Under the laws of last Legislature, authority, was given the shin fish fish and commissionfleenses to game unaccompanied by owners. The department was sending out.

the blank Wednesday, to the various express agents and wardens in the localities where they will be the most needed. It is proposed to make the express agents and wardens, the agents to sell the 11- censes. These licenses are for the purpose of allowing the shipping of togue, trout and landlocked salmon. There is another proviso in the bill and the blank licenses for this that allows the shipping of white fish will be mailed later in the season. The queries of the board bulletin for May are being sent out by Secretary MeKeen.

This number is to be devoted to barn construction. Mr. McKeen notes that the increased interest in the raising of live stock should be attended to and that better barn facilities are needed. In addition to these questions he asks the usual seasonable questions in regard to the crops. "Did you know that in 1820 there was lawsuit between the towns of Hallowell and Gardiner in which the question of a slave was concerned?" remarked State Librarian Carver, Wednesday, "It is so," he continued.

"'The case was case in which the town of Hallowell tried to recover from the town of Gardiner the amount it had paid out on a pauper, a descendant of slave Gardiner." certain, The case in question is reported in the court reports of the year 1820. It seems that a slave, Isaac Hazard Stockbridge, known as Hazard who was imported from Africa by Dr. Sylvester Gardiner, lived for many years in Boston with his master. While there with the consent of Dr. Gardiner he was married to a free black woman, Cooper Loring.

In about 1762, Hazard incurred the displeasure of his master and with his wife and family, was sent to the doctor's plantation in Gardinerstown, Maine, on the east side of the river. Later Hazard moved his family to the west side of the river which was incorporated in tue town of Pittston in 1779. Hazard died in 1780. Later his daughter, Lucy, moved to Augusta for several years, moving back to Pittston. Gardiner was divided from Pittston in 1803, and Lucy with her family lived in Gardiner until 1809 when they moved about finally settling in Hallowell.

It was Lucy's daughter who was the patper on the town of Hallowell, and Hallowell claimed she was properly the charge of Gardiner. Gardiner claimed that the girl was not by any means on the town as she had gained no settlement there. They contested that if the man Hazard, the grandfather of the pauper, was a slave 38 the testimony showed him to be, he was legally married as no slave could ester into etell contracts. Consequently the children were Illegitimate. Furthermore, Hazard being a slave could gain no residence in a and his illegitimate children could ne more do so.

The court decided that Hallowell had no "The State of Maine really passed an emancipation law long before President Lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, said a lawyer, Wednesday." In the laws of 1857 will be found in chapter 53, a law which gives freedom to all slaves voluntarily brought or sent into the State of Maine by their masters, and it imposed a punishment on all attempting to exert the power of a master, of a fine of $1000, or one year's imprisonment. Previous to this the slavery in the State had been practically stopped." to that in 1855, Maine followed the lead of many other states in passing a personal liberty bill which prohibited any person from assisting any Unitel States officer from catching a fugitive Chapter 182, Sections 2 and 3, says that no sheriff or other officer shall rest or, detain any person on account of a claim that he is a rugitive slave. The punishment on this charge was a fine of $1000 or one year's imprisonment. That law passed by the last Legislature prohibiting book peddlers from conducting their business without a license is proving a bone of contention and one prolific of discussion among the agents I and also among the officials as some do not understand the full meaning of the law. Some of the agents come to the State House to get State licenses and ask for instructions on the matter as they do not fully understand the full meaning of the law.

It has been made all the more complicated in the minds of many of them since it was reported by some paper, that a similar law in the state of Tennessee was declared unconstitutional as It was in violation of the Interstate commerce laws. The latter case to which they refer was one of Robbins, a travelling man, against a county in Tennessee. It was really a test case In which the travelling men contributed and had Mr. Robbing gO ahead with the case. This was tried in ,1856 and was carried to the United States supreme court.

It has been reported that this case was similar to the one in question in Maine, but a reference to the United States report was made by Librarian Carver. Friday, who found that the date was altogether different. In he Tennessee case the law referred to the travelling men from another county or state going to a county in the state, where they paid no taxes. They were obliged to take out a license to sell their regular goods. This was declared to be a violation of the law of interstate commerce by the supreme court.

fir the Maine case the law does not apply to travelling men of regularly established houses, who go about welling to the dealers in their class of goods, This new law will take some of the profit off the peddlers as they must have a state, county or town license. The State license that allows them to gO to any town in the State, costa $51 for year. A town or city license costs at least 43 and from that amount to according to the size of the place.

The genuine has on each tables. CITY REPORTS. Those of the Health Departments Briefly Discussed. They Show Last Year's Good Progress and Make Recommendations. At the opening of the report of the board of health of the city of Augusta, the board says it is its intention to awaken in the citizens an interest in sanitary matters.

The report is so very clear and so well put together, that any citizen who reads it will at once feel that every one has a share in keeping the city healthy. Under the head of sewers, the members say they have often been called upon for advice, in the past year, in the matter and have freely responded. They believe that all the new sewers have been properly placed and that there is a sad need of more, recommending that a liberal appropriation be made for this purpose. They have, to a certain extent, done away with some of the dumping places for garbage. They have caused trenches for the deposits of vaults to be placed, and recommend more, hoping in time the people will come to realize the only safe method of disposing of garbage is by cremation.

There are, so they say, in the city four gullies into which private sewers enter. The board has made a beginning in cleaning some of these of the underbrush and extending to the sewers and hope to do more this year. Of the water supply they give a very good I test of the city water made by a Professor Robinson of Bowdoin College. They say that water born disease of the city in the past year, has been more on account of wells than from that of the city water supply, as the months of March and April were the two worst months, and then when there was so much surface drainage running into the They commend the water of the Glenwood spring and the Diamond spring. The present mode of supplying scholars with water is condemned, and recommendations that will lead to the better health of the children are given.

An appeal is made for the teaching of the school children the importance of hygiene and sanitation. In conclusion they say that the past year has been one of activity. Smallpox was the cause of the greatest expense. Smallpox cost the city $350. In the report of Dr.

G. M. Randall, the health officer, he gives the following consolidated report of the nuisances reported, inspected and corrected: Inspections Inspections made, made and 320 verified, Inspections made, no cause, Notices to remedy served, Sewer Abatements during year, 220 connections ordered, Sink waste running on surface, Vaults full, Cesspools running over, Privies discontinued, Cesspools inspected, Catch basins defective, Cellars filthy, Pig pens abolished. 16 Sewers not trapped, New cesspools ordered, Private sewers condemned, Privy vaults reconstructed, Stables filthy, Water closets defective, Accumulation of garbage, Defective plumbing, Wells closed, Cisterns closed, Hens In cellar, Defective sink traps, Improperly ventilated soll pipe, Manure in yards, Slaughter houses abolished, Re-Inspections, Another table gives the number of cases of contagious diseases reported within the year ending March 1 1, 1899: Typhoid fever, Scarlet Diphtheria, fever, Consumption, Smallpox, Chicken-pox, In commenting on this, Dr. Randall calls to mind the fact that the great disease, typhoid fever, was due to the return of the soldiers from the South in August.

This table does not include those treated at the Camp Powers military hospital. In article on vaccination, the doctor reviews the work in this line in the United States, as well as what has been done in Augusta, where 1300 or more were vaccinated during the past 1 few months. The following Is the list of deaths -and their causes, that have occurred in the city during the past year: Pnuemonia, 19 Cholera-infantum, Heart troubles (various), Mania (acute and chronic), Debility (ill defined), Dementia, Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Apoplexy, fever, Bronchitis, 10 Typho-Malarial fever, Enteritis, Inanition, Dysentery and Diarrhoea (adults), Meningitis, Cancer, Premature Births and Stillborn, Alcoholism, Lagrippe, Marasmus, Appendicitis, Melancholia, Bright's Disease, Blood Poisoning, Angina Pectoris, Diabetes, Diseases of Liver, Paralysis, Locomotor Ataxia, Epilepsy, Accidental.

Bean says that among other duties he has been called upon to perform, the past year, ne has corrected 60 bad places in the sewers. He says the new sewers put in, last year, are ones. He explains that there are faults and In some cases very dangerous ones. In the construction of the Jefferson street, the Western avenue, the Winthrop street, the Wade, the Gannett street, and the Bridge street sewers, all of which are old sewers. He makes the following recommendations; "1 would recommend that there be now sewer put in on Franklin street to connect with the Washington street sewer.

"That the Cony street sewer I be extended about six hundred feet, and that part of it at Gannett street be relaid deeper as to give a proper grade to the Gannett street sewer.

APPRAISERS ASKED FOR. Kennebec Water District File Bill in Equity, Friday. Trustees Cannot Agree on Terms With the Maine Water Co. It seems that there ty destined to be a little law suit in connection with turning over of the franchise of the Maine Water Co. at Waterville and Winslow.

to the Kennebee Water District. The trustees of the Water District filed a bill in equity with Clerk of Courts W. S. Choate, Friday, against the city of Waterville, the Fairfield Village Corporation, the Waterville Water the Maine Water the Portland Trust and the Maine Trust and Banking Co. The Water District states that it is a corporation duly authorized by charter to acquire by purchase, or by the exercise of eminent domain, the plant, property and franchises, rights and privileges, held by the Maine Water within the district, and towns of Benton and Winslow.

The charter also provides that should the trustees of the district fail to agree with the Maine Water Co. upon terms of the purchase the property, they shall file a bill in equity in the supreme court to procure judicious appraisal and continuation. They say that they have to agree upon the price and hence bill failed, in equity, They pray for the appointment appraisers who shall appraise and condemn the, property, and it is also asked that the complainant be directed to make payment of the amount of the valuation to the parties legally entitled thereto. This action involves quite an amount of property, the largest in fact, of any case brought into the Kennebec courts in many years. There is also a rumor that there is something behind all this in the failure of the trustees to make terms, as it is said the Saco Biddeford Water Co.

is urging and using its influence to make the Maine Water Co. hang off as long as possible and to secure for them the largest price possible, as there is said to be a scheme on foot to secure the same sort of a district in those two cities, where the citizens are said to be dissatisfied with the service. It is alleged in the bill of equity that the water furnished by the Maine ter Co. is use, hence the Win: pany has forfeited its rights and franchises. It is also alleged that the rates are excessive and unreasonable.

FRANK QUIRION INDICTED. Charged With Both Winslow Murders--Joseph Quirion Discharged. The grand jury was in session, Friday, listening to the evidence in the Winslow cases in which Frank and Joseph Quirion were charged with being the murderers of Louis Brassau and Andrew Roseby, the alleged deeds having been committed on the night of Saturday, April 15. The jury: had 20 or more witnesses before them during the day who gave all the light possible on the matter. As a result of the investigation, the jury rose, at 5.30, Friday afternoon, and reported that they had found two indictments for murder against Frank Quirion, and none against Joseph Quirion.

The latter man was dismissed from the custody of the officers, while Frank Quirion was committed to jail to await the action of the supreme judial court which sits in Augusta in October of this year. A Cool Experience. Friday, April 28, was the 28th marriage anniversary of Mr. J. W.

Harlow and the occasion vividly recalled to his mind that trip when he drove out on the Belgrade road 27 years ago after his wife. The happy occasion was made all the more impressive from the fact that he went in a sleigh and remembers that when driving through a snow drift some three miles out from the city near the John Arnold place, that the top of his whip did not reach as high as was the top of the drift he was driving through. Yet there are people who complain of the present month of April being cool. Scrofula, a Vile Inheritance. Scrofula is the most obstinate of blood troubles, and is often the result of an inherited taint in the blood.

Detective Tracey took to Bangor, Thursday, and locked in jail Fred Chase and Walter Small of Plymouth, two young men who are charged with being the destroyers of about $200 worth of property at the carding mill of Robinson Lamb in Plymouth.

There were 69 prisoners in the county jail at Bangor, Thursday- smaller number than usual. The tramps, as a rule, get into other jails where they have a softer snap owing to the absence of the stoneyard, by them so much detested. Bangor jail has a well developed and vigorous stoneyard and most of the tramps know it, therefore they give Bangor a wide berth. James W. Steen, selectman at Mt.

Chase is in the city his return from Portland, where he went with a pauper who is receive treatment at the Maine General hospital. Mr. Steen says that on Monday he drove from Mt. Chase to Patten on runners and the sleighing was as good as any time during the winter. He says that there is three feet of snow in the woods in that section.

Bangor News, April 28. The selectmen of Bucksport have ordered posted a warrant for a special town meeting to be held in Town hall, Monday, May 6, at 10 o'clock. There are four articles to be cited upon: choose a moderator: to see if the town To will vote to accept the proposition of Hon. Parker Spofford in relation to a new Grammar schoolhouse and to see if the town will vote to raise $300 to repair the Main street bridge in Bucksport village. The grand jury of the Aroostook supreme judicial court were discharged, Tuesday, after having been in session eight days.

The following indictments were found: Common seller, of intoxicating liquors, 50; larceny, one; maintaining a common nuisance, 10; cheating by false pretences, embezzlement, assault and larceny, felonlous assault, 1: lascivious behavior, 1. In the action McCue vs. C. P. R.

the plaintiff being unable to obtain witnesses which resided in the province of New Brunswick the action was non-suited. The condition of Charles Libby of Lewiston, who was struck on the head by his sister-in-law Mary Pollard, with the sharp edge of a plate, Thursday night, continues very serious. He was taken to the Hospital of the Sisters of Charity, and the woman was taken to the police station by the officers who had been called in to hold the man during the examination made by the doctor. In court Friday, the charge was simply assault and battery. The respondent pleaded not guilty, and the victim of the plate not being able to appear in court, was bound over till Saturday morning, under $200 bonds.

Ernest Simmons, who was arrested at Westbrook, for vagrancy, is held at the county jail awaiting the arrival of Massachusetts officers. Word was received from Palmer, that Simmons was indicted there, last December. Simmons confessed that he is wanted for larcency of a horse and carriage at Wales, Mass. He has also served a sentence in the Massachusetts reformatory. James A.

Garfield McDonald, with several aliases, was, Friday, sentenced to 60 days for vagrancy. The officers are sure that he is wanted in Massachusetts, having been enrolled in the Lyman school for boys, in Massachusetts and run away from the man with whom he was living. The proposed changes in the court house at Belfast, will embrace the fitting of fire proof rooms, that the records of the county may be better protected from fire. Steel girders will be substituted for the wooden floor timbers and building concrete will be used in the floors and walls. Steel sashes will replace the present iron ones.

A steel partition with steel doors will divide the office of the clerk of courts and a steel door will open from the book room into the county commissioners' room. Two vaults with doors opening into the registry of deeds and the probate office, will be put into the registry of deeds' office. Each vault will contain steel book cases and will be furnished with windows. Louis Gill of Greenville, was before Judge Durgin of Dover, the other day, and fined $50 and costs for a single sale of intoxicating liquor. An appeal was taken from the sentence.

On the evening of the same day, Deputy Sheriff Knowles went to Greenville armed with a search warrant and found the establishment of Louis Gill open and doing A large, business. The officer seized three gallons of various intoxicants. Gill accompanied the officer back to Dover the next day and was fined $100 and costs. Deputy Sheriff Knowles seized 10 gallons of whiskey at Greenville marked to John Plud which was libelled by Judge Durgin. John McDonald for contempt in not appearing a8 a witness was fined $1 and costs amounting to $15.

He promised to come next time. When the city of Bangor arrived at Bucksport, Wednesday, one of the first passengers to come ashore was Mrs. Robert Miles, who has figured so conspicuously in the Ware murder case. Many of the citizens of the village feared that she had gone on her contemplated trip to Oregon and could not be reached in case she was wanted as a witness.
