J. NJ. Turner attended to the injury.
A couple drove into this city, Tuesday,
and were married by one of our clergymen.
The ceremony had such an effect upon the
young groom, that in his haste to get out
of the view of a number OF bystanders,
he neglected TO unhitch the horse, and 1t
took him quite q while to ascertain the
cause of the steed's strange actions.
DR.. Ernest H. Wheeler. formerly of this
city, who has settled 10 Rockland, has al
ready acquired good amount of practice
there and has decided to associate himself
with DR.. Hitchcock, one of the leading ply
sicians of that city, which is great compli-
ment to our young doctor, and his many
friends in this city may well congratulate
him on the rapid progress he is making IN
his chosen profession.
The Gardiner high school congress have
elected officers in both branches. The

dreth was elected speaker, Hattie Harlow,
secretary and Edward Livermore, sergeant

did during its last session.

The bicycle is soon to meet with a great
| md very strong competitor in the shape OF
4 tricycle. the recent invention of Mr.,
Arthur M. Burnham of this city. 1t is
surely one of the greatest inventions of the
| age and will, it is claimed, be superior to
| the bicy Gle in speed, comfort and conven-
| fence and r. qures much less force to propel
it. Climbing any inclines where a horse
can take a wagon, and thai, too, with but
little more power than it takes, too, run the
| machine on the level. A family of
four with baggage can ride on this
machine (if arranged with two seats) and
the motive power can be furnished, if nee
essary, by an ordinary healthy woman with
out any great amount of fatigue; in fact, a
child ten years Of age can v it'll ease furnish
all the motive power (Which is done with
the hands alone, that is required to force
| over rough road. II. A. Seymore, E.q.,
the well known patent attorney at Washing
ton, d. c., who has the business of secur-
log patent on this tricycle. in all its parts,
says that he is highly plt ased with
it, that the ideas are entirely new,
and among the many hundreds OF
patents issued for tricycles, bicycles and
velocipedes, this does not in single instance
conflict with any of them. He also says
that the ideas embodied in this machine
must certainly revolutionize the entire BIZ
cycle world. One of these machines was
built in q rough manner out of such crude
material as could hastily be found at the
home of the inventor, and in its imperfect
condition a great number of people have
rode it, men, women and children with
equal success. The tricycle. can be retailed
for (S100) one hundred dollars, and quite a
large number of orders have been received
by the inventor for these machines by
those who have riden the rough sample at
his home. The tricycle. has no compli-
Gated machinery, the gearing is very
simple. By special request of those inter-
ested in it we must at present withhold a
description of its workings. All who have
examined it and seen it on the road speak
in the highest praise of its ability to do all
that is claimed for it. Several inf1uen-
cial business men of Gardiner are FL ancially
interested in this new invention and they
intend to form a stock company with a
capital of quarter of a million dollars and
establish a plant TO manufacture it in this
city, after they have built a few in order
to perfect all of its features. Mr.. BurDham,
the inventor, was born in this city 80 years
ago, he is a natural mechanic and inventor.
At the age of 8 years he constructed a
clock which was run for years and kept ac-
curate time. The fact that he has been
allowed 90 patents on his inventions for
which he has applied, places him on
the list with successful inventors.
Many of his inventions have been
patented in foreign countries and a
large number are being manufactured at
the present time. Recently one of his
patents was sold to parties in Pennsylvania
on its merits for $1,000. Another in
Boston for the same price. Still another
brought $4,000, these are all being manu-
featured and put on the market today.
There is no interest in this last Invention of
Mr.. Burnham's for sale, as those who con-
troll it have plenty of means at their COM
m4nd to place 1t in the market.
