The ELLSWORTH (Me.) AMERICAN of
March 10, contains an official report of the
previous meeting of the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen. We quote the action rela-
tive to police:
The mayor appointed Robert F. Sweeney,
city marshal. Voted, That the name of Rob.
ert +. Sweeney be accepted and that he be
confirmed as city marshal. Voted. That the
city marshal's pay shall be the fees arising
from the seizure of liquors. Robert F.
Sweeney and Hiram c. Lord were appointed
and confirmed as policemen. Voted, That
the poicemen's salary shall be $50 each per
month";"
1t is fortunate that Mr.. Sweeney has an
income as policeman, as his salary as city
marshal appears to be an exceedingly un-
certain quantity. If Ellsworth requires
only two policemen, it must be remarka-
bly, law-abiding city. A resolution was
adopted THAT the mayor see that the city
marshal does his full duty, especially in
stopping the sale of intoxicating drinks in

The legislature assembled in Joint con-
vention in the hall of the House, Friday
morning, March y. at II 80, to consider
the matter of removing from office by ad-
dress Judge Charles H. Hamilton of Bid
deford The following are the charges in
brief: Intemperance, immortality. licen-
tiousness while judge, presiding over
court while intoxicated, Illegally signing
and issuing for officers use, blank jurist's
certificates, bills of costs and mitimuses

their issuance. Judge Hamilton was rep
resented by Hon. H. NJ Heath, J. D.
Drummond, Esq, G. II. Haley. ESQ, and

About forty witnesses were present on
both sides. These were carefully examined,
the government occupying the entire time
up to Monday night, witnesses for the de-
fence being heard on Tuesday, and coun-
sci on both sides presenting their argu-
ments Wednesday afternoon. In accord
ance with vote of both houses Judge
Hamilton was removed victory of law,

of company that will never again as
sembe on the shores of time. When a
person has definite thoughts upon sub
ject. it is not difficult to lind language to
express those thoughts, but there are times
when we have feelings and emotions of
such intensity that no language can ex-
press them. 1t is useless for me to under
take to describe that feeling. You all
know what it is. You experience it now
and yet if we undertake to put 1t into
words and formulate it In language we
find those words and that language so fat
and so perfect failure that we do not try
to repeat them. / judge your feelings by

| found my wife had laid those photo
graphs ont on stand. and as looked into
those faces | had a feeling which knew
would be repeated within one week after
the time of final adjournment. There were
those faces, those countepances. those eX-
pressions. if you like-but it was no use
TO speak; it was no use to call the yeas
and nays" there. Those lips were silent.
These are the feelings that we have in
common and which We cannot get rid of
or suppress. do not know as il is de-
sirable to get rid Of them, hut can say
this we have not been a. strangers. the
record of every man has been the record
of a gentleman and our treatment of each
other has been such that while Ne met as
strangers we part as friends. Applause. !
