A Weighty Piece.

A great iron girder has arrived for the
new building, which is being erected by
w. H. Gannett. Its size is so great that
it attracted attention all along the route.
An enterprising Portland reporter laid
bis eyes upon it and wrote as follows
"a steel plate girder bridge marked for
W. II. Gannctt, Augusta, Nc j, passed
through this city, yesterday. As Mr..
Cannot is city engineer at Augusta the
inference is plain that the Capital city is
to have new bridge somewhere"
As Mr.. W. H. Gannett is not Augusta &
city engineer but the publisher of Com
fort and other papers, the inference is
lost, and consequently it is not plain that
the capital city will have new bridge.
The girder is to support the flooring fol
the annex building Of the Comfort brick
block 1t weighs 6 x tons, and though
unwieldy In proportion, was safely trans
ported by Lon Cross to the other side OF
the river, without tearing down any
houses.

THE OTHER SIDE.
What Capt, Douglass Of the Bates Team
Has TO Say.

Next to the brutality of the foot bal
game in point of objection, is the argu
ment which follows a dispute over the
sport. The Colby men strenuously OBJ
jected to the treatment they claim to have
received at the hands of Bates, but Capt
Douglass of the latter team denies that
Colby was treated otherwise than fairly
In an interview with the Lewiston Jour
nal, he says:
1--WE won the game on Saturday from
Colby fairly and we fought it under diff
cultles We think MIR. Murphy was per
fectly fair, and every one who understands
the game apd saw it thinks so, too. All
the umpire did in this game was to give
the ball to Colby twice, oncs for holding
and once for off side play by Bates, and he
gave Bates distance-l0 yards-four times
for off side play by Colby. The captain
of the Colby team was as much an offender
as any one The umpire told Jordan that
if he saw anything wrong on the Bates
side to tell him and he would bring them
to account. They are probably kicking
about the last touchdown. Jordan, who
was lining for them, called time with
an ordinary watch just rs we snapped the
ball. Hayden had stop watch and Yves
keeping time Jordan did not call the
attention of the referee, Clark, to the fact
that he had called time. 1t is the place Of
the referee to call time, and he acknowl-
edged after the game that he had not
called it. Hayden said that there were 1C
seconds more to play in when the touch
down was made. He stopped his watch
and we all saw it.
Their referee did not use the whistle,
while Mr.. Murphy did. Another thing
which do not think anyone will object tc
was the fact that Mr.. Murphy ruled
Thompson of Colby out of the game fol-
good reasons He had struck Hanscome
and he has black eye to show for it.
1.-The whole game was played by last
years rules and our men were playing
strictly by this years rules. They had
the advantage of us in that. Bates had
only three men back of the line and they
had eight This ought to have given them
the game in common sense if they had
been our equals. We play them again, a
week from Wednesday, and it will be
played under this years rules or none

BELLOWS HOLD THEIR OWN.
Blacksmiths Stick to Them Notwithstand.
iag the Newer Power Flowers,

Inc blacksmith bellows has three
boards. When the bellows is set up in po-
sitlon the middle board is fixed the up
per and lower boards are movable. There
Is a valve in the middle board and one In
the lower board. When the bellows is not
IN use, the lower board falls as far as the
leather will permit it, and that compart
mcnt is then filled with air. With the
working Of the lever End the raising Ct the
lower board the air in the lower compart-
ment is forced through the valve in the
middle board into the upper compartment,
which is the reservoir. whence it flows
through tho nozzle of the bellows into the
lire. When the pressure from below ceases,
the valve in the middle board closes, and
the air is then forced out from the upper
compartment or reservoir of the bellows
oy the weight ofythc upper board. Some
times this board Is weighted to make it
eHpei the air more rapidly and forcibly.
Inc continuance of the blast without the
working OF the lever, caused by the gradu
ally sinking upper board of the bellows,
may last for IA quarter of a minute. 1t is
a highly priced characteristic of the bel.
lows. The blacksmith who is alone is thus
enabled, II he should so desire, to use both
nahds at the fire, or he might go across
the shop and DO back swaying the lever
once more before the blast had ceased.
A good bellows will last for many years
Without repairs. Blacksmiths' bellows are
made in various sizes from "a inch to 60
inch. The 36 inch is the size most com
monty sold. The size is the width at tho
widest point. Bellows are longer than
.iey are wide, and they are made of diff

UNDERWRIrERs
Object to Soma Of the Methods EMPLOYED By
''Sham" Brokers.

1t is reported in insurance circles that.
at q meeting Of the South Kennebec Board
of Underwriters, important action was
taken regarding the commission which
will be paid brokers.
For some time there has been consider
able dissatisfaction felt regarding the
abuse which certain parties have made of
the opportunity which is open to any relia
BILE person to become an insurance broker.
The agents claim that some large owners,
whose premiums are considerable, have
obtained brokers' licenses, and having
thus been constituted, they are empowered
to place their own insurance and receive
the 10 per cent on the premium which is
regularly allotted brokers by agents, the
latter receiving but per cent of the
premium.
1t is said, also, that in some cases
owners have had some person in their
employ, obtain a brokers' license, and
thus place insurance on their property,
thereby taking the business out OF the
hands of the bona flde brokers.
The insurance agents do not object to
paying the 10 per cent to the genuine
broker who does regular business of
looking up insurance But they do not
feel that it is just to pay the sham
broker 10 per cent, and have passed resolu-
lions that in future brokers shall receive
but ~ per cent of the premium, leaving
themselves ~ per cent.
The method adopted by the ''sham"
brokers is this: Surprising an owner had
been paying a premium of $500. The
broker in this case would receive $50, and
the agent s25. By the owner becoming
a broker, or getting some one to be a
broker for him, he can pocket the $50,
FIRST having paid his S. license fee. The
reduction in the rate paid brokers will, it
is thought, discourage this practice and
place the business in the hands of the
legitimate brokers.
Another action was taken at the meet
ing, prohibiting the storing of gasoline
on insured premises.
