Next Tuesday evening Miss Gertrude f.
Moore reads at the Unitarian church. Miss
Moore is Gardiner girl and has many
friends up and down the Kennebec valley,
and will doubtless have large audienceon the
occasion. Many of our citizens had an oppor-
tunity to hear her read atSquirrel Island last
summer, and were delighted by her self-pos-
session. her indebtedness, and her true
conception of the authors spirit. Since then
Miss Moore has appeared before the most
cultured audiences in Boston and other cities,
and has won the most lavish encomums from
her auditors and from the critics.

P0GG, BROWN, AND CHASE,
Ihe Three Ex-COuncillOrs Visit
augusta and Demand to
See the Returns.

Inc eight O'Clock train from the west Mon
aay ev'ng brought three fusion ex-counciIlors
Messrs. Brown, Chase and Foep. IN ,bis CITY
ihese worthless Immediately proceeded to
hunt up Mark Harden, and despatch him to
the residence Of Secretary of State Chad
bourne on Grove street, will, the following
| communication:
AUGUSTA, Me-, March 20 lss0
70 Hon Sumner j. CtadBourse:
Dear sir-Having observed the tenor of the re,,o,,
n,aae by the socaed Hale Investigating Committee.
and that said report charges that the refnrns o. ~
last State election have been altered and changsd
anu the undersigned are charged with others az be-
ing responsible for said alterations and changes we
tneIeIore ask and demand that we may Immediately
ed 70 inspect said returns in order that We
may refute the charges made by said committee said
'"arges peing false In every particular.
(signed) CHAS. II. CHASE,
:. 5. BROWN,
4. VI. FOGG.
Mr.. Chadbourne being out of town, Mr.
Harden called upon J. o. Smith, ESQ.
Deputy Secretary Of State, at the Augusta
House, and insisted upon a reply in writing
This was perempto-ily refused, and the mes
senger was informed that they could not be
allowed to inspect the returns Immediately.
will be observed that the communication was
not addressed to sIr. Chadbourne as Secre-
tary of State. The hour was nearly nine
O'Clock in the evening, not office hours and
not at the Secretary's ofice-an informal
proceeding.
The three ex-Counciilors were at Auburn
in conference Monday, and this is evidently
the result of their meeting. 1t will be re-
membered that these same men kept parties
who were personally interested in the result
of the election waiting more than one month
for the privilege of examining the returns.
Now the tables are turned and they are ask
ing access to the same returns. 1t will also
be remembered that the Hale committee gave
the ex-Councillors opportunity to be heard,
serving written notice npon them individu-
ally. 1t is more than probable that the OBJ
ject of :his demand is an attempt in some
way to break the force of the damaging effect
of the report of the Investigating Committee
1t is probable they did not expect to have
access to the returns nor did they desire it,
but did desire to get an answer in writing
to their demand, such as they can make
capital Of. They are in dilemma and are
struggling fearfully to extricate themselves.
Fogg stopped at the Cony House, Monday
night, and took the G o'clock train yesterday
morning for Lewiston. The fusion chief
tains did not wait for the Secretary of States
return, and did not call at his office in proper
hours. Probably the Observation-Disclosures
and thunder account Of this their desperate
attempt to make political thunder to offset
the damning revelations of the Hale Commit
tee.

LUMBER.
The Boston Journal of Commerce saws
The market continues active and firm. with
the distribution increasing as the season ad-
vances. The demand for pine is good and
prices are well sustained. There is. howey-
er, less export movement, owing to the en-
BANGED cost of lumber here. As the markets
abroad have not responded TO this advance,
shippers do not find it remunerative to oper-
ate largely. Eastern grades are coming more
freely, and some 800 900 feet have arrived
during the past fortnight. About all the lum-
Der on the Penobscot and kennebec has been
required for the building of ice houses, and
hence the supply will be considerably les
sened. PRICES have advanced on spruce
about 30 and 40 per cent. since last fail, while
