YORK COUNTY.
The Biddeford Journal says that the York
Beach railroad is being agitated again. and
gives the opinion that it is but a question OF
time when the entire York county shore, in
cludng Scarboro and Cape Elizabeth in Cum

road.
The storehouse of r. S. Webster & Bros,
lumber dealers of North Limington, was
burned to the ground, together with its con-

is $4,000; insured for $1,000. The building
was full of shook, holdings, slaves and fish
barrels.

city improvements.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
The writers who for one, approves of the
destruction and removal of the old State
House, for another, who approves OF the de-
struction and removal of the churches on the
Green, and another set who approve of an
other park at the west end, and another who
approve of the purchase Of the Insurance
building for Mayors Office. city sheriff city
auditor, etc., ETC., ETC., fall far short of re-
vealing the whole plan, the which may as
well be unveiled and done away with at once.
1. Clear every building off the Green and
done with it-State House and churches
all.
2. Purchase, yes, purchase all the property
''by condemnation for public uses" easterly
down to Wooster Square and clear it all off
so that the Green shall be united with Woos-
ter Square, and thereby make one grand
boulevard space, the like of which can only
be found in the city of Paris.
3. Purchase at auction under the most
favorable circumstances-whicht the Superior
court, Providence and B. Noyes have sup
plied-the Insurance building-which is
large enough for all uses of City Hall with
office, city sheriff, auditor. Aldermen and
Council rooms, and, above all, a tax collec-
tors Office, with an elevator already in place
and running, to carry up old men and women
to pay taxes and assessments.
4. AS to the county court houses, which
would be bought and torn down, that is of
no account. for everybody is sick of courts
and judges and lawyers who are SO long in de-
termining what mems rights are, and cost so
much ready cash that the new system OF
boycotting takes their places; and every man
who won't sell out his house to make way
for these improvements will be so boycotted
that no merchant can sell him goods or church
rent him pew.
8. These things being done there comes
the plan for horse railroad upon East
Rock by the new east road being built by
Ex-Governor English, and also via Whitney
avenue to the roadway built by the late Hen
ry Farnam, so that trains each way shall
run free every Saturday for the exclusive
benefit of such and their families as can
show a ticket of membership to the Knights
or unions of labor.
g. That it is of no consequence what these
things cost, for the grand list shows that the
city is full of men who are rated at all the
way from hundreds of thousands to millions
of dollars, and if they squirm at their tax
bills we will boycott them with every mer-
chant and shut pan on their dinners and
family supplies and we will serve every
newspaper the same way which ventures to
oppose our plans in this land of freedom.
Perhaps you don't understand it. City
bonds will sell at 3 per cent. interest, and
the tearing down of all these buildings in the
new plot will give labor work. So will the
building of the hundreds of houses elsewhere
to accommodate those who are unhoused, and
labor will reap great harvest; and there are
lots enough to accommodate all
who shall need new places. PROGRESS.

Washington Dispatch to the Indianapolis Journal I
''Senator Beck went fishing the other day" F"
said one of his colleagues this morning, 'tand
he did the most stupid thing ever heard of.
He started out early in the morning for the
Upper Potomac. The favorite bait of these
high bred fishermen is a frog. Frogs are
procured day in advance by boys in the vi
cinity where the fishing is to be done. Beck
does not seem TO care very much when he
goes fishing whether he catches anything or
not if he has number of jolly companions
with him. Soon after he arrived at his des-
tination for fishing he set his pole, run out

Professor Webster Willis of the Boston In
stitute of Technology has invented process
for heating water by revolving metal cylin-
der filed with water inside another, to be
pressed together with more or less force as
may be needed. Thirty-six square inches of
friction surface will, it is claimed, heat a
room of 10, 900 cubic feet better and quicker
than it could be done with steam. Two

The heat will be especially useful where
there is danger of fire.
H G. Hotchkiss of Lyons, New York,
known as the Peppermint King, says that
seven -eighths of the peppermint of the world
is raised in Wayne county, New York. The
average crop is about 100, 900 pounds. Tho
average price paid for crude oil is from 3d.
rs to 81 pound. To give an idea of the
money that is in peppermint, Mr.. Hotch-
kiss said that farmer last year brought to
the refinery an ordinary sleigh load, which,
when measured, proved to be worth $4,000.
OF course, this was the crude oil, which the
farmers distil themselves.
The Dow liquor law passed by the last
Ohio legislature provided In one of it's sec

this move. and a new phase has been put on
the issue by the leading liquor dealers of the

$4,000 for destroying their business and de-
preciating the value of their property. This
case will be very important and interest
