shows that the estates in Waterville now
amount to S. ,462 1875, sgaipst $s,6l3 ,49G
in 1880, = gain in ten years Of $2,s49, 1893
In 1850 there were 1912; ten years later
there were 1872 polls. The gain in wealth
and population in this city in the last dec
ade has been considerably larger, in pro-
portion than that Of any other place in the
State. The returns Of the last census
showed that about one-third of the entire
net gain in the State for ten years had been
made in Waterville. There is yet . large
water power here that is not utilized, and
excellent sites for enough additional DWELL
ings TO make this the largest city in the
State.

We only ask for this little amendment.
When Colonel Case Of Rochland. one Of
The largest manufacturer, was asked before
the committee how much rock they had
from the Thomsston side, he said they took
800 900 barrels out OF that quarry . year.
II that vein 10 run out ON the Thomastcn
side. how Is it that this Rockiand msnufac-
turer takes ont 100000 barrels Of lime
year? Nov, there are two kinds Of
lime, the hard and the soft lime. The
hard lime is used for building purp ,ses and
laying bricks. The soft lime 10 used for
6nithing purposes. There 10 more of the
soft lime in Rockland than there il in

standing the fact that both are made from
the same material. They say in this ar,i.
Gle that no man should cloth himself With

exactly what this amendment says. They
shall not cloth themselves With the reputa-
ton Of the quafries in Thomsston and 10

The only man who hiss ever branded lims
in Thomaston with the name "Rockland" is
Captain james A. Creightoo, and be came
here to the secretary Of state and paid o.
for the right to brand the rock.
Mr.. Monroe then exhibited asbfsnd of
the Cobb Lime Company who burned lime
in Thomsston from Thomaston qusrries
and branded it "Rsckland."1
Mr.. Savage Of Auburn-After the orisi-
raj bill was presented the gentleman from
Thomaston, think, presented bill which
Vas referred to the judiciary committee to
have all the lime dos there from all the
towns branded "Knox County lime I" That
was the frss position taken. When they
came to the hearing before the Judiciary
IL was conceded thst that would not be
right, and the sole contest was upon this
issue, ~ understand IL that whereas, q
great many years ago, before Thomaston
and R,ckland were divided, the name
"Thomas,on line" had been used to cover
the product Of all the quafries in that vi
cinity, after the division Thomsston had
gone into shipbuilding, Rocklsnd had con-

HORRIBLY FATAL EXPLOSION

Tho terrific dOwnpour OF rain had caused n

the cupola.
Six wcrkmen were in tbs furnace. They
stood IN circle around the cupola waiting

Agent Smith Copsults with tho Customs
Officials and Talks with n Reporter.
Converse j. Smith of Boston, special
treasury agent, in charge of the first dis
trict, was yesterday in the city in company
with Deputy Collector II. II. Twohey of
Montreal
Mr. Smith was accosted by a representa-
tive OF the FREE PRESS at the hotel and
asked about the noted case against Kill
bourne j. Brown, Pullman car conductor
running between Boston and Montreal, who
was taken before United States Commits
sioner Hallett in Boston, June 90 on the
charge of smuggling goods from Canada and
held for trial. lie sail that he
was here for consultation with the
customs officials relativ, to Conductor
Browns case which, under the circum-
stances, naturally created considerable in
terest in this State and which is assigned
for trial at Concord, N. II, the coming
week The change of tho trial from Boston
to Concord necessary as the delivery
OF the goods was in Nsw Hsmpshire. The
case was first assigned TO Portsmouth, n.
H., but Brown has since obtained new sure
ties and the case has been assigned to tho
capital city. In the report OF the suporvis-
ing agent to tho secretary OF the treasury
of the important cases, the following COM
ment is made on Conductor Browns case:
at having been alleged that Canadian
dealers were selling goods to American tour
lists, to be delivered by express, an nvesti-
cation disclosed that conductors and portcrs
Of sleeping cars on lines crossing the ntcrna-
tional boundary were actively engaged in
tho occupation of smuggling. One Of them
was detected with the goods in his poses
sion, seized and committed to trial. A large
number OF packages struggled have been
| found through the books OF the express oilico
where they were deposited for shipment to
destination. 1t Is believed that the action
taken in these cases has had a wholesome
| effect in deterrinS merchants, tailors and
others in Canada from employing such
methods to increase their business, and from
the practice which has existed of sending
agents to our cities and towns 10 solicit or
ders for clothing to be delivered 10y unlaw-
fui means.n
Mr.. Smith returned to Montreal yestor-
day afternoon and will go to Boston to dsy
charge OF tho case from tho very beginning
and is of the opinion that enough evi lence
has been obtained to convict the ex-con-
ductor of having smugSlcl goods in his pos
session. Only a small part OF the evidences
was introduced at the commissioners henr-
ing so that the web will be wound much
stronger at the trial next week Brown
has considerable money and will make q
strong fight.
