NEW ELECTRIC ROAD.
Talk Of Having a Line Built on
the East Side.
Scheme Being Considered by Directors Of
Present Electric Road.

The matter of having an electric railroad
on the East side is receiving considerable
attention, and the people living over the
river think favorably Of it. How long it
will be, if ever, before the road is built de-
ponds upon several important things. How
to obtain capital? may be question not
easily solved. Will it pay? is another prob
lem. How about the connections with the
present road over the bridge9 This last lisa
drawback from the fact that the bridge
is narrow and track built either in
the middle or to one eide might interfere
with teams crossing. One man proposed
that the lower walk be covered that in case
of storm it afford safe passage across to
connect with the cars at the other end. H
The talked of line it is proposed to ex-
tend to Pettingill's Corner, down Bangor
street. From Cony street down Hospital
street to the Maine Insane Hospital. Per-
haps arrangements could be effected
whereby the line might be built across from
the hospital to Arsenal street and the track
laid on that street to connect with Cony.
1t is not an empty idea and the directors and
stockholders of the Augusta, Hallowell &
Gardiner Electric Road have been talking
Of the building of line on the East side.
Ward six has added 10 new dwellings to
its list this season and Ward five has had
some building going on. That part
of the city is growing and many
fine house lots are yet in demand. Y
II think that the East side people win sub
scribe literally toward the stock for build
ing an electric road" remarked business
man living in that part of the city. He fur
Their remarked, 81 also believe it would be
much better to lay track on this side than
to build up over Cushnoc Heights"
Quite large number of people Irving on
the East side 60 to and from Hallowell and
Gardiner a great deal and would patronize
the new road. Persons coming to the city
and wishing to visit the hospital would find
it cheaper and faster to take an electric car
on Water street and be landed there than
to hire team. Arrangements might be
made to do q large amount of hauling for
the hospital.
May it be but a short time when the car
will arrive at the corner of Bridge and
Water streets and the conductor say,
Change cars here for the East side. Cony,
Bangor, Hospital and Arsenal streets, Maine

The school laws of Maine &
Are hard TO explain;
The attempt makes man feel green;
And lawyers look glum
When to them we come,
And ask, "What does this school law mean"
In eighteen 50,
BY reading, you'll see,
Maine school laws suffered revision.
There are 1914
Sections, or more,
In their wonderful provisions.
Then in 1898,
Again you will see,
There ia another rendition;
Some sections long
IL this revised song
OF school district abolition.
Now can you tell me,
So that all may zee.
How much o. the first law mentioned,
In the last Is found
All valid and sound,
So that it cannot be questioned?
In the first we find
, Provisions most kind.
Sections ailowing-free gra-tis-
Some twenty per cent.
To small districts went.
SO section 10 says the rate ia.
Then down toward the close
A section there shows,
That ten per cent. might be taken
For making repairs
Each year, II declares,
Without which the schools looked f0rsaken.
But in the last law
There must be flaw,
At least a want of precision;
For il does not state
Nor name any rate
Concerning school fund division.
In general way
Ii has this to say,
"All school terms now must be equal"
9 But does not decide
How we shall divide
School funds, as proved by the sequel.
The old district PLAN
With "school agent" man,
Has been by both laws done away;
But schools still remain
With expenses, tits plain
As when the old law had its sway.
Now why should the State
Its interest abate.
And care for these school houses less
Because of the change
In owners? IT'S strange.
And hardly like Maine, confess.
II IL was her share
To help to repair,
As said in the ten per cent clause,
Maine never will frown
when asked by the town
To obey this wisest Of laws.
That II is repealed
Is nowhere revealed
In the 1898 rendition,
And If not found there
Will you tell me where?
1t remains legal provision.
For this is my claim,
The State stands the same
In duties to all public schools,
by whomever owned.
BY district or town;
Changed owners does not change STATE rule'.

Nicholas Nfcaise Dead.

Nicholas Nicaise died at his resi-
dence in this city Tuesday morning
Sept. 9th, 1894. aged forty-nine years
and eleven months.
The deceased was a native of France
but he has residedin this city for more
than thirty years. He was a miller by
trade and until about ten or twelve
years ago worked at his trade. When
he quit the milling business he started
in the saloon business and for some
years did a splendid business. Inthis
business he drank to excess andruined
himself financially and physically. He
went to Hot Springs, Ark, about a
month ago in the hope of regaining
his health, but his trip to the Springs
was too late and he came back home
where he fingered about a week before
death relieved him of his misery. He
leaves a wife and several children to
mourn his loss.

A Dead Man Tells NO Tales.

That a dead man tells no tales is a
true saying and one a be convinced
by attending the probate courts and
watching the grand rascals rushing in
claims against his estate that they
dared not present to the mar while he
was living. There are people who
make their living gouging the estates
of the dead. We all know this, but
We are lot interested in the estates
and what business have we meddling?
The Probate Judges know it too but
when the rascals swear to their claims
and have witnesses to swear for them
too there is nothing to do but allow
the claims, robbery or no robbery.

long that to see n gathering of men on

when the railroad men got their pay
and began, as all railroad men do, to
blow it in for Democratic medicine the
editor OF the Republican was mortified.
He wanted the county officials to call
on Cleveland for troops to guard the
good pious citizens of that long lost
town.

of people from the cities in the north.
One of these boats landed here the
other day and the gentleman who had
charge of it told a representative of

family south for the winter. He said
he lived in Chicago, that he could not
make a living in the city during the
winter months and he had by hard
work got to the Mississippi River
with his family, built himself a little
boat and was going to winter in a
warmer climate. The gentleman says

Now It's an Aluminium Wedding.

The already long list of jubilees and
family celebrations has been enriched
by a novelty in the line<of wedding fes-
tivlties. The family and friends of a
rich manufacturer living in the neigh
borhood of Berlin deemed the interval
between the silver and golden wedding
to be altogether too long, and halving
it introduced last week an aluminium
wedding by offering the happy couple
on the occasion of the completion OF
BIZ years Of welded life a choice va
riety of presents made of aluminium. If
this novel idea should take, the Alumni
UNI industry has a great futurebefore it.

cities the one most given to societies and
