Pierre Dumont, the Frrnchman who was
injured 40 badly the 10Th inst, in the tan
merry of H. Poor & Son, Winn, died FRIDAY
evening He conscious from early
Thursday morning We hear that when the
body was lifted while preparing it for inter
ment the flesh on the back of the leg that had
been stripped so badly fell off. The place in
the tannery where he was injured has been
before considered dangerous but in this case
the danger was increased by his carelessly
using his foot in the operation of putting
on the belt.

The game of polo at the Gardiner coliseum
discovering, between the Alphas and Mascots,
was very closely contested game. The
Mascots won by score of to ?, but bad to
work hard for their victory. There was con-
siderable dissatisfaction expressed with the
decisions Of the referee. Both teams did
some fine playing. The Gardiner team ex-
celled in rushing but the Alphas handled the
ball with the most ease and accuracy. The
Alphss showed want of practice. which was
very manifest during the first goal. Tom
Clark, as goal keeper for the Augusta team,
made some very handsome stops, but was not
equal to peder Bert Locke did excellent

for some one to say as much in as
little as did Major Burke in a speech

all its cotton into cloth, the crops
would yield nine hundred million
of dollars annually, instead of
$500, 100000, as it now does. To
this could be added the loss that
originates from the want of labor
to gather our crops, for the fields

A smokeless Engine.

- =
There has been running on the
Eastern railroad, between Boston.
and Portland, for three weeks past,
a locomotive engine that emits no
smoke. 1t is the invention of DR..
G. Holland and the result of many
years experimenting. Its construc-
ton is thus described: Its tender
has water-tank somewhat larger
than the usual size, and within this
is a tank holding 900 gallons Of
crude naptha. This and the water
from the other tank are forced by a
donkey-pump though small valves
into four retorts under the boiler
and are there decomposed, the oxy-
gen of the steam uniting with the
carbon of the oil at the great heat
and leaving the hydrogen free.
The fire can attain its highest de-.
gree Of heat in ten minutes from
the time it is lighted. The esti-
mated cost Of running the engine is
six cents mile-a saving Of about
forty-five per cent on the cost of
coal. The oil is entirely consumed,
and there is no escape of smoke or
cinder,-[Ex.

BEING one of the foremost men
in the proceedings which led to the
war, one would naturally suppose
that James G.. Blaine at the break
ing out of hostilities rushed to the
scene Of carnage. 1t seems, how
ever, that he didn't. The tented
field knew him not. What, then,
is his war record? He lived at
Augusta, Me-, and in time an Or
ganization was effected there to
protect men against the draft, each
member paying $25 into the fund
to hire a substitute, if drafted
Blaine was the first man drafted in
his district. Out of that fund he
hired a substitute named Bradford,
but instead of going to the front a
soft place was found for Bradford
to remain at the cnmp in Augusta.
He was soon detected in selling
certificates for money, and was kept
in Jail till the close Of the war. So
much did Blaine to save the old
flag. After the war closed the men
who had been drafted claimed that
the expense they had sustained
should be refunded. Augusta gen.
erously voted to pay these men the
money they had paid for substi-
tutes, and Blaine got his bond for
5000. Some time afterward res
olution was put before the City
Council of Augusta to pay Blaine
5000, the amount he had paid for a
substitute. 1t was voted upon,
passed, and he was paid La Sale

SENATOR Palmer, of Michi-

the most elaborate dinners in WASH

pride in it. His income is large

in Detroit, another in New York
and third in Washington, and
finds satisfaction in entertaining

Extinction Of the Direct Tax.

It is gratifying to every Maryland
to know that the direct tax of the
State is being gradually extinguished.
The action of the State financial off,
GERS in calling in for redemption q
part Of the Maryland Hospital State
loan, amounting to $500, 900, is the
initiation of the policy foreshadowed
by Gov. McLane, looking to the grad
ual extinction of the direct tax Of the
State The deficiency in all the sink
ing funds as accumulated will be made
good at this time and maintained here
after. All the taxes levied for these
funds will cease as the debts are ex-
tinguished, and no direct tax will re-
main bat the ten cents known as the
school tax.
