RAILROAD MATTERS.
Business Lively About Rumford Falls.

Superintendent l.. l.. Lincon, of the
Portland & Rumford Falls railroad is at
the Falmouth. He told the PRESS that
business is lively in the neigh borhood of
Rumford Falls. No less than six steel
bridges are in process of construction,
or are soon to be built in that section.
There is the steel carriage bridge now
building across the Androscoggin at
Dixfield, three steel railroad bridges soon
to be built on the P. & R.F., at Buck
field, East Sumner and Allen, and two
steel bridges now in course of construc-
tion, lone over the Androscoggin at Rum
ford Falls, and another over Swift river.
These last two are Oh the line of the
new Rumford Falls & Rangeley Lake
road, which is graded for 26 miles to
Houghton's. Trains will probably be
running by August 1st.

A singular Coincidence.

A singular coincidence is reported in
the deaths of Mrs. Mary A.Ripley and
her mother. Mrs. Ripley formerly kept
the boarding house On Brown street.
which Mrs. Pinkham manages at Ethe
present time, and had made great num-
Der of friends. Lately, we are informed,
she went to Vermont on visit to her
mother, an aged lady, and the news was
afterwards received that her mother had
died. Now intelligence comes of Mrs.
RipIey's death.

A Coming Concert.

To the Editor of he PRESS;
May ask little space to beg the
music lovers of Portland to exert them
selves in the cause of the Boston SYM
phony concert? 1t has just, been conclu-
sively proved that highly classical con-
cert scan be well patronized here,
in spite of an unusual scale of prices.
That concert was a rare continuation for
any city. Mill, of the Quartette alone,
with Adamowski's solo Ito say nothing
of Zach's aecompaniments) were enough,
but besides all that we had Melba! No
we have another chance to prove that we
are apprative of fine music. Do let us
make personal matter of it and try
to have a big, rousing audience to greet
Mr.. Paur at his first concert here. The
world moves and let, us move with it.
Why can we not prove that we enjoy n
good thing as much as our cultured
neigh bors of the Hub. so that by and by,
there will be noqHestiou about all the
good thingsn coming to US.
