INCIDENTS.
Alexander bennett, an aged gentleman of
Kittery was in the court room in the morning.
This gentleman is the trial justice before whom
Richard Wagner was arraigned II years ago
for the murder committed at the Isle of
Shoals, and the preliminary proceeding in the
Blaney-B -Bsrrows murder were also held before
him.
Mrs Baney will testify Saturday morning.
She is at present in Biddeford and came there
two nights ago.
The crowd is fearful. The County Attorney
had to wait five inmates for admission in the
afternoon and reporters have to be around or
take notes from the sidewalk.
One old man fell down the court house stairs
with what result we do not know.

THE civil service reform association
deems i. necessary to issue a circular to
correct the impression that it Is laboring
directly for the election of Mr.. Cleveland.
The officers say their constitution prevents
this, and yet the impression is the roat
natural in the world. Mr.. Cleveland so
clearly represents radical reform of the
civil service that to urge that reform in any
way, by argument or appeal, is to lead
converts directly to the polls with Cleve-
land ballot in their hands. The election of
Blaine would be the defeat Of ell the civil
service reform association has labored for
since its organization.

Chicago EXPOSITION .

The 18th Consecutive, Annual Inter-
State Exposition will be held in Chicago
September to October IS inclusive. Ex-
cept, pc, aibly, the old American Institute,
the Oh, ago Industrial Exposition is, we
believe, he only organization of its class
which "a long series of years has held its
exhibit, ms without intermission, or which
b IS be.a uniformally successful in the high
G laract,r OF its display or in financial re-
salts. Having only $l7S,000 from sub
criptions to its capital stock in 1878, it has
p nd its current expenses, made all neces-
ssry repairs and expended over six hundred
thousand dollars on construction and per
sonal property accounts, and is entirely cut
of debt to-day. The average annual attend
ance of visitors paying admission is about
100000, or 10000 per day for 40 days. No
similar organization IN America can show
any such record of well deserved success.
Like the city of Chicago and the North
west its progress has been without parallel.
For the current year, we arc informed,
the application for spaces have been even
more numerous and urgent than ever be-
fore. The mammoth building is full to
overlooking with nove.hand interesting ex-
hibts in all departments. No pains nor
expense have been spared by the manage
ment to render the exhibition attractive
and usefully educational.
All transportation lines in the northwest
will give their lowest excursion rates to Wis
itors. Admission to building, adults 25
cents, children 10 cents. The exhibition
will be open every day except Sunday from
5 a. m. TO 10 p. m.

THE Good Templars of Illinois held the
3lst convention of the order at Bloomington
some days ago, and one of the important
actions taken was the adoption of the re-
port Of the committee on political action,
In which the following paragraphs occur:
"We would at the same time impress on
the mind of the Good Templars of Illinois
that the end and aim Of Good Temparsm,
in addition TO intoxicating the virture of
total abstinence, from its first organization
has been and is now such education, apita-
ton aud legislation as will entirely out!ive
the traffic and place the dram.seller on q
level with criminals. Such being the OBJ
ject of our order its membets should be
educated as far as possible to withhold
their ballots from any candidate or any
party that is not in favor of the home and
against the dram-shop. 80
with pride and satisfaction we remind
Good Templars' that the prohibition party
which is to day the champion Ct home and
the people, of better civilization, noblel
manhood and womsnhood, is simply th,
outgrowth of our non-partisan educational
system, and while we should not attempt
to dictate 10 members of the order concern
ing their party affiliations, we reiterate thu
recommendation of the right worthy Crane
lodge and the grand lodge of this state b,
advising all Good Templars to give prohi
brtion party their hearty support. and WI
see no objection to the holding of public
meetings under the auspices OF the lodg
for the purpose of discussing the question
Of prohibition in all Its phases from plat
form. We wonld also urge Good Templar
while they engage in free, fearless discus
sion, to cultivate liberal liberal, kindl,
charitable spirit with their brethren, VIII
cannot see their way clear to irdependen
political action at this time"
