4ANSION TO PRISON,
A'riva' OF Ex.Cashler Gould at Thom.
aston-he Lifts His Hat to the War.
oen and Endeavors to Bear up Bravely
Under His Punishment.

THoAAsToN, Oct. 2.
William E. Gould arrived at the prison at
li.l5 A. NJ. in the charge of United States
Marshal Harmon, and accompanied by Con-
ductor Small of the Maine Central and Mr..
Fay OF the Boston Globe, rode up through
the beautiful street of Thomaston in a close
carriage. He went at once to the warden's
once and was at once introduced to Warden
Bean by Marshal Harmon. He bowed and
politely lifted his hat to his future guardian
ior the next ten years. He will not be fully
committed until o'clock, dining elsewhere
than at the prison Gould walked in firmly
to the warden's Office and evidently made an
effort to bear up under his terrible future as
well as possible. The United States marshal
mas KIND words for Mr.. Gould and does his
duty in very gentlemanly manner.
Gould will be temporarily assigned to q
cell this afternoon. After putting on the
prison garo on Monday he will work in one
OF the shops. The one has not be selected as
yet. There will be no scene at the prison.
He will be treated the same as other con-
victs when committed, that is kindly in every
way. He will probably attend church ser
vices at the prison chapel tomorrow morning
at 80 o'clock.
The prison is noted for its cleanliness and
Gould's family and friends need have no fear
on sanitary account. The food furnished
is good and substantial. Those who live on
prison fare alone are the most healthy. Gould
has relatives and friends in Thomaston for
whom he kindly enquired of DR.. Levenseller,
the prison surgeon. Warden Bean has
looked at the warrant of commitment and
found it all right.

NATIONAL LEAGUE.

NAAioSAL LnASUbs
At elphia-Philadelph 8, St. Louis
At New York-New York 5, Detroit 6.
At Washington-W ashington 4, Chicago 5.
At Boston-Boston 9, Kansas City @
The opening of the closing week Of the
league season finds the Chicagos with clear
lead of five victories over the next highest
competitor, with the New Yorks and Bos-
tons still to meet, while their dangerous
rival. the Detroits, will have to contest with
the Washingtons and the Philadelphias. The
keenest interest will be aroused throughout
the base ball fraternity at the results of the
contests of the coming week, inasmuch as
the Chcsgos are very liable to drop one or
more games to their powerful rivals in New
York and Boston, and the Detroits, while
they may be entirely successful in WASH
ington, may get a set back in Philadelphia
The indications now are that the closing
games of the Chicagos at Boston, and the
Detroits at Philadelphia will determine the
winner of the penrant. Inasmuch q. the
Bostons and Philadelphia appear to hold the
keys to the situation, great ball playing may
be expected on next Thursday, Friday and
Saturday. In the mean time, New York
stands IN dangerous position as regards the
third place. A victory for the Philadelphia
on Monday and defeat for the New York,
will hurl the latter from the position they
now occupy by slender thread. As the
Phiadelphias play the Kansas Citys and the
New Yorks play the Chicagos. such re-
suit may be confidently expected. The situ-
tion is very exciting among the four leaders.
The following is the standing of the club.

tlement as Ever.

BATH, Oct. 2.
Three weeks have elapsed since the com.
mepcement of the labor trouble in this city
and the difficulty is practically a. far from
settlement tonight as at the start. There
was feeling among the workingmen and
citizens generally that the matter would be
adjusted today and the men to return to work
Monday. This was based on a proposition
from the directors of the New England
Building Company to the executive board of
district assembly sc, in which was the state
ment that the company would pay Sl.75 per
day to Jan. l, and from that date to March :,
Sl.5O. At a meeting of the executive board
held here Thursday the proposition of the
company was accepted, and form of agree
ment was drawn up for the directors to atfix
their signatures. OF seven members of the
board, six have signifed their willingness. to
sign the agreement, but one positively says
he will not sign, and, as he is the largest
stockholdrr of the company he has prevailed
upon other directors to act with him. There
is considerable feeling manifest tonight
among many of the business men at the
stand taken by the New England Company
On the belief that the matter was settled, 30
workmen of the New England Iron Works.
who were ordered out at the time of the cut
down, returned to work yesterday. They
will quit work again Monday. The knights
are considerably surprised at the action of
the directors, and state tonight that they will
not return to work till the agreement is
signed by every director of the New England
Ship Building Company. When that is done
225 men, who have been unemployed for
three weeks, will return to work.

In the throes of rheumatism, which has
reached the infamnatory stage, the invalid
has Just cause to deplore the inefficiency Of
medicines which could neither uproot the
disease at its outstart, nor avert its dreaded
climax. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is a
medicine which, without the dangers attending
the use of some of the ordinary specifics for
this malady, is infinitely more searching and
effective. Used at the start, it checks the
progress of the disease, and expels, or neu-
tralizes, the rheumatic virus in the blood.
Who so takes it incurs no risk, and is sure
to be benefited. Valuable in rheumatism,
it is equally effcscious as remedy for
neuralgia, liver complaint, indigestion, chills
and fever, debility. and inactivity of the
kidneys and bladder. IL may, also, be relied
upon to promote sleep and appetite.
