FIRE At WAYNE.


WArNE. May lo.-{ Especial. About :
o'clock this morning the farm buildings OF
B. F. Maxim, with nearly all their contents
were consumed by fire. 1t was with great
difficulty that the occupants escaped and
succeeded in removing the large stock OF
horses and cattle from the barns and
stables.
Occurring as it did at such an early hour,
| the people in the vicinity were wrapped in
slumber, and very few were on hand to
render assistance. Fortunately Mr.. Bar.
retts men were there for the purpose OF
putting up apples. who, by the side of Mr.
Maxim, fought their way nobly to the
horses, and by various methods of over
coming their fear, throwing cloths over
their heads, backing them out. etc, so thai
all were removed without injury.
The cause of the fire must be the ork
of an ince ndiary, An attemptto burn them
the night before was made, the flames hav.

covered and were extinguished with diff

The loss ia heavy and Mr. Maxim i:
greatly overcome by it. This is ne third
time that fire has made him homeless and
the work of years has been destroyed. He
has the sympathy of a large circle Of

| Col. 7. C. Haines, the United State,
engineer officer in charge of the improve

verse to that of his predecessor, Col Smith
coecerning proposed Improvements be
tween Augusta and Waterville. He says;
! At Augusta, itself. the head of the tide
water, and at present tie head of naviga
ton, there is a dam and lock. These were
built by the State some years ago, but ars
now the property Of private corporation
There are also two bridges, one belonging
TO the Maine Central Railroad Company an(
the other, bridge built by the city of Au
gusta. There is 2s feet head room undel
one of these bridges at high tide, and more
than that under the other, but neither i,
provided with draw.
The dam is about II feet high, and the
lock has lift of Is l2 feet, the depth or
the lower inter sill being feet at ordinary
low water. The dam furnishes water power
for pulp mill on the east side of the rivil
and cotton mill on the west side. The
lock is 10 feet long and 2s.4 feet wide
| At the foot of the lock there is shoal water
the depth in extreme low stages being IL
| feet.
From thence down to the steamboat land
| ing the depth varies, the available deptf
| for purpose of navigation being about two
| feet at low tide. The low tide referred to
is the lowest stage of the river observed a,
| the time of the survey. The water some
| times gets to be at least foot lower.
above the dam there is a pool of still
water, the depth of which in no place is
less than about five feet for distance OF
IA l-2 miles, viz, to the foot of Carter's
Ledges.
"The next obstruction is at Carters Ledges
about :, l-2 miles below Waterville. These
lodges extend entirely across the river, but
there is channel about 100 feet wide and
with a depth of "A feet in it at ordinary
summer level. The amount of excavation
| to get feet over this shoal is not large, but
it is all ledge and will have to be blasted.
1.-The next obstruction is a small shoal
just below Pettys Rips. There is depth
here of 4 Il feet at summer level, and the
material to be removed to secure feet
consists of powders and gravel.
From thence to Pettys Rips there is
five feet. At the rips the depth is two and
one-half feet only, the material powders
and gravel. Here the fall in the river is
great and the current rapid. At this place
the logging interests and steamboat inter-
ests will conflict, as one is certain to con-
flict with the other.
From Pettys Rips to Fort Points Rips
there is full five feet, except at one place,
where the depth is 4 y feet, the material on
the shoal being boulders and gravel.
AT Fort Point the depth is only g feet,

UNDER TINE ELscTRic GLARE.


| CHICAGO, May l0.--From n shadowy re-
cess at the entrance to the Electricity build
ing the statue Of Benjamin Franklin looked
out over the Court of Honor. Be-
fore his stony eyes there was unfolded a
scene Of rare beauty. In the twinkling Of
an eye upon the edges Of the cornices Of
the Administration building, following the
the lines of its rectangular wings, sprang
into existence 400 golden stars.
Along a balcony midway up the sides of
the glowing dome, we're rows of immense
torches with their Pickering flames stream
ing out in the wind. Within, myriads Of
lights in branching candlebra, looking like
shining five-leaved clover, lit up the blue
and white and golden dome.
At the other end of the lagoon the peri
style held aloft single row of glitterng
lights. Above this golden band there stood
outlined against the dark sky the muscular
| figures of stalwart red men, looking dow n
in aboriginal stoicism upon the splendid
scene below. Between the columns of the
peristyle the glow of light streamed out
over the waters of the lake, on whose
bosom stately steamers moved.
Between the Administration building and
the peristyle lay the peaceful lagoon, its
VAIN Suiiutt IlVpits uN t1s
prows of gondolas and launches. In its
inky depths the rows Of lights on the sur
rounding buildings were reflected in lines
broken into thousand fantastic shapes by
the wavelets.
From three great lights on the edge of the
lagoon powerful mechanisms threw cloudy
columns of electric lights across the court
of honor.
These white streams Of light were like
brilliant milky ways in II heaven filled only
with suns or planets.
In their searching light, turned hiiber
and yon, figures typifying agriculture and
abundance, and the giljed figure of Disna
on the Agricultural building took on new
beauty. Macmonnie's fountain showed like
marble intaglio against the black crowds
on the plsza behind.
The horses of Percheron and the bulls
and reindeer which ornament the ap-
pronches to the bridges over the lagoon,
became huge and grotesqne in the chsng-
ing lights.
And over all, in the cool night air,
floated strains of music which gave express
sion to the delight which 10000 people who
saw the Worlds Fair wonderful display
| could not otherwise express.

C0RDAGE TRUSTS PLIGHT.
Transfer Of Stock Forbidden by New Jerseys
Court.

NEw YORK, May l0.-The affairs of
National Cordage are rapidly growing into
a financial scandal The transfer books
have been closed by the receivers, and it
became necessary for the governors of the
stock exchange to rule that certificates in
the names of the suspended firms, or in
deed in any name. would be good and
valid delivery.
Chancellor McGill issued the order and
the receivers were awaiting the decree.
Secretary Ely of the exchange, a commit
tee of the governors and their counsel wen,
to Jersey City to secure a modification of
the order, which would permit the transfer
of stocks in process of transfer at the time
the order was issued
Mr.. Allen says directly that the pool in
which the officers Of the National Corda ge
Company were interested failed to make
good their promises and forced his suspen-
sion. 1t has been apparent that there has
been mass of paper flying round througl,
which an expert bookkeeper finds it diff
cult to see his way.
Paper has been issued by subordinate
companies indorsed by officers individually
indorsed again by National Cordage and
still further by the officials of the parent
company.
Meanwhile their individual notes have
gone to protest and there is a fair prospect
that receivers will be appointed, or there
will be an assignment OF houses that stood
with the highest credit before the organize
| ton of the National Cordage Company.
They had given their names on the back
of notes of subordinate companies that had
| no real property at all, and they certaiuly
devoted more time to sustaining the prir,
| of the stock in Wall street than to III.
management of the property.
1t is now quite certain tina. the cash and
ready resources of the National Cordage
Company have been Indirectly diverted in
| that direction, and the result has been a
panic in which they have brought in hosts
of others to share their sufferings
| No direct information is likely to be
| given for day or two. 1t will be impo-
| sibe for any one to straighten out the en-
| tangled accounts before thst. Means hills
| the paper of the company, its officers apt
| indorsers is going TO protest every day, AM
no one can tell where the responsibility viii
| finally end.
| Chancellor McGill declined to take any
action on the trusts application.
