Road added to his duties. AS the land offices
of the Grand Trunk and Great Western roads
in Chicago will be consolidated on August
18th, the question as to who will be the new
agent has arisen. 1t is generally understood
that Mr.. j. FL. Whitmore, of the Grand Trunk,
will retire, and that Mr. J. Ell. Porter, of the
Great Western, will be the man.

r,,a Co11ins Granite Conpanv.

The Mining journal says:-'We visited the
works of the Collins Granite Company at East
Blue Hill yesterday, and find very active and
prosperous state Of things at the present time.
They are now at work on contracts for cut
granite for the New York Produce Exchange,
Commonwealth Bank of Harrisburg, public
buildings in Philadelphia and cemetery work
for the west They have now employed about
300 men and could work so more cutters adj
vantageously, if they could get them.
The present company have operated here
quite extensively for the last seven years, dur
ing which time flourishing village has sprung
up and the prices of lands in the yibinity have
very much increased in value. At their quar-
ry which is now being worked the most extern
siyely, steam hoisting works have recently
been put in, and the same power operates the
Ingersol Drill, which will cut from to feet
per hour and with which they are much pleas
ed A recent blast in the quarry threw out
two huge masses of solid granite the weight CT
which estimated by measure, was 266 TONS at
the quarry G. A. Barrett is Foreman. Some OF
the stones required weigh ten tons each,
but with their present facilities are easily
handled.
Near their wharf and cutting sheds they have
recently completed large building for polish
ing, which, fully equipped for business cost
$4,000 There will be polished this season 81
columns Il feet in length and 2 feet in diameter,
a number of othsr stones % feet long by 2 feet
inches square and many other blocks OF SINH
lar dimensions. Some pieces OF granite IN
their contracts containing only from to y
cubic feet, but being done in elaborate carved
work, will cost from 500 to SIPS each to cut.
The quality of the granite for all uses requlr-
ing purity, durability, and beauty is well
known in all our largo Giles, where numerous
contracts have been filled. Christopher Bind
er is the Superintendent at these works, and
,vitf, me present facilities of the company for
filling all orders with economy and despatch,
we see no reason why brilliant business pros
perity may not be in store for them in the fu.
ture."
The company within the past year have I'm
ished the following contracts, which are con-
sidered among the finest granite jobs in this
country: heapproacnes New York andiBrook-
lyn bridge, United States Barge office, New
York United States Custom House and Post
Office. Chicago The granite for the United
States Post Office at Toledo, Ohio has just been
ordered from them and work will commence
on this last job early next month. The CON-
pany is composed OF well known Portland men
and is managed by Eben Corey, Chas j. Chap

The Army Worm in Kennsbec County

The Army Worm in Kennebec County.
Within the last two days the army worm has
appeared upon the Insane Hospital farm at
Augusta, surrounded six-acre field of barley,
and have cut from one-half to two-thirds of
the heads of grain from the whole piece, and
are still vigorously prosecuting their work of
destruction, not even paying due respect to the
Sabbath day of rest. They appear to be
moving in northwesterly direction. Where
they came from is q mystery, as the first seen
of them was on Saturday, and then in small
numbers. There is another piece OF barley
five acres-within forty rods of where the
worms are working, but none have appeared
upon it as yet The ground in and around the
grain first mentioned is completely covered
with the worms. Have they been doing dam
age in other sections?

Indenendent Conference.

independent conference
1t is reported that the adjourned meeting OF
the Independents, SO called, met at one OF the
parlors of the Preble House yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock The names of several well
known gentlemen were mentioned as having
been present and in order to test the truth OF
the statement reporter for the PRESS called
on each Of them. Every man denied the truth
of the report.
Hon. William w. Thomas said he was not
at the meeting, neither should he be in favor
of such a movement nov, at least. He didn
think it could be called the year for such
movement While Mr.. Thomas thought there
were q great many admirable features that had
been mentioned in connection with an In
dependent stand, he thought the Boston Ad-
vertiser had stated the situation very clearly.
Mr. Thomas thought when, if ever, he ala
take part in an independent movement IL
would be one to make itself felt
Ex-United States Marshal B. B. Murray was
not registered at any of the hotels as far as as
certained, although his name was men
toned, and he was probably not in the city.
Ex-Marshal Marble was not in the city
yesterday, and it is not believed he is in the
movement.
Ex-Sheriff T. N. Perry denied his presence
on the occasion.
j. NJ. Stone Of Kennebunk, may have been
present He was in town and has been
named as sympathizer. Mr.. Stone is can
didate for Congress on the Eustis temperance
ticket
Mr.. L. B. Chapman may have been present
He stated frankly to the reporter last Friday
that the meeting announced for that day adj
journed till Monday in order to hear from GER
tain gentlemen, and therefore it is probable he
was at the meeting yesterday.
The prevalent opinion among those who
have been quoted as in sympathy with an In
dependent movement, comedies with that ex-
pressed by Mr.. Thomas, and also that it will
not this year at least, receive any encourage
ment to speak of. These gentlemen are all
men of character and would scorn to say they
were not participants in such movement if
thew were

TAka SAha,0O.

The item in Mondays PRESS, stating the
main belt on the engine at Lake Sebago broke
and the Portland water supply was shut off, SO
that in case of large fire it would have been
difficult to fight the flames successfully,was en-
tirely incorrect, and would not have been pub
lished If we had given it better attention. The
engine was shut down for the purpose OF lacing
the main belt, which will, after weeks OF rum
ming, get loose, and must be shortened, as was
the case Saturday night, and will occur again
soon. If a large fire had occurred at that
time, there was water in the reservoir on Branl-
hall Hill, sufficient to supply Portland for do
mestic use, and, in addition, supply each of the
steam fire engines in Portland with two streams
each of 200 gallons each per minute, conrinu-
GUS playing for "a hours. The time required
to properly lace the belt is one hour.

Eatal Accidanr at WILTON.

Friday morning about 9 o'clock, Mr.. Robert
Potter started for his land near the corn
factory, at Wilton, in a blackboard with two
axles, TO fix fence. He drove into David
Thompson's yard, and after Mrs. Thompson
had got into the carriage, for some unknown
cause the horse turned and tipped the carriage
entirely over, passing over Mrs. Thompson
withouts injuring her much, but Mr.. Potter
struck upon the back of his head and neck, and
being heavy man, his spine was so badly in
jured that his whole body was wholly
paraIyzed. Drs Blake and Adams were i'm
mediately summoned, and Dr. Garcelon was
tele graphed for, who arrived on the afternoon
train, but nothing could be done for him, and
he died at O'Clock Saturday morning. He
