POLLARD AT THE DANCE.
The Constable Used His Pistol and
One Dancer May Die.

Especial to the .Press.l
WATERvILLE, July Sat about 8 o'clock
this afternoon there was lively shooting
scrape took place in the neighborlng town of
Winslow. The chief participants In the
affair were John Pollard, the constable for
Winslow. and a party Of pleasure seekers on
one of the small islands in Pettis Pond.
For some weeks it has been quite the custom
for large parties of young people from this
city to go to the islands in this pond and
there pass the Sabbath in dancing, boating
and general merrymaking.
The dancing was at its height when John
Pollard. the Winsl0w constable, made his
appearance and ordered the entertainment
given his order, and, upon his insisting, he
received many insults and threats from the
participants. Hard words followed. Pollard
drew his revolver and shot down the two
who were chief actors in the ARRAY, John
Butler and John Kelley. Both are yery Sc
riously injured.
1t Is thought Butler may recover. but the
cnances for Kelley are very small. Drs.
mayer and Hill were summoned and pro-
nounced both wounds very dangerous. Kel-
ley having been shot through the lower por-
tlon OF the bowels. After the shooting OFF,
Ger Pollard came to this city and gave him
sell up to the proper authorities. What ac-
lard affrms that the shooting was done in
self defence, that he was knocked down and
kicked. and was finally obliged to make use
of hiSWeapons.

MAKING GEOGRAPHY.
Tho Water In the Colorado Desert
Coming from the Gulf.

Los ANGLES, CAL, July "a despatch
received last night from G. W. Durbrow,
Superintendent of the salt works at Salton,
says: "rhe Indian i sent out from Volcano
spring, has returned His statement settles
the question of the water coming from the
new river country. The water is coming
into the sink at Salton through Cares
creek. The course of the water can be
traced by land from Fig springs. The water
empties in Salton sink, % miles south of SAL
ton. The water Is increasing slowly, but
moving to the west fast"
At hrst 1t was believed by most we'll in
formed People around here that the flood
came from the river, whence previous over
flows have come several times during the
past thirty years, but the steadily increasing
volume Of water In the face Of the fall in
the river has caused change of
opinion. Now it is generally be-
lieved the flood must have its
source in the gulf. Should this theory be
correct, 1t Is evident we are on the eve of
one OF the most interesting geographical
changes that has taken place on this conti-
nent. The increase In the area of the gulf
will be of small Importance itself compared
with the great modification in climate which
this inland sea would cause.

NEW ROAD TO the HUB.
Boston and Maine and Canadian
Pacific VIII Make IL.

MONTREAL, July The Canadian Pacific
aud Boston & Maine Railroad Company;have
practically agreed upon plan whereby the
distance between Boston and Montreal will
be materially lessened. All that can be
learned about it as yet is that the Conadian
Pacific Is to build from st. Constant to
Rouse's Point, connecting there with the st.
Johnsbury and Lake Champlain Railway,
which is owned by the Boston and Maine.
and that the Boston and Maine is to build
two short cuts" to save distance, one from
Hardwick's on the st. Johns bury and Lake
Champlain to Barnet and Wells River on
the Passumpsic Division Of the Boston and
Maine and the other from Fairlee on the
same division, to Canaan on the C0ncorda
division of the Boston and Maine 1t is un-
derst0Od that the section of the ST. Johns
bury aud Lake Champlain Railway from
Swant0n to Hardwick will be utilized In the
new short line. 1t will be largely improved
and relaid with heavy rails, and 1t Is the in
tention OF both parties to make a line to Bos-
ton that will be beyond competition. The
distance saved will be about twenty miles,
and there will be a large advantage to the
new line In grades and curves. The incl
dental advantage to the Canadian Pacific
will be connection with the Delaware and
Hudson at Rouse's Point The Hardwick
cut off will pass through the famous Hard
wick Quarri6s
