Suspected of Being a stop-Clock.

The attention OF that august body, the county
commissioners, is respectfully and prayerfully
called to the fact that the courthouse clock has
not been running for three days. The natural

to go again, when the old man died" In the
present instance, the clock manifests an I'M
wayering and overwhelming Partially fol
twenty minutes past 3 O'Clock. The thing is
growing monotonous, and something should be
done. If it can't be made to run regularly 4
small boy should be stationed in the tower to
change the hour every few minutes. A long
suffering public demands relief from that ever
lasting t-wenty-mlnutes past three.

Island street, was arrested yesterday by Officer

assaulted Mrs. Barrett at her home on North

A Ouestion for SNEAKER Bvnum.

Hon. W.. d. Bynum, late Speaker of the House
of Represen tatives, cards an evening paper at
considerable length regarding his connection
with the opposition is the State-house bill, at the
late session of the Legislature, and concludes by
a series of interrogatories especially directed to-
ward the press of the city. Since Mr.. Bynum has
shown himself so prolific in information, the
public would be Interested in getting from him
an answer to the following: "When you were a
for Speaker. before the Legislature as
sembled, did you not have a specific understand
ing with Messrs. Heffren and Mccormack that, in
consideration of their support to your candidacy,
you would appoint them members of the com
mittee to investigate the affairs of the new State
house, although you knew that one, and proba-
bly, both of them, were prejudiced in the mattel;
and when Mr.. ShOckney offered the resolution
for the inquiry, did you not, contrary to ali par
liamentary precedent and usage, appoint Mr..
Heffreh chairman of the committee, instead
of Mr.. Shockrey, and was not this in accordance
with the unfair bargain made before The ses.

THE NEW GOOD TIME" LAW,
Whereby Mrs. Nancy E. Glenn and Other
Noted Criminals Are About to
Be Released,

Senator Hoover's bill relating to the c~onvicts
of State prisons is likely to have the effect of de-
populating, to a large extent, the State penal
institutions. Under it's provisions prisoners in
the penisentialies or the Women's Reformatory
are entitled, for gGhd behavior, to a diminutiOn
of their term of Imprisonment upon the schedule
of one month for the first year, two months for
the second year, three months for the third
year, four months for the fourth year, and five
months for each successive year for a sentence
of twenty-one years. Mrs. Sarah ]. Smith,
superintendent of the Reformatory for Women
and Girls, whose attention had been directed to
the new law, called at the office of the Secretary
of State yesterday for the purpose OF learaing
how 1t affected the female prisoners, and under
the Interpretation placed upon it, she found that
Mrs. Nancy e. Glen, the notorious criminal, now
serving a sentence of three Years, whose term
entitled to release about the lass of May. Mrs.
Clem's conduct has been f~aultless, and credit for
six months on good behavior will be due her If
the law is understood to apply to the Female
RefOrmatory the same as IT, the Penitentiaries,
while many others by their credits
VIII be entitled to release now. 1t is ones
t%l0nable, however. il the Reformatory prisoners
are entitled TO credit for past goo conducT, as
section three, allowing time on unexpired sem
fences, refers only to penitentiar1es, although
it was doubtless intended that the law should an
ply equally to the prisoners of both penal insti-
tutlons. The section in question reads: "The
warden, in computing the dimIButiOn OF time tor
those convicts now in the penitentiaries, shall
allow them the good time granted for the years,
or year, or part of o year of their unexpired
sentences" AS no mention is made in this Sec
ZION or the Reforlnatory, IL is questionable II the
female prisoners can be accorded the same rights
given the penrtentiary convicts on their past
good conduct, and a correct Interpretation OF the
section will allow the latter time on their unex-
pred sentences only according to the old sched-

from death from malarial blood poison by
the use of the great s. 8. 8. (Swift's Spe-

In 1880 | came from the North TO take
charge of the gas works In Rome, as super
intendent, and after the overflow which oc-
Cured in the spring following, was very
much exposed to malarial poison, and In
1882 found my blood so contaminated with
the poison that was forced to give up bust
ness. / was treated by the Rome physi-
clans without re ief, they advising me TO 90
North, which / did. The doctors North
told me that my only hope was to
return to the milder climate. and accord
ingly | came hack to Rome completely
broken down and nearly a skeleton. My
trouble finally determined In an abscess oi
the liver, and nearly every one (myself in
cluded) thought was doomed to die with
in few days. In this condition ! was adj
vised by friend TO take swilt's Specific,
and took It just as u drowned man would
catch hold a straw; but AZ soon as my sys-
ten got under the influence Of the remedy,
the abscess came to point and burst, pass
ing OF without pain. In Is days after this l
was up at my work, and have since enjoyed
excellent health.
Every sufferer from malarial poison should
take Swift's Specific. Yours truly,

am locomotive engineer and have been for
twentg years, and am now running on the
Maine Central Railroad. Life on an engine,
as all engineers know, is very trying to the
health and strength. The continual jail Of the
engine, and strain on our long trips all tend to
weaken the kidneys and urinary organs. In ad-
dltion To this, ten years ago, / met with severe
accident, and was taken from under my en-
gine with severe internal lnju les, which gave
me great pain. / was laid up fer six months,
and suffered more than i can describe, and
more thanI wish to suffer again. l resumed
work, but my kidneys began to desturb me, and
my nervous system seemed to be out of order

constant attention that ! was kept awake a
great part Of the night; to urinate caused severe
pains. i employed the best medical skill in
Portland and elsewhere but continued to grow

Twas persuaded to try Hunts Remedy as
found that many of my friends in Portland had
used 1t with great success, yet l had no faith
that 1t would reach my case. However, l sent
fora half-dozen bottles mt one of the druE stores
IN Portland and from the use of the first bottle

better and the pain In the back and limbs

had used ten bottles in all, and it has been to
me wonderful blessing, and l have deemed
