Maine Central Railroad,

The Sunday trains run by the Boston &
Maine and Maine Central railroads the past
summer having proved so popular. it has
been decided to keep them on the year
round. The new proprietors of the Knox &
Lincoln railroad being fully determined to
meet the wishes of their patrons have decid-
ed to run Sunday trains In connection with
those above noted, trips to commence one
week from next Sunday, or October Goth.
Passengers then can leave Rockland at Is
Sunday morning and make connections
through 10 Portland and Boston, Lewiston,
Augusta, Waterville and Bangor, and can
also leave Boston at 9 a. IN. Sunday, and
Portland at 1.15 p. M, and In the forenoon
from other points named above to reach
Rockland at 20 Sunday afternoon.
An order for mileage tickets covering the
line between Bath and Rockland is now in
the hands of printers and as soon as re.
ceived will be placed in use at the rate OF
three cents per mile.
The increased service and reduction in
fare thus afforded certainly warrant and no
doubt will tend to that increase of patron
age which it deserves.
As will be seen by the advertisement, the
Maine Central is not letting the fact that the
summer is over allow the mountain division
to fall into disues.

time ago the couple removed to Roxhury,
where they lived until Mrs. Gowell was com.
PEELED to leave her husband on account of his
abusive treatment Since then he has visited
them a number of times in various places.
but after their removal to Maplewood two
weeks ago he was unable to find them until
Monday.
About II O'Clock Monday Cow ell drove up
to the house in Maplewood and he was
shown to room on the second floor. and
there ensued conversation similar to many
held before. He wanted his wife to return
and live with him, She refused. Then he
asked for one of the children. Again his
answer was a refusal Finally, he asked his
mother-in-law to leave the room and leave
him alone for time with his wife and chill
dren. MIS-. Gowelps mother, having in mind
certain threats made against her daughter,
refused to do so. But she intimated that If
Gowell did not leave the house within 10
minutes he would be put out.
While all this was taking place the little
boy, Robert, four years of age, unnoticed by
all except Gowell, opened the door and
slipped into the entry. A moment after
Gowell said good-by and departed. He had
hardly reached his carriage when his wife
missed the child Robert, and started after
him. She was too late Gowell had started
off in the buggy, and, after short chase,
she returned to the house, where she went
into spasms.
X. G. Atkinson, lumber dealer, saw
white horse attached to buggy which con-
tained a man and child. going at terrific
S iced towards Boston followed by women
shrieking "He has Kidnapped my child" At
kinson gave chase but unable to catch up,
telephoned the Boston police to be on the
watch for the team. The police did so. But
when Gowell reached Somerville he left the
carriage and nobody knows where he has
gone with the child. Gowell is about thirty
years old.

Portland Women's Christian Asso-


From the reports of the secretary and
treasurer at the recent annual meeting 1t Is
shown that this association is pursuing Its
quiet work with encouraging success. The
monthly board meetings have been well at
tended and increased interest manifested by
the members. Contributions have been
somewhat larger than In previous years.
The boarding house. 20 Spring street, has
been full most of the time, while at certain
seasons Of the year more young women have
applied for board than could be accommo-
dated. The efficient matrop, Miss Kimball,
has not only made this a pleasant home to
all its boarders, but financially success, as
it has been more than self-sustaining, having
surplus enough after meeting all expenses
incident to the family living to meet needed
repairs on the building.
Another branch of the Associations work
as in former years has been the employment
OF Rev. Mr.. Wilson as city missionary. He
has devoted about half of his time to visiting
in this capacity, and if any outside of the
Association should be disposed to contribute
directly to his support so that his whole
time could be thus employed the board
would gladly have it so.
Feeling allusion was made made to the
death of Miss Mary L. Tompson who had
beeen Identified with the Association since
its organization twenty years ago, and was
one of its most active and interested of its
workers to the end of her life, though then
81 years old.
The secretary voiced tho feeling of the
board in saying that an increase of member
ship is earnestly desired that the places of
the departed may be filled, and new works
OF usefulness entered on without delay.
