DefauIt of $4,000 Rail.
From our Regular Correspondent.)

From our Regular Correspondent.)
BATH, May 9th.
James Hodgdon, was arraigned before
Judge Millay this morning, and, after short
hearing, was held in $10,0 600 bail, in default of
which he was carried to Wiscasset by Mar
shall Crocker this forenoon.
Apparently his mind is beginning to dis
charge its duties and remorse is taking posses
sion as rum yields its sway. His sister, Mrs.
Brown, accompanied by her cousin, visited
him at the Jail this morning before he was ar
raigned. The scene between brother and els
ter was most affecting and it was with the
greatest difficulty he could speak.
He besought his sister in heart-broken &C
cents to save his mothers life; after short
interview he was permitted in charge of an Of
icer to visit his house where his mothers low
condition was all that prevented his seeing her,
something The begged hard to be. allowed to do
before going to Jail.
A PRESS reporter visited the afflicted family
this evening and was admitted to the sick
room by Mrs. Brown. Lying on her left side,
with haggard features, partly covered by
bandsge, was the sufferer.
Nearly all day she has been under the infu-
ence of an opiate but was then awake and in
full possession Of her faculties. He asked sever
al questions andmade one or two remarksMrs.
Hodgdon moved uneasily;occasionally as II in,
pain. Her pulse was 76, regular and full. She
has taken little nourishment.g
The patients daughter, Julia Wayland, of
East Somerville, Mass, and her sisters, Mrs.
Jordan of Charlestown, Mass, and Mrs. Edden
and son of Boothbay, arrived yesterday after
noon and are helping the snfferer for whom
all that loving hands can do is being done for
her comfort.
Mr.. Ira Hodgdon was sitting apparently al
most distracted with his dual grief. The
daughters seemed cool and capable OF giving
the best Of care to their sick parent. Young
Hodgdon spoke of the kindness of the police
officers before leaving and seemed in quite a
rational mood although still some'wh un-
nerved.
As consequence of the vigilance of the Of
foers in carrying out Mayor Wakefeld's Or
ders all the rum-shops closed their. doors at
p. m. and remain so over Sunday.
In the first reports several errors were made.

following was the order Of exercises:

MIR. sEIDERs' ADDRESS
After reference to the lives and work Of
his former classmates, the speaker announced
that his subject would be Labor and some of
its relations to success in life." 1t is not
necessary to depict the results OF refusal to
labor. Incidence in a people is always fol-
lowed by the nations downfall. The fallacy
of looking in disdain upon those who labor is
fast disappearing in civilized communities, so
that no greater praise can be given any one
than to say that he is self-made man.
System in labor ia necessary IL permanent
success is to be sought or achieved. A definite
object must be kept in view. Another thing
to be remembered is that we can't get any
thing for nothing. Hosts Of people are to-day
trying to achieve success while making no out
lay. The youth who skins over his books and
makes it point to pass his recitations is try
ing to get something for nothing.
Energy must be devoted to q chosen pursuit,
and this is abundantly illustrated in the ex-
amples of successful men everywhere.
Mr.. Seiders gave clear and pointed review
of his subject, Of which the above points may
furnish some little idea. In closing he said:
He who on the battlefield turns defeat into
victory is great general, but he who in civil
life rises above adverse circumstances; who
builds again on the ruins of his failure; who
comes out of his defeats with increased
strength and courage; and wrests success at
last from reluctant fortune 10 greater gen.
ersl Let us, then, as our motto and watch
word, have constantly before us, as though
they were painted on the vaulted heavens in
letters of gold, the words, "Faithful Labor
and Success"
At the close of the graduating exercises, o
reception of the alumni was held at Institute
/ Hall. About fifty of the alumni were present
and effected an organization. Remarks were
made by Rev. Mr.. Perry, DR.. Herbert Merrill.
aud Geo. M. Seiders, Esq. An abundant ban
quet was provided, which added to the enjoy
ment Of the evening, and those present dis
persed we'll pleased with their reunion.
