A STATEMENT
Made By Willard L. Twomb1y to a Press
Reporter.

A reporter for the PRESS called at the
police station yesterday and was asked
by Mr.. Twombly-the young man ar
rested for nonfulfilment of insurance
contracts-to make some statements OF
his public. MI. Twombly said:
II have the documents in my posses
sion to show I was the authorized agent
OF the American Employees Liability
Company of New Jersey for Maine dated
about the first Of August, 1892, and that
contract did not expire until last Janu-
airy, when was suspended. The reason
why was suspended was because my
contract allowed me $40 month for ex-
penses. The company owed me over
a months expenses, and l took the
money to reimburse myself out of the
money paid me in premiums. l have
not made any new policies since my con-
tract with the company expired in Janu-
airy. There has been no intention of
fraud on my part and l am willing to
settle up all matters in justice to all par
ties interested.
Monday afternoon if Mr.. Stickney had
delivered message from me to a friend
of mine as he promised shouldn't have
been in prison today. He failed to keep
his word and so | could not get bail
Monday evening. A friend of mine will
bail me out tonight. If Mr.. Stickney
wishes to settle this matter according to
the agreement he made Monday, and ac-
cording to the certificate of the doctor
for the time he has been disabled, am
willing to settle it. but if he is disposed
to be ugly | will meet him on the same
footing and he may look to my attorneys,
Messrs. Frank and Larrabee.
The city marshal has seen my papers
and says he can see no reason why I am
not legally constituted representative
OF the insurance company.
The Portland Rolling Mills employees
are all right and all business transacted
with them was settled satisfactorily to
them and to my company. In regard to
the employees of Quinn & Co., the two
men | settled with were the two men
who returned their policies as is re-
quired. The three men I did not settle
with could not return their papers as re-
quired in their contracts. The man at
Quinn's who was hurt was paid in full
and the policy continues. The Jones'
Garland case was settled satisfactorily
to Mr.. Jones and his employees.
Mr.. Twombly had not secured bail at
late hour last evening.

were extremely attractive in their floral
adornments, while the slilful draping of
bunting of varied shades and the hun
dreds of colored electric lights gave
fairy like effect to the scene. At one
end of the hall the monogram P. G.
blazed in colored fires. Plates were
laid for $50 and every seat was occupied.
Caterer Geo, D. Robinson prepared this

Masonic Asylum on Exchange street
was a blaze of light last evening. The
air was heavy with the perfume of flow
ers. Beautiful women, handsomely
gowned, moved through the spacious
apartments, escorted by gallant Sir
Knights of Portland Commandery dressed
in the rich regalia Of the order, to the
delicious music of Chambers full orches-
ira. 1t was an event long to be remem-
bered by all the participants for the COM
mittee had spared no expense nor trouble
to make 'ladies' night complete sue
cess, and they succeeded admirably.
1t was about 7.30 p. m. when the first
carriage drove up to the door and it was
after $50 when the last of the guests as
cended the long iron stairway leading to
the Asylum. Upon reaching the grand cor
ridor the ladies were escorted to the
large parlor off the armory which was
used for dressing room on this occa-
sion and removed their wraps, and then
joined their escorts, and proceeded to
Tyrian hall where they were received by
the reception committee composed of
these gentlemen:

marquee that had been erected there to
partake of some delicious lemonade, and
then entered the grand and stately
Corinthian hall where they took seats for
the entertainment that followed. These
were the ladies who were the guests of
the Commandery:

nardinO Home
The gruffest sea dog and the most Sc
date customs officer grew young again
yesterday forenoon, at the astonishing
spectacle presented in the vicinity of the
English steamers. The Labrador had
arrived, and with her two hundred and
fifty little boys. The youngest little fel-
low seemed hardly more than five years
of age, and the larger number were only
five or six years older. Each little boy
wore a Tam O. Shanter on his head,
looked important in little jacket and
corduroy breeches, and carried his world
" goods in a little trunk on which was
inscribed his name. A healthier, Jolller
crowd of boys was never seen in this
port. The sailors, trainmen and customs
officers straightway wanted to adopt all
of them that they could, and if the boys
had not been hurried off towards Canada
on q Grand Trunk special about noon,
there is no doubt that several families IN
this region would have been suddenly en-
larged. As the boys left the Labrador
they gave three cheers for the captain,
three cheers more for the ship, and last
ly and with will, three more cheers for
the cook.
With tue cook the boys were on very
good terms all the way over. Their din
ner was very pleasing sight. They
dined hundred at time in the steer
age. As soon as they were seated at the
table. and at a word from the officer in
charge, every boy closed his eyes and
they all united in hym of thanks.
These boys are from the famous Ber-
nardo home in London. This famous
home is named from it's founder and
manager, native of Dublin, but man
of Jewish descent. He has built up the
home himself and has made it one OF
the greatest charitable institutions in the
world. 1t is an enlarged goodwill en-
terprise. Every year about a thousand
of these boys are sent from the home to
Canada, whence they are distributed to
good homes throughout the Dominion.
Inc boys are the Walls OIL EnSid coi-
lected from the poor quarters of Lon
don, Birmingham, Manchester and else
where. No distinctions are made as to
race or creed, although the names on the
trunks yesterday showed that the boys
were generally English. They are kept
in the home for time until they have re-
ceived training and then are sent back
to the colonies.
The home is supported entirely by vol
untary contributions 1t is said that its
work is done very scientifically, and that
record is kept of every boy, not only as
to what he does in the future. but of all
ascertainable facts abont his ancestors,
even to the third generation back.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Senator.

'sThe Senator is, above all things. a
typical American play, of which the ma
ton has right to be proud. It is the
work of two young men, David D. Lloyd,
who died before seeing the wonderful
result of his labors, and Sydney Rosen-
field, who drew their Inspiration wholly
from native sources. The records of
Congress furnished the data from which
they worked, and they set about con-
STRUGGLING a play which should deal
plainly with certain governmental abuses
which required reforming. The story fol-
lows very closely the actual facts of the
Armstrong claim against the Government
for damages, arising out of the war of
1912. The Denman claim in the play is
a just one, but it has been delayed for
years by Congressional red tape, until
hope has well nigh fed from old Denman,
who has grown poor in his struggle to
secure his rights. At this point the story
of the play opens, and the SENATOR ap-
pears on the scene. He undertakes to
press the claim and he does solby heroic
measures. The development of the work
shows in plain colors some of the imper-
fections, to use no stronger word, of
Congressional methods, and the play
serves strong purpose in pointing the
way to sadly needed reforms.
Mr.. Louis Aldrich as the Senator con-
vulses his audience with laughter at
every stage of the play, but his versatility
is such that at times one hardly knows
whether to laugh or to cry. HE pathos
is as remarkable as his humor, and the
two combined stamp him.as an actor of
great merit. The supporting company is
said to be very strong. The tickets are
ready at the theatre for the Friday and
Saturday performances.
Patience and Mikado.
There has already been great demand
for seats for the performances of spa
tience'' and ''Mikado' at Stockbridge's.
The best solo and singing club talent in
the city has been secured for the princi-
pals and chorus, beautiful costumes are
being made, a large and efficient orches-
ira under Grimmer has been obtained,
and Mr.. Gilbert, whose long acquaintance
with Gilbert & Sullivan's productions
has made him the best stage manager of
their operas, has the entertainments well
in hand, while Mr.. Will Stockbridge di-
reefs the music. The seating of the hall
with opera chairs in place of those hard
settees will be a great feature. Half fare
and late trains will be provided on all
the railroads. Those who fail to get
seats now will be badly left.
Gospel Mission Concert.
There will be concert given this even
ing for the benefit of the Gospel Mission
music fund at the Gospel Mission hall.
A fine entertainment will be offered and
the proceeds will go to a most worthy
object.
This will be the programme:

Messrs. Ramsay and Ballord the florists

taste shown in their floral display in the

BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL.
WASHINGTON. d. c.. Sept.


The president and Secretary Carlisle
are giving close attention now to the
proposition TO repeal the 10 per cent.
tax on state banks. The democratic
leaders in financial legislation In both
houses are studying the subject also.
I'D to this time President Cleveland has
taken no active part in any Of the in
formal conferences held on the subject,
but he has talked encouragingly to sew
eral southern leaders who favor the re-
peal Of the prohibitive tax. To one Of
these he said recently: II do not see
why this tax should not be repealed"
It is believed the president takes very
conservative ground on the subject He
probably believes. like most of the lead
ing democrats who favor it. that IL the
government repeats the prohibitive tax
81 should not surrender federal control
over state bank issues; that all state
currency should be issued on securities
deposited IN the treasury and subject
70 federal approval. The comptroller Of
the currency would probably also exer-
else supervision over state banks to
degree. just as he now does over the
national banks.
Congressman Oates Of Alabama called
at the white house this morning at the
request OF the president, who had talk
with him on the subject Of the state
bank tax repeal. Il am not at lbertv

THE MARKET REPORTS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-The improved
bank statement gave strength TO the
markets here today. Firmness without
activity was the general feature. Wheat
gained from k@5sc. September corn
dropped &c; May rose small fraction;
provisions were held higher, particularly
for September. Wheat opened k6Lc
higher and a further improvement Of Il
@9sc was gained. with fair activity at
the advancing scale. During the later
part of the session the feeling was not
so strong and prices settled BGKc.
though the market closed with consider
able steadiness. The disposition to trade
was restricted by the prospective Holt
day here Monday. Operators are cal
culating on a moderate increase in the
visible supply on Tuesday-possibly $780,
900 bu.
The decline in corn is explained by the
fact that the heavy estimates of today
receipts made yesterday were under the
actual arrivals which amounted to 757
cars. compared with $50 estimated. Re
ceivers report freer deliveries from farm
ers in Illinois and Indiana, which rather
conflicts with what was expected in
view Of the varying reports Of the growing
crops Of those states. The cash demand
was not quite up TO its recent urgency.
Prices were confined to &c range. In
oats the feature was the increased offer
ings of September by parties who have
been buying Of late. There was no sup
port until the afternoon prices
had declined sc for Septem-
Der and 2sc for May, when
the buying increased and prices rallied

Provisions gained nothing in activity

light stocks held here. Closing prices
were the highest of the day. Compared
with last night, September pork is W
Coo. September lard 271hc and September
ribs 12iAc. More distant futures changed
but little.
Vessel room was in light demand and
rates unchanged at 1Iac for wheat and
