For some days past Cook has been working for Farmer Sturgess, Clara's father, hay ing. The farmer allows his men to drink all the hard cider they can stow away, and as a result Tommy became intoxicated, and went to sleep on the farmers front door step.
 Mrs. Sturgess objected and under took to drive the slugger off. His blood was up in a minute and he struck her. She screamed and her cries for help were heard by Clara, who quickly rushed to her mothers assistance. She picked up 8 chair and belabored the prize fighter over the head. The chair was broken in few moments and Cook turned his attention to the girl and started to thrash her. She grabbed him around the neck and gave him a pummelling.

Going the Wrong Way.

Ex-Governor Andrew Shuman entered
the smoking car on Chicago and North
Western train the other afternoon, says
the Chicago Tribune, and took seat facing
toward the engine. The seat ahead Of him
was turned over. Mr.. Shuman was smok-
ing a good cigar and had an evening paper
in his hand. As he settled back an Irish
man, with 4 clay pipe in his mouth. enter
ed the car. His freath was redolent with
bad whiskey and red eye tobacco
Good ayenin'. Misther Shuman," said
the Irishman, IS he sat down on the seat
opposite.
How are you, Pat?" said Mr.. Shuman.
"Noicely. tank you" was the reply.
Pat had probably hoed the garden for
Governor Shuman at some time. and he
was presuming on old acquaintance. He
leaned over, blew q little bad breath and
worse tobacco smoke in Governor Shu-
mans face, and asked:
"How's tings in Evanston, sOr?"
Very nicely" replied Governor Shu-
man, trying to open the window to get q
breath of fresh air.
Pat leaned over again and allowed an
other Whit of red eye to circle around Gov
ernor Shuman's head, as he said:
"Oi am glad to hear it. sor. Now, Old
lOike to AZ YOU"
But Governor Shuman was desperate.
Where are you going, Pat?" he asked
abruptly.
Evanston, sor." was the reply.
"EvanstOn" exclaimed Governor Shu-
man. "Why you're going the wrong way.
Can't you see you're faced toward Chicagos
Turn the seat over"
The Irishman gave start, turned around
and looked toward the engine, and then
glanced out the window.
BE hivens, you're roight y he exclaimed.
"Oim faced the wrong way. Tank you,
Misther Shuman."
He turned his seat over and Governor
Shuman buried his head in his paper and
enjoyed the rest Of the trip. In fact, he
was seen to smile once or twice.

Stand by the Speaker.

Ii Is not easy TO have patience with the
newspapers that talk about Speaker Reed
manufacturing" quorum The speaker
has not once manufactured" a quorum.
He has simply announced quorum as
IN attendance" to quote the constitution
al expression and not a human being has
1enicd the fact or truth of what he has an
nounced. 1t is gratifying To observe that
the speaker is keeping up the practice. snd
We hope he will continue 1t during his en-
tire two years of service whenever 1t is
necessary. He is doing just what the con
~tltuiion clearly intended should be done.
and just what has been done repeatedly in
other legislative bodies when the emergen-
cy called for II. by both republican and
democratic presiding officers. Some of
the republican newspapers have been very
weak in the back on this question. The
public has everything to gam, whichever
party is in power, by the practice which
Mr.. Reed has inaugurated. When the
practice Is once fully recognized beyond
question, ii will put stop to the revolu-
tionary proceeding of men sitting in their
seats and trying to block the wheels Of
legislation by simply refusing 70 vote
when il is their duty to vote. The best
way to enforce vo ing quorum is to let
ldttIous anu
derstand that there is power to enforce
their attendance" and that their atten-
dance counts the same in making legal
quorur as if they voted The reason the
present ractice has prevailed so many
wears is because il was the most natural
and convenient way of announcing quo
rum. But it is not the only way, and is
never the best way when it does not reveal
the real fact 1t is only within a compar-
atively few years that there has been occa-
sion to record a quorum as Mr.. Reed has
done it. The present practice ought to
have been put in force some years ago.
If the democrats have the house two years
hence by six or seven majority, and the
republicans try to obstruct by the means
the democrats have now employed, We
hope the democratic policy will be that OF

COLONEL Il have the honor to submit
the following report upon a survey of Un-
ion River and Union River Bay, Maine,
made under your direction in August, 1889,
in accordance with river and harbor act Of
August IL. 1883.
The tidal portion of Union River begins
at the city of Ellsworth and runs souther-
ly l2 miles where it empties intO Union
River Bay, which is one of the arms Of
Bluehill Bay.
Owing to the lack of funds necessary to
make complete survey Of the river two
detached surveys were made. one extend
ing from the head of navigation to Lords
wharf, distance of | l-3 miles, and the
other covering the bar at the mouth, a
length of l-2 miles, leaving an unsurvey-
ed portion between of 2-3 miles. The
chart of the U. 5. Coast Survey shows
depths varying from TO % feet at mean
low water throughout this unsurveyed in
terval.
The surveys were plotted on two separ-
ate sheets, which are herewith submitted K:
Chart No. | shows the river between Ellis
worth and Lords wharf, and is drawn to q
scale of 1000. Chart No. 2 shows the
bar at the mouth of the river, and is drawn
to a scale OF 5000. A triangulation was
made for each survey, the high-watcr lines
and wharves being filed in between by
stadia measurement. The soundings were
located by intersection with two transts,
and depths measured with a lead on grad
uated brass chain.
The soundngs on both charts are reduc-
ed to the plane of mean low water as es-
tablished in the U. 8. Coast Survey in
1879. The bench mark used is thus de-
scribed by the coast survey. The gauge
was fastened to the southeast corner OF
Captain Bonsey's wharf on the right bank
Of Union River, 1-2 miles below Ellis
worth. The bench-mark Is = hole drilled
