PETTY LARCENY.
Frank Libby Is Charged With Steal
ing at Hotel North.
Cigars and Money Missed While Pris-
oner Was Employed There.

City Marshal II. NJ. Breen went to
Portland. yesterday forenoon. and
brought back Frank, Libby. a for.
mer bell boy at the City Hotel
and at Hotel North, who some
weeks ago left the latter house and went
to the Falmouth House to work. He was
brought here on the train arriving at 1233JJ
and locked up to await a trial upon the
charge of petty larceny At 2 o'clock the
case was called up in police court and
several witnesses were heard in the case.
The complaint alleged the larceny of nine
cigars from the cigar case in Hotel North,
but testimony brought out the fact that
not only these but fruit from the fruit
closet and money also had been missed.
Libby came here from Togus. some
months ago, and was at first employed
at the City Hotel, from which place he
went to work at the North. John p.
Merrill, proprietor of that house, told the
court that upon one occasion one of the
girls employed there, went to the night
clerk and obtained the KEY to the fruit
closet in company with some others and
after using the key to the fruit closet
sent ii back to the Office by Libby. The
next morning the fruit closet key was not
to be found upon the ring with the 9TH
ers which Libby had returned. Investiga-
ton revealed the fact that the closet had
been visited during the night and a large
amount of fruit stolen. Libby was accus-
ed of the theft and the following day left
the place. The other two bell boys testi-
fled that Libby told them that he had
the key and Mr.. Merrill testified to hav-
ing one of them select key like the one
Libby exhibited, from a string of about
40. The key selected was a duplicate of
tho key which disappeared
Mn. Merrill told of missing money from
the cigar case at various times and also
from the postage stamp box, which was
also kept in the cigar case. George Pick
ering, who has worked at. the North,
nights, testified that at one time he saw
Libby put his hand into the case, close
see what was taken. He also told how
Libby had, in his presence, broken into
the case and taken cigars by removing a
rod which allowed him to spring the doors
to the case so as to admit his hand. Pick
ering admitted that he had received and
smoked some of the cigars himself and
that while Libby was doing the thieving
ceal the act from the night clerk, who
was asleep in the room, provided he
should wake.
The case has not yet been settled by the
court.

Governor Hill has received letter
from DR.. C. F. Taylor of Philadelphia,
who expresses his ideas as to the con-
templated change in the time for hold
ing the Presidential Inauguration cere-
monies, which question is to be con-
sidered at a meeting of Governors to
be held in Washington, April 1.
''Stage-coach days have passed and
the age of steam and electricity has
come" says the doctor, and then he
goes on TO argue in favor of changing
the election of President to early in
October or some time in May would be
better"
1T seems to me- he concludes. that
an ideal arrangement would be some
thing like this: Presidential and Con-
gressional elections. the first Tuesday
in May Presidential inaugurations.
the first Tuesday in June. Date of an
nual assembly of Congress. the first or
second Monday in October. unless
specially postponed by any Congress
until the second Monday in January.
This avoids probable bad weather for
elections and Inaugural tons and does
away largely with other objections.
Possibly a better arrangement would
be. elections early in October and inau-
guration and sitting OF new Congress
early in November
DR.. Taylor thinks too much time
elapses between the election and the
Inauguration and hence advances the
above suggestions among others look
ing to a change in the custom.

Lend Agent Ring was at his office in
the Capitol, yesterday. On Tuesday he
was at Moosehead lake for the pur-
pose of inspecting the fish hatchery at
that place.
Five hundred thousand young trout
and 10000 young landlocked salmon
have just been Matched at the hatch
cry said Mr.. Ring to the Journal.
They have just come out of the egg
and the very thrifty. They will not be
planted until late in the fall. In the
meantime they will be fed at the hatch
cry and properly taken care of.
While at Moosehead." continued Mr..
Ring, Il made some inquiries concern
ing the condition of things in the woods
and I was pleased to learn that every
thing is very favorable fer the lumber
operators. The ice in the lake is be-
coming black and it is predicted that it
viii entirely disappear by the middle
of April, which will be remarkably
early. The stage between Greenville
and kineo made it's last trip, Tuesday.
The driving of logs has already be-

all records of the past. Large num-
bers of log-drivers are going into the
woods every day now. There is plenty
Of water and work is being rushed as
rapidly as possible. There is one to two
feet of snow in the woods at the pres
ent time.
1T was thought that much of the
timber in the brooks could not be got
ten out, owing to lack of water. Eut
the indications are that every stick will
be drove this season. Of course the
timber now in the yards will have to
remain over until next winter; this is
no new happening, however. Every
year there is more or less carried over
to another season.
''The prospect is very encouraging to
all classes of lumber operators"
