Funeral of james II, Blair,

Gardiner, II. Hermon Lodge of F. & A.
Masons of Gardiner, buried with appropriate
Masonic Honors, Brother James b. Blair of
this place, to-day. The usual services were
performed at the house, by Rev. Mr.. Brown
of the Methodist church, and were of the
most solemn and interesting character. After
the services at the house, the body with the
friends of the deceased were escorted to Oak
Grave Cemetery by Herlnon Lodge. The
order of the procession vas the Marshal,
Gardiner Band, Hermon Lodge, members Of
the Ionic Funeral Car, six r. A. Masons as
pail bearers, relatives and friends of the de-
ceased in carriages. The procession was
very large and was attended by many of the
citizens to the Cemetery, where the usual
very sad impressive rites were performed by
Hermon Lodge, of which the deceased was a
member. The deceased in character was
very much respected and beloved, and his
loss is a sad one, not only to his immediate
family but to his large circle of friends in
this city. Mr.. Blair was a young man, en-
gagged in the drug business, and we under
stand was about to be married to a very esti-
mable young lady to whom this sudden blow
seems a very sad affection. The members Of
the Masonic Order feel that in this sudden
and unexpected death, they have lost a
Brother, and one wi ose cheerful face will
hereafter be greatly missed. V.

stating that there have been manifestations
ola tumultuous character in the city for the

hall has been seized; the excitement is in
creasing The friends of law and order are
determined that the lecture shall be heard.
The police headquarters are guarded by hun.
dreds of special police in addition to the reg
ular force. The Mayor is personally in
charge. Many suspect that the rioters are in
the street awaiting the movements.

Chicago, II. Vice President Colfax ad-

He said among the happiest recollections of
his life was the time he had spent in an infant
class, TO which he had been taken by his.
mother when three years old. He was a
teacher for twelve years in a Sunday school,
and one of the sweetest rewards of his life
was the assurance of a young man about
entering the ministry, that it was through
his influence he had been led to that calling.
He dwelt with much emphasis on the bene-
fetal influence exerted on society by the
Sunday school. Before leaving he wished to
give two sentiments to the young people be-
fore him. First, be masters of your tempers;
hasty words cause more unhappiness than
from any other source; second never allow
yourself to do an act privately that you would
blush to have exposed.

In this warm weather economy of fuel and
comfort are nireh promoted by the use of the
gas stove for cooking. One of our citizens
informs US that he has used one for six weeks
past and that it has done all the cooking for
small family during that time without once
lighting fire in the cooking stove. Legs
and loins of lamb, loaves of bread and cake
and potatoes have been baked with it, flat
irons heated and all the culinary operations
usual in a small family, effectus!ly and salts
factorily performed without heating the kitch-
en- and at very small expense. The expense
is indicated by the gas meter, which shows
a conumption of 1000 feet for six weeks, for
lighting the house and doing the cooking.
The consumption for lighting the house dur
ing the previous twelve weeks was ], 400 feet.
Making, at the same ratio for lighting the
house, the consumption of gas for cooking,
800 feet, at an expense of S4.05, sum less
than wood would have cost. These stoves
must come extensively into use when they
become known. ..st...

THE Naine Farmer approves our sugges-
ton dor a public park, and has the following
in relxtiGn to location:
The question of location is about the first
that presents itself. 1t may be put down as
essential thai park for Augusta should be so
situated as to command, from some part of it,
good view of the Kennebec. The advantage
of a water view must not be neglected. Then
it must be easily accessible from the central
party of the city. 1T must contain level
ground enough for parades and games of base
ball, and drives and promenades for those
who do not like to climb hills. Yet there
must be variety of surface, and if there are
few abrupt hills, all the better for the pic
turesque. We think of no location that COM
bines these requisites better than the unoc-
cupies ground between the villages of Augusta
and Hallowell, stretching back from the river
to the granite hill in the rear Of the State
House. Just as it is to-day, this is one of the
most beautiful spots in the whole region
That portion lying Immediately at the eastern
base of the hin only requiresa few good roads
: to make it a complete park. There are some
very picturesque We've of the precipitous
hedges on the hillside, and from the brow of
the hill, whittier a carriage road might be
built, there are grand views of the plane be-
low; of Hallowell and the river in front of it.
OF part ol augusta, anu Oh tne valley OF the
Kennebec toward Vassalboro'. This mark
would be available for citizens of both HALO
well and Augusta. As part of the ground
in question is within the limits of the former,
the enterprise might be joint one. The nat
ural advantages of that portion within Augusta
are SO great and its present condition SO fav-
orable for the formation of park, that we
trust its owners will never sacrifice it to the
great right-angled demon, and have it cut up
into square house lots bounded by straight
streets. Why could they not Gf the public
should not desire their land) make park as
private speculation, on the principle of some
of the colonies near New York, composed
of families of taste and means, who associate
themselves for the purpose of maintaining
pleasure grounds to be used in common by all
the proprietors, each having his own house.
We commend the matter to their eonsidera-
ton.

We have already given in our Geographic
columns the result of the inquest holden at
Bangor on the late railroad accident. On
Wednesday, Hon. S. IL Blake, one of the
Railroad Commissioners, testified that he re-
garded the duties of the commissioners as
supervisory, as the responsibility of making
and keeping in order the tracks and bridges
rests upon the railroad com-snies. When
the commissioners find that oy.idge is unsafe
they notify the officers of the road of the fact
pair it, Other duties of the commissioners
were specified. The only examinations he
had ever given the Hampden road bridge this
year were with the eye; never heard of any
suspicion that it was unsafe, nor did he dis
cover anything on the timbers indicating rot :;
they had the appearance of being smooth and
sound. If bridge is examined by the Gem
missioners and there is every indication of its
being sound, he should not consider any dan
ger imminent. He did not know as there is
any railroad superintendent in Maine who
would run train over bridge declared I'M
safe. In his opinion, if the train had run
over the Hampden road bridge at the rate Of
twelve miles an hour, the accident would not
have occurred. Running as it did, down
grade, at 23 to 25 miles an hour, there was a
great strain on the bridge, which it could not
sustain.
Mr.. Small, station agent at Bangor, testi-
fed that attention has been called twice to
the fact that some Of the lateral braces had
fallen out ofithe Hampden bridge; the section
men said this was not an important part Of
the bridge. No complaint has ever been
made that the bridge was rotten.
Edwin Noyes, on being recalled, testified
that more persons have been killed on the
rear car, in this country, than in any other
place on trains meeting with accidents. On
this road the Assistant Superintendent has
the making up and running of trains and reg
ulates the rate of speed. Should think that
% to 25 miles an hour an unusual rate of
speed at the Hampden bridge. Has always
given his men instructions to be thorough in
the examination of bridges.
Geo. Terry, testified that he was present
when Col. Wildes examined the bridge. Went
upon the bridge and walked along humping.
He was over half an hour examining it. Have
seen the bridge since it broke down. 1t looks
pretty bad-pretty rotten. Have seen no
rotten places in the bridge since it came down,
which could be discovered without boring.
Have seen no worm holes or signs of exter-
nal rot.
