A Maine Institution Almost Under the
Control OF Favored Prisoner.
BOsFoN, Mass, Jan "A convict
running Il state prison Is a novel condi-
tion of affairs, but such IL said to be vir-
tually the case az the Maine state insti-
tuition at ThomastOn. w. f. Gould, the
Portland defaulter, is this unofficial per
sonage. Gould formerly was Sunday
school superintendent, church pillar,
and a son-in-law Of Neal Dow, but the
fact that some seven years ago he stole
$50, 900 from the First National bank at
Portland forced him 10 take ten years
residence at ThomastOn. He went TO
the prison in his private car, but War
den Bean set him TO work carriage max
Ing When Col. Allen, the present war
den, took charge he found In Gould a
Moses to lead him out OF the wilderness,
first as simple accountant, then as y
trusted clerk. Now he is virtually In
complete control of the business ae-
counts. Rules are relaxed In the ex-
iinancier's favor, and IL Is even said that
he writes the annual reports.

a GEORGIA JUSTICES VERDICT.


ATLANTA Ca, Jan. 5.--Chief Justice
Bleekley, in deciding that the Antioch
Baptist church must be sold To pay the

LONDON, Jan. 5.-Arrangements for a
more than usually interesting sporting
event, In which the Upper Ten" Is par
ticularly interested, are being completed.
The event referred TO will come of some
day early In March next. The exact
date will be decided upon shortly and
will be subject TO weather influences. 1t
will consist OF twenty-mile driving
race along the road between Leicester
and dMilton-Mowbray, In Leicestershire.
The principals In this race will be Henry
Cecil, iifth earl of LOnsdale, and Charles
Henry John, twentieth earl OF Shrews-
bury and Talbot.
In addition 10 the celebrity of the
drivers the details OF the race, which
will be for large stake, lend Interest To
the coming event. They are as follows:
The first five miles will be driven In
tuTnouts drawn by horses In single har-
ness, the second five miles the noble
drivers will be- behind pairs OF horses;
for the third five miles they will guide q
coach while riding position fashion with
a pair of horses; aud finally the earls
will mount the boxes Of two coaches and
will race the last five miles OF the
twenty-mile course while driving four
in-hand mail coaches.
The novelty OF this I'm de steele race Is
dellghting fashionable London, and II ID
probable that upon the day OF the race
the road between Leicester and Milton
Now bray will be lined with the equip

for everybody seems anxious To see the

Judge Harley Il. Morse and George c.

United States mint In this city with a
