PEMAQUID MONUMENT.

A measure which will attract the atten-
ton of members Of the Maine Historic
society and all students of the early his
tory of the state will be introduced soon.
1t provides for state aid in the preserva-
tion OF the ancient street and other re-
mains OF the settlement at Pemaquid.
A VISIT FROM COLONEL GREEN.
Colonel j. n. Green who for many
years was a prominent figure in the move
ment to secure railway in Washington
county and.who built the line which is
now the Mt Desert branch of the Maine
Central was in the city today and visited
the State House. When asked what
brought him to Augusta the colonel with
q twinkle in his eye, said a railroad train
brought him. He aided that being in
Waterville he thought he would run over
and see the boys. Those of the boys who
are interested in railroads showed "A great
deal of interest in the call from Colonel
Green and when some one said that the
Colonel had been looking over the history
of the Knox and Lincoln, various wise
men announced that he probably proposed
to build line from Rockland to Belfast
AGAINST PURSE SEINES.
1t is reported that later in the winter q
movement may be made to pass a law
against the use of purse seines in the
waters OF the coast. There have been
several such measures presented to pro-
hibit SEEMING in certain localities, but the
bill of which there is gossip would apply
10 all the waters over which the state has
Jurisdiction.
PRESQUE ISLE WAR.
There will be- contest over a propo-
sition to set of about six taxpayers from
the Presque Isle fire district The tax
payers in question say :that their build
ings are so far from the village that they
30 not share in the benefits for which they
are taxed. The bill setting them off was
introduced by Judge Smith of Presoue
Isle and 1t was not at first supposed that
any body would make objection. Now
il is said that there win not only be a
contest but lively one. The case Of the
Presque Isle Six will be heard by the
Judiciary committee. =

Four Prisoners Escape from the
County Bastile.

Special to The Scranton Tribune.
Milford, Sept. 4.-The four prisoners
who broke out of the Pike county jail
on Saturday have not yet been cap
tured. A telephone communication
this afternoon to Milford stated that
the authorities had given up hunting
for the men. This is in accordance
with Pike county justice. Little ex-
pense was made in trying to find the
prisoners. The escape was made on
Saturday during the absence of Sheriff
Nandermark. The men had freedom
of the corridors. They got on top Of
the tier of cells and with a small
pocket knife cut a hole through the
ceiling and floor of the garret. They
entered the apartment of the shcri T
and secured several sheets and dropped
into the principal street of the village.
The prisoners made their escape before
discovery was made.
The men who escaped were Michael
Crash, farmer who brutally clubbed
his wife; stephen Wands, serving a
sentence for burglarizing an Erie sta
tom Thomas Carrell, a plumber, AMI
