The Gas Failure Tuesday Evening.

The trouble at the Gas Works Tuesday evening
was owing to the cup of the upper section of the
gas holder jamming against the lower section on
one side in going down. 1t was held in this way
for time until out of plumb, and then fell with
jerk, breaking in the opposite side and causing a
bad leak.
The original cause of the difficulty was the set
Ting of one side of the foundation of the tank,
which was built on made land some ten years
ago, The columns and guides were thrown out
of line and the holder consequently got out of
shape from the strain on it in working.
The builders of the holder and other parties of
experience were consulted, and the conclusion
reached that thorough repairs could not be made
without taking down the holder. This would
take a month or two and new one must be built
first. A contract accordingly made last
Spring for a new holder, and the work has been
pushed as fast as possible since but it cannot be
completed this year.
In the meantime everything has been done that
the best engineering skill could devise, and no
expense has been spared to keep the present hold
or working well until the new one can be built,
and until Tuesday evening with apparent success
Inc dppilances auueu 10 keep the nolder IN the
right position seemed to answer the purpose per-
fectly well and the Company had no apprehen-
sion of any difficulty from that cause until the
new holder would be in operation.
Every effort is making to furnish a supply of
gas as soon as possible. The upper section of the
holder, weighing some thirty tons, has to be first
lifted into place in order to get at the leak.
The Company appreciate and regret the loss
and inconvenience occasioned to consumers and
the public by this accident.

DoENELLY AND THE PACIFIC RAILROAD
There are three contests now going on in Con-
gressional districts that owing either to the
fame of the candidates of the respective par
ties or to exceptional circumstances attending
their nomination, engross public attention in a
degree only second to that directed to the main
contest. These are the fifth Massachusetts,
where Butler, in spite of formidable bolt and
the damaging exposure. of his military career
by General Gordon, is almost sure to be elect
ed; the fifth New York district where Greeley,
Morrissey and Train are engaged in no doubt
ful contest, and the first Minnesota where the
suddenly famous Ignatius Donnelly is fighting
for reelection against Republican candidate
nominated by his foes. Our Minnesota ex-
changes are full of this local contest to the ex-
clusion of almost everything else. The press
Of the country is divided in opinion as TO the
merits of the case, bnt the Minneapolis Tri-
bune explains or attempts to explain the
grounds of this difference of opinion by refer
snce to Donnelly's relations to the various Pa
cifc railroad schemes. If it's explanation is
correct the result is a matter of more than
mere local interest. The Tribune says:
We will now venture to suggest solution of
the phenomenon we have witnessed in respect
to the course of certain of the outside press in
relation to our congressional contest. IF the
reader will take the trouble to glance at map
of the United States, he will perceive that
line drawn westward from New York and
Philadelphia through Cincinnati, Chicago,
Omaha, and thence on to the Pacific, passes
through what may be called the centre of
commerce of the United States, and the GEN.
trail region more especially interested III the
Union Pacific Railroad. The journals of this
region are nearly all in the interest of that
great monopoly, the Union Pacific corporation
The journals of this region, at the outset, loud
ly proclaimed Donuely bolter. But since
the line has been drawn between HIM and
Gen. Andrews, the special representatives of
sofa in respect to the Northern Pacific road,
most of the journals along this central line
suddenly discooered that Donneily is the regular
candidate. We leave our readers to imagine
the nature of the "eye openers" in these cases.

A FEW PRESIDENTS FOR THE Snow STORM.
The recent severe snow storm reminds a cor
respondent Of the Boston Journal Of the fol-
lowing passage in "Eaton's Annals of War
rem, Name"
October II, 1870, two young men, james
Dickey and John Anderson, went into the
woods to examine their sable traps near the
present line of Waldoboro'. The forenoon had
been warm and was spent by them digging po-
tatoes. and in the afternoon they left hcme
wearing their summer clothing and having no
apprehension of change in the weather, but
in a short time cloud arose in the northwest,
the air was suddenly darkened, a heavy sheet
of snow began to fall and the wind rushed
through the forest, swapping the aged trunks
and endangering all beneath.
The storm and wind continued through the
night, and the two young men yielded to the
freezing cold and tell PROSTATE in the snow
After long and anxious search by their
friends and neighbors, their melancholy fate
was discovered
During the same storm two women, a Mrs
Rines and Mrs. Benner, lost their way in the
woods and persisted in a similar manner.
A similar storm occurred in Maine the 18th
Of October, 1921, when about six inches OF
snow fell, though the weather was not then
near as cold as we have had this year.
