but not many and there were still some
reminders of last weeks terrible storm.
The truck of the Marine railway ran
off the track, in the morning when half
way up, with the tug Belknap and the
schooner Lila B. Fernald, in the cradle.
This was caused by sand and dirt that was
washed on to the track by the big waves

"THE DEVILS AUCTION"


The we'll known spectacular play, "The
Devils Auction" will be presented at the
Opera house tonight. The Lewiston Jour
nal, speaking of the performance at Music
Hall, Auburn, Monday evening, says:
1t is full of clever specially performers,
handsome women ana beautiful stage pic
lures. TIE audience at Music Hall
was deli. hted. The dancing was a
great feature and the ballets very
p easing. The scope and design of the

Africa. to build Miss oDsry church, the
mat. rial of which would have to be carried
800 miles inland by the natives.
The personnel of the establishment con-
sists of Josiah w. and Algernon S. Bangs,
the proprietors, and ]. W. Bangs son, G.
81. Bangs.
In the Cffice, which is conveniently ar
ranged, well furnished, with desks, type
writer, safe, etc., is Mr.. F. W. Alexander,
the confidential clerk. The foreman of the
frame cutting department is A. L. johnson
who has recently erected house for him
self on Quimby street. Edward H. Gay il
foreman of the frame department, and has
built house of his own on Quimby street.
Tue sash department, one of the largest of
the establishment, is under charge OF
Messrs. Gerow & Ware, both competent
workmen and well able to cond act
the running of that branch. The glazing
department is under supervision OF E. W.
Boynton, who is well known as a labor
expounder and always ready to explain the
principles of the Labor party. The engi-
neer is Frederick X. Neil, late employed as
one of the engineers of the Maine Central
Railroad. The engine and boiler rooms are
composed of brick. The horse power OF
the boiler is 1875 and the engine, which is
the Ide make, double automatic action, is

The help are all Americans, and are in
every sense citizens of Augusta. Me>srs.
Bangs never ask man about his political
views when he begins work, believing that
worth is not confned to party as regards
workm 4nship. :. Both the proprietors are
staunch Republicans and prominent in the
city interests, A. S. Bangs being chairman
of the board of registration and president
of the board of trade. When asked why
they were Republicans one replied that they
fully believed in the protection of American
lnousiri. 8. Both we're born in Maine, have
always lived here and hope to die in the
Pine Tree State
The number of men employed ranges
from IS to GO. A private telephone con-
meets the office with several of the depart

Good Work of the 3. & o. Railroad.

The B. g. o. R. R., the pioneer Of
the American Railway system, has OF
recent years been renewing its youth,
SO to speak, and attracting to its lines
a constantly increasing share OF the
passenger traffic ceaselessly passing
between the cities of thu Atlantic
seaboard and the great Mississippi
Valley. As an evidence of this fact
it NAV be stated that its revenue from
passenger traffic was 81 262, 900 in 1888,
while for the fiscal year ended June
Both, 1898, it rose 70 S6,6lS,000, being
a gain OF over fifty-tive per cent in
the last five years. 1t will be noted
that the last fiscal year ended June
Goth, and that the heavy business to
the Worlds Fair is not included in
the figures, but will 60 to swell the
gross receipts for the fiscal year end
ing June Goth, 1894. No road in
America has had greater experience
than the b. & o. III handling large
volumes of passenger business, and
none is able TO do ii better. Every
four years il il called upon TO trans
port the enthusiastic thousands from
the East, North and West TO and
from the presidential inauguraIs, and
it broke all previous records by IFS
work during the Grand Armv encamp-
nent at Washington, in 1892 Thus
prepared by its past experiences the
b & o. was in position 10 take good
care of the multitudes travelling TO
Chicago during the Worlds Fair, and
while it probably carried 10 aud from
Chicago greater number Of people
than any other road OF equal mileage,
it is gratifying TO be able to state that
not a single Worlds Fair traveller
was killed on the b. i .. SYSTEM

ONE Of the most eloquent speeches
that has been heard in Congress for
a long time was the argument oil
Bourke Cochran last Saturday. The
great New Yorker ably expounded
the Democratic policy of tariff reform
as exemplifed by the Wilson bill, aud
he presented an absolutely unan-
swerable REPUTATION Of the fallacies of
protection such as this country iSno~
enduring. He complimented Mr.
Wilson in the highest terms, and
ended as follows:
las the chairman on the committee
on WAYS and means, the gentleman
from West Virginia Mr.. WILSON,, has
stood here In the House and launched
the tariff bill on its successful voyage.
as he stood here and withstood the
angry protests of some men in his
own State, some Of whom added
threats to remonstrances, certainly
we. who have less TO lose, can do the
same" Loud Democratic applause. ]
The Wilson bill, he added, was a
step in the direction of economic re-
form and the commercial freedom OF
the country. Let US pass the bill,
he continued, "aud promise you that
it will take more than six months OF
hard times to put soup kitchens in
every city. Applause Mr.. Wilson
told us, in words which will last long
after he has disappeared from this
scene OF his activity, which he has
done so much 10 adorn-he has told
US that the prosperity OF this country
depends not on its mines, but on its
men; not on the Republican party
but on Almighty God. Loud ap'

Desperate Fight With Outlaws.

Information has been received at
Weston, this State, of the apprehen
sion of Calvert aud Hennon Fleming,
two notorious outlaws for whom the
State of Virginia offers a reward of
So 900 and the county Of Wise $500
They are charged with having com
mItten FIVE different murders, and
several highway robberies are also
alleged against them,
The Fleming brothers have been
fugitives from justice long time.
They successfully evaded the officers
of the law. and made their way over
land TO Boggs, this State, in the
mountains OF West Virginia, where
they believed themselves to be safe
On Saturday evening they stopped al
the store OF John Boggs, about nine
miles from Cowen, a station on the
West Virginia aud Piedmont Railroad
IN which store the poStotfice for the
village was kept.
The outla VS. had been traced to this
neighborhood by four officers from
Virginia, who were seeking then
arrest. While the Flemings, who
were going under different aliases
were engaged in making some
purchases at the store. the officer:
came in and readily Identified them
They demanded an immediate surren
der. but the desperadoes resisted
arrest and opened fire upon theil
pursuers. Shots were returned by
the officers and fierce conflict fol
life spsued.
Calvert Fleming was killed and hi:
brother Hennon was mortally wound

He is still alive, but cannot recover

PROTECTION AND THE FARMER.

While the Wilson bill may not be
a perfect measure, and while every
one has the unquestionable right to
criticize if. no one has the right to
make il appear worse than 1t is, nor
can any good purpose be served there
bv. The Farmers Adrocdte OF last
week asks how Mr. Wilson is sub
serving the interests of his farmer
constituents by putting every raw
material produced by the farmer, and
every raw material in the production
of which the farmer is directly or ill.,
directly interested, on the free list
The falacy involved in the asking OF
such u question ought not TO need
further exposure at this late day OF
tariff discussion. Everyone knows
that all that the farmer produces Is
produced in excess of the demand 10"
his products in this country and that
he must seek Il market abroad for the
surplus. While this continues to be
the case wheat, corn, pork and beeI
can never be imported into this coun-
try for food; and if none of the raw
materials produced by The farmer can
he imported, how can it make any
difference whether they are on the
free list or subjected to duty OF cent
mar cent? We have answered the Ad-
rocate'S question; will it answer this
one of ours?
Though putting farm products on
the free list can have absolutely no
effect upon their price. there Is TINS
good reason for doing so, namely
That the protectionists imposed u
duty upon them SO that when the
long-suffering farmer should complain
that he was being mercilessly taxed
for the benefit Of manufacturers, they
would be able to say TO him, behold,
have we not in our wisdom dealt 6y
YOU precisely as we have with the
manufacturer and have given your
products protection in like measure
as il has been bestowed upon his?'
Will anyone say that this claim is toe
absurd on the face OF ii to deceive
any? We ask in reply, what but the
idea which this claim conveys could
have inspired the AdrOCate'S question
