Old Shin Yard.

The new Masonic temple will stand over
what was once great ship yard. Since the
workmen have begun on the lower portion of
the foundation they have dug up heaps
of chips. The exact size of this ancient
ship yard cannot be estimated correctly,
but it covered large portion of the land
round about where the temple will be built.
The best guess seems to indicate that this
yard was in running order about 40 years
ago. A JOURNAL man was talking with a
man, yesterday, who says he remembered
when ships were built there. He also said
there was another yard near it, where the
shelter ship was constructed, in which the
late S. s. Brooks was heavy owner.
Last Tuesday. while the men were dig
ging, one of them found $3.50 gold piece,
bearing the date Of 1913. These chips, which
have been dug up, were buried about six or
eight feet deep, and when reached were found
to be three feet deep, after all these years of
rotting.

Joseph A. Homan. Esq, of this city, saw
the first balloon ascension ever made in
Boston. The scene was on the grounds
Just south of the common, aud in the year
1926 or 1927. The name of the aeronaut
was Lsuriat, Mr.. Homan thinks the father OF
the junior member of the old publishing firm
of Estes & Lauriat. The place was enclosed
by high fence, and the seats built in am
phthester style. The balloon was construct
ed of gold heater skin. A strong northwest
wind was prevailing when the balloon be-
came filled with gas, and the word was
given to go. Lauriat took his place in the
car, but as it arose the balloon struck
against the high fence, tipped the balloon
ist out, and continued on its way, alighting
somewhere in the vicinity of Dorchester,
where it was picked up uninjured. Nothing
daunted. Lauriat made numerous ascensions
after that.

Went 10 The Bottom.

That well known verse in the book of
books Seek and we shall find" seems to be
Marshal Beams motto. Since his appoint
ment as city marshal he has taken more
"spirits" than any imbiber in this
or any other city. He has been found up
before the sun in search of "drink" and
found it.
Perhaps of all his experiences in
Selling the fiery fluid no stranger
circumstance happened than at the boat
Friday morning. For several days his
eagle eye had noticed large black trunk,
which had aroused his suspicious that prob
ably there was something Sin it, Yester-
day morning he approached the expressman
and said he would like to look into it. The
agent said he supposed he could, but would
not open 1t. A crowbar was at hand and
that useful article was made to serve for a
KEY. twas probed under the lid and in a
short time the trunk was in several prices.
The marshal began to handle over the
bundles and it appeared doubtful whether
or not he would find anything for which he
was in search. Finally the bottom was
reached and there stood two as innocent
looking jugs of whiskey as you ever saw.

Gall seems to be the characteristic of
some folks. An Augusta man took delight
yesterday in relating of his experience in a
restaurant run on the European style. He
took seat at the table and passed as an
epicure. "Whst will you have?' asked
the pretty waiter girl. what will dish
of haIibut cost" he asked. Fifteen cents. -
''Gravey thrown in ~ Yes GLOW
much will cup of tea COST he inquired.
Ten cents replied the waiter. Bread
thrown in?" yes" "Well then give me
some bread and gravey," said the man with
as much freedom as though the food was
his own. ..y

HAHscom DISCHARGED
BY U. S. Commissioner choate, on Charge Of
Breaking Into Hartland Postoffice.

George A. Hanson of Hartland, was be-
fore U. S. Commissioner W. S. Choate,
Friday afternoon, charged with breaking
into tie postoffice at that place, on the night
Of April 2. Albert w. Bradbury, T. s.
district attorney, appeared in behalf of tie
government and F. e. Southland for the
defendant. The witnesses were: For the
government, A. w. Miller, George Robbins,
r. <. Latty, Hartland; Lemont Robinson.
Palmyra; for defence, F. w. Martin, ST.
Adams; F. E. Buker, Albert Burton ard
s. B. Brooks, Hartland.
The government claimed that defendant
had knowledge, or told of the affair the
day after it happened. The defence held
out that he did not mention it till the fol-
lowing Friday and was informed of it after
the matter had become quite generally
known. The hearing was of two hours du-
ration and the prisoner was discharged, the
testimony being insufficient to convict hirn.
A trial was held at Hartland in April and
Hanscom was bound over to come before
the court at Skowhegan, but the govern
ment officials got hold of it and thought the
affair should come before the commissioner.
They will now await the action of the court 1T
Skowhegan. The government did not have
the witnesses present that would have been
of most value. not knowing who they were
till the trial was nearly ready to be held.
1t is alleged that Hanscom has been in SIM
liar trouble before and was, it is under
stood, before the the Bangor municipal
court for petty theft.

Nothing Strange.

Intelligent people, who realize the inn
portant part the blood holds in keeping the
body in normal condition. find nothing
strange in the number of diseases that
Hoods Sarsaparilla is able to cure. So
many troubles result from impure blood
that the best way to treat them is through
the blood, and it is far better to use only
harmless vegetable compounds than to
dose to excess with quinine, calomel and
other drugs. By treating the blood, with
Hoods Sarsaparilla, scrofula, salt rheun
and what are commonly called ''humors !
dyspepsia, catarrh, rheumatism, neuralgia,
consumption and other troubles that origi
nate in impurities of the blood or impaired
circulation, can all be cured.

THE ARoosTook RAILROAD.
President BurIeigh Chats With a Journal Re.
porter on the Progress Of lis Work.

Hon. A. A. Burleigh, president Of the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad, was
in the city, Yesterday, the guest
Of his brother, Ex-Governor Bur-
li,h. When asked by JOURNAL re-
porter how the work upon the new road was
progressing he said
"We are getting along very nicely The
grading on the road north of Houl-
ton to the Meduxnekeag stream at
Monticello is completed and in readiness
for laying the rails-a distance Of IA miles.
There are now 1900 men and 800 horses at
work grading on the main line between Mon
ticello and Caribou, and 400 men and 100
horses at work on the grading of the Fort
Fairfield branch. We expect that the grading
will be completed to within mile of
presque Isle village by August 10. The
bridge at the second crossing of the Medux-
pekeag in Houlton is nearly completed.
"When will you begin to lay track?"
"We expect to be able to do so by August
/ We shall ballast at the same time,
leaving the road in condition for immediate
use. The work will be vigorously pushed,
and the company hopes to have trains rur-
ming to Pressure Isle early in September in
good season to move the immense Aroos-
took potato crop
"What is the outlook for that crop?"
Every encouraging. From a careful
estimate of the potatoes planted, and from
present crop Indications, it is thought that
there will be yield Of fully 100000
bushels in the county this season. From
5000 900 to G,O000 900 bushels will be
sbipped to an outside market over the B. &
A. Road. That will leave 100000 or
5000 900 bushels for seed, for home con-
sump,ion, and for use of the starch fac
tories, the products of which will also be
shipped over our road.
There will be other crops to move also,
will there not2" +
ayes, all the crops in the county are
looking remarkably well. The yield of hay
this season is very large and much of twill
be shipped away.
"But won't low prices affect it?"
IL think not. anticipate that hay will
bring good prices before another summer.
While it is true that we have had very
heavy crop here in Maine, it is also true
that in some Of the other New England
states, notably Massachusetts and Vermont,
the crop is reported to be very light. /
think, therefore, that there will be a good
demand for Maine hay in these and other
states
"'rhe outlook for business on the B. & A.
is very encouraging, then?"
Eyes, we are well pleased with the pros
pect. The outlook is that the volume of
freight business will exceed our most san
guine expectations

crossed so far as to induce repeated bleed
ings from the lungs, severe lingering cough
with copious expectoration Including tu-
bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex-
IRENE emaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to US as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
our word for it. They have, in nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emissions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypo-
phosphites had also been faithfully tried
in vain.

A young man in the city came very near
losing his heart the other night. Perhaps
it might be said he had a double escape.
He was out late visiting his intimate lady
friend and had left the stable door I'M
locked that he might gain entrance to
the house early in the morning without
disturbing anyone in the house. He came
in between II and l o'clock and noticed
his horse had hut little bedding. He
fumbled around to stall to get some straw
and as he reached down he run his hands
fair into mans face who was enjoying a
nights repose. You can imagine his fright.

WILL BE NO FIGHT.
The Corbett-Jackson Negotiations
Have Fallen Through.
Peter Wouldn't Sign the Contract
Because He Thinks Jim Wants FREQ
Advertising.


CHICAGO, sept. 1.-THE efforts Of tho
Sioux City Athletic club to bring of q
fight between Corbett and jackson have
resulted in a complete failure, jackson re-
fusing absolutely TO put his name to the
articles Of agreement, as signed by Cor
bett
Edward Lloyd, representing the Sioux
City club, met jackson and his manager,
"Parson" Davies, at tho Briggs House at
noon yesterday in the presence Of good
sized crowd Of sporting men and news
paper representatives. Little time was
spent In preliminaries, and Mr.. Lloyd pro-
duced the papers which Corbett signed in
New York. Jackson glanced over them,
and at once said they would not do. II
will fight for your purse and side bet Of
$1,000" he said, "but the fight will have
to come of within three months"
"That's the idea, exactly" said Davies
"Mr. Coroett Is on the stage, and we don't
intend to advertise him until next May
or June. This agreement calls for the
fight to take place
Between May Is and June Is.
Now, you people name the place and name
the time within the next three months,
and Jackson will sign"
This Lloyd said he could not do, and
Davies proceeded to pick flaws with the
papers. He declared that the deal did not
look honest; that no place was named;
that there was no specification as to
whether the men would fight 10 rounds or
10 years, or TO a finish, and that the whole
matter chad peculiar" look.
Jackson chimed In with an objection to
fighting ''any place" 81 want to fight
before club and In a house, he said. II
don't want the affair to take place In q
field or tent"
Lloyd became considerably excited over
the fun that Davies poked at the papers,
but kept his temper and tried hard to OBJ
tain the necessary signature. He declared
positively, however, that he could not
bring off the fight in the time specified by
jackson.
"We have got TO have good wea ather to
get a good crowd" he said. "I want to
See the Thing Go Through.
but there is no use talking of bringing IL
off in three months"
'It's three months or nothing" de-
clared Davies, and jackson added, That's
right"
'well, it's off," said Davies, as he picked
up his hat. II didn't like the looks Of
this thing any way"
jackson followed, and the pair left the
hotel. 1t was announced later that Jack
son would leave for New York tonight
and Immediately sail for the West Indies,
whence he will go TO London.
1T is apparently useless to try TO get a
fight with Corbett," the pugilist said. II
couldn't afford to lay around doing moth
ing all winter while Corbett was on tho
stage making money out Of the advertise
ment this fight would give him. The
thing Is clear off now. I'll try London q
while"
