A slow and lower market was had yesterday. There
was a rush of hogs in, unusual for February, and
quality very good. This. with lower markets east of
US. caused buyers to hold back and demand such
concessions that holders were reluctant to yield.
Hence, there was little early trading. But finally
buyers and sellers got together and GALES became
active at dl0c decline. Packers were all free buy
ers at these concessions. There was something doing
on order account and the bulk of the arrivals were
disposed OF by the close. The extreme range. 50. COG

Boston. February Ain order to hear
the manufacturers and mill men, the
joint committee on labor seat in the State
House to continue it's hearing on tbs in

ton of wages in New Bedford, Fall Rlv-
er and other textile cities.

River mills, also spoke in the same line.

money.

Mr. Flint said four per cent. Members
of the committee inquired If he thought
1t was good business policy to loan money

as follows:
"We, the citizens Of Dover and Foxcroft

attention to the lawlessness that exists IN
these towns, large quantities of liquor
are sold here in open defiance of law and
law abiding citizens and vendors declare
their purpose to continue the business
defying the courts to punish them. We
protest against this open disregard OF law

petition that the full penalty Of the law
be dealt out to all parties found guilty OF
selling intoxicating liquors and pledge
ourselves to do all in our power to have
the law rigidly enforced.

GREAT LOSS FROM THE.sToRM.

Waterville, February 24.-Conservative
estimates Of loss from the recent snow
storm places the figures at a million.
Three of the largest numbering opera
tives of the Kennebec river system agree
that there will be from 10 to ID per cent
less timber cut owing to the snow. A
large number of firms should be cutting,
yarding and landing. The former work
is suspended and landing is all that is
now possible. This is likely to advance
the price of lumber and be a great blow
to the wage earners known as river
men.
The water Of the Kennebec is slowly
rising, and continued soft weather with
rain endangers all property lining the
Kennebec, in which there is an average of
20 inches of Ice. ID
The merchants of the lower Kennebec
will do well to arrange for freshets.

unsuccessful attempt to increase the ap.

test an amendment to increase the appro-

Havre has not bean sighted at 9.15 this

he felt no anxiety as to the safety Of the
ship. He thought hsr machinery might
have broken down or become deranged,
and that she had to lie in mid-ocean to
make repairs. Even if the accident were
too serious for the engineers to remedy
at sea the ship would not be in great
danger according to M. Bocande, because
she had four masts on which enough sail
could be spread to enable her to keep her
