Business Going to Kennebunk

BIDDEFoRD, December BIT is very
likely that a new industry will be start
ed in Kennebunk. A Westbrook syndi-
cate has purchased the privilege at the
old falls just above West Kennebunk.
Ten acres of land adjoining have also
been acquired in the bargain and yester-
day the land was surveyed. The new
business would be the manufacture of
paper from pulp. The citizens of that
section are hopeful that the scheme may
prosper. How soon the initiation of
actual operations will be begun is I'M
certain. The other proposed new enter
prise has vanished from the town

JAY GOULD DEAD.
Pulmonary Consumption Ends the Life of
the Financier.

8 :. ~
NEW YORK, December 2.--Jay Gould,
"a great figure in the history of Wall
street, died at his home at 47th street
and Fifth avenue at Obs this morning.
The cause of his death was pulmonary
consumption. All night long the mem
bers of Mr.. Gould's family were at his
bedside. Early last evening it became
known that his death was only matter
of hours. He had never rallied after he
had hemorrhage of the lungs ON the day
before Thanksgiving. He had another
hemorrhage two days later and still an
other last Wednesday. This announce
ment was surprise to all but the most
intimate acquaintance of Mr.. Gould. 1t
had long been supposed that he was sui
fering from ne vous dyspepsia.
From an early hour last night Mr..
Gould began sinking rapidly. DIR. Mum,
his physician, had DR.. Janeway in con-
sultation, but they said that nothing
could be done but make Mr.. Could last
hours as comfortable as possible.
When the end came the members of
the family who were in the house were
Mr.. and Mrs. George Gould, Mr.. and
Mrs. Edwin Gould, Miss Helen Gould,
Howard Gould, Harold Gould and Miss
Annie Gould.
Rev. John r. Paxton, who left the
Gould residence at 11.80, said Mr.. Could $
end was very peaceful. He called all
the members Of his family around his
bedside and spoke to each of his sons
and daughters individually. Mr.. Gould
became unconscious a few minutes be-
fore his deaf. DR.. Paxton said the fun
eral will take place Monday.

THE story Of the sinking OF the British
bark Childwell, by the steamer Woodland,
from Antwerp, is thrilling story. The
pilot of the Childwell says: "The night
was clear and strong wind was blowing
| saw the steamers lights fifteen minutes
before the collision. Suddenly the steamer
starboarded her helm, apparently intending
to cross our bows. l saw that a collision
was inevitable, and, with the captain,
shouted warning to the crew. Before
they got up the steamer struck us between
the mainmast and the foremost on the port
side and cut through to within six feet of
the starboard side. She struck with such
force that the Childwell was heeled com
pletely over. 1t was an awful crash and
the sight was fearful one. The masts and
rigging fell on the steamers deck, and she
backed astern, carrying the masts with her
The Childwell quickly filed and sank
within two minutes after the collision.
Nine of us climbed into the mizzen rigging.
OF the fifteen drowned, twelve persisted on
the ship, as they could hardly have had
time to come to the deck. The three others
chung to the end of the bowsprit for two
hours until the rising water washed them
off. The steamer stood for an hour and
lowered two boats, which, however, failed
TO reach us, owing to the rough sea. We
then had little hope of rescue, fearing that
the rising tide would cover us. After being
four hours dashed to the mizZenmast in the
bitter cold we were overjoyed to see lights

not bell shaped, but made as skirts used
to be-rather plain, except for the fullness
at the back, and dragging little. The
bodice is made loose on the lining, the
fullness being drawn down in pointed
lines front and back, and held in place by
a bodice of narrow grey ribbon. The rib
bon passes around from back to front;
then the ends cross in front, drawing the
ribbon close all around at the waist line,
and are carried back again, meeting just
below the center of the back, and there
tied in pretty bow, the loops of which
go upward, while the long ends float down
as long as the skirt. Around the arm
hole lace is sewed to give almost cape
effect. The edge of the bodice shows in a
soft puff just below the ribbon bodice. 1t
is almost as if the bodice were cut blouse
shape and then drawn in by the belt. This
same effect is prettily carried out in the
sleeves. A big puff forms the upper
sleeve to the elbow. Then just at the ell
bow band of grey ribbon is tied and the
puff is drawn down little and the edge
shows below the ribbou. The rest of the
sleeve Is plain.
