HANGED himself in His Mill.

Chesterville, August Sat the usual
hour Wednesday morning, Mr.. George l..
Riggs arose, went to the tannery, and in
the chamber of the brick building com.
mitted suicide by hanging. Not return-
ing to the house as was his custom, his
son-in-law, Mr.. j. c. Stevens, began to
look for him, and receiving no informa-
ton from his enquiries, a further search
found him as above stated. Mr..
Riggs had been in successful business as
tanner and farmer at Chesterville for
more than 40 years, and no man has
done more to assist moral and religious
enterprise than he. He leaves one
daughter, three little grandchildren, a
brother, Mr.. A. S. Riggs Of Pennington,
and several sisters. The entire eommu-
nifty is in mourning. His age was 70

Something About the National Commits

AS we will have more world,s fairs
in the future, having had but three up
to date, it might be well for some one
to compile the story OF the obstruc-
tions, misdirections and false starts in
the present expensive fair.
observe that the national commits
sion, so-called. has a political flavor
about it. Unless men are rich, or live
frugally, they are not going to bestow
six months of their time upon the mere
matter of awards at fair, unless they
have somebody to serve, or some no.
tions of recompense.
The Philadelphia fair of 1875 was
marked by the same imperfect
confidence between the local boards
and the national board. The Phila-
delphians who had to raise the money
for the fair, and whose genius and en-.
ergy raised the great buildings there,
looked askance upon the outsiders who
came clothed with a national badge.
remember that Dobbins, the builder
of the large buildings, said: ''We can
get along with Goshorn: but, my God,
don't send us anybody else?'
Having disturbed the fair to the
height of their powers, the so-called
national commission and congress
turned their backs upon it at the con-

THERE WE'RE RAzoRs IN THE AIR.
Mr.. Quinn Wanted More to Eat, and
There Were Lively Times in the Hotel.

Asbury Park, N. j., August 3.-John
a. Quinn, the well known turfman, was
arrested last night, charged with ASSAULT
ing colored waiter in the dining room
of the Plaza Hotel.
Quinn and waiter, George Willis
Field, became engaged in war of words
because the attendant removed dish
from the table before Quinn had partak-
en- of it. The horseman picked up a
chair and struck the waiter over the
head. Fields colored friends came to
the rescue and hurled dishes and glass;
es at his assailant.
Razors were drawn, and in the fight
Quinn was badly cut on the wrist. This
SO angered him that he rushed out OF
the dining room and got revolver from
his sleeping apartment. Returning to
the dining room, he brandished his pis.
toll and searched for Field, but he had
gone away.
The other walters scampered at sight
of the revolver, and rushed for the Office.
Quinn followed, pistol in hand, looking
for Field.
The guests of the house were now
thoroughly alarmed, and several of the
ladies screamed and swooned. The pro-
prietor of the hotel called for the police,
and half dozen bluecoats were on the
spot. Founder Bradley accompanied
them, and ordered them to arrest Quinn.
The order was obeyed, and the turfman
was taken to the town lookup.
A justice of the peace was summoned.
and after a preliminary hearing Quinn
was placed under bonds to appear for
further hearing.
The melee caused great excitement
about the hotel and on the streets. At
one time there were fully thousand
people in front of the hostelry, where
the fight occurred.
Quinn, with two brothers, has been
| here all summer.

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

People who have visited the Worlds
Fair and admired the statue of mount
ed knight of heroic size in the California
building made entirely of prunes and
other small fruit which is grown in the
that Maine man was one of the exhibit
tors of it. He is Ephraim Thomas, for
merly of Hope, and he is now here with
his wife on visit to his old home. His
present residence is in Santa Clara Coun-
ty, Cal, the centre of this rich fruit sec
iton. The work of Maine men is appar-
ent in about everything that one sees
from other States.
The Corinna authorities are having
considerable trouble in maintaining
bridge at North Corinna over a stream
between two ponds. The foundation is
in a mud hole the depth of which has
not yet been ascertained, although urg-
emit efforts in that direction have been
made. Tons of stone have been dumped
into it and yet the hard bottom has not
been reached. County Commissioner w.
1. Wood and one of the selectmen of the
town recently went to the place and in
searching for the hard bottom drove a
piece of gas pipe into the hole to depth
of 81 feet, but its free progress was not
interrupted even at that depth. AS the
bridge is great convenience some means
to maintain it will be found and it is
not proposed to lose any more Of the
Corinna population in the hole than is
necessary.
The congregational parish at Augusta,
of which Rev. J IS. Williamson, k:pastor,
has freed itself of debt, the announce
ment of subscriptions amounting to $4,000
and sufficient for that purpose having
been made by Rev. Mr.. Williamson during
the Sunday services. The parish has
raised for all purposes the sum of $50, ia
during the past five years, which is
considered a very handsome showing and
Rev. Mr.. Wiliamson's friends will congrat-
ulate him upon the strength exhibited.
The pulp shipping experiment. from
Bangor is being watched with consider
able interest by the many Bangoreans who
are engaged in that line of manufactures.
Aside from the product OF the Veazie
mill the cargo is being made up BY ship
'ments from the Moosehead Pulp q Paper
Co. IS establishment at Scion, coming in
lots of six carloads and Mr.. D. Z. Mills,
the manager of that plant, was in Bangor
Tuesday on business connected with 1T.
Across the water little account is made of
ground wood pulp owing to the extreme
scarcity of the stock and the demand
for it from the chemical mills and
should this shipment be profitable it
may be the means of building up quite
an export trade from Bangor and at the
same time boom our pulp mill business
to a still greater extent Everybody is
hoping that Mr.. Clergue and his associ-
ates, who are undertaking this, may make
small fortune on every cargo. The sup
ply of pulp mill stock in Maine is almost
inexhaustible with the present facilities
for consuming it and we could spare our
European neighbors any amount of pulp
for years to come.

ENGLISH YAcHTsMEN ELATED.
They Declare the Navahoe Unsafe Be-
cause of an Accident.

London, August 3-When the starting
gun was fired at ten O'Clock the Satanita
and Valkyrie were we'll under way and
they practically crossed the line together
The American yacht Navahoe followed
them closely and she in turn was fol-
lowed by the Calluna A strong westerly
wind was blowing and constantly gaining
in force. Just after the start it gained
sudden accession of strength and blew a
gale. The Nayahoe got the best posi-
tion to windward and retained this ad-
vantage until Leep Shoal was reached.
At this point the observers on shore saw
her suddenly heel over until her rail was
well under, and everybody thought she
was going to turn completely over. Her
main sheet was paid out quickly, ana
she soon righted. She made a second
attempt to catch up with the leaders, but
her mainsail fell. 1t is learned that the
breaking of the jaws of her gait was the
cause of the mainsail dropping.
After little delay and apparently
much excitement on board the malnsall
was again hoisted as wei! as could pc
done under the circumstances, and under
double reefs the Navahoe headed up for
Southampton water, evidently going to
Southampton for repairs. 1t is officially
stated that the Navahoe is at full liberty
to alter her centreboard as Mr.. Carroll,
her owner, pleases.
English yachtsmen who have been
watching the performance of the Nava-
hoe with critical eyes are now emphatic
in their opinion that she is useless in a
stiff breeze. The advocates OF the superb
GRITTY of English built racers are much
elated at the poor showing OF the Nava-
hoe in today's gale.
The Calluna also met with an accident.
She fouled the steam yacht Cleopatra
broke her gaff and tore her mainsail.
She was therefore compelled to give up
the contest. The Satanita and Valkyrie
sailed well in the heavy wind. The for
mer crossed the finish line eight minutes
ahead of the Valkyrie.
The course was covered in the quick
est time on record. The yachts finished
at the following time: Satanita, 1 :42:15;
| Valkyrie, 1:50:30.
The Satanita allows the Valkyrie two
minutes and fiva seconds and therefore
she actually won the race by six minutes
and ten seconds.
The Prince of Wales and the German
Empeor were on board the Valkyrie
| during the race.
Makes Skipper Barr Smile.
Boston, August 3-Captain John Barr
the Navahoe, told today of the British
reports about the Navahoe's nearly foun-
dering. He laughed at the idea and said |:
"It's nonsense to think of such thing.
She won't capsize, neither will any of
the rest of them. The British boats are
no safer than she is, and in my opinion
