NEW CARS ARE IN SERVICE.
Maine Central Has Six With Vestibules
and All latest Wrinkles.

The fourth of the six new passenger
coaches which the Maine Central has had
built at the Laconia car works has ar
rived and they are now In daily service.
There are seats for "a passengers and
the details of lighting, both by means of
the windows and the artificial lights, are
arranged to give the greatest efficiency.
The car shades do not extend above the
regular window panes, which leaves the
top lights of opaque glass unshaded. CIV
ing a fine effect Of lighting when seen
light in the car even when the shades
are drawn. The interior finish of the
car is mahogany and gun metal. severely
plain and without the ld-fashioned, OBJ
jectionable mirrors which are now so out
of date.
- The artificial lighting is arranged with
a equalization of the Pintsch gas fixture
fitted with mantle. which materially
increases the amount of light and makes
it possible to read with ease when the
car is lighted up at night. The uphol-
stery is the best quality of green plush
and the seats have high backs and the
right angle to sit in comfortably
The car is very strongly constructed
with an all-steel under frame and at the
ness which makes it most attractive from
the outside. That the travelling public
will welcome this addition to the rolling
stock of the Maine Central goes without
saying.

In a Little Tea Pot.

Washington. July 15.-The personal
strife among the officers of the United
States Marine Corps today reached a eli
max when the navy department as the
result of court of inquiry sent letters
of censure to nearly all the officers con-
cerned. No further judicial proceedings
are anticipated. The censured officers
are Maj. Gen. George F. Elliott, COM
mandant of the corps: Col. Charles H.
Tauchheimer. adjutant and Inspector Col.
Frank l.. Denny, the quGrtermaster at
Washington; Col. Charles A. Doyne, COM

at Washington; Lieut.. Col. Henry C.
Haynes. assistant adjutant and inspector
at Washington; and Majors Louis J. Ma
gill and David D. Porter. assistant adju-
tants and inspectors at Philadelphia and
Washington, respectively.
The court held that Gen. Elliott had
been profane. irritable and irrascible at
times. INDUCING moderately in intoxicat
ing liquor, but never Intoxicated on duty
and sometimes failed to treat subordi-
mates with courtesy. but was usually no.
lite. generous. truthful and a "p,ain
blunt soldier. open and frank" General
Elliott was paid tribute by the court
for telling the whole truth. even to his
whole detriment If he thought the facts
had the least bearing on the question"
Col. Tauchheimer. according to the
court. had violated the spirit but not the
letter of the regulations requiring subor-
dination and loyalty. had been unmilita a.
~, disrespectful and insubordinate. had
