The Missing Gill:


Since the disappearance OF Miss Clapp, her
friends have endeavored to ascertain, if possible,
if she had any f1yorite place to visit, on walking
out. On Friday evening it was ascertaned that
the last time she went to walk was In company
with couple of neighbors 1t was on summer
evening, the last of June or the first of July. On
passing down to Water street she indicated pref
erence to 90 to the North end, and visit the dam.
On reaching that point she sat down near the
machine shop, and playfully threw stones and
pebbles into the river On the theory Of suicide,
her friends have been led to believe that she
might have committed the deed there. Yesterday
Col. Dewitt very kindly, and without regard to
trouble and expense, drew the water fom the
canal, and every part'of the canal was examined
thoroughly, every inch of ground raked over

Every known theory has thus far failed on
being followed up and Investigated.

Lewiston g. Augusta Railroad.

The line OF the proposed Lewiston & Augusta
Railroad, just surveyed, leads from Lewiston
through the towns of Webster, Wales, Litchheld,
Monmouth West Gardiner. Farmingdalc and Hal
lowell, to Augusta, distance ofabout thirty miles
The road will cross two rivers, the Sebattis and
Cobbosseecontec, requiring one bridge 6o feet,
and another 100 feet in length. Several culverts
and short bridges will have to be built over small
streams and gullies. From the farm of Mr.. Saml
Curicr in Haowell, to this city, there il fall OF
two hundred and ten feet. 1t will require deep
cut to bring this part of the road down to the
grade on which the line started.
We hear the idea suggested of making second
survey, extending from Lewiston to Oak Hill, IN
Wales on the present line, and then running cast
instead of the west side Of the hill, tapping the
Maine Central at Gardiner. But this will not &C
commodate several important manufacturing cstab-
lishments ard will be out Of the way of the gran
ite quarlies 1t is highly important, nevertheless
that the city of Gardiner should be reached by the
lire and the people there will not be satisfied with
ANYTHING but direct connection.

SATURDAY, Oct. 23d
The grand jury came in this morning and re-
ported twenty-fou indictments. The names of
persons against whom they are found are for the
present to be kept secret, for reasons Of public
justice. 1t is understood that the trial of the
criminal docket will be entered upon on Monday,
and will probably occupy most of the week.
A divorce case was heard by the judge, where
both parties desire a separation. No very serious
charges are preferred by either party, only gen.
cral misery in each others society, and inabli to
live together in peace. A small estate Of some
ten or twelve hundred dollars owned by the hus-
band, which the Judge will be called upon to divide
between the unhappy contestants, is probably the
real cause OF public trial. Decision reserved.
