NORWAY d PARIS STREET RAILWAY

The new electric railroad between
Norway and South Paris commenced
running regular trips last Monday noon
The regular schedule will send = Cal
over the road every thirty minutes ex.
cept on special occasions. For the first
few daysa car has left each terminu:
every fifteen minutes and the road ha:
done booming business.
The cars are new and handsome, anc
ride very easy, and everything connected
with the road is first class.
VI. W. sampson of Norway and Frank
A. Taylor Of South Paris are the con
ductOr's and handsomer or more gentle
manly pair of conductors cannot bs
found upon any line.
John ID. Cole of Norway and c. F
Penley of South Paris are motormen.
Conductors and motormen from tn,
Augusta, Hallowell and Gardiner Elec'
trio Railroad were on last week teach.
ing the new men their duties.
The road did booming business last
week, CARRYING over two thousand pas
sengers in single day.
Not nearly as many horses are fright
ened by the cars as was expected anc
while there has been vast amount OF
opposition 10 the building Of this road
we are inclined TO think that the feeling
in this direction Is changing; that thu
road is convenience which Norway
and South Paris people would not want
TO do without. and an enterprise which
will certainly hasten the uniting OF those
two growing and progressive villages
Here's hoping the new road will return
good dividends.

IL is said 20 be a fact that the man
who. a. an officer of the law, is obliged to
execute human being, never gets over
a kind ot haunting remorse for having
been the passive instrument in taking
life. IL that is so, Col. Strong, who
died last week at Washington, must have
lived a life Of torment, for he WAS nearly
80 years OF age, had been an officer of the
district Jail for thirty years, and during
that time had executed eighteen crimt-
mails. one OF them being Guiteau, the
assassin OF President Garfield.

ALL AFRAID OF SPAIN.
Why Spanish America Will Nos
AcknOXNledUa Cuba

WASHINGTON, Oct. u, aS95-M is
learned from am authoritative source to-
day that none of the Central or South
American governments will ; AXE the in
it9altive in recognizing the belMgerency
of the revolliaonissts in Cuba The
press of those countries, SO far as can
be judged from this point, is unani-
nous in its sympathy with the Cubans
The fear is expressed, however, that
e1e recognition of the feyolutionists by
Venezula. Mica ra gua Brazil, Guatemala
or even Mexico, would be followed by
che despatch of several Spanish men-of-
War to their principal ponts demanding
both an explanation and satisfaction AS
Spain has a navy about equal to that
of the United States they would have,
under Those circumstances, a sufficient
number of vessels for this purpose at
half a dozen points on the American
continent.
AS none of the countries on the West
ern Hemisphere, excepting the United
States and Chilli, have a navy worthy of
the name. no recognition of Cuban
rights will be made by them for fear of
the consequences. 1T is said today that
as soon as the United States, or Great
Britain, or some of the Continental
Powers move in the MATTER Their action
VIII be speedily followed by all the
Spanish-American republics ON this con-
tinent.
