SkOwhegan Locals.


The statement in your paper a short time
since, that diphtheria was raging fearfully in
Skowhegan, needs some notifications. The
truth is the disease has not ragged to any great ex
tent in our town or vicinity. We can state upon
authority that for the last six weeks there have
not been over eight or ten cases of diphtheria
in our town. 1t is true several of this num-
Der died. From this fact sprang the alarm
and the exaggerated rumors. At the present
time we have no new cases.
Mr.. James Bray of this town died Saturday,
Oct "a, aged 20 years. For the last thirty
five years he has been subject to commissions,
when his stomach became empty, and for this
reason he was accustomed to take food every
two or three hours night and day, never hav-
a fit on full stomach. 1t was supposed by
many that he had tape worm or some live
creature in his stomach and bowels. The
post norton examination made by Dr's.
Gushing and Haynes revealed nothing
of this kind. He died from a cancerous con-
dition of the stomach complicated with dis
eased kidney, which came upon him in the
last year or two-The cause of his convul-
sions is still conjecture even with medical
men, He became at one time very feshy,
weighing 446 lbs. At the time he died he
could not weigh over 275 lbs.
Business in town is thriving, all kinds of
labor being in demand. Hard to get labor
done when you want it.

ult. at the State House. After day or
thereabout in session, a portion of which
was secret, they adjourned. There are ru-
mors that they are engaged in a scheme to
defeat the action Of the people in the election
of members of the legislature, by overriding
the constitution and usurping the power of
placing such men in the legislature as they
please. Of course if such scheme as this
should be undertaken and persisted in it
might lead to bloodshed. The republicans
will never yield their constitutional rights.
We doubt if such mad scheme is attempted,
in spite of rumors to that effect.

WASHINGTON.
Inspector Generals Report.

WASHINGTON, November l.. Gen. Marcy,
Inspector General of the army, in his annual
report, states there has been a marked inn
provement in skill In the handling of arms by
the army during the year, as well as in
craftsmanship with Springfield rifles. Not
withstanding the large amount of duty in
repairing and building quarters by small
army, the force is in good state of discipline,
but there are large number of extra duty"
men, of many military posts, who are COM
paratively without military instruction. Off
GERS of the army are habitually temperate
and and not addicted to gambling or other
vicious habits. The rank and file are en-
listed from more respectable classes than |
have ever before known during AZ years of
military service, and the troops generally
evinced a most commendable spirit in the
performance of their arduous duties.
Executive Order.
The following Executive order was issued
by the President:

One of the residents Of Cushnoc Heights is
the father of two boys whose ages are about
II and IA years respectively. One Of them
received good whipping last Wednesday
night from his father for some misdemeanor,
and accordingly he and his brother concocted
the plan of leaving the paternal roof to find
homes elsewhere. The next morning the
boys cleared, first driving their cows to pas
ture. Making their way up the river they
finally crossed to the east side at Lovejoy's
ferry and on to North Vassalboro. Friday
morning the father sent a man out after
them who went on to North Vassalboro, but
did not succeed in getting the runaways.
The next morning at 8 o'clock another man
started to try his luck and when near Water
vile overlook the boys, captured them, and
landed them at home in the afternoon. The
older one has given his father great deal Of
trouble, and the youngster may be put in the
Reform School where it won't be so handy
to go-as-you-please.
