Guilty in the Pennington Normal school.
The following trustees were present: Gov
Frederick Robbie. Supt- n. A. Luce, Stephen
hinckiey, L. G. Philbrook. A. w. Plummer
and A. F. Richardson, Charges signed by
several of the teacher were presented against
Prof. Rounds. The charges preferred hold
that he has been overbearing and irritable ::
| that he has been changeble and uncer-
| tain in making arrangements of studies: also
that the teachers did not know one day what
they were going to do the next. Several
other papers were also received and laid on
the table to await further action of the board
committee of inspection, consisting of
Messrs. Luce. Plummer and Merrill of the
board, associated with one member of the
Executive Council, was instructed to visit
the school at the earliest practicable time
and make preliminary investigation of the
matters there and report to the trustees.
Furthermore if. it is possible they are TO
make such an adjustment between the teach
ers and principal or any other parties con-
cerned in the difficulty as shall maintain
harmony at the school until the end Of the
school year if possible, and to keep the
teachers and principal in their respective
places until then, when thorough investi-
CATION will be made by the trustees and any
changes made that are deemed necessary.
But if no adjustment of this kind can be
brought about now, then the trustees will
take immediate action, sift the matter to the
bottom and make such changes at the school
as the result of the investigation demands
One of the trustees stated last evening, after
the meeting that there was but little doubt
that the teachers had some provocation for
the complaints made.

in Bangor on Tuesday morning at the aye of
81 years. was one of the most prominent and
best esteemed citizens of that city. The de
ceased was born in New Ipswich, n. II. and
came with his father to Hampden. near Ban
gor. in 1903 OF the children Charles was
the oldest, and the only one now remain
ing since his demise is Hon. George
Stetson. much respected citizen and
President Of the First National Bank
of Bangor. The subject of this sketch grad
uated from Yale College when about 20
years of age and returned to Hampden
where he studied law with John Godfrey,

his profession in that town For five years
following 1884 he was municipal judge af

ty. his services being especially sought by
persons desiring legal information on that

| timated to be worth over one million dollars.

GA RDINER

The warm weather of Monday and Tuesday
broke the hold of the ice on Water street and
brought out the street commissioner with his
force to do the spring cleaning. Commits
sioner Cunningham is always on the alert to
see that our streets are kept in as good con-
dition as the season will permit.
Mr.. Edward Robinson, who has been con-
fined to his house most Of the winter with
sickness, is again out on the street looking
much better.
Fl. w. Jewett & Co. have large pile of
logs for the spring opening in their boom
The unusual drouth during the fall and win
ter has kept the water so low in the Cobbossee
that they could not use the full power of their
mill, otherwise, these logs would have been
converted into lumber before this time. Mr.
Jeweit has one of the most convenient and
best arranged saw mills in the State. With
a .ull head of water it is capable of saving
&C, 200 feet of long lumber, 20, 900 shingles.
5000 clapboaris and 5000 bed,lats per day. of
ten hours each. They employ 20 men in and
about the mill, and II horses are used in
hauling the lumber and wood. The principal
part of the lumber ia shipped to Boston and
vicinity. vet the local sales are large. Tney
have a large number of orders IN hand and
are constantly receiving more.
At a special meeting of the board of alder
men Tuesday, A. NJ, X. b. Seabury was
drawn juryman for the April term of court,
in place of A. j. Hooker, who was excused
on account of official position as chief engi-
neer OF the fire department. The city cpun-
ell met on Monday evening when the joint
standing committees for the year were an
nounced. The finance committee not being
ready to report. the council adjourned until

reduction of Slls9. Sc from last year. The
county tax is S3472. 6s being S204.2S less

Quite number Of young people from Gar

six O'Clock train Tuesday morning, apparent
" elated with the nights pleasure.
EIbrdge TYLER was evidently not in the
spirit on the Lords day. Spirit, however.
WAS in him, and on Sunday afternoon, being
in an elevated state of mind, he began to de-
molish his stove and other articles of furni.
ture, making disturbances not consistent
with Sabbath quietness. Marshal Went
worth invited him to take a walk and fur
nished him quarters in the lookup for the
night. On Monday Judge Pennington as
sessed him. fine and costs amounting to S4l.
and put him under $500 bonds to keep the
peace. Failing to pay the fine or to procure
b Inds, Tyler was sent to the county Jail for
seven months. King alcohol treats his sub
iects very shabby sometimes.
