ARMOUR Electric Light Company

A reporter of the PRESS visiting the works
OF this company on Plum street yesterday,
noticed very many signs of the rapid
growth of their business. They have quite
outgrown their original quarters and sre an
nexing the old Stevens foundry building ad-
joining. al Of which additional room will be
required TO accommodate the boilers, engines
and other apparatus, now on baud or to ar
rive. The Lew equipment will iDclude three
boilers OF 80-horse-power (the company here
after TO furnish their own pcwer) new double
engine of 150-horse-power, so arranged that
in case of accident to one the other can run in
dependently, and the engine OF 75-horse-pow
at present employed, giving altogether 225-
horsepower, sufficient tc run that number of
lights. The company are now running forty
one lights, including fifteen or sixteen on the
all night circuit. They have a large number
of orders abe ad for new lights, and will add
them az fast as the lamps can be obtain ed
from the manufacturers, who are at present
unable to furnish them as fast as required
From the foregoing description of the large
and thorough equipment of the company II
will be evident that it is to be permane nj
thing.

Sewell g. Strout, Esq, of this city, against
seven students of Bowdoin College on account
of injuries inflicted upon young Snout result
ing in partial loss of sight, while defendants
were engaged In haziDg Freshmen, was

The Executive Council.

The next session Of the Executive Council is
called for November 9th, and it is probable
that the gentlemen will be in Augusta most Of
the time after that date until the new admin
istration comes in. They will have to tabulate
the legislative returns and close up the BUSH
ness of the year. Every town and plantation
in the state has forwarded its returns to the
office of the Secretary of State. The planta-
tons of New Canada, st. Francis and Sheri-
dan had no returns to send. BY singular
omission the officers OF the plantations nag lect-
ed TO send to the Secretary of State returns Of
the officers elected at their March meetings, as
every city, town and plantation is required by
Law TO do. Consequently, when the Secretary
of State sent out his election blanks previous to
the election, he had no legal knowledge Of the
existence Of these plantations and sent them
no returns. New Canada has improvised cleo
ton returns. It is question whether they
will be held valid or not. The other organiza-
tipns have not been heard from. The Secre-
tary of State had to drum up many Of the re-
turns. Two of the last to come in were those
of Sidney and Whitefeld, towns under the
very shadow of the Capitol
