Gardiner. November 1.-William Towns,
aged so, was found dead in his doorway on
Sumner street early this morning. Reports
were rife in Gardiner that foul play had
been committed, and for a while there was
great excitement. Coroners Libby of Au-
gusta, and Kilbreth of Hallowell, were sum-
moned and, as there were no marks of
violence on the dead mans body, deemed
an inquest unnecessary. They pronounced
the cause of his death as heart disease. For
about two years the deceased has been in
failing health and, he was expected to drop
dead at almost any time.

After the ExpectOratOrs.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your paper has been the avenue through
which so many reforms have been accom-
pKshed that 1 beg you in the name of suf-
fering gentility to champion one more
cause, beside which that of the theater hat
is as nothing. Any one who frequents our
street cars must have noticed the revolving
condition Of the floors-fairly deIuged with
spit. One cannot conceive of gentleman
being guilty of so disgusting a practice, but
should not a rule be made and enforced by
which the public, and especially ladies,
whose skirts must necessarily come in con-
tact with this filth, be protected from the
habit of men who have so little conception
of decency as to be guilty of any act so
abomnable?
have travelled through France, Germany
and England and In none of these places
is such a condition of affairs tolerated A
conductor would promptly eject one who
would be guilty Of such nuisance, and so
1t should be here.
One must sit in a very awkward position,
with her skirts raised, or else feel that she
is gathering up that which makes her
shudder to think of. A. P. s.
