A letter has been received by the fusionists

II Is expected that Governor Chamberlain
will issue an order for the removal Of arms
to the state arsenal at Bangor this afternoon.
Should the order be issued the arms and
ammunition will be in charge Of City Mar

While a night watchman was on hi.

in the middle library in the upper story OF
the state house. Two we're frat discovered
and afterward eight men, carefully secreted
secure from ordinary observation, and we're
surrounded by large amount of arms and
ammunition ready for use. This intelli-
gence caused considerable excitement and
the Augusta police force will refuse to act
until the secreted men are removed. They
claim that in case of disturbance few des-
perate men with appliances at hand could
do an incalculable amount Of harm. The
men have been promptly removed by order
of Gen. John Marshal Brown.
The rumor that has found its way abroad
that the governors room has been seized is
false.

Chicago Elevators are Full OF Whoa,
and Railroads will Receive no More for
that Market.
Chicago. Jan. 10.-A grain blockade Of
prodigious proportions is the feature of the
grain trade in the market at present. The
elevators of the city, which contain an ag-
preeate Of sixteen million bushels, are very
nearly filed to their utmost capacity, and
for this market because when it arrives
there is no accommodation for it. In this
condition of affairs the directors Of the
board Of trade are considering the propriety
Of accepting as regulator the receipt in the
elevators aud s.orehouses along the line Of
the various railroads. Ii il also in contem-
plation to provide temporary storage out
side of elevators and to build new elevators
in various quarters OF the city. Large
numbers Of cars are lying along the tracks
in the city loaded with grain and unable to
deposit it. There are in storage eight mil
lions bushels of wheat, 100000 Of corn.
aad enough other grain to make the total
fourte. and one-fourth mil ions, against
total Of ten millions at this time last year
There are also ab,ut million bushels
afoa. in the harbor, and the elevators out
side Of the city and tributary to it generally
are we'll filled, some of them over crowded
For this condition of affairs the only ex'
planstion is that the grain syndicate, Of
which Jas. r. Keene is the representative
have, BY constant purchase, forced The

FIVE LIVES FOR ONE.

Never before in the United States
has a single murder been avenged 50
terribly by the law as that Of Joseph
Raber, who was drowned eighteen
months ago by some men who wished
to realize the value Of his life insur-
ance policies. Six moths ago two of
the alleged conspirators were hanged,
and yesterday three others suffered
the same penalty. For five lives to
be sacrificed for one seems terrible,
yet the crime Of the niurderers was so
shocking and malicious that the
courts could not possibly fix a ligh-
ter sentence upon any Of the pcrTe
traitors. Murder for money is the
basest form Of the greatest crime re-
cognized by law, and when the Of
Tense is the result of long premedita-
tation and plotting, its vileness III
creases. The execution of the five
Pennsyluanians will serve as pow
erful warning to would be villains of
a similnr stamp: but their crime also
should serve a purpose by cautioning
every one against Offering a premium
for murder, which many a man does
when he assigns interests in life in
surance or anything else that may be
turned into money as soen as he dies.
