We trust that the next Legislature will give
this recommendation of the friends Of temper

onstrated in the case of Lewiston that the
plan is feasible, and can be made to remedy
tbs shortcomings Of local officials. There
ought to be no objection to it, inasmuch as,

responsible to the Chief Executive of the State,

A S1NK.-Saturday afternoon gravel train
was passing over the Portland and Ogdensbure
railroad, where it crosses one of the otter
ponds, a mile this side Of Sebsgo Lake, whe n
the road-bed sunk into the pond, making gap
about forty feet long and carrying down the
rear car of the train. The car was recovered
and gang of men yesterday put the track In
condition for business. The line across the
otter ponds was a difficult and expensive piece
of road to build on account of the treacherous
nature of the bottom. There was large
amount of piling done to furnish solid base
for the road, and it was thought to be substan-
