whether certain kind of bitters was medi-
cine or a beverage. This unsettled trade.

The Ciyil Service.
Civil Service Commissioner Gregory has
called attention to the fact that, in a case re-
Gently forwarded by the naval officer at Phila-
dslphia, Secretary Folger decided that a pro-
motion from a messengership to the lowest
giade of clerkship would be in violation OF the
civil service act Commissioner Gregory said
that he had no doubt on this point, although
he had seen many suggestions to the effect that
acoutrary decision might be expected. A re-
cent correspondence between Secretary Folgel
and himself satisfied him that the secretary
did rot hold the foolish view that such an eva.
sion of the law as such promotions would moi
be a violation of the law. Secretary Folger's
decision in the Philadelphia case established
the principle that entrance to the lowest grade
OF cerkships could only be had through the
competitive examinations of the commission
This ought to be thoroughly well understood

RAILWAY NOTES.
The Megantic Railroad.

New Portland will hold another adjourned
town meeting today to consider the railroad
question. A part of the citizens are in favor
of loaning the credit of the town to the pro-
posed road to Sandy river. Another part are
opposed to loaning the towns credit to any
railroad scheme. A third party in town is in
favor of striking the Maine Central by build
ing narrow gauge road six or seven miles to
North Anson. A lively discussion is going on,
and the whole Dead river region takes deep
interest in the question. The result Is uncer.
tain.
Sandy River Road.
Road Master Wagg and Engineer Allen Of
the Maine Central have looked over the i'm
provements of the Sandy River road. The
day is not far off when the cars of the Maine
Central will be run through to Philips and
the large expense Of transferring freight, now
incurred by shippers, will be saved. Much Of
the stock recently sold to the Maine Central
folks, was transferred, on the written condi-
ton that the gauge should be changed within
three years.
Another ROAD Aiming for the Sault ste.
Marie.
Articles of Incorporation of the Canada, La
Crosse and Southwestern Railroad have been
filed with the Secretary of State OF Wisconsin.
The line in that State is to extend from La
Crosse, traversing the counties of La Crosse,
TIempealeau, jackson, Clark, Taylor, Mara
thon, Lincoln, Langlade and Oconto, to q
point in Marinette county on the State line Of
Michigan, being about 275 miles in Wisconsin.
The line will then continue northeast to Sault
Ste. Marie, farther distance of about 225
miles, making total length Of 500 miles. The
principal place of business will be at La
Crosse. The act of incorporation took effect
Sept. 8, 1888, and continues one hundred
years. The capital stock is S12, ,5Co, 900, valued
at S1Co per share. Eighty-five thousand shares
are to be common, and 10000 shares Of value
500 preferred stock In reference to the pro-
iect the Montreal Gazette says that the
scheme, being feasible one, and one which Is
recommended by economic considerations,
there is much to encourage faith in the genu-
ineness of the enterprise. After giving the
scheme in detail the Gazette goes on to say:
"To Montreal the construction of an air line
from the heart Of the American Northwest TO
this point would prove Of vast benefit, giving
us control Of the import and export trade OF
that section OF country. The progress OF the
enterprise will, therefore, be watched wit
considerable interest, and in the hope that il
is not more visionary and unstable project"

PENSACOLA, Sept. 13--Much indignation Is
expressed in the navy department. at the fail
ure of the State authorities of Florida to at
tend to or care for the destitute people on the
reservation here, even when appealed to
by the naval authorities. Commodore
English says in regard to the mat
ter, that the absolute indifference Of
the State authorities shows almost q lack OF
humanity, when 1t is considered that the resi-
dents OF the reservation are in no way con-
nected with the navy, but should be the
especial care OF the State. IT, he says, the
State authorities were unwilling or unable to
prevent the people starving, they could at
least help them by making an appeal to the
six new cases of yellow fever and two deaths
at the navy yard.
