II the well laid plans OF Messrs,
arrows, BuckenberEer and the other
promoters OF the proposed Central Base

Ne a minor organization that will line
mn fayorably with the Western or East
ern, heretofore the leaders in the minor
column. In addition to the better towna
Of tho 1895 Iron and OIL League, II Is
more than possible that three National
League cities vii! figure In the circuit,
Manager Banows, ot the Wheeling
team, has been working on this line
for some time, but the matter hRs boon
IN such shape heretofore that It was not
ready TO be printed.
Now, IL is said, President Kerr has
about determined 10 place q team IN

League grounds IN Pittsburgh during
the Pirates trips abroad; the Central
schedule 10 be arranged with this In
view. In this connection, the admls-
sion Of Cincinnati and Cleveland 10 the
Central Is belpg advocated and the big
league maguates are now being worked
on. This a be arranged on the SAND

league cities a very good minor organ

would be rather long and expensive.
Youngstown "a talked OF In connection,
and the first meeting OF the projectors
Will probably be held there.
Among the bOWlers there Is n grow
Ing demand for the restoration OF the
'biInd" rule In the Musee Bowling
League. The practice OF bringing In
outsiders and STRENGTHENING teams,
while II results In better scores, takes
away one.haIt OF the Importance ot
contests where the practice Is INDUCED
in. Il Is no uncommon thing for teams
TO prearrange for the absence Of their
weaker players, and actually engage
in advance strong players Of other
teams. The sport will suffer In the end
II this Is not stopped. and stopped
quick. II a team can't get out five
members II deserves to lose.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The 9th legislature Of Maine as
sembed at the capitol last Wednesday.
Senator George NJ. Seiders Of Cumber-
land County was unanimously chosen
president OF the senate. For speaker of
the house. Llewellyn Powers of Houlton
received 1856 votes, William Dickey OF
Fort Kent /. Speaker Powers was es-
corted To the chair by Maj. Dickey, who
is the FEATHER OF the House." He is 81
years Of age, and Is serving his sixteenth
term in the house.
President Seiders aud Speaker Powers
Ia taking their positions made brief and
appropriate addresses.
Kendall NJ. Dunbar of DamariscOtta
was chosen secretary OF the senate, and
W. s. Cotton of Lisbon clerk Of the
house. Both are the former incumbents
Of these positions, and OF excellent quail
fications.
Wednesday evening Republican
caucus was held and the following nom-
nations made for state officers:
Secretary of State. Hon. Nicholas Fessenden.
state Treasurer. Hon =. n. simpson Of Car
mel
Attorney General. Hon. +. A. Powers Of

seventh, Hon. C. r. Daggett of Presque
Isle.
The general disposition Of the legisla-
tors seems at present to be In favor OF q
short session, and IL Is TO be hoped that
this disposition viii remain unchanged,
though quite often unforeseen develop
ments tend to prolong the session. The
commissioners appointed two years ago
to consider the matter Of private and
special legislation have IN ,de their re-
port, accompanied by five bills, provid-
ing for general legislation on subjects
which are now treated specially. These
subjects sre: l. Fish and game. 2.
Incorporation and control Of telegraph
and teleI hone companies. 3. Incorpo-
ration and regulation Of safe deposit and
trust companies. 4. Organization Of
water companies. 5. Organization Of
gas and electric companies. General
legislation on these subjects would
save much time to the legisla-
tors and much expense to rybody.
The committees were announced on
Friday and the business Of the session Is
remarkably well along for this stage Of
the session.
