Chairman J. +. Peaks of the board of
railroad commissioners, was in the city,
Thursday afternoon, while upon his way
home. He said the hearing that was to
have taken place. Thursday on the peti
ton of the Atlantic Shore Iinc Railway
had been declared off on account Of tn
request of the petitioners. This was some
what of Il surprise. it would seem, to tn.
steam railroad men, as the Boston 4,
Maine Railroad was prepared to fight the
petition. which asked for the approval OF
a line from Biddeford to York running
almost parallel with that of the steam
roads. Chairman Peaks did not know Of
any reason why the petitioners had de
cidcd to withdraw without a hearing.
The commissioners are almost through
with their inspections, having but the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad and fine
Washington County Railroad left that
they must inspect, this fall.

Councillors Don a. II. Powers and s. NJ
Bird left on the forenoon train, Thursday,
for Aroostook county where they will Wis
it that famous spring belonging to the
Aroostook councillor. This spring is sit
uated at the camp of Councillor Powers
near Mount Chase not far from Houlton.
This is the place that is noted for the
fact that it was written up several years
ago by a bright newspaper man who
added all the flights of his mind not con
lining himself to the facts beyond his
beautiful description of the place Then
he told of the search for the spring by an
old man. How he drank of the waters
az t.ie "ou.h was restored. How the
Pc '.- i:u! ever after been searching for
the spot and this spring of eternal youth.
He pictured it so prettily that many
readers of the paper We're lead to believe
it was an actual occurrence and they be
gan writing to Councillor Powers about
the place until his mail exceeded that of
any man in the northern Maine region
and HoultOn's postoffice came very near
being added to the list with Augusta ami
other large places.
So ii can be assumed that when the
two councillors appear for the meeting in
November each will have regained all the
vigor of his youth from having partaken
of the sparkling waters.

AN INTELLIGENCER BREAK.

The Pecksniffian and pretendedly
virtuous Intelligencer yesterday ex-
pended a considerable amount of
gray brain matter in a vicious attack
upon the Register anent the interview
with Senator n. B. Scott, printed in
this paper directly from the lips OF
Senator Scott and published in the
Intelligencer from another source, and
this paper with a numebr of
statements, among them the as
sertion that it published the item ex-
clusively; and upon this nail it hung
a lot of characteristic PecksniffiRn
balderdash, and an assumption of
virtue which it could never obtain
outside of its own cock-loft.
The Register ignored the rambling
nonsense contained in Saturdays is
sue Of the Intelligencer, and would do
the same with the rather less import
ant diatribe of yesterday, were it not
that a few people might accept its
publications as containing
some germ CT fact. In this view and
with the hope that it may close an in
cident not particularly pleasant to one

A NEW RECTOR
To Be Appointed for the Benwood Catholic
Church.


Church.
1t was learned yesterday that Rev.
Father Hugh p. McMenamin has re-
signed the rectorate of st. John S
church at Benwood, on account of his
ill-health, and that his successor is to
be appointed shortly, probably during
the week. Father McMenamin has been
unable to perform his duties for some
days past owing to his impaired health
and only recently was taken to the
North Wheeling hospital for treatment.
The reverend gentleman is suffering
from complication of rheumatism and
dropsy, but his condition is not thought
by the attending physician to be SER
ious. Rev. Father McDermott has been
conducting the services at the church
during the illness of the rector, and will
continue until an appointment is
made
Father McMenamin has occupied the
pulpit at st. Johns church for the past
twenty-five or thirty years, having
come here from Philadelphia. He
might we'll be termed the father of this
particular edifice of worship, for its
present fiourishing condition is due to
his efforts great measure.

The Republican Council caucus, for
the selection of candidates for the city
Gas Board, to be elected at the meeting
of Council to be held on the second
Tuesday in October, was held last even
ing. and the old Board. which consists
of MeSSrs. E. Buchanan, DR.. Ford and
Julius Pollock, was renominated with
out particle of friction. The name of
ex-Mayor Butts was not suggested, nor
were any others aside from the three
named.
lie session was held at the City Hall,
and then adjourned to Bader &
Maurer's, on Market street. and was
largely attended Three of the Repub-
lican memIbers-Messrs, Maurer, Nc
Cormick and Schockey-were absent,
but their places were filed informally
and unofficially by a long list of Repub-
lican Office holders and politicians,
among them being the Sheriff, the City
Clerk, his assistant, the City Receiver,
Republican members of the Board of
Trustees, members of the Board of Com
missioners and otl>rs of the faithful,
there being aboue forty-five in all.
The session was organized by the Sc
lection of Mr.. Maxwell as chairman,
and Clerk O'Brien as secretary. The
formal business of nominating the old
Board occupied but a few minutes, and
they were elected without trouble.
Then a brief season of eloquence was
in order, and calls were made for adj
dresses, with numerous responses. NJ.
A. Chew addressed the meeting upon

The Importance Of the North End; "

it ran on. Messrs. Frank Thompson,
Will Gutman and others modestly de-
clined to speak, but there was, never
theless, no lack of orators, and the ses-
sion was prolonged until reasonably
late hour, when refreshments were
served" as the society reported would
say.
1t was bang-up affair, from first
to last, and quite a success.

or two gentlemen not connected with
the Intelligencer, It may be briefly sta
ted that the Register published an ex-
elusive interview with Senator Scott,
while the Intelligencer published an
interview not had with the Senator by
any one connected with the Intelligen-
GER once, but simply secondhand
version of his remarks.
The matter isn't really an important
one of itself; but the Intelligencer Of
ten assumes the role of a Pharisee and
hypocrite, and once in a while is de-
serving of a mild rebuke.
As for the Register prejudicing Sen
ator Seott's laudible ambition. and ar
raying 3one-half the people" against
it, that is pure rot. and will be uni
versally recognized as such. The Reg
lister is an earnest advocate OF Mr..
SCOTS idea, and has repeatedly said
so in various ways. 1t is the Intelll-
gencer which is acting the dog in the
Manager" to its own peculiar and I'M
enviable honor and glory.

In Which the Charge Was Serious, Settled
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Yesterday morning George Beecroft
was arrested by Constable Moran on
a warrant sworn out by Miss Sarah
He'll, before Squire C. S. Greer, of the
South Side, the charge being bastr-
dy, and was committed to Jail in de-
fault OF a bond of $500 for a hearing
in the criminal court. AS the story
goes, the child in the case was born
on August 18th and it was at that
time that the accused was called away
on business to points in Pennsylvania.
He returned to his home here last
Sunday and the warrant was at once
sworn out.
During the afternoon at the request
of the prisoner, Miss He'll visited the
gail, and a mutual agreement wa1
reached. He promised to marry her
and pay the costs and she consented
and thus the case was settled. Both
parties reside ON South Market street.

appeared before Justice Fitzpatrick
yesterday and made information
against Ann Blattner, charging her
with throwing vitriol over her and
threatening to kill her. Luckily the
acid did not touch Mrs. Wolfe's face,
but fell over her clothing. The case
was set for 1880 o'clock last evening
but neither side was ready for trial
and the case was continued until this
evening at 1880 o'clock.
The trouble occurred in the notorious
Parker block, at Main and Twenty

throwing could not be learned.
