Tho Nichols and Moody Boys Bound Owe,

Tho Nichols and Moody Boys Bound Over.
Before Commissioner Bradley, yester-
day afternoon, were brought Edward E..
Nichols and Ralph G. Moody, the two
New Portland boys who were arrested
for breaking into the postoffice at that
place, Jan. End. The affair has made a
great sensation in that place, as the two
boys belong to respectable families, are
members of the senior class In the High
school, and have heretofore borne good
regulations. They had, it seems, been
making visits to the postoffice, which
aroused the suspicious of the postmast-
er. He lay in wait for the intruders one
night in the office. When they en-
tered he knocked down one with club,
while the other, escaping from the Office,
ran into the arms of the constable. 1t
was soon found that the one knocked
down was the Moody boy, and the one
caught outside was the Nichols boy.
The affair made great sensation in
the village.
Yesterday Franklin Simmons, Esq,
of North Arson, appeared for the boys,
and District Attorney Dyer for the gov
eminent. The boys pleaded mot guilty."

NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
A Project to Connect Bridgton and Har-
rison with Road Which Will Carry
Both Freight and Passengers.

For some weeks past Portland parties
together with prominent citizens of Har-
rison and Bridgton, have been consider
ing the building of an electric road from
Bridgton to Harrison, for both freight
and passenger service, and also for fur
nishing light and power to those two
places. So enthusiastically was the pro-
ject received by the people of the two
towns and also of Waterford and sur
rounding places, that superior water
power has been looked up and the OPP
ton of it secured. and petition for
charter will soon be circulated, for pre-
sentation to the legislature. 1t appears
that the large lumber and farming coun-
try around Harrison, Waterford and
South Waterford has no outlet for its
products except by team to Norway, on
the Grand Trunk railroad, or to Bridg-
ton ON the Bridgton & Saco River rail
road. 1t is proposed to construct an
electric road of the same gauge as that
now running from Bridgton to Bridgton
junction, so that cars can be loaded at
Harrison and taken to the Maine Central
railroad at Bridgton Junction without
change.
Eventually the road will be extend d
to Waterford and Waterford Flat. Not
only will freight be handled extensively,
but arrangements will be made for the
accommodation of large passenger
traffic.
Parties who have travelled through
this section, know that few places in
Maine offer greater attractions to the
tourist and health seeker, and already
several beautiful summer residences
have been bui here by Portland people.
The writer learned that Mr.. P. Tolman
of Harrison was in town yesterday on bus
mess connected with the proposed road.
1t is rumored that the Giant Electric
Company of this city is largely interest
ed in the enterprise, and will equip both
the road and electric light plant.

JAMES S. MARRETT, Supt
To my Customers and the Public in
general:
Having just finished the work of stock
taking, and after a critical examination
of all the patterns of our immense stock
of carpets, find number of designs
which have been dropped from the looms
and will not be produced by the factories
any more, which must be moved in order
to make room for the new stock of spring
goods which we shall shortly go into the
market to secure.
Among these carpets are number of
patterns of best quality, five-frame body
Brussels which we will close out at from
IS cents to $1.OO per yard.
At these prices am safe in saying that
no better bargain was ever offered in the
carpet line to the people of Portland.
These are not shopworn or damaged
goods in any particular and all of them
are desirable patterns.
We shall commence the sale at the
above prices, for cash only, on Saturday,
January 14th.
The number Of carpets in quite limited,
and it will be well to call early and obtain
the advantage of a first selection.
Respectfully,
JAMES S. MARRETT.
