ing a four year closed time on bull
moose which was introduced last week
by Senator Peacock OF Washington
was defeated by vote of 10 to 8. The

The Bristol Division
The question Of the division Of the
town Of Bristol into two towns, Bris-
tol and South Bristol, occupied the at
tention of the House for nearly two
hours Tuesday morning. Forty min
utes Of this period was taken up by
the speech Of Rep. Nulligan of Noble
boro in opposition 10 the division. The
report Of the committee was unani-
nous for the division.
Before opening his speech, which
he read from q voluminous manu-
script, Rep. Mulligan offered an
amendment providing for a referen-
dun on the measure in the town of
Bristol. He then proceeded TO rehearSe
and discuss the argument presented
at the committee hearing, covering
many points He also read letters in
opposition TO the division. But his
long effort was without avail, for the
House was not with him. He was
supported by Representatives Smith
OF Hampden. Grecnleaf of Portland
and Perham Of Woodstock and op-
posed by Representatives Greeley Of
Portland. ST. Clair OF Calais ard
Tnombs Of Lincoln. The controItns
arguments which defeated tie amend
ment seemed 20 be tl.G lets that the
committee had listened TO the argu-
ments for and against the division for
II hours ard had then after a week S
delay reported unanimously in favor
Of the division, ana that the amend
ment Was paramount 70 an indefinite
postponement inasmuch as the 60G
voters OF the opposing section Of tie
town could certainly defeat the 2G0
voters of the section asking to be set
Of as a new town. The vote was TAX
on by a division Of the House and le-
suited in a count of Sc against tho
amendment and only &c in favor OF it.

tuition to be 2 splendid institution and
one cXcellently managed ard in NOV
ing the acceptance Ct the unfayorable
report he WIS prompted only ~ bus
incss reasons. In brief his argument
Was that The State caHnot afford
both an appropriation Of $500 for eX-
tensions at the Hallowall Industrial
School and an appropriation OF s50, 900
Tor Wolnan's reformatory. and he
favored the appropriation for The re-
for,2at0ry as against The ap3ropria-
ticn for the Industrial school. liz. said
