In company with Mr.. X. I. Rankin jour
nal representative rode to Swanville Satur-
day morning to inspect the trout hatchery
at the foot of Swan Lake In the breeding
trOughs are between BOO, 900 and 4OO,oO0
eggs The embryo trout can he Seen in the
eggs quite plainly under tile glass used. 1t
is thought the eggs will hatch out sometime
the last Of March. Mr.. Rankin says arrange
ments will be made to keep the young fry in
hogshead tubs until they attain sufficient
growth to be turned into the lake Mr.. viii
Cunningham has the superintendent Of the
hatchery and once a week looks over the
trays and sorts out the dead eggs. which
thus far are few In number,
Tie hatchery is supplied with running
water forced into tho troughs by water
wheel, When the hatchery was first estab-
lished it Was found that when the lake was
low Water would not run in. In such an
went the eggs would not hatch and the en-
terprise would prove a failure. Mr. Rankin
| interested himself and obtained sufficient
subscription from the people IN Belfast and
Searsport TO buy a water wheel, and to this
gentleman is dae mut4, of the success Of the
enterprise. Mr.. Rankin says be favors the
stocking OF An ponds in Waldo county With
trout from Swan Lake.

the fake and an occasional f*h is taken
Between twenty and thirty trout have beer
caught since thu, law was N} One man said
that last week he caught I, pound and hall
trout that was full of spawn.
The people about the lake are now fully
alive to the Importance of breeding and pro
tecting the fish, and it is believed THAI little
or no lrsaching has been done.

PIrTsToN, March 6. Three child
rem are lying IN the shadow of death
in the house of Ulrick Collect, and
their four year old brother is looked
upon as the innocent cause of the ter.
rible accident. The four children

drawer they found a revolver rusted
by its long disuse. None of the child
ren knew that the pistol was loaded
They were examining it when sudden
ly there was a sharp explosion follow
ed by four screams.
The pistol had blown up. 1t was
held by Willie, the four-year old boy.
Strangely enough he was injured the
least Of the four. His two brothers
and a little sister We're struck with
fragments of iron and badly hurt.

cal condition. All were mangled and
their faces blackened by the burnt
powder.

EDITORS CoLUMBIAN:
In reply to Krickbaum he says his
sympathy goes to the Post Master at
Candy that daily does not split
the P. NJ. Kricky, you understand
that you or your paper cannot split
me. If you want a daily mail you
will have to get it carried like you
have had it carried the day before
delegate meeting But if we had one
or two more such men in the county
there would not be a democratic
majority. Who helped the republi-
cans take up Kinter against Snyder
and worked for him? How about the
tickets you printed this spring. Is
that democratic? Now if was in
your place, l would not say any thing
about split. Who got Gibbons to
come down to the committee meeting
after substituting Cole. He had to
come or you would not make the
nomination. l think the democrats
ought to get the skin off of their
eyes before long.

Irwin Housel was arrested on Tues,
day on complaint Of William Giger,
for an alleged assault and battery on
Lloyd Giger, his son. The warrant
was issued by Guy Jacoby Esq. and
the hearing took place on Tuesday
evening, when, after hearing testi-
mony. the defendant was discharged,
the evidence not being sufficient to
bind him over.
1t seems that on Saturday night
while the Friendship dance was in
progress at the Town Hall, young
Giger attempted to enter the room
without ticket, and on being refused
he struck the door keeper, and was
then arrested and put in the lookup.
On hearing before President Har.
man he was fined five dollars and
costs. Irwin Housel was present at
the dance, and young Giger on pass
ing him in the hall or on the stairs
struck him, and Housel struck back.
Giger was intoxicated. The justice
dismissed the case.

On Monday we were shown sample

On Monday we were shown sample
of galvanizing done by J. w. Mears &
Co. 1t was piece of caft and wrought
iron combined, as nsed in their Perfect
Washer. There seems to be a differ
ent process used for galvanizing cast
and wrought iron, but these gentlemen
have succeeded in getting a system by
which they galvanize both pieces at the
same operation. The work is fine, and
compares very favorably with work
done in the cities. They use a large
quantity in the manufacture Of their
washers, and have heretofore purchased
in Philadelphia at great cost. They
are prepared to manufacture for any
parties who desire any galvanized ar
ticles.
