Transition, novel BY the author of a
Superfluous Woman. The source of these
two novels was for sometime enveloped
in mystery. Their writer is now known
to be Miss Emma Brooks, of Hamstead,
no longer very young, a college graduate
herself and a most interesting and intel
lectual woman. She has been the center
of a literary coterie of which Mr. Sidney
Webb is prominent member and like
nesses', are hinted at in her fiction
Transition refers to the troublesome
social aspects necessary to the passing
from aristocratic monopoly to true de-
mocracy. Its characters are rather young
women graphing with the problems of
the age, and group Of men striving to
get at something real by means Of social
ism protected from anarchism. In the
writer's mind there evidently revolves the
question of how the everlastingly true
things of the past are to be kept without
flaw in the midst of such strenuous up
heavals as the present day is witness to-
The story has strong character drawing
and handles varying types with truth and
ability. There is something too much
of cogitation and dissension but the work
is a suggestive one, and very sincere and
will certainly interest those who study
the burning question of the day. (Phila-

Senator Faulkner of West Virginia has
always been known as the friend of silver
and at one time openly declared
in favor of free coinage When silver
was demonetized in India, however, Mr..
Faulkner came to believe that it would
be folly for the United States alone to
open her mints for turning the silver OF
the world into legal tender, such re-
suit, he thought, being only practicable
by some international agreement Mr..
Faulkner now thinks that some sort of a
compromise will be arranged by which
silver will get more recognition but not
free coinage. But the free silver people
are in no mood to accept less than their
full demand. They profess to believe
that all the ills which the country is suffer
ing from have their origin in 1.-THE. crime
Of 1872 and until this crime is atoned
for they think the country will continue
to suffer. This being the case com
promise so far as they are concerned
would seem to be out of the question.

The indications point to another minis
terial crisis in Germany. The refusal of
the Reichstag to do his bidding absolutely
has had the effect only of making the EN-
peror more self-willed and determined.
1t is now said that the programme is to be
one of reaction. Public liberty is to be rig
orously repressed, and freedom of speech
is to be as vigorously denied. That such
policy cannot succeed in the long run
is sufficiently. obvious. The Germans are
liberty loving people, and they will not
be content forever with the military des-
potism which, useful as it may have been
once, has done its work and is now a
glaring anachronism. William is in some
danger of finding this out when it is too
late for the knowledge to do him any
good.

1t was revealed in the address of Judge
Symonds, yesterday, that the beaut iful
monument on the soldier s. lot in Ever
green Cemetery was the gift of Gov
Henry B. Cleaves, and his brother, Nath-
an Cleaves. The intention of presenting
this monument to the Grand Army was
formed before the death of Judge Cleaves,
but his sudden demise postponed its ex-
ecution. The monument is of simple,
yet noble, design. The base, which is
of granite, bears this inscription: 'sTo
our comrades. In honor Of the living
in grateful memory of the dead The
figure which, ,surmounts it is of bronze, and
represents soldier guarding the flag. 1t

Company.

Deliverable and payable on or before
June LIST, 1895.
Price lo5 and interest yielding net
return of about AZ per cent? subject to
advance without notice.
These bonds are dated May 1st, 1898,
payable without option twenty years af-
ter date, with interest at At per cent
per annum, payable semi-annually on
the first days of May and November;
principal and interest payable in United
States gold coin of the present standard
of weight and fineness.
OF the total authorized mortgage,
$160.000 bonds are already outstanding,
and $220,000 will now be issued for
equipping the whole system with cleo
tricity; of this $220,000, we shall receive
for delivery $50, 900 on or before June
1st, which are advertised herewith; we
shall offer no more of the bonds until
August, 1895.
The charter of the Railroad was
granted in 1890 and is perpetual. This
mortgage is a first lion on all the fran
chises, rights and property Gncluding
real estate and equipment) situated in
the Cities of Portland, Deering and
Westbrook.
The length of track is 20.14 miles,
making the bonded Indebtedness less
than $40, 900 per mile.
The earnings for 1894 were as fol-
lows
Gross, s2o7,552. 20
Expenses and taxes 169,979.7S
Net. $37,572.42
Interest, 1922. "a
Surplus, S2S, ,950.0S
It will be noticed first, that the operat-
ing expenses, which included new cars,
4 motors, ! snow plough, l mile new
track, ETC., were over so per cent of the
gross earnings, and secoad, that the net
earnings were sufficient to pay the in
terest on bonds then outstanding, plus
this new block of $220, 900, tuice ouer.
1t is conservatively estimated that the
increase in earnings and decrease in ex-
penses (due to electricity will be at
least sufficient to pay interest on the
arhoIe indebtedness, additional to the
present large earnings.
The capital stock is $500, 900, which sells
in the home market at lis to 120 and
pays per cent dividends. The surplus
is over $75, 600.
An experts estimate of the savings to
to the road, by making the change to
electricity in 1895. over what the same
would have costin 1892, is satleast $3.50, 600.
due to present low prices of rails, motors
cars, etc.
These bonds are legal investment for
Maine Savings Banks, $175,000 of those
outstanding being now owned by the
Portland Savings Bank.
We feel fully justified in recommend
ing them as a particularly choice invest.
ment, returning better income than
any other home security of similar
standing.

those sections of the charter relating to an
that neither the legislature nor the city has
the power to provide that citizens who live
on their farms might have u 1uIl hearing
before their farms could be annexed TO the
city and subjected to city taxation and as
sessment. and at the same time deny that
right to those who do not live on their
farms. -
In the argument, Mr.. Beverage. attor-
ney for Mr. gIaypdo4. IN maintained that the
charter violated the fourteenth amendment
of the Constitution of the United states. be-
cause the charter denies the property own
ers the equal protection of the laws. which
the Constitution guarantees to all citizens.
Judge Brown held that this point was Well
taken and the charter, in that respect, un-
constitutional, Mr.. Claypool owns a farm
adjoining the city, and lives In the city.
The city annexed two farms, and by the
terms of the charter he could not be heard
in a remonstrance. This point Judge Brown
held to be unjust, and upon that ground
he held the section of the charter governing
it unconstitutional and the annexation
void. The effect of this decision is far
reaching, for by it all land which has been
owned by persons not living on 1t, and an
nexed under the operation of the charter,
is not a part of the city and not subject to
taxation by the city, or assessment Tor I'M
provement. During the past few years a
number of farms and platS of ground have
been brought into the city under like condi-
tions. 1t is understood the city will appeal
the case to the Supreme Court.

HER CHILD.
A Crime of Two Weeks Ago
Until Yesterday.

Another child murder has been brought
to light, and circumstances indicate that
somebody is responsible for the case not
having come to the knowledge of the au-
thorities before. < colored couple known
as Nettie Cleggett and George A. Henry
are, as a result, locke in the police sta
ton, charged with the murder of their
child, Dec. 80, 1894.
Sunday evening Mrs. Mollie Oglesby, of
2S Roanoke street. called on Superintend-
ent of Police Powell and complained that
a boarder, by the name of Henry, had sud
denly left her house, and without paying
his board bill of Sill. As a conclusion. she
intimated that Henry and his wife had re-
cently made away with their child in q
criminal manner. Detective Thornton was
immediately detailed on the case, and to-
day arrested Nettie /ClegGett and George
A. Henry, Stating the woman for murder
and the man as an ~accornplice. The wom-
an soon weakened, and confessed TO SUI
perintendent Powell and Coroner Castor
that sile had murdered me chi5d by placing
il. This was the day after 1T was born.
Henry denies all knowledge as to the man
ner in which the child me- its death. He
does not know that the woman has con-
fessed.
A physician from the City Dispensary
had the case in charge, and made a death
return that the child died from natural
causes. 1t is stated that some one, at the
tiii1C III IL 0SdiU SdlQ lh1- III did mo-
need to know anything about that case,
and it is intimated that the physician
made the statement. However, he denies
the charge, and says that it was not his
duty to report the case to the coroner,
but that he made the. proper death return.
The child has now been dead over two
weeks, and if Mrs. Oglesby had not be-
come angry at Henry and reported him to
the police the murder would in all prob
ability never have been known: Mrs.
Oglesby now says Mrs, clegSett asked her
to drown the effifd. bit she refused.

William Mattocks, Of $50 Morris street,
attempted suicide yesterday afternoon
about 4:30 O'Clock by stabbing himself liz
the left breast. The weapon used was a
pocket knife and the wound made was di-
rectly over the heart. The only thing that
prevented the accomplishment of his pur-
pose was that he did not strike hard enough
to reach the vital organ. The City Dis
pensary was notified and a physician was
sent, who gave the man MEDICAL attention.
1t is not thought the wound will prove fatal.

to be somewhat out of his mind lately, and

it, although he could not tell who. A cloge
