Everything seems to show that the
morning train from Augusta east is sure to
come. Its value to the people Of central
and eastern Maine is apparent to all, and
the people all along the line are enthusi-
astically in favor of it. The last issue of
the Piscataquis Observer voices the senti-
ment Of a large portion of the State on
this subject. 1t says;
The Piscataquis people are naturally
much interested in this train matter. The
connection would be such that those CON-
ing here on the morning train from Nea-
port Junction would reach Foxcroft in
season for connection with the up train
on the Bangor & Piscstaquis. This would
be great convenience to many people.
and would not fail to devel, p an import
ant additional passenger traffic both
on the Maine Central and B. & p. line

faith In the railroad wisdom of the Maine

that whatever Is for the best, all things
considered. will be done. IL there i, \

The Bourbons OF Delaware have adopt
ed unique method OF DISTINGUISHING
Republican voters. Under the law of
that State no man can vute who has not
paid poll tax. As n result the assessors
and collectors, all of whom are Demo-
Gratis, are ueglecting as far as possible to
assess poll tax upon Republicans, aud
avoid in every possible wsv the collec-
ton Of this tax from members OF that
party. SO dagrant has this rascality be
come that the Republicans of the State
have asked the court to issue manda-
mus to compel the tax collector to receive
taxes and to remain in his office for a
reasonable time for that purpose. Al
though the court is Democratic il is
hoped that there will be sense of justice
enough in it to cause this reasonable and
Just request to be granted. This attempt
to perpetrate such n high-bsnded crime
against the rights of the voters of Della
ware shows that the Democrats Of that
State are convinced in their own minds
that they cannot win in n fair open fight

"LEANDER is DEAD"
Gellerup Deceased as an Actor,
but Alive Seeking Revenge.

Gellerup Deceased as an Actor,
but Alive Seeking Revenge.
"Leander is dead! Leander is deadw
This wild cry went up from as many
as five or six pairs of lips when the
owners of the lips aforesaid gathered in
front of the Hennepin avenue theater
last evening. and found it locked and
the lights out. No; "The Leader"
Fritz Gellerup's great sOcialistic play,
was not presented last night, for the
reason that G. N. Hunt, manager OF the
theater, refused to open the doors.
The first presentation was not
calculated to raise the spirits OF any
one, and when the receipts OF the even
ing proved to be but $22.70, it was not
considered advisable to let the alleged
play be put on second time. 1t was a
friends that the play was not success.
but it is safe to say that the members OF
the company" who, in some cases.
left good situations to become factors"
are possibly trifle more disappointed.
Fritz, in the bitterness OF his heart, de-
clared yesterday morning that the pa
pers, particularly the GLOBE, had
Jumped on him too hard, and that it was
due to their unkind thruStS that he was
''in the SOUP"
About 80 last evening young Geller-
up came rushing into the GLOBE office,
followed by almost his entire ''com-
pany" After dancing around for few
moments, he announced in voice not
unlike that of the officer who announced
that "Leauder is dead" that he was go
ing to sue c. n. Hunt for $1,000 damages
for breach OF contract in not opening
the theatre for his use last evening.
Fritz said he had gone there with his
company and had found the place dark
and the doors locked. He claimed that
Mr.. Hunt had 10 right to lock
him out and SAID he proposed to
hire the best lawyers in the city and
begin suit at once. When asked if he
could have paid the rent in the house it
he had been allowed to enter, he hest
tated and then said that he thought that
he could have got some one to put up
the necessary 500. While the result Of
Gellerup's attempting to become play
writer aid an actor has been disast-
erous to him, it has been a good thing
for the general public, unless it has a
tendency to make ''the LEADER as he
styles himself, more radical and cranky
than before.

The council was as much at loss as
the committee and referred it back to
the committee. Later the committee
re re ..'aded that the bill be allowed
and a warrant was ordered drawn. s
Aid. Sterling thought the council
should express disapproval of the new
of park commissioners, and his reSolu-
ton to that effect was referred to the
council committee on legislation.
The petition to allow speeding on
Park avenue. from Tenth to Twenty
eighth streets, from to z p. m. on
week days until March 18th, was con-
sidered. Several members favored it,
but Aid. Downs told the council Of the
danger to school children who cross in
large numbers at Twenty-fourth street.
and argued that most of the residents
along the avenue would object, and
motion to grant the prayer of the petit
TONERS was lost.
The matter of salary and fees for the
city clerk came up, but on motion was
deferred until the special meeting,
which is to be held Monday afternoon,
to consider legislative matters.
The Brush Electric Light company
requested the passage Of an ordinance
permitting it to lay electric subways..
and the matter was added to the load
under which the committee on under
ground wires is now struggling.
The scavenger and employment office
ordinances recently drawn were given
their first reading and referred back for
correction, revision, etc.
On motion of Aid. Potter the matter
of nominating plumbing inspector,
and sanitary engineer be placed in the
hands of the committee on health and
hospitals.
