Mrs. Abigail Andrus died at her home
February %. She had been in poor
health for Il long time past, suffering
greatly at times from aSthmatic trouble.
For several days before her death she
was in great pain, which could only be
relieved by opiates, but at the last she
seemed to sink to sleep. She was SO
years old February Is. Her funeral was
held at her house the Sabbath following
her death, Rev. Ahira Jones conducting
the exercises. Mrs. Andrus was not Il
member of any church. but her life, as
we knew it, was one worthy of example.
She was a worthy help-meet, kind,
patient mother of a family of five chill
dren, an obliging neighbor, attending to
her own affairs, not mixing with petty
disturbances, but always pouring oil on
troubled waters. We think. as we are
are taught that everyone shall be judg-
ed according to his works. her reward
will be that of the righteous. She
leaves four children-one son ard A
daughter here, a daughter, her oldest
child, in very poor health, in Muskegon,
Mich, and one in Chicago, H., to whom
the notice of her death will be sad It'd
ngs. She has an aged sister in Benson,
and brother in Albany, who was un-
able to be present on account of illness.
Thus our ancient landmarks pass away,
younger people fill their places and all
things change, but in the hearts of old
neighbors and friends the memory will
long be green of Grandma Andrus.'

Tn. Cos. Marine Iron WORK.

An adjourned meeting of the stockholders
of the Goss Marine Iron Works was held at
Bath Monday evening. The auditing COM
mi,tee reported as follows:
The accounts have been well and correctly
kept, with vouchers for all expenditures.
The work Of the shops the first year, as in
almost every new enterprise, involved some
errors and mistakes, but nothing has been
found to reflect upon the uprightness and
honest intent of any officer of the corpora
ton. Considering the circumstances under
which the works were started, the enterprise
is in better condition than ordinarily we
should have a right to expect. Your COM
mittee are convinced that the true interests
of the corporation require that the manage
ment of its affairs should remain in the
hands of the present board of directors who
have done so much for il, and who know so
well its needs and requirements.
The report was accepted.
Mr.. Moses said that the committee had
found the books of the concern all In good
shape as were the vouchers.
President Goss said:
You all know that the works have labored
under q great disadvantage, owing to not
having suucteut capithi. ksedt ueai VI

the manner the business has been carried on.
For the past six years there have been six
teen steamers built in Bath, valued al
81, 500, 600. For machinery, s3l4,O0O have
been paid to out of town parties. II seems
that this amount should be kept here. There
is good demand for steamers, and | think
there Is good future for the works. The
engines and boilers we built for the steamer
Al-Ki were grand success. and put $4,000
on the value OF our property.
The Board Of Directors were then elected
as follows:
Guy q. Goss. Arthur Sewall, Charles E.
Moody, Charles Davenport, Thomas W.
Hyde, Benz. 4. Packard, John X. Kelley.

discovered and invented by Charles Holland
Of New York. Referring to the operation oi
the &c. Holland water-gas burning lOcomo-
tive, Hon. Samuel Babcock, President of
the H. & C. ". X. Il. Co. says ''it has
generated 100 lbs. of steam from cold vateE
in AZ minutes. The trial as to cost Of fuel
is a conts per mile against 81 cents with
coal. and regard its performance as extra
ordinary" The Supt. of Grant Locomotive
Works, Mr.. Evans says, "the FIRE, beyond
question, is the hottest and cheapest that
can be made under a steam boiler" IL is
only within few months that this great
invention has been perfected. A company
of some of the most substantial and thor
oughly practical men in all New England
after having at great care satisfied them
selves of the substantial merits of this sys-
TEN, have purchased the patents and i Is
now, for the first time, offered to the New

utilization of water-gas as fuel bespeaks an
age of progress.
