HELD POSITION BEFORE H. L. Porter to Thirty Made Third Class Four Years Ago— Be Retired After Service—Office of i Years Salary Decreased $100 Last Month. A. B. Goodrich has received notice from Homer S. Cummings that his name has been sent to the president for postmaster at the Berlin office. It is probable the name will be sent t. the senate within the next two days for confirmation. There has been much conjecture about town the past few months regarding the office. | Many favored the retention of the present postmaster, H. L. Porter, and several letters were sent to Natfonal } Committeeman Cummings by promi- nent citizens. Mr. Porter is a Civil war veteran and this was considered | a good reason for his continuance in the office by his many friends. Mr. Goodrich has always been an ardent democrat, despite several rumors to the contrary. The office will be no new one to Mr. Goodrich for he held the same position from 1895 to 1899, having been appointed by President Cleveland. It will probably be a month before he assumes the office. On the twenty-third of the past ‘mionth, Postmaster H. L. Porter com- pleted thirty years as postmaster of the local office. He w first ap- pointed in 1881 by President Garfield | nnd served until 1895. Mr. Goodrich then received the office and held it until 1899, when the republican ad- 1ninistration returned Mr. Paorter. The office until four years ago was fourth class and the salary s seckoned by the 1ount of cancella- tion. It was approximately 00. Four years 5 it advanced to | third class with a of $1,500. | I* remained at that figure until a yronth ago, when the salary was re- duced to $1,400 because of a slight| falling cff in the amount of business. Mr. Porter said this morning that fe had received no official notice of the impending change. He has always been on the jab since holding the position and many citizens will re- gret his rectirement was salary | | | Not Registered Republican, Since Mr. Goodrich announced his | Intention of running for the post-| mastership there has been a story cir- cuilated about town that he is a re- publican. This he denied this morn- ing. It is said that two yvears ago just | priar to the town election, he was| approached by a friend who was de- sirous of being an officeholder and | ssked to change his registration fn\ the republican party. He refused and ! when the friend was leaving the yard | he said: “Well, I'll enter it anywav.” This was done, for according to Regis- | ,$rar Morse, Mr, Gaodrich’s name has teen on his list since that time.

Paris, Aug. 2, noon—Poignant de- tails of the deportation at an hour and a half's notice of 25,000 citizens from the French towns of Lille, Rou- baix and Tourcoing by the Germans last Easter are given in a French yel- low book released for publication to- day. The German orders were for the people in certain districts of these towns to assemble in readiness for departure at their front doors, which were to be left open, and none was to leave the house before 8 a. m. The orders stated that ““All protests will be useless and any one trying to evade deportation will be pitilously pun- ished.” The ims in all cases were chosen arbitrarily by the o cer in charge of the deporting party. Each person singled out for deportation was al- lowed sixty ounds of baggage, which it was recommended should consist of utensils for eating and drinking, a blanket, good shoes and personal linen. If any one exceeded this weight his or her whole baggage was to be thrown aside.

Surface indications at this time give strength to the belief that there | will be no very disturbing contests at | the republican caucus and as the democrats do not make a practice of using a caucus list when they meet to select the party nomine there seemingly will be no neces for registering this vear. Candidates for office, if any there be, are showing no haste in exhibi themselves and unless the devel ments of the next few weeks are of an unexpected character, the caucuse are liable to be very tame aff: The disagreements in the republican camp invariable center around the selection of the candidate for first se- lectmen, while of course there is an occasional contest for minor positions. This year there is nothing on the sur. face to indicate that the G. O. P. dissatisfied with the services of Se- lectman Johnson who has been at the helm for the past two years and should he desire a renomination there does not appear to be any reason for belleving that he will meet with a organized opposition. With the other offices held by re- publicans similar conditions are ven- erally believed to exist. Tax Col- lector Hemingway is certain of his usual place on the ticket. Grand Juror Gwillim should have no diffi- culty in retaining the prosecutor's joh and none will argue that there is ar possibility of C. W. Hird losing his office as guardian of the town's ex chequer. Members of the board of relief and the assessors as well a not appear to be in danger at this time anyway and the caucuses which | will precede the Octoher elec will probably be disappointing to those who revel in political hts. rhe is of co cnance that the con stables will have to furnish the ex- citement as a year is a long time for a police officer to be on the job without making himself dislked ny a few at least. Marino, David and An- derson have been doing the bulk of the work of the republican constables this year and as they appear to “stand aces” with the powers that be in the G. O. P. ranks renominations should come to them without any difficulty. Except for the selectmanship which they make a strong bid cvery vear, the democrats have to :alke minority representation in the town's official family and this year no new conditions are expected to arise. 'They are talking of again naming William C. Hart as their candidate for the selectmanship. Mr. Hart made a fine showing at the last October election and should he be desirious of making | a second t it is likely that the democrats will give him the oppor- tunity. ! At this time, which of course is sufficiently early to permit of devel- opments of a varied sort, it would ap- pear that the license issue will again have to be used as the masgnet fo at- tract the voters to the polls on elec- tion day.
