The Big Boiler Shipped.

The Bath Times reports that the steamer
Kennebecs big boiler was successfully
hoisted aboard yesterday.
The tug J. G. Macy towed the Kennebec
from the wharf below 10 beneath the shears
and it was the work of but few minutes to
place the boat in position to receive the
boiler. Everything was working smoothly,
when suddenly the lashing at the shesrhea1s
began to slip on one Of tie large spars, caus-
ing the boiler to descend gradually short
distance. In descending, the boiler came in
contact with a portion of the promenade
deck, carrying a small part away. 1t landed
on the deck, but not with sufficient force TO
cause any damage.
The fall used in lifting the boiler had a
very heavy strain upon it. The line used
was an eight and half inch one, and under
tension the running part shrunk to seven
inches.
Frank Toothaker of Richmond. employed
on the boat, received an injury to his right
ankle, caused by piece of wood from the
promenade deck. 1t was feared the leg
WAS fractured, but it proved only a sprsin.
Edward Dow, rigger. was slightly cut
on the right side Of his face by small stick
from the lower promenade deck.

Members OF the Lat Legislature not
Eligible for two Years.

RocKLASD, April 8.
Attorney General Lttlefeld decides that
the act amendatory of section ll3. chapter
81 of the revised statutes additional to said
chapter relating TO railroad commis ssioners
cannot be construed to vacate the offices
He adopts the rule of construction that Chief
Justice Fuller, speaking for the supreme
court of the United States, announces thus
Constitutions as well as statutes are construed
to operate prospectively, not restrictively,
unless on the face of the instrument the
contrary intention is manifested beyond rea-
sonable question. The law doesn't in terms
apply 10 the present board it doesn't declare
the offices vacant; it doesn't abolish and ere
ate another; it doesn't say the present board
shall possess special qualifications and in no
way refers to the present board. BY this
amendatory act the Governor isn't required
to appoint at a specific time commissioners
with special qualifications.
To vacate the offices the law should have
read, shall appoint forthwith In answer
to the inquiries of the Governor as to
whether members of the legislature of 1889
80 will be eligible to appointment as rail
rOai tOHHilsslOHtrs, lue attorney gtutrdl
decides that they will not be until the ex-
piration of two years from the first Wedne sday
in January, 1883. Article 4, part 3, section
10 u 60. stitution chap. 3l3 of the public
laws of 1859 provides that the compensation
for the commi. .sioners shall BE- in full for all
services $1,000 per annum; each clerk.
$500 nder the old law the compensation
was S. per day while actually employed in
official duties. If actually employed every
secular day in the year the compensation
could not exceed Sl565.
That th, duties TO be performed under the
new law exceed those previously imposed,
doesn't all, ct the increase of emolument
received Constant, actual employment un-
the old law for tul year would result in an
emolumett of sljG5. The commissioners
under the new law cannot devote more time
TO the duties of the office.
Answering the inquiry as to the Governors
duty as to appointments under said chapter
the Attorney General says the chapter con-
templates a board of commissioners to be
appointed nnder its provisions, to consist
of three missiOners having separate dis
tinct qualifications, The object of the law can
be Adequately accomplished only by filling
vacancies they occur in the board as now
consti uied, by appointing in the order
