Sunday morning Mrs. Gegra living in the
rear ofwater st, went to Whites wharf to draw
pail Of water from the river. As she did not
return search was made. and her pail and shawl
found ON the wharf. There Is . doubt whether
she committed suicide, or fell into the river,
though various things confirm the former suppo-
sition. She leaves three children. We have
not learned Of the recovery Of tho body.
We hear that individuals owning the land
along the "Ross road" from the Portland road
to OLD Orchard Beach. have lately cut down
some Of the large trees which beautify that route
to the beach. We hope that this almost van
islism will cease In the immediate proximity Of
the rad, for as the other route TO the beach Is
80 open to the solar rays, il seems pity to take
away the only pleasant way Of reaching the
Doesn of summers day.
