moyal of the Iron Works.

Gen. Thomas W. Hyde, president of the
Bath, Ne, Iron Works, has created sensa-
tion by n letter to the public concerning the
report that the company will not rebuild
there but will remove elsewhere He blames
the city government for not making use OF
the AndroscogSin water supply, and says the
loss by fire in Bath would have been much
less il the city had n reliable water supply.
The city government was petition ID by tho
manufacturers OF the town to take advan-
tage OF the Androscoggin supply in case OF
fire. but the petition was laid aside, and Gen.
Hyde accuses the City Council of mismanage-
ment and negligence. In conclusion he says
"The Bath Iron Works are here for busi-
ness, and If offers from other places make tito
our interest to move we are going, and very

THE KEARSARGE.
Proposition 10 60 TO the Rescue OF
the Old ..MnrrIOr.'

The Merritt Wrrcking Company Of New
York has made proposition to the Navy De-
partment to save the wreck Of the old cor
vette Kearsarge, now lying on Roncador
Reef The terms are said to be reasonable
but the matter will be held in abeyance blythe
department until the arrival Of Admiral Stan
ton and the officers and crew OF the kear-
sarge at New York.
Admiral Stanton informed the department.
prior to sailing from Colon. that there was
little chance OF saving the wreck, and this
opinion is adopted by naval officials, who
think the effort to save the old craft will cost
more than the result will be worth, except
from a sentimental standpoint.
Mr.. Blair, of New Hampshire, introduced a
bill in the House to appropriate $40, 900 to
rescue the armament Of the Kearsarge.
