the Maine Standard which came to hand

through halls decor ated with stalactites and
stalagmites found a torrent pouring into a

magnetic that they whipped away the guns
and ha,chets of the explorers, and held them
too stoutly for the combined strength OF the
party. One of the party had nails in the
soles of his boots, and was suddenly and i'm
mqyably anchored, and escaped only by sac
rifcing the boots to the offending divinity
of the cave Here is magnetic influence

HALL0WEL1 GRANITE COMPANY


AT the new capitol building at Albany,
Tuesday afternoon, Sheriff Gallup accompan.
led by n. c. Noak, levied upon all the stone
in and about the grounds belonging to the
IIallowell Granite Company of this state, by
virtue of writs Of attachment issued by Re-
corder Greene that morning. The cause OF
the action is stated to be as follows;
Several years since Mr.. John Bridgeford
was the owner of valuable granite quarry
at Hallowell, WHICH he subsequently disposed
of to company of which Mr.. J. j. Bodwell
was president, known as the Halloween Gran
tie Company. Mr.. Bodwell was also presi-
dent of the Bodwell Granite Company of
Rockland, from which two companies the new
Capitol Commissioners of Albany have OBJ
tanned large portion of their supply of stone.
For this quarry the Hallowell Granite Com
pany agreed to pay the sum OF $4,000. Soon
after making the purchase, $4,000 of tue
amount was paid, leaving $4,000 due, which
was to be paid on a certain specified day in
February last.
The time came and passed by, the payment
was not made, and now, as is alleged, the
Company have refused to pay the balance.
