The County Jail
By invitation of Sheriff I. D. SAWYER
whose two years term of office is about to ex :
pire, tie county Jail was inspected yesterday
by Commissioners Prince and Chaplin and a
number of newspaper men. Everything was
found in the most cleanly and satisfactory con-
dition. Indeed it is matter of question
whether there is similar institution in the
country where more regard is paid to the
health ana comfort of inmates than in Cum
berland county jail; nor one in which they are
more kindly treated or better fed and clothes
The capacity of the institution is for 125
prisoners. There are now 81, nine of whom
are women. All are employed in the work
shop, sewing room and kitchen, except the
poor debtors, who can have their own sweet
will about working if not about paying
All the cells are large, with plenty of room
for two stable cot beds and other furniture
Some of them are quite comfortably furnished
One, observed, occupied by two women, is
carpeted, has comfortable bed, elegant sofa,
etc., and canary and paroquet are there to
help while away the lonely hours OF their mis-
tresses.
In the workshop, which is in charge of Mr..
Harry Hale, the men seemed to be a. diligent
and busy as though their labor was not COM
pulsory. The labor performed ia very simple
and perhaps somewhat suggestive of fraud. 1t
consists of making the scraps and trimmings
of leather from tanneres and factories into
the facsimile of sole leather which is used in
making inner soles and heels for boots and
shoes. A capital counterfeit is produced The
;a1 of
lent, as will be seen from the forthcoming
report of the Commissioners The kitchen,
boiler and engine room were looked into, and
found to be in perfect order A new boiler
was put 10 lasU summer which doubles the Ca
racity for power and heating. It is especially
useful in extreme cold weather or in the event
of an accident to the other boilers at any time
When the prisoner enters, the apparel which
is worn is taken care of and they are furnished
with suit of ordinary gray. When they de-
part they are furnished with their own cloth
ing, and in some cases, where the oircum-
stances and their own conduct warrant, they
are given proper outfit.
Sheriff Sawyer's administering of the Jail
has been very satisfactory one. He retires
with the best wishes of all who have had occa-
sion to do business with him. During his two
years there has not been single escape from
jail, and the prisoners have been treated with
all the kindness and consideration for their
unhappy lot consistent with necessary disci-
pine.
In the civil department he seems to have
been equally successful and retires with not q
single suit having been brought against him Oh
any of his deputies, which is something quite
unprecedented, we are told.

70 the Editor Of the Press.
1t is all very well for some devote of the
Portlan Horse R. r. Co., to talk in your is
sue of Friday, to people who are careless OBJ
servers of the conditions of our streets, and no
particular interest except the getting across
the street. about not knowing the cause for the
accused condition of all the streets on the:line
of the horse railroad, but, to any one who
drives horses, 1t seems absurd Let any one
take horse and sleigh and drive about The
upper part of the town or ont of town and they
will see the most beautiful sleighing that could
be, except the horse railroad lines. Look al
Congress and Spring streets and then Dam
forth, State, Deering or any others, and see
how shallow the plea The places of which
they speak are either where they have c4rted
theie salty stuff TO clear their track or it has
been dragged along by the continuous DRIVING
of big and small teams. In conclusion il is TO
be hoped the above will open the eyes and
clear up the ideas of the business portion of
the citizens of Portland SO that if we live till
another winter we shall avert the course which
they nave brought upon US, and we cannot
avoid this winner.

Important Naval Appointments.

Pay Inspector j. A. Smith is to be appointed
paymaster general of the navy, and Rear Admiral
Wyman to be appointed member OF the light
house board, to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Admiral Rodgers. No one has yet been
selected to be superintendent OF the naval ooserva-
tory, but the probabilities are that Vice-Admiral
Stephen C. Rowan will be detailed to I'LL that
Office. Pay Inspector Smith, who is to be pay
master general, had charge OF the pay Office on
the corner of New York avenue and 18th street for
over three years. About six months ago he was
detached from duty and has been on waiting
orders since. Vice-Admiral Rowan has been on
duty as governor OF the naval asylum at Philadel-
phta and Admiral Wyman was but recently in
