NEW CASTLE Sept. 2S. 1t is seldom
that a leading politician, who has worked
night and day for the success Of his
party, hustled up votes at the primaries
and hunted down voters TO be registered,
sees the errors of his way at this stage
of the campaign and throws of
his mantle to envelope himself
in the cloak Of the opposing
party. New Castle however, has an
example in the shape of hard working
politician who has denounced bossism
Republicanism, negroism and high tar
iffism and joined the Democratic ranks
TO work for Grover Cleveland and tariff
reform. The following letter explains
itself:
To the Evening Journal
SrRs: Please insert today this announce
menf: This Is 20 notify my friends that /,
John Townsend, n member Of the Republic
can county committee Of New Castle hun
dred, have duly sent my resignation as a
membcrof said committee severed all connec-
tions with that party. and take this means OF
notifying the public that shall support the
Democratic ticket and shall use my influence
and work for the success Of the same.
Now Castle. Sept %. 1872, ''''''
Townsend was elected to the Republi-
can county committee in the spring, de.
feating County Committeeman John q.
King, who ran for re election. He has
been at work nearly every night since
then and has marshaled voters by the
dozen to the primaries and registration
windows. He was an ardent supporter
of Pierce Gould for sheriff, but will now
work for sheriff Toner with as much
zeal as ever.

HANDSOME WINDOWS.
Lace Draperies That Delight the Ladies'
Eyes.

The upper front window on Middle
street, of the Atkinson House Furnish
ing Company's great store, was a blaze
of light last evening, and notwithstand-
ing the rain drew many admirers of the
beautiful draperies therein displayed.
Upon a background of heavy curtains of
rich material and delicate colors, were
draped the dainty lace fabrics of every
form and design. These lace curtains
were of every conceivable pattern, some
as airy in their fneness as Queen Nab S
robes, and others better adapted to the
purses of people of moderate means
The Marie Antoinettes, valued at $50 a
pair, were exquisite in their embroidery.
From that price the scale ran down to
Is cents pair, and these lower priced
goods were yet good enough and pretty
enough to adorn the parlors of people
who carry quite bank account.
just below the window devoted to dra-
peries is the other great plate glass win
dow, and here were shown all the latest
styles in ready-made suits, each ticketed
with its price, and all of them good
enough for anybody. The Atkinson
House Furnishing Company doesn't let
any grass grow under its feet in keeping
up with the displays of the best goods
as made by the great firms in the largest
cities of the country, and this exhibit
stamps the correctness of the statement.

They Drank and ouarreled.

Last evening three young men were
drinking from bottle on Free street.
They soon duarreled and one had
knocked the other down just as Officer
Frank Merrill came along and saw the
PROSTATE form lying in the street with
the other man trying to raise his adver-
sary to his feet. From the good Samari-
tan work the man was doing the officer
didn't imagine he was the assailant. AS
the PROSTATE man was senseless and it
couldn't be ascertained how bad he was
hurt. the patrol was called and the man
taken to the station. Here DR.. Palmer
soon brought the chap to, and found.
with the exception of a slight scratch on
the face he was uninjured. But he was
loaded with "split." He was put in the
cooler

Worlds Fair Arrangements.
The First Snow.

Yesterday morning when the citizens
of Portland looked out of their windows
they were greeted with tn rare sight so
early in November of fast falling snow.
The snow changed to rain at noon, but
about an inch and half of snow fell
before the change and laid on the ground
making We sloppy walking. The wind
was northeast in the morning and
changed to east southeast in the after
noon.
When the temperature was taken by
the signal Office at a. M, the mercury
indicated 800, but the self-registering
thermometer at Swift's jewelry store in
Dictated that the temperature had fallen
at some time in >the early morning to
$50, and thermometers of private indi-
viduals as well as that of the Merchants
Exchange registered 3Oo at 8 a. m.
The harbor was not unusually rough,
but heavy mist lay over the water all
day. Quite number of vessels were
lying at anchor quietly awaiting the es-
sation of the storm.
1t is said there was heavy sea out
side.
The weather bureau reports for the
past 10 years show that the earliest snow
recorded during that time was October
80 and 81, 1884, when snow fell, mixed
with hail and rain, to the extent, all
told, of not more than 25 hundredths of
an inch. Last year the first snow fell
the last of November. In 1890 there was
a trace November -. On November 10,
1889, there were snow,
November II, 1888, .36 of an inch; No
vember II, 1887, LAO inches; November
10, 1886, Is of an inch; November "a and
26, 1885, AZ of an inch; November -,

An order has been issued from the
General Managers office of the Maine
Central of much interest to persons IA
miliar with train arrangements at Leeds
Junction, This order authorizes the use
of the new track which has lately been
built from Leeds junction station to a
point on the Lewiston-Brunswick line
by which the former disadvantage OF
having to run trains from Brunswick
across the main line and up toward
Pennington, then backing down to the
station, or vice versa, is done away with,
and hereafter, trains from all four di-
rections will run direct to the station, a
fact which will doubtless prove pleasing
to the large number of passengers who
patronize that region.
Persons who went to Rangeley this
year, and statistics show there were
about thousand more than ever before,
were not obliged to wait at Leeds juno
ton half hour, as in former seasons,
but kept right on to their destination, a
fact also very much to their liking; and
many more things in the improvement
of this service are promised for another
season.
The Maine Central management is do
ing everything it can to increase the
comfort of travellers to the Rangeley
lakes, and it seems already to be bearing
fruit in the crowded condition of the
lake hotels and the necessity of erecting
additional accommodation in numerous
places.
New Route to Dead River.
The Phillips & Rangeley railroad has
had a highway constructed from it's
Dead River station through to Stratton,
so that, commencing next spring, the
sportsmen frequenting the Dead River
region, Eustis, etc., will find this the
most advantageous route, being some
ten miles shorter than the old route, via
Kingfeld.
Second Glass Tourist Cars.
A line of finely built tourist cars for
immigrant travel is shortly to be estab-
lished between St. John and Boston for
the sole use of holders of second class
tickets. These cars are to be well built,
and supplied with sleeping berths, the
bedding for which must, however, be
supplied by the passenger. This service
will undoubtedly tend to increase the
already large number of immigrants
coming each year,to the states from Cape
Breton, Prince Edward Island, Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick.
Mileage Rates Reduced.
For the last few years the rates for
mileage on the Maine Central railroad
have been gradually coming down until
now it can be said that their rates are
as low as any road in the country. An
order was issued from the passenger
Office yesterday making $500 mile books
which have formerly been sold at two
cents per mile, but good for purchaser
only, now good for bearer.
Worlds Fair Arrangements.
This company is now procuring addi-
tional equipment in the way of locomo-
tives and cars for the immense business
expected next summer in connection
with the World S Fair. Commencing early
in the spring, palace sleeping cars will
leave Portland every morning at $40 a.
m. running through to Chicago allowing
fine views of the White Mountains and
Niagara Falls, features both of which no
other line can offer.
