Saturday by the Rochester Post-Ex

"In attempting to cross South street,
between Second and Third streets, late
on Friday night, an aged woman was
struck by trolley car No. 6O2, of the
Electric fractions Passyunk avenue

rate of speed, and the people on the

Representative Stone Of Allegheny,
after paying visit to his oonstitu-
ents, told a Washington interviewer
that he was surprised at the rapid
growth of the free-slver sentiment in
Pennsylvania" Mr.. Stone ought to
know that the effort of this free trade
administration to establish gold mono
metalllsm was sure to be followed by
a popular recoil. While Pennsylvania
Republicans do not favor the unlimited
coinage of the silver of the world, there
is nothing in their platform to indicate
hostility to American silver, or disin-
clination to protect American silver at
a fair ratio. 1t is probably this senti-
ment which Colonel Stone confuses
with the western sentiment for the
wholesale and indscriminate coinage of
the worlds silver. Yet the two senti-
ments are widely different, both in con-
ctption and in results.

Ex-senator Blair, of New Hampshire,
thinks there is just one plain sensible
solution" of the silver question. Let
congress declare that on July 1, 1898,
this country shall begin the free coin
age .of silver. That will give all the
world notice. If that should be done
we would have no more trouble than
we did in resuming specie pay
ment of which notice was given four
years ahead The other nations would
fall in line gracefully. for THEY would
be in a measure compelled to do so. The
idea of securing international consent
by any other method is a snare and de-
lusion. The world needs silver and the
United States can well afford to take
the initiative in it's rehabilitation"
Mr.. Blair needs to be careful or he will
make himself persona non grata at the
white house.

"BRANCH POND"
The New Railroad Station at North
Ellsworth.

The New Railroad Station at North
Ellsworth.
The new railroad station at North Ellis
worth is about completed, and already
trains stop there on signal. The new
station is known as "Branch Pond"
The road leading to the depot opens at
the Bangor road, opposite The road lead
ing in toward Branch Pond, and is really
the continuation of that road This road
was built by the property owners of the
vicinity at an expense, it is said, of over
$500, for the purpose of obtaining the
station, the railroad company agreeing to
build the station if the road was built.
The matter was presented to the board of
aldermen some time ago, with a request
that the city build the road. A majority
of the board deemed it unwise to build
the road without more than verbal
agreement that the depot would be built.
When the static II is built we Will bald
the road" said the board. when the
road is built we will build the station"
said the railroad company. And there
the matter rested.
But the people of North Ellsworth did
not intend to let the matter drop there.
Money was raised by subscription and
the road was built. The rai;lvatt oo4n-
pany carried out its part of the agreement
and the station is now built. Nov the
city is asked to accept the road as a pub
lie way, and to reimburse the property
holders who built the road, to the amount
of about $500, or slightly more than one
half the cost. This the city will proba
bly, do.
In the spring the property owners pro
pose to continue the road in through the
Boggy Brook set tlement, to Reed IS Pond,
thus connecting the two ponds.
The new station is 16x4 feet in size.
A side track will be built in the spring.
Fred {. Frye, of Aroostook, has been ap-
pointed station agent. He has COM

The most important importation ol

the county of Hancock of recent years is
the yearling colt Bingen, recently pur'
chased in Kentucky by George w. Leavitl
fer E. II. Greedy, OF Ellsworth. Mr.
Greedy met the colt at Boston ano
brought him on here by express. The
colt arrived here in excellent condition
last Friday.
Bingen was foaled in May. 1898. He
was sired by May King, ri y (son OF

the past season would be credit to
any horse.

They have been known to attack two
year-old deer. The hunter who brought
this matter to the attention of THE
AMERICAN reporter believes the placing
of good-sized bounty on the "lucifees,
and a smaller bounty on wild cats, twill
do more to protect the deer than all the
fines and game laws made by lawyers" !" as
he puts it.
At the Congregational church Sunday
morning, Prof. William Dewitt Hyde, of
Bowdoin college, delivered an able theo-
logical discourse. He selected his text
from Matthew 13 80: "Therefore every
scribe which is instructed unto the king

an householder, which bringeth forth
out of his treasure things new and DID,
The speaker drew parallel between the
old and the new views of the funda-
mental basis of religion-of the beginning

the main differences in these views. The
eloquence of the speaker, his forceful yet
graceful style of oratory, his perfect
enunciation, added to the mastery treat
ment of his subject, held the closest at
tention of his hearers

the dates of the fair Sept TO- II and IL.
The association also voted to hold a

Experienced deer hunters in this vicin

scarcity of fawns during the past season.
One of these said recently that during
the entire season he saw only one fawn
track. This he believes to be due to the

in the woods. These animals are known
by local hunters as "lucifees,' a eorrup-
