The Maine State prison at Thomas
ton is in a very crowded condition
according to the letter addressed to
the Governor and Council which has
been received from the warden of the
prison, Bernes O. Norton. Warden
Norton's letter says:
IT would respectfully call your at
tention to the very crowded conditions
of the States prison, with the recon-
mendation that such steps that may
be possible shall be taken to remove
the insane at the earliest possible date.
'"rhere are 206slvailable cells in the
prison and at this writing we have
230 inmates, and it appears that more.
viii be coming all the time. There,
are 10 men sleeping in the hospital
and several more in the old school
building in the yard and your body
will readily see that this is not as it
should be nor is it conducive to good
discipline.
'Tn the insane department there are
"a insane convicts, all of whom have
been adjudged insane by courts. This
is the class for whom the new building
at Augusta was designated, and ]
trust that your honorable body Will
take such steps possible to hasten the
completion of the building so that we
may rid ourselves of the insane here,
and thus provide the accommodations
that are almost absolutely necessary
for the rest of the prisoners

Yesterday

owners of the Union League teams

clubs represented. W. j. Nickerson.

his club had decided not 10 accept the
offer of transferring the team to Rich

continue on at Wilmington.
The object of the meeting was 70
consider the transfer of the Paterson
franchise to Allentown. Hugh McKin-
non, of Allentown, assured the mag
mates of his ability to support the team
at Allentown and the transfer of the
franchise was at once ratified.
Only two games were played in the
Union League yesterday. Concerning ;he
game scheduled between Baltimore and
Elizabeth yesterday dispatch says:
Owing to the failure of the Baltimore
team TO appear. there was no game at
Elizabeth No umpire was present so
that a forfeit cannot be claimed. The
Bal, more players are said to have been
delayed en- route
Local Union Leaguers appear to be
at a loss as to what will be the next
move on the part of the Union League.
There appears to be no head nor tail"
to the local situation.
The players are still in the city wait
ing for something to turn up" thas
something" being in particular the
good old American dollar which tie
men claim has been a scarce article for
soma time.
Today the team is scheduled to play
a double header in Brooklyn. but as
transportation does not seem to be in
sight it is a guess as to whether the
'"ChicKens" will make the trap or not
The men all say they like Wilmington
and would prefer to play here rather
than any place in the circuit. They
declare also that they have to eat and
sleep as well as to play ball.

ing comrades; we knew and loved them while living, for their cour age and loyalty to duty. Great as they were in war. how much more were they sublimely great in peace. Who but they could have so patiently suffered the wrongs of reconstruction? Who but they could have endured and survived it's humiliations? Who but they could have built upon the ashes of the old this new South? Men only of exalted courage and sublime faith could have wrought so well. And they labored not for self but for pos terity.
 Comrades, l know that it is in feebleness, with fatigue and pain. you are keeping step to the drumbeat of time. And it is sometimes,
 Weary watching wave by wave,
 As the tide heaves us onward;
 We climb like coral, grave by grave,
 Yet beat a pathway sunward;
 We are.beaten back in many fray,
 Yet ever courage borrow,
 And where our vanguard sleeps today,
 Our rearguard will sleep tomorrow.
 Comrades you have one more battle to wage; one more enemy to grapple. In this last conflict there will be no deploying by companies, regiments or divisions. No, the engagements will be on the picket-line of time, on the very outpost of your life. Singly you must meet this last enemy. Will you be victors? Yes. if you have been as obedient to the Di- vine Leader as you were to the comm ands of Lee, Jackson, John- son and others. You can and will sound this note of triumph his shout of victory: "Oh Death, where is thy sting. Oh Grave, where is thy victory" In con- firmation of this hear the procla- nation of the incarnate God:

AIR-POIS0NIN6 FROM ALCOHOL.

The London Lancet" has re- gently published a number of very interesting letters from correspondents pointing out the injury which comes from Alco- hol in the air. It is found that the cellars of the London docks where large quantities of spirits are stored have a poison air from evaporated spirits. The mere passing through them causes a very stimulating effect, followed by depression and nau- sea, the same as if persons had drank. Visitors to the great wine cellars of Spain have con- plained of the quickening pulse, with a decided sense of exhilera- tion, followed by languor, head ache and narcotism.. In many of these cases the air is loaded with volatile ethers, and according to one authority an ounce of proof spirits, or half an ounce of abso- lute alcohol is present in five or six cubic feet of air. Persons who work in these cellars are said to be practically intoxicated, and at all events show marked signs of. alcoholism. This same evil has been noticed in some of the bonded warehouses of this country, and the Revenue De- partment has already taken measures to prevent it. Rams Horn.

 governor caused by the death,

 stitution provides that in the ab- sence of the regularly elected governor of the office is to be fill ed by the President of the Sem ate, and in the contingency that the President of the Senate as acting governor should be ab- sent from the State that the Speaker of the House should as- sume the duties of the office.
 It has been known for some time that Governor Pindall would attend the conference at Wash ington and that he would per haps be absent from the City and State several days. Speaker Hamiter's friends insisted that he should come to the city and assume the duties of the office in the absence of the Governor, some of them holding that it was his duty to do so; that it was a constitutional requirement that the executive office be filled at all times, as emergencies might arise requiring immediate action.
