For the last few pleasant evenings,
about the electric lights have been seen
a very peculiar sight. The air seems to
be filled with small millers. On investi-
CATION, it is found that this is the miller
that causes so very much trouble for the
apple and elm trees of the city, and this
year they seem to be even thicker than
usual. In some of the places where they
have done such serious work in the past,
the millers can be seen rising from the
ground in almost clouds and then fly off.
Some of those who have trees that they
care for have taken pains to check the
work of the millers and the larvae. Bands
of paper have been placed about the
trees and then covered with a thick prep
aration that comes for this purpose.
These are found to check the larvae and
millers from going farther up the trees
and already in some cases SO many have
been caught that another paper is neceS-
sary. Unless some action is at once
taken, from the present outlook, the dam
age they will do will be even more than
usual.

The sale of tickets has been large and
there are but II few of the reserved seats
left. The drill will be a novelty to nearly
all in this city. 1t will take up all the
company movements, movements by pia-
toonS and also in extended order. The
latter is that of a company of men who
are to attack the enemy. Those WHO
are up in military movements and have
seen the men while they have been hard
at work pronounce this as the prettieSt
work ever done. After the drill, which
will probably take about an hour and a
half. a ball will be given. Capt. Thomp-
son has been promised the attendance of
a large number of officers from the State,
including both officers from the COVER
nor's staff, Col. NewcOmb and staff and
field and also many of the line officers
of the regiments. The proceeds are to
be used by the company for many of the
little things that are essential for the
use of the company and also for use at
muster.

without any warming whatever. He
passed away before any member of
the family reached him, and apparent
" there was no suffering or struggle.
Mr. Bates was born in West Water
vile. on farm in the section known
as Oakland Heights, Dec. Is, 1880, and
lived there until manhood. He en-
tered the ministry when young, being
a preacher in the Free Baptist faith.
He held pastorates in Fairfield, Pish-
ons Ferry and Augusta, being several
years in each place, and about 80 years
ago moved to this village, where he
has since lived in the house where he
died. He had not been settled over

BOTH CLAIM VICTORY.
Clarke and Jones Both Claim Arkansas
United States Senatofship.

Little Rock, Ark, March 30.-Indica-
tions reflected by additional returns
from a majority of the counties, point
to a victory for ex-Gov. James p
Clarke for United States senator, over
Senator James Z. Jones' though his
majority on a joint ballot will probably
not exceed II. Complete returns are
not yet in and in several of the large
counties the vote is so close that the
official count is awaited.
Senator Jones will not concede
Clarke's success. At Clarke's head
quarters 1t is declared that the contest
is settled in Clarke's favor, the only
question being as to the size of his ma
jority. There are about 10 counties
from which news has not been received,
owing to the absence of wire connec-
ton.
At Senator Jones headquarters, it is
said he is satisfied with the reports re
celVed, today. Instead of conceding his
defeat, as has been widely circulated,
he feels that the situation has materi-
ally improved. Representatives of Mr..
Jones announce that they have received
definite information from 43 counties. 27
of which have been carried by him. OF
the remaining counties in the state they
expect Senator Jones to carry at least
20. thus insuring him between IS and
80 on joint ballot e. being necessary
for a choice.
So far as definitely reported, Gov.
Davis has carried two thirds of the
counties against c. w. Rector for the
gubernatorial nomination.

The Gardiner postoffiCe takes another
step forward, tomorrow morning and at
the present rate that it is progressing, it
will not be long before ii will be well up
in the ranks of the postofiices of this
State Two additional carriers will be
added to the city force, making five in
all. One of these will cover Randolph
and that postoffice will be abandoned
and taken into the Gardiner office. This
increases the expenses of the office in this
place. but it is thought that the people
will be better satisfied with the arrange
ment when they become familiar with it
and the carrier has his route learned. An
additional carrier will be added to the
force for the office on this side of the
river His route will take in an addi-
tional part of FarmingdaIe and give all
the city two full deliveries during The
day. 1t will also give Water street six
deliveries instead of three as at present
This will also enable those placing letters
in the boxes about the city to have them
get off on the forenoon train as all the
carriers must return to the office in time
for this. Postmaster Libby is doing all
that he can to have the office Of this city
one of the best and surely the public can
not help approaching the fact.

Somerset S. J. Court.

The well-known tendency of Somer-
set county juries to render heavy YER
diets against corpora tons in personal
injury cases was again illustrated by
the case of Walter CoWett VS.. the
American Wooden Co, in which YER

plaintiff in the sum of S1034SS. This

when his left hand was caught and
drawn between the cylinder and the
stripper, and severely mangled by the
teeth. Negligence as imputed to the
company on the ground that the ma
chine was defective in having a pro-
lection which caught the plaintiffs
hand in the manner in which it was

PENDANTS claimed that the machine was
a perfectly safe one, and introduced the
testimony of the boss of the room and
the second hand to prove that Cowett

dangerous character of the machine,
and knew of it, his own carelessness
contributing to the injury. The jury
was taken to the mill and give an OPP
portunity to make an inspection of the
machine. The case was given to them
at 1880 Saturday morning, and a YER

The rain Of Saturday was neither
needed or welcome, but it came and
the way it came down was caution.
Everything was washed and many
places in the roads that had stood it
before showed the result hard. There
were a few landslides along the line of
the Maine Central Railroad between
this city and Hallowell that made the
using of only one of the tracks possible
and caused some delay to trains. The
traders along Water street wore rather
a forlorn look as they expected a large
Easter trade.

A good story on one Of the leading or
CARNATIONS of ladies' of this city has been
leaking out for the last few days and
while all the facts cannot be obtained
some of them are too good to keep. The
organization was holding very mpor-
tant meeting, not long ago. and business
was being rushed through with all the
dignity possible. The meeting broke up
in short order for a short time. Creep
ing out from one of the recesses of the
hall. small mouse was observed and it
was not long before every pair of eyes
were upon him. He was unconscious of
this and began an investigation of the
room. Every member from the chief
down to the last candidate was ready
for some action. Just what happened
cannot be told but there WAS some lively
movements among them to keep clear
from the terrible creature. The chairs
and settees were jumped upon, skirts
were lifted and screams filled the air.
There were some who could not jump so
frightened were they. Some were even
said. to have jumped clear over some of
the furniture to keep away from the
mouse. After a half an hour of excite
ment the little fellow, which now looked
the size of a wild cat. crawled away into
his hole. ignorant Of the terrible conster-
nation he had caused the members of
the lodge. 1t is now said that many
traps have been purchased to catch the
unwelcome visitor and it is a sure thing
that before another meeting is held,
there will be a committee of well armed
warriors search the place for any signs
of intruders and woe to him if he is
found.
