Sewing
Machine.

III Is an acknowledged TACT that the
White Sewing Machine now stands pre-
eminent among tirst-class machines, for
it's simplicity and. light-running qualities.
1t is q mechanical fact that the White
Sewing Machine is made from the best
material and of excellent workmanship,
and all its wearing parts are adjustable,
SO that lost motion can be "taken up' in
an instant.
1t is an undisputed fact that the dura-
bility Of the White Sewing Machine is
sustained by written warranty for five
years.
1t is progressive fact that the White
embOdes the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing machines,
together with advantages peculiarly it's
own.
IL is q money-making fact that the
White is the easiest-selling selling ma
chine in the market, and therefore all
wide-awake dealers make it their speciality
1t is gratifying fact that the White
gives universal satisfaction, and that it il

Another Alleged Miracle.

The Bath Independent says that Mrs. Ellen
S. Dunnell, supposed to be in the last stages Of
consumption, has just been cured, as she be-
lieves, by prayer. She was first taken sick last
Christmas, but got better and became able to
walk about the house. In February, however,
she was again taken sick, and compelled to
take to her bed. A physician was called, and
pronounced it a case of general debility, which
might drift into quick consumption She grew
rapidly worse, and became unable to feed her.
self. One week ago last Wednesday night,
Miss Donnell determined upon trying the eff
cacy of prayer. Being herself devout Chris
tian, she had all the faith, but, as she told the
reporter, never had prayed with such earnest
ness as she did that night. In the morning, at
o'clock, her prayer, that she might be made
sound of body and in good health, seemed
granted. for she appeared to be and felt her.
self perfectly we'll. So she informed her at
tendant, and arising from her bed Jon which,
a day before, she was unable to feed herself,
she dressed herself, and an hour later ate
breakfast with the family. Upon the follow
ing Sunday she attended church three lines,
and since has made many calls upon her
friends.

Our Railroad Interests.


Judge Growers interesting paper, published
in Saturdays PRESS, suggests work on the
part of the Grand Trunk Railway of very
great importance, and which Mr.. Bradstreet's
railroad line may ultimately become part of.
Point St. Charles the freight station of the
Grand Trunk in Montreal, is 294 miles from
Portland. Reduce this distance to $50 miles,
and the Grand Trunk will have an advantage
over every other railroad from the navigable
waters of the West to the sea, that cannot be
supplied now, or here after, by any other rail-
road or system of railroads. This shortening
of the line between Montreal and Portland is
not only possible but would be neither difficult
nor expensive. Nothing is more certain than
that such saving of distance on a route so
important as this will and must be effected.
1t is no question of expediency. 1t is ques-
ton of necessity. The shortest outlet to the
sea from Canada, Chicago and the West, from
st. Paul, Minneapolis, Winnipeg and the
whole Northwest will be found.
A cutoff from Portland to West Bethel re-
duces the distance between these places some
fifteen miles. Another from Island Pond,
south of Lake Memphramago, to Montreal,
largely over railroads already constructed,
sh ortens the line between Island Pond and
M ontreal more than thirty miles,
This abridgement of distance once effected
and the Grand Trunk defes competition. pres

HON. T. B. REED.
His Views About an Extra Session.

Hon Thomas B. Reed arrived home at ID.
m. Saturday and is in excellent health. On
his way through Boston he was interviewed by
Traveller reporter as to the prospects of an
extra session, as fellows:

K.-You do not think there is anything to be
gained by passing an early apportionment bill,
or IN the way OF organizing Congress?
MI Reed-l think not II has not been Gus
tomary to make the new apportionment before
the December session of the year following the
census, and the only incentive to making the
apportlonment early this year was the fact
thats so many State Legislatures were actually
IN session, and the House did pass an appor-
tlonment bill which was apparently generally
satisfactory, but the Senate opposed it, and it
failed. Now the Legislatures have adjourned,
and there would be no special advantage in
making an apportionment at an early session.
If we have one at all, funding will be the
cause.

An Auburn Man Shot in St. Louis,


A despatch to the Associated Press Thursday
contained an account Of the shooting of Albert
Hatch by Michael J. Kelley in St. Louis.
Reilly had seduced Hatchs wife and Hatch
threatened to shoot him. They met by acct
dent when Reilly, in self defence he says, shot
Hatch dead. About thirteen years ago Hatch
lived in Aburn. He deserted his wife and
went West. While in Auburn he had two
children, a girl, and a boy about two years
younger, the latter blind from within three
weeks of birth. Hatch took the girl away
from the mother, and left her the blind boy,
who was afterwards educated in the Perkins
Institute, Sonth Boston, and is now living with
his mother, Mrs Abby P. Knowles, in Wilton,
Me. Their circumstances are poor. The
daughter, who must now bel20 or % years of
age, is married to Samuel Miller, of $40 South
Adams street, Peoria, Ill, who is a railroad
man. The present Mrs. Hatch was first mar
ried to David Landers in Auburn, and he was
a fine man. They were both married and had
one child, a boy, who was accidentally drowned
Mrs. Landers, or the present Mrs. Hatch, left
Auburn few days before Hatch did and the
next heard Of them together was in Chicago a
short time after.

Ocean Traffic.

The Beaver line steamer Lake Winnipeg
sailed from Liverpool on the 10Th inst. for this
port.
The Beaver line sailing ship Lake Erie, from
this port, arrived at Glasgow ON Thursday, the
10th inst.
The Beaver line steamer Lake Champlain
sailed from Glasgow for this port on the 10th
inst.
Steamer Ontario of the Dominion line sailed
for Liverpool Saturday morning. She took a
cargo valued at $21S,121, including 1856
bushels of wheat, $1,000 pounds of pork, 2l2,-
900 pounds of bacon, sos, 800 pounds of cheese,
131, 400 pounds of lard, 222 sheep, 239 cattle
and 92S quarters of fresh beef.
The work of raising the steamship Ottawa
of the Dominion line, at Montreal, to some ex-
tent is checked for the present, owing to the
impossibili4y of getting pumps OH board from
the shore, the ice being too thin to bear their
weight. An attempt was made to cut chan
mel, but it closed up almost as soon as cut.
There are about three hundred yards of clear
water all round the vessel, and she is lying al
most upright. The operation of stripping her
has been completed. Should she not be re-
moved from her present position before the
ice breaks up, there seems no doubt but that
she will be completely cut to pieces, as tre-
mendous current exists there, and the natives
say the ice piles up in huge masses

Fryeburg

MR.. EDrToR:-I observe in your gleanings
from the report of Fryeburg, that one would
be likely to get wrong impression as to the
expenses of the town. The town refunded
$4,000 of the P. & o. railroad bonds at five
per cent. last year, and voted money sufficient
to pay the balance, $1,000. Our annual ex-
penses are less than $4,000. The valuation as
now fixed by the State is $4,000, SO that our
rate of taxation on fair cash valuation of the
town will not exceed one per cent. The valu-
alton stated in the report $671, 159, is on frac
tional basis and is not full value. The town
has debt now of $4,000, which is provided
for by an annual assessment of a sinking fund
SO as to extinguish it in about 10 years. So
you will see that we extend to those who would
like home in one of the most beautiful
and healthful towns in New England an invi-
tation with an exhibit that would not burden
them with taxation. CITIZEN.
