The Ohio Supervisorsh ps,

The Senate in executive session took up the
nominations for Ohio supervisorships which
were rejected en- masse, several weeks ago, but
renewed since then by the President. The de-
bate on them to-day was largely repetition of
the former discussion with the addition of
severe comments on the action of the Presi-
dent in sending back to the Senate precisely
the same nominations which it had so recently
rejected. The debate had not terminated when
the Senate adjourned, but the indications were
that the majority will adhere to their refusal to
confirm the unbroken list of Republicans for
the eight supervisorship's in question, and
that the pending nominations will once more
be returned to the President for revision.

Death of an Old Citizen.

On Sunday morning at 4.30 o'clock occurred
the death of one of our most venerable and re-
spected citizens. Terence MCGOWAN, whose de
mise took place at his late resideece, 223 Con-
gress street. Mr.. MCGOWAN was native of
County Leitrim, Ireland, and was born in
1906. He came to this country in 1915, since
which time he has been resident of Port
land. He was for many years engaged in the
book and clothing business on Congress street,
during which time he won the esteem and Of
lection of all by his genial disposition and up
right dealings He has always been a devoted
Catholic and an Irishman in whom his coun-
trymen found warm friend. In him they
placed the fullest confidence.
His obsequies will take place from the Ca
thedral of the Immaculate Conception, at 8 a.
m. on Tuesday morning, at which time solemn
requiem mass will be celebrated for the
repose of his soul.

Commercial Club Dinner.

The annual dinner of the Commercial Club
occurred on Saturday at the Ottawa House on
Cushing's Island. 1t was largely attended by
members of the club, who had for guests the
Boston party which is mentioned elsewhere
The dinner, which began at six O'Clock, was
very elegant and did great credit to Mr. Bick-
ford, the new landlord at the Ottawa who is
already well known and popular. Hon. Geo.
Walker presided. Brief and bright after din
ner speeches were made by the chairman, Hon.
A. w. Beard, Mr.. E. w. Kinsley, Mr.. E. W.
Dennison, Mr.. w. B. Fowle and Mr.. Stanley
Pullen. Afterward the party adjourned to
the broad piazzas where the post-prandal cigar
was smoked in the soft and cool sea air and
under a sky made brilliant by an unusually
beautiful sunset. The party returned to the
city at 10 o'clock. 1t was decidedly success
full and enjoyable affair, the presence of the
Boston guests contributing greatly to the pleas
nre of the occasion.

A mateur Base Ball Association


The lovers of the national game in this city
will be glad to learn that all interest in the
game is not to be allowed to die out, but that
for the purpose of retaining and increasing the
interest in base ball, an association, as the
name suggests of amateur base ball PLAYERS
has been organized, consisting of % members,
with president, secretary, treasurer and an
executive committee of three. 1t is designed
to form two mines in the association to be
known as the first and second nine, for the
purpose of practicing, and matched games will
be played with other clubs by the first nine as
soon as in complete practice.
Superintendent Leach of the horse railroad
has placed at the disposal and control of the
association the grounds near the Seminary in
Deering, and they will be at once put into con-
dition for playing.
Without making any pretentions as PLAYERS it
is proposed, free of charge, to give some good
exhibitions of playing as well as to place nine
in the field before the close of the season that
will make it interesting and troublesome to
defeat. For the purpose of practice the first
nine invited the Wholesale Grocers nine to the
grounds Saturday afternoon where some very
good playing by both mines was seen. The
Amateurs were without a pitcher and the
second and third bases and the centre field
were filed by others. The game was won by
the Grocers by score of IA to 70. Nine runs
were scored by the Grocers in the first and
second innings by passed balls, no one being
able to catch Vose's left-hand pitching.
The grounds will probably be opened the
coming week by game with Days nine of
Deerng, when full nine will be present and
play their first game

Scalded to Death.

Mr.. Hieber, of East Deering, an employee in
Orlando Leighton's pork factory, took his little
son, about eight years of age, to the shop with
him Saturday morning. The little fellow
strayed out of his fathers sight and went into
the engine room. The oil tanks are on the
floor below, and scuttle about two feet square
shut with trap door, leads to them. The
engineer heard noise, and observed that this
scuttle was open. Looking down he saw the
boys hat, and Immediately gave the alarm
A hook was procured and the boy pulled out.
1t was too late however, for the little fellow
was dead before he could be rescued It is
thought he must have opened the trap door
out OF curiosity, and as the floor was slippery,
have fallen in head first. He was fearfully
scalded. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. HE

THE CoLONELS MAD.
The Result Of an Attempt to Fuse" in the
City Committees.

A special meeting of the Greenback city
committee was held Friday evening and most
OF the Colonies, including Col. Elliot King,
Col. Sargent, the venerable John M. Todd,
Col. Gordon and others were present. The
only prominent Greenbacker who was not
present was the ex-Presidential and present
Congressional candidate, Col. r. M. Springer,
late editor of the late Sunday New Era, late
editor of the late Railroad New Era, editor of
the New Era-Leader and Campaign New Era,
President of the Maine State Circle B. P. L.,
late Commissioner of the Boston Globe
for the State ofMaine, correspondent of the
Washington View and correspondent of the
Chicago Sentinel.
Col Gordon, who is related to ex-Deacon
E. II. Cove of Biddeford, and is understood to
be opposed to fusion, (unless ex-Deacon Cove
is nominated) is said to have given his views
with considerable vigor, and at some length.
He vas replied to by several Colonies who
were in favor of fusion and not in favor of ex-
Deacon Cove. Col; Gordon got rather closely
pressed at last, COZ. King in particular getting
in rather heavy shots. Col. King remarked
that he wasn't so big ID fool but that he
could see the ability and honesty of a man who
didn't happen to belong to his own party,
this being understood to mean that Col. King
could see that Col. Adams or Gen. Anderson
might be more available than ex-Deacon Cove.
At this point the venerable philosopher, John
M. Todd, came to the rescue of Col. Gordon
He could see that Col. Gordon and those who
opposed fusion might be perfectly consistent
and honest, and that Col. King in approving
fusion might also be consistent and honest.
Col. Todd did not succeed in restoring peace
to the councils of the Colonels, as Col. King
kept on and made it extremely lively for ali
concerned. Col. Sargent, as usual, kept calm
and enjoyed the row, as is his habit. Col Sar-
gent is about the only Colonel who has never
been known to ''slop ovor." AT last the wordy
contest grew too hot for Col. Gordon, who left.
Another Colonel said that he didn't propose to
stop with "such lot of fools,'' and the meet
ing gradually broke up. In fact, we are
obliged tos say that the meeting was not called
to order, and the important business that was
to have been transacted was not attended TO.
Another special meeting will accordingly be
called.
There never will be peace in the ranks of
the Colonies while Elliot King lives.
