Has a Coffin To Sell.

For some time past Michael Barry, of
Durand, an old man, has been lying at
the point of death, and he decided to ar
range all the details of his funeral. He
was measured for his coffin in bed, and
the casket was placed in the sick room,
where the old man could feast his eyes
upon it. Barry made all preparations,
including carriages for the mourners.
No sooner had he satisfied his mind that
everything was ready for his demise
than he began to mend. He is now able
to walk, and is willing to let the coffin
go at Observation-Disclosures Telegraph.
A Startling Incident.
A native in Kulu, India, had to all ap-
pearance died. AS the body was being
carried for cremation it suddenly sat
bolt upright on the bier, demanded its
clothes and asked to be told where it
was being carried. The bearers, believ-
ing that an evil spirit had terminated
the body, dropped it and fed. The man
thus left alone unwound himself and
walked home. The ex-corpse has de-
clined to have anything more to do with
his relatives or their religion.-London

ABSOLUTE DIVORCE WANTED
BY a Woman Who Mas Married and Mas q
Daughter Who Is Now an Heiress.

BosroN, May l5.--Mrs Maria Egcry. of
Bangor, wants the Supreme court of this
state 10 declare absolute the decree nis
which divorced her from her former hus.
band, Elmer Bolton in this state, nearly
% years ago. According to the rule of the
court the decree could be made absolute
thus giving her the right 10 marry again
six months afterward.
After that time hnd expired her lawyer.
4. IL. Appleton, handed petition for the
decree absolute to Clerk Geo. &. Wilde,
who was personal friend of Mrs Bolton.
and who assured him that the petition would
he attended to, No notice was taken of the
petition, and no mention of the decree ahso-
luie appears upon the records of the court.
In November, 1860, Mrs. Bolton married
Marshall j, Egrry of Bangor. Me-, and
they have had daughter. The cause of the
renewal of the Bolton divorce matter was
the recent death of Mr.. Egery's neither.
Among the heirs il her granddaughter but
the Young lady's interest is contested by
some relatives, who contend that, as her
mother did not get an absolute diyotce from
Mr.. Bolton, she is an illegitima,c child, and
not entitled to inherit.

A Splendid Water Privilege for Sale Spool
Bar Saving Industry.

H,HrLANn, MAY l4.,-(SpeciaD The
water power here is particularly waltz
able, because it can always be de
pended on. Last season was one
of the very dryest ever known in this
part of the country All around mills were
obliged either to shut down entirely, run
on short time, or use steam, but the
Linn mill was troubled only a very
little by scarcity OF water, and although
equipped with steam engine for use in
case of emergency, it was not necessary to
resort to 1t during the season. There is Il
fine unoccupied power on this same stream,
the site of the old tannery, where business
ceased some four years ago, on account of
the scarcity of bark. The
dam at this point could be made
at least two feet higher than at present and
the power would be amply sufficient, to drive
the machinery of "A wooden mill as large as
any in the State. The location is beauti-
full one, and all about in that part of the
village there is plenty of desirable land
where the houses could be built which would

be added to the business of the town The
owner of this fine privilege, &. J. Shaw.
Esq, would like to dispose of it to some
individual or corporation who would use it
to the best advantage, and he would give
such parties great bargain. 1t is under
stood that the old tannery buildings will

off from the lot.
Mr.. Thomas Mahoney has got fairly com
menced on the seasons work with his steam
well boring machine, his first job being on
the premises of Mr.. James Fuller. There
are several other parties in town who con
template having wells sunk this season by
Mr.. Mahoney. He has been at work
with his machine between this place and
Waterville the past six years, his terms
being $500 a foot. If he fails to reach
water, he collects no pay. He has, how
ever, stopped work in only one instance
without getting water, and then the man
who employed him lost his courage The
deepest well lie has sunk in this vicinity
is that on the premises of Mr..
A. w. Miller, the druggist, where he went
down Is feet.
Mr.. Lyman Cook who has been running
the steam mill near the depot for the past
four years, has sawed this season as hand
some a lot of spool bars can be found
anywhere. The weather this spring has
been just superb for seasoning
this kind of timber as it is stacked up in the
yards. The cars sawed by Mr. Cook are
for I. J. Stewards Sons and will be shipped
TO Scotland. 1t is curious fact which
may be mentioned in this connection. that
these bars are sent in great quantity across
the ocean unlOaded taken to the factory
where they are converted into spools and
then the spools sent back to this country
and sold at prices which will compete with
those of our own spool manufacturers. An
explanation of this is said to be in the fact
that in the hands Of the foreigners great
deal of the wood that in this country is
wasted. is thoroughly utilized that every
particle represents value.

BRuSswIeK, May H.-( Special Bow
doin made Coibs's cup of base bali woe
even fuller SATURDAY BY defeating her team
By the score of 20 to s. Colby played
ragged ball throughout the game, while
Bowdoin put up her best game of the sea-
son. Harrington, the Augusta boy. was in
the box and proved a great success. His
speed is excellent and he has great faculty
of getting them where he wishes.
Bowdoin started out, after shutting Colby
ont by making three runs in the first inning
They duplicated their score in the second
made one run in the third and SIX in the
fourth. Meanwhile Colby had had hard
work to roll up two and Bowdoin had such
lead as to be practically sure of the game
During the fourth inning Purington, the
Colby pitcher, in fielding hot line hit,
sprained his thumb badly and Barnes was
substituted, pitching fair ball for the res, OF
the game.
The game was uninteresting almost
throughout, but several pretty plays were
made, notably Hinkley's catch of fly in
left field after long run in the fourth and
liutchinsons fine stop of throw to first of
a hot one from Halls bat. Chapman, in
center robbed Bonney of hit by IA grea,
catch. Allen, Savage and Sykes all played
good ball for Bowdoin, while Bonney,
Hosey and Reynolds did excellent work for
Colby.

the victory and some hopes are entertained
now that Harrington may lead the team to
victory in the Bates game here next Sat

IT WILL Be BITTER.
The Manufacturers Decide On the Lockout to
Take Place Today.

BosroN, May with Monday will
come a great lockout of granite workers in
New England. That was the decision of
the executive committee of the Granite
Manufacturers Association Saturday, the
subject being given long discussion at the
meeting at the Quincy House.
The enforcement of the resolution adopted
May TO suspend work in all the depart
ments" if the bills are not signed to January
i, was unanimously agreed upon, and mem
hers of the labor unions will be debarred
from work in all yards and quarries of the
New England Association Monday morning
The manufacturers say it is not ii lockout,
but merely a suspension of work. The fact
remains that the unions will be hoycoited
and is hard to find any other word to suit
the case. Over li.o0a men connected
directly with the granite industry in New
England will be idle and this number will
be augmented by several thousand through
forced idleness of the teaUsters, ,lraymen
and others.
This is only the beginning of a battle be-
tween capital and labor which both sides
coceie will be bitter.
