Local Matters.
STATE HOUSE.
Governor and Council Will Meet This
Afternoon and Evening.
Hearing Of Railroad Commissioners Novel
Way Of Advertising Town.

The Governor and Council will be at
the State House, this afternoon, for
special meeting. 1t will be short ses-
sion, iii all probability. as there IS only
one pardon hearing to come before the
Council. 1t is that of George M
Thomas of Chelsea. who is serving a
4-years' sentence for passing two
worthless checks He was sentenced
by the August term of the Penobscot
supreme court and asks for a pardon
on the ground that the firm for which
he was travelling sent the checks TO
him and he did not know they were
worthless. George e. Sheldon of this
city, will conduct his case.
This is not the final meeting of the
year, but is called to dispose of some
matters which are ready so as to re-
lieye the congestion which IS always
present at the close of the year, and
more especially just before the opening
of the Legislature.
The Council will remain throughout
the evening for attendance at a social
function in the new Senate Chamber
which was postponed from last month,
on account of the untimely death OF the
late Councillor E. Dudley Freeman.

September term of the supreme court
in '96, for an attempt to shoot his
'brother-inlaw, H. r. Hopkins. Burns
is in excellent health and is looking
forward to mis- release which is not far
away, as he will secure the usual de-
duction of time for good behavior.
This same man also inquired for Rose
Carson White. She is still under the
care of the doctors, and is in very bad
condition from the effects of the ex-
posture attending her recent break for
