The Kennebec Light & Heat Co. has been
greatly bothered of late by serious leakage
from the State street gas main and recently
put crew of men at work sounding over the
joints along the entire line. NJ. W. Eng.
ley, engineer at the gas house, was badly
burned Friday while applying the fire test
over one of the soundings by the sudden
explosion of the gas. This took place over
what proved the worst leak on the line at
the corner of Weston street. The trouble
here was caused by hole in the main,
which hole had evidently been made by Q
pick, probably when the private sewer Was
recently laid from Mrs. Bartlett Fowlers
house. Other bal leaks, ut joints only,
were discovered in front of the Congrega-
tional chapel and the Unitarian church.
Repairs are being made, and it is hoped that
the main will soon be gastight.
Charles II. O'Brien, local agent for the
Columbia bicycles, and several well-known

following features will probably be included
in the programme Of the days entertain
ment; One mile novices' race; profes.
sional one mile race, best three out of FIVE
heats; free-for- all amateur one mile race,
best three out Of five heats; professional
and business mems half mile race, only
open to amateurs over 40 years of age, and
race between running horse and bicycle
rider. The races will be held for handsome
prizes and an attempt will be made to Sc
cure the approval Of the l.. A. w. for thu
amateur events in order that no rider may
be disqualified for taking part in these
races. The date and other details will be
announced before long.

Mrs. Wood, 1.-The Denver Terror" who
claims to be private detective, and who
has been before the public on a previous
occasion, has lately been very trouble

depot, becoming abusive and using vile
language when demonstrated with.
On saturday night she went into the
express Office at the depot and began to
make herself obnoxious, when Ben True
the railroad officer, told her to go out and
be quiet. She refused, and he quietly
elected her from the Office.
Once outside she refused to go further
and caught him by the necktie and coat
collar, tearing the latter. True is too
gallant to ill-treat a female, but lie man
aged to pinlon her arms and take her up
TO the police station where he deposited
her out of harms way.
The woman was examined some time
ago with view to ascertaining if she was
not insane, but was cunning enough to
give such rational answers to the ques-
tlons of the doctors that they were forced
to declare her sane, although her pre-
Vious actions had raised grave doubts on
the subject. A charge Of disturbing the
peace has been placed against her.
