Gratis for the purpose of cheating patrons.
The amendment to increase the appropria-
tion to 100000 simply meant increase of pat

Man at HarpswelI Stirring up a
Sensation, but No Money.

a neighboring town, who is spending few
weeks at Harpswell, is creating sensation
by digging for gold, which, as he alleges, is
buried in this vicinity. He claims that the
spirits have revealed the secret to him, and
he has made several excavations in the pas
lures and fields, seeking for his hidden treas
ure. No gold as yet has been found and his
only reward is the comments of the lockers
on, who take no stock in his gold revelations
from the spirit land.

BANGOR. June 29-The troops began busi-

passed in regular routine camp duties. Com

to report at the grounds tomorrow, where
everything has been put in readiness for
their accommodation. The sky is overcast,
but the weather is pleasant.
Brig. Gen. John Marshall Brown and stair
and Adjutant General S. j. Gallagher have
been on the ground actively engaged IN over
seeing all the details of the arrangements,
and if anything has escaped their keen over
sight it is not apparent. Gen. Brown adds to
his ardent love of the military, thorough
and complete knowledge of its details, gained
not alone from militia service, but from ser
vice at the front, and, like true soldier, he
feels that his place is among his men, tent
ing on the old camp-ground," and not bask-
ing in the elegant ease of hotel bed. The
General is ably assisted by his competent
and genial Assistant Adjutant General,
Major Henry NJ. Sprague, who has been I'M

whose experience is invaluable.

with much credit. Competition for rifle

BATH, June 29.-One of the latest moves
of the Democratic administration is the ap-
pointment of Edward w. Larrabee as United
States Shipping Commissioner of the port of
Bath. The appointment has been made
within few days. 1t is expected that Mr.
Larrabee will enter upon the duties of the
office the first part of next month. The
present incumbent, Mr. Eugene 0. Smith,
has held the office nearly nine years, having
been appointed Dec. q, 1877, and reappoint-
ed under the provisions of the Dingle5 bill
in 1884. His successor, Mr. harrabee, he's
been a lifelong Democrat. He is gentle
man of ability, whose large experience in
marine matters well fits him for the position
to which he is appointed The salary is
$1,000, if the receipts reach that amount; the
overplus, if any, to be divided between the
commissioner and the government.
