TARRED WITH THE SAME BRUSH.
More Rottenness Revealed Before tn,
Lexow Investigating Committee.

New York, September 13.-The latest
exposures before the Lexow investigating
committee duplicating many other mem
bers of the police force besides those
mentioned at the previous session of the
committee, are by far the most serious
and damaging yet brought out.
The attack ON the detective bureau and
an exposure of the methods employed by
some of its officers, who are openly
charged with being in league with green
goods operators, caused somewhat of a
sensation in police circles. Assistant
District Attorney W Gilman had charges
in preparation against four of the cap
tains other than those mentioned before
the committee this week, and those inn
plicated in the latest exposures before
the committee are Inspector Williams
Captain William Schultz, Captain Will
lam Meakin, Captain James K. Price.
Detective Sergeant Hanley and ex-Ward-
man Henery McArdle, of the Grand Cen
trail depot squad. Captain Schultz is
accused of standing in with gamblers
and permitting them to carry on busi-
ness unmolested. Captains Meakin and
Price, it is alleged, protected green goods
operators lnstheir precincts, and were paid
by them. Detective Sergeant Hanley
and ex-Wardman McArdle are accused of
standing in with green goods men. Han
ley,s it is. charged, received regular pay
mentss of large sums of money from
+. Jimp McNally, head of the green goods
gang.

loaded with las cords of hemIock bark, con-
signed to Webster Co., EdgewoIth, caught
fire his afternoon near the Maiden and
Everett line. The schooner was heavily

and ratings to considerable height. The
fire caught from the cook stove In the cabin
and quickly spread to the deck load. The

Maiden and Everett fire departments were
called. Nearly one hundred cords of bark
was damaged by fire and water. number
of cords of bark were thrown overheard to
enable the firemen to get the water on the
brning cargo. The damage TO the schooner
will probably amount to $500, and to the
cargo as much more. The schooner was in
such position that it was difficult for the
firemen to get the hose on the vessel. When
the Everett fremen reached tie river they
hesitated, pondering how to get onto the
schooner which was ablaZe, when ex-Chief

many sensational incidents this year,
witness ed sad and very unusual oc-
cur renee last evening, when John San

olent attack of heart disease. caused
by the excitement of his arrest.
Sanborn. who was hard working
and sturdy citizen, had been owing Rob
lie Mears, a merchant in Morrill,, for
goods which he had purchased. After
numerous futile attempts to obtain a
settlement, Mears brought an action
against Mr.. Sanborn. An execution was
issued for costs in the trial, and ca
pias had also been issued for San born's 8
arrest. Yesterday afternoon Sanborn
drove into Belfast, and while at the
stable OF Francis Whetmore he was ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Bickford of
Burnham, and was lodged In Jail.
Shortly after arriving in Jail, Sanborn
had a very serious attack of heart
trouble and a physician was ssummoned,
who did what he could to relieve him,
with apparent success but later another
and even more painful ill turn was ex-
perienced, and although medical aid
was promptly at hand, Sanborn soon
expired. Mrs. Littlefeld, the wife Of
the sheriff, rendered every attention
possible, and the last moments of the
old man were made as comfortable as
possible. After the second attack Sher-
i'll Littlefeld started for Knox after San
born's wife, but when she arrived her
husband. had been dead several hours
The lady was sent home. The deceased
was IS years old, and leaves a large

against the Plum Trust, in his comment
on the election in the New Age, this
mrning, says, among other things:
"Thirty thousand Maine Democrats
did not go to the polls last Monday.
This means something, and the sooner
we learn what that is the better 1t will
be for the Democratic party of the Staue
of Maine.
No less prominent Democrat than

sibility where it belongs.
THAT the unprecedented course pursued
by the Democratic State Committee
would bring about such result was
inevitable.

ored long and earnestly for it's success,
were ignored, even insulted, their, wish

poin tments made which were obnoxious
to Democrats in the localities in which
the Office was located.
Then the committees assessment OF

office, their refusal il zAauy cases to grant

instances of the action of local COM
m1ttees by one or two men who had con-
stltuted themselves court of last resort
when it suited their wishes, the selfish
ness manifested in selecting the best
offices in the state by almost the entire
committee, endorsing each other there
for and using the power which they had
arrogated to themselves to compel self
endorsement by prominent Democrats
who asked recognition at the hands Of
the, administration, the totals ineficiency
shown in making no effort to harmoDi ize

ing it's prospectsaby endeavoring to read

fish ends, the abandonment of all polit.
lcal work by the committee from the
day of President Cleveland's election,
and devoting it's time and energies to
securing federal positions for its own
mem bers and personal friends-all these
contributed to make the honest, princi-
pied adherents of the Democratic par
ty in Maine at first restless, and finally
disgusted with the party management
The honest rank and file of the Demo-
cratic party cannot stand everything
They know no other way of letting the
party Headers know their feelings than by
staying at home one election day. There
is bright future for the Democratic
party in Maine, but not until more men
