this case.
Unless at our coming fair we shall
exhibit the products of our soil to ar
extent that would at least substanti'
ate or verify our previous claim, il

emit to the verifcation Of our elaine

MAINE NATIONAL GUARD.
Capt. Morton Makes His Report to wa
Department..

Augusta, October 2s.-Capt. G. G. Nor
ton in his report to the War Department
concerning the Maine National Guard,
says the strength consists of 1lS officers
and 1895 men. The average per cent at
tending muster was SO. He gives good
report of the Signal Corps, but recon-
mends better equipments. Troops could
be concentrated in "a hours If needed. He
recommends later style of rifles; that the
national appropriation for guard be in
creased; that more regular army officers
be sent to attend muster; that revised
drill be issued soon; that close order drill
be out down; that post for regiment
of infantry be established at Bangor.
He praises the rifle shooting and the con-
dition both physically and mentally of
the men. Stricter discipline is advised.
A good report of the clothing Is given.
A great fault, prevalent at drills. is that
the movements are rarely explained and
there is but little criticism. A new arm
DRY at Portland, costing $50, 900, has been
erected. The disposition of the citizens is
very kindly toward the guards. Two
companies have been disbanded andstwo
formed. The drills were well attended.
On the whole the report shows that the
work of the guard is fairly satisfactory,
although improvements should be made
In the equipments and drills.

AN ENFORCEMENT sPAsM.
Calais is Threatened With One just at the
Present Time.

Calais, October 25.-An interesting
meeting of the Calais city council was
held this week, the chief matter being the
of special officer to enforce
the liquor law.
1t will be remembered that Officer E.
A. Townsend who was appointed to this
office sent In his resignation some time
ago. the reason being that the CITY had
decided that it was an unnecessary ex-
pense to pay an extra officer to do work
which it was generally understood the
regular officers were supposed to attend
to.
A movement was on foot among few
interested parties to induce the city coun-
Gil to appoint Game Warden French to
this office, with the assurance that Mr..
French would promise to close all the
LIQUOR saloons in month. This arrange.
ment met with the approval of the mayor
but Alderman Thompson and other MEM
bers of the city council could not see the
necessity of paying officers to enforce the
laws and then appointing extra ones to
do the work, at an additional expense to
the city. After heated debate it was
voted that City Marshal Miller be in
structed to enforce the prohibitory law in
the most rigid manner and some interest
ing developments are anticipated.

A BAD CAvE-IN.

g. II. wilkins. one of the owners Of the
Monsoon Burnah Slate company, was
seen by a Bangor Commercial reporter
Thursday. Mr.. Wilkins was on his re.
turn to Portland after weeks visit to
the Monson property. He said that the
debris resulting from the recent cave-in
at the quarry would require 20 men
three months to remove. Some of the
slate in the mass would be tlt to use,
but the quantity was not large. Owing
TO the increased demand for slate at this
season the company will be forced to buy
of the Monson Maine quarry to supply
its orders. The crack In the ledge which
finally resulted in the cave-in was first
noticed about n year ago, SO the result
WAS not at all surprising. Some of the
caye-ins that have taken place at the
ouarries in Monson have been beneficial,
while others have been very expensive.
Occasionally q new vein of slate of most
excellent quality is uncovered, the looa-
ton of which had been previously I'm.
known.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
8 ONE of the Matters Talked OF at Meet
ing at skowhegan.
(Biddeford Record.)

County Commissioners 8. S. Andrews,
Isaac Hanscomb and N. L. Purinton of
this county. attended convention of
Maine county commissioners at Skowhe.
gan yesterday.
Nearly all of the counties were repre-
sented and the convention was interest
ing and might be made profitable if the
commissioners would act az they voted
on the questions which come up for dis
cussion.
The entire afternoon session was TAX
en- up with discussion Of the questions
which were rendered the chair by the
commissioners. The first was, "Should
we allow more than one travel for con-
veyance of one or more prisoners to jail?"
After some little discussion. by vote of
the convention the question was decided
in the negative.
The second question before the oonven-
ton was: "Should the county pay an
aid to an officer or should the officer pay
him?" It was finally decided to official
ly adopt the plan of first deciding wheth-
er an aid was necessary and If so the
county 6nOulu pay QlIn.
"Can an officer legally collect a fee
trials" was easily disposed of, as it is
the law that he cannot.
The question Of custom in different
counties as to the rights allowed clerks
of courts relative to the purchase of Sta
tionary, was found to be one which each
county must decide for itself. The gen.
eral opinion seemed to be to allow each
clerk to use his own Judgment as to the
amount. ETC.. and send the bill to tbs
county.
The most important question which
arose for consideration WAS the tramp
problem. All sides Of this important
problem was turned to the light and
viewed from all sides. The stone yard
plan which is now being carried on
successfully in Aroostook county, was
commented on very favorably, but the
plan was found impossible in other coun-
ties. 1t seemed to be the general opinion
that some severe measures must be dealt
out to "Wandering Willie"
The proper source of authority should
be the legislature. A law should be
made that would send them to the state
prison.
A committee consisting of Written Of
Penobscot, Smith of Somerset, Chandler
Of Androsooggin, was appointed by the
chair to investigate the matter thorough
ly and report the result and go before the
legislature at the next session in the in
terest of the problem, having held very
successful and exceedingly profitable ses-
sion.

AWARDED TO FLAHERTY.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, October 2s.-An
audience Of at least 1900 people was
present at the meeting under the auspices
OF the Horizon Athletic club here tonight.
The star event was the bout between
Martin Flaherty OF Lowell. Mass, and
Danny Mcbride Of New York. This was
announced to BIZ q 10 round 90 In the
point of science Mcbride was away ahead
Of Flaherty but did not have the staying
qualities. In the second round Flaherty
committed Internationally a foul and
WAS warned by Referee White. After
Flaherty was more careful. In the 10th
round Flaherty had Mcbride going and
the in fighting became SO close that they
clinched and the referee went in to
separate them. At that time one of Mo-
Brides seconds went into the ring and
interfered and then the referee awarded
the decision to Flaherty. 1t is the
opinion, however, that Mcbride, but for
the interference, would have stayed in the
fight to the full number of rounds.
