The State iihrarx-

The State Librarian, Mr. j. S. Hobbs is
required by law to make his reports to the
Legislature; when the change from annual
to biennial sessions was made he was requir-
ed to make report only biennially His
last report which was for 1884, was made to
the legislature of 1885. His next report will
be made to the Legislature of 1887. Some
facts in relation to the library for the
year 1885 may be of interest to the public.
With the State library, as with the several
departments Of the State government, one
year is about the same as another About
the same amount is appropriated each year
for the purchase Of books. The appropria-
tiOn for 1885 was $1,000. The exchanges with
the States of the Union and with the gener-
al government have been conducted the same
as in previous years Every State IS repre-
sented i'll the library. Canada ana the froV-
ince of Quebec exchange with us. Aside
from books received by exchange and by do
nations to the library, there have been added
by purchase PIG volumes of law books and
about 15O volumes of miscellaneous books
Of law books added 110 volumes are English
law reports. These new additions are very
ornamental, and useful to judges, lawyers
and to the State reporter in verifying his
copies of reports of Supreme Judicial
Courts. There has just been received in four
large volumes the record of the famous star
route trials at the second trial.

from this city to the scenes of riotous dis
turbance in the lake region. The police
were sent in response to q telegram from
Col Freeck of the Moorewood and Standard
coke works, asking for aid. Gov. Pattison

In the Connellsville district, 766 ovens are

SACCARAPPA.
HaskeII's SIX Company.

Among the numerous manufacturing establish
ments which furnish continuous and remuneratlye
employment to the men and women of Saccarappa
and Cumberland Mills, the Haskell silk Works
occupies prominent position.
1t is the only mill in the State where silk goods
of any description are manufactured and there
are but three others in New England where the
same class OF goods are produced. The company
was organized in 1874. AT that time they oc-
feet on the Presumpscot river. Since that time
they have enlarged the quarters and increased
their facilies for doing business. To-day they are
crowded for lack OF accommodations on three
floors of building 20 by 80 feet
AT their first starting they produced only
machine twist and sewing silks. During the past
three years they have manufactured dress silk.
The company now employ one hundred and fifty
mostly females. The stock is imported from
japan in skeinS, put up in bales of 130 pounds
each. The silk is first wound on bObbinS then
spun, doubled and twisted, then again reeled into
and dried, it Is again wound warped and made
ready for the looms, where it is woven into beauti
full patterns of dress goods The company do
what few other silk goods manufacturers accom-
of converting the raw silk into finished goods.
Until within a few weeks they have been pro-
ducing upwards of $4,000 yards of black silk
goods per month";
At the present time they are working principally
on fancy goods for the spring trade. They find
ready market for their productions in the New
England, Middle and Western States.
The large number of orders daily received give
business. The average monthly pay roll for mill
operatives amounts to $4,000. This does not in
clude the expenses of statesmen on the road. The
company is composed of enterprising young men
their business and have successfully managed
the same from the start.

Bills introduced in the Senate.

Bills introduced in the Senate.
Following are among the bills introduced
in or reported to the Senate today:
By Senator Pike, authorizing the retirement OF
Lieutenant A. w. Greeley, with the rank and pay
of Colonel.
Senator Sewen from the committee on military
affairs reported favoraby bill providing for the
promotion and commission as second lieutenants
in the army of graduates of the United States
military academy, upon their graduation.
The Fisheries.
The House committee on foreign affairs to-
informally discussed that part of the PresI-
dents message relative to the fisheries. Mr..
Rice said he spoke for the people of New
England, who had desire that the matter
should receive early consideration, and that
they were well contented with the present
state of affairs. The general sentiment OF
the committee appeared to be adverse to con-
sideration of the fisheries alone, but rather
in favor of so broadening the subject as to
include a careful inquiry into the existing
relations between this country and Canada.
Caucus of Democratic Senators.
The Democratic Senators held a two hours
caucus this afternoon to compare views with
regard to the anticipated issue between the
Senate and the administration over the mat
ter of information about removals. Sena-
tors Harris, Maxey and Vest committee
appointed last week by Mr.. Beck, chairman
of the caucus to consult with the President
made their report, stating the views of
members of the administration, but outlining
no definite policy or plan of action. lndivid-
ual Senators expressed their opinion at
length, but no motion was made and nothing
occurred to indicate in any way the opinion
of the majority. The suggestion was made
that the subject be further discussed after
the Republican position had been more
clearly developed, and the caucus adjourned
subject to the call of the chairman, with the
understanding, however, that it should be
called very soon, possibly tomorrow,
inspection Stations Discontinued.
The Maine hospital bureau has issued in
Structions to discontinue all inspection sta-
tions on the Canadian border west of Rich
ford Vt and including that city on the 25th
