 Scalped and MutIIated.
 A sad accident has occurred at North Grosvenordale. It was in the low studded weave room of the No 9 mill. Miss Selina Gaudette, French girl, 23 years old, was in the act of putting up her hair, preparatory to leaving her work for the day, and in combIng it threw her hair over her head as women often do. The hair caught in the shaft ing and before assistance could come to her relief she was whirled two or three times around the shafting.

OUR WATER.
Portland Deprived of 1t On the High
Levels

Portland experienced an unpleasant
sensation yesterday on the high levels
because families living ON the heights, at
either end of the city, were deprived of
water. Trouble occurred at the lake
about 8 p. m. and the water on which the
city depended came from the reservoirs.
People below the hills got on very well
but elsewhere they suffered considerable
inconvenience.
At midnight the flow of water in the
Sebago pipes had been partly restored,
and it was expected that before morning
thesupply wovld be all right. 1t was a
peculiar accident which the company are
unable to account for. Men are now at
the lake to ascertain the cause.
