TIE B. 4 W. l.. RAILROAD LEASE

The Argus says the following are the prop.
ositions of the Directors of the Maine Cen.
trail Railway Company to the Committee Of
the directors of the Belfast & Mooseheat
Lake Railroad Company. made in Portland
Friday:
lst. To equip and run the road for four
years, paying all the net earnings to the other
Company, and at the expiration of the term
to take lease and pay rent equal to the
largest net earnings fer any one Of the four
years, or
To equip and run the road and pay City pei
cent. of the gross earnings for three years
and forty per cent. for forty years.
I'd. To take a lease for fifty years of thu
Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad, in it
present condition, and pay rent of 1924 ,00t
year fer the first Ave years; 1913, 900 for the
next five years; 900 for the next five
years; $4,000 for next five years; $4,000
for the next five years, and S42 900 for the
next twenty-five years, or to pay 1886, 900 g
year for fifty years.
No arrangements were concluded. as the
Belfast Committee have first to report. We
understand that after the Maine Central
Board had adjourned, the Belfast Committee
made proposition to lease their railroad fol
fifty years, at $4,000 year. 1t was con-
dition of all the propositions that the rate OF
fare and freight to and from Belfast should be
no higher than to and from Bangor for SINH
lar distances.

Of debt, it Is a good time and now is the right

n
Of debt, it is good time and now is the right
time, to enlarge, by purchasing few acres
west Of the cemetery, in order to add about
two hundred lots 25xl5 feet to the corpora
ton, with its driveways and its gravel walks
very convenient and handsome. A large part
Of it can be made into lots with very little ex-
pense and be durable after we are dead and
gone, or move out of the country. An arti-
fetal pond made in the deep hollow by de-
posting what gravel there is to be spared, to
| fill up and form this pond in the center Of this
contemplated addition would add to the beauty
Of the cemetery. And the expense Of the
whole pond is merely nominal, the clay over
the bottom to hold the water that is made by
| spring is about all the expense there is about
the pond, except the driveways and the gravel
walks around it. This pond will contain water
through the dry season, according to the opin-
ion Of good judges. The water stands there
now without clay bottom part of the dry
season. The water is needed very much for
watering plants and flowers which many are
trying to cultivate to improve their lots
1t would be very convenient to have water
for many have to haul it from the river to
keep their plants in growing condition. Be-
sides many more would cultivate plants and
flowers, if water could be obtained without
the expense and trouble Of sinking hogsheads
and carting water from the river.
Now thare ia IN no animal runptinu soop
to choose officers for the corporation. 1t is
hoped that every one belonging to this organi-
cation will come into the meeting and consult
together what is best to be done. And there
should be fund Of a few hundred dollars, SO
that the interest Of it should be applied to
keeping the driveways, grub-outs and all the
walks and avenues weeded and kept neat
and nice, as well as the lots. These little
trimmings do not cost but little, and see how
much better they would look if all the drive
ways were kept as neat as Mr.. Thomss Lam
bard keeps the Messrs. Lambard's lot and the
road connected with tire grounds.
And for further information about the en-.
largement of this cemetery, refer you to a
plan on exhibition in the rooms of the Savings
Bank, where VIM. r. Smith, Esq, is Treas
urer, and all the members of the corporation
are requested to call and see this plan, and all
others interested in providing themselves or
their friends with lots in Forest Grove ceme-
terry. Nature has done much in the original
state, and the owners of lots have done more
to beautify and adorn with trees, roads, walks,
avenues, monuments, tablets and many hand
some fences made after different designs and
now all it wants is finishing. f. s.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, March /.
| The Conference report on the Indian APP
| preparation bill was agreed to, after some dis :
| cusson.
| The bill repeating the duty on foreign coal
was received from the House and read for the
| first time.
| The army appropriation bill was again
| taken up, when Mr.. salisbury opposed its
passage, because of the rejection of his
amendment prohibiting the expenditure of
any money appropriated by the bill for the
payment of troops at elections. He regarded
| that rejection as sufficient indication that the
dominant party intended to use the army to
| carry elections. He said there was a man at
| the other end of the Avenue, who, though
unle;tered, and knowing little of his country s
history, possessed an indominabe will and
undoubted courage. When the House of
| Representatives came to count the electoral
votes for the next President, that man would
perhaps be found willing instrument in en-
| ploying an army. to whose support the Senate
was appropriatng this money, in the reestab-
| lshment OF himself for four years more. He
| (Saulsbury) would now serve notice on the
dominant party that if the democrats by a
fair vote, elected their nominee for President,
| they intended to inaugurate him, if they had
to wade knee deep in blood.
| The bill then passed, and the naval appro-
priation bill was taken up in the Committee of
the Whole. Among the other amendments
adopted was one providing that no part of the
money appropriated by the bill shall be ex-
pended On the account of naval engines con-
tracted for during the war. After disposing
| of twenty pages of the bill the Senate went
into executive session and soon after took a

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. +. Adams of Gardiner,
gave brilliant reception at their residence
on Church street. on Tuesday evening last.
The event of the evening was the celebra-
ton of their wooden wedding, the invitations
to which about 100 in number were nicely
printed on birdseye maple wood. The pre-
sents were of an endless variety, many of
which were both useful and ornamental. Our
reporter noticed many useful toilets worn by
the fair ones, but want of space make us I'M
able to give details. After the evening had
been spent in a very agreeable and social
manner bounteous sapper was served. The
party broke up at a late hour with the
scious feeling of having enjoyed the renewed
festivities of similar occasion five years
since.
Among the hints for spring styles for ladies,
we find that black silk costumes for the street
will retain their popularity. Black cashmere
over-skirts and paletots will be worn until
very late in the season. Over dresses and
saques on black China Grape will be offered
as relief from cashmere when the spring is
over; but this Grape is SO frail that it will
scarcely rival the favorite wraps of black gros
grain and faille. We do not anticipate much
change in street costumes. Spring suits in
preparation retain the long polonaise over
dress arranged to have short apron front
with very long, full back. Short paletots
will certainly be worn again, as quantities are
being imported from Berlin. Basques will be
the universal corsage. Many most distin-
guished looking costumes will be made with
flat trimmings, though hounces and rufies
will be the rule rather than the exception.
Lace insertion will be the most stylish TRIM
ming. Black thread, guipure, and duchesse
insertion will be used on handsome black silk
garments. The richest passementeries, with
jet and without, will be in vogue, and thick,
heavy fringe is largely imported. This fringe
is to be placed straight around the skirts of
dresses between ruffes, puffs, and ruches.
Rows of lace are to be arranged after the
same fashion.
