TEACHERS PROTEST,
Trouble in Public School Circles al
Bath,

The school board sat behind closed
doors last evening. the subject under
consideration being two petitions from
the teachers of the public schools. one
signed by o3 protesting against the
petty tyranny with which they charge
the Superintendent, and the other sign
cd by 20. endorsing Mr.. McLachlin.
Tho protest is the culimination Of
discomfort among the school teachers
which has been steadily Increasing
since Mr.. McLachlin took charge, and
is in the nature Of an appeal for relief
from the requirements and eXactions
which the teachers believe do not add
TO the efficiency of the schools and are
a constant annoyance to the teachers.
1t is said that practically all of the
teachers who have not signed either
nctition and even some of those who
signed that endorsing the superintend-
cnt are in perfect sympathy with the
protestaots against his rule but de-
tered from joining openly in the pro-
test bv the fear that if he should re-
main in control he might make theiI
situation entirely unbearable. Both
documents were referred to commit

AT BAlLEY'S ISLAND.
Serious Fire at Wharves-TotaI Loss
ASout $4,000.

There was Il serious blaze at Macker-
81 cove, Eaileys island. Tuesday, the
most serious i'll fact that has occurred
on any of the islands since the burn
ing of the Auburn colony some years
ago.
The fire started shortlyheforc o'clock.
in some buildings owned by d. Z. Sin
EFT situated on one of the two WharNeS
at Eailcy's island. which is adjacent TO
The wharf of the Harpswcll Steamboat
Co. and really connected with it by a
range of wooden buildings. There were
ON Sinnett'S wharf before the fire sew
cral buildings, including two fish
houses. Il wood house and sawmill. a
stable and several sheds. while just be-
mind the wharf was Il dwelling owned
by Bernstein Bros. of Portland. who
also had fish shed on the other wharf.
Nobody knows just how the fire start
Cd. since 10 one saw it until it was all
going. The most plausible theory is,
however. that wood thieves We're al
work in the shed where the dry wood
was piled and that they used matches
to aid them in moving about the shed
and in so doing accidentally set the
shed afire.

THE KENNEBECS.
A Wonderful Aggregation Of
Young Ball Players.
Star Men Who Came to the Front
Under Manager Burnham.
Their Subsequent Records on Fast
Teams Of the Big Leagues.

We present above a group picture of
the Kcnncbccs, the famous ball team
which manager Walter W. Burnhtin
brought to Augusta in the summer of
1895 to represent the cities of the Ken
ncbcc valley in the New England
League. 1t was mid-wiuter before tn"
idea of having this section of Main"
given representation in the New Eng
land League was even contemplated,
and naturally the best available players
of established reputation had already
heaI1i secured by.iother teams. More
over, II WAS found necessary to have a
salary limit of 5000 per month in order
to assure the financial success of the
undertaking. MIR. Burnham, who WA;
an old and experienced manager. and
one of the very best i'll the business
SAW at once that it would be necessary
for him to go out and make up team
largely composed of ambitious young
players who were new to tn" profess
sional ranks. The wonderful success
which has been achieved in the national
team since. by the members of tie
above group. show how unerrinG was

5000, with no insurance. F. T.. Sinnctt,
who occupies the buildings, has n loss
equally as large as among other things
his entire winters stock of cured fish
was destroyed. He had no insurance.
bernstein Bros. estimate their loss at
5000. with an insurance of 800. hey
are the only sufferers by the fire who
have any insurance.
1t is claimed that wood thieves have
been at work frequently on this prop
erty and Mr.. Sinnctt feels sure that
they were responsible" for the fire
through the Carclessncss or haste in
trying to get away from the scene Of
their depredations. 1t has even been
said that the sound of motor boafs
has been heard in the dead hours Of
teh night pudging around i'm the waters

except Il smiling Providence and the

not work very we'll under all circum-
stances of this kind.
There were two horses in the stable
attached to the wood shed belonging
to Everett L. Sinnett. who operated
pretty much the whole establishment
in one way or another. These were
burned to death before any one saw
the fire. The buildings also contained
a valuable motor boat owned by d. p.
Sinnett. who also had the motor and
gear cor it stored in the same building.
This property was all destroyed as
there was no way to reach and rescue
it after the people rallied to the res
cue.
a bucket brigade was organized rs
soon as he people were aroused and
they did what they could to prevent the
flames from spreading to the other
wharf and buildings on 1t.
They had a hard tussle and it was
not until noon when the last of the
danger was over.
The losses are pretty serious. D. P.

several teams in the big league are
closely watching his work, and it is
probable that another season will fiad

NJ. j. Kelley was another amateur
who c,.Dlc to the Kenncbccs from Otter

his Subsequent career with sincere
pride. At tho present time he is mana =

Prices Moved Upward in Opening
 Dealings--Closing Weak.
 New York, Dec. 1.--Prices moved up wards in the opening dealings in stocks to-day in fairly uniform manner, but that was the last of uniformity in the days market There were many strong
 spots and they were developed in rota-- ton, spreading their effect through the
 session of the stock exchange, but the general list did not became animated
 at any time and the days business was considerably contracted from the re- cent average Some of the most nota-
 ble features of the recent advances
 were laggard or inclined to sag on light E offerings.
 ! As against the sharp gains in special
 stocks, there were no well defined weak
 spots, but only dullness and heaviness. : The most notable advances were divid-
 ed between stocks of an extremely high
 grade class and minor Issues. The jun for sVanderbilts were conspicuous exam i pies of the class to-day. A distinctly detected absorption for investment of
 this group of stocks is of greater sem 1 timental effect on the market for se- curities than almost any other act that could be named in the operations of the
 market. For this reason a concerted
 advance in the group is a favorite de- AA &1 .Iy s,lr the rest of the market by, sympathy. The active trading at receding prices 1 in cotton helped railroads which have l a large traffic in that commodity, and
 Illinois Central had.the additional ad-
 vantage ofsa sale of $12,OO0.000 of its
 bonds. &S% si RS
 The rise in Amalgamated Copper was | based on rumors of an intended ir1-
 crease in the dividend on one of it's subsidiary companies. Railroad earn ings reported were generally favorable. The conclusion of the London settle
 ment occasioned favorable influence 1 from that source. The December set dement's here and the payment of a $20000,000 installment on southern Pa cific preferred stock induced a firmer
 tone both for call and time loans. But this was not an effective influence in
 the stock market. The reactionary ten-
 dency became fairly general, however, late in the day and the closing was weak and generally below last nights level of prices. % Bonds were easier. Total sales. par
