DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
Two Matters Not Hitherto Reported.

The proceedings of the Democratic State
Committee at their recent meeting are
gradually leaking out. The accounts of
Capt. Chase for expenditures during the last
campaign were submitted and Major
Hastings was appointed to audit them, and
reconcile if possible the discrepancy between
the statements of Col Cromwell and Capt.
Chase relative to the receipts and eXpendi-
lures
Another little matter created some feeling.
Mr.. Kimball Eastman, it is reported, desired
to become postmaster at Cumberland Mills.
He was appointed through the influence of
Judge Redman before Chairman Brown got
round to him. Mr.. Eastman waited for the
papers, but he waited in vain. Finally it
appeared his appointment was suspended
because Tabulator Chase-whO has gone out
of politics and is now civil service reform
man-and Judge Cleaves had decided on
another man who was more favorable to
Judge Cleaves for Collector than Mr. East
man. Mr.. Eastman has done excellent work
for the party and he naturally feelsaggrieved
in this matter.
A strange thing about the recent meeting
of this committee is the statement made by
one of the members that no such resolution
was passed as was printed in the Democratic
as well as the Republican papers, to the
effect that in future the chairman, Mr.
Brown, should urge for appointment to office
candidates recommended by the several
county members of the committee Further
more, he says not a word in regard to such a
resolution was brou0ht mn

A large audience gathered at this resort
yesterday afternoon and evening, and were
well repaid for SO doing. The banjo player
is Mr.. Ed Armand, instead of Joe Hart, and
the mistake of names will not be wondered
at by those who have listened to his excel
lent playing, for Hart could do no better.

The seventh-Day Adventists.

The Seventh-Day Adventists are increas-
ing rapidly in numbers year by year, and be-
coming well known in this State. The OBJ
servance of the Seyenth-Day makes them
peculiar, but does not cause people to regard
them with any the less favor for conscien-
tious scruples are generally respected by
the better classes of society
AS people, Seventh-Day Adventists are
devoted and earnest. They believe that the
standard of righteousness has been lowered
in the earth and that there must be a retutrn-
ing to the paths of apostolic holiness before
the second advent of Christ Straight
preaching is characteristic of their clergy.
What appears to them to be true they preach
and ''ronnd no corners
The subjects of Health and Temperance
are given much attention, as is also Educa-
ton. This fact wins for them many friends,
who wish them well, and are glad to clasp
hands on common ground.

At the yearly State camp meetings, live
topics are discussed and many themes of in

encourage the churches, to lay plans for fll-
ture labor and to give the people at large an
idea of what Seventh-Day Adyentists believe
to be present truth due this generation.
The campmeeting to be held on Munjoy
Hill promises to be largely attended.
A mammoth tent from Massachusetts has

i-lo-2eth Regiment Reunion.

The above association, with their ladies, to
the number of $50. took the steamer Gordon
for Long Island yesterday morning Among
those present outside of the association, we
noticed Col. A. K. Buffum of the Boston
Herald Giles 0. Bailey of the Sunday Times,
| and Major Shorey of the Bridgton News. On
arrival at Reunion Hall, there was nice
lunch or breakfast, consisting of coffee,
crackers and boiled CLANS, all ready for the
hungry guests, after which the business
meeting was held in the grove, president A.
L. Turner in the chair. The following Off

going all become members of the Sheridan
Association, ladies as well as gentlemen
The price of tickets will include everything.
After the meeting, at Up H., dinner was
served in Reunion Hall, consisting of fish
and clam chowder, baked beans, Coffee etc.
A word will not be out of place for the wor-
thy janitor of the building, James Fl. Clark,
who lives on the island. Although not max
ing any pretensions as a caterer, it would be
well Tor some of the well known cooks to
get his recipe for making chowders The
proof of the pudding was in the eating of it,
and judging from the way the chowder dis
appeared it must have been excellent. Speak
ing for ourself we can say it was very nice.
Those having to return early took the 415
boat. Those remaining witnessed one of the
hardest showers we have had this season.

Curious Phenomenon.

Residents at Peaks Island noticed a curl
GUS phenomenon during the firing of the
eleven inch guns at Fort Gorges on the morn
ing of the Grant funeral. The water was
perfectly calm when the firing began, but
gradually roughened over the whole space
mile and half As gun after gun was fired
from the seward side of the fort the reports
echoed among the islands and reverberated
along the sky like prolonged peals of thun-
der. At length, series of heavy waves was
developed, which broke in surf upon the
shore Of Peaks Island. The earth of the
island Jared perceptibly. Probably this
steadily recurring jar reused the waters, Civ
ing the effect of strong wind.

rhe ST.. Lawrence River coIIision.

The accident which happened to the steam
ers Sandman, Capt. Smith, Of the Allan line,
and Dracona, en- their way down the St.
Lawrence, was caused, it is claimed, by the
steamer Sarnia, Of the Dominion line, also
outward bound. She kept in front of the
Sandman and impeded her progress In an
effort to get past her, the Sandman got too
close to the Draconia, whose anchor crashed
through the side of one of the Sardinian's
staterooms, making hole big enough for a
man to get through easily. The anchor hung
securely hooked in the side of the vessel, and
the other end of the anchor punched a big
hole in the side of the Draconia. But both
openings were high above the water Both
vessels continued on their courses

Forged Checks.

The First National Bank received two bo-

Canal Bank received one for like amount,
all purporting to be signed by Rev. Canon
Charles Morton Sil1s, of st. Luke's Cathe-
dral in this city. They were cashed at differ
ent banks in central New York. OF course
the Portland banks will lose nothing by the
transaction. One check was made payable
to Robert Grahame, and the others to Thorn
as Sills. The forger is described as a man
with one eye. His victims appear to be
Episcopal clergymen, and he has probably
passed himself off as a member of that
church. Rev. Canon Stills has been in Eu-

The Complimentary Hop at Rridgton.


The Argus of yesterday contains an item
concerning the hop at Bridgton last Monday
night, and gives the credit to Hon. C. E.
Gibbs.
We have no desire to detract from the
many acts of courtesy which Mr. Gibbs has
shown to the summer visitors, but the idea
of giving to single individual the credit
which belongs to the citizens generally, is a
little too bold.
OF course the correspondent of the Argus
was misinformed, for as a matter Of fact the
funds raised to defray expenses were obtain
ed by subscription, and Mr. G. was only
one of the many.
