COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
The Court Asked to Appoint Appraisers
for City Lots.

The county commissioners yesterday
sent a request to the district court
for the appointment OF three apprais-
ers TO fix the alu of the four lots
west of the court house. two facing on
Granite street and two on Quartz
street. together with the improvements
on the latter. In their request the
commissioners state hat 1t Is lmpor-
tant that the county should purchase
the property for several reasons. The
first Is that the county jail Is over
crowded n room is needed for the
purpose of charging the prison. The
second reason Is that all the county Of
fees are also crowded to their utmost
capacity and that il is only a matter
of time until more office room Is needed.
The commissioners also sent a letter
to Mr.. Turner. or the Butte
General Electric company, informing
him that the county had never ordered
the arc light to be placed at the corner
of Granite and Covert streets n could
therefore not pay for IL.

Judge Clancy Changed His Ruie-Must
Have Two Witnesses.
Judge Clancy gave up his time yes
terday afternoon to examining appli-
cants for naturalization. He changed
his rule regarding applicants who claim
Z have come to this country under the
age of Is. Formerly he accepted the
unsupported statements of the appli-
cants. Yesterday he enforced the rule
that all such applicants for papers
would have to produce two witnesses
who had known them from the day
they landed in America. One applicant
had a witness who came to this country
with him, but Judge Clancy told him
he would have to have another witness
OF the same character. Among the
crowd n~aturalized yesterday were the
usual number of Austrians who could
not understand English. but swore that
they knew all about the constitution
and form of the American government
and would make good citizens. There
were some Italians. Fins. Russians and
Swiss. The following 40 were admitted:

THE TELEPHONE IN WASHINGTON
COUNTY.

1t is expected that Mr.. A. F. Jacobs,
of this city, superintendent OF construc
tion for the New England Telephone and
Telegraph Company, will make an ex-
tended tour through Washington County
this week for the purpose OF
looking after the extension Of that COM
pany's telephone lines in that County the
coming spring. The contract for poles
was made last fall, and as soon as 1t Is
practicable to go to work it is intended
to connect the eastern cities of Calais and
Eastport with Machias and the western
circuit, thus establishing direct oonneo-
tion with the rest of the world. 1t is
also expected to build line for ColuIn
bia, through Addison Point to Jonesport,
and another from Cherryfeld to Mil
bridge. This will give very complete
telephone equipment to the Washington
County towns, and will undoubtedly
largely increase the business of this COM
pany in the eastern part of the State.

NO PET MOOSE.

On Tuesday morning General Manager
Cram of the Bangor Il Aroostook rail-
road, received a telegram from Station
Agent W. l.. Coburn of Ashland, stating
that the guides there had big moose
yarded and could capture him easily, and
they wanted permission from tho game
commissioners to takel him to Boston to
the sportsmsn's show, which will open
there next Tuesday.
General Manager Cram wired the COM
missioners and they replied that they had
no authority in the matter. The general
manager told them that the moose would
bo returned and liberated in this state
after the show was over, but the commits
sioners would only say that they had no
authority to grant such request.
The law says that "No person shall
take, kill or destroy or have in possession
between the 10Th of October and the first
day of December, more than one bull
moose etc.
But the commissioners have given
authority before now to persons wishing
to carry game out of the state after the
season had closed. The section of the
law governing the transportation of game
says: "No person or corporation shall
carry or transport from place to place
any moose, caribou or deer, or part there
of in close ti,ne," etc.
This section of the law is hard to inter-
pref 1t docs not say whether the game
shall be dead or alive, but naturally one
would infer that 1t meant game that
had been killed,as it would be hardly pos
sible to transport "a part thereof un-
less the animal was dead.
The people of Ashland are sorry to be
refused permission to take the live moose
to Boston as they feel that it would have

Ts2ECIAL TO THE PREss.1

Washington, March 9.-The passage OF
the bill authorizing two additional regi-
ments of artillery on Monday, in the
midst of the war excitement, was taken
as one of the preparations for hostilities.
As a matter Of fact it was an ordinary
routine proceeding. Monday was suspen-
sion day, and by taking the bill up when
a two-thirds vote would enable the rules
to be suspended the matter could be at
tended to easily and expeditiously with
out interference from the committee on
rules. The new regiments, as is well
known, are needed for the new fortif1ca-
tions
The approved projects for the defenca
of the principal seaports of the country
contemplated the mounting of 1908 mod
ern guns and mortars at 104 localities in
81 harbors.
The system of seacoast defenses now in
progress of construction is based upon
the report OF the Board Of Fortifcatlons
and other Defenses appointed by tne
President under the provisions of the act
OF March g. 1886. The report of this
DOaru S6neCally kuoWu oo oiA0 i4noiooee
Board, was published in 1886.
Under instructions from the Chief of
Engineers it undertook the study and prep
aration of detailed projects for the artil-
lery and submarine mine defense of the
principal sea and lake ports of the United
States. Up to the present time projects
have been prepared and have received the
approval of the Secretary Of War for the
following ports VIZ: Penobscot River,
Maine; kennebeo River, Maine; Port
land, Me-; Portsmouth, N. H.; Boston,

AN ENGINE NEARLY RUINED,
Boston and Maine Round House at
KennebuDk Burned.

Biddeford, March 9.-The round house
owned by the Boston and Maine railroad
at Kennebunkport, was totally destroyed
by fire at an early hour this morning and
the locomotive which hauls the trains be-
tween the "Port'' and Kennebunk, which
is kept in the house at night was nearly
ruined.
About ]. 80 O'Clock, as villager was
passing the passenger station, he noticed
q bright light in the vicinity OF the round
house, and, making an investigation he
found that the interior of the building
was in flames. He gave the alarm, but
when the fire department arrived, the
flames were bursting through the roof,
and there was little hope of saving the
structure.
An effort was made by the fremen to
get out the engine, but every one who at
tempted to enter the building was driven
back by the flames. The engine will
probably be a total loss.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is supposed to have caught from the
locomotive Some, however, are of the
opinion that the fire was the work of an
incendiary and think that hrebug is at
work in the village.
The loss on the building and locomo-
tive is estimated at $1,000 which is covered
by insurance. Another engine was sent
from Portland early this morning to be
used on the branch.

Telegraphio orders cached Bath Mon
day from the Navy Department. at Wash
ington to Lieutenant McGrann, inform
ing him that he was nominated for duty
on the United States cruiser Columbia,
now being fitted out at League Island

The Columbia is the fastest war ship
afloat, and about two years and half
ago made the fastest run ever accom-
plished by any war vessel between South
arnpton, England and New York, cover
ing the distance in less than seven days.
Lieut.. MeGrann was on duty on the Co
lumbia for three years, and being familiar
with the vessel and one IF the first to vol
unteer his services, is among the first to
receive orders to respond. He has been
on duty in the government building at
the Iron Works as inspector of machinery
since last August.
