FISH AND FISHERMEN.

Fish Commissioner Carleton expects the
coming spring fishing season will be good
one.
Founders are very plentiful, and good
catches are made from the wharves and the
lower bridge. They retail at Is cents per
dozen.
F. V. Cottrell has made a number of lob
ster pots for his own use off Shore Acres and
for George A. Gilchrest, who has cottage
at Kelley's Cove.
The Argus reports the lobster business in
Portland and vicinity as very dull and a
drop in prices from about 80 to 8 cents a
pound. The cause is attributed to the open
ing of the season in the Provinces and the
shipment Of large numbers of the Holsters
to Boston.
Again is Capt. Sol Jacobs the skipper to
land the first mackerel catch Of the year,
he landing thirty barrels at Fortress Mon
roe Friday for shipment to New York city.
Capt. Jacobs wired that he had been among
mackerel for week, but the weather had
been rough and the fish wild. He has an
auxiliary fishing vessel under charter, but
will build one for next season.

E. H. BRADsTREET POST, LIBERTY.

The Orator for Memorial Day. A Souvenir
of E. H. Bfadstreet. Resolutions on the
Death of Commander Sumner Poland.
To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL.
Some one has blundered! An item in. The
Journal of last week copied from the Water
vile Mail stated that Frank w. Gowen of
Waterville had been invited by the Grand
Army Posts of Liberty and Montville to
deliver the address on Memorial day. This
is an error. There is but one Post here
| E. II. Bradstreet of Liberty. But as many
good comrades of the order live in Mont
! vile, for their accommodation the Memorial
services were held at the Grange Hall,
Center Montville, last year. This year the
| services will be held at the church in this
village, which is the usual custom. During
, the life of the Post services have been held
once at Searsmont and once at Centre Mont
vile; and services have been held every
year with one exception. By what authority
the name of Mr.. Gowen was announced in
the Waterville Mail we are unable to learn.
The adjutant of this Post has been instruct
ed by the members of the Post for the past
twelve years to secure a speaker for Me-
mortal day. This year the speaker will be
John Collins Emmons of Kennebunk. At
our last meeting comrade from Montvilie
said that he was in receipt of a letter from
Mr.. Gowen offering his services, but we
| had already procured a speaker. 1t is
proper to state that we know Mr.. Gowen
very we'll He was native of Montville
and when a boy lived in this village. He is
the son of gallant soldier and we would
have been glad to have availed ourselves of
his services had we known in time that we
could have secured them. We will keep
him in mind and probably extend him an
invitation next year.
Hon. l.. c. Morse, who is a member OF
committee appointed by the Governor to

committee-visited Andersonville last May

monument and was there on Memorial day.
While there he sought out the grave OF E.
| H. Bradstreet, who starved to death in An
dersonville prison and for whom this Post
was named, decorated it with two flags and
had it photographed A picture of that
grave now adorns our Post room. 1t is a
souvenir that every member of the Post
was pleased to receive and vote of thanks
was rendered Senator Mcrse for the same
A set of resolutions have been drawn up by
committee relative to the death of our
late commander, Sumner Poland, which are
now in the hands of printer in Portland,
to be embossed and other ways embellished,
framed and presented to the family of Com
mander Poland at Memorial service to be
held by the Post for that purpose. The
date is not yet determined upon.

SOLDIERS UNDER ARREST.
Charged With Stealing and Selling
Brass Shells from Guns.

Leavenworth- Kan, Jan. 20-Quarter-
master Sergeant Fred Felix and Pri-
vate Harry Bill, of the Twenty eighth
artillery, were arrested last night on
the charge of stealing and selling gov
eminent property. They are said to
have stolen shells from mountain guns
that were valued at 81 each and sold
them to a junk dealer for cents each
While Detective John belong, of the
Missouri Pacific, and the Leavenworth
police were searching for some stolen
through a freight car which was being
and discovered several barrels filled
with brass shells which were stolen
from Fort Leavenworth some time ago.
The military authorities were at once
notified and an officer came down and
took charge of the metal and took
Mr.. Phillips to the post. Besides the
barrels found in the car quite a lot of
brass was found in Phillips store.
The junk consisted of brass shells
three inches in diameter which are
used by the mountain battery. After
a. shell has been fired it is saved until
a shipment can be sent to the arsenal
for reloading. They weigh nearly two
pounds apiece AS they are plainly
marked with the government stamp,
Mr.. Phillips is likely to get into serious
trouble over the affair. Receiving
stolen government property is consid-
cred almost as much a crime as steal
ing it. The junk dealer went out to
the fort without being arrested on a.
United States warrant.
