KENNEBEC COUNTY.
The old question of annexing the town of
Randolph to the city of Gardiner, making 1t
the seventh ward of that municipality is
again agitating the minds of the citizens,
and it would seem that this time, some def
mite action must surely result as the matter
is being thoroughly canvassed by interested
parties. Tuesday evening an informal meet
ing was held in Randolph. at which some so
OF the taxpayers were present, and vote
showed fully two-thirds. to be in favor of
annexation. The debt of the town is small
and the advantages to be derived by con-
nection with the city are many. 1t is be-
lieved that action of some sort will be taken
to bring the matter up before the next legis-
lature.

LYNcHBuRa, Va, December 22.-Rev.
John +. Edwards, pastor OF the Court
Street Methodist Episcopal church, last
night began his series of sermons on Bible
characters. taking as his first subject,
Noah" His sermon was grand and sub
lime and showed that the Doctor had lost
none Of his old force or powers of imagery
or eloQuenee, and although he has been
feeble of late he is fast recuperating and
expects soon to be in his usual health.
FOR THE HOLIDAYS.
Travel on all the railroads centring
here is very heavy, and to-day 800
negroes who are employed on the new
roads in the Southwest came in TO spend
their holidays.
Mrs. Anne T.. Price. one of the oldest
and best-known ladies of this city, died
last night; aged soventy-hye.
QUESTION OF TIsE.
One Of the most amusing incidents that
has occurred in the Police Court here for
some time happened to-day, when a negro
boy was tried for stealing watch. The
owner of the watch stated that the watch
was6aken at o'clock III the evening. The
culprit asked the Mayor TO let him testify,
and. getting on the stand. stated in a very
solemn manner that every word the other
man had told was false. for he could prove
he did not steal the watch until O'clock
exactly, for the clock struck Just as he
took the watch.

Impossible to Predict When 1t VIII BE

WASHINGTON. ID. c., December 22.-lt
does not appear that there IS any material
change in the situation in the Senate, and
II is impossible to predict when the hnan-
cial bill agreed upon by the Senate Finance
Committee will be called up. The mea-
sure itself has not yet been reported back
from the committee, where it Is retained
presumably to prevent any unauthorized
person from callingi il up aud Offering afree-
coinage amendment. It Is apparent that no
success has yet attended the efforts made
TO secure harmony of action upon the bill.
and the continuing divergence of opinion
with respect to the measure Is having the
effect of strengthening the belief OF Ger;
tain western senators that no financial
legislation az all Will be had this session.
So far as tho elections bill is concerned
there are signs Of change of some kind IN
its treatment, and it is possible that to-
morrow morning Mr. Aldrich will submit ~
cloture resolution as instructed by the eau
Gus, letting it lie upon the table, TO TO call
