DEERING.


The new electric lights, which are to
be furnished to the city for the next five
years under the contract with the Marsh
brothers, are now. being put in operation,
with nine arc lights between Deering
bridge and Woodfords and incandescents
in other parts of the city. AS the War
rens of Westbrook who have been doing
the lighting, are running their plant un-
til the new lights shall be in perfect
working order, the effect is quite brilliant
when both systems are in operation. 1t
will probably by several days before the
new system its in it's best working order.
1t is understood that one of the dynamos
does not come up to what the manu-
facturers intended and will have to be
exchanged for another. This will cause
some delay.
The new system differs from the old in
the use of many incandescents in the place
of the few arc lights. These mean
descents are placed in the regions where
the old arc lights were distri buted. This
distri button is, perhaps, under all the
circumstances, as well as the city gov
eminent could do and keep general peace
in the city As time goes on, however,
some of the inequalities of the plan will
have to be corrected. For instance, the
road from Lunt's Corner, which has SO
few houses that it may without injustice
be called country road, is literally sup
piled with a row of incandescents ex-
tending It's entire length, while populous
streets at Woodfords, have not SO much
as single light. 1t is probable that be-
fore long the more Jhickly settled
portions of the village will be considered.
Westbrook Seminary.
The friends of Westbrook Seminary are
engaged in raising money for the removal
tion of the old chapel. This building,
built about 1885, was thedirst structure
placed on what is now. the beautiful
campus of the seminary. 1t is built of
hewn tim bers according to the rules of
old time builders. For long time it
was the only building of the seminary,
and two generations Of students have
worn it's door stills and floors almos +
through. Steam heating and inte rior
renovation are the improvements pro-
posed.
The new electric lights in Stroudwater
and vicinity are ready for use.

An Attractive Route West.

The visiting tourist from the western states may not be aware that he can purchase tickets for his return trip via New York and Washington at as reasonable and perhaps lower rates than those in effect by the northern lines. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is offering low rates to all important points in the west and south and a favorable opportunity is thus presented to enable visitors from these sections to make their homeward journey via Washington and through the beautiful scenery of this route. Excellent train service, with dining cars, etc., is pro- vided to Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis and intermediate points. The route is also that of the famous Royal Blue Line between New York and Washing ton, on which is operated the finest and fastest system of trains in the world.
 For information as to rates and stop over privileges write to A. J. Simmons, 2l1 Washington street, Boston. a27 '2t

 August is the last summer month, although summer weather will undoubtedly project itself into September as usual.
 South Carolina finished the summer of 1886 with an earthquake in Charleston on the last day of that August. This August has witnessed a sort of political earthquake in Washington, but notwith- standing the upheavals of politics and the 6ckleness of finances, the Big Store keeps right on its way and rejoices in tbe fact of a comparatively prosperous year. Having been rooted and grounded in the soil of sound business principles for nearly half a century a strong and vigor- ous growth has marked each succeeding year until now, woman's fondest dream is re- alized, viz. a METROPOLITAN TRADING ESTABLISH MENI III New Haven.
 Storms and hurricanes bend and twist the historic elms, but the sturdy ones don't budge. So like the rugged elms we stand un- moved by the sweeping hur- ricane winds of financial agitation and turmoil. Is this youv trading-home? elf not, why not?" ".

The dispensing law OF South Carolina
is having hard time of it, or at least the
governor and his supporters are having
the time enforcing it. Last week while
the state constables were at Darlington
securing evidence against the moon
sinners operating there, they were
attacked, and two Of the constables and
two citizens were killed in the battle.
The people Of Darlington rose ia arms
and hunted the remaining state officers
with sho'guns. The governor called out
the militia, md number OF companies
threw down their arms and disbanded
rather than obey his orders. He says
the rebellion must be- suppressed at all
hazards, and the law upheld. The whis
key question is serious one wherever it
;IEasss. and when shot guns and rifles are
drought An to help settle 1t the difficulty
is not lessepad,
