ming, Jan. IS, will be the acceptance Of
the resignation of John E. Church as a
member of the local board of assessors,
and 1t is considered probable that an
election will be held to fill the vacancy
on the board thus caused. So far as has
been announced there are but two can

The municipal officers held a hearing
Friday evening in the aldermen's room
at City hall in the case of Joseph NORM
on the complaint Of relative who alleg-
ed that he was insane Two physicians
who had examined the man were called
and testified in effect that while they
considered that he was sick they did not
consider his mental condition serious
enough to warrant his committal to the
Augusta State hospital, and the decision
him. 1t is understood that the man will
be taken to the City farm where he can
have proper treatment.
1t has leaked out that one Of the off,
GERS of King Co., No. 4, U. r., *. Of
P, got into difficulties Thursday eve
ming which very nearly prevented his APP
pearance at the meeting of the company
that evening, and he lays the cause of
all his trouble to the fact that he has a
spring lock on the door of his ROOM The
young man. who lives some distance out
Of the city, took a bath before coming in
town, and placing his clothing on the
bed went to the bath room in his paia-
mas, leaving the door of his room ajar.
but while he was taking his bath a draft
of air closed the door of his room and he
was locked out. Conditions would not
have been so serious had his wife been
at home, but she had gone in town. and
for some little time he was in a quanda-
ry as to what to do. Finally after his
excitement had somewhat subsidized he
sneaked out of the bath room to the
quarters of a friend in another part of
the building, where he borrowed sufii-
cient clothing to make the trip to town,
and so was able to attend the meeting.
1t is said, however. that when he met
his wife on Water street while on his
way to Pythian hall she did not recog-
nfze him in his strange raiment and that
he had some little difficulty in estab-
fishing his identity.
