The town of Waterville has arranged with

stated sum for ten years for water for town
purposes, and at the end of that time the
COMPANY will either furnish the water for
such purposes free of cost or give the town

Divers from Port Clyde visited the wreck
of the steamer Cambridge Monday. They
report that on going down they found the hull

The larger part of her machinery was there

The heavy freight of the steamer was entirely
gone. The bottom near where she lies is
very ragged and broken. and in some places
nearly perpendicular.

PIsCATAQUIs.
The aluminium excitement at Monson may
yet result in considerable good to the world,
although the original plan has failed Accord
ing to the Bangor Commercial, Prof Fris-
mouth, who made such large claim a while
ago, did not stand the test of investigation as
Prof. Pearson of the American Aluminium
Co, who went to Philadelphia to learn his
method could accomplish nothing with him.
His trip may be valuable, however, as he
claims that he can himself extract the metal
at low cost and furnaces are to be construct
ed at Lowell, Mass. for experiments. Another
scientist, Prof Cowler, claims that he can
produce for 40 cents pound, whereas all
Prof. Frsmouth claimed was to do it for SO .
pound. SO many learned men are giving
their attention to the subject that it will be
strange if something of importance is not
learned whereby the quarries of Maine will
be rendered more valuable.
YORK.
| About seventy-6ve citizens of Biddeford
met Monday evening to devise some means to
limit the sales of liquor at the liquor agency
in that city which were shown by the agents
report to have been over $4,000 from June
10TH 1885, to Feb. LIST, 1886. A correspon-
dent of one of the city papers who recently
| looked over the sales book of the agency sees
no signs of diminution in this record. as since
Feb. LIST, thirty solid pages, thirty-six names
names to a page, had been filled, one thou
sand and sixty-seven names having been re-
corded this month. One of the speakers who
defended TIL agency said that the liquor con.
sumption in Bath, Lewiston and Portland. per
capita, is in advance of Biddeford, which,
however, if true, may not be full defence.
Another said that there was less drunkenness
in town since the establishment of the agency
and that one wholesale liquor dealer who in
one year sold 81 $50 worth there does not now
visit the city because the trade is not worth
looking after. In regard to the small profits,
one man had compared the figures with those
Of other Maine cities, and thought Biddeford
made as good a showing in that respect as any
of them. One speaker did not think much of
agencies, any way, because, as he said, six or
seven years ago the liquor agent of Portland
offered him commission to sell liquor at
wholesale in Blddeford A committee was
appointed to make further investigations and
report the result.
