QUARTERLY COURT.
A Good Meeting. Rights Of Way fol
Street Railroads Guaranteed.
Bridges, Etc.

The County Court met in quarterly
session this morning with good
attendance of magistrates, and Judge
Tyler presiding. After the regular
appropriations for the past months
accounts, petitions were taken up.
The first was the petition for right of
way over Greenwood avenue outside
of the corporate limits-both the
company and citizens put in a petit
tlon--the citizens, all but one who is
absent, having signed an agreement
to move i'm their fences and widen
the street. The petitions were
granted by unanimous vote, and the
laying Of the track will now COM
mence as soon as hands can be had to
do the work.
The GAINESVILLE and Cave Company
petitioned for right of way from the
corporate limits of College street to
the junction with Franklin, and
thence over Franklin to Dunbars
Cave; also across from College by
Slattery's grocery to Commerce street;
thence east along the street through
Glenn's property to Reynolds street,
and north over Reynolds street to
Franklin near the bridge. The petit
ton was granted by unanimous vote.
The court appropriated 81 1000 for
building of bridge across Yellow
creek at Sailors Rest.
Public roads, Overseers, etc., occu-
pied more time than all other bust
ness.
j. X. Ramey was elected notary
public for the south side, for the con-
venience of the mineral railroad
people. Joe Dunlop was elected
notary public for the city.
A new voting precinct was estab
lished at Nichols store at the Mad
ison street bridge. All citizens OF
the Twelfth district south of the
railroad from Cumberland river to
the Madison street bridge, and all
south of Madison street on the Port
Royal road from the bridge to the
district line, will vote at Nichols
store all between the railroad and
Madison extension and franklin
streets will vote at the courthouse,
and all north of Franklin will vote
at the market house.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Albert Jones. COL, Porter for Elder Bros.
Dies Without Warning.

A short while before II o'clock thi:
morning Albert Jones, the colored
porter for Elder Bros, died suddenly
in the store. He had been in the
regular discharge of his duties all this
morning and was apparently as well
as any one two minutes before his
death. Albert had been sent to the
rear Of the store to get out some
heavy rope for a customer, and while
handling the rope he was seen tc
reel and fall. Mr.. John Elder ran to
HIM, and got some water, but his
efforts were of no avail; there were q
few contortions, gasp or two, and
all was over.
a jury of inquest was summoned
and after passing on the case returned
verdict that Albert died oil
some unknown cause, probably heart
disease. The body was carried TO
Albert's home on Strawberry and
prepared for burial.
Albert had been porter for Elder
Bros number of years, and was a
quiet, good servant. He left a wife
and one or more children. He was 8
steady drinker, had been drinking
heavily OF late, and this no doubt
had much to do with his sudden
death.

To Cure Sick Animals or Fatten Cattle
Requires only good attention and the
proper medical treatment OF them.
Their bowels must be kept in natural
condition and an even and healthy APP
petite created in them. Uncle Sam s
ConditionPowder is the great Remedial
Agent for such use, and the best Cura-
tive for Diseases Common to Animals
ever devised by man. For Poultry it is
no less valuable; it will make hens lay
if mixed with their food occasionally.

Preliminary Survey.

The Corporators OF the Skowhegsn and
Norridgewock Railroad Company met at
Engine Hall Saturday afternoon agreeable
to adjournment. Twelve Of the corpora
tors-a majority of the whole were
present. They listened to the report of
various committees appointed at former
meeting, and on motion Of Omer Clark
Esq, 1t was voted that q preliminary
survey be made
On account of the unavoidable absence
Of Gen. X. b. Shepherd, chairman, who
had certain information 1t was desirable
for the corporators to have before taking
further steps, the corporstors adjourned
to Monday morning at 9 O'Clock.
Monday the corporxtors met and raised
q committee consisting Of w. II. Wildes,
A. IL. Weston and L. W. Weston to Be-
cure preliminary survey, and adjourned
to meet at the Executors Room Mon
day evening July FL, at 7 O'Clock.
Thirteen Of the corporators we're pre-
sent at this meeting beside other citizens
Of our town. The feeling on the part Of
the corporators so far as known Is strong
ly in favor of going ahead with the
project. The meetings and the favorable
remarks upon our streets are very en-
couraging to the friends Of the Link"

Bad roads and the threatening aspect OF
the weather prevented many from coming
in to participate In the exercises Of the
Fourth, although In spite Of all this our
ueighborlng towns we're well represented.
The fantastic parade was given up early
in the day on account Of the bad condi-
ton Of the streets, but when the band
boys volunteered TO lead the way through
the mud the project went forward, and
although the number who dared venture
out were few they were fantastic to the
very letter. The races were necessarily
postponed. The grove being too wet for
the exercises the proprletors Of Kennebec
Hall most kindly gave its use for the
Grafton, which was delivered by Rev. s.
F. Smith of Skowhegan. Mr.. Smith al.
ways draws large audience here, not on
ly from the fact that this ID his native
town. but because 1t Is q rare treat to
hear 80 able speaker, On this occasion
he seemed at his very best, and no audi
ence was ever held hrmer by q speakers
voice than was his. Everyone's tongue
Is loud In his praise. The band did a
noble work, filling the town with music
almost every hour In the day and closing
with an evening concert. The ball was
largely attended and proved to be one OF
the most quiet and orderly social enter
taininents ever given In town. Even the
1ost fastidious Of our moralists could
not have objected to 1t. But In spite Of
the quite and order which marked the
above events our town WAS the scene Of
many dlsgraceful and revolving sights
throughout the day and night. Rum
flowed like water and the very air seemed
Allied with microbes of fight. Although
we will be obliged to be credited with 1t
all, we have the satisfaction Of knowing
that the acts Of riot were not the acts Of
our citizens and that the rum was not
sold by Bingham people. The whole
trouble was from low and lawless set Of
outsiders who have NO sense of decency
whether drunk or sober. The blame
rests with our citizens In not having the
proper officers to Quell such turbulent out.
nreAka morn esDeclAlly so when MANY
were aware that liquors were being
brought In by loads from the neighboring
towns below. Since the Supreme Court
hurled the "origiual package" insult At
the States, 1t really seems as though our
peoples tempers nee qualities had become
dormant. May last Friday teach lesson
Give US officers and place to put law
breakers. A CITEZKN.

Omitting lakes, which are in many
cases natural reservoirs, the largest res.
ervoir or artificial lake in the world ID
the great tank Of Dhebar, twenty miles
southeast Of Udaipur city, Rajputana
province, India. It covers an area Of
twenty-one square miles. The masonry
dam is 1000 feet long by 95 feet high; 30
feet wide at the base and Is at the top.
In southern India, also, there are some
immense reservoirs. That Of Cumbum
in Cuddapath district is formed by dam
ming the GundlaA mana river by dam
81 feet high thrown between two hills.
The reservoir has an area of fifteen square
miles. The Sulekere reservoir in Mysore
state is very little smaller, and next to
Cumbum is the finest in southern India
Compared with these artificial lakes,
Loeb Katrine Supplying Glasgow, four
and one-half square miles, and Vyrnwy
reservoir Supplying LiverpooD, nearly
two square miles, are insignificant In
size. The Manchar tank In Scinde has
an area Of 1870 square miles, but only
when fed by the wsters Of the river dur
ing the months Of food. In dry months
1t shrinks to quite small area.-New
