MAINE DISPATCHES.
wATERvILLE CREAMERY.
Meeting OF the Canvassing Committee
Special TO the Kennebec journal. I

Special TO the Kennebec Journal
WATERvILLE, Feb. IL.
The success of Wateryille's creamery il
now almost assured. A large number OF
farmers in the surrounding towns are thor.
onghly interested In the movement and are
making every effort possible TO secure the
cooperation of their neighbors in this under
taking Quite number Of the canvassing
committee assembled at the Office of Haines
e. Wright, Saturday afternoon. Nearly POO
cows were reported by four members of the
committee and the others predicted that with
further time they could secure good lists
from their localities. The farmers n ho as
scmbled held general discussion of the
creamery and of various matters which pertain
to its successful management. One farmer
was selling all the butter he could make ut
it would be profitable for him to put his cow
into the creamery. Another was of the same
opinon,wh was selling cream At thirty cents
"a pound. The theory was advanced by one
use in the creamery than ice. Butter is very
liable to become tainted. By the use of
the Cooley creamery, this disadvant-
age which is characteristic of the old method,
is easily averted.
The building which Mr. Bradford proposes
to put up will cost from 81 400 to 81, 800 and
when fully equipped with machinery, ready
for operation, will cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. Mr.. Bradford contemplated going
to Pennington to start factory, but finally
decided on this city as being the most cen
trally located and having the most favorable
outlook for factory. His reasons for leav-
ing Turner are that he wanted to enter the
business ON a larger scale than Turner farm
ers cared to. Additional reasons were that
the location at Turner was not one favorable
to an extensive business of this kind, owing
to the poor railway and telegraphic connec-
tions.
Mr.. Turner has been remarkably success
ful in his management of the Turner factory
as is well known. As an example of the
prOHtaDlencSS OF creancrlcs to farmers, 1t
was stated that Mr.. Bradford paid last year a
farmer in Turner, having II cows, $50 for
one months cream. Other months he receiv-
ed less than this Four members of the COM
mittec reported POO cows 1t is stated that
Joseph Pearson has about 800 more which
have not been yet reported The farmers as
a general thing, want time to think the matter
over before signing for any number of cows.
Many who put down four or six now,
will double the number in the course of a
year. Sevcra: farmers in the vicinity of Clin-
ton are holding back, thinking that there will
be factory at that place. 1t is thought how
ever, by persons who are in a position to I'M
derstand the matter that even if a creamery
were started that it would not be a success in
Clinton, ON account of the small territory
from which cows could be obtained, if Wat
erville had creamery. 1t is thought on the
whole that August or September will see one
of the largest and best creameries in the
State in successful operation in Waterville.

THE WORLDS RECORD BEATEN.
Albert Makes 62l Miles in the Presence
OF $4,000 People
New YORK. Feb. IL,

New YORK, Feb. IL.
The great six day go-as-you-please walk
ing match has been finished. When Albert
stopped at 1901 tonight at the Madison
Square Garden he had covered within the
given l42 hours, 62l miles and 1920 yards.
He tied A Alderman Fitzgerald's record of 6l0
miles at exactly 123.5S l-2, one hour and 40
minutes ahead of the Long Island mans
time During Alberts last mile he ran like
deer and the cheers from the assembled
multitude made the roof of the big building
shake. The scene was one of wild enthu-
sasm and there was no effort to restrain the
feelings of the 1000 people.
The following is the final score Albert,
62l miles, ! laps; Herty, 5s2; Guerrero.
564; Hart, 546 Golden, 53s; Moore, 531 :;
Strokel, 526; Noremac 525; Dillon, 504 ;
Sullivan, 1888; Taylor, 35s; Tilly, 500 ;
Stout, 207. Ten minutes after the race was
finished the garden was cleared of spectators.
The scorers then retire and the place was left
to the reporters and those officially interested.
The affair ended without any outbreak of
rowdyism. Frozen Bill Carney, Albert's
trainer, got up formal reception in front of
the hut, in which he said that he had just
received congratulatory kilograms from
Rowell, Littlewood and other prominent
pedestrians. Albert was called upon to make
a speech. He mounted chair and spoke as
follows:
Ladies and gentlemen have been rum
ming so much lately that | have no wind to
talk with. went into this race to do my
best to win, and have succeeded | have
no fault to find with any body" He then bid
all good night. Mrs. Albert stood along
side her husband while he made his little
speech. She looked on her liege lord with
pride. Her eyes danced with delight and
she could not conceal her emotion. Tears
of joy swelled her eyes. Three rousing
cheers were given for Albert, and then three
more for Frozen" Bill and then Mr.. and
Mrs. Albert went to their hotel across the
street.
A rough estimate of the gate moneys to be
received by the men who had covered 525
miles and over is as follows: Albert, 81 800;
lIerty, $1,000; Guerrero, $1,000 Hart,
$3.50; Golden, S720; Moore, $3.50; Strokel,
$500 and Noremac, S240--in all Sll $50.

Fire broke out at half past two this morn
ing in large double story boarding house

Clark Street. kept by Mrs. Coombes, causing
the most intense excitement. Several per-

brought to final settlement.
The bill of Congressman McAdoo, of New
Jersey, practically prohibiting the Menhaien
fishing within three miles of the shore line
will probably be beaten in the committee.
The New England and New Jersey fisher
man, headed by Captain Clineh of Tiverton,
Il. |. and Captain Babson of Gloucester have
fought the bill vigorously from first TO last
and their arguments have evidently carried
the committee. There will be one more
hearing on the subject next "Wednesday. 1t
looks now as if unless something unusual
happens the report of the committee would
be adverse.
There will be held in Washington on
March %, a notable gathering of women.
They will assemble under the auspices of
the National Woman's Suffrage association.
and the convention in which they will partic-
ipate will be known as the Information Coun-
ell of Women. The occasion will mark the
fortieth anniversary of the suffrage move
ment. There will be present at this interna-
tional council, representatives from Fraude,
Germany Denmark, England and Finland.
Ii is expected that among the half dozen
from Great Britain, Helen Taylor, the step
daughter of John Stuart Mill, will be pres
ent. The two hundred from the United
States will include all of those whose names
are familiarly associated with woman's work.
Mrs. Frank Leslie of New York, who has
never before identified herself with any
woman's association, has written to Miss Su-
san b. Anthony expressing her cordial SYM
pathy with the coming convention, and de-
elaring her purpose to read a paper upon
that occasion. She also forwarded check
for $50, To be used as the ladies having the
matter in charge may elect. The convention
will last week. Ii will be held in Albaughs
Opera house, which the ladies have rented
expressly for the occasion. Papers relating
To the different lines of work with which
women are connected-sueh, for example, as
suffrage. temperance, education, kindergar-
ten and kindred subjects--will be read on
days especially assigned for that purpose.
On the last day pioneers meeting will be
held, in which Miss Anthony, Mrs. Stone,
Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Gage. Mrs. Lozier, Fred
Douglass and other pioneers in the woman's
cause will participate.

PoTTsvlILE, Pa, Feb. IL.
Many strikers will desert the ranks of the
strikers tomorrow Brookside will probably
start full handed for the first time since the
strike. A knight of Labor at the mine in
fremont said that he and many other mem
bers of the order would return to work to-
morrow. He declared that the organization
in that section was practically broken up as
the result of the strike. At Donaldson, near
fremont and at Minersville on Saturday eve
ming "calsthumpian" was again imposed
upon men returning from work at Brookside
aud Otto Galleries, the participants being
largely women. The guard of iron and coal
police prevented any attempt at actual vio-
lence and have now very strong force of
coal aud iron police. The work at the Shen-
anioah aud various other coIieries will start
up in the morning. provided considerable
number of miners turn out to go to work.
