Newspaper Notes.

The Youths Companion presents its greet
ings to the editor on a handsomely engraved
sheet, inviting the recipients of the invita-
ton to call at their new home in Boston, Co
lumbus Avenue and Berkeley street. The
Companion is now sixty-tive years old, but
in spite of it's age is brighter and better than
ever.
Among the amusing instances of ofnewspaper
enterprise (?) of late date, was the attempt
of the Boston Herald to give map of the
burned district in Camden. According to
the map the fire covered all the territory
from the Boston steamboat wharf across the
Belfast road and quite a distance up the
side of Mt. Beatty, thence westerly over to
the river and down into the village, extend
ing to the shore of the harbor all the way,
and leaving off where the fire actually
started. \ comparatively small part of the
area Of the village was burned over, but this
map showed over half of it in ashes, with a
number OF farms and ii part of the mountain
included. The accompanying letter-press
was equally wide of the mark, including the
town of Rockport in the statistics given,
and altogether it was a fat-witted piece Of
work.
The Maine Farmer made it's appearance in
qllarto form last week, as previously an
nounced and more than met expectations.
The propretors showed good Judgment in
buying their type and other material from
the we'll known establishment of Phelps,
Dalton x Co., $50 Congress street, Boston,
the leading house in this line in New Eng
land The journal bought its new dress and
outfit from this firm, and heartily commends
it to the fraternity in general. But to
turn to our old friend in its new garb. 1t
concludes an editorial retrospect in these
words:
The Farmer never better equipped for
giving its readers a complete agricultural
and family newspaper 1t has men we'll
equipped for editors of it's several depart
ments, and corps of correspondents with
active brains, open eyes and ready pens. So
into the future we go, stimulated by an hon
est desire and earnest purpose to maintain
the high position the Farmer has attained in
the line of journalism: not relying upon past
efforts, however good or deserving, but
reaching forward to better attainments and
better work. Let all those who believe in
our grand motto, "Our Home our Country,
and our Brother Man. join MS in the enter
prise.

POLITICAL POINTS. Chairman Carter,
Of the Republican national committee.
sent the following telegram TO l'rcsi-
dent Harrison Thursday afternoon: RE
turns show that We have been defeated by
ponounced majority. The defeat can
only be attributed to a reaction against
the progressive policies OF the Republican
party. Federal Judge Williams, in
Arkansas, made special charge to the
grand jury Thursday that indictments
should be brought against all the Demo
cratic election commissioners of the State
ion violation of the new election law by
appointing all the election judges from
the same political party. The indications
are that indictments by the wholesale will
foiloW..... The clerks returns from 4i1
out of III Maine cities, towns and planta-
tions, give Harrison %, Sl3, Cleveland II, :
3O3.. Apparently the Ohio ballot law also
needs amendment. There, as in Maine, they
have twomethods of marking, either against
the party name OF names of candidates. 1t
is reported that many voters put the cross
against the name of the first elector in
stead Of against the party designated
and cas- the ballot under the impression
thai they had voted the straight ticket
Only the vote against the name could be
counted. Of course, and as the election is
exceedingly ~ close the result is likely to be
a mixed electoral college The confession
Of l.. :. Harway. assistant secretary of
the People party campaign committee in
Kansas, is made public. He exposed Il
plot arranged in Topeka to have an at
tempt made to assassinate Jerry Simpson,
IIarway says the parties to the scheme
were W. {. Jones. chairman OF the Demo
cratic state committee, Bredenthal, chair
man OF the Peoples party and Jerry
simpson. The object was to create sym
pathy and aid in his election... Senator
Sherman denies rumors that he intends to
resign.... With tour towns missing. New
Hampshire gives Harrison !, 2S2 plurality
-. Kansas Republicans concede their de-
feat on national, State and legislative
tickets. Funston Nep) is probably elect
ed to Congress. -. The New Haven, Conn.
Register says that steps have already been
taken by General S. +. Merwin' $ friends
to secure his election as United States
Senator, to succeed General Hawley.......
There is no great loss without some small
gain. The Republicans have lost about
everything else. but they have gained
over forty Congressman . Russell's plur-
ality in Massachusetts is now placed at
$500. Congressman Jerry Simpson is re-
elected in Kansas after ALL. Very few
Republican leaders have anything to say
on the result. Secretary Foster, however,
attributes it to d dissatisfaction with the
Mckinley law. Cleveland 5 electoral col
lege vote is, according to latest returns
I'll. without California and Ohio, which
are claimed by both parties. If he gets
those States the vote will stand: Cleve-
land, BOB; Harrison, lis; Weaver, %. This
is based upon reports that Colorado, Ida
ho, Kansas, Nevada and North Dakota
are for Weaver, and that Michigan gives
Harrison s and Cleveland votes. Ne
braska and South Dakota are Republican,
and the Republicans appear to have one
of Ohios % electors.

Camden's Calamity.

We print on the Sd page full details Of the
disastrous fire in Camden by which the larg-
er part of the business section of that pretty
and busy town was laid in ashes 1t was a
terrible calamity, and especially so coming
at season when the work of rebuilding
must necessarily be slow: for of course the
burned section will be rebuilt. better than
before, and no doubt with better protection
against fire. The Camden Herald says:
One fact was fully demonstrated during
the fire, and that was that this town needs a
steam fire engine. The force from the NV
drants is not sufficient for the fire purposes,
and we should have a steamer, or else have
reservoir on the side of the mountain sup
piled from the river from which to secure
good service. \ good steamer would have
stopped the fire in the first building. This
is the third time the water has failed us and
we must not rely upon it longer.
In another article the Herald calls upon
the people to cheer up. 1t sa.s:
Camden has met with terrible loss but
it is not al irreparable one. The people of
Camden are not wont to sit down despon-
dent when they meet with loss, however
severe. Pluck, perseverance and enterprise
nave ever characterized our business men,
and in facing this, the greatest calamity our
town has ever sustained, they will not he
found wanting. Fair Camden will rise again,
more beautiful than before. Already we hear
our people discussing, as to how the burnt
district shall be rebuilt. Where now lie
smouldering ruins, in few months will
stand elegant business blocks: the old firms
VIII be at work in new quarters; the home
less societies will be sheltered in new lodge
rooms; the destroyed residences will be re-
built; the church will rise again from the
ashes and a better hall will take the place of
fallen Meguntcook. Camden has received
blow, but she has not been ruined. Cheer up,

RumseIiing, Robbery and Perjury.

A series of cases We're before the Police
Court Monday and Tuesday which attracted
considerable attention, the complainant al
leging that he was drugged and robbed by
the respondents. The first case, and the one
out of which the others grew, was State on
complaint of Leander Nutter, of Steuben,
against Maitland B. Smith, Cassius Dickey,
Eldorus P. Mahoney and Beecher Kendall.
The evidence presented by the State showed
that complainant, Capt. Nutter, came here
in his vessel, schooner Sadie & Lille, and
discharged a cargo of grain, getting his
freight money 81 80 Nov. Sth. This money
he carried in leather wallet with other
funds, i'll all about $50. Thursday about
noon he went into the place known as the
shipping office, on Main street, where with
the four defendants and his mate Winfield
s. Keen, of Eastport, he drank liquor sever
al times. Three times lie took hot whis-
ky, the liquor being poured out by Ken
dali and mixed by Smith After the
drinking there was considerable wrest-
ling, Mahoney throwing Capt. Nutter down
twice ami Kendall hitting him in the face
once. The four had hold of him at different
times. When he attempted to leave he was
told he owed 10 cents for drinks land when he
took out his money to pay it he found some
to be missing. He mentioned the loss, but
all present denied knowing anything
about it. He Went on board the vessel be-
tween and o'clock in the afternoon, and
next morning got ont a warrant against all
who took part i'll the scutfiing. The captain
appeared somewhat confused in giving his
testimony, but the mate and steward of the
vessel and VIM. Robbins, Jr, who were in
the place at various times during the after
noon, all told straight stories, and corroborat-
ed the complainant. The steward testified
that he had sailed with Capt. Nutter abouta
year and that the captain had not been as
well either mentally physically since
Thursday as he had been before. The
theory of the State is that the hot liquor
drugged, and that in the scutiie the
money was taken Judge Rogers decided
there was probable cause to hold defendants
and ordered them to recognize in 81 900 each
for appearance at the January term of S. j.
Court.
Tuesday morning Smith and Kendall
We're again arraigned the former on four
liquor warrants-single sale, keeping tip
pling shop, common nuisance and being
common seller--and the latter for single
sale, On single sale each defendant was
sentenced to fine of $50 and costs and I'M
prisonment for 50 days, from W Inch they ap-
pealed Bail was fixed at 500. On the other
warrants against Smith he was bound over
iii 500 each to the January term of S j,
Court.
In the common nuisance case Dicley was
witness and on the testimony he then gave
the Court committed him for perjury, to
await tile action of the grand jury III Janu-
AIRY. Bail was fixed at $500

Reception to Rev. G. w. and Mrs. Field.

The Bangor Wing 4 Courier of Saturday
last says: Friday evening ii very pleasant
event occurred in the vestries OF the Central
Church, the occasion being Il reception of
Rev. and Mrs. G. w. Field. The rooms had
been beautifully prepared for the affair, pro-
fllsely and tastily decorated and brilliantly
lighted, and presented Il very attractive ap-
tearanct. From about 10 to 10 o'clock. the
menbers of the parish and church ia large
numbers Were present, and the time was
passed in delightful manner.
The guests were received by Rev Or. Field
and Mrs. Field. Daring the evening delicious
refreshments consisting of cake, coffee and
ice cream we're served and the Apollo Quar-
tette rendered several pleasing selections.
Rev. DIR. Field addressed the gathering i'll
a very feeling manner and expressed the
hope that his successor might have the same
generous support that has made his long pas
torate so pleasant. Now that he has retired
to the ranks DE-. Field said that he should
try and make a good layman, simply asking
that he might retain Il place i'll the affections
oi those who had So long been his people
John l.. Crosby, Esq, was asked to respond
for the parish and with deep feeling he eN-
pressed i'll most felictouS words the tender
bond of sympathy that has ever existed he
tween pastor and people, a love and affec-
ton that neither time nor the changed rela-
tlon would affect. The heart OF the parish
is large enough to take in the pastor
without crowding out the love and venera-
tiun for the retiring pastor.
The occasion WSS efficiently arranged and
passed off in IL most pleasing manner, and
was most fitting expression of the atfec-
ton of the people for DR.. Field, who has SO
long filled the pastorate of the church land for
Mrs. Field who has been his helper, at this
time when new pastor has been obtained.
Both have a hold upon the hearts ut the
members of the parish that will never grow
less
