Passenger Business Still Heavy.

The passenger business on the Maine
Central has probably never been SO
heavy as at present The rush west at
the close of the summer resort sea-
son was something fierce" but is
now subsiding. The trains are all well
loaded, but not crowded as they were
a week or two ago. But the rush Of
sportsmen to the woods is now on and
almost equals the rush west that is
subsiding. The trains going east are
carrying large numbers of those bound
for the woods, especially during the
past few days. The night trains going
east, Monday. night, were heavily
loaded with those who wished to be on
the ground when the law went off
which il did at midnight, last night.
Pullman No. s. which crosses Pull
man No. II at this station was run in
two sections, Monday night. while Pull
man No. 127, commonly called the sec
Ond Pullman, was about two hours late,
arriving here about o'clock instead of
$40 as scheduled. This was caused by
heavy traffic to the west. especially on
the Boston & Maine.
Judging from what has already been
seen here the rush of hunters to the
State will be greater than ever, this
year, and judging from the reports that
are drifting down from the woods there
will be game enough for them all.

An EXCITING Incident.

Josenh Laundry came over from Wins
low, Yesterday morning, to do some trad
ing and before he had finished he hsd
succeeded in creating considerable of a
stir on the street He called at several
places to make purchases and got into
dispute. so It's said. with James King
who drives one of the hardware delivery
teams. He attempted to follow and eaten
him with his own team. apparently more
bent on overtaking the team he was after
than on watching the way he was going
in the crowded street, SO he brought uf
in a fine tangle of teams and an electric
car. This frightened his horse and the
animal became unmanageable, throwing
Mr.. Laundry out and dragging him some
distance.
This happened in front of the Blan-
chard candy store and the horse took to
the sidewalk in front Of the Ticomo
Bank, OverturninS the wagon. Deputy
Marshal Woodbury. had sighted trouble
and was on hand just at the right mo-
ment to seize the horse by the head and
steer him out into the street. thus doubt
less preventing him from going into the
bank by the way of the big window. At
ter the animal had been secured Deputy
Woodbury. took charge of his owner and
locked him up on the charge of drunken
ness. Mr. ~Laundry's wagon was pretty
well smashed and the axle of Il milk
wagon broken in the mixup. Those who
saw the incident considered ii very fort
innate that no more serious damage re-

NAVY NEEDS MEN.
Department Having Difficulty is Max
ing Enough EnIistments.

Washington, Sept. 30.-The question
of securing enlisted men for the navy
is becoming serious one No one sub
ject is receiving SO much attention at
the navy department as this one. Mod
ern warships apparently possess no
charms for the old salts.
Various reasons are assigned why the
men who have served on board do not
re-eniist. They can secure more re
munerative employment ashore where
the work is not SO hard and where there
is not the restriction of liberty as
aboard. On the modern warshp there
is far more work to be performed than
on the old sailing vessels, making the
life of sailor anything but a pleasant
one.
The question of securing sufficient
number of officers to meet the growing
needs of the navy is also giving the de-
partment something to think about.
Sec Moody will doubtless recommend
| that the number of cadets be increased.
What is most needed is the junior Off
Ger. So great is the demand for the
younger officers at sea that the great
| majority are obliged to serve tours on
| board ship far beyond what they
should. AS an illustration of the effect
| of this, one officer has rendered his res
ignation. He became discouraged and
| saw no other way to obtain a rest on
| shore. He was given a three months
leave. with the hope that he would b.
in different frame of mind and With
draw his resignation.
| AS new ships are being added to the
l navy a nd many Of the older ones which
have been tied up at locks put into
commission, the embarrassment result
ing from a scarcity Of officers increases
Sec. Moody will doubtless make some
strong recommendations with regard Il
the needs of the personnel of the navy
in his forthcoming report.
