An attempt will be made to have some
of the dangerous inmates at the hospital
who have been there for years and who
are incurable, sent to Thomaston, as
menacing the well being of the inmates

Council are said to hold that where in

lum, the time spent there is not to be
considered as a part of their sentence.
Such a rule will be surprise to the
friends of many of the convicts,

Human Flesh Does Not petr,fv.

Fertilization issimply the substitution
of inorganic for organic matter, atom by
atom. This process of transformation
is unthinkably slow. AS molecule of
wood or bone decays molecule of stone
takes it's place. This can only occur
when the air, earth or water surround
ing the organic substance in question
holds in solution some mineral which is
readily precipitated. In the case of either
wood or bone, while decomposition is
going on, there yet remains a framework
or fiber, the interstices of which NAV
gradually be filled by the mineral sub
stance--with flesh, be it human or ami
NAL, no such framework exists. The
very rapid decay of flesh also makes it
impossible for the very slow process of
petrifaction to have any effect in the
way of making transformation
The stories of petrifed bodies being
found in graveyards are usually ''faked
up by some imaginative reporter who
wishes to lengthen his string" It is
true, however, that the bodies of human
beings have been frequently found in
crusted with a silicious substance SO as
to resemble real petrifactions in every
particular. st. Louis Republic.

THEY BRAcED UP.
A Talk With the Manager Helped the
Portlands to Victory.

Evidently the executive session be-
tween the Portland ball players and their
manager yesterday morning was useful
for the game the home team put up
against the Brocktons yesterday after
noon was fine effort and in marked con-
tr,lst to the preceding one. Both Mains
and Doe had terrific speed, but the lat
ter was well-nigh invincible. Mahoney.
our new catcher, had sensational in
troductory to Portland audience. He
caught and threw to perfection, but no
better than Platt has repeatedly DONE
He made home run with the ball inside
OF the fence, but he was greatly aided by
Ryan's misjudgment of the hit.
The Portlands played with snap and
vim that was decidedly welcome Deady's
throwing was wonderful and Rogers and
Burns participated in a lightning double
play. Clymer played great game, as
Gid catcher Blake of the visitors. Platt s
batting and throwing was par excellence,
and Clymer made hair-raising running
AAAAAAoS eoAoo PAdyCo SI6dL Udll
and Mains, Ryan, Deadly and Platt led
the hitters.
The Portlands got the lead in the first
when Deadly hit for three bases and Burns
singled him IN. Rogers flied out and
Smith hit to Kirmes. who threw Burns
out at second. Smith stole second
and Clymer hit to Kirmes. The latter
threw wild and Smith and Burke scored.
Clymer took second and tailed on Mains
single. Four runs for starter.
A lightning play occurred in the sec
ond. Fitzgerald led off with single
and then Dan Burke hit a scorcher to
Burns. Burns threw to Rogers and
caught Burke and then Rogers laced the
ball back to Burns in time to catch Fitz-
gerald making double play.
The Brocktons got their only runs in
the fourth on singles by Clark, Ryan and
fitzgerald and Rogers's muff.
The rest of the story can be cleaned
from the score.
The Lewistons are here TODAY and if
the Portlands keep the pace they cut YES

THE NEWS IN RooKLAND.
To Enforce Fishery Laws-Peop1e Lacking

Especial to the Press. ]

RoCKLAND. June ga corporation of
more than ordinary importance known
as the Maine Shore Steamboat Company
was formed here this afternoon. The Of
ficers are as follows:
President-,Col. William H. Fogler.
Treasurer-Ralph r. Ulmer
Clerk-True P. Pierce.
y DirectorsnP. 2. Gilman, Bucksport; Josiah
Bqrnham, Portland; E. w. Gould, Thomaston
william Il. Fogler, and Sheriff j. Warren Gray
Rockland
The ostensible purpose of the company
is shore fishery. Its real purpose is said
to be the enforcement of the fishery laws.
The steamer Protector, originally built
by II. P. c. Wright of this city, has been
purchased and is now at Bangor re-
ceiving, among other machinery, new
Fowler boiler, the first to be used in the
state. The owners of the boat believe
that there will be none faster than she
on this coast.
Freeman N. Smith of this city and
Mrs. Matilda H. Gushing of Hyde Park,
were united in marriage this morning.
The ceremony took place at the residence
of Rev. VIM. Kimmel, who officiated.
The conference of the Maine PEOPLES
party held at the Knox County Court
House in this city today did not amount
to much. There were less than dozen
OF the party members present and the
forenoon session was spent in reading
kilograms and letters from L. G..
Bateman and others who were
unable to be present. Unlimited plans
for the next campaign were discussed,
bnt no action whatever was taken. 1t is
very probable that L. G. Bateman will be
renominated for governor in 1894 while
Weaver and Field are favorably men
toned for 1896 Norman w. Lermond,
ex-candidate for Congress from this dis
trict, presided today.
British schooner Alpharetta reports

Island, the foreboom jibed, knocking a
