and was sentenced to three hours in
jail and to pay fine of $500. Gen.
Flagler paid the fine and the young
lady was conducted to Jail to serve
the three hours. The proceedings
were the result of an agreement be-
tween District Attorney Birney and
Miss FIagler's lawyers. An effort
was made to keep the trial from the
knowledge Of the public. and for that
purpose Judge Cox called court half
an hour before the usual time. The
district attorney said: This il one
Of those unfortunate accidents which
does not call for anything but the
slightest penalty in the power of the
court" And Judge Cox declared the
sentence without making any CON-
ments.
Miss Flagler was driven to the jail
in her fathers carriage and was re-
ceived by the warden with great
courtesy. She passed the three
hours in the matron's reception room
in company Of Gen. Flagler and an
aunt, Mrs. Winthrop, and was then
driven to her home.

years will be completed, and the factory

past

large interest in the vessel, and Senator
Hale also owned a "sice". The larger
part of the vessel was owned in Calais,
Capt. George w. Lord, brother of Capt.
John A. Lord, being one OF the largest
owners. Capt. John A. Lord went in the
brig for four years after she was built,
and started her on career that has been
remarkable because Of freedom from acci-
dent. During her eig ghteen years OF ser
vice, he brig had never lost spar or
sail, had never been in collision, had
never damaged her freight, had never
even scraped her keel or bottom. This
reputation had so exalted her in the eyes
Of the shippers that she could always find
freight, and she has been very busy ves
sci. There was but small insurance on
her. The captain hailed from Boston.

ance here THE AMERICAN said: 'The ex-
hibition of the vitascope delighted and
surprised the large audience present.
1t is a striking commentary on the rapid
strides science is making in the present
generation, that such remarkabl in
vention as this has been accepted by the
world witt scarcely murmur Of surprise,
and many there were-peope well read
and Well posted on the affairs of the day
who, when they came to the hall, had no
idea what a 'vitascope' might be. They
left with a feeling that the world was
making such strides they could not keep
up with it. The vtascope is a production
of the fertile brain of Thomas A. Edison.
1t is d combination of instantaneous
photography with electricity, by means
of which something like fifty photo
graphs may be taken in a second. This
number Of photographs, taken of NOV
ing object i'll such short space of time,
of course records every motion as accu-
rately as can the human eye. By running
these pictures before the eye again in the
| order taken and at the rate of fifty sec
ond, every motion Of the object photo
graphed is reproduced. 1t was but a
short step to combine these pictures with
stereopticon lantern and throw them on
the screen-and there is the vitascope."

MUNICIPAL JUDGESHIP.
John n. Peters, jr., of Ellsworth,
Named by the Governor.

John A. Peters, jr., of Ellsworth, has
been appointed by Governor Clesves
Judge of the municipal court at Ellsworth,
to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Judge George p. Dutton.
There has been friendly contest for
the position between Mr.. Peters and
Charles II. Drummey, which was brought
to an end by Mr.. Drummey's notifying
the governor that, having accepted an
offer of a partnership in the law firm Of
Hale & Hamlin, he would withdraw from
the contest, and cordially recommended
the appointment of Mr.. Peters. The ap-
pointment followed.
Mr.. Peters is one of the leading mem
bers of the Hancock county bar. He is a
nephew of Chief Justice Peters, grad
uate of Bowdoin college, class of 'S5, and
one of Ellsworth's most active and pub
lic-spirited citizens.
He studied law in the office of Wiswell
& King, and was admitted to Hancock
county bar in 1887, and became a men,
Der of the law firm of Wiswell, King x
Peters.
The firm opened an office in Bar Har-
Dor in 1855, and Mr.. Peters took charge
of it. The partnership was dissolved
when MIR. Wiswel was appointed to the
bench in April, 1898, and late in the same
year Mr.. Peters moved back to Ellsworth.
He remodeled the suite of rooms for sc
many years occupied by his uncle, the
late George :. Peters, in the block at the
corner OF Main and State streets, and
continues to occupy them.
1t is probable that the appointment viii
be confirmed at the meeting to-day
Thursday of the governor and counci
in Augusta.
