Recent Decrease Of Saw Mill Bust
ness in Maine.
Game Matters, Corporations and Other Topics
at The State Capitol.

| When the old members return to at
| tend this session Of the Legislature
| they will find many changes and al
terations The greatest changes is Of
course in the rotunda, which has been
spoken of many times. One improve
ment cannot fail to be noted with
more than usual favorable comment.
| That is the new portraits that are now
being hung Hardly week has
i passed Of late when some new por-
trait Of a Maine man who has gained
prominence. is placed in this part of
the Capitol.
The work Of putting in the lighting
fixtures is now occupying the greater
mart of the time of those who are
making changes. This change Will be
50 comnIete that it cannot but be
but greatly admired. These changes
with other minor alterations will give
the state House in places an entirely
new appearance. No other changes
win be made this fall. The restau-
rant will he run as usual but it is not
vet decided who will have charge of it.
Adjutant- General Richards who has
becn confined to his home for several

department.
The annual fall cleaning is now III
progress, work having been COM
mcnced yesterday in the educational
department. Instead of taking up the
carpets another method of cleaning
has been resorted to. This Is 10
cleanse the carpets while they are
down Nearly every room in the build
ing has been treated in this manner.
That there are plenty of deer in the
Maine woods. in spite of the fact that not
as many have been brought out as usu-
al Is shown by the recent statement OF a
glIide who said: There are plenty OF
signs Of deer but il is hard 20 get at
them Up to October $, it was so noisy
in the woods that no one could hunt deer
with any degree of success. After that
came a period when no one wished q Set
out and hunt With good weather fromthis
time on the hunters ought to be very sue
cessful. Another thing that has kept the
records down is that many or the sports
men have been content to kill but one
deer and having eaten that in camp,
returned home empty handed. thereby
cutting the record down one or two deer

The question of whether or not Maine
will ever again have as many saw mills
AZ it had in former years was discussed in
one OF the departments recently those
who had watched the matter closely
gave as their opinion that it would not.
An instance of an up river town was
cited. That was formerly one of the
principal saw mill towns in the State.
When the saw mills were burned no ef-
fort was made to replace them. As a
reason for this it was stated that the
pulp mills had forced up the price OF
logs. Their methods of operai IN were
such that the pulp mill men could afford
10 pay dollar or two more thousand
for the logs. This forced the price Of
lumber up to a place where the saw mill
owners could not carry on business to an
ADVANTAGE Therefore the manufacture
Of lumber began to decrease. Another
thing is that but little Of the pine lumber
il used in finishing new buildings at the
present time as some Southern WOOD Is
used in its place.
With these conditions it is not yet APP
parent ii any Of the mills will be rebuilt

ness was accounted for by the time re-
quired to go from his own box to the
nearest one to him. The alleged disorder
of the box was denied by Superintendent
of Signal System Foley, Sergeant Coffman
and Roundsman ,Noonan. Coffman was In
charge of the station house of the Sixth
precinct ON the night in question. When
he heard from Roundsman Noonan he
told the latter to cali up from the box
reported to be out of order. The Rounds
man did so and the box worked all right.
Patrolman Simon Golden of the Sixth
precinct was before the Board TO explain
his presence in the saloon of julius Vetter.
No. 104 Franklin avenue, ON April is. He
was arraigned on complaint of Inspector
Archibold, who saw Golden enter the sa-
loon. Golden said he had Health Board
notice to serve on Vetter and went into
the saloon to perform that duty. The
Health Board books were produced to
show that no notice of any kind had been
issued to Vetter for a month before the
day on which Golden said he served the
notice Then the question of whether the
Health Board issued notices of which no
record was kept was raised by Gleason
and denied. The story received no corro-
boration. but the Board considered that
his guilt was not proven. Golden has an
excellent reputation for temperance, and
when the Board rendered its decision
President McGill laid special stress on
this fact. Golden was warned not to go
into saloon again while in uniform.

RAYMOND is INSANE.
His Son Caused His Arrest Because
He Threatened His Wife.

A pitifua scene was witnessed about
nine O'Clock last evening in the Com
munfpaw avenue station house, when
Louis H. Raymond, forty-seven years old,
of No. rs Boyd avenue, plead with the
police and his son Frederick to be allowed
to go home again. Raymond was brought
to the station house on complaint of
Frederick G. Raymond a son of the
prisoner, who claimed that the home was
unsafe with the father there, as he. in fits
wife on several occasions and also to
wreck the home.
DR.. Bogardus was consulted. Upon his
advice the family decided to send the
demented man to the insane asylum for
their own personal safety.
Raymond is a travelling salesman for a
New York hat firm. For several years he
has suffered from locomotorataxia. and
recently he showed symptoms of insanity.
He grew worse each day and assaulted
his wife and son on several occasions. A
few days ago he made an attempt to kill
his wife. DR.. Bogardus was called in and
he told the family after examining the
patient, that Raymond was not responsi-
BILE for his actions, as he was clearly out
of his mind. -
Frederick Raymond swore out a war
rant of disorderly conduct against his
father before Justice of the Peace Charles
Roe few days ago, and last night Ser
geant Booth and two officers went to his
home to arrest his father. They had no
trouble in inducing him to go to the sta
tion house in the patrol wagon. Ray
mond appeared nervous and Ill at ease
when arraigned and his pedigree was
taken. He answered all questions put to
him by Sergeant Edwards, but walked
around the floor in an absent minded
manner.
When searched there were more than a
dozen small lead pencils found on his
clothes along with pen knife and some
horse-chestnuts. Justice of the Peace
Row committed him to the County Jail
as the police were afraid he would in
jure himself If lodged in the station
house unmatched. Frederick Raymond
almost wept when his father was taken
away, but remarked that there was moth
ing else to do. The family desire him
put away and will urge the police to
do this.

The new HIGH SCHOOL.
Mayor Hoos Asks Financiers
to Act and Act Quickly.

Mayor Hoos appeared at the meeting of
the Finance Board yesterday afternoon
and asked the Financiers what shape the
resolution regarding a new High School
was in.
Commissioner Midlige called attention TO
the fact that the matter had been taken
out of the hands of the Finance Board
and put into the hands of the Board Of
Education by an act passed by the Legis-
lature at its recent session.
The Mayor said he understood that that
act was unconstitutional Corporation
Counsel .McDermott had submitted such
an opinion His Honor said that he could
not see that the act barred the Finance
Board from working for a new High
School.
Mr.. Middige said he understood Mr.. Nc
Dermott to say that portions of the act
were unconstitutional and that other por-
tions were constitutional. City Attorney
Queen said he understood Mr. McDer-
motifs opinion was to the effect that the
city should observe the constitutional por-
tions of the act. Mr.. Mfdlige was of the
opinion that if the city attempted to sell
bonds for the new buildings erection
there was a possibility of the courts in
terfering.
Commissioner Mullins said Mr.. Nc
Dermott had told him the Board should
go on and act just as thought no act
had been passed.
Tie Mayor called attention to the fact
that Newark had bupflt a High School
building and had met with no niterfer-
ence, but Mr.. Midhge cited case of the
Trenton High School built under SPECIAL
act that was knocked out by the Coudt
of Errors and Appeans-
President Lembeck said he understood
from Mr.. Dermott that the Board of
finance should go ahead
Mr. Midlige said all the power 1t had
was to appropriate the money. He also
called attention to the already enormous
debt of the city and advised that the mat
ter rest for awhile. To this the Mayor
replied that the city had much to show
for the money appropriated. He cited the
liberality of the Board in appropriating
money for the Free Public library build
ing. He also cited the City Hall and a
number of big street improvements.
President Iembeck called attention TO
the fact that the Board had on its minute
books a resolution favoring the purchase
of the Harrison estate' for site. Person
ally he favored that site The location, he
said, ought to be central.
The Mayor asked the Financiers not to
allow the High School movement to be
side tracked. He also said a new school
of the Old No. 2 School building on Erie
street.

SUIT AGAINST THE CITY.
cavanagh Got $4s on a $1,000
Claim and Nolan His Money
With Interest.

suit of John Cavanagh against the
Mayor and Alderman of Jersey City for
5000 for extra work on the Rayine road
sewer was tried in the Supreme Court
Tuesday. The plaintiff was represented
by former Senator William d. Edwards
and the defendant by present Senator and
Corporation Counsel Allan L. McDermott.
Cavanagh testified that after tho work
was commenced the Ravine Road Sewer
Commissioners made alterations In the
plans. The route of the sewer was chang
ed, and the trench already dug had to be
rehlled and new one opened. Besides
this six additional manholes had to be
built.
Mr. McDermott moved for non suit on
the ground that the extra work had not
been ordered in writing He admitted that
the Sewer Commissioners who were ap-
pointed by the Court had the right to or
der the extra work but the order must be
given in writing, and there was no evil
denee that such written orders had been
given.
Mr.. Edwards said that the Connis-
sioners had paid Cavanagh 5000 for ex-
ira work which had not been ordered in
writing, and by so doing had waived the
requirement of giving written orders. Mr.
Cavanagh had done the work on the order
Of the Commissioners, and was entitled TO
his compensation. Justice Lippincott non
suited the claim with the exception of the
item for manholes. The price for these
under the contract was IS each and Jus
tice Lippincott directed the jury to find a
verdict for the plaintif for S4S with In
terest.
The next case tried was suit of Com
tractor John Nolan against the county for
extra work in his contract for maintaining
the southern end of the Boulevard during
1888. Senator McDermott appeared for the
plaintiff in this case and the defendant
was represented by County Attorney
Young. Contractor Nolan claimed a total
of s5,7S1.4O, of which s1,1s590 was for re-
tanned percentage, S237 for sprinkling and
the balance for extra work. The extra
work was not certified to by John C. Kai-
ser, who was then Superintendent of the
southern end of the Boulevard. Mr.. Nc
Dermott abandoned the claim for extra
work, which had not been certified to.
and Justice Lippincott directed a verdict
for 81, 409.20 with interest.

SAID MINISTER LIED.
Mary Burke Tried to Discount
DR.. Aylesworth's Defence
of Young Man She
Sued.

Mary Burke was complainant IN a suit
against a young man in the Second Grim
ina1 Court yesterday, charging him with
being the father of her child. The Rev.
DIR. Aylesworth, pastor of Simpson
Methodist Church. appeared as witness
in the interest of the young man, whose
parents are members of the Simpson
Church
DR.. Aylesworth told how the complain-
ant came to him and solicited his in
fiuence in inducing the young man to
marry her He related the entire COM
versation that passed between himself
minister declared that one of the reasons
advanced by the woman as to why the
young man should marry her was that
he was good looking and earning good
wages. the complainant created some
what of a sensation by jumping to her
feet and exclaiming:-
You lie, even if you are minister"
DR.. Aylesworth was indignant. The
action of the woman did not improve her
case. The evidence was not sufficient at
any rate to convict the defendant and
Justice Murphy decided in the young
mans favor
The complainant abused not only the
minister and defendant but the court as
well, and it was necessary for Court
Officer Murphy to warn her. After the
case was closed the clergyman who felt
that he had been grossly maligned, spoke
in most sympathetic way of the
woman

New Styles in Gloves.

Style in street gloves is to be found in
the latest suedes, which have a masculine
look quite in keeping with the toppy box
coats and the tough-looking little boots
and Oxfords in which Mademoiselle
chooses to encase her extremities.
Though ever so English these gloves
are French.
They come in three colors, a most
dainty pastel gray, the ever beautiful
mode shades and black.
AS to cut, they are without reproach.
But the great, compelling feature is the
fastening. This is accomplished by means
of two buttons on each glove. And such
buttons! They are of pearl, very solid
looking, and quite three-fourths of an
inch each in diameter.
There's such great comfort in feeling
oneself well gloved.

SOLD BAD STAMPS.
Two Bayonne Men Charged
With an Effort to De-
fraud Revenue
Office.

United States Commissioner Isaac
Romaine had before him today two men
charged with attempting to sell fifty
three revenue stamps which had been
washed or from which the cancellation
maks had been removed. The prisoners
were Eugene Garvin. of Bayonne, and
Ransom NJ Botsford, of Boulevard near
Fifty-second street, Bayonne.
1t appears from the statement of
Revenue Officer j. E. Taylor, that on
Monday Botsford walked into the office
of Auctioneer f. G. Wolbert, on Mont
gomery street and showing the stamps
said
Are these any use to you?"
Mr. Wolbert examined them and saw
that hey hadt been washed. He careless
ly replied that if his visitor would leave
the stamps and come in the next day he
would probably buy them. The man hand
ed his card to Mr.. Wolbert and left the
store When he had gone Mr.. Wolbert
telephoned to the Internal Revenue office
and officers of the department came to
the officeth mkt day and WIN Bolsford
came in they nabbed him. The officers
arraigned them before Commissioner
Romano VINO was inclined 10 DSiieVe Inc
prisoners story that he knew nothing
about the stamps excepting that Garvin
gave them OF him to SELL Bail was fixed
at $500 in his case.
Then the officers obtaining knowledge
of Garvin's whereabouts caught that
gentleman. He was locked up in the
Revenue office and actually jumped out
of second story window into Sussex
street and skipped off to Bayohne, where
he was re-arrested. He showed fight,
talked big about not being taken. alive
and other brave things. Before Commits
sioner Romaine this morning he cooled
down and was committed to jail in $3.50
to await the action of the United States
Grand Jury.
Garvin blamed Bolsford and the latter
said that Garvin was the author of the
crime The fact that Botsford gave his
right name and address and returned the
second day to sell the stamps to Mr..
WoIbert made a favorable impression on
the Commissioner. Garvin, it is said. Is
an old hand at the washing game" and
possesses a fluid which almost renders it
impossible to determine whether a stamp
has been cancelled or not.
