Special Correspoodencel

HAYNES, Oct 3O.-The early freeze.up interfered with the worl, on the Fort Seward water works and the McInnes & Harrington company has been compelled to close down for the season with the work almost completed-but not quite. What re- mains to be done is some concrete work on the dam which will be put in the first thing in the spring. The pipe line is, however, installed, and the fort has plenty of water Com pleted, as 1t will be early next sea. son, Fort Seward will have a tre. mendous head of cold mountain water, sufficient for all purposes.
 The McInnes, Harrington Co.,, left with all their men on the last Dol phin. This concern is a popular one and the fact that they bought all their supplies, and in fact everything that could be furnished in Haines has made this season one of the best Haines ever saw. They as well as Mir. Henning gave preference to Haines men when employing and and buying and trading and thus ex- emplified the proper spirit that goes to build up new commonwealth.

SALE OF wHIsKEY.
Pharmaceutical Association May Take
 Action at Their Meeting.

The members of the Connecticut Pharmaceutical association who will assemble here on Tuesday and We'd nesday, June and 10. the dates hay ing been changed from the 18th and 17th as a circus Is here on the 17th, will in all probability advocate the passing of a statute which will have very important effect on the sale Of whiskeyg The measure which the delegates will in all probability rati- fy and seek to have passed at the next session of the legislature will prohibit the sale of whiskey in any drug store in the state.
 So sweeping will the act which some of the druggists are advocating be that not even on prescription will a person be able to purchase whiskey in a retail drug store. It Is under stood that the executive committee Of the association is favorable to the measure and at a recent meeting ot the committee all present were In ia vor of it.
 It Is not because the retail drug. klsts are pfOhlDitlon entnuslasts tnai they are fayOring such an enactment but to protect themselves against a high license. It Is said that unless they decide to dispense entirely with the sale of whiskey they will be obliged to pay a license almost equa to that paid at the present by a sa- loonkeeper The owner of a drug store has 10 pay only $50 for a II. cense which allows them to sell whiskey while the owner Of a saloon pays many times as much. The drug gists themselves realize that the priv. ilege has been abused and that many drug stores have done a hack room business on whiskey that is amazing ly large. It Is for this reason they are planning to exclude whiskey from the drug stores.

INNOCENT MAN FREE.
Rhode Island Senate Approves Gov ernor's Act in Pardoning Brennan.

Providence, R. l.. May 6.-After serving nine years of fifteen year sentence for complicity in the Ports. mouth car barn robbery, Joseph Brennan of Brooklyn walked out of the state prison at Cranston yester- day a free man. Accompanied by a friend, Bernard Reilly of Albany, he boarded a train for New York.
 The gallery and floor of the sen ate were crowded when Senator Me Kenna. chairman of the pardon com mittee. called up the Brennan case. He told how the suspicion that Bren- nan was Milwaukee Red" had been removed Governor Higgins. he said, took every precaution to see that per sons working for the prisoner did not deceive him.
 Governor Higgins resented charges which have been made that Brennan was to resume pocket-pleking. He said he had not the slightest doubt that Brennan was not at Portsmouth on the night of the robbery. He he'd been in prison nine years, the gov ernor said. and had not a single black mark against him.
 After further discussion. during which the granting of the pardon was contested by Lieutenant-G Gov ernor Watrous, the senate confirmed the action of Governor Higgins in granting the pardon by a vote of I9 to $. No time was lost in preparing the pardon papers.
