LANDMARK GONE.
Historic Depot at Brunswick
Destroyed by Fire.

Loss on Station and Restaurant Said to Be
Covered by Insurance.

Brunswick, Oct. 31-That old land
mark of the Maine Central Railroad, the
station at Brunswick, is cow a thing of
the past. 1t was destroyed by flee at 5
O'Clock, this morning, and will not be
greatly mourned The fire caught in the
kitchen of the restaurant. owned and
operated by George e. Woodbury. q Son.
The flames quickly spread and the
efforts of the firemen and citizens were
conferred upon saving the tickets and bag
gage. Both were removed to place of
safety without damage. The restaurant
was destroyed but Mr.. Woodbury. has
sufficient insurance to cover all damage.
The train shed was completely destroyed
and the track covered with debris. A crew
of men was Immediately set to work and
the track was cleared SO that the passage
OF trains w8s not much obstructed or de-
layed
The American Express Company's
office was not touched by the flames The
Western Union office was in the burned
part of the structure and the wires and
switchboard were burned out. Linemen
were put to work at an early hour SO that
at noon the wires were working.
The depot was fully insured and the
Maine Central officials say that
plans will be drawn for fine new
depot. A temporary structure will be
erected to be used this winter and in the
spring work will be begun on the new
depot
The famous structure was one of the
oldest depots on the line and will be
missed by the travelling public, which
will doubtless rejoice over the fact that
new station is to be built
The work of clearing away the debris
was begun as early as possible and has
continued all day. Tomorrow the founda-
lions will be laid for temporary structure
for service during the winter months. AS
soon as the frost leaves the ground in the
spring work will be begun on hands ome
new station, much larger, and probably of
brick and granite. The town of Bruins

Is understood that the management of the

Last July, hearings were had, the evil
dence presented and arguments of counsel
made.
The facts as presented at the several
hearings and concerning which there is no
controversy are as follows:
/. In 1771 the town of Winthrop was
Incorporated and embraced within its
limits what is now both Winthrop and
Keadfeld
2. March II, 1891, the northern part of
the original town of Winthrop was in
corporated under the name of Readfield
by an act of the Legislature of Massachu-
setts to this effect: That all the lands in
the town of Winthrop lying north of the
line hereafter described, viz 4: Beginning
on the south line of lot No. 81 in said Win
throp where the west line of Hallowell
crosses said lot, from thence running west
northwest on the range line to Chambers
pond, point d on the map) thence
westerly across said pond to the southeast
corner of lot No. 220, (F); then westerly on
the south line Of said lot to southwest
corner of said lot, etc, be incorporated in
to town of Readfleld
3. February "a, 1910. an act was passed
by the Legislature of Massachusetts,, chap
ter 81 of the Private Laws of 1910, chang
ing the line between the towns of Win
throp and Readfield and setting off George
and Benjamin Manson with their estates
from Readfield to Winthrop. That act is
as follows:
An act to set off George Manson and
Benz. Manson from the town of Readfield
and to annex them to the town of Win
throp.

G. The line claimed by Winthrop runs in
an easterly direction from Wayne, (shown
at the extreme left of the map, through
the Manson lot 220, meeting the shore at
A; from there it continues to d, on the
easterly. shore of the lake, intercepting the
point at B and c. This distance is 5572
feet
The line, as claimed by Readffeld, runs
from Wayne TO A, as that claimed by
Winthrop. But instead of continuing
directly to D, it should as claimed by
Readfisld, extend from A to E, and thence
to D, E to D, being part of the original
boundary line made in 1891.
The cause of the dispute is the point of
land called Craig's point, on which are
located the Sir Charles hotel, and many
cottages.

THE AMMEN RAM KATAHDIN,

| rent, tide and wind at the various marks
at the time of the trial.
When the Dolphin was reached, the
wind, which had been light and from the
northeast had freshened somewhat, and
the surface of the sound was dotted with
white caps. The wind would be practi-
cally with the ram on the run to the west
ward, but would be dead against her on
the return trip.
The contract provided that the trial
should be made in smooth water, but the
builders decided that they would go on
with the trial, notwithstanding the disad-
vantageous circumstances. After a few
preliminary manoeuvres, during which
the ram showed that she could turn in a
very small circle, the course of the vessel
was shaped for the first mark buoy.
This buoy was passed about II. as. 30.
The tide was against the ram, although a
light wind was in her favor. Her time to
the second mark buoy was 16 minutes, 3S
seconds, made with an average of l39 revo-
buttons a minute.
Her times and revolutions per minute,
respectively to the third, fourth and fifth
buoys, were: Second quarter, 16 minutes
"a seconds, revolutions 1851; third quar-
quarter, Is minutes, IA seconds, 1901.
After passing the Nina, which was the

Friends of Fitzsimmons lay all the

Fitzsimmons most cordially hates and de-

but what if Fitzslmmons had taken the

New London, CT, Oct. 31.-The new
harbor defence ram Katahdin had her
official trial over the Long Island course,
Thursday, and although her actual time
did not bring her time within the specified
limit, it is confidently expected that the
allowances for currents, etc., will raise
the average above the required II knots.
The ram left New London about 7, and
proceeded under easy steam down the river
Thames and along the sound in westerly
direction.
1.-THE run of 3s miles from New London
to the first mark boat was made at fair
speed. The engineer members of the
naval trial board employed the time in
getting into their overalls and preparing
for the use of their delicately adjusted in
struments. By the time the starting point
of the trial course was reached all hands
were ready and in their places.
The United States dispatch boat Dol
phin was moored close to the first buoy of
the course. This buoy is about II miles
west by north of Norton's point, Long Is
land, and from this point the course ran
about due west. The buoys were moored
Al miles apart. dividing the whole run of
II miles into four equal portions.
The other four stations on the course
were occupied by the government tugs
Iwana, Narkeeta and Nina and the trans
port Fern. On each of these fine vessels
were stationed officers of the navy, to take
the time of the ram in passing the mark
buoy, for checking purposes, and also to
take the direction and strength of the cur

An Unexpected BombsheII Falls Into the

The commissioners appointed to define
the line dividing Rcadfleld and Winthrop,
filed their decision, Thursday, at the su-
preme judicial court. Their decision &C
cords with the claims made by Winthrop.
This case is one of the most interesting
regarding township boundaries which has
come up for many years, and it has been
the subject of great amount of discus
sion, both sides apparently having tenable
premises to support their respective
claims.
