RUSSELL & WESTON COMPANY to-1s2 WATER ST., AUGUSTA
CHARGES INSTRUMENTATION.
Mayor Will Allow Officers White and
Chadwick Hearing, Toniqht.

From present indications, it would
seem that the situation which was
evolved by the action of the municipal
olncers. at the September meeting of
the city council, by which the police
force of the city of Augusta was re-
duced from eight members to six, in
Guiding the city marshal. by the pass
age of an order which went into effect.
Nov. 1, is quite likely to develop a
number OF features of a decidedly
strenuous nature. before the final solu
ton of the somewhat abstruse problem
is reached.
The order referred to required that
the city marshal should, on and after
Nov. !, employ. fiXe- men to do the po-
lice work of the city. instead of seven.
heretofore, and that he should arrange
the beats of the officers in accordance
herewith. Acting. therefore. under
the directions of the order, City Mar
shall Breen. on Tuesday afternoon, Oct.
81. notified Night Officers Edwin L..
White and Frank w. Chadwick. when
they reported for duty, that they were
retired from further service on the
force. and the change went into eff
feet on that date. at midnight.
The two officers, however. did not
look at the matter in that light They
claim that they were appointed at the
beginning of the municipal year. their
appointment being confirmed by the
board of aldermen, to serve through
the year, which does not expire until
April !, 1906. and they also claimed
that they cannot be removed without
cause before that date They, have
therefore. reported for duty. each night.
up to the present time.
1t was this fact which developed.
yesterday. an entirely new feature in
the case. when Mayor Hichborn served
Deputy Sheriff Fish of HaIloweII, the
following notice.
"Ofice of the Mayor. Augusta. Maine.
November Z, 1905.
Dear Sir:
| am informed that you do not ac-
Cept the action of the municipal Off

men daily employed, and that you

shals office, for duty
! regard this as an act of insubor-
dination which cannot be tolerated.
and sufficient to warrant your removal
from the force.
Upon this charge you are entitled to
be heard, and l appoint Thursday
evening. next, at s o'clock, at the may
or's office in City hall. as the time and
place for said hearing.
Respectfully yours.
CHAS. S. HICHBORN, Mayor"
OF course, what the outcome of the
hearing. this evening. will be. is mat
ter of conjecture. but it will doubtless
be an interesting one.

One of the horses that is employed in
hauling the heavily laden mail wagons
of the publishing houses did d ''shoot
the chutes" stunt on Winthrop street
hill, yesterday forenoon, that doubtless
the horse and its driver will have just
cause to remember for some time. The
trouble began when the outfit was just
over the crest of the hill. The wagon
was piled high with mail sacks, and
the horses started down the steep in
cline with an assurance born Of long
experience. But the road was more
slushy and slippery than usual. and
the beast began to slide. And he slid
and slld-and the last 20 yards of the
hill was covered like creased lightning.
The animal managed to recover him.

stated on good authority, yesterday.
that it was Mr.. Fields intention to
leave the employ of the company, and
to engage in some other business. and
that no change at the Augusta bag

MONDAY EVENING, AUG. 7, 1905.

THE EYES of the civilized world ere
now turned on the coming peace con-
ference at Portsmouth, n. H., and the
outcome of the meeting between the Rus
81 an and japanese envOysis awaited with
keen interest. Many express the opinion
that the representatives of the Gar and
Mikado will fail to reach an agreement
and that the conflict in the east will con-
tinue. Others, however, prefer to be-
lieve that peace will eventually follow
thelconference. The war between Rus
STA and Japan has beeu in progress near
ly year and half, during which time
many thousands of lives have been sac-
ri6ced on both sides, while the Russian
navy, one of the most powerful in the
world. has been practically destroyed.
One stronghold after another has fallen
into the hands Of the japanese until the
Mikado is virtually master of the situa-
ton. While success has crowned the
arms of the latter, the prosecution of the
war has proven a tremendous drain upon
the resources of Japan and thousands OF
her soldiers have been killed in the many
sanguinary conflicts. 1t is time peace
of some sort was being brought about by
the belligerents.

Girl Assaulted.

Freeland, Pa, Aug. IA shocking
outrage which has greatly excited the
village of Hsrleigh was committed there
yesterday. Daniel Gallagher and James
o. Donnell, of Audenried, while driving
to Freeland, were called upon by ayoung
woman to protect her friend. Stopping
their horse, they ran in the woods, 10
response to the screams OF a woman. A
man who had assaulted her fed upon
their approach, and, with the aid of a
revolver, gained the dense forest. The
point at which the assault was made is
scarcely 100 yards from the village
church. Two girls, aged Is years each
Miss Myrtle Bitttener and Miss
Irene Spitzner-daughters of respected
citizens, were walking toward Eberyale,
when a well-dressed man approached
and caught Miss Bittener in his arms.
He hourished a revolver at Miss Spitz-
ner, who attempted to assist her COM
panion. There was no response to the
screams of the girls until the team
driven by Gallagher and O'Donnell APP
peared. The fend had torn the cloth
ing of the young woman to shreds in
accomplishing his purpose. A crowd
of armed citizens started in pursuit, but
the forest is dense and extends across
the mountain, and he was not found by
niOhtfall

ginning with today, heads the United

Chirine,s Lined With Gold.

The chimneys of the United States
mint at Philadelphia are being scraped
for gold and silver dust. With the work
still unfinished, several hundred ounces
of gold and silver have been sified from
the sweepings of the chimneys and other
hooks and crannies of the big building
at Sixteenth and Spring Garden streets.
The metal has not yet been melted and
weighed, so it is impossible TO compute
its exact value. Last year the value OF
the dust from the chimneys was $2l 24O,
an amount which will be exceeded this
gear, the authorities expect. The sweep
ings from the floor of the mint during
the year netted more than $50, 600.
Thousands Of dollars were recovered by
burning the clothes of the workmen and
workwomen and separating the precious
dust from the ashes.
