wonderful Mediums.

William II. and Marion Spencer, the self
styled wonderful mediums, are advertised TO
give one of their entertainments at Granite
Hall, Dec. Sd, (this evening". Last Sunday
evening they held one of their sesnces at
Oakland, and were pronounced by the entire
community, including the believers in
spiritual phenomena, as downright hum
bugs. Their tricks consisted of reading
the names of persons written upon
card and sealed up and placed by the
pretended medium over his own head,
which any one can do. No table rises; no
piano floats in the air; no musical instrument
rises and floats in the air in sight of any
one. Spencer, if that is his name, performs
the old tricks with the ropes, rings and hand
kerchiefs very we'll. If that was religious
Illustrated lecture" then save us from the like
again. Spiritualists and others, go if you
wish to be humbugged, or if you wish to see
very poor sleight of hand performance.

The second game of the Maine Polo League
was played at Capital rink last evening,
between the Alamedas of Bath and the Granite
Citys the former winning by score of three
to two. 1t was in every respect the hottest
game ever seen in Augusta. A large audience
gathered to witness il and entered into the
spirit of the game with much animation. At
the beginning it was evident that long
contest was at hand. The first goal was won
by the Granite Citys after an exciting struggle
of half an hour The Alamedss took the
second and third; Granite Citys, fourth and
Bath team fifth, an hour and three quarters
being occupied in all. Mark Day of the
Granite Ctys got the rush at each goal, and
Dunning secured each of the Alamedas' three
goals. There was exceptionally fine playing
by the goal tenders, numerous fine stops being
made. will Leydon of the Alsmedss did
some brilliant work. The teams consisted of
six men each, as follows; Granite Citys-
J. Patterson, Bert" Locke. Mark Day, "Mel"
Day, will Hovey and Earnest Merrill; Ala
medas--Lester Perry, Charles Lincoln, Frank
Hsggett, VIII Leydon, Holman Dunning and

natured one and cheered repeatedly. AT the
conclusion of the game, several friends of
the winning team were so carried away, that
they danced, waved their hats sloft and
shouted for joy. Referee, John Day.

Under the provisions of the statues of the
State Of Maine all corporations that have
ceased to transact business can be relieved
from making the returns required by law
upon application to the Attorney General of
Maine. Unless corporations are relieved un-
der the statutes, a penalty of five hundred
dollars attaches for neglect to file the requir-
ed returns on or before the Sth of December
In view of the action taken by some private
parties to recover penalties for noncompliance
with the laws, it will be well for corporations
and especially the treasurers thereof, to see
that the returns are made, or that the com
pany is relieved from making them.

Resolutions Of the Republicans Of skow.
hogan.


The final meeting of the Blaine ann Logan
club of Showhegan, held on the 22d inst,
was very interesting and in some respects
remarkable. An unusually large number
were present. Brief, but most excellent
remarks were made by more than score OF
members, representing all professions and
business interests in town. All regretted
exceedingly the result of the election, but
expressed their unfaltering faith in repubii.
can principle', and their great admiration
for, and their undying and unchanginR
loyalty to their gallant leader. the Hon.
James G. Blaine.
The toll owing resolutions. presented by a
committee consisting of Lewis Anderson,
Col A. w. Wildes, DR.. S. A. Patten, L. l..
Walton and L. H. Webb, Esquires, were
unanimously adopted and orderded to be
printed and copy thereof forwarded to Mr..
Blaine:
Resolved, That we. the republicans of Skowhegan
regard the defeat of Blaine and Logan as nation.
al misfortune prevented from being disastrous only
by the fact that republican supremacy is retained in
the United states Senate.
Resolved, That while acknowledging defeat we see
much in the past, present and future of the republ
party for which to feel proud, thankful and hope
full and instead Of being dishearened rejoice that
while men have changed the great principles of Jus
founded and to which ii has most steadfastly alb
hered during its magnificent career, remain.
Resolved, That our confidence in the ability and
statesmanship of gallant leader in the late pelit-
ical campagn james G. Blaine, has been If posi-.
Bile increased; we believe him 10 have been the
strongest canddat ewhom the party could have nom-
mated. That his demeanor during the trying days
of he campaign an since its close, his wisdom and
discretion have been in every way calculated TO
awaken and strengthen love and admiration.
Resolved, That the speech recently made by Hr.
Blaine at Augusta, the occasion of the serenade
rendered him by his friends contain definite, clear
and truthful statement Of the political situation OF
affairs between the North and South-that 1t il a
startling fact he then and there said worthy the
serious earnest consideration of all who love their
country, that 1.-The of affairs In the South has
crushed out the political power of more than six
million American citizens and has transferred II by
violence to others. Fory-two Presidential Electors
assigned to the South account of the colored
people and yet the coored population with than
eleven hundred thousand legal votes, have been
unable to choose a single Elector. Even in those
States where they have majority of more than a
hundred thousand they deprived OF free suffrage
and their rights as citizens, ,scornfuly rodden under
foot"
Resolved, That we hope again TO fight under the
old banner of Blaine and Logan. but whether under
that or some other. the republicans of Skowhegan
full of ife hope, faith. energy, high resolves and
BILE aspirations in the future, in the trying DAYS
of the past will stand by their coors, and battle fol
the right, until vitory shall again perch upon their
banner.

and tried before the judge. The counsel in
the case are A. L. Spear. for the plaintiff, and
II. NJ. Heath, for the defendants. In the
year 1882, the defendants leased in writing, a
certain piece of land of the plaintiff op which
to erect an ice house, for which they were to
pay $500 per year when they filed their house
with ice and 500 when the house
was occupied by ice carried over
They erected and filled house the first year,
but in August of that season it burnt, leaving
on the premises sswdust and ice, which
remained through the summer, for which the
plaintiff now claims 500 IS years rent on
ice carried over. The defendants claim that
soon after the burning of he house they gave
notice to the plaintiff that they surrendered
their lease (Which they had a right to do
under the contract) and that the ice remaining
on the premises through the season of 's3,
was not such carrying over as was con-
tsmplated by the parties. Testimony closed.

The value of imports of silk goods in
1888 was $50, 305, 23G, of which $780,
227 was during the last half Of the year
under the new tariff, against SIS, 811,1 1852
during the last half of 1882 under the
old tariff. This decrease indicates that
this branch Of manufacture has not been
seriously impeded by the change Of du-
ties, though the general condition of
markets and the demands of employees
have caused much depression. For the
year the decrease in imports compared
with 1882 was So, 328, 798.

The report of the court of inquiry in
regard to the failure of Garlington's
expedition to the Arctic regions for the
relief Of Lieut., Greedy says that Gar
lington made an error of Judgment in
not waiting longer at Pandora harbor,
but the error was committed in exercise
of difficult and unusual discretion for
which he should not be held acoounta-
BILE. IL is also due, Darlington to say
that in the general conduct Of the ex-
petition prior to the loss Of the ship he
displayed zeal, energy and efficiency in
successfully conducting the command
through the long, perilous and labori-
GUS retreat in boats to a place of safety.
As regards Gen. Hazen, the court is Of
the opinion that in many particulars,
and in some of the gravest moments
he failed in adequate comprehension oil
the necessities of the case and measures
and rations essential to meet them. The
court specifies numerous grave errors
andomissionsin his action and comments
severely on ms manner of conducting

Stanley's complete success and De
Brazza's correspondingly complete fail
ure on the Congo, should teach the So
called explorers of effete Europe to
keep out of the way of such Americans
as Henry NJ. Stanley. The man who
found Livingstone and crossed the
darkest part of the dark Continent is
chock full of genuine Yankee grit and
push, and the attempt to defeat his
plans by sending an italian adyenturer
like De Brazza to Africa with a few
French soldiers was absurd from the
beginning.

The terrible floods now devastating
the river valleys below, are attributed
in a great Measure to cutting down the
forests adjacent to the river banks.
There is no difference of opinion on
this point. Had o reasonable area OF
forests been allowed to remain all the
snow of a winter would not have been
melted by a few rainy or sunny days
and precipitated into a common reser-
voir insufficient to retain it within its
banks.

The discovery Of the skeletons OF
twenty-three men and n number OF
horses in the vicinity Of Ellendale, Oak,
has given rise to a deal of conjecture,
some Of it 50 wild, and all of it so di-
verse, that the identity of the remains
cannot yet be considered as ~satisfactor-
lily settled. An investigation has how
ever, been ordered by Gen. Terry,
which promises much and is very likely
to result in developing the facts in the
case. As o as the season Will admit
Capt. G. Z. Bennett, Seventeenth in
fantry, to whom the matter has been re-
ferred, will go to the place with a party
from Fort Sisseton, Oak, and make q
careful examination Of the remains and
the surroundings, since it is more than
probable that those who have witnessed
the spot have overlooked some impor-
tant particulars. In themeantime Capt.
Bennett is diligently prosecuting the in
gestigation IN other directions. Theap-
parent uncertainty in regard to an event
that occurred only twenty years ago
seems very strange, but it is only an
other pertinent illustration of the mag
niieent poem, THE Flood of Years.
which eloquently portrays the rayages
Of time in the burial Of men and things
beyond the knowledge Of succeeding
generations.

More than $500 bills, mostly OF a pTi-
yate nature have been introduced into
the house. Less than 200 have been
acted on by committees and reported to
The house. The fate of a vast majority
can be easily guessed. They will go to
The tomb, unwept, unhonored and un-
sung. The shame of so much bUncombe
business rests upon representatives and
their gullible constituents.
