A remarkable sight for Bangor was
witnessed Thursday. when thirty-four
liquor sellers appeared in the police
court and each took sentence Of slO0
and costs and sixty days in Jail OF
course they all entered an appeal and
gave bonds, so the outcome will be de
termined In the supreme Court, but Il Is
long since Bangor has heard u jail
sentence in a liquor ease, even At the
first hearing. II is thought by some
that the present "spssm" Of enforce
ment Is intended 70 make people dis
gusted with the law, but the fact Is not
always taken into account that large
proportion of the people are not 10 b
disguised BY that process.

New York's great underground rapid
transit railway is striking illustration
of the close figuring possible under
modern engineering methods. Although
it involved a number of new engineering
problems, the contract price on it was
surprisingly close to the estimate of
cost originally made by the engineers.
The opening Of the road for travel is
now expected to be three months later
than the date originally set, but this de-
lay is due wholly 10 strikes, and not TO
any difficulty with the work.

Thirty thousand automobiles, says an

half supply the demand. Who says this

Some of the papers are protesting
against that misuse of titles which pro-
duces such effects as Mrs. Admiral
Smith or Mrs. Colonel Jones'" 1t is
a sad fact that the only way an American
woman can geta title to which she has a
good claim is to marry foreign noble
man or get into office in a secret society.

FIND PLENTY OF GOLD.
Report from the New Camps in

I have seen it. Oh. not the SAB, or the

along the gulch for 200 yards until I
got tired. No pan showed less than
ten cents or any over fifty cents. This
was dry panning, mind you, and prob
ably lost 80 per cent of the gold IN
a half hour we saved, testing the
ground for 200 yards. about $500
I crossed from there to TruxilIa
a mile north, and found just as good
a showing. In fact the best pan of dirt
I saw was in Truxilla Canon, on the
first bench, about fifty feet above the
bottom of the gulch. They had barrel
of water there and I washed out a
pan that carried about seventy-five
cents.
Altogether I made over twelve miles
up one canon and down another and
there was gold a-plenty' over the
whole route. They ara the richest piac-
ers I ever saw.
I am informed thai twenty miles up
and down the river and eight miles
back has practically all been located.

THE KILLING OF
CAPTAIN TOWNSEND
New York Herald Gives Full Account
of the Murder of the Popular
Sea Captain,

The following Is a portion of an ar
ticle taken form the New York Her
aid about the shooting of Capt. Town
send in Brooklyn last week:
There was a dispute over So which
the stewart claimed was due him by
the captain.
about noon the stewart visited the
vessel and chatted with Nicholas Far
enSon, a cigar dealer and lifelong
friend of Capt. Townsend. After talk
ing about twenty minutes, Burnett
said he was going down to the cap
tains cabin to see if he intended pay
ing the So due him. Burnett, Faren-
son says, was gone about twenty min
utes, when he reappeared on deck, and
after saying good afternoon left the
ship. &C. f. Pembroke, the schooner's
mate soon after had occasion to go
to the cabin. He had scarcely enter
ed the doorway when he rushed on
deck and summoned the crew. The
captain was found dead with his mead
resting on the floor and his teet up
four steps on the stairs, showing thal
he had been shot as he was about as
cending to the deck. No attempt at
robbery was made, as $63 i'll bllls ana
a $3.50 gold watch were found IN Capt
Towusends pocket. Frank Burnell,
who murdered Capt. Townsend was
caught on the Bowery as be was com
ing out OF cigar store. DetectlVeS
slipped handouts on him before he
knew he was caught. AT police head
quarters in BROOKLYN he made thls
statement: Il admit that killed
Cant Townsend and | am glad he Is
dead and that l didn't make botch
of it. He was i mean commander
and stood him until endurance gave
way"
Capt. Mac" Townsend, as he was
famiIiarly called by his lriend8' was
one of the quictest and most peace
able men we ever knew, and from Inc
above it looks like the murder was
deliberate aud cold blooded aflair'
The deceased WAS brother OF Capt
John c. Townsend, who was lost WIN
his vessel, the schooner J. c. Wood
huh. on the coast several years since
They we're both popular COMMANDER
and had many friends along the coast
