THE COAL TRADE.
E. Stone & Co.. Handled About 10000 Tons
the Past Year in This City.

c. A. White of +. Stone & Co, coal
dealers, was seen by Journal man, yes
terday, in reference to the sale of coal in
this city.
"The coal sheds are about empty" are
they not?" was the reporters query.
"Yes, they are nearly all cleaned out >
began Mr.. White, and added, "We never
sold as much coal in the city as We have
during the past year The demand is on
the increase. During the past year our
sales have been about 10, 900 tons, and of
course some has been sold in the city by
Hallowell parties. This year we will put
in about the same quantity as we did
last and perhaps more Regarding the
price, it is not safe to say as yet but 1t
will probably not be any higher than it
has been during the winter just closed "
This company has vessel now at the
wharf which will discharge Its cargo as
soon as the water lowers sufficiently.
This is the first coal schooner that has ar
rived at the docks this year.

AUGUSTA TO LEWISTON.
Thought That Direct Rail Line Between
Those Points Would Pay.

Col. A. S. Bangs, president of the Au-
gusta board of trade, was asked by re-
porter the other day what he thought of
the proposition of building II line of rail
once said that he was strongly in favor
of the plan. His idea is to have it run out
of Winthrop by way of Cobbosseecontee
lake and thence to tho Spindle City,
where 1t would connect with the Grand
Trunk railway, thus furnishing the capi-
tai of Maine with excellent railroad com
munication.
When asked if he thought this scheme
would pay, he answered in the aiIirma-
tive emphatically, and added that he be-
leved if the movement was started in the
right way it could be successfully carried
out. Furthermore he said that he be-
lieved that some day the line would be
constructed and that the Grand Trunk
would assist in the building
The reporter asked if he thought pulp
mills would be built at Cobbosseecontee
If the line was run through there, and
then Mr.. Bangs made a few remarks
about the pulp industry which were of
interest He said that we have pulp mills
enough and that it will not be many years
before there will not be any forests in the
State if the cutting of the trees at the
rate of the past few years continues.
Mr.. Bangs said that it will be but few
years when pulp will be made from some
annual vegetable growth, some weed that
Maine has an abundance Of 1t was not
many years ago when people would have
laughed at the idea that pulp could be
made from wood.

OUR FREsHEr.
The Kcnnebec Higher Than for Several Years
and is Rather Out OF Limits.

The Kennebec continued to rise, all
day Monday, and by night was higher
than for several years. The wharves were
all under water and the buildings flooded,
as we'll as the Easements of most of the
stores on the river side of Water street.
The coal sheds and steamboat wharf
buildings were under water nearly to the
caves and the water still coming.
At the post office the bulkheads were
put up. and every door and window made
as tight as possible, SO by looking care
fully after what water oozed in, the four
or five feet of water surrounding the base
ment had no terrors for the doughty en-
ployes within.
The bulkheads were put in so we'll that
not drop got by them and the trouble
came from the water being forced up
through the brick floor and cracks in the
cement. The janitors and extra men
worked all night keeping the water out.
The water came over the dam with
terrific force and the current was more
like mill race than the usually placid
kennebec. The Edwards Mill was obliged
to suspend work, not starting up, Mon
day, and the pulp mill also shut down.
1t is needless to say that no coal was de-
livered, as the sheds were several feet un-
der water.
At 8 O'Clock, this morning, the water
had not been rising much for while but
was nearly to the caves of the steamboat
wharf building. The rain changed to
snow during the night and then went
back to rain. :

Della Sibley who has case pending
against her for the larcney OF $50, which
was continued from last term to give her
opportunity to make restitution, was
brought in and the county attorney called
up the matter for sentence, stating that
no restitution had been made and no at
tempt in that direction. The court said
that in consideration of the fact that this
was the first offence of the girl, and to
give time for restitution, it had continued
the case until this term. 1t appeared no
attempt had been made to make good the
loss to the party from whom the money
was taken, and while there was no legal
obligation upon the parents of the girl to
do this yet they could save her from the
disgrace attachingito sentence and he
would still further continue the case until
near the close OF the term.

Religious Services on September 70 for
Its Restoration.
ST. LOUIS, Sept 2.--Twenty-five
years ago the Goth of September the
church of Rome was shorn of its tenn

set this celebration the Catholic church
throughout the world will on the same
date hold religious services in which it
will offer prayers to the Almighty for
the peace and final triumph of the
church and fer the liberty of the holy
see. To this end bishops and archbishops
of various dioceses have promulgated
orders for special services in all the
churches in the diocese, and Arch
bishop Kahn says. in addition, that
should Catholic societies and sodal-
tiles think fit to embody their senti-
ments of sympathy and affection for
the holy father in the form of resolu-
tions, he will forward the resolutions
to the sovereign pontiff.
