of that county. The House insisted upon
final adjourn ment, subject to the call for an
extra session by the Governor and refused q
committee of conference. The Senate, realiz.
ing the futility of securing any amicable ar.
rangement, finally receded, and, upon motion
of Senator Burleigh Of Aroostook, adjourned
without day.
THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Governor Haines was notified when both
branches were ready and sent in his final mes
sage. transmitting list of the acts and re-
solves passed during the present session and
approved by him. These number 462 acts ana
1863 resolves. He thanked the members for
their notable diligence in attending to the
States business, declaring:
"Neither can refrain from giving you my
most sincere thanks as a citizen of the State
for the noble manner during the last days of
the session when exhausted from over work
you have stood at your post in behalf ,of mo-
rallty and the enforcement of law
The Governor openly expressed his feelings
concerning the Knox county case stating his
belief that the failure of the trial was mis-.
gotten up to prevent his being tried"
In conclusion the message plainly advertises
the intentions of the Governor concerning the
enforcems mt of the prohibitory law:
III complaints continue to come to me of
the notification of law, particularly the fail
ure OF the sheriff Of Knox county, the
sheriff or county attorney of any other coun-
ty of the State, may be compelled to call you
together again for the purpose of giving you
chance to try such officers for failure to
perform the duties of their office as required
by our statutes"

CROSbY'S ANNALS.

We print this week the first and second
chapters of the "Annals of Belfast for Half a
Century QSO5-1s54) by Hon. William G.
Crosby, as originally published in The Repub-
lican Journal in 1874-5 and now re-published
by general request. They are charming
chronicles of the first half of the last century
IN Belfast and merit preservation in more en-
during form than in the columns of a news
paper. Many will now read them for the first
time, while our older citizens will recall the
genial author, who during his active life was
prominent. socially and professionally and in
all the affairs of our city, ever ready with an
address, lecture. poem or hymn. when
called upon.
William G Crosby was the son of Hon. William
Crosby and was born in Belfast, Sept. 10, 1905
and graduated from Bowdoin College in the
class of 1928 After com mpleting his legal stud
les he practiced in Boston from 1926 to Octo-
ber, 1923, and in the latter year became estab-
lished in his native town. He was the first
secretary of the Board of Education, holding
that position from 1876 to lo49, and was Gov
ernor of Maine in 1858 and 1854 From 1855 to
1859 he resided in Boston, where he was en-
gagged in literary pursuits and edited that well
known eclectic magazine, Littlell's Living Age
He returned to Belfast in 1859 and continued
in extensive practice until his retire ment, ,Jan.1 l.
1870. The degree of Doctor of Laws was con-
ferred on Gov. Crosby by his Alma Mater in
1870. He died March 2l, 1881, at his home in
this city
The home of Governor Crosby was in q
house built in 1903 by John Milliken, who sold
1t before it was completed to Judge William
Crosby, father of William G. The grounds
extend from the government property in front
to Cedar street in the rear and from Main to
Franklin street. Governor Crosby's law Office
was in a ore story building, long since re-
moved, on Franklin street. Some years after
Governor Crosby's death the heirs sold the
estate to the Belfast Hotel Co, who built the
Crosby Inn, which filled long-felt want and
was great benefit to the city Until it was un.
fortunately burned down under circumstances
that prevented its rebuilding OF further efforts
in that direction. The Crosby heirs were the
largest stockholders in the hoae and but for
their financial support and the untring efforts
of Col. Richard Chenery, it is doubtful if it
could have been built The old Crosby man
sion, which had been retained IS an annex to
the hotel, alone survived the fire; the Inn was
burned to the ground. When it was found
that the hotel was not to be rebuilt, Mrs.
Richard Chenery, daughter of Gov Crosby,
bought the estate from the hotel company,
had the old house moved to its original site,
and a new built of the same dimensions as
the one torn down when the house was moved
and the hotel erected. Since the estate passed
to her son, Mr.. Horace Chenery, there have been
many changes and additions, but the front of
the house remains substantially as originally
built. The location is fine and the house
and grounds constitute one of the show places
Of the city.
