I'm the senate.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Jan. 10, 1880.
While one of the night watchmer
was on his rounds last night he discov
cred armed men in the Middle Library
which is situated in the upper story O
the State House. Two were first dis
covered and afterward eight. The mer
were carefully secrsted, secure from or
diuary observation, and were surround
ed BY large amount Of arms and am
munition ready for use. This intelli
gence causes considerable excite
ment, and the Augusta police fore,
will refuse to act until the Sc
creted men are removed.
They claim that, in case Of disturb
ance, few desperate men, with tn,
appliances at hand, could do an incal
culable amount of harm. The mer
have been promptly removed, by order
OF John Marshall Brown. The rumol
that has found its way abroad that til,
Governors room had been seized Ii
false. The crowd at the State House
to-day was greatly diminished. The
House was in session but a few min.
utes. Most of the members will remain
ever during the Sabbath.
The fusionists have as yet discovered
no relief from the embarrassment oi
not being in possession of a quorum,
and they have no particular plan for
next week. The Treasurer has direct
ed that no money be paid from the
treasury on order Of the Legislature
until he otherwise decides. He refused
to honor this forenoon two orders passed
by the Senate.
General Chamberlain issued an order
for the removal of the arms to the
State Arsenal at Bangor this afternoon.
They were enclosed In six boxes and
were landed on the cars in the presence
of q happy crowd. They were de-
spatched in charge of Captain J. W.
Berry, Of Gardiner.
BANGOR, Jan. 10, 1880.
The arms removed from the State
Arsenal here on December 80, to the
State House at Augusta, by order of
Governor Garcelon, and which were
returned to-day by General Chamber
lain arrived here this evening. A large
number Of citizens gathered on Ksndus-
keag Bridge and greeted the ordi-
nance bearing train as il passed. Much
was manifested and cheers
were given for General Chamberlain.
PoarLAND, Me-, Jan. 10, 1880.
1t is understood that Mr.. White, who
is accused of bribery. will reply that
he received the designations and certif-
Gates as stated, but did not hold the al
legged interviews, and that the story of
money payments is pure falsehood.
BosroN, Mass, Jan. 10, 1880.
A special despatch from Augusta
the House was called to
order there were but fifty. four members
in their seats. The Republicans we're
all absent. Visitors were admitted by
tickets frsm General Chamberlain's
office. At twenty minutes past nine
the House adjourned until Monday at
ten O'Clock. The Senate adjourned at
eleven o'clock, until Monday. A reso-
luton was passed providing for COM
nittee on State valuations. Mr.. Locke
objected to such appointment when
,ities were not represented.
There Is said to be about ono hun
lred stand Of arms concealed in q large
storage room connected with the State
Library, and a guard Of six to ten
men, armed with muskets, is placed
over them.
A letter has bsen rec-ivsd by q Fu-
,ionist from A. P. Gould In substance
i Is as follows "Say to all that in my
opinion the Governor and Council
should be chosen before action Is taken
n filling any vacancy. also think the
opinion of the judges should be disre-
yarded. We must hold the State gov
,rnment at all events, ifit can be done
'airly. Let not Republican be seated
n either House IL he can be excluded
lpon fair, legal grounds"
