Probably as many Maine people are
pleased because of the appointment of
Gen. Joshua l.. Chamberlain as surveyor
of customs at Portland as at any event
in politics in Maine for many years.
Gen. Chamberlain is typical Maine
man. Born on the soil of the Pine TT. e
State, he WAS educated at Bowdon
college and Bangor Theological sen j.
nary. He became a professor at Bow
doin and laid aside his books for the
sW ord of lieutenant colonel of a Maize
volunteer regiment in the civil war. lie
came back from the war brevet mai)r
general and with the well-earned title Of
the "Hero of Little Round Top" in tie
battle Of Gettysburg. Then bis fellow
ctiZ wanted him for governor, and lie
served them well. Going from the
State House he was made president of
Bowdoin college and yielded the position
when the years of his life seemed to de.
maud it. He is a representative Maine
man, who has always been ready for any
duty

In making a survey for the proposed
Pacific cable some very interesting in
formation has been obtained. Capt
Belknap of the Nero, while taking
soundings near the island of Guam, dis
covered the extraordinary depression of
the seas bottom. He allowed the lead
to run out 29,47S feet before touching
bottom. Owing to i'll health, be left the
route unfinished and Lieut.. Hodges,
who succeeded him, began to make his
soundings from that point. Near the
18th parallel north latitude and the
146th meridian east, about 125 miles
from the former deep soundings, 31,614
feet of wire were paid out before touch
ing bottom. This sounding which lacks
but sixty-six feet of being six miles in
depth, breaks all previous records and
gains another victory for American
science. Prof. Agassiz, the greatest of
deep sea explorers, recently made the
deepest haul ever attempted with deep
sea trawl, 25038 feet, and to his aston
shment found in the bag number of
fragments OF salicious sponges, proving
that life is to be found at this great
depth. The bottom of the sea to the
present day, remains unexplored, as far
as life is concerned, but as discoveries
are made in the future, the bottom of
the sea will prove an interesting study.

JONES GIVEN TWELVE MONTHS.
DefaultinE Tax Collector Must Work
on Chniu-Gnng,

On
Quitman, Ga, June lin the Superior
Court here to-day the case of NJ. F.
Jones, ex-tax collector of Brooks county,
charged with embezzlement, came up fer
trial.
Jones was tax collector for many years
until the year 1896 when he was found 10
be short several thousand dollars of the
states money, which it is alleged he had
appropriated to his own use.
A jury was secured with difficulty ard
the case consumed nearly the entire day.
Late this afternoon the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, but recommended that
the defendant be punished as for a mis-
demeanor. Judge Gambler sentenced Jones
to twelve months on the public works.
Judge Gambler was appealed 10 to place
fine upon the defendanL-<sut refused
TO do SO.
Sheriff Connolly left to-day for Live Oak
Fla, for Dave Williams, who shot and
killed John Chapman at a dance about
three weeks ago. Williams will probably
be triad tomorrow.
In the case of assault with intent to
murder Judge Gambler charged the jury
at length his charge covering the points
of law involved and instructed them how
to make up their verdict. When they an
nounced their verdict it was exactly con-
trary to his charge and the Judge told
them that if they were better informed
as to law than himself he was not needed
here and had as we'll adjourn court. He
finished by telling them that they could
go to their homes, as such jurors would
not be needed. There will be two murder
cases for trial tomorrow.
