Much interest centered about Il
swarm of bees that blew over the trees
from no-one -knows-where, Monday
morning, and settled about big tree
on the common. Aaron Peacock, who
is somewhat to the good on bee cul-
ture, drove along and spied that swarm,
which was thick enough to be mis-
taken for smoke at short distance. Mr..
Peacock allowed that he would win out
the honey making troupe. and taking
barrel from his wagon. he climbed up
the tree and began to inveigle the bees
into the barrel. Several times. the
bees nearly became ensnared, but af
ter a time they f1oated lazily away and

evening, Rev. .ir. Clarke. the pastor

TO ABOLISH COURT.
Petition Asks That Randolph Trial Jus.
tics Court 30 Done Away With.

A petition that is receiving many sigma
lures has been circulated in Randolph and
in this city. the past few days, and will
probably be presented to the Governor
and Council. today. The petition prays
for the adjustment of the trial justice
court that has flourished in Randolph.
The present incumbent of the office, l..
W. Goodspeed. has been reappointed by
Gov. Cobb. and his appointment is due to
be approved. today. 1t is alleged that all
legal business now transacted in the Ran
dolph court could easily be disposed of in
the municipal court in this city and at il
much less expense than the county now
stands on this courts account.
According to the report of the coun-
ty treasurer for 1904, the cost of
maintaining this court during the year
was greater than any other city or
town in Kennebec county. barring Wa
terviile. 1t appears that the citizens of
Randolph have long felt that the court
was not an absolute necessity, and that
its business could be handled fully as
well in Gardiner. In the court in this
city the presiding judge, James M.
Larrabee, is paid a stipulated salary
of $500 per year by the city, and his
fees from the county for the perform
ance of court business are hardly worth
mentioning.
BY transferring the business of the
trial justice court in Randolph. to the
municipal court in this city, the coun-
ty would effect saving of several
hundred dollars per year.
1t is said that the petition is signed
by all of the selectmen of Randolph
and by a majority of the merchants
and professional men of that town.
Mayor Charles A. Knight of this city,
told the Journal man, last evening, that
he had signed the petition to the Gov
ernor, as he believed that it was for
the interest of the city and the county.
| as well as of Randolph. 1t is reported
that Mr.. Goodspeed has indicated that
he would resign his office. If such ac-
ton be desired by the citizens of the
town.

OWNERS WERE WARNED.
Marshal Andrews Evidently Expects
Things Doing in Indictment Line.

City Marshal Andrews, who, since he
has entered the Office at the head of the
police department in this city. has been
an untiring opponent of the liquor deal
ers, consummated a deal. yesterday, that
will set some of the higher up men
thinking. Marshal Andrews served no
tce on the owners of all buildings where
in liquor is alleged to be kept for Illegal
sales that he would enforce the statute
which provides for the prosecution of
building owners who lease their premises
for the transaction of an illegal business
Marshal Andrews served these notices,
yesterday afternoon, and he told the Jour
nal that he had covered the local field
pretty thoroughly.
The situation now stands: The owners
have been warned that the State statute
will be enforced. which means. it would
appear, that at the next term of the
grand jury Marshal Andrews will ask for
the indictment of owners IN whose build
ings it is suspected or proved that liquor
is sold or kept for sale.

Now Plan Proposed by Prof. Powers
Probably DO Accepted.

The plan for adding to the studies
of the commercial course, now in
vogue at the Gardiner High school, as
outlined by Mayer Knight at the meet
ing of the city council, Monday even
ing, will probably be accepted by the
aldermen and councilmen. 1t is pro-
posed that the commercial course,
which is enc Of the most popular in
the High school curriculum. be altered
considerably 1t is proposed that GER
tain branches. mathmatics. etc, be re-
vised, and the hours of study shorten
ed to admit of the admission to the
course Of department of stenograhpv
and typewritinE. Prof. Powers is very
enthusiastic in his belief that this in

1t is estimated that but $500 will be

charged with guiding without license.
Commissioner Carleton took the stand
and testified that the respondent was not
granted a license for the year 1905. He
also read some correspondence from Hor-
ton in regard to the license and several
letters, more or less breezy, in which the
writer expressed his views of the com
mission in uncomplimentary language. In
some of these communications he said
that he was going to guide whether he

went out, June H. with party of two
men and three women. and 1t was con-
tended by the prosecution that Horton
was then employed by the party as a
guide.
The defendant, on the other hand,
claimed that he was not acting in the ca
pacity of guide but was employed as a
servant only; that 1t was understood by
the party that he was not to go as guide
and could not do so, as he was not regis
tered. He admitted that he had said he
proposed to test the law at some time.
