The Lowe Murder.
PORTLAND, Dec. l, 1879.

PORTLAND, Dec. /, 1879.
To tie Editor of the Portland Press:
DEAR SIR,-Please give place in your col
umns to the following statement in regard to
nv official conduct in the Lowe case, as your
paper of this morning enormously states the
facts in regard to it.
AT noon Saturday Marshal Bridges informed
me that he had Lowe in custody upon the
charge of the murder of his brother in Sep
TENDER last and that Lowe was ready to plead
guilty to the charge, and asked if he should be
arraigned that afternoon. L replied, es,
let him be brought before the court at three
O'Clock the usual hour for afternoon business. -
At three o'clock i appeared in court and was
informed by the Marshal that the report
ers of the PRESS and Argus claimed that the
arraignment of the prisoner should be defer
red until such time as their papers could have
the first publication of the news Neither the
Marshal nor any other officer informed me that
they were not then fully prepared in the case,
and did not suggest any other reason for its
postpo nement or delay These reasons re-
garded as insufficient and improper for pub
lie officer to heed-in the performance of his
official duty in the criminal courts, mindful
that ought to convict the guilty of crime, re-
gardless of what newspaper should first get
the pu blication of the details as an item OF
news.
L think your statement of the facts in regard
to my conduct in the case both unjust and I'M
warrantable, and can but think they must
have been inadvertently made.
Yours respectfully,
T. HI. HASKELL,
County Attorney.

Colby University.


The Echo says of Colby library: Seventy
volumes have been added to the library this
term, among which are several valuable pub
lie documents Thirty volumes have been add
ed by binding numbers Of the standard maya
zines which are taken. The librarian informed
us at the end of the eleventh week of the
term that the number of volumes taken from
the library had reached 2,100, and that, like
his public statements of the circulation OF the
library, means by students only.
The Colby Echo notes the following practi-
cal work of Prof. Elder of Colby University:
By the constant effort Of Prof Elder, and the
occasional assistance of the studen Is and other
friends of the College, the cabinet is quite rap
idly increasing in interest and value. Prof.
Elder is now making special effort to procure
and arrange a collection of specimens which
shall represent the industries of our state. 1t
is interesting to notice the progress already
made in this direction, in the GRANTEES, states,
limestones and mineral ores from several OF
the auarries and mines. Additions to this col
lection in specimens and information will be
most gladly received. Also any other speci-
mems of the minerals of our section, or from To-
calites more remote, as well as additions to
the general cabinet are always welcome.

The Thanksgiving Shoot at Peakes
al

The Thanksgiving OuOOC aU F0akeS
Island.
The visit of the Kennebunk sportsmen 10
the Peakes' Island pigeon and glass ball
match on Thanksgiving day was an occasion
of much pleasure and good-fellowship to all
concerned. The visitors were eleven members
of the Kennebunk Fish and Game Protective
Association, including Larrabee, first class
shot, and Cloudman, who was in the "Dia-
mond tie'' at Lewiston last September. They
were met at the Boston & Maine depot in
Portland by committee from the Peakes'
Island Club and brought directly to the Is
land, reaching here about o'clock a. m.
Proceeding at once to the grounds the
strangers were made acquainted all round and
the shoot commenced at pigeons, the Peakes'
Islanders sending "Old Reliable" Mr.. w. s..
Bracket to the trap By o'clock the pigeon
match was over, and upwards of 300 birds
pretty evenly distributed among the con-
testants; the match was umpired by Charles
Pollister.
AT this poiut the visitors were invited by
Mr.. w. T. Jones to partake of Thanksgiving
dinner at the Union House, and their cordial
acceptance led to destructive attack upon
turkey. After dinner and cigars, the company
re-assembled in the "Little Field for grand
glass ball match. Sides were chosen by G. l..
Bracket and Henry Trefethen, Jr, with the
understanding that the defeated party should
pay for the oysters. Twenty-Five balls eech
were to be shot att 10 from rotating trap and
pair of doubles, about 40 men contesting.
Darkness prevented the match from being
finished that night, and when the single balls
had been disposed of the shoot was adjourned
till next morning. Brackets side being one
ball ahead.
AT six o'clock the oyster supper was served
at the Union House and was discussed with
relish. The evening, till late hour. was
passed in social games During the evening
Mr.. Geo. G. Lord, Secretary of the Kennebunk
Club, produced an elegant gold-lined silver
goblet, richly engraved, which he presented in
behalf of the visitors to Mr.. T.. E. Skillings as
being the best pigeon shot in the Peakes'
Island Club. Mr.. Skillings in neat little
speech accepted the cup and returned the
good wishes of the donors
Next morning the double balls were shot off,
winding up the programme marked out for
the entertainment of the visitors.
Trefethens side came out one ball ahead on
the doubles. making tie between the sides
for the whole shoot In shooting off the tie,
at double balls, Brackets side was victorious,
winning the match by two balls.
The scores made were, on the whole, ex-
tremely satisfactory. Mr.. j. B. Jones sue
ceeded in re-taking the Club badge, and with
it the champi onship, while Mr.. Larrabee
sustained that relation to his own club.
The best scores were, at pigeons, 10 birds
each:

Ranudiation Threatened.

A despatch to the Boston Herald says
strong party of citizens of Bucksport are NOV
ing for a reputation of the Indebtedness Of
that town which was contracted by loan to
the Bangor & Bucksport railroad, on the
ground of fatal Irregularities in the action OF
the town when the bonds were issued. 1t is
not claimed that there was fraud, but only
technicalities, of which advantage may be
taken. There will be q lively discussion III
the town before this action can be carried, II 1t
can be at all, and no sympathy or considera-
ton can be expected from the outside public,
as the town is amply able to pay its debts ana
is not in the condition of Wiscasset.
