Sagadahoc county before Judge Walton.
The Judge ordered a non suit.

Hurt by an Exploding Cartridge.

Friday afternoon, a man boarded the
electric car at Woodfords, having arrived
on the Maine Central, who attracted a
good deal of attention among the pas
sengers because his face was nearly COW
cred with red handkerchief and that
portion of his chin that could be seen
was thickly dotted with po-der. His
name is Albert Fuller, and he was on his
way to the Eye and Ear Inirmary in
this city having come from Phillips,
where last Wednesday, while putting a
cartridge into Marlin repeating rifle in
room containing several people, it was
exploded, the bullet bursting through
the side of the shell and passing through
the door of the room, and the powder
exploding in his face seriously injuring
his eyes, though he can still see little.
He had, of sourse, suffered agonies with
his eyes for over AS hours, having been
unable to sleep.

The Report.

The Report.
This report has been greatly delayed
by the death Of County Treasurer James
M. Webb. Mr.. Webb died January "a,
1892. At that time he had nearly com
pleted his report, but had not signed it.
The commissioners have finished the re-
port and the same will be found in the
usual place.
County Jail.
Quite extensive repairs have been made
at the Jail the past year. New floors
have been lai d in the kitchen and base
ment. A new cooking range with hot
water apparatus has been put in and a
large addition made to the Jail stable.
Several times in the past the commits
S ioners have called attention to the lack
Of cell room at the Jail to accommodate
the large number of prisoners committed.
They are glad to say that owing to the
large decrease in the number of commit
ments the past year, no trouble has
been experienced.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Yon Yonson.


Miss Annie Lewis, Mr.. Lifts soubrette
with the ''Yon Yonson'' company, has
had a slipper named in her honor and
known as 'sthe Lewis slipper 1t came
about in this manner: While doing her
dance in lyon Yonson' in Detroit, one
of her slippers few off and landed in the
lap Of a gentleman in the parquet. The
gentleman in question CHANGED to be the
largest manufacturer of ladies' footwear
in Detroit, and as he was most modest
man and disliked notoriety, he failed
to return the slipper that night, but the
next day returned it to Miss Lewis with
polite note of apology saying that the
little incident had given him an idea,
that he had desiged new style of
slipper, especially for dancers, and one
that was warranted not to come off dur
ing the dance, and that he had taken the
liberty to christen it the Lewis slipper
in honor of the lady in question. lyon
Yonson'' will be seen at Portland Thea
tire, Friday and Saturday. Tickets now
ready.
Symphony Concert Postponed.
Mr.. Stockbridge yesterday afternoon
received telegram from the Boston
Symphony Orchestra, postponing their
concert which has been announced for
this evening. The date when they will
come has not yet been decided.
Emma Eames.
The Boston Sunday Globe gives the
following little bit Of romance about En-
ma Games:
Miss Eames sang for the Cecilia, you
know, before she left Boston, and also
at the Symphony concert January 16,
$50, with Miss Mary Fl. How, Mr.. Charles
+. Webber and Mr.. Clarence E. Hay in
Schuman's Manfred. Mr.. Gericke was
the conductor at that time, and very en-
thusiastic over Miss Eamess singing.
ssYou have fortune in your throat" he
said to her, and then the little birds tell
that he fell in love with her, but re-
ceived no encouragement. Miss Eames
has never had to face the difficulties of
fortune so many song birds have strug-
gled with, but she has wrestled long and
hard with her art, determined to come
off victor. She has and has always had
a glorious voice, but she has worked for
every note and every tone in it.
Notes.
The Mikado, by local singers, will be
produced at City Hall, April u, % and

dard lectures, Primrose & West, Her
mann and the GilmoreSconcerts. Tickets
for good seats can be procured at Stock

LAND OF THE GORILLA.
MIR. Paul b. Du ChaiIlu's Lecture Last
4 Evening.

The lecture by Paul B. Du Chaillu
last evening was worthy the large audi
ence which assembled in City Hall to
hear it, Those who have read Mr.. Du
Chaillu's book, with its wonderful sto-
ries, can imagine what the lecture was
like. The lecturer is exceedingly bald
headed, exceedingly humorous, and
would be exceedingly pleasing as lee
turer if his mastery of the English Ian
guage was little more complete. He
was only IS years old when he landed on
the west coast of Africa, 8 little above
the Equator, to begin his journeyings.
He took with him 10, 900 pounds of beads,
knives, brass kettles, and other articles
pleasing to the Africans, and by judi
cious trading managed to get along with
out harming anyone or being harmed.
He took the fever and consumed five
pounds of quinine and considerable ar
senic in the three years of his sojourn.
But he came back unscathed, after most
wonderful adventures in the land of the
cannibals, the gorillas and the dwarfs.
He had $4,000 offers of marriage, not
very alarming number, he thought, in
country where dress making was so
cheap. He found the cannibals fine men
physically, and excellent blacksmiths,
even carrying their art to the extent of
making steel by the use of charcoal. The
cannibals ate their enemies killed in war
and those of their own people who died
natural deaths. But they drew the line
at relatives. When a relative died the
body was sent as food for another family
who were expected to return the compli-
ment when the opportunity came. The
lecturers account of his adventures in
the land of the gorillas, THOSE huge,
ape-like creatures whose cries could be
heard six miles, and whose strong arms
could rend the branches of great trees
was very dramatic, and the well acted
story of the shooting of the first gorilla
drew forth hearty applause. Mr.. Chaillu
claims that this was the first gorilla
killed by white man since the days OF
the great Carthaginian hunter, 1000 years
before. He found the dwarfs also, visit
ed their villages, pulled them from their
huts and measured them; although peo-
pie thought he was romancing when he
told of the little creatures, until Stanley
confirmed him. The lecture was accom-
panied by display of stereopticon pic
lures from sketches made by the lecturer
on his travels.
The lecturer was pleasantly introduced
by Rev. DR.. Henry Blanchard.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
1t Goes on Record in Favor of New
High school Building.

The regular monthly meeting of the
school committee was held last evening,
all being present except Mayor Ingraham
and Mr.. Bradley. In the absence of the
Mayor, Mr.. Webb presided.
It was voted that DR.. Whittier be con-
timed as teacher in physical culture
until July list, with the understanding
that he will come here three days week
from now until that time.
Mr.. Webb of the committee on esti-
mates, reported the following estimates
for the year:
General appropriation. .............. 2463O
Special appropriation. .'.............. $4,000
Total ................., $159, 43O
Last wear the estimate was $16S, 1000.
The,special appropriation includes $780,
900 towards paying for a new high school
building and $12, 900 towards erecting a
new building for the West school.
These two items were discussed at
some length by the committee. DIR.
Thompson said that he had talked with
men of practical experience, and had
been told that the fundamental construc-
ton of the present building was wrong,
and that it would not be practicable to
remodel it. He thought it would be
more satisfactory to the citizens, and
more economical in the end to put up a
new building, which he estimated could
be done for SIC, 900. The Green street
school house cost $4,000 and it would
perhaps cost double that amount or a
little more for new high school build
ing.
On motion of Mr.. Blake it was voted
to be the opinion of the board that a
new high school house ought to be erect
ed, the expense to be provided for in
part by the city council in such way as
they may direct.
With regard to the new West school
building, Mr.. Webb stated that this
would be necessity this year to provide
for the wants of the school. The city
owns land in that vicinity. which can be
LII Pun POoSt IL WOk' oAiOuSoAo
that the building could be erected for
about $25, 900, and the estimate con-
templated paying one-half this year and
the balance next year.
On motion of DR.. Thompson, a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Thompson,
Brownson and Bradley was appointed to
investigate the ACCESSIBILITY of changing
the course of studies in the upper gram
mar and lower high school grades, in ac-
cardance with the system now pursued
in some other cities, and said to be an
improvement over what is at present laid
| down.
The request of the high school girls
for modification of the military drill
suitable for their use was considered.
Mr.. Lord thought the plan inexpedient
and it was not granted, but some gymnas-
tic exercises may be introduced later.

CITY ELECTRICIANS REPORT.
Mr.. Cummings Thinks the System Has
Been Improved.

Mr.. Levi L. Cummings. the city cleo
trician last year has handed in this report
of his department:
The condition and operation of our fire
alarm telegraph during the past year has
been very much improved, l am very
glad to say. Inmy last report I spoke
of the new Office apparatus that had been
put in. 1t has worked first class during
the past year, and / am well pleased with
it myself, and I feel that all our citizens
are we'll pleased with the Improvements
that have been made in our fire alarm
telegraph system during the past two
years.
There have been go alarms of fire Civ
en- since April /, 1891 and not one mixed
alarm. This shows the great need there
was for changing our old style of inter-
fering boxes and think that there is no
doubt in the minds of all citizens that
the change was needed and that the mon
ey has been well invested.
During the present municipal year all
the old boxes have been taken out and
new mountaineering boxes put in place
of them.
During the year all but four of the
boxes have been equipped with the small
auxiliary boxes with the key in them
and there has not been a false alarm
while much time and money has been
saved by the prompt sending in OF
alarms.
Three additional street signal boxes
have been added to our fire alarm tele-
graph system. Box 81 is at the corner
of York and Tying streets, box 121 is at
the corner of Howard and Turner streets
and 521 is at the corner of Casco and
Cumberland streets. A few more boxes
are needed and probably will be put in
the coming year. Six large and improved
gongs have been put into the engine and
hook and ladder houses, and one small
gong has been put into the chief engi-
neer's house. Eleven tappers have been
added to the Taper circuit Ten miles
of line have been used to renew old lines
and extend new ones, and probably as
much more will be needed the coming
year. The fire alarm boxes have all been
painted as have the police signal booths,
and nearly all the poles belonging to the
city have been painted and stsnciled as
required by the ordinance. The bell
tower has been moved from the
center of Pearl street to lot of land
hired for five years of the Portland Stove
Foundry Company.
A new style protector, Tightening ar
roster and switch DOarQ, designed Dy
the electrician and built by the Game
well Company, has been added to the
Office apparatus. 1t is recommended
that striker be put into the Ebell tower
of st. Dominics church when the bell is
put in. 1t would give the alarm at night
to business men living in that vicinity
who cannot hear it now, and would give
an alarm on Commercial street while
now it is impossible to hear an alarm
upon High street. The entire cost of
maintaining the system foots up S., 5000.
The electrician says that no friction has
occurred in his relations with the tele-
graph, telephone and electric lighting
companies, and he returns thanks to the
Mayor and City Council for their cordial
support through the year. Mr.. Arthur
R. Jacobs, the assistant, continued to
give perfect satisfaction.

understood the deputy marshal to say
that John Desmond was arrested for re-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Portlan d Girl and Her Rival.

PORTLAND, March 81, 1892.
To the Editor of the Press:
The rivalry between Miss Elinor S.
Moody of this city and Mr.. A. w. Ar
lington of Boston, for the musical and
literary chair in the Ohio Classical Insti-
tute is one of great interest to all con-
cerned. The position has always been
filled by middle aged man, and in this
Mr.. Arlington gains strong point over
Miss Moody. Mr.. Arlington is a fine
teacher of literature and is well educated
in music. Miss Moody is fully equal to
him in literature, and in music is better
prepared for the situation, being a
thorough scholar in every sense of the
word and having the best of references.
She also has the advantage of being very
pleasing PERSONAL---VERY. much SO Mr..
Arlington says, s'to teach in school of
young men anywhere from IS to 80 years
ofage." This is very strong club for
Mr.. Arlington, and he uses it vigorously:
The president and chairman of the board
of directors have called upon both par
ties, and the decision of these two tends
strongly to the election of Miss Moody to
the position, but it has to be brought be-
fore the entire faculty and discussed be-
fore any choice can be made. ***

VARIOUS TOPICS.
A Novel Entertainment for Lady Henry
Somerset--How Prominent Portland
Physician Woos Sleep-Nervousness
Sometimes Betrays Liquor Sellers.


One of the Maine institutions in which
Lady Henry Somerset is most interested
is the prohibitory law. When she be-
gan her work for humanity among the
tenants on her vast estates, one of the
problems that confronted her was the
prevalence of the drinking habit. She at
tackled it in practical way. In 1885, in
the little village of Ledbury, at her cas-
tie gates, Lady Sudbury signed the
pledge with 40 of her tenants. Since
then she has been among the most active
temperance crusaders. She has ex-
pressed a wish while in Maine to wit
ness the execution Of our law; and Sher-
if Cram and his deputies are to afford
her the opportunity of seeing split, some
contraband liquor recently seized.
Those who indulge frequently in
shampoos know how the active rubbing
which the barber gives the scalp, rests
the tired and overworked brain. The
blood is called from the brain to the sur
face, leaving that organ to rest and for
getfulness of it's vexations. There is one
physician in Portland, Woodworking
man with very large practice, who new
er goes to bed at night until he has been
to neighboring barber and had his
head rubbed and shampooed. After this
is done he goes home to sweet sleep and
pleasant dreams.
The men who enforce the liquor law in
this city have some interesting experien-
ces in detecting the small pedlars of
liquor. Many women are selling liquor
from their kitchens. The other day the
deputies raided house where they could
at first find no evidences of liquor. The
woman of the house was standing by the
cradle rocking it, and singing lullaby
to the baby. One of the deputies no.
ticed that the lullaby did not seem to be
sung just right, and his suspicious were
aroused. He watched the woman mo-
ment and then requested her to move.
She did so, disclosing two gallon jug,
over which she had been standing while
she rocked the cradle. Her unsteady
voice in singing the lullaby had given
her away. At another time a regular
bar tender was betrayed by his nervous
ness. When the deputies raided his
place they found him standing behind
his counter munching crackers. They
found no liquor and were about to de-
part when the deputy noticed that the
bartender's mouth was overlooking with
dry cracker, which he was splitting forth
at every breath. He was so nervous
that he forgot to swallow the cracker.
Investigation showed that he was stand
ing over some liquor.
