A great number and variety Of opin-
ions have been passed during the week
upon the action of the board of comfy
commissioners in their selection of a
chairman. The election OF the senior
member Of the board to this position
has been a precedent long established,
but in this instance there were certain
circumstances which had not been pres
ent before, and which were expected to
affect the selection OF chairman on
this occasion. III. &. Crofford. the chair :
man elect, was nominated for commits
sioner by the republicans of his distri /,
he campaigned rs a republican and was
elected to the position he now holGs by
republican votes. Since that time he
has announced his conversion TO thin d
and independent party principles, and
has been recognized as an independent
Naturally, under the circumstances, he
had no reason to expect anything more
from the party which he had deserted
His conduct has never been sItiSfacori-
ly explained. and il is trifle surprising
that renegade should have been given
the most important position in body
which is republican two to one A re-
flsal to regard the old present would
have been less startling than the estab
lishment of this new one.

HE BACKED THEIR NOTES.
A Deering Liveryman Feared to Have Be
come Insane Because of His Losses.

Otis Fitzpatrick is the owner of large
livery stable in Deering and has been
doing a profitable business. But he
backed number of notes for friends
who have proved false, and he has been
obliged to pay them. The amount is
said to be considerable and the matter
troubled him so that his mind seems to
be deranged
Last Thursday Fitzpatrick drove into
the stable of the Saco River House in
Saco with a buggy and one horse. He
ordered the animal well cared for and
went into the house and engaged room
for himself He did not say how long
he should stay, and up to yesterday
forenoon said nothing to anybody
about the house what his plans were.
To those who were with the man most it
is said he appeared rather strange at
times, but nothing serious was suspected
until yesterday when Phillip Fitzpatrick
of Limerick made his appearance. He is
the father of Otis and claims that his son
is demented.
Mr.. Fitzpatrick, senior, was informed
several days ago that his son was miss
ing from his place of business and that
his affairs were suffering in consequence.
The father began an investigation and
traced his son to Saco. When he reached
Saco, Otis had been paying visit to his
father and was on his way home.
Philip Fitzpatrick, the father, is one of
the wealthiest and best known farmers
in Limerick. Otis was born and reared
in that town and is about 40 years of
age. Soon after leaving his home he
went to Great Falls, N. H., where he
had charge of a department in Bates's
dry goods store. He was there few
years and later came to Portland and en-
gagged in the stationery business. He
has been stable keeper for about 10
years. He is married.
