MAINE DISPATCHES.
Superintendent Fairbanks Of WatePVille
Republican, Is Discharged.
The Citizens Excited Over the Sum
mary Action OF Certain Authorities

Special TO the Kennebec Journal.
WArERrILLE, July %.
WatervilIe is considerably stirrei up over
the discharge today of the superintende Mt
and inspector Of sewers. Mr.. 4. Fairbanks
Last fall Mr.. Fairbanks was engaged by
recommendation of Sanitary Engineer Wm.
IL Bradley Of Boston, who made the plans
and is consulting engineer. to take entire
charge of the construction Of its new sewer
age system. HIS work gave such general
satisfaction, that the committee composed
of democratsl induced him Jan. lat last to
move from Auburn here. But when the
spring election came around, and it ~as
found that Mr.. Fairbanks sympathized with
the republicans, and it was noisrd about that
he was brought here to add to the republican
party he was informed that his services
would not be required, ard Engineer Bradley
was asked to name another suitable man to take
charge of the work He replied 10 Chairman
Brown that he knew of no man 80 we'll quail
fed for the work This and other influences
induced ma ority of the committee 10 re
tain Mr. Fairbanks. Things have run along
more or less smoothly until yesterday when
Mr. Fairbank received polIts note from the
committee informing that his services would
be dispensed with. Mr.. Fairbanks friends
are indi -nant that he should receive such Ill
merited treatment and promise some :'ich
disclosures about the inside working of the
machine under Mr.. Browns reign. Further
Developments are watched for with consider
able interest
Engineer VIM II Bradley is here this
evening in consultation with the aldermen
and mayor.

ALASKAN INDIANS.
Inquiries Being Made BY the
Senate Committee.
Good Work ola Liberal English Ms
sionafy.
Indians Content and DESTROYS OF Hold.
ing Land-Aorais OF the Women.

OMAHA, Seb-. July 70.
The correspondent Of the Bee, at juneau,
Alaska. sends under date Of July 23rd The
Albatross with the Senate committee on In
dian affairs, arrived here Sunday afternoon.
At New MetlAkat, at Port Chester, Alaska,
the committee commenced its first Inquiries
into the charge Of Duncan. an English mis-
sionaV. who has been among this tribe for
the past thirty years. They number about
twelve hundred. On account Of his very
liberal religious teachings he has incurred
the tispleasure Of the English church, under
whose control he had been, and in order 10
enjoy more religious freedom he moved the
Indians into United States territory few
years ago.
The Committee was disappointed in finding
Duncan away. They made thorough IN
ves'igstion iato the condition of the Indians,
and found them living in an apparent state
of entire contentment, engaged IN almost all
the pursuits Of white men, and anxious to
possess lands ia severslIy or have certain
parcels set aside for them that they may cui-
tivate and hold by individual right, and they
ask that the whole Of Grayiar island be given
their tribe
The committee found the state OF morals
Of th. fodian women of New Mstlakat far
above the average Indian women in this ter
ritory. So far the committee have failed to
learn Of single Instance where an Indian
woman or girl was forcibly taken from her
parents and made to submit to the brute
passion of men. They, however. learned
that the companionship and virtue of women
is matter of dollars and cents, and are not
difficult to negotiate for.
Inquiry into the titles of the real estate
disclosed the fact that in this town of a thou
sand inhabitants not a foot of land is owned
in fee simple. Buildings and improvements
pass from one to another by simply bill of
sale. This practice is universally regarded
as a complete and perfect title. The meet
ing held at the Town II-ll this morning was
packed with Indians. At public meeting
of citizen no concentrated or defined IDEAS
W re expre ssed upon which all seemed to agr' e
as to needs but the extension of home
stead laws to territory favored, also that
territorial organization be permitted, and
some means used by which the title to lands
may be arranged. Later in the day the
committee listened TO the arguments of
of citizens. urging the extending
Of land laws into their territory. The ques
tson as TO territorial government was dis
cnssed and urged ss much needed.

SEASONS SPORTS.
Augustus Meet the HaYefhills and They
Are Ours.
One OF the iiiveliest Games Ever Wit
messed in This City.

Those who were at the station when the
Is express arrived and saw the Hayerhil |
base ball team alight sized the IN up mentally
as collection Of gentlemen who knew how
70 play bell and play it we'll. The exhi oition
of playing in the afternoon was abundant
proof that the opinion of the cranks was
just They certainly pisyed ball as n, other
team which has visited the city this season
has done. Their playing vas free from all
the tiresome aud ungentlemsniy remarks so
characteristic of the ordinary vein, the visit
ors conducting themselves a. gentlemen in
every sense of the word. The visitors ex-
Der of errors against them was larger thsn
the Augustus.
Their single weak point was in swing
ing the willow and in this they were a bit of
color. They tried hard but the head work
and puzzling curves of Sullivan were too
much for them and they either struck out or
were retired on first base in nearly every
ease. But two with total of three hits
were secured and only one of these yielded
run. kyan's irs, base playing was supe
rior as vas also the second base work of
Barry who took six chances without an er-
ror. The battery work was excellent but
was not quite strong enough to hold Augusta
down and eleven with total of selye hits
were pounded out of Ryan's delivery. Simp-
IN had IA
and a two bagger these players leading the
team in batting.
The fielding of the home team was excel
len. all round. the honors being taken By
King. Brien. Simpson AMI Priest outside
of the battery work. Sullivan pitched the
coolest game ever pitched on an Augusta
diamond, and his playing was loudly applaud
ed by his enthusiastic admirers who were
numberless. He was royalty supported by
Pushsr, BILLY" catching the game with but
two errors one of them an excusable one
The features of the game were
the superb batting of the home
team the fine catches of Priest
and Simpson made in the seventh innings
after hard runs. The work of King as field
captain cannot be too highly commended.
He handled his men in the best of form. and
his advice on all points was timely and
showed him to thoroughly understand the
game. The umpring of Burt was COM
mended on all sides and was most impartial
The game today with the Haverhill crack
battery in the points promises to be most
superior one AMI an immense crowd will
witness the contest al the Park Below is
the tabulated score of yesterdays game:

first were that James +. McManus

for strvchnjne, has confessed that he was
mistaken n To the identity of the prisoner
AMI second. that If it was proved that the
prisoner was at the drug store, then 'some
