Topsham, Ocotber IA The 42d fair of
the Sagadahoc Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Association was postponed q
second time this morning on account of
the rain. Last night it rained heavy
and even If it had been pleasant today
it is doubtful if any racing could have
been done for the track. which is quite
a fast one when dry, would have been
slippery and quite unsafe.
During the day the rain drizzled down
slowly. making it quite disagreeable TO-
those who arrived Tuesday to attend the
fair ard have been obliged to remain
at the hotels.
just after the noon hour the rain ceased
to fall, the clouds broke away and the
sun really came out for an hour or 30.
During the afternoon the fine exhibits
in Agricultural hall were visited by quite
number of people, including many
school children.
Thursday the students of Bowdoin
college and the scholars in the common
schools will have chance to attend the
fair, which will be the opening day if
the weather is pleasant.
Several of the speedy horses were be-
ing worked out slowly on the track this
i afternoon the high upper edge of sod
being quite dry.
A pleasant day is expected for tomnr-
row.

Post Office Inspector O'Brien is in the
city engaged in the work of establishing
the rural mail delivery in this county.
Cong ress has appropriated sum of
money for trying an extensive expert
ment in al mail delivery. Some of the
public men have an idea that the people
of the sparsely settled country regions
are as much entitled to have their mail
brought to their doors each day as are
the city people. So the Postnas ter Gen.
eral has been empowered to try the ex.
pertinent to determine the practlcability
of rural delivery. He has selaoted twenty
two states in which to make the trial,
taking county in each. In New Eng
land Maine and Massachusetts are the
states selected. and thu county of Cum

The mans plan OF working was rathe,
original. He would go into store and

that he was member Of the firm Of y

that he was from Milliken, Tomlinson

engage in conversation with the proprie.

the grocery business and gradually
working up to the real object of his visit.

visitor would say, dipping his hand into
chest of tea. chow much does our sales.
man oharge you for this?"
The groceryman would inform him.
"Whati AS much as that Why, that's
altogether too high. He ought to let You
have it for and here he would mention
a much lower price.
In the same way he would go over
several staple articles In the grocery line
and invariably informed the proprietor,
that he paid too much, that the sales.
man ought to have known better and
that he. would have to see about those
high prices right away"
Naturally the grooeryman felt that he
had bsen imposed upon by The firms
salesman and felt more friendly thar
ever toward the alleged member of thu

The grooeryman would, of course, be

THAT PORTLAND NOTE.
saco Police Think 1t Meant Something At
ter All.

The Saoo police are more inclined than
ever to think that they were right In
watching the banks in that city, but
that they made slight mistake IN tho
time Of watching, says the Biddeford
Record. While the cashiers of the banks
are laughing at the police for the preoua-
tion that as been taken by them yet
those who have heard the inside of the
matter are commencing Marshal Burns
and his officers for what they have done.
About month ago the York bank was
occupying quarters in the store Of George
E. Owen while it's banking rooms were
being renovated. The safe in which the
money that was used through the day
was not protected by a vault, but stood
out in the floor so thu II would have
been comparatively easy. matter to get
into the safe and make off with the con-
tents.
There was one thing against the break
however, and that was at that time all
the securities Of the bank were kept In
the vault Of ono of tho other banks. All
the money that was kept on hand was
just enough to do the business required
during bank hours, and il by chance any
amount was accumulated the money
was at once carried to the vault of an
other bank and there kept.
During all this time that the York
bank had banking rooms in the store OF
George +. Owen. there were several sus-
pioious strangers in town and IL is be-
lieved by the police that there was really
design on the part Of these strangers to
make break On the York bank. The
original idea that tho note found by the
deputy marshal in Portland. while it
bore only the date Of Saoo II, was in
reality dated between tina lines month
or two previous to October II, and that
by some means the plans Of this would
be burglars were thwarted.
Some new developments In the case
have been made that are not yet ready
for publication. but it ia beloved that
evidence has been secured that will do
much toward running down the guilty
parties. Marshal Burns went to Portland
today in order to secure the note that
was found by the Portland police and a
conference will be held.

This will make . circuit of about
twenty-five miles.
The mail carrier will probably have a
horse and wagon. and he will be provided
with q tinhorn, which he will blow a. he
goes along to let the people know that
the postman IL coming. 1t looks now
as though the rural postman. with his
horn. will be striking and happy feat
ure Of rural life.
He will deliver the mail to all the peo-
pie living along the roads which he ira
verses. He Will not, however, go onto
the CROSS roads. People living on those
roads. however. can have boxes along the
main road to which tho postmap will
have a key. In these he can deposit aud
collect mail. Suitable boxes are manu-.
featured and sold in the market.
The delivery on the route laid out, will
probably begin by November first, or
perhaps before that date, and will con.
tinue until the beginning OF next sum-
mer.
Inspector O'Brien will watch It, and
when 1t Is concluded make his report to
Washington.
MIR. O'Brien thinks that the govern
ment could with profit pattern after q
private arrangement. which already ex-
lists in many places in Maine. People
living along the stage limos have arrange
ments with the stage drivers. whereby
for small sum he leaves their mail In
boxes by the roadside. These private
boxes are quite numerous in many parts
of Maine. There are stage lines which
could in this way. if the government
should take up the plan, serve large
section of territory. Take for instance
the stage which leaves Portland daily
and goes. up through Deering, Westbrook,
Windham, Raymond and Casoo. The
driver of this stage could deliver mail to
large number Of people.
