rubbish were borne down against.the Vic

One OF the steamers, the Pearl started
from the north side of the river with about
eighty passengers aboard, Two steamers
were moored near the south side of the
river when the Pearl started. On APP

steered too far up the river and touched
the vessel in passing. The eddy caught
the ferry boat and slowed her broadside

How They Have Been Managed The
Past Year.

Report of the Observation-Disclosures
House of Correction Well Spoken of
Increase of Commitments for Debt
Franklin County's Single Drunk.
Augusta, March 25.-The deductions
of the inspectors of jails from their work
the past year are briefer than usual and
they express but little criticism.
They say that many improvements in
discipline and general management have
been made in the Androscoggin county
Jail.
Not quite SO much attention to clea nil
ness is given in the Aroostook county Jail
as is desirable.
The Portland Jail is the only one in
the state where the female prisoners are
under the immediate.superivsio and con-
troll of O matron. 1t is always neat, clean
| and well disciplined.
The franklin county Jail is always in
good condition and never contains many
| prisoners.
The Hancock county jail is in excel
| lent condition.
The Kennebec county Jail, the inspeo-
tors say, is one of the model jails.
The Knox county jail is comparative
ly new one. The Jail has not at all times
presented quite as clearly an appearance
as it should.
The Lincoln county Jail at Wiscasset Is
but little used except for tr amps. It has
always been kept in very good condition
Oxford county has erected q new Jail
at South Paris which will be ample for
the needs of the county.
The Penobscot Jail has been recently
improved and thoroughly renovated.
The jail presents very fine appearance
u Somerset county has erected new jail
at Skowhegan the past summer, ample
| and convenient for it's needs.
The Waldo county Jail at Belfast is
we'll managed. 1t has been kept neat
and clean, and is no longer filled with
tramps. The vigorous methods adopted
by the county commissioners and sheriff
have bsen most satisfactory in results.
The Washington county Jail at Maohias
Is one of the best managed in the state.
The York county Jail at Alfred is in
very good condition. At small expense
1t could be rendered much more conven
lent.

the business Of the jails:

Maiden, Mass. March 25.-This morn
ing about three O'Clock the police descend
ed upon a crowd that was witnessing a
dog fight in an unoccupied building in
Edgeworth and arrested forty-one of the
gang after a hard fight.
Several sports were injured and one
man was found outside the building after
the row, with two bullets wounds in his
body and the back of his head crushed
in. Several of those injured were quite
badly hurt.
The fight was between Boston an d
Medford dogs for a $500 purse. The ma IL
who was shot was Daniel Monahan of
Boston. The dogs were shot in the ring
by the officers.
In court this afternoon thirty nine of

ing Made jug Handle Conditions
Rigby Knew Exactly What it Was Doing.
The Breeder and Horseman, recen tly
published the following, and it has been
copied by many other journals. The
article appeared with the heading "Jug
Handle Conditions"
The managers of Rigby Park, Port.
land Me-. have opened thirty three stakes
worth $50, 500, for the two trotting meet
ings to be held there next August and
September. All of these stakes are to be
held under the old conditions, reserying
the right to declare off at any time any
event not filling satisfactory to theas soci-
alton. The New York Sun says evident
ly the Maine managers are not familiar
with the rules of the National Trotting
Association as amended at the recent BIZ
ennial congress or else they rely ON the
loose phraseology of the new turf code to
let them out of an apparent predicament
One of the provisions recommended by
the rule committee and adopted by the
congress is as follows:
In all purses three or more entries are
required and two to start unless other
wise specified. An association deviating
from this rule must specify how many
entries and starters are required and both
conditions must be fulfilled or the race
is off.
When this provision became law in
the trotting horse world everybo sup
posed that the one-sided plan of tyeing
strings to early CLOSING events had been
efectually done away with, and that
hereafter every association would be
forced to make known the exact number
of eutries required to fill it's purses and
stakes 1t is noticeable, however, that
the terms OF the new rule apply only to
"purses,' no mention being made Of
stakes. While nearly all of the early clos
ing events are virtually purses, and are
generally advertised as such, they never
theless come within the meaningless def
milton Of '.stakes'' as laid down by the
National Trotuing Association, hence it
may we'll be contended that the new rule
has no application when the events are
announced ash stakes" This is the case OF
the Rigby events, and 1T is just possible
that The down. East track managers know
exactly what they are about in sticking
to the jug handle conditions which every
body else supposed were a thing of the
past.
Manager Farnham yesterday sent the
following letter to the editor of the
Breeder and Horseman:

for the use of the Carlsbad Spru-
del Salt is that it goes to the
root Of the disease, while other
remedies strike only at the
disease.
Notice the distinction.
For instance Pills and purga-

bowels irritate and destroy the
mucous coats of the stomach
and bowels. A continued use of
such remedies produces chronic
Inflammation of the stomach and
bowels. The use of the genuine
imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt
is, therefore, highly recon-
mended because its action is due

without irritating the stomach.
