Especial to the PRESS.)
Augusta, Decem Der 20. Colonel &c.
harrington, Inspector General OF rlhe
practice, has submitted his annual re-
port. In the beginning OF the report
Colonel Harrington says: Il have the
honor to submit my report Oh rihe prac-
tee, together with some recommends
tions regarding the future woTk IN tnis

tentlon TO the continued increase IN VI
interest and efficiency OF 'tns natlonal
guard. The standard OF eIlciency Is
greater than ever before, the returns Oh

| mem bered that four new companies nave

knowledge i'll rife pracUlce Inc Whoie

ment, as shown upon the returns maze
to me at the close of the practice season

mum Der in the Second Regiment as re-
turned, is 500, making total OF ll4I.
Company G, of Biddeford has first
rank, having qualified all of It's men.
! Company K. OF Calais holds first place
in the state, having qualited all OF us
81 members, many OF them having
high grade of excellence"
Colonel harrington thus speaks OF the
Portland companies:
Company A-This company has In
creased its efficiency from 41.66 per cent
of marksmenstos93 rs, and takes second
place IN the reglment. Zoo much credit
| cannot be given the officers, and espec-
tally Corporal Charles Baker. the able
inspector of rife practice.
Company B-Thls company mas %
men on the rolls, and has 30 qualified
| marksmen, and although occupying
third place in the regiment, in fact has
| more marksmen than any other compa
ny. Captain Baker has shown himself
to be most able instructor in rifle prac-
tice. and may well be proud OF his COM
pany.
Company E-This company has more
than dou bled it's number OF markSmen,
and now has ~ per cent of marksmen.
1t is hoped that another year Will md
Captain Hogan able to take still nigh
er rank in the regiment.
Company L-This is another OF the
new companies, and for the first year
has done very well. Captain Conley and
his officers have done considerable hard
work in their endeavor to secure good
standing. and with the experience OF the
past season, it may be expected that lib
eral gains Will be made another season.
The rest of the report is confined to
the eff cient work of the Maine State
rife team at Sea Grit. Nd. this fall.
1t is very interesting document, aud
| will be read with pleasure by the militia
ry men ofEthe state.
Colonel harrington attributes as the
reason for SO much interest and advance
ment in. the national guard to the con-
slant interest taken in the work by the
governor, Hon. Henry B. Cleaves. and
the wise administration of affairs by
General Conner. Since he has been
connected with the guard of Maine,
some thirteen years. he has never seen
SO great zeal shown by the officers and
men.

| a decided Improvement. Our suggestions
and recommendations have been cheer
fully complied with by county omcers.
The jails with one or two exceptions
have been kept in good condlt!on VIII
the prisoners properly classlhea ana
well cared for.
Eight counties now clothe their PRISON
ers in convict suits, and with SAUSAGE
tory results in every way.
Aroostook and Knox counties nave
erected and equipped suitable sheds ana
yards for tt employment of tramps, al
breaking stone, which has resulted IN a
decided decrease of tramp commitments
In those counties. We have advised the
county officers in some of the other
counties to adopt similar method OF
employing tramps, and arrangements are
now being made with that end in view.
There have been GIG commitments for
all crimes during the year ending.Novem-
her Both, 1894, of which 263 were females,
933 were tramps and 107 were poor debt
ors; 2S0S were committed for drunken
ness, 240 for selling intoxicants, and 20o6
for non-payment of fines.
We find that a large number OF those
committed for drunkenness were tramps.
In some of the counties the expenses at
tending the arrest and commitment OF
tramps has become very burdensome
and REQUIRES, in our Judgment some leg
islative action. We would respectfully
suggest for the consideration of the leg
islature, that chapter 288 of the publlc
laws OF 1889 be so amended as to give
judges of municipal courts and trial
Justices jurisdiction under that act in
order that they may be enabled to i'm
pose the penalties therein provided for
tramps instead of binding the mover to
a higher tribunal as they are now obliged
to.
The laws governing the transfer OF
prisoners from one Jail to another, when
jails become overcrowded, should. in our
iudgm emit, be so amended as to allow
the inspectors to remove prisoners to
such iails as they may deem best and
not be confined to tine selection of work
jals as the law now provides. This
matter was called sharply to our atten-
tion in one instance during the past year,
when we found 103 prisoners confined i'll
a Jail containing ten cells There are
but three work jails in the State, and
those being located in our large counties,
usually contain as many prisoners as
they can we'll accommodates ii in such
transfers as the law contemplates, the
inspectors were allowed by law to use
their discretion, better results would be
accomplished and. with less expense to
the counties requesting such transfers.
The whole number Of persons in the Gum
berland county jail November 30, 1898, was
1888; whole number, November 80, 1894, was
127; whole number for the years. 1916. Of
whom 1894 were males aid 162 females. OF
tramps there were 1876; poor debtors 10; for
drunkenness 664; for selling intoxicants II.

SCHOOL BOYS DID 1T,
Tried to Wreck the Boston and Main.
Train Out of Revenge.

Peabody, Mass, December 20.-Kenneth
Belmer and Chester Palmer, 13-year-old
boys, were in court this morning, charged
with attempted train wrecking at Lynnfield
on the Boston and Maine road several
weeks ago. -Four fish plates were found
tightly wedged into a switch in such a man.
..er that. trac kmen say, would have derailed
train if they had not been discovered in
season. They were found ana removed just
before the train was due.
Young Belmer has confessed that he at
tempted 10 throw the Is train from the track
that his object was to try to kill Miss
Rowland, teacher of Lynnield. who had
assisted another teacher in whipping the
boys, and who rides daily to her home in
Wakefield in train. Belmer says he and
the Palmer boy. after talking the matter
over, went up the track and drove the fish
plates between the rails. They then went
10 their homes near by and listened for the
crash which did not come. Miss Rowland
was not in the train that was endangered.
but in one following it some minutes later.

The Banner points with pride to its
advertising patrons this week, and
while it commends the names ofevery
firm in our columns, it cannot refrain
from mentioning the great Southern
Furniture House of E. L. Root & Co.,
whose half page adj, announcing the
sale of car load of genuine, solid oak
bed room sets of three pieces for Sl4.9S,
a corker. Such goods and such
prices need no comment. Read the
ad. Besides these unprecedented bar
gains, they have a hundred desirable
holiday articles in their line that you
must inspect to appreciate their worth.
Their competitors IN the furniture
line, Messrs. Mccall & Spar, are so
busy that their stunning ad. doesn't tap
pear this week, only general remind
er that they are still in the commercial
ring, and not in the least disfigured.
The Brown Bros, proprietors of the
unequalled Tea Pot Grocery, are out in
a brand new adj, filed with the most
inviting Of holiday eatables, and who
would not indulge in the best, for does
not good food promote the best of good
cheer and good win toward their fell
low men.

full of the wants of the public and are
not hiding their commercial light I'M

els Of advertising space, suggestive of

living. They can feed and clothe yc4.
What more do you want.
Again the Banner commends all its
advertisers, whether large or small,
and wherever the readers of the paper
win spend their money, they can rest
assured they are dealing with fair,
square business men, who appreciate
prompt paying customers, and always
propose to give the buyers the worth
Of their money.

In this terrible shock that has come

The city election of Tuesday was
one of tho most interesting and exeit-
ing that has taken place for many a
day. This largely arose from the fact
that there existed great unrest among
our tax payers because Of the lavish
manner in which the city council had
disposed Of the money.
The greatest interest centered in the
second ward, where the fred hotp re-
formers wanted change, and got it
in the person of John w. Pearson,
who defeated A. H. Birdsey in a vote
Of y to O., a vote twice as large as was
polIed In 1898.
In the third ward George MacKay
defeated j. A. Pittman, As to 80 votes.
In the fourth ward +. w. Agnew de-
feated Peter Ingram, Go to 20.
In the first ward Will Hooker had
no opposition and had a walk over.
The only opposition Mr.. John g..
Reardon had for mayor was in the
person of Mr.. Edward Spencer, whom
he defeated by vote of 213 to "A.
The election will make the following
changes in the city council: Mr.. VIII
Hooker will take Mr.. f. A. leagues
place; Mr.. Pearson will relieve Mr..
Al Birdsey, and Mr.. Agnew will take
H. L. Anderson's place.
Now let us be patient and see what
the council of 1895 will do for OcaIa.
One Of the amusing incidents of the
city election it is said arose from the
fact that an enthusiastic Birdsey sups
porter from the second ward, a leader
in foot gear in the commercial world
in Ocala, sent for man at Summer
fed and paid his expenses, only to
find when he got here that he had no
vote in the second ward. The incl
dent created much merriment.

Worlds Fair Officials Expose Pretsn-
der ia Al Award.

CHICAGO, Ill. Dec. Nth. One Of
the odd results Of the Worlds Fair is
the claim now made to awards by
some who were not even exhibitors.
Officials of the exposition have not as
yet taken final action in the matter,
believing the quick wit Of the people
will detect the spurious claims. But
to the case of New York baking pow
der, that has been widely advertising
an award, the attention. of tile Chief
Of Awards for Agriculture, has been
directed. He brands the claim OF this
pretender as false, declaring "Neither
the records of this department, nor the
official catalogue of the Worlds Co
lumbian Exposition, show that this
New York Company was ain exhibitor;
consequently it could not receive an
award at the Worlds Fair
Those who fairly won their honors
at the Fair seem disposed to treat this
fraud as any other fraud should be
treated. The Price Baking Powder
Company, of Chicago, having received
the highest award, say they are con-
WINGED their claims, and those of all
other holders of rightful honors, will
be fully indicated by the public.
