A Maine Stage Line.

There is a cross country stage limo
from Abbott Village, Me-, on the Pts
cataquis river, to Bingham, on the Ken
nebec, the only intervening settlements
being Kingsburg and Mayfeld, both
such small villages that they are scarce
ly distinguishable from the surrounding
country. The length of the route is
over 25 miles, and it is doubtful if there
are many more than so occupied dwell
ing houses on the main road along the
iine.-Lewiston Journal.

Arizona Rubies.

The finest known garnets are obtained
in the country of the Navajo nation in
northwest New Mexico and northeast Ari-
IONA, where they are collected from ant
hills and scorpions nests by the Indians
and by soldiers stationed at adjacent forts.
The insects and arachnids mentioned fetch
them to the surface from their burrows.
The stones are known as Arizona rubies.
They rival in beauty the garnsts of the
cape OF Good Hope and weigh from two
to three carats up when cut. By artificial
light they are more beautiful than those
from the cape. Most of them are of a rich
red or claret tint. but some are yellow

There will be more of these marriages,

The Ob1iging Juryman.

Some jurymen have too low an opin-

While female suffrage has carried the
day in New Zealand, it has experienced
defeat in South Australia, where the
adult suffrage bill, which embodied the
principle, was rejected in the popular
house on the third reading, but only by

large crowd of people still waited at the

1t was feared that the sight of three Pull

trouble might ensue. Extra policemen were
brought in from street crossings where
there seemed to be no trouble and all
preparations were made to prevent the
strikers from stopping or damaging the

orderly crowd with only apparently one
object in view-to induce such men as
might undertake to operate the switches

Judge Baker Gives Broad Instruc-
tiOns-NO Interference Tolerated.
Judge Baker, of the United States court,
last night administered the oath to thirty
five deputy marshals, selected for the spe-
cial protection of mail trains, by United
States Marshal Hawkins. The special men,
after taking the oath, were reminded by the
court of their duty to the United States
government. He told them that they were
TO have no sympathes for the strikers and
none for the railroad companies. They
were to throw all prejudice and sentiment
aside and act in the capacity of agents of
the government. Their duty to the gov
eminent was only to be regarded. The
special men were ordered sworn in by Judge
Baker yesterday afternoon at the confer
ence between himself, Marshal Hawkins
and Postoffice Inspector Fletcher. The
court in delivering his order TO the marshal
instructed him TO arrest not only every
found in the actual interference with
mail trains, but those found in the act of
retarding the making up of trains in the
yards. He held that the mere tampering
with a switch or coupling of any train in
the yards to be a direct violation of the
federal law. The switch and other yard
apparatus, Judge Baker claims, is a part
of the whole road over which the railway
company has the contract for bearing the
mails and must not be molested
The following specials were sworn in:

before sending his men out, lined them up
and said:
Gentlemen, you are sworn in TO do your
duty, and / want no man who feels that
he cannot serve in the capacity for which
he has been selected. Any of you who de-
sire to withdraw may stand aside The
ranks of the specials We're unbroken. In
addition TO the special deputies secured by
the marshal nine men were sworn in at the
their property.
At a conference at o'clock last night
at police headquarters between Mayor Den
ny, Superintendent of Police Powell and
United States Marshal Hawkins, it was de-
cided to work the two forces in conjunction.
Each city officer detailed to the switch
yards and Union Station was accompanied
by a deputy marshal The men were dis
tributed at the east and west ends of the
Union Station and in the outside yards.

CALLS FOR THE POLICE.
Their Services During the Day Con-
sisted i'm Watching.

The police force is now settled in the
new order of affairs at the police station.
The men are under perfect discipline and
Superintendent Powell knows where TO lay
his hands on the squads at any time when
the occasion requires it, There are now
on duty, including the thirty-two addi-
tional men added to the force, 1871 Officers.
A number, however, are away from the
station all the time but these are on
duty on the Union tracks or other places
where police patrol is required. These Of
ficers keep in direct communication with
the police station, and if ii is necessary
for them to unite at any one place. it is
SO reported TO the police station, and SUI
perintendent Powell hastily sends orders
to that effect. The men who remain at
the police station, those who are not sleep
ing. spend the time quietly in playing cards
or smoking, but are always within call of
the superintendent captains.
There were several calls for the police
yesterday. One was i'm the morning. \ num-

Superintendent Powell said yesterday that
the police were not troubled in the least by
the strikers proper. He said that IL was
easily seen that the large crowds OF men
that gathered around the Union tracks
could not be all strikers. as there are not
that many out. He said that the crowds
were mostly composed of either toughs,
idle men or those who were simply on the
grounds TO agitate and stir up trouble
This statement is borne out by the fact
that the trouble Monday night on the
tracks at Capitol avenue at 10 o'clock was
due largely TO John Clune. who is not
striker.
