Selling Goods Bought ON Installments.
Deputy Sheriff Buchanan and Constable
Brown took boat yesterday and went to
Goose Island where they arrested Thomas
Thorpe and brought him to this city.
Thorpe Is boat builder and agreed to
build boat for another party who fur
nished the money. This money il is
claimed Thorpe spent but the man who
advanced it got an attachment on the
boat owned by Thorpe and thus repaid
himself. Thorpe, however, 1t is charged
bought goods on the installment plan of
Mr.. Fred Merrill and then sold them.
This brings the case under the criminal
statutes as 1t Is the same offence to sell
goods bought on the installment plan as
TO sell mortgaged property. Thorpe will
therefore have to await trial on the
criminal charge.

always attend a baby show can have a
chance to see them. Good prizes will be

think are the best looking. Remember

: STATE BOARD OF TRADE.
The Papers That Will Be Read and Dis
cussed.

At the annual meeting sof the State
Board of Trade, which will be held in
Portland on the 18th and 18th inst, this
will be the official programme of the
papers for eptember 18th at p. m.
The Importance to the country of a
naval station at Portland, ssHon. @. j.
Gilman of Brunswick, to be followed by
general discussion.
Advantages of An early Typographical
survey of the state. Frederick Hayes New
ell of the U. S. Geographical Survey, to
be followed by discussion.
Summer travel in minor resorts in
Maine, Walter D. Stinson of Augusta, to
be followed by general discussion.
In regard to the first topic 1t may not
be known that the government is said
to be deeply impressed with the impor-
tanoe of Portland as naval station.
When Gen. Miles was here, 1T is under
stood that he, with Col. Damrell, the en-
gineer officer in charge Of the harbor
work and defences in this state, made
careful inspection of the city and sur
| roundings and are strongly in favor of
the proposed plan but the government
| always prefers an expression on the SUBJ
ject from the residents Of the state where
projected improvements are considered.
Mr.. Newell, who will speak on the Sec
ond subject, an early Typographical
Survey of the State" has forwarded to
Secretary Rich of the Portland Board, a
series of maps of the harbor that are the
finest ever fseen here. Mr.. Newell is
connected with the Washington Office
Of the coast survey and he will, in his
paper. give many interesting facts not
generally known even among our mer-
chants.
The third topic of Mr.. Stinson's, on
Summer Travel to- Minor Resorts in
Maine," opens up a line of thought that
cannot but impress itself ON our people
as showing what business this is and
what can be mado OF it.

CHAPMAN.J0NEs CASE.
Judge Peabody Ref uses the Mandarin
Writ.

Chapman Will Have to Pay Costs-What
Judge Strout Said in Rendering His De-
cision.
Yesterday. morning in the Supreme
court room In the mandamus case of l..
b. Chapman against L. Frank Jones.
clerk of the city of Deering,.. the argu-
ments we're made by W. H. Looney for
Chapman and City Solicitor Matthews
for Jones.
After the arguments were concluded
Judge Strout spoke briefly. He said that
it must be borne in mind that great
deal of distinction exists between large
cities and small cities and towns in con-
STRUNG the statutes. In large cities
where the duties of the Office of clerk are
such that either he or an authorized
deputy can be present all the time the
office is open to the public, the statute
expects the office to be kept open longer
than In the other case where there are
other duties for the clerk to perform and
there is no authorized deputy to take his
place.
he SAID IL was proper Tor MT. Jones to
decline to allow the records to be shown
in his absence. The records while open
to public inspection are to be kept in the
custody of the clerk, who should use the
same preoaution with the best citizens al
with the poorest. Papers that have not
been passed upon as matters of record
should not be given to any one. The
reason for requiring the clerks presence
when person asked to see the records
is because designing citizen might alter
or mutilate them to serve his own in
terests. In the case of the register of
deeds it is often necessary to have volumes
Of records introduced into court but the
register always brings them himself and
does not allow them to be taken out of
his possession.
The judge did not thing Mr.. Jones had
been unreasonable or lacking in his duty
to the public In the matter of allowing
Mr.. Chapman to examine the records.
The judge therefore denied the petition
for writ of mandamus and dismissed
the case. the decision being in favor OF
Mr.. Jones and adverse to Mr.. Chapman.

POLITICAL POINTS.
General Good Feeling Among Gold Demo-
brats-T The Maine CampaiGn-A Cam
paign Song.

The Vermont election has been the
great topic of conversation the past week
and many speoulatfons have been in
dufged in as to what Maine Will 90 a
week from Monday. Two years ago
Governor Cleaves received SO. 800 votes, to
40 4o6 for Charles f. johnson. This was
a nlurality of nearly 80, 600 for Governor
CIeaves 1t is the general feeling that
Maine ought to do lit tie better than
that this year although it seems too
much to expect in view of the fact that
in 1899 Governor Cleavss' plurality was
only about IL. 500. The vote that year
was Cleaves, 81, 900; johnson, 55. s97.
Speaker Reeds plurality In 1894 was
s,1e5 and this was unpr ecedented then
and regarded as not likely to be attained
again. But it would not be surprisinQ
If 1t should be surpassed this year. When
1t Is to be remembered that this used to
be the only close district in the state,
and actually went Democratic during the
war, these figures nre very significant.
The nominations made by the gold
Democrats at Indianapolis were generally
received with pleasure by the gold Dem

laxative and tonic that purities tile blood
aud strengthens the whole system. And
more than this: SIMMONS LIVER EeEGu-
LATOR regulates the Liver, Keeps 1t active
and healthy, and when the Liver Is in
good condition you find yourself free from
Malaria, Biliousness, Indigestion, Sick
Headache and Constipation, and rid of
that worn out and debilitated feeling.
These are all caused by sluggish Liver.
Good digestion and freedom from stomach
