new ice Scraper which was first used on
the Kennebec river last winter, will be EN-
ployed quite extensively the present season
The old scraper or cleaner each takes two
men beside the driver to manage them, and
then the men must walk along in the slush OF
= snow. With these new tools, however, one
man is all that is necessary. This man sits
on seat and drives, and when he wishes to
empty the snow he merely moves q lever and
then he drives back at once for a new
load without any delay. 1t is es'
tmsted that a man on the new cleaner with
team can do two or three times as much
as can be done with one of the old-fa shioned
ones, with the great saving of workmen.
Our oldest citizens tell of the hanging OF
Joseph Sager. That event occurred just
nifty years ago to-day on the square between
the Court House and what was then the Jail,
abrick building afterwards changed over in
toa dwelling house and now occupied by
Mrs. Staples. The streets leading to the
square were crowded with people for
long distances to witness the hang
ing They came from every portion of
The State. A gallows was erected which was
guarded by militia. The remains were
passed over to the relatives who secretly
ourled them on Horseshoe island in Cob
oosseecontee pond. Sager was convicted OF
poisoning his wife with arsenic, in Gardiner.

The Scheme 10 Open the Metropolis
tan Hotel Nearly Developed

The rumors of the reopening of the Met
rOpolitan hotel, which have been circulate
ing with more or less frequency since the
first week after the closing of that erst-
while popular hOstelry, were heard again
yesterday on the streets. and the intima-
tions were of more definite nature than
any heretofore offered. 1t was asserted
that parties are at present in the city who
are ready to open the hotel Immediately
upon the arrangement of necessary details
and that there was every indication of
these minor affairs being perfected within
the next two days.
1t was stated that a meeting of those in
tereSted was held at the hotel yesterday and
that man from New Ulm stood ready to
assume the management Of the new enter
prise; also that another meeting will be
held this morning to further the project.
Inquiry as to the truth of these rumors
was made of Mr.. George Benz, rs one who
would be most likely TO know of any
movements looking TO a reopening. since
il Is generally known that Mr.. Benz is in
tereSted in the affairs OF the Metropolitan,
and has taken leading part in all the
movements heretofore toward opening the
hotel doors for business.
Il do not feel at liberty said Mr.. Benz.

COAL CONSUMERS,

The North Star Coal company have re-
Gently established their agency here for the

tunity to buy this celebrated coal under
the most advantageous terms and prices.

against the Cross Greek Lehigh, it has too
long taken the lead in all the Eastern mar

tain dealers in st. Paul have made super
human efforts to get the control and agency
OF the Cross Greek Lehigh and are now the
ones 10 say the most against it. This coal
is mined from the heart of the Lehigh re-
gion from land belonging to Coke Bros, and
no expense or trouble is spared by them in
its preparation. 1t is entirely free from
clinkers and is remarkable for its great
purity. The North Star company with Coke
Bros. Cross Creek Lehigh have come to
our city to stay and we hope that cOnsum-
erS will give the Lehigh a trial that they
may substantiate all that has been said in
its favor. The North Star company have

SHIPMENTS TO TACOMA.
Although Not n Port of Entry, They
Are Not Illegal.

6AS wv
There has been great deal of speculation
as to the legality of the shipments OF tea
over the Northern Pacific railroad. the
claim being put forth that these shipments
are in violation of the internal revenue
laws, which in one sense is fact. Speak
ing of this matter, Mr.. Richards of the Gus
tom house said: Tacoma. from whence
the consignments of tea come BY rail, was
not In existence at the time that the law was
passed which designated the ports of entry.
But this is obviated by an order of the sec
rotary of the treasury allowing these goods
TO be received and transferred as bonded
goods. To the revenue officials this order
stands as the law until the courts determine
as to the legality of the secretarys action.
Goods shipped as bonded freight are mani
Tested as such with the destination on the
way bill. AT the port of entry these goods
are received by customs officers and by them
checked into cars, the car doors locked with
government locks and a government seal
also placed upon the haSp and lock. and the
ears forwarded to the point of
tinatiOn the seals and locks
are removed by revenue officers and the
goods examined by them. Thus the goods
in hand are virtually in the hands of the
government officials all the time until their
delivery TO the consignee. The vessel
which brought the tea from abroad was n
sailing boat, and could not get up to Port
land for some reason, that city being deSig-
mated as port under which these shipments
are said to be illegal. AS the order of Sec
rotary Manning is law until the courts can
pass upon the matter, it is altogether likely
that these shipments will continue. in spite
of the assertions of their illegality."
