BANcoR'S RAILROAD.
Citizens Meet to Discuss the Advisa-
biIity of Selling.

BANGOR. Oct. pa meeting of citizens
was held tonight under the call of the city
government to hear and consider the propo
sitions for the sale of the Bangor & Piscata-
quis Railroad made by the Castine & Bangor
Railroad Company, and by Frank Jones'
Mayor Bragg presided and briefly reviewed
the history of the Piscataquis road and Ban
gor's connection and interest therein, its
present financial condition and probable fu-
ture prospects. President Neatly was the
next speaker and presented more detailed
account of the road. He showed the annual
increase in business and net earnings and
the large business which had been built up
by the road with its fiattering prospects for
the future and opposed the sale of the road.
He did not think Mr.. Jones's proposition
gave Bangor an assurance of protection to
her commercial interests or necessary as
surances that she would receive the benefits
to which she is entitled ander its connection
w. Paine told of the establishment of great
line of communication to the West and East
by the building of the Canadian Pacific and
that between it and the Maine Central the
value of the Piscataquis Railroad was great
" reduced G. A. Bailey, ESQ.,, then spoke
in behalf Of the proposition of the Castlne
Il Bangor Railroad Company, arguing that
through it Bangor would have competing
lines, there being an open port at Castine all
the year round through which to receive and
deliver goods. The Bangor & Castine Com
psny was prepared to show their ability to
carry out the proposition in assurances that
the city government would accept when their
ability was shown.
Hon. j. S. Wheelwright offered resolu-
tion that the whole matter be referred to a
committee of citizens whose names were
given to act in conjunction with the commit
tee of the city government, carefully exam
inc the matter in all its details and report at
future meeting.
Col. j. w. Porter moved a resolution as a
substitute, making joint committee from
the board of aldermen, the common council,
the Bangor & Plscataquis Railroad Company
and citizens.
On these resolutions discussion followed.
and Hon. G. W. Ladd moved the whole mat
ter be laid on the table which was carried
unanimously and the meeting adjourned
without day.

Sunday night and the early hours Of Mon
day, was the second anniversary Of the great
fire that swept away such large portion Of
Pennington. Monday evening the citizens
commemorated the event by appropriate SER
vices at the elegant new Old South Church
on the site where two years previous had
been only blaekened ruins.
The meeting Of Monday evening was held
under the auspices Of the WOman's Christian
Temperance Union, and was presided over
by Mrs. Helen b. Coffin beedy, franklin
County Vice President Of the Maine State
Union. After praise service, and prayer
had been offered by Dea. j. T.. Thwing, the
Hon. Francis G.. Butler, the noted historian
Of Pennington, spoke upon the subject,
"FarmngtOn as Ii was" dwelling partieu-
larly upon the early settlement Of the town
and developing many strikingly interesting
historical points.
Rev. Francis S. Thacher followed, and
dealt with the moral advance made by the
town, and gave Farmington a most fayora::
BILE showing in that regard. The topic Of
"Farmlngton as 1t Is, was opened by Judge
David FL. Chandler, who showed by incOn-
trovertibe evidence the high standing Of the
town, morally, socially, and educationally.
From the records Of his court the Judge DEM
onstrated the thoroughness with which law
Is enforced and the desirability OF the town
as place Of residence
Hon. Joseph w. Fairbanks was the next
speaker. Mr.. Fairbanks gave the history
and cost Of the rebuilding OF the town, count
ing up an expenditure Of nearly $4,000 In
new and beautiful residences, public build
ings and business blocks. A practical busi-
ness man, Mr.. Fairbanks took a business
view of the situation. Farming as Ii is to
be- was the subject assigned to Maj. Edward
l. Merrill, who treated it in q manner that
deeply pleased and interested his hearers.
Rev. Wilbur +. Berry closed the meeting
with an earnest appeal for higher Christian
life for the town. A poem by Miss Julia III.
May, breathed her love for the town which
was her early home and her rejoicing in its
Identification and rebuilding. So tender and
affecting were the verses that there were
few dry eyes in the audience at the concur
sion OF its reading.
A beautiful lunch OF coffee and sandwiches
was then served after which the ludicrous
side of the fire was then told and many
laughable Incidents were related by Mt.
Richards, Mrs. RUSSELL Mrs. Fairbanks, Mrs.
Beedy, Mrs. Tarbox. Mrs. Butler and others.
Vocal and instrumental music was furnished
BY Mrs. Gooden0w, Miss Elwell and Mrs.
McCleery. The exercises closed with de-
scriptlon OF the fire and story Of It's progress,
by |. Warren Merrill, Esq, which was
most faithful word painting OF the events OF
that never TO be forgotten night.
