In answer to a question, Mr.. Anzo

physicians who had been curious to
know what he was made of, and how he
was put together.

elected w. O'Brien manager for the coming
season. twas voted that all matters per-
aiming to the nine be first given to the pub
lie through the columns of the kennebec
Journal 1t was also voted that any play
err who should make use of profane or I'M
becoming language should be fined 49, and
be subject to expulsion from the nine.
The directors are fully determined that all
games shall be conducted in gentlemanly
manner The sentiment of the directors
seemed to be strongly in favor of admitting
ladies' to the grounds free of charge, and this
will probably be formally voted before the
season opens. The subject of uniforms was
discussed and c. b. Burleigh appointed to
act with the manager in procuring them. The
question of players was talked over at some
length.
The season will probably open about the
middle of June. The outlook for a first
class nine is excellent and we predict that
some of our very best citizens will find the
ball field popular place of resort this sea

concerning that portion of the address which
referred to the gallant Navy.
ut was brief but to the point. In the re-
port of the "Kennebec Journal" of today, IN
abstract, it Omits any such reference. As l
served under the gallant Farragut it seems to
me that such tributes of respect as were paid to
n'm and others who in the Navy during the re-
oeillon should be noticed in the paper"

making an abstract some salient point is
liable to be overlooked. But whatever OF
tribute was paid to patriotism, it could but re-

SOMETHING CROOKED!
4 Pullman Passenger Arrested BY Detect
iTe True and Bangor Omesf.
Liberated from Jail on q Witt of Habeas
Corpus, but Closely Watched.

Sunday evening, between ten and eleven
O'CLOCK, the police of this city were requested
by Bangor official to notify Detective True
OF Hallowell, that crook by the name Of
Sang Campbell wanted by Inspector
byrnes of New York, was on the eleven
o'clock Pullman, and that he, True, was
wanted to assist in ehecting the arrest. It
seems that upon receiving word from Byrnes
the Bangor officer spotted Campbell"
followed him aboard the train and
came on with him. The Bangor Off
Ger kept close watch and to prevent being
recognized changed his clothes twice. He
at last made up his mind that he had his eye
on the right man, and at Waterville he sent
the telegram to the Augusta officers, instead
OF directly to True, there being no telegraph
Office open at night in Hallowell. Officer
Breen secured a man and team to carry the
message to True, who lives at considerable
distance from the Hallowell depot. As the
team was leaving Augusta, the ii O'Clock
Pullman pulled into the station. The horse
in time to board the train at Hallowell True
and the Bangor officer arrested the man and
took him from the train at Gardiner, and
from there he was taken to this city on the 2
A. NJ. train yesterday morning and
lodged in Jail. He had on his
person quite large sum of
of money, some $500 in Canadian bills alone.
This large sum Of money also helped to coll
vince the officers that they had the right
party, he being wanted for robbery. Mon
day morning, Campbell" engaged II. M.
Heath Esq, for counsel, and application for
wait Of habeas corpus, was made to Judge
WhitehOuse, who granted it. The Bangor
officer went on to Portland where he hoped
to secure evidence to hold the prisoner for
the New York inspector. Somehow the
Bangor officer changed his tactics he finding
some difficulties, and last evening consulta-
ton was held, at which Detective True,
Sheriff McFadden, Lawyer Heath and Judge
WhitehOuse were present. Shortly after the
prisoner was liberated and came down to
Hotel North, where he remained in consulta-
ton with his counsel till late hour, watched
however by the officers. The prisoner may,
or may not be a criminal. That is not set
tied yet, but he does resemble noted crook
whose real name is John Z. Montgomery,
alias Albert Williams, etc.
He is sandy complexioned, it. 10 inches
high, light eyes and moustache, weight about
ITO pounds. The city officers were very ret
icent on the matter of the arrest and it was
with difficulty that the Journal reporter
could obtain many particulars. 1t may be
that some error has been committed in max
ing the arrest.
According to the latest advices
there will arrive on the afternoon
train today an officer from New York who
will identify "Cambell" if he is the party
wanted.
