GOOD ROAD BUILDING.

Some Permanent Work Done on Cumber-
land Street in this City and Forest Ave
nue. In Deering.
The steam roller has completed what is
apparently perfect piece of road on Cum
berland street from Pearl to Myrtle. After
the road was finally fenced off and all trav-
ell stopped, as should have been done in the
first place, the work went rapidly forward.
The large rocks were at the bottom; then
the small rocks, of nearly the same con-
formity of size that the European road
builders use, We're spread over ana
rolled sufficiently and skillfully till the
whole was solid mass of small stones,
over which wefsaw bicycle pass without
jar of his wheel or a trace of disturbance
beneath him. That was before the top
layer of fine stuff was put on. To roll a
bed of crushed rocks with a great steam
roller requires skill and experience. 1t is
necessary to ''fasten' the edges of the street
first, for otherwise, if the great weight of
the roller passed over the rounded middle
it would squeeze the rocks out at the sides
and fatten the whole thing. The edges
must be rolled and rolled till made into a
sold block, firmly fastened in the ground.
The top layer has been put on and rolled
and the whole road looks now like ball
room floor; all of which is very much as it
should be- The roller is now at work on
the crushed stone between Myrtle and
Chestnut street.
Also in Deering street Commissioner
Walker has done good job in that section
of Forest Avenue that has been graded,
from the P. & R. track down to Coyle's
gully.
The road was made very nearly right, at
least. the right method was pursued. The
layer of small stones just under the top lay
er of smallest, was not SO uniform in size
as those used by Commissioner Staples here
in Portland and some of the large ones will
probably work up. But the road was built

There is no question but that it is perma-
nently better than any other section of
Forest Avenue is or ever was

A SAD CASE.
A Young Boston Man and His Mental
Affection That Caused His Detention at
the Police Station Yesterday.

. The first of June young man named @.
H. knights, who lives at East Boston,
passed through Portland on his way to
Freeport in company with his wife. Free
port is her native place.
Mr.. knights had very serious illness last
winter and barely pulled through with his
life. His brain was somewhat afflicted and
the illness left him not entirely well either
mentally or physically.
A week ago last Sunday he was brought
to Portland from Freeport to be operated
upon at the Maine General Hospital for vari-
cose vains in his leg. The operation was per-
formed Monday and he remained at he
hospital till last Saturday.
BY that time his mental illness had in
creased SO much that he was very trouble
some. He passed Sunday at the West End
hotel with an attendant.
Sunday night he escaped and with his
crutch limpe as far as DR.. Kings house
on Congress street. 1t was four O'Clock in
the morning, but the doctor happened to be
up and out DOORS and Immediately endeav-
ored to care for the man. He summoned a
hack and attempted to drive back to the
hotel, but whenever the hack stunned in a

After good deal of trouble it was learned
that he had friends in the city and he was
driven to their house. There he stayed till
he got out again Monday, and was arrested
on the street and brought to the police
station. He caused good deal of trouble
then and had to be put in cell.
DR.. King would not allow his wife to see
him and she went back to Freeport on the
boat. Monday night he passed at the house
of the friend, but Tuesday he got out again
and Deputy Hartnett found him on the
street wearing Chinese shoes and with his
crutch. He was taken tosthe police station,
this was about noon, and all the afternoon
and evening it kept on officer busy taking

Railroad Matters.

The Boston and Maine are having rather
hard time in inaugerating their new
signal and switch system at the Union
depot, Boston. Monday, the first day it was
put in operation outward trains were from
one to four hours late in getting out of the
station. The Eastern division, Bangor
train, which should have left at nine
o'clock, did not get away till 1910. The $50,
Western division train, was detained about
two hours. There was no distinction or
partially shown, even special to attend
wedding ceremony was held till long after
the appointed hour, and picnics were held
in the station instead of the cool and shady
groves arranged for. Most people took the
matter philosophically, some even consider
ing it huge joke. Tuesday, although the
trouble was not entirely abated it was Won
derfully improved and the railroad people
expect to have everything running as
smooth as oil in few days.
