Interesting Data Collected and Compiled by

AUGUSTA is GROWING.
Many Buildings Erected This Year, Espec
tally on the East Side.

Augusta has had many handsome dwell
lings added to her already large number
this year. Nearly all are two story build.
ings and have substantial foundations
either of brick or granite. Those who have
built this year are people who will live here
for some time to come at least.
Every ward in Augusta has had some
building but Ward will lead the list with
its ten or more fine dwellings. In this
ward new street which was opened about
two years ago, has been favored with five
new houses this summer. The East side
has increased its number Of dwellings more
this season than has the West side Of the
river.
By the beginning of the new year
the new Masonic temple, Macomber, Hill
and Wights block and the Lithgow library
will substantially testify to what has been
done here during the summer in the build
ing line.
The city has been improved also in va
rious other ways this season. The streets
for instance have never before received the
attention that they have during the past
four months.
The city felt the business depression
when the f. 9. Allen publishing house
suspended business. but there is yet hope
that some manufacturing enterprise may be
started in the large buildings recently oc-
cupied by that firm. A scheme, that of ex-
tending the electric road to the East side,
will probably mature in a few years. 1t is
hoped that the statues proposed, in honor Of
the distinguished Augusta men, deceased +,
will meet with consideration and that two
at least may be erected.

NEW MAGAZINE RIFLE.
Col. harrington and Gen. Choate
Give 1t a thorough Test.
n Properly Sighed it Would Be Great Eav.
oriie With Marksmen.

Col E. c. Harrington, inspector general
of rifle practice, and W. s. Choate, inspec-
tor general, gave the new magazine rifle
something Of a test yesterday, not so varied
as has been given it by some who have put
i'tj ri.I, but sufficient to form an idea as
/, its possibilities, and observe some of its
deiiciencies. 1.-THE report of other tests
has led me-" remarked Col. Harrington,
80 think the arm was poor substitute for
the Springfield rifle now in use, think
the test Gen. Choate and myself gave it.,
yesterday, proves that the rifle properly
sighted, is greatly superior to the Spring
field.
Twenty shots were taken at 200 yards, at
rest at the "a" government target. 1t was
sighted at the lower edge Of the "bulls eye,"
and the hits were about Is inches above
and six inches at the left, in cluster of a
lO-inch circle. Gen. Choate then fred the
same numer at 300 yards distant, with the
came result, except that the cluster was 10
inches lower. The elevation used was the
lowest possible, that of 300 yards. 1 then
took one shot at 500 yards, with the 400
yard elevation, and the hit was two feet and
one-half high and about the same distance
to the left, making o two on the "B" target.
then sighted correspondingly low and to
the right, and put the next in the "bulls
eye" l made three consecutive bulls eyes
and two close tours.
"Gen. Choate then fred 10 shots at same
distance, making five consecutive bulls
eyes and total Of A out of so. The
wind was troublesome, but it evidently did
not affect the bullet so much as from the
Springfield Although the test was
limited, it satisfied me that the rifle would
be far superior to the one now used, pro-
vided it had proper sights. cannot
understand why an elevation is used, that,
at 200 yards, the ordinary rifieman
would overshoot mans head, and if aimed
at the &C inter- Of the body would generally
mics the mark at the left. Every marks
man will at once lose interest in his rifle,
when he finds it will not hit where it is
held. You could not induce target practice
with sights so poorly arranged. There was
little or no smoke, and the recoil not more
tn In half that of the Springfield. The foul
ing was not great, though the barrel became
heated considerably more than the same
shot would have heated the one in use now.
"If sensible sights could be put on, and
properly adjusted, and wind gauge COM
bined, oven as good as the Burlington |
should regard the rifle far superior to the
Springfield, and one that the marksmsn or
sharpshooter would fall in love with at
once. There is no question but what the
rifle magazine works finely; the pull is.
pleasant, and the recoil not troublesome
enough to effect good holding-the powder
is almost smokeless and the strength very
uniform-if it had sights, as good as the
Burlington" it would be more accurate
than the Springfield"

persons. The classes are second and
third, and compare with our first and
second. A striking feature of travelling
upon one of these trains is the very appar'
ent ease with which the start is made, there
being no putting Of the engine and jerking
as on our trains. The string of cars il
moved apparently as easy as you would
move carriage. At the various stopping
places are hotels or large lunch houses. al

very noticeable thing is that the chief OBJ

fact you are requested to inform the Off

while in the valleys the lakes, with their
clear blue surfaces, sparkled under the rays
OF the rising sun. All the travellers will
tell you that the Alps never grow tiresome,
for being richly endowed with the beauties
OF nature, a lasting charm is given them.
Venice, the city with water streets. is
most interesting place to visit and about
it are scenes long to be remembered. You
can be rowed about in gondola all day
for 81. Our trip up the river Rhine was
grand one. Old castles and picturesque
banks give this river beauty world wide.
The sloping hills on its shores are covered
with grape vines and the fruit hangs in
great clusters.

the cities ON the tour. The hotels are gen.

dress of the people of Europe is becoming

Mr.. and Mrs. James Mccormack came
here from Portland, Wednesday, and went
to Charles Shaw's homestead in Sidney,
lust over the boundary between there and
Augusta, and attempted to take away girl.
The girls name is Smith and she is under
charge of the State Industrial School. She
is daughter of Mrs. Mccormack, who has
been married three times. From the story
related before Recorder Goddard, yester-
day afternoon, it seemed that the girl was
committed to the industrial school after her
father and mother had become implicated
in drunken row in Portland. The girl
WAS allowed to leave the school two years
years ago, she then being IL years of age,
and has since lived at Mr.. Shaw's home
stead. Yesterday afternoon, Mr.. and Mrs.
Mccormack went to Mr.. Shaw's and
would soon have stolen away with
the girl had not Mrs. Shaw and the
two boys interfered. Quite struggle took
place. Mr.. Shaw followed them to
Augusta, to have a warrant sworn out.
All appeared before Recorder Goddard, but
no warrant was issued, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Mccormack were warned of what would
be the consequences if they intruded again.
Mrs. Mccormack said the girl is is years
of age, and promise was made to her that
abe could return home when at that age.
Mr.. Shaw said the books at the Industrial
school show that her age is IA. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mccormack left for Hallowell, last
evening, to visit the Industrial school and
see what might be done.

even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated bleedings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
eopious expectoration tincluding tubercu-
lar matter, great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
zeal 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
trial of Golden Medical Discovery, p
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasses, in curative power over this
fatal Inalady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had beer 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 hypophos-
phltes had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred naladies have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, on re-
celpt of address and six cents in stamps.
