Bangor Commercial: Servant girls
wages. even in the Capital city of the
State, were not exorbitantly high in
1882. if we may judge from an adver-
tisement under the head Of Girl
Wanted. which appeared in the Maine
Daily Journal as follows: Wanted
Immediately, an Industrious girl to do
the work i'll a family. The family is
large and one dollar a week will be
given" This advertiser does not say
50, but probably he kept a boarding
house for members of the Legislature,
which enabled him to make 50 reck-
lessly liberal an offer for kitchen help.
The farmers of Aroostook do not in

man was out with his moving machine

at 1890 O'Clock.

The Biddeford Journal is inclined to
wonder why only three commissions in
the new regiments of volunteers have
been given Maine, of which two have
been declined. This is hardly a fair
way of putting it as two other Maine
boys, Lieutenant Degen of Augusta,
and Lieutenant Fernald of Win
terport. have been given com
missions in these regiments
both of them being promoted from the
ranks of the regular army where they
had only recently enlisted. But the
journal is right in saying that Maine
has lots of good material for commits
sions. and it should be given at least
two more in place of the two who were
unable to accept the proffered com
missions.

TREASURY CONDITIONS.
Deficit for the Fiscal Year Reaches
S1O9, 300, 2SS.

Treasury receipts for April ale $l5,
400, 900 below those of March while
expenditures were $22, 800, 900 more.
The great difference, however, does
not indicate either large falling of
in the ordinary receipts or large in
crease in the ordinary expenses. In
March the receipts were increased by
the payment to the government OF
nearly $12, 900, 900 on account Of the
Pacific railway settlement, while the
expenditures were increased in April
by the drawing of the warrants for
the payment of $40, 100000 to Spain.
The receipts for April were Sal, GIL
5s7 and the expenditures were $55,-
S54, 900 showing deficit for the
month of more than $24, 900, 000.
The deficit for the fiscal year to date
amounts to $106, 800, 288.

The Charges Denied.

The first sergeant of Co. G, late
Second West Virginia volunteers,
who is now in business at Parkers-
burg says there is no truth in the
charge made by Fre6eriektown,
o., lawyer, that private Gauthier OF
his company died from severe treat
ment inflicted by an officer. eau
thier, he says died from pneumonia
fever contracted while absent from
camp without leave. He says that
while Gauthier fell by the roadside
on march near Camp Meade that
it was because he was intoxicated
and that he was properly cared for
and assisted by the very officer whom
he afterwards accused of mistreat-
ing him. He also says that the law
yer who now brings the charge is a
deserter from the same company.

INDIFFERENT TO SMALLPOX.
People Of Layton Have to Be Forced to
Take Precautions.

CoNNELLsvILLE, Pa, May A.
The indifference of the people of Lay
ton to the smallpox epidemic there
has caused DR.. L. III. White, of this
place, representing the State board Of
health, to deputize Frank Williams
to organize local board of health,
with power to enact local laws provid-
ing for the safety OF the people. The
Baltimore s. Ohio trains are still rum
ming through the town without stop
ping, and to-day an officer was sent to
guard the station there to prevent any
person from entering the town. The
ferry is still crossing the river at Lay
ton, however, and passengers are leav-
ing and entering the place by that
means.

MAY BE ALL RIGHT.
Yet Mr.. Mansfield Makes Some Com
parsons.

The board of regents of the State
University has lately increased the
salary of President Raymond from
", 1000 TO $4,000 year. This may
not be an excessive salary. 1t may
be more pay than a man who is
capable OF presiding over the Uni
versity ought to receive. Yet it is
5000 more than is paid the Governor
of the State and the ability demand
ed and the work required for dis
charging the duties of the executive
of the state are at least tantamount
to that required in managing the
University Few OF the people of
the State really know the amount
paid for salaries at the University.
OF the moneys appropriated by the
late Legislature to the University,
not less than $4,000 went for sal
aries. In addition to this fully $685.
600 is derived from the general gov
eminent and the several funds set
apart, and applied to salary. The
total amount paid for year will
approximate $4,000 If the man
agement is not careful it will over
do the matter of salary at the Uni
versity.

During greater part of the day a
rumor was afoat in town to the effect
that Fairchance was burning up and
there was no hope in saving the town
from total destruction. Hundreds Of
of people teleplloned to that place tor
confirmation of the report, but the
glad news came back that the town
was still safe from the god of fire.
This rumor started last evening by
some parties who saw the reflection of
the burning oil tank at Morgantown
and imagined it was Fairchance.

The hydrophobia scare has broken
out at several points in the State,
and the result is that a vigorous
campaign of determination is being
inaugurated against the unfortunate
CANNES. The cultivation of dogs is
probably given more attention, and
is being pushed with more vigor
than any other industry or interest
of like reward or remuneration. The
dog habit is growing evil and the
cost attending it is simply enormous.
Few counties in this State but have
more dogs than sheep, ana yet there
is no comparison in the returns that
might be derived from the two
species of animals. It is well that
the mad dog scare breaks out pc
riodically; otherwise, the country
could be overwhelmed with dogs.

VIRGINIA WINS.
The Old Dominion Gets the
First of the Two Games.

w. V. u. Defeated Yesterday in hard
Game Three Home Runs are not
Enough to Land the Prize Hard
Luck Story This Time for Sure Um-
pire Is Blamed with Part Of the De-
feat Another Game In Charlottesville.
University of Virginia again show
ed that she Is determined never TO
lose game on her home grounds.
She defeated West Virginia by score
of eight to five. Just how unlucky
our team is can be seen from the fact
that three out OF the five runs were
home runs made by Altman, Cooper
and Lewellen respectively. Had the
bases been partly full when these hits
were made we would have been win
ners.
But the bad luck that has followed
the team on the eastern trip was with
them and they lost the game. They
did rather better than they did the
day before and should have a great
deal OF praise for the showing made.
Virginia defeated Princeton nineteen
to four but they were only able to
whip our boys eight To five
Printz was in the box and Shelby
caught Print gave them twelve hits
but struck out seven men while the
Virginia man gave us eleven hits and
and only struck out four. However
neither side had their best pitcher In
and to-day the hot contest will be
waged
The error column was not as large
on yesterday as II has been before.
We made four while the Virginia boys
made three. So there was not much
choice In that direction. The tele-
gram giving the details OF the game
blamed the defeat in great part on a
rotten umpire. This is the first time
that the claim has been set up and
there is undoubtedly something In it.
The contest to-day will end the SER
les and the team will be at home ON

WHAT ABOUT 1T?
Inquiry about Joseph Bower comes
from Cinclnnati--H may be missing.

A telegram was received on Thurs.
day afternoon asking If a Joseph
Bower carpenter was missing from
Morgantown. The message was
from the Cincinnati Post Inquiry
over town revealed that fact that
such man had been here last sum-
mer and that he had gone from here
to Uniontown about ten months ago
He was seen there short time since
and for all that is known is still
there.
1t is thought that some accident
has happened to man who is pre-
sumed by the Cincinnati people to
be Joseph Bower a carpenter of this
place. Nothing more has been
heard of the matter.

FIRE is OUT.
The Tank is Now Nothing But
a Memory as Far as Fire
Goes.

Officials Have Gone Home-Are Well
Pleased With the Way the Blaze was
Held Down-Billy st Clair is Much
Better-Hearing Will Not be Perma.
nently Rehabilitation of the Tank
is Sayed-Sight Seers Still Visiting
the Scene.
The fire at the oil tank is now out
and things have settled down to their
accustomed composure in that neigh
borhond. The bottom of the tank
was saved but only two rings remain.
The rest was burnt and melted off.
The fire burned until late on Thurs
day before it had run out of material
to feed itself upon. All day Thurs
day people were going out to see it
and great many went out on Thurs
day evening after supper to take a
look at the scene and see how badly
things had been damaged.
The loss will not be very heavy on
the Eureka people who will lose only
the cost of the tank and the work of
the men who were employed to build
levees when it was thought that every
thing would be over whelmed. The
oil burned will be made up on all the
people who have Oil Ia the line and
they will be charged up their pro-rata
share of it.
People to the north of us did not
know what to make Of the fire and in
Uniontown they thought it was Fair
chance burning up. Country people
for miles around saw the blaze and
in some cases they knew what was
going on while in others they thought
that Morgantown was on fire. The
sight was seen for many miles in every
direction.
Billy ST. Clair is getting better
right along and there will be no seri
Gus or permanent damage done TO his
hearing which is nearly restored now.
At first it was feared that the cannon
had ruined his hearing. His burns
are getting along all right and it will
only be few days until they are well.
The mystery Of how the cannon went
off may never be discovered. The
man who was at the vent declares
that he was thumbing it well and
that the fire coming out of the vent
burned through his handkerchief and
burned deep hole in his thumb when
it went off. He was an experienced
man and would certainly not move
the thumb while the piece was being
charged.
The officials of the company includ-
ing Mr.. Scrafford who came from Pitts
burg and Mr.. Alexander from Man
nington have gone home. They were
very much pleased that the damage
was no worse and felt that the men
had done well to hold down the fire
as they had done. They feared gen.
.eral blaze when they first got here
but thanks to the efforts of those who
had been at work the danger was
averted. The loss had the fire gotten
into the rest Of the tanks or into the
station with all the houses around
there would have been almost meal
culable.
