VOTE FOR JOHN Il. FoGG.


NJ kAs Cs a. R0ys EXCMre10us
On Saturday afternoon at the invitation of
Messrs. Aver, Houston & Co., two hundred
and twenty-five boys of the boys' department
OF the Portland Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, visited the extensive wool hat factory
OF their firm, situated at the junction of Beach
and CLARK streets. The boys formed in line in
the Association hall, three abreast and headed
by drummers from their own number marched
up Congress, down State and through Clark
streets to the factory. They returned through
Commercial, Exchange and Middle streets.
AT the factory they were met by Mr.. Phneas
Aver, the senior partner of the firm, who with
the assistance of Mr.. j. W. Stevenson, book
keeper, conducted them through the various
departments to their great delight.
word or two about this industry may be of
interest to our readers. 1t was established in
this city on the 9Th day of February, 1876;
the first OF the kind in the State. Unlike their
predecessors, in the building which this firm
occupies the business has been successful.
Commencing with four sets of cards and a ca
pacity for about seventy-fve dozen per day,
the firm has now eight sets of cards and ca
pacity for about one hundred and fifty dozen
per day, although in the present depressed
state OF business that amount has not been
realized Still last month Aver, Houston &
Co., sold hats enough to cover almost three
fourths of sll the heads in Portland. At the
present time the factory give: employment to
about 70 persons, with an average pay roll Of
over two thousand dollars per month. In the
manufacture of the yearly output there is con-
sumed about one hundred thousand pounds of
wool in cleansed condition, and considera-
BILE quantity of bands. hat feathers, and satin
for Innings. The production is distributed to
all the leading centres OF trade from Toronto
and Montreal in Canada, to San Francisco,
CAL
The boys were accompanied by Mr.. A. B.
Merrill of the board of management and Mr..
Winter, general secretary of the association.
The Boys Literary Society served as an es-
cort. On next Saturday afternoon the boys
will visit the Portland Stone Ware Company's
Works, Deering Point.

DEERING AS A TEMPERANCE
MAN.
How He w anted the Liquor Law
Enforced.
Warrants Must be Served in ssMost
Gentlemanly Manner"

On the first of August, 1881, when John W.
Deering was a member of the Board of Alder
men he introduced the following order and
urged its passage. We commend it to the
attention of Prohibitionists:
ResolUed, That this board of Mayor and AL
dermen, while upholding our marshals and
police in the execution of our laws, learn with
extreme regret the fact Of the execution Of the
Maine Law on the Sabbath by seizures made
by warrants, issued on week days, thus
desecrating the Sabbath day; and they also
learn with extreme displeasure of the smash
ing OF doors and other furniture in our hotels
in the executing of such warrants by our
marshals and police. And it ia further
ResolUed, Such proceedings are unwarranted
and deserving of censure; and we would further
suggest to our msrshals and police in the ex-
ecotion of our laws the utmost GOODNESS and
frmness is expected on the part of this govern.
ment and the warrants should be executed in
the most geDtlemanly manner; calling upon
the occupants; stating their business; and If
requested reading these warrants in an un-
misuakable manner; requiring doors to be un-
locked and the persons in charge show then
the premises. There would then be no cause
of complaint on the part of the person whose
premises is searched and no cause for censure
on our part of the conduct OF our marshals and
police In the execution of their duty.

Municipal Gourt.
BEFORE JUDGE GOULD

bEfOHE JUDGE GOULD.
SATURDAY,-The trial of the liuuor nuisance
was continued In the Municipal Court, this morn
Ing. occupying the entire attention of the court,
with the exception of the arraignment of man for
drunkenness.
The judge announced, in the case of John Murray
charged with maintaining liquor nuisance, that
he found probable against the respondent and
ordered him to recognize in of $500 for his ap-
pearance before the grand jury at the next term Of
the Superior court. Murray gave bail
The nuisance case of George Warren was then
called, Messrs. Rand and Lunt appearing for the
defence and Assistant County Attorney Libby for
the government. Mr.. Rand called attention to the
informaity of the complaint. He said that the
date was SO egible that it could not be deciphered
The warrant also appeared to have been sworn out
In the year of Lord 1856, 100 years ago. Judge
Gould then dismissed the complaint on the ground
of informality.
Mr.. MuDson Immediately stepped forward to the
RECORDERS desk and calling for another blank be-
gan to I'LL out second complaint against Warren
The next case called was the complaint for
nuisance against Chas. Ii. Girard. Messrs Rand
and Lunt appeared for Girard. Officers Croweli
Black, Gribbin and Sterling who had made seizures
at Girards place were sworn and gave their testi-
mony. After the four officers had been examined
the counsel for the defence claimed that not par
Girsrd with the place where the seizures had been
made, and suggested that the complainant in the
case, hef. MI. Munson, De put on the stand.
Upon this Mr.. Munson suggested that the Judge
be questioned in regard to the case.
This observation by Mr.. Munson caused quite a
sensation in court. Judge Gould spoke deliberately
as follows:
The recorder will enter on the records of this
court that Henry c. Munson is fined five dollars tor
contempt OF court and in default of payment to be
imprisoned in the county jail until furthe er order of
court. Mr.. Munson is in charge of the officer.
Rev. Mr.. LeLacheur, who was present in the
court room, stepped to Mr.. Munson's side and
whispered In his ear. Mr.. Munson then arose to
make an explanation. He said that the attorney
for the respondent had called on him to be sworn
and that the remark he had made was provoked by
this. He supposed he had right to use the Ian
Ruage he did and said that he meant no disrespect
70 the court. A friend (Rev. Mr.. LeLacheur) had
offered to pay his fine. He wished the court to un-
derstand he repeated that he did not intend to dis
play any discourtesy.
Judge Gould said that on Mr.. Munsons sxplana-
ton and apology he would remit the fine and dis
charge him from the custody Of the officer.
The case of Girard was then resumed The coun-
sci for Girard moved that he be dismissed for lack
Of any evidence against him. Assistant County
Attorney Libby admitted that no evidence against
Girard had been produced and said that he also
should move for a dismissal of the case Judge
Gould then ordered Girard to be discharged.
