HOD CARRIERS WON.

Their Contentious Granted by the Con-
tractors of Chicago.
CHICAGO. Sept. II The strike Of the
1900 union hod carriers has ended in an
almost complete victory for the men.
Few words were wasted in the resolu-
ton adopted by the Masons' and Build
ers' association, which puts an end to
the largest and most stnbbornly fought
strike in the building trades this year.
By gaining recognition for their union
from the bosses, the hod carriers claim
they have won all they could have
wished when they started the strike,
over q month ago.
No scale of wages has been agreed
upon, but will probably be the rates
paid by the biggest contractors, who
capitulated some time ago-2O and 20
cents an hour. All the men return to
work pending the settlement Of the
rcrking rules.

Football Notes.

Coburn will play Hebron On the Colby
campus tomorrow. This promises
to be one of the most interest
ing games between any of the school
teams which has been played this season.
At meeting of the Bowdoin Varsity
football eleven, held Wednesday, William
W. Spear of Rookland, was elected
captain for the season of 1897. The
choice is happy one, for Mr.. Spear is
thoroughly acquainted with the game of
foot ball, and is beyond question the
best guard in the state of Maine. All
feel that by his hard and conscientious
work he has earned the undisputed right
to captain the team which will represent
bowdo1n another season. The Varsity
will lose but three players by graduation
next June, and to be selected captain
from among the large number Of brilliant
players which remain Is an especial
honor.

midtown which have been rather indefi-
nltely understood by the abutting owners
there. The Bangor Il Aroostook business
at Oldtown has greatly increased and
many trains are run there, making 1t
necessary to fence in the line TO reduce
the dangerous conditions as much az
possible. Since the Bangor q Aroostook
was built In 1859 there has been no &C.
tual laying down Of lines, consequently
property owners along there have come
to believe they own more than they do.
The Bangor& Piscataquis have put down
posts along the line and some have dis
puted their lines and seem inclined to
claim damages but it Is thought an
amicable settlement will be reache d.

and houses which may have to be moved
or cut off.

AN OFT REPEATED TALE.
A New Hampshire Financial Poo Bah In
Europe Enjoying Savings of Poo1
People.

Boston, November IA special to the
Herald from Claremont, N. H., says:
John L. Farwell of this town, for
many years the financial king of western
New Hampshire, is travelling through
France and Italy for the benefit of his
health. He was expected to return by
the first of September. Here in Sullivan
county, and to some extent in the dis
tricts Immediately adjoining are hun
dreds of persons who want to know
where the money they entrusted to his
care has gone.
In the Sullivan Institution for
Savings are 81, $50 600 in trust funds and
personal friendly Investments at 2 per
cent per annum to the amount of $500,
co. Every cent of that has been out of
sight since Farwell went to Europe for
his health. and that in the savings bank
has been hidden for much longer time.
OF this total of 81. $50, 600, some is
coming baoK. 1t is hoped that from
twenty to thirty per cent of the total
amount will be realized.
The greatest sufferers are the poor
people of the country, principally widows
and orphans. MIR. Tarwell has been the
victim of gang of careful, shrewd and
capable land sharks Of Western States.
Into their oapaoious maws has the
money of the poor people Of Sullivan
county gone.
