A NARROW ESCAPE.
A Six Horse Loaded Team Falls Through
a Bridge at Great Falls.

Saturday afternoon MI. Willard Lowe
started from this city with six horse team
loaded with molasses, flour and other provis-
ions for Mr. Frank H. Body of Windham, the
load weighing some three TONS Mr.. Lowe ex,
perienced no difficulty until he reached the
wooden bridge at Great Falls, which spans the
Presumpscot river between Windham and Cor
ham. He drove upon the bridge at this point
as he had previously done innumerable times
but had not gone far upon it when he was
startled by crash and the hind part of his
team settled and went down.
The four leading horses belonged to Mr..
Body, and once before they had broken
through bridge. Consequently when they
heard the crash they sprang quickly forward,
breaking away from the pole hors s, and rar
across the bridge escaping unhurt The pole
horses, however, owned by Messrs. W. & G. r.
Milliken, of the Glen House, were not
50 fortunate, for they in some manner doubled
under the cart, and as they crashed through
the broken timbers one of them was pierced
in the side by an iron rod and so badly injured
that il soon died, while the other was struck
and killed instantly. By a miracle, almost,
Mr. Lowe, the driver, remained upon his seat
and escaped uninjured. The team was con-
siderably used up, but the goods comprising
the load were not much damaged.
The distance from the bridge to the water
where the team went down through is some
fifteen feet, and the water is shoal, so that il
is wonderful the damage done was not greater
The horses killed were large, noble looking
animals and must have been worth at least
$50 each.
The horse of Deputy Sheriff Walker broke
into culvert near the same bridge. and broke
his fore shoulder

Business Notes.

George Weston sawed at the mill of Messrs.
Stockwell, Adams & Co. of Orono, 900
shingles in five and one-half days, on two ma
chimes.
If the Lewiston lumber mills had more or
ders they could not fill them. Ten cars day
are being shipped from the Bates street station
and very often special lumber train is start
ed The local demand for lumber is greater
now than it has been for years at this season.
Mr.. Campbell, proprietor of the wooden fac
tory at Sangerville, informs the Dexter Ga
zette that he is running his looms till o'clock
every night. Business is lively with him. He
has three sets of machinery and employs some
45 hands.
G. & w. I. Shaw of the New Limerick tan

Col. I. s. Bangs and Hon. Nathaniel Mead
er of Waterville have sold their Nudd proper
ty opposite Bangs mill to the Lockwood Co.
The reported price is from $4,000 to $4,000.
There has been considerable talk this fall of
another cotton mill being built there next
spring. The proposed mill will have 6S, 900
spindles, or about twice the size of the present
Lockwood mills.

Hon. Joshua Nye, who recently visited the
State Prison, relates the following: "The
warden told of a young woman who served out
a sentence of five years, and while there found
means of education, and becoming thoroughly
reforme d and Christian, left the prison in
appearance lady. She was employed by
dry goods firm in Portland as a saleswoman,
and gave the most perfect satisfaction to her
employers for some time, till one day wealthy
lady of the place entered the store and recog-
nized her. Calling the proprietor aside, she
asked him if he knew who he had in his store,
telling him that such girl was graduate of
the State Prison. He replied that he knew it,
but that she had done her duty faithfully and
that they were we'll satisfied with her. Well
said the lady, if you keep her in your store, L
will neither trade with you myself nor suffer
any of my friends to, if 1 can help it, So the
proprietor, rather than lose his customer, called
in the poor girl and discharged her. He had
heard fron her since that she still maintained
q course of conduct above reproach, being en-
ployed in one of the mills in Lowell, Mass"

The PostmasterShip

Mr.. ED1roR:-A communication in the
PRESS signed "Many Republicans, names
three gentlemen, either of whom would make
a good Postmaster. Without Disagreement
to two of the gentlemen named, would sug-
gest that the appointment of Augustus f. Ger
IRISH would give great satisfaction to the whole
community. All who know him will ac-
knowledge that he possesses the Jeffersonian
test-honesty, capability and faithfuness, and
in addition to these requisites he has done as
much for the success of the Republican party,
to say the least, as any person in the city, since
its organization, and that without making any
parade about it, or seeking to put himself into
prominence. Mr.. Gerrish, while being an ar
dent Republican, has not made himself OBJ
noxious to any in his own party, nor to his OPP
ponents. His appointment would harmonic
all sections of the Republican party. Mr.:
Gerrish never has been an office seeker and
has no broken down party hacks as retaners
Should he be appointed, he will have no
friends to reward, or enemies to punish, but
the office would doubtless be conducted on
strictly business principles without regard to
party predictions.
