RAILROAD MATTERS,
Annual Meeting of the Maine Central
This Afternoon.

A School Car at Union Station-New
Train Arrangements.
The annual meeting of the Maine
Central railroad will be held this after
noon at l D. m. It is not expected that
anything of unusual interest will come
up; and the old board of directors will
undoubtedly be reelected as follows
Franklin A. Wilson, Payson Tucker,
Lucius Tuttle, Samuel c. Lawrence,
George NJ Pullman, William G. Davis,
Joseph S. Kicker, Lewis Cass Ledyard,
Henry NJ Whitney, Henry r. Reed,
Thomas W. Hyde, John Ware and
Francis W. Hill. Mr.. Wilson willsbe
president again, and Mr.. Tucker vice
president
RAILROAD SCHOOL.
There is now at Union Station in this
city travelling railroad school. The
schoolhouse is car of the Fitchburg rail-
road, the school master is Mr.. T. W.
Dow of Boston, and the scholars are
trainmen and other Maine Central en-
ployes who attend in classes of eight at q
time. The object of the school is to in
stIuct the men in the maintenance and
operation of the Westinghouse air brake.
The interior of the car. except small
portion reserved as sleeping apartment
is filled with machinery illustrating
practically the workings of the air brake
1t is an interesting place, and while the
school is going on order and interest are
its characteristics ''No smoking during
class hours is one Of the notices on the
walls of the car.
After the employees here have been
sufficiently instructed the school car will
go to Waterville, and then to other points
on the system.
The Fitchburg railroad has been run
ming this car about two years, and lets it
out to other railroads. 1t is an excellent
idea, and the railroad men appreciate it.

LABOR LEADERS GO TO JAIL.
Debs and His Coadjutors Surrender, but
! Debs Fails to show Up Later.

CHICAGO, June 12--President Debs, OF
the American Railway Union, entered
the Office of United States Marshal Ar
mold and reported for removal to jail to
serve the remainder of his first sentence
for contempt of court. He was told that
he would not be wanted until p. m. At
5p IN. Of all the other prisoners were
taken to the Northwestern station In
charge of a deputy marshal and started
for tho Jail at Woodstock-all except
Howard. He did not want to be locked
up with the A. R U. men, as he had a
matter at heart that is dearer to him than
the A. r. Ia rival organization. So
he will be sent to the win county Jail at
Joliet.
But when the other prisoners were
taken in charge ready to- go to the train
Debs was missing. He had TOLD the mar
shall at noon that he had good deal Of
business to attend to, but would be
through in time for the train and prom.
ised to report at 4 p. IN. three men were
sent out to hunt for him and told to
bring him in wherever found. But up to
train time he was not found, much to the
marshal's disgust who said he did not
The other men went on except Howard,
who will go today.
Talking of the matter Debs said: GAS a
matter of course, it's disagreeable, but l
have become philosophical. BY the au-
thority vested in me 1 have appointed
Frank w. Phelan, of St. Louis, an ex.
conductor, to act as president Of the
American Railway Union during my alb
sence. He will go TO st. Paul next Mon
day to meet President Hill, of the Great
Northern, in regard to the reinstatement
of the American Railway Union men,
and l am confident that there will be no
strike on that account in view OF the
agreement Mr. Hill made with u.s." Phe-
Ian is the aggressive American Railway
Union man who was sent to jail for six
months last year by Judge Taft, at Cleve-
land, for contempt, the same as Debs
ct al.
At latest advices Debs had not been
found

A Protest Against Chariyaris.

To the Editor: While performing
the duties of my calling since living
in this city | have been an unwilling
witness to the charivaris connected
with wedding ceremonies, and | wish
to protest against them. A wedding
is usually considered a time of re-
joicing, but at the same time there is
a solemn side to the service and the
hour. At the wedding ceremonies
in this city at which | have officiated
the ceremony has been so disturbed
by the beating of pans and by rap
ping on the windows and doors that
it was impossible to go through the
service and prayers with any de-
corum. This has been very annoy
ing, yet | would not make public
complaint of personal annoyance.
But there are three reasons why these
exhibitions ought to be stopped.
First-They are a direct encourage
ment to rowdyism in the young peo-
pie. There is a license demanded
which would be considered intorable
at any other time. Every part of the
grounds are entered and every kind
of liberty taken. | have seen the
walks and doors so crowded with
boys, and sometimes girls, that it was
almost impossible for the guests to
enter the house, and this was not by
chlldren, but by young people of from
~ to IA up to 20years of age. Such a
thing fiayorS too strongly of the back
woods to be continued by the people
of Mineral Point.
SecOnd-It has come to be regular
thing that money is demanded as a
tribute to this lawlessness; the de-
mands are made in such manner
that no refusal will be taken. The
only alternative is more disturbance
and more liberties taken The right
is claimed to remain until such de-
mands are complied with. A court
eous refusal and explanation by a
lady, recently, was answered in the
most insulting manner by the young
gentlemen CD who We're demanding
two dollars. Sometimes their de-
mands are made by five or six differ
ent crowds in one evening. There is
not much difference between such
eXactionS and robbery. If these boys
and girls We're "hoodlums' in some
"tough" neighborhood in Il large city
it would not occasion surprise-it is
surprising in city like Mineral
Point.
Ihlrd-The money thus demanded
is largely spent for beer and cigars.
So that Il wedding ceremony means
the treats" for any who are uman-
nerly enough to demand them and
boorish enough to persist in the de-
mand. The crowd may not be, as
a rule a drinking crowd, but there are
always some who drink, and at such
a time they influence the others.
think quite likely the blame be-
longs more to some of the older peo-
pie than to those who participate,
because they have allowed it to 90
on, and sometimes even encouraged
it. But | submit that custom which
tends directly to rOwdyism among
the girls and to rowdyism and drink
ing among the boys is not fit to be
tolerated in our city. If the parents
will keep the younger children at
home, and those interested will re-
fuse to encourage the matter by sub
hitting to the demands, and then
perhaps a few arrests shall be made,
this disgrace to our city will soon be
at an end. f. w. STRAW.

The Romance of 1873,

The great crime Of 1878, /" by which
the silver dollar was "stealthily" and
"fraudulently" demonetized, is, like
all the other free silver tads. u mere
fiction. As the official records Of con-
greSs show. the measure was considered
and defeated from time to time through
four sessions of congress until it was
finally passed. The cause of free silver

pable of presenting any truths in its IA.

Also the Condition of the Crops and Pros
poets for Yield.
CHICAGO, June 12.--The Illinois wealth
or service has this to say OF the weather
and crops The past week has been in
general continuation of the drought
condition.; light showers fell in northwest
and southern counties tho first Of last
week, but these were insufficient even in
tho localities most favored. Tempera-
lures were high and sunshine practically
continuous. Rain is much needed for
crops and to replenish wells, springs and
streams. Corn has suffered less from the
lack of moisture probably than any
other crop; the fields are clean and Guilt
walton general. Wheat harvest will be-
gin in southern counties this week and
in central counties the coming week.
Along the Ohio valley and where rains
fell in southern and central counties the
wheat is slightly improved.
But the yield will be very light at best
and many fields in the central section
and west center of southern section will
scarcely pay for the harvest. Rye is also
poor and much of it is being cut for hay.
Oats are heading very short and will be
light in yield. Glover harvest is done in
southern and we'll along in central
counties. The yield Is light but the con-
ditions favorable for cutting. Meadows
and pastures are much in need of rain,
also potatoes and gardens. Fruit is hold
ing up WELL cherries are ripening with
good yield.
