A Large Seizure Made Saturday Night
The Warrants for March.

Marshal Andrews Saturday night
made one of the largest seizures that
has taken place in this city for many
weeks. The goods consisted of 4S pints
OF intoxicating liquors, which arrived
on train No. II, due here at lao p. NJ
The bottles came in two boxes, both of
which We're labelled Capt. Cakes. Car
diner, Maine" The bottles in one box
held rum, the other contained whiskey
Although there was considerable evil
dence that liquor was plenty Saturday
night, no disturbance, sufficiently great
to warrant making an arrest, in the
city took place. This desirable state of
affairs in Gardiner was enjoyed some
what at the expense of Randolph, for
nearly all the drunks hiked across the
bridge to avoid coming in c tact with
the police who We're looking for them
here.
The record for March shows war
rants taken out as follows: Search
and seizure 2, search for liquor 8, libel
and monition ., vagrancy ., intoxica-
ton 10.
