Clubs Of BIddeford Men Who Have
Sold Their Votes.

BDDEFoRD, March 1s.-Upon several oc-
casions Rev. Father Dupont has remonstrat-
ed earnestly with such members Of his par
ish as belonged to any of the clubs which
have been formed in the city within the
past year, where the members assemble for
no other purpose than to drink beer and
play cards.
A few Sundays ago he stated that a club
OF French girls had been formed In this city
who called themselves "Grasshoppers," and
lamented the fact that any of the women
Of his congregation had reached such a de-
graded condition as to allow them to form
form such an organization. Yesterday he
told his congregation that he had learned
Of still another organization which was still
worse than any of the others, and which, If
properly named, should be called the "calf
club" He said that he had been informed
that upon the last election day, 81 French
voters had banded themselves together for
the purpose Of selling their votes to the
highest bidder, and that they had finally
sold themselves. Another club Of II did the
same thing, but as calves were cheap this
spring, none of them brought very high
prices. He then gave his parish such a
tongue lashing upon the subject Of vote SELL
ing as will not soon be forgatten by those
to whom 1t was addressed.

THE BOSTON AND MAINE.
A Respondent In a Case Before the
Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-Beside the
Squire case, the Interstate Commerce Com
mission has before it several other matters
OF close interest to large shippers. The case
of the Independent Refners' Association of
Titusville, Pa, and the Independent Re-
iners' Association Of Oil City, Pa, VS.. the
Western New York & Pennsylvania, the
ware Hudson Canal Company, 1.-THE Fitch
burg and the Boston & Maine, Is also still at
issue. Complainants allege that they are asso-
Citations composed of about 16 distinct petro-
leum refining companies, organized for the
purpose, among other things, of obtaining
from transportation companies just rates of
freight upon refined petroleum and products
OF petroleum manufactured and sold by the
members of said associations, and that the
past years total shipments by members Of
said associations, who manufacture and sell
in competition with themselves as well as
with other persons, firms and corporations
engaged in the same business, was about
100000 barrels, and the aggregate daily
capacity of the works owned by members of
said associations about $500 barrels of crude
ps troleum per day.
Zone of the charges is that the schedule of
joint through charges, now in force, for the
transportation of barrels in car load lots to
Boston and other points in New England on
the Fitchburg and the Boston 81 Maine,
called Boston points. by which respondents
receive % cents per 100 pounds, making the
rate per barrel 81, are excessive, unjust and
unreasonable
The Boston and Maine, by Richard Olney.
its attorney, denies that it has any contract
or traffic agreement, express or implied, with
other respondents, whereby 1t forms con-
| tinuous through route for the transportation
of petroleum products from the oil refneries
to the points named in the petition; denies
| that carloads of oil are billed through over
| its railroad from Titusville and Oil City at
| through joint rates of freight in which IL par

tober %, 1888, given by the Western New
York aud Pennsylvania railroad, by which it
was announced that the Boston rate of %
| cents per 100 barrels to points on the Boston
u Maine would be abrogated, was given
without the knowledge of this respondent or
any of its officers; and that since said notice
took effect through rates have been estab-
lished and published only to junction
points of the line of this respondent with a
through line made up of the other respond
ents; and that since said notice took effect
this respondent has been unable to partici-
pate in joint through rates to Boston points,
but has necessarily made and established
rates of its own from said junction" points
already referred to.

A sPASM OF ECONOMY.
Fairfield In an uproar over High Sal
aries-othsr Topics.
Especial TO the Press.

FAIRFIELD, March 1S.-The report is cur
rent that one of our citizens has lately drawn
$4,000 in the Louisiana lottery II that
prove true, goodbye to twenty more which
will go out of circulation here at once, with
the hope of drawing another prize. Some
how this lottery business is very much like
real estate investments in the West. Once
In while prize is drawn, but the great
maj prity gather in their blanks year after
year, and still go on hoping for better sue
cess.
Fairfield is one of the towns which Topped
at its March meeting and came out strong
for economy. The wealthy men, who do not
pay full taxes, and the farmers, who are
overburdened cut down the school appropri-
ations without stopping to think that the
scholars would be the sufferers. There was
some excuse for bitter feeling, as the cost of
experimenting the schools has overrun $500
yearly for some little time. The village.
where there are more than 80 per cent of t6e
scholars, Is just now in an uproar because
the salaries have been reduced. The high
school suffers most. The principal Mr..
Charles W. Tilden, has held the position five
all, and sending out scholars we'll fitted In
all the branches. For this he has received
$500 year. The new arrangement cuts him
down 20 to % per cent, and no wonder there
is feeling Hired by the year, his time Is
taken so that he cannot engage in other busi-
ness, but the wise ones have been figuring
out an enormous salary by dropping out all
time or labor outside of school hours. These
breaks always injure the work of education,
and are to be regretted. In the interests OF
economy expensive steps are sometimes
taken.
Mrs. Cyrus Bryant, while stepping from
her carriage Saturday, had the misfortune to

IN THE SENATE.
Our Relation With Our NeIghbors a
Topic for Discussion.

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The third week
Of the called executive session opened this
morning with the Vice President in the
chair Resolutions were offered and referred
authorizing thecommittees on woman suffrage
and addition to the library to sit during the
recess. A resolution for the appointment Of
select committee ON relations with Mexico
and Central America was taken up and dis
cussed. The resolution was referred to the
committee on commerce and the Senate pro-
ceeded TO executive business. When the
doors were reopened, the Senate continued
to consider the resolution for select COM
mittee on the relations with Cuba and other
West India Islands. Discussion turned on
the question OF the competency of the Senate
when sitting in a called executive session,
to enter upon the Performance of legislative
functions. The discussion was participated
ip by Senators Sherman, Blackburn, Gray,
Call, Platt, George and SpooneT. The latter
favored the idea of leaving the whole matter
Of our relations with Canada, Cuba and the
South American States In the hands of the
Executive. He thought the appointment of
| such select committees would be q hind
rance, obstruction and detriment. The
| Executive Department would not have to
hunt testimony with brass band"
Without disposing Of the question, the
pending motion being to refer the resolution
to the committee on foreign relations, the
! Senate again proceeded to the consideration
Of executive business and at ESQ adjourned.

PORTLAND'S SOLDIERS AND SAILORS
A Brilliant Opening of the Monu-
ment EaIr.
City Hall Crowded To Its utmos,
Capacity.
Admirable Addresses by Or. Gordon
and Mayor MeIcher.

The Monument Fair, now in progress at
City Hall, under the auspices OF Bosworth
Relief Corps, met with most brilliant open
Ing last evening. For several months, as Is
well known the ladies Of the corps have
been working like beavers; they have inter-
ested every one with whom they have come
In contact. and the result as shown, last
evening, was one Of the handsomest fairs
Portland has ever seen. Long before the
hour for the opening exercises the public
began to flock to the hall and by eight
O'Clock, promenading was an impossibility.
III any one wished to get to any point he had
to push and squeeze with all his might to
get there. When the time arrived for the
drill by the young ladies', the squad Of six
teen members of the Sons OF Veterans in
their neat uniforms, under the command Of
Capt. Lowell, came on to the floor. and they
had long and difficult work in forcing the
crowd together so as to make space for the
young ladies to march, eight front, around
the hall.
The crowd included a great portion Of
our best known citizens. They were glad to
help as far as they could In securing the
object for which all have worked and
struggled these many years since the war
closed. They patronized the booths, and the
restaurant. fished in the fish pond. bought
stock in the Exchange, applauded the mill
tary movements, enjoyed the music of the
band, and generally dispensed their shekels
with good grace.
The Decorations.
The decorations were as pretty as any we
ever saw in Portland for the most part. and
the encomiums were frequent and continued
on every hand. The main staircase Is en-
closed with bunting. and at the top
the visitor is greeted with a handsome
bannerIon which is inscribed in gilt letters
the following:

TO CANADIAN PRELATEs.
Pope Leo's Answer Respecting the
Question of Temporal Power.

MONTREAL, March I7.--Pope Leo's ans
wer to the letter sent him by the Canadian
prelates, respecting the question of temporal
power was made public yesterday. In 1t His
Holiness says: "It is extremely proper in
virtue Of the sanctity of your Office to vindi-
cate the liberty and rights Of the Apostolic
chair and to demand an account for the NAL
ice Of those men who only seek to lessen the
dignity Of the Sovereign Pontiff, to cover the
Catholic religion with scorn and turn away
its servants from their duty by the fear Of
penalties. Your unanimous agreement
shows us that divine power which unites
into one body all the parts of the flock Of our
Lord, nothing being more secure and more
calculated to conquer the audacity and battle
the designs Of the enemies of the church,
who desire above all things to create dissen-
sions among the faithful. And let not men
neglect to hear your voice and your demands
to which we attach very great Importance,
and to that universal zeal which Is very
pleasing to us, which causes you to pray in
unison with your brothers In the episcopacy
that God, the Sovereign Ruler Of all things,
might render powerless the thoughts Of the
unbelieving; that He might bring their pro
jects to naught, and that He might spread
abroad. among the people the fruits Of
peace"
