WAR ON the SALOONS
There was Great Thirst Yesterday In
the Queen City

BANGOR, January THE 40 or more
bar rooms in this city closed with snap to-
day and the thirsty mourn. The cause was
the descent made upon them by the COM
bined forces OF Sheriff Farnham and Marshal
Whitney, aided by special eonstables, and
several loads Of liquor have been seized.
The movement is the outgrowth Of the ac-
tion Of the Good Templars and Reform Club
men and they say there is to be no let up.
Dealers are rigging dumps and secret hiding
places and say they will fight 10 the end.
The police were furnished with warrants
sworn out by some members of committee
of seven men. whs are understood to be
pushing the matter. The committee are j..
Nj. Jewett, A.. p. Richardson, Volney B.
Gushing, X. b. Hassard, w. II. Pitcher, l..
j. Wheelden and W. +. Hunter of Brewer.
This committee have been quietly at work

man said that the committee were
responsible for what had been done and
were going to keep at IL. He said they had
Wet every seller high and low and should
use II II they saw fit at the proper time. To-
day warrants were made out only against the
heaviest dealers. The committee have also
notified the owners CT buildings were liquor
Is sold so that the owners cannot excuse
themselves when dealers are caught and
fined hereafter. by saying they did not
know liquor was sold there. IL Is
their purpose they say to make the owners
of the buildings liable according TO law as
well as the dealers themselves. The war
rants served today were sworn out, IL Is un-
derstood, by two members Of the committee
who swore to the fact that liquor
was sold on the premises. In answer
to the question why notice
had not been served ON the saloon keepers
this man said II was not their intention to dc
any such thing; that that plan had been
followed in previous movements, and had
not resulted satisfactorily.

FOR A BRIDGE SEVEN MILES LONG.
A Scheme to Connect jersey City
and Her Big Neighbor.
Speaker Reed Shows That He Means
TO Have Business Done.
The Southern Scheme to Ship the
Negroes to Africa.

WASHINGTON, January 7.-Congressman
VIM. McAdoo of New Jersey, has presented
to the House in the form of bill, one of the
most stupendous bridge schemes ever con-
templated. 1t provides for structure seven
miles in length, reaching from the Hacken-
sack River, across and above buildings in
Jersey City, thence across the Hudson to
New York. 1t will be a suspension bridge,
accommodating at least six lines of railroad
tracks, as we'll as horse and foot passengers,
The idea is to enable the Pennsylvania, Del
aware, Lackawanna and Western, the Erie,
the Lehigh Valley. the New Jersey Central
and other railroad lines entering at Jersey
City to secure swift connection with the
metropolis at the New York end. There is
to be u huge union depot. The plans were
drawn by A. Gustave Lindenthal of Pitts
burg. The bridge is to be so high that any
vessel can pass beneath it, and no river pier
is to be permitted. 1t is to be constructed
under the supervision of the War Depart
ment. The Interstate Commission is to fix
the tolls, to examine the accounts of the
company and find out how much the struct-
ure costs, so that there shall be no watering
OF stock. Agreement is made to carry the
United States mails free.
The inc0rp0ratorS named In the bill are
Garrett A. Hobart and E. G. p. Young, pres
ident OF the First National Bank Of Jersey
City; Jordan L. Mott, the big iron manufac-
turer; G. A. R0ebling of the Roebling wire
works, Trenton; ChaS. j. Canda, president
of the Western National Bank of New York:
Thos. j. Ryan, John FL. Miller. John. King
McLanahan, James Andrews, Samuel Rea,
W.. 7. Skunk and Philip E. Chaplin. The cap
ital stock Is fixed at $40, ,0O0, 900, with power
to increase to $40, 900, 600 il necessary.

FOUR BARE WALLS
Where handsome Building Stood
TWO Hours Before.

Especial TO the Press.l
LEWISTON, January -Four bare walls
lighted only with spectral glare from the
burning debris within, are all that mark the
site of tie city building of Lewiston. The
alarm was rung in about $40 p. M. and be-
fore the fire department came upon the scene
the roof was sheet of flame. The fire had
gained such tremendous headway before 1t
was discovered that the efforts Of the firemen
to check or control ii were worse than futile,
and every energy was bent to the task OF
saving neighboring buildings The skating
rink, the De Witt House. and some
neighboring tenement shanties were
deluged with water which froze as it fell
and coated them with covering OF ice that
proved safeguard against the flames. The
brick block standing on Lisbon street next
to the city building was not quite So fortu-
nate and was ruined.
The fiIe played sad havoc with the records
of the city. City Clerk Putnam says, that
several volumes of his records and valuable
files of papers are gone up in smoke. CLERK
of the Water Board Goss says that every
book in the water commissioners office Is
gone, and Assistant Clerk Bonney. was only
able to save few volumes OF the latest civil
and criminal records of the municipal
court.
In City Hall the Androscoggln Poultry
and Pet Stock Association were holding
fair In City Hall some 600 fowl were on
exhibition, and almost all of them were de-
stroyed. The same society was also holding
a dog show in City Small Hall, but the ca
mines escaped.
The list of casualties attendant upon the
fire is not long one. Fred smith, an Au,
burn fireman, had his shoulder "renched
and thrown out of joiEt ASA Green. an EN-
poye of the telephone comp0ny vas more
the wires he lost his hold and fril distance
Of about % feet, striking all in heap upon
the ice and the rough, fruZrn ground. When
picked up he was found to he badly hurt and
bleeding at the lurgs. His injuries may
prove fatal.

List Increases.

New YORK, January 7.-At IL O'Clock to-
day, DR.. Nagle, Of the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics, announced that death reports came in
more rapidly this morning than at any time
since the grip came to town. The real total
today was at least 255. DIR. Edison said "At
least 10000 persons in this city are suffering
from grip. l had hoped the malady would
be on the decrease after six weeks ravages,
bu; the figures today destroyed my hopes. 1t
Is unusual fol- a disease of this kind to be
epidemic more than six weeks"
BOSTON, January THE number Of deaths
reported In this city was 73, three from la
grippe alone and ten from influenza compli-
Gated with other diseases, chiefly pneumonia.
City Physician McCallum said today that in
his opinion the influenza epidemic had pass
ed the worst period. Colder weather will
doubtless lessen its intensity.
DOVER. n. H., January 7.--Mory Malin,
aged 16 employed in the card room of No.

Mr.. Morgan addressed the Senate on the
provide for the emigration of persons of
color from the Southern States. 1t was un-
deniable, he said, that the aversion be-
tween the two races had greatly Increased
since slavery was abolished. 1t would in
crease as long as large portion of the pop
ulation was African. The aversion was not
so intense in the South as in the North. The
separation of the races was the only thing
that would extinguish race aversion in Amer
lea. The Negro could grow up to the full
measure of his destiny in the Congo basin,
where were found the best types of the At
rican race. There the American negro
would find a field for his efforts There
we've grand possibilities there for American
Negroes. He claimed the American Negro
could civilize Africa, which the whites could
not.
In summing up, Mr.. Morgan pointed to the
fact that the Negroes had no chance to rise
in this country. There were no Negro bank
presidents, no Negro railroad presidents, no
Negro presidents of manufacturing, COM
mercial, mining and navigation companies,
no Negro directors, cashiers and tellers in
the banks, no Negro engineers and conduct
Ors on the railroads, no Negro state or fed
eral judges, no Negro governor of state or
territory, no Negro in any northern legisla-
ture, and no Negro representative in either
house OF Congress from any northern State.
