A sensational story has been sent from
this city to the effect that at one time dur
ing the Presidents illness the doctors had
all given him up, and that Vice-Prcsident
Arthur, justice of the Supreme Court, and
all the Cabinet officers had gathered at the
White House in expectation of the Presi-
the Vice-President. The report is denied
ON the best of authority. At no time since
the shooting have the physicians given up
the President. Drs. Bliss and Reybum
have been sanguine from the beginning.
They realized the gravity Of the case, but
have never given way to despair.

in favor of pressing for vote Oh the reorgan-
ization resolution sufficient time to make it
clear to the country that the Republicans
stand by any persons at the South who will
labor in good faith to secure the same freedom
in voting and the same fairness in counting
votes that we usually have at the North In
order to do this he does not think it necessary
for the session to be protracted through the

road takes effect the regular morning train
from Bangor will run express as far as Water
vile, stopping at Newport and Burnham. The
regular morning and evening trains will have
one or more second class cars attached: one
third OF these cars will be partitioned off for a
smoking room, the rest being like any passen-
ger coach. The fare in these cars from Ban
gor to Boston will be but 81. and from Bangor
to Portland about 1915. This reduction is
made in order to increase the through passen-
ger traffic on the on all-ral route The Euro
pean & North American Railway will lay its
entire line with steel rails as soon as possible.
and the other connecting lines of the all-rail
route will do their best to make this new

increase of travel is expected this season ON

than that of any previous year is antici-
pated, and the increase will be deserved, for

IRISH LAND LEAGUE.
Address by Hon. T. R. Simonton.

The regular monthly meeting of the Irish
Land League last evening was large
and enthusiastic. The question Resolved
that the interest of the Irish race
can be promoted more by Home
rule than by absolute independence" was ably
discussed by several members, and was con-
tnued until the meeting next Monday even
ing.
Hon. T. r. Simonton of Camden was pre-.
sent and delivered very eloquent and able
address. He commenced by referring to the
long line of Irish patriots who persisted on the
scatfold and in the field in defense of Ireland
liberty, and compared them with the tea
spiders and the patriots of '76 who wrested
this land from George Ill. In graphic
language he painted the dark dark history of
Erlns wrongs and denounced the infamous
land system which to-day hangs like an in
cnbus on the energies of the Irish race. Mr.
Simonton said he believed the land belonged
to the people, and that the Irish peasant should
have Gods green earth to cultivate for him.
self and family. The absentee landlords were
vampires sucking the life blood of the people.
He dwelt IN eloquent terms upon the noble
virtues Of the Irish race, and hailed the day,
as not far distant when Ireland would take her
place among the nations of the earth, and
Emmet's eptaph be written. He closed with
quotation from the Irish poet Moore, amid
great aud long continued applause.
The League by rising vote unanimously
thanked Mr.. Simonton for his eloquent ad-
dress

opinionated, quaint Yankee widow is as per
feet a Characterization as any known to the

voice, gesture and makeup are all exceeding

comedy has been pruned and added to by the
introduction of daughter of the Elder Sniff.

fections and becomes step-daughter and niece
to the widow.
Mr.. George Stoddart, as the Elder was as
clever as ever, looking and acting the part
with great skill Mrs. George Stoddart was an
excellent Melissa. and the other parts were
well TAKEN
There was very good audience present and
all the points made by the Widow and Elder
were received with shouts of laughter. The
stage coach, the scene in the garden, and the
interview with Mr.. Crane all ELECTED loud APP

afforded to witness the play.

Two Beautiful Carriages.

We were shown at Martini Pennell & Co.'s
yesterday, two light buggies constructed for
Mr.. F. W. Lockwood, d wealthy gentleman of
New York. Some time ago Mr.. Odell, the
great livery proprietor, owner of the Saratoga
stables in New York, procured from Martin,
Pennell & Co., Sleigh and was so we'll
pleased with its workmanship that he gave
an order for buggy that afforded equal salts
faction. Mr.. Lockwood saw the buggy aud de-
sired the same firm to do their best for him.
The result is a carriage, with movable top,
light and fairy-like in its graceful construc-
ton, weighing but two hundred pounds, and
yet as strong as the best steel, wood and leath-
er can make vehicle. The finish is exquis-
lite and on each side is the owners monogram
in colors; the buggy is made for one person.
The other buggy is equally as well made, but
for more serviceable work, and will weigh 260
pounds. Messrs. Martin, Pencil & Co. may
we'll feel proud of their job.
