National Y. p. S. C. E. Convention.

Augusta will most assuredly send q
large delegation to the National Christian
Endeavor convention in Boston in July, y
said one of the leading local members OF
this society to a reporter, last evening. The
committees having in charge the prepare
tions for this enormous gathering that is
expected is now in session in Boston,
making arrangements for the various
departments of the convention. This
committee will call for pledges from the
Christian Endcavor members amounting
to over $780, 900, to defray tho expenses of
the convention, and the Augusta En-
deavorers will par their proportion most
cheerfully.
1t has been estimated that the conven-
ton In Cleveland was the means of leav-
ing $3.50, 900 in that city, and the coming
convention in Boston will be double as
large The reception committee of this
great meeting will number 500, and 300
on tho accommodation committee. The
chorus will be composed of over 5000 sing
ers. So this will convey only faint idea
of what great event will occur in the
Hub" of America during the hot sum-
mer month of July.

CAPT. JOHN p. CARSON.
Closes His Connection With Augusta Post o.
fee. Will Reside in Mount Vernon.

After six years of active and honorable
service in the Augusta post office as SUI
perintendent of mails, Capt. John P.
Carson severed his connection with the
department, Saturday. Capt Carson
has had career of which any man might
we'll feel proud. He was born in Mount
Vernon, and educated in the common
schools and at the Maine Wesleyan Semi
nary at Kent's Hill. On the breaking out
Of the rebellion, after obtaining his
fathers consent, he enlisted In Company
l., First Maine Cavalry as a private and
participated in most OF the battles of that
fearless and heroic organization. OF Cap
tain Carson's career while in the army
the record will speak louder than words,
and the record is an honorable one From
private he was advanced to the positions
OF sergeant, second lieutenant first lieu
tenant and captain of Company L. For
more than year Captain Carson and his
company did escort duty for General Rey-
nolds. The same volley that ended Rey-
nold's life at Gettysburg killed Captain
Carsons horse and Carson's men bore
the form of the gallant Reynolds from
the field. After the battle of Gettysburg
Company L was ordered back to the regi-
ment.
On June 2, 1864 Captain Carson was
made prisoner at st. Mary's church,
Va, ON the Chicahominy, six miles from
Richmond. He was taken to Libby prison
and from there to Macon. and afterwards
to Savannah. Ga. Hon. George d. Bisbee
of Rumford Falls, was a prisoner with
him at these two last named places
Capt. Carson was one Of five hundred
officers sent by the rebels to Charleston
tor the purpose CT preventing Gilmore
from Smelling the city. While at Charles
ton he became SO weak from his pri son
treatment and fare that tho rebel authori-
ties sent him to hospital. In March
1866, he was paroled at Annapolis, and
was never exchanged.
Aftor the war he returned to his farm
in Mount Vernon and has since been one
of the most prominent and active men in
that section of Kennebec county. In 1880
he received an appointment in the railway
postal service and for seven years per-
formed his duties with signal ability and
success.
In 1899 he ably represented his district
in the Maine House of Representatives
and soon after the adjournment of the
Legislature of that year received the ap-
pointment of super intendent of mails. at
the Augusta post office, which position he
has held to the acceptance of the public
generally down to tho present time, when
he steps out solely for political reasons
He will return to his home in Mount Yer
non. Captain Carson's numerous friends
in Augusta, who have received many
courtesies at his hands will bear willing
testimony to his fidelity to the trusts
conflded to his care; TO his uniform and
geptlemanly bearing and to his robust and
uncompromising Republicanism. The
journal joins with his hosts of friends in
wishing him many years of health and
prosperity in his future course.

Today's Game.

The people of the Kennebec valley will
have a chance to see, at the Augusta trot-

famous New Bedford club. This team
includes several players of national repn-

loaned by the Boston league team, and
Steere. the famous Brown University
short stop, who was for time member
of the Pittsburg National League club.
They put up a strong game and their
work in this city will be we'll worth see
ing. Their battery, today. will probably
be Carr and Sharp. Tierney or Dilworth
and Kelley will probably be the battery
for the Remedies. The game will certainly
be well worth seeing.

will prove more satisfactory to the insured

has been in vogue. The rules will now
be made by boards in the various counties
For instance, you have buildings which
you wish insured, and you apply to an
agent, who will visit the premises, make
his inspection and set rate, which posi-
bly, you think is too high. You will then

rate made by the agent is satisfactory to
the board, then the person wishing protec-

The location and hazards will have much

receiving much attention at the hands Of
both branches Of the Legislature. Several
informal conferences were hold yesterday
between the leaders Of the senate and
house TO try to formulate some plan BY
which this could be accomplished as early
a. possible. 1t is generally agreed that
q the lawmakers cannot get away before

means by which this oan DO accomplished
Is by the house dropping all OF Its bills be-
low the final passage calendar. This will
hardly DO agreed to. A decided effort Is
being made 10 effect compromise by

kills the bill. The bill extending to third
