fishing, sailed from this port December 18th,

shadow of gloom over the community.

The annual meeting of the Maine Depart

next Wednesday, and the citizens are max
ing preparations to give the boys cordial
reception. Nearly all the rooms at the hotels
have been secured.
The most important business to be tran
sacted will be the election of a successor to
Department Commander Hall. Until within
a few days there have been two candidates
for the position, Capt. S. w. Lane of Angus
ia and D. Horace Holman Of Lewiston. The
latter having withdrawn his candidacy, leaves
a clear field for Capt. Lane.
The department is in fiOuriShing csndl-

has been rapid. 1t now numbers 9l46 mem
bers. There are 146 posts in the State.
Sixteen posts have been organized during

Convictions OF Leaders Sustained by
the u. 6. Court.


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Feb. 6.-This
morning raids were made by Deputy U. S.
marshals on the residences of George Q.
Cannon of the Mormon first presidency, and
his supposed latest polygamous wife, who
had avoided the service of summons hereto
fore. and other persons were subpenaed to
appear and testify before the grand jury.
United States District Attorney Dickson
offers a reward of $500 for the capture OF
Cannon. The territorial Supreme Court has
rendered decision sustaining the. conylc-
tion of the apostle Lorenzo Snow of unlaW-
full cohabitation The court recites that on
November 1st he illegally married two
women at one ceremony and the contract
therefore was null and void. He then mar
ried successively seven others, all OF whom
he supports and holds out to the world as
his wives This is shown by the testimony,
while at the same time he dwells regularly
with Minnie, his latest polygamous wife,
who has three months old child. The
court saws this is one of the most fragrant
cases Of polygamy in the Territory, and
that no error was made in conyicting Snow:
The court also sustains the conviction of
Brigham Young Sampson Of eonspiring to
establish disreputable houses for purposes
of turning the tables on prominent Gentlles,
and says that the testimony disclosed. a
wicked and disgraceful conspiracy which
must be condemned by all.

Kennebunk VS.. Kennebunk Depot.

To the Editor Of the Press;
Kennebunk, a town of nearly 1900 inhabitants
% miles from Portland. and 50 miles from Bos-
ton, as railway station occupies an extraordin-
airy position. Being one of the thriftiest and
wealthiest villages of its size in New England
and the station where summer visitors must dls-
embark in order to reach that popular seaside re-
sort, Kennebunkport, it certainly ought not 10
occupy ttro geographical positions upon TWO lihes
of railway two miles apart. That Is; ralroao
ticket to Kennebuuk will take one to henneounk
on the Boston s. Maine line, or Kennebunk on the
Eastern line; and a stranger going to the place
fer the first time is just as likely to reach one
Kennebunk as the other. 1t seems as if the rail-
road officials ought to distinguish between the
tive places or stations, by two different tickets.
Kennebunk, proper, is upod the Boston & Maine
line while Kennebunk on the Eastern line is
known to the people of the town as Kennebunll
Depot. Tickets TO both places should not read
"Kennebunk,' but one "kennebunk," the other
"Kenncbunk Depot" The blindness with which
the town Is reached has no doubt been the source
OF much dlscomforture and considerable unneces-
sary expense to many travellers. For instance,
person enters the Eastern depot, Boston, and
buys ticket to kennebunk, but that line OF rail
carries him to Kennebunk Depot, two miles from
the village proper He must therefore hlre a
team to convey him across the country. Ii tne
tickets were printed as suggested aOOVe Ine
ticket agent in the Eastern depot Boston, Would
inform one that he had only ticket 10 henneountl

Iunnned for a Moxing Train.

Mr.. S. B. Glazier, cashier of the Augusta
National Bank, had a very narrow escape
from death or very serious injury Thursday
night. Mr.. Glazier had been at Bowdoinham
attending to his ice business there and was
about to return home. Arriving at the sta
tion in that place he found the O'Clock
train just moving from the station. Rush
ing for the baggage car he grabbed pro-
jecting iron and made leap thinking that
he would strike on the car steps. But un-
fortunately, it being baggage car, there
were no steps on the end where he was and
he was jammed between the car and the plat
form before he could recover his balance and
thrown down close to the rail, barely escap-
ing the car wheels. He lay in the ex-
cavation made by the snow plow, and, al
though partially stunned, had the pres
ence of mind to remain perfectly quiet until
the train had passed. Even then he was un-
able to move and might have remained in his
precarious condition all night, no one on the
train having seen him, had not his foreman
come over to the station to see if he had
caught the train. Mr.. Glazier was speech
less from the effects of the blow he had re-
ceived and was only able to draw the fore
mans attention by grabbing his leg as he
passed. The injured gentleman was at once
taken to a neighboring house and physi-
clan summoned. On examination it was
found that he was severely bruised about
the chest, but beyond this and severe shak-
ing up his injuries were not severe. He
hopes to be about his business soon.
