imagine vain things?" is more than the
average "third party" man can define.

ThI CASHIER OF THE YIRsT NATIONAL
BANK A DEFAuLTER.

BANK A DEFAuLTER.
The Cashier Of the First National Bank,
Portland. Hon. VIM. E. Gould. is a default
er to the amount Of $l37 900. Saturday
evening he was placed under arrest on .
criminal process. He has turned over to
the Directors Of the bank property which be
estimates At Sl56, 900, besides an ou,stand-
ing bond Of $4,000. These asssts, ii is
believed, can be made to realize not less
than @50, 900, making the defalcation $751;
600. This deficit can in no way affect the
credit Of the bank, for il has . surplus Of
$780, 900 above all liabilities.
During the past week the Directors of the
bank made very careful examination of its
condition, and not until full understanding
Of the same was reached was the defalca-
ton made public. The examination showed
that the instruction of the funds OF the
bank had been the result Of large specula-
tioss by III. Cashier for seven years, which
have been covered over so adroitly as TO es.
cape the notice of the Bank Examiner, and
prove the detsalting Cashier to be one Of

Maine State Fair.
A SUCCESSFUL SECOND DAY.

A SUCCESSFUL SECOND DAY.
All the trains we're very heavily loaded
and the attendance at the State fair at Lew
iston was the largest ever known on the
second day. 10000 people we're on the fair
grounds Wednesday afternoon. City Mar

J. r. Bodwel and Colonel Clark S. Ed
wards dined with Treasurer Osgood Thurs
day.
The examination of stock took up all the
forenoon. Secretary Dennison gave an ex-
hibition of Walter Woods harvester that
caused much interest. The races began a,
l O'Clock to give time to complete the 2:2s
race not finished Tuesday. The weather
was superb and the fair in every way sue
cess.
THE RAIN STOPS THE SPORT AT LEWISTON.
The rain at Lewiston Thursday made it
necessary to postpone all the State fair
exercises one day.
Several thousand people visited the State
fair at Lewiston Thursday in spite of the
rain. The buildings on the grounds were
thronged. The whole programme was set
ahead one day, and the fair was continued
through Saturday. The races intended for
Thursday were trot,ed Friday. The game
of bail which was to have been played be
tween the Bates and Yarmouth clubs for a

To illustrate Several Young men came
TO Ellsworth last spring to work in
the mills during tie summer and fall.
They were young single men having
parents and homes III the towns OF Sur
~ and Orland whence they came aud
to which they will doubtless return at
the close OF the season. On the Satur-
day next preceding the election GER
tain citizens Of Ellsworth appeared at
the aldermen's room for the purpose of
having the names of those men put
on the voting lists of this city, on the
ground, as they claimed, that they had
been here since last spring, and there
fore could claim the right of franchise in
this city. 1t was not contended that
they came to remain permanently or
that it was not their intention to re-
turn to their former homes in the fall
1t was not denied that they had parents
residing in the towns from which
they came, nor that they did not regard
their parents homes as their own.
One of the aldermen denied the right
of these young men TO vote in Ellis
worth. for the reason that no evidence
had been presented showing their in
tention to make Ellsworth their home,
or that they had relinquished their resi-
dence and right to vote in the town
where their parents reside; but it was
contended in opposition that request
from any one of these young men to
have his name put onf be check list was
sufficient evidence that a residence had
been established in accordance with law,
and it was voted to put their names on
the list in accordance with their request.
Election day came, but did it bring
