THE NEWPORT RAILROAD.
Will Give Aroostook and Northern Penob-
scot an Air Line to Portland.

The survey for railroad from Milo
Junction to Newport is being made this
winter and work on the road will proba-
bly be begun in the early spring. The new
road will connect with the Bangor and
Aroostouk road at Milo junction where
the main line of that road from Old
Town to Brownville and the Katahdin
Iron works come together. The distance
from Milo Junction to Newport by the
proposed route is 80 miles. The present
route by the way of Dover is A, SO there
will be two short routes out of Aroos-
took and upper Penobscou counties and
in most cases freight for any point west
ofsNewport will not have to be taken
over the lower end Of the Bangor 81
Aroostook line to get it on to the Maine
Central, but will go direct from Milo
Junction to the main line of the Maine
Central by one of the short routes.
The construction of short lines was
predicted by those in Bangor who OPP
posed leasing the Bangor & Piscataquis
road to the Bangor g. Aroostook railroad
company. The fact that few connecting
links would give northern Penobscot and
all of Aroostook county an air line to
Portland and that the lines would be
built was brough up.

rhe Phenacetine Cases.

In the Quilted States Circuit Court,
before Judge Putnam, on Monday the
writs were returnable in the suits of
Edward N. Dickerson, of New York,
against the thirty-six druggists in Maine
who have been selling the drug
phenacetine illegally. This new drug,
which is much used for producing sleep,
is a white powder invented in 1885 by
Oscar Helm berg, in Barmen, in Ger
many. The popularity of it increased SO
that the manufacture and sale has be-
come profitable monopoly TO the firm
who have the right exclusive to sell the
drug under the United States copyright.
Phenacetine sells at dollar an ounce,
and the profit is SO large that there is
considerable temptation for smuggling
or counuerfeiting. A few weeks ago a
spotter came through Maine offering the
drug for five dollars pound. Being as
sured that the article was not struggled,
about Sc Maine druggists, several of whom
are in Portland, purchased. Later they
found that they were to be held to &C
count for violating the copyright. A
suit in equity, asking for an injunction
and damages, was brought against each,
in the United States Circuit Court by
Edward N. Dickerson, of New York.
Monday, the writs being returned, the
cases were continued until the March
term, the answers to he filed in a
month.
It is probable, however. that few if
any of the cases will be heard of again,
as general proposition for settlement
has been made on the basis that each
of the respondent druggists pay fifty
dollars and costs.

STATES FINANCES.
Annual Report of the Treasurer-Mr. Beal
Reviews His Administration.

Augusta. February 4.-State Treasurer
Beal, in his last annual report, which was
made public to-day, says:
1.-The rate of taxation for the year 1894.
was reduced from 3-4 mills on the dollar.
TO l-e mills, which makes a reduction of
S7s, 81 in the amount IF Stale tax as
sessed. The receipts during 1894 were
sufficient to meet all obligations against the
State, and in addition, pay the balance of
the temporary loan, amounting to Sl00,00o.0
which matured on the first of October.
This satisfactory showing WAS made pos
sible by the wise recommendations of HIS
Excellenoy, Governor Cleaves. and the
careful and economical appropriations
made by the Legislature of 1898. The tax
rate of 1-2 mills will. am sure. be amply
su fiji cient for the year 1898. and II no unus-
ual appropriations are made by this Leg1s-
lature, the tax for 1896 can be assessed on
still lower basis.

OF EXPERIENCE AND COURAGE.
Commodore Morgan is one of the most
ardent yachtsmen ever seen in this coun-
try. and he has owned and sailed so
many boats his name must really stand
at the head in this respect. He
has owned aud sailed the forty-footers
Tomabawk and Moccasin, the forty-sixer
GIoriapa, the big schoone Constellation
and others propelled by sails, and also
owned the steamers Carina, TUNA,
Iayelin and May. The latter was his
flagship in 1898, and from her deck the
Americas Cup Committee saw the trial
races and the Regatta Comm lttee di-
rected the Vigilant-V alkyrie contest.
She is now in Southampton, England,
and is likely to be in the Mediterranean
in the spring, when the great regattas
are sailed here in the presence of fleet
that, perhaps, was never surpassed in
splendor. From his hunting seat, in
Melton Mobray, the Commodore has
communicated with officers of the clu b
and assured them of his happiness in be-
ing able to have something to do with
the cup defender, and that his return
will be in ample time TO give his old
yachting friends the benefit of his expert
ence and aid in the management OF the
new craft upon which hangs the hopes of
America.
Of Mr.. Oliver Iselin every yachtsman,
and it will be in the bounds of truth to
say every adult in America, knows. He
was the hard working anG the sncGessful
working memb Der of the Vigilant syndi-
cate. His energy, watchfulness, expert
ence and courage brought about the VIC
tory of the bronze boat, and the watch
fulness and energy shown then will
