EplroRs DIsPATCH:
One of the most pleasant and pofit-
able days of my life was last Friday,
spent at the Mississippi A. & NJ. Col
lege, and l want to tell your readers
about it. First of all, let me say if !
had been a little prince, or candi-
date for the legislaturc,inste of the
plain, sun-browned farmer | am, am
sure | would not have received any
more attention than | did. Every
man connected with the College IS a
gentleman, and knows just how to
make a man feel at ease and ENJOY
what they have to show and best Of
all are not afraid of the labor and
trouble it requires. From the moment
| stepped from the train to the
time Of my leaving in the evening, |
saw and heard more than | can tell
in day. The classes were IN the
section rooms, but as did not care
so much for the grammar and arith-
metic, l asked the polite and efficient
Secretary and treasurer, Mr. Watson,
to show me prof. Gully's room, whom
we found in the midst Of an interest
inc exomplifcation of the fence ques-
ton. When he finished | thought
those sophomores could 90 home this
summer and tell their fathers how to
build strong and cheap fences. Thence
to the laboratory runs the natural
wish of farmer, and with Prof Gull
lev added to our party we called on
Prof. Myers, who was busy with a
class analyzing salts and acids. AS
we passed along the line the fumes of
chemicals told plainly that honest
work was going on, and that in few
more years these young farmers would
know how to make compost heaps
out Of home gathered materials and
save themselves many Of the thous-
ands their fathers are now paying for
foreignmade maumes, A knowledge
of chemistry is just as essential to

JURY BRIBED.
Serious Charges Against Dorsey.
BE Is Said to Have Paid Large Sums OF
Money to Three Of the Jurors.

PHILADELrH1A, Sept. IA special Wash.
ington dispatch to the Times says that for
some days 1t has been whispered about that a
sensation was yet in store for the public in
relation to the recent Star route trials 1t is
now ascertained.ths the acquittal Of Stephen
w. Dorsey was secured by direct bribery and
wholesale corruption Of the jury. Whatever
has been said of these cases, it has been hitherto
conceded that the last jury was an honest
jury and reached in an honest way an honest
verdict As time has elapsed, however, the
jury has not wholly escaped suspicion. There
is good authority now for the assertion that the
second jury was tampered with in an even
more dagrant and outrageous manner than the
first Evidence ON the point has been quietly
gathered and the chain woven link by link,
until 1t is strong enough, 1t is allegedsto hang
the guilty. At least three of the Jurors are
believed to be involved and Dorseys money
paid for their decision Of acquittal, In one
particular case II is alleged that the gorb6
tween who acted for Dorsey approached the
controlling spirit of the jury, bent on this infa-
NOUS ,errand. The Juror promptly rejected
the advances and he declared he would deal
with no middle man, but must negotiate
alone with the principal He would have
nothing to do with it except with Mr.. Dorsey
himself. 1t is stated that Dorsey was duly in
formed OF this determination on the part of the
juror, and, though much against his will, sub
mitted to an interview. The man that ar
ranged that interview is the man who has col
lected this evidence. Big money was demand
ed and paid and the controlling stock in the
star ronte jury thus secured The evidence of
this wholesale purchase is now being prepared
and will be laid before the grand jnyy at Its
next meeting. This will not be until the 8th
OF October. The amounts paid each juror are
known. In some cases the bribes exceeded in
amount the fees paid the government officers
which have been so freely criticised as extray-
agant.

The plant and lines Iof the Arnoux Electric
Light and Power Company of this city were
yesterday sold and transferred to the Consoli-
dated American Electric Light Company Of
Maine. This company which has already es
tablished a 100-light plant at Old Orchard.
covers the entire State, and will Immediately
place the dynamos and machinery OF their
system in this city, and proceed to establish
plants in all the principal cities of Maine. The
system to be used is known as the Houston q
Thompson, and is undoubtedly the most per-
feet system of arc-lighting yet in use In this
country. The officers of the consolidated
company include many of our best known
business men, Geo. A. Thomas, VIM. R. Wood,
d. W. Coolidge, Franklin j. Rollins, Payson
Tucker, Elias Thomas, Clarence Hale, with
other directors in other cities of the State; and
from the well known business ability OF these
gentlemen 1t may be expected that the busi-
ness of electric lighting will be pushed for
ward with energy.

NATIONAL TEMPERANCE ALL
ANCE.
62 100000 Bushels of Grain Distilled
Yearly into Liquor.

OLD ORCHARD, Sept. THE second day of
the National Temperance Alliance began at
1880 o'clock this morning. Rsv DR.. Knowl-
ton of Worcester, offered prayer. Rev Mr.
Luce of Lewiston presided and made some elo-
quent remarks. Rev. Mr.. Lord of Biddeford,
so years of age, followed Mr.. Luce. He had
been battling against rum since 1881. His re-
marks were interspersed with numerous anus
ing anecdotes illustrating events incident to
his long and useful experience. The address
was full of fire and convincing argument. Mr..
Jewell, Worthy Chief Patriarch of the Sons
of Temperance Of the United States, was the
orator of the service. He said that this enor-
nous traffic costs 500, 900 900 annually, equal
to Sl4 tax per capita, and 81, 100000 bushels Of
grain were distilled into alcoholic liquors an
nually. Physical development for public men
ministers aed college graduates, was only to be
obtained by total abstinence. The Oldest tenn
perance organization In America was estab-
lished IN 1842, and the work. has been going on
ever since for the suppression of intemperance.
What is morally wrong can never be made
right by an act of legislature. Begin at the
foundation and destroy distilleries.
Rev. Mr.. Knowles followed in an exhorta-
tion.
He claimed the moral sentiment of the peo-
pie was not what IL was. Our business is with
the moral sentiment of the world and to edu-
cate children to fight the liquor traffic as q
deadly enemy.
At 2 o'clock Rev. Mr.. Munson of South Ber-
wick was the presiding officer and offered
few remarks. Rev. DIR. Dorchester of Boston
made an address on the topic of constitutional
prohibition. The tenor of his address was to
strengthen hope in the hearts of temperance
men for the ultimate abolition of the traffic
and use Of Intoxicating liquors. He denied
that an innate love OF achohol rested in every
human soul. He compared slavary with alco-
hal. The adjustment Of slavary has been ac-
complished in this country and others; so will
alcohol and intemperance be overthrown. He
was particularly severe ON beer and light
wines. DIR. Knowles is the most eloquent ad-
vocat OF the principle of gprohibition that has
taken part in these meetings. II. L. Shorey of
Bridgton and A. j. Chase spoke In favor OF q
prohibitory amendment.

Base Ball TODAY.

This afternoon one OF the largest crowds
seen on the Presumpscot Park grounds will
witness the ball game between the Dirigo and
John L. Whiting clubs The game played by
these clubs some four weeks ago was very
close one, and was won by the Writings only
through the grossly wrong decisions Of the
umpire-a Boston man. To-day a fair and
honest umpire is all the Dirigos want, and we
understand they will have one, and il they
are inferior as a club to the Writings, it will
be shown. A large number of those interested
in base ball are confident that the Dirigos
will win. and the nine say that they will do
all in their power not to disappoint their
friends. 1t would be a good plan, we think,
to arrange the ropes by the catcher SO that he
can have chance TO get high foul balls, and
not cramp him up in small space as was oned
in the Peavey-Dirigo game

LABOR ENQUIRY.

New YORK, Sept. 7.--Mr. Jewett was again
upon the stand today as witness before the
Senate subcommittee ond labor, and resumed
his testimony. The only hope for the laboring
man was to educate him and improve his NOR
ais and he would soon be able to look out for
himself. He believed the only way in which
by organizations like trades unions. A great
wrong had been done to the iron manufactur-
ers in this country by the high prices which
they we're charged foI ore A reduction OF so
ton in the price Of ore had been made lately
but the owners OF mines could make further
reduction and still make a handsome profit.
The coal mines OF Pennsylvania were in
great measure owned by the railroad compaH-
les, which circumstance the witness thought
was very dangerous to the interests OF the pub
lie. The condition of the 10000 coal miners OF
Pennsylvania was pitiable and miserable In
the extreme. Their wages were too low, they
were subject to the truck system almost uni
versally, and In consequedcs OF their utter de-
moralization they spent at least oDe-half their
aarninp pa in drink

During his absence he made full arrangements
for a Massachusetts excursion to Gettysburg,
which leaves Boston the evening of Oct 23d,
the details Of which will be given to the pub
lie when the list of delegates OF the Massachu-
setts regiments and batteries appointed to
mark their positions at the battle are received.
II can be announced, however, that the ex-
pense of the excursion from Tuesday night to
hotel bills at Gettysburg and transportation
over the field will come within $25. The pres
ent indications are that both the military and
citizens will be largely represented, and many
letters are being received from Massachusetts
sons in other States that they will be present.
