| "A meeting OF the Board OF Trade wa
called for Monday evening but G. A. X
Hall having been previously engaged tn,
meeting was postponed until Tuesday
evening, when the meeting came on Presi
dent Anderson In the chair. The record
Of the last meeting was read and ap
proved
Upon request Mr.. L. w. Weston, dele
gate to the Portland convention gave an
account OF that meeting. The Secretary
said communication from the bureau OF
statistics at Washington, d. G. request.
Ing certain data from this board. The
Secretary stated that he had complied
with the request for information.
The Chair stated the specific object of
the meeting was the consideration OF the
sewerage question. Mr. L. w. Weston
spoke of the difficulties of the situation,
the unfavorable lay of the land He said
the necessity is unquestioned, the i'm
portant question is where is the money
coming from
DIR. s A. Patten said he was not an ex.
pert in sewers but knew enough about
the matter to realize it was one of the
greatest Importance. The health OF the
people is one of the things we cannot dis.
regard. 1t may be trihe hard on the
doctor bu. he has no fear that the peo-
Pile will be too healthful. He assumed
that what has been done has been on the
right plan. Was proud of Skowhegan
that she has done as much as she has al
ready.
Hon. l.. II. ssWebb said he agreed with
former speaker as to the Importance of
the subject. Was generally opposed to
the town getting in debt but in this mat
ter was prepared 30 say he was in favor
of debt sufficient to put in complete
seweraae system within ~ months from
tonight
Col. Stanley Plummer said the water
works makes the necessity of sewer ex-
tension more apparent. Thought that
the persons owning abutting property
should pay fraction of the expense, the
village corporation a fraction and the
town the balance
Secretary Bachelor said sewers are
an absolute necessity. There is not as
much Injustice in the town building the
sewers as some people suppose. The pro-
perty of the village corporation in any
event would pay three -fourths of the ex-
pense,
C. A. Ross said the thing should not be
done by piece meal. 1t should be carried
through to completion without delay.
The town should raise the money by
loan. Its credits is good and the money
could be secured at low rate.
President Anderson suggested that a
committee be raised to take this matter
into consideration, ascertain the state of
affairs in town and report to another
meeting. and on motion Of VIM. M. +.
Brown, Esq, the committee to furnish
subjects for consideration at the Board
of Trade meetings, consisting of Messrs
E. p. Coffin, Geo, b. Stafford and c. M.
Brainard with c. A. Ross and II. l.
Mitchell were designated as this com
mittee with directions to report Monday
evening, November 4th.
The meeting was not largely attended
but deep interest was manifested in the
subject under consideration. and the
opinion prevailed without dissenting
voice that the village should be supplied
with sewerage system completed within
twelve months.

OFFENSIVE PARTlSANShiP.
Announcement That viii Worry the Pol
fticians-John c. News Case.

ltlclans-JO hn 4. News Case.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 26.-Postmas-
ter General " anamaker yesterday announced
that, on further consideration, no more re-
movals of postmastsrs will be made on
charges of offensive partisanship. As sever
al changes have been made on this score
the announcement is something of a surprise
TO politicians, and is likely to bring about
lively fight between the administration and
those who are wanting to see the official ak
work with celebrity and neatness Great
pressure was being brough to bear upon Su-
perintendent Bell, of the railway mail serv-
ice, yesterday, to reinstate in their old
places the Republicans in the railway mail
service who were removed and their places
filled by Democrats. The effort is to cause
these dismissed men to be reinstated in the
old places which they had reached by years
OF advancement in the service Mr. Bell
holds that as this service is now under the
civil service law those reappointed will have
to enter at the lower places, and take their
turn IN working up to higher ones.
The charges against John c. New are lot
OF old ones to the effect that he defrauded his
brother out of SO, 900 in the settlement of
the estate, etc. They were the subject of
newspaper article some years ago, and the
writer was horsewhipped by Horny New,
MIR. News SON The charges have been
passed upon by the Indiana courts, ex-Sena-
tor Mcdonald, of Indiana, having been Mr.
News counsel He has asked to be heard in
Mr.. News behalf, and though the senate
committee would have agreed yesterday to a
unanimous report In favor of News con-
firmation after hearing the charges, they put
it off for a day at Mr. McDonald's request.
A delegation of the friends of Judge Sam
uel F. Miller, of the supreme court, called on
the president yesterday and presented his
name for appointment to the English mission.
The president, it is understood, told the dele
cation that Justice Miller could not be spared
from the bench.
A. D. Hazen who was recently confirmed
as third assistant postmaster general, was
not sworn in yesterday as expected. Mr.
harris, who at present holds the office, it is
said, desires to complete term of two years,
and so Mr. Hazen will probably not assume
his new duties until next week.

quest.
Coroner Halves was called to the lower
end of town this morning to inve stigate
q peculiar case of sudden death. Mrs.
Emma Eifert, an hsbitual drupkard, was
found dead in her bed in her little home
on the east side of Fifth street, directly
opposite the glass works. The deceased
was thirty three years of age, the wife of
Henry Eifert, laborer at the glass
works. She had resided in Rock Island
since 1870. and for ten years had been an
excessive drinker. She was in pitifnl
state Of intoxication yesterday and went
to bed last night at 8 o'clock in a state of
helpless inebriation. When her hus-
band, whose age is sixty>two, and who
sleeps in an adjoining room. arose this
morning and going to the womsn's
chamber. attempted TO arouse her he dis
covered her dead and a sleeping child on
either side of her. DR.. Bernhardi was
summoned and after examining the body
gave it as his opinion that she had been
dead two or three hours, and that her
demise was caused by paralysis of the
heart. the result of excessive drinking.
There was bad discoloration of one
Of the eyes OF the dead woman and her
husband said 1t was caused by falling
against chair last Sunday while drunk.
He admitted, nevertheless, that his wife
was exceedingly quarrelsome while in
toxicated, that family rows of serious
and disgraceful nature were not infre-
quent, and that last Sunday he struck
her in the neck with a coal shovel.
These facts were all substantiated in
the evidence brought to light by the
coroner's inquest. and it was also de-
veloped that she was an hsbitual drunk
ard. to such degree that she was ire
sponsible at least. three times
week.
The jury, composed of j. r. Johnston,
Thomas Campbell, j. II. Clelsnd, George
Foster, j. T. Dixon and l.. V. Eckhart.
after hearing all the evidence, returned
a verdict that the deceased came to her
death by paralysis OF the heart, caused
by excessive drinking"
