sumed today. g. Fl. Fernald Of Worcester

ing the rumOrs of opposition to the West

cester county were under 500, which was
paid by Mr.. Bates.
Hon. T. G. Bates testified that he had large
financial interests In the West End Land
Company ana was employed by the West
End company for year or little more. He
had strongly adkised the adoption of the
electric system and was expected to exert
himself to promote the interests of the COM
pany. He had not been able to perform the
amount of service he thought possible at
first and could not conscientiously take the
whole $4,000. de should settle with the
company and had already received $500.
At this point the Attorney General sub
mitted list of payments by the West End

$500; G. j. Noyes, $1,000; G. A. Bruce, S1O,-

dies at Colby.
Especial to the Press. ]


WATERvILLE, June 1S.-The Mckinney
will case, recently argued in this city. is
quite an interesting one. The deceased
father left by the terms Of his will, all his
property amounting to several thousand dol
lars, besides large farm in Winslow. to his
wife and to his children, several in number,
he allotted 81 each. The merits Of the case
on either side were argued in this city before
Judge Webster, who will render decision
about the first of July.
Probably the largest freshman class In the
history Of the institution will enter Colby
University next fall. Already 20 young la
dies have been heard from who intend grac-
ing Colby's classic halls by their presence
and more are expected. Considering the
fact that there were only eight In the last
freshman class this is quite an Increase.
Professor Smaller Matthews, of the chair
of history and political economy at Colby
has been at Calais this week to deliver the
address before the graduating class of the
Calais High School. 1t is understood that
Mr.. S. E. Webber, Colby '86, who has been
principal of this school for several years,
will resign at the close Of the present year,
to devote himself to his medical studies.
Mr.. Webber has met with excellent success
at Calais.

Our street Amusements.

Just now the man who doesn't want to put
out cent for music, or who hasn't cent to
put out. can still manage to pick up quite a
lot Of fun such as 1t Is on our streets. For
example yesterday we had the man with the
bear. The man was hard-looking Italian
count, and the bear was still harder look
Ing specimen Of old world depravity. Still
1t was plain to be seen by the way he looked
now and then at the count that he wasn't
entirely cast down, but was rather counting
on a good meal In due time. When that
time comes that bear will wander about
alone, and any one having business with
the count will find him inside.
Then there was the man with the monkey.
and the young lady with the little tin dip
per. They had stage, and the monkey was
the performer. He was highly educated
monkey and could understand when he was
sworn at In English, French and Italian. He
was little tired, and his jacket was a poor
fit. More than that he hadn't had his din
ner, and he was afraid to fire the musket the
man handed him, because he knew that there
the street. The young lady took up a col
lections. butlthe result wasn't what she ex
pected or the merits Of the show deserved.
A street band was out yesterday. and with
considerable success to, II one might ven
ture to judge the average collection by one
that was taken up on Exchange street. 1t is
as good band as such bands average, and
they commonly average as we'll as their col
lection. That particular band invited the
citizens Of Portland to 'Look away. look
away to land Of cotton" or some equally
absurd request. but it was given gently and
no one was obliged to look unless he want
ed to.
Then down on Fore street little girl, a
foreigner. sung a song in what an Irishman
observed was ''liquid Italian" II he was
right she ought to sing solid Italian after
this, for not one Of her hearers could make
out what she said. Apparently she repeat
ed several times, "Pease send for William
Sawyer" and 10 quiet her evident distress
the crowd contributed generously towards
paying the passage of William from Italy to
Portland.

On the Sabbath Question.

Rev. l.. Ii. HallOck introduced these reso-
lutions adopted by the conference on the
Sabbath question:
Whereas, The Christian Sabbath is among the
priceless blessings received from God through our
of inestmable value for the maintenance of our
Chrlstian institutions and the preservation of our
Scrptural religious faith and life; and
Whereas, We believe that the observance of
the Christian Sabbath as day OF rest and worship
by all the people is fundamental to the purity of
the morals and the truest welfare OF the Common
Therefore. With this profound conviction of its
sacredness and the prll OF its infractiOn we
deeply depiore the tendency TO secularize the
Lords Day by the running Of railroad trains and
steamers, or the transportation of fleight, and
the employment of laborers.
In view of these facts and believing in the right
mindedness of our fellow citizens who have fhe
management of these affairs: we do earnestly and
respectfully petition the onlcers OF the Maine
Central Railroad Ito whom we are indebted for
many and substantial fayors), and the managers
of our various steamboat lines in Portland har-
63r and and 1e snpes ,no Of Ice and
the wide Christian sentiment OF our state and
the scriptura doctrine OF the holy Sabbath, so far
as to discontinue and refrain from running or
loading trains or boats, either for excursion or
regular business on the Lords Day.
Resolved. That copy Of THIS action @ be imme.
dlately eneroSsed, duly atteSted and presented to
those whom it especially concerns.
1t was also suggested that the ministers of
the state present anew the foundation and
the claim of the Sabbath upon all citizens.
