d. X. Drake of Frankfort was appointed a
Disclosure Commissioner.
A hearing on petition for writ of habeas
corpus in the case of Daniel O'COnnell will
be held at Bangor to-day before Chief JUS
tee Peters. The respondent was indicted
at the April term 1894, for keeping a com
mon nuisance. At the October term he was
tried and found guilty. At the January
term, 1896, he was sentenced to pay fine of
500, and in addition 4 months imprison-
ment in the county Jail, and IN default of
payment of said fine months imprisonment
in county Jail in addition to said months.
After adjournment of the Court the respond
ent, by his attorney, w. Fl. Mcclellan, ESQ.,,
applied to Chief Justice Peters, who is hold
ing Court in Bangor, for a writ of habeas
corpus on account of illegality of the SEN
tence. The statute provides that the punish
ment for nuisance shall be a fine not exceed
ing 81 ,OOO or imprisonment in Jail not more
than one year. A later law provides that
where statute provides for fine or impris-
onment the presiding justice may impose
either or both The general law in relation
to imprisonment for non-payment of fine is
that the respondent shall be released after
30 days imprisonment by giving his note for
the amount of the fine. The respondent
claims that 50 much of the sentence APP
plies to Imprisonment for non ayment of
fine is illegal, and an effort will be made to
abate that or possibly the whole sentence.
Norman Wardwell, Esq, will appear for
the respondent at the hearing.

The Evolution of the Yacht.

Through the courtesy of the Rudder
Publishing Co., 1856 Broadway, New York,
publishers of The Rudder, Americas
yachting magazine, The Journal is en-
abled to illustrate on the End page of this
issue the evolution of the yacht. The lines
of the most noted craft built on both sides
of the water from 1874 to 1895, inclusive,
are shown, so that the changes Of form,
the adoption Of outside ballast, its grow
ing proportion, the cutting away of ends
and increasing of draft etc., are seen at
glance. The journal believes that this
presentation will not only be of interest
to yachtsmen generally but of great value
to our local yacht and boatbuilders, who
are thus given the benefit of what has
been done in this line for more than half
century by crack builders on both
sides of the Atlantic. We had hoped
to quote literally from the letter
press which accompanied the illustra-
tions in The Rudder of Sept, 1895, but
this the demands upon our space will not
permit. The Rudder divides the history
of building and designing into three Pc
RODS, that prior to 1850 when the yachts
with hardly an exception possessed the
very fu bows and equally fine after ends
then common to the majority of CONNER
and mackerePs tail. -. :. 1.-The second
period was marked first by radical change
in design, no less than the turning of the
yacht end for end, the bow now approach
ing in fineness the run of former DAYS,
while the after end was made fuller as the
mldship section was moved to a poin.
abaft instead of forward of the centre of
the loadline. Under the influence of wide
ly different measurement rules and local
conditions, the yachts of America and
Britain departed more with each succeed
ing year both from the one original type
and from each other, until the two ex-
tremes OF the 'hat-iron' sloop and the
plank on edge cutter were reached each
rlgldly marked by its special rig as we'll
as model, and by the possession of the
centre board in one case and the keel in
the other''
Of later developments it is not neces-
sary to speak at length, so familiar have
they become through the Americas cup
contests. American designers and British
designers have been drawing together,
and Valkyrie Ill. was admittedly an
American boat in design while the Defen-
der approximated the British type The
centre board, as national type, has be-
come obsolete, and outside ballast has
come to stay. Little need be said as to
the fin-keels, as they are mere racing
machines at best and have not met with
sufficient success to ensure them much
prominence in the future. While racing
has its uses, and there are men of wealth
who can afford to enjoy it, the greatest
pleasure for the majority may be found
in wholesome, well-appointed going
craft, in which long or short cruises may
be made with comfort and safety.

In his recent lecture here DR.. Macarthur
not only told us of the great extent of
Russia but spoke of her boundless am
bition and referred to her reaching out for
posse ssions in the Orient. Since then the
report has come from over sea that an Of
fensive and defensive treaty between Rus
STA and Turkey has been arranged that
makes Turkey practically the vassal of
Russia. The denial that such treaty
exists, London despatch says, is regard
ed in well informed circles as ga mere
diplomatic bubble. The arrangement be-
tween the two Powers may not be en-
bodied in treaty. but it is becoming gen.
orally believed that an understanding ex-
lists between them that is tantamount to a
treaty."

The recent fires in Maine have provoked
comment that must result in good by
causing towns to look to their water sup
ply and fire equipment. The great fires
in Eastport and Pennington had much to
do with bringing about action in favor of
water works for Belfast, the necessity for
which had been urged by The Journal for
many years. In some cases it may seem
