, four oxen and thirty
men operating in Township 81. Their logs are
landed in Machias waters and will be manu-
featured at Pope's mill in Machias.
The Democrat says that the citizens OF Bry-
ants Pond and vicinity are making strenuous
efforts for the erection of spool mill. There
has been a call made for a town meeting, to
see what action the town would take in the
matter.
The Bangor Commercial says that the pros
pect is that very large quantity OF lumber
will be cut on the Penobscot and its tributaries
during the winter. Already very many more
and larger crews have entered the woods than
last season. If the season is favorable for log
cling operations, very large quantity OF lum
Der will be harvested. The demand for lum-
Der next spring promises to be greatly increas-
ed over that of the present season, and with
our large saw mills all in full operation large
quaint ty of logs will be required to meet the
demands. The drive of twenty-five millions,
which was hung up last summer in Ripogenus
Lake, will put in an appearance early and will
help to swell the amount.

An Honorable Act.

We happen to know personally OF case
that rebounds highly to the credit OF the
Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York.
A gentleman, resident in this vicinity, had
permission to travel in the South and Cuba, for
which he paid high premium as an extra
risk Four years ago he ceased travelling
South or in Cuba, but the extra premium
continued to be paid as neither he, nor any OF
his family, happened to think of the fact he
had ceased travelling. The company how
ever noticed the fact the other day and
promptly refunded the extra premium which
had been paid them. In these days where so
much is said against insurance companies we
are glad to be able to show how honorable this
company is in its business transactions.

Coroner'S Inquest.

The coroner's jury in the case of Mrs.
Wagner, whose dead body was found in the
sitting room of her house on Portland street,
met at o'clock yesterday afternoon as per
adjournment. DR.. S. P. Getchell informed
the jury that thorough port mortem ex-
animation of Mrs. Wagener's body had been
made by himself, Drs. Weeks and Cammett,
which resulted in their uniting in the opinion
that her death was caused by congestive apo
plexy. The Doctor also stated that certain
parts of the body showed that an instrument
had been used, perhaps within "a hours of her
death, apparently for the purpose of procuring
an abortion, but without accomplishing that
end.
After considerable discussion the jury re-
turned the following verdict:
The jury find that Mrs. Mary A. G.
Wagner came to her death at her house,
No. 4 Portland street, Portland, ON the morning
. DooouIOUI ., 1oT5, Dy ooiSosufFo sspoiioAJ,

AUGUSTA, Dec. 3.

AUGUSTA, Dec. g.
To the Honorable Governor and Council Of the
State of Maine:
Your Honorable Board has repeatedly and
now formally declined to permit any Republic
can Senator or Representative elect to see the
returns affecting him. Your ground for this
refusal IS understood to be your conclusion, for
mally expressed by his Excellency, the Cover
nor, that you have no constitutional power to
make corrections in the returns in any IN
stance.
now offer, on behalf of the Republican
Senators-eect from Washington county,if your
honorable board will open the subject for IN
vestigation, to prove that in the case OF returns
from Democratic towns for Senators and Rep
resentatives there have been changes made;
that these changes were made to supply defects
discovered by the surreptitious and premature
opening of returns, and that they must IN
volve in some form the collusion or connlvance
of persons connected with the state govern
ment
And in the facts which 1 think are suscepti-
BILE of proof will be found the basis OF that
boast so widely made by certain persons thai
the returns from Democratic towns are all
correct and that errors and omissions are
found only in the returns from Republican
towns.
I shall subject your honorable board if you
will order the investigation to very little
trouble and to an expense so trlflng that II
you have no appropriation applicable to this
end of justice 1 will supply the necessary
funds.
The witnesses L shall desire to have sum-
moned are principally persons connected with
the State government, officers in Democratic
towns and few others who have competent
knowledge on which to testify.
Assuming that your honorable board will
gladly unite with me and with all others who
can aid in discovering and exposing nefari-
Gus plot to thwart the expressed will of the
people at the late election / await your COM
mands.
Your obedient servant,

The New Fire Department Order.
The item of Yesterday says:

lno ll0Ut VI yOooCiu@J 9"J1'
Last night (Tuesday) at the fire in Brown
street the men of company Two did not re-
spond. Company Three, Captain Ball, which
was one of the reserves, reported with ms
whole company, and was sent back as they
were not needed While the fremen were at
work extingushing the fire another alarm
came in, this time from the east end OF the
city. There was no fire nor any signs OF hre
and it is thought and expressed that the alarm
was struck by some one opposed to the carry
ing out of the recent order, as its opponents
claim that their opposition is based largely up
on the fact that if, for example, an alarm
comes in from box 81, which is at Libby's Cor
ner. the fremen all respond, though the en-
CINE on the hill, No. 2, does not go. No.
Twos men run cut to the scene of the fire,
if not needed are sent back; perhaps an alarm
is sent in from the east part of the city, and by
the time they run back to their own engine
house, and get out the engine, they are too
much exhausted to render any service.
This it must be remembered, is an lmagina-
nv case. In regard to the matter OF striking a
false alarm last night, there are but five keys
to the box and whoever the guilty party is
that struck that alarm will be sure to be found
ont It was reported that No. Two's men
voted at their monthly meeting this month not
to turn out to any fire where their engine did
not 90. This was not exactly the vote taken,
but the company did vote to pay all fines IN
preference to going to fire without theli en-
CINE. They claim that all that can De zone
with them is to fine them fifty ceLts each Ior
non-attendance at a fire. Here the matter
rests

portraits of the beautiful waterfalls they de-

and most conscientious work The rush of the
descending sheet of foaming water into the
deep green pools below is rendered with great
truthfulness, while the rocky walls are very
solidly painted. In one the colors Of au-
tumn are on the foliage, which is seen in the
upper heights of the stream, in the other the
full luxuriance of summer clothes the scene.
In both there is truthfulness to nature show

There is at present disease on the spruce
trees in the forest in the north part of ARGOS
took county. 1t is said that the disease first
began in Miramachi and spread ON west until
it was found on the waters Of the st. John and
over the border into the States. How far it has
gone towards the northwestern part Of the
State I do not know. After tree is affected
it turns reddish and in about two years you
can rub the wood in your hand to a powder.
The tree easily breaks off and falls down.
Owners of timber lands have already met with
considerable loss. The commissioners of the
forest in New Brunswick are trying to in
