Mr.. Arthur Nd. Farnsworth has received

cANvAsslNG THE VOTE.
Last Official Act of Old Board of Aldermen
a-Mayor Baxter Declared Elected.

The Board of Aldermen met at A
clock yesterday afternoon to canvass
the vote of the city for Mayor. Alder
man Randall, president of the board,
presided. Aldermen McGowan and
Smith were absent. The returns of the
ward clerks were opened and read, and
the results tabulated The total vote of
James p. Baxter was found to be 1924; of
George E. Bird 1855; and Rufus Deering
251. This is the same as published in
Yesterdays PRESS, except that Rufus
Deering has 251, instead of 255 votes.
This change is due to the fact that the
clerks returns show only one vote for
Deeringsin Island Ward /, instead OF
five, as reported unofficialIy
After the result had been announced,
Alderman Little introduced an ordey
which was passed, directing the city
clerk to inform Mr.. Baxter of his cleo
ton. The board then adjourned. This
is the last official action of the Board
of Aldermen.

BANGOR &ARoosTooK. g.
1t Is Proving a Feeder for the Maine Gen.
trrI.

The completed returns of the Bangor
& Aroostook road for the year 1894 show
a gross of 1886. 1892. and net of 1924, 533
The fixed charges include the rental on
the Bangor & Piscataquis road and the
interest on the bonds of the line between
Houlton and BrownvilIe, or total of
S142, 500 Ths deficit for the calendar
this connection it is to be said that
these figures cover the operation of the
road in an incomplete state. The line
between Houlton and Carbon was open
only short time for this period. 1t is
this latter portion of the line that let's
the road into the heart of the Aroostook
county, and from which point much
traffic is anticipated. And thus far the
returns are very satisfactory. For jan
nary the through car movement amount
ed 10 1924 cars, and for February it was
very nearly as great In January and
February 100 carloads OF potatoes were
sent from Aroostook county th rough to
Boston, half of which are to be credited
to the Bangor & Aroostook. Another
item in this connection OF the year'swork
is the expenditures for maintenance of
way, which in May ran up to SIS, 933, and
in July to SO, 1873, whereas the average
for the other months was between $4,000
and $1,000. This was the result of new
rails and permanent Improvements on
the Bangor & Piseataquis branch, and
so ara charges that will not have to be
met again.
The Maine Central people are profting
by this extra car movement from the
Aroostook sources. The company evil
dences th is improvement in traffic by
tne placin of an order for 200 new fiat
cars. These will cost something like
81 so, coo, and this amount will be COW
cred into operating expenses for the next
5 or IS months, there being no addition
to the company's capitalization in any
way because of it.

THE BURNING OF THE WILSON.
A Singular Fact in Connection with It-A
Correction as to the Cost.

A singular and perhaps Significant
thing in connection with the burning of
the Wilson Spring" hotel at Raymond
last Saturday, was the fact that that
was the first day since the house was
closed last fall that the care-taker. Mr..
Mclean and his wife, were both absent
from the premises. A few days before,
Mr.. Mclean had got something in his
eye that so inflamed it that he was
Obliged to come to Portland Friday, for
medical treatment. His wife came with
him. When they returned Saturday
night the house was gone, only one tall
chimney remaining above the heap Oh
ashes.
Sunday morning the owners, Messrs.
A. r. & e. A. Doten drove to Raymond
from this city TO the scene of the calaml-
ty. They made no examination for the
tracks that some of the neigh bors had
mentioned as leading away from tie
building, because snow fell on Saturday
that must haye obliterated them
There are, of course, posi- that
the burning was the result of some nat
ural, accidental cause, such as the gnaw-
ing of matches by rats, as one Of the
insurance men suggests, but there has
been no fire ia the house this winter,
ard it seems quite as probable that the
fire was incendiary as that it was acc-
dental.
There has besn an erroneous statement
in regard to the cost of the building.
The Messrs. Doten bid it off at 5000,
subject to all existing mortgages and Ii
en- claims. These amounted to about
SIG. 600. With the first cost and the i'm
provements and furnishings the place
mas cost about $50, 900.

The school Committee Election.

To the Editor of the PRESS:
AS constant reader of your valuable
paper and resident in Ward 6, | trust
that am not guilty of any Improperly
in saying few words in support of the
regular party candidate for mem ber of
the school committee, and in asking
that they be given place in the columns
of the Republican newspaper of this
city. From time to time, short articles
have appeared in the, PRESS urging that
the so-called non-partisan candidate
should be elected, and with the excep-
tion of one brief communication in sup
port of Mr. Bradley, and your general
Injunction to all voters to cast the
straight party ticket, nothing has been
done to place before the voters of the
ward a fair statement of the situation.
Without saying anything in disparage-
ment of the estimable lady selected as
the leader of reform movement which
is to improve and elevate our public
schools. sweep out dirty corners. intro
duce more efficient system of temper
ance instruction, and generally bring to
bear those more refining and cultiyating
qualities so associated with the feminine
nature, wish to urge upon the atten-
tion OF all candid voters the very unusu-
al qualifications of the present incum-
bent, well educated man, a trained
lawyer, of souad business judgment and
knowledge of human nature. For a..lone

fit of his efforts and time, without cost.
This service has been given willingly
and cheerfully, an example of the. spirit
of sacrifice for the good of the public,
unfortunately rare in these days of ex-
elusive devotion TO private interests. The
citizens of Portland are justly proud of
their schools. They believe them to be
fully up to the best standards of this
age: that the city's appropriations are
wisely expended, and that the city gets
it's moneys worth. To whose efforts is
this condition of things more due than
to the gentleman again made the party
| nominee? Had Mr.. Bradley decided to
no longer serve the city, and new man
| been nominated whose experience must
| be gained, ami whose. qualifications were
| unknown, the non-parGisan candidate
might wisely have been nominated and
voted for. Our city elections turn large

litical theories. They are not for the
furthering OF woman's suffrage move.

from this point of view, can there bs

In the body of an adult person there are
