BATHS New Iron Works.

The preparation of the foundation for the
buildings of the Bath Shipbulding Co. is
progressing under the direction of Mr..
Coombs. 1t is in contemplation, we believe,
to erect the buildings in block running
east and west on the lot bought of the heirs
of VIM. Rice. having a length of $50 feet and
a uniform width of 60 feet. The machine
shop, which occupies the site of the old saw
mill, has length of 1872 feet, and the
foundations of this building will be completed
at an early day. Then comes the smithy
with length of AZ feet; the boiler shop, -
feet; the foundry, 90 feet; and, last and
nearest the street, the carpenters shop. Sc

THE NEXT LEs:IsLATURE.
One Contested Seat and One New Election
10 he Held.

So far as is known only one seat will be
contested in the next Legislature. Under the
terms of the apportionment of 1871, the towns
of York and Wells were classed together.
1t was enacted that one town should send
the member one year and the other town the
next. The years in which York should send
the member and the years i'll which Wells
should have the honor, were stipulated in the
act in detail. for the decade. In the last
election each town or class nominated and
voted for representative according to
the old aprortionment. In the lork and
Wells class this could not be done. as Inc APP
portinnment act did not state which town
should elect in 1882. Each town, therefore.
voted for representative on its own hook.
In York, John Z. Staples (rep.) had 235
votes. The democrats abstained from voting.
In Wells, Lamont E. Fisher (dem received
1921 votes. The republicans abstained from
voting Each of these gentlemen will prob
ably claim seat. The House will decide
the question York sent the last representa-
tive.
In the Hiram district (Iiiram, Denmark,
