Up-to=Date Bank Vaults.

The other day an hour was pleasantly
spent in inspecting the new steel vault
placed in the Belfast Savings Bank, and of
which mention was made last week. Mr.. L.
+. Sipp, who has charge of the work, eX-
hibited and explained the workings of the
lock and other details of the mechanism,
and the process of construction. Only an
expert could describe this in detail and then
1t would require an expert to understand
the description. The structure as a whole
may be generally depicted a marvel of
mechanism and a triumph of human ingenu-
Ity Il is as great contrast to the old time
safe as the electric light is to a talow dip or a
ashington hand press to one of Hoes latest
perfectlng presses. So far as protection from
tire or burglars is concerned a bandbox
would be as secure depository as one Of
the earlier iron safes. Indeed, 1t would be
safer from burglars as they would not be
likely to 90 to handbook for valuable Sc
curities. But the modern stronghold bids
defiance to flames, to falling buildings, to
cold cblsels, nltroglycerine or gunpowtier.
The cashier himself cannot open it unless
the time-lock says so.
MIR, Sipp spoke in very complimentary
terms of the assistance he has had in hand
ling the heavy material, making special mem
ton of E. s. Shuman and Il. J. Morrison.
He said he had never found d better crew in
a small place.
The new vault for the Belfast National
Bank is now due here and will be put III at
once 1t is somewhat larger than the one in
the Savings Bank, but comes from the same
concern and will be set up by Mr., Sipp and
assistants.
The vault at the Savings Bank is nearly
bricked in and the place will soon be ready
Tor the carpenters. Workmen are laying
the foundation for the new work at the Bel
fast National Bank. The officers of the lat
ter bank will have quarters in the Savin $
bank while the orkmen are in their bank
ing-room.

A Winter rloonlight Excursion.
A Wild NOrtheaster Ragged and the Excursion
Isis had Rough Time.

The Belfast correspondent of the Bangor
Daily News has the following: A harrow
ing tale OF woe is trying TO be suppressed in
Belfast. 1t is all on account of a moonlight
excursion. For several days the young
men and women had been doting upon an
advertisement something follows: "No-
tlce. The staunch steamer Castine will
give moonlight excursion to Hewes'
Point, lsleSboro, Tuesday evening Dec Is
rice, % cents per couple, including admis-
sion to the dance hall" Incidentally ice
| cream was extra. About 10 couples awaited
themselves of this magnanlmous offer. But
what severe night 1T was, to be sure The
moon, which was advertised to give light to
the affair was encircled by the largest kind
of circle, foreboding detrimental possible
titles. Yet all was braved in the mad desire
for pleasure. The boat was at hand at
DYer's wharf, yet was tossing and bouncing
about at the moOring as il bnrating the
| irallty OF humanity. Out in the bay the
! lowing nor easter WAS sending the waters
dasllng matly against the Shores and the
united means OF water and wind wou i'd
cause hesltancy IN seatarlng man Joining
such an expedition. However, the excur-
sion went, and the IL or more couples with
it. The boat left at I 30 p. IN, and arrived
at HeWes Point at about 10 p. IN. The
party walked mile to the town hall With
their own music. There they had dance
program winch was rendered with due en-
Joy ment but alas, now comes the tale of
woe. In the wee small hours the couples
wandered back to the wharf at Hewes'
Point to catch the boat. But so fierce was
the gale aud 50 open the harbor that the
boat was forced to leave its lnooring and
make Castlht several miles away for the
night. This, all unknown to the party
Their pleasure over they sea npered to the
wharf, mile from the hall, only to learn
that the boat was at Ryter's Cove, four
miles away. This, in the small hours of the
day " hat was to be done? The party at
once started and walked the four miles to
Ryders Cove only to find no boat there
Next there was a wild scampering to donl-
Gle the young women, at least. Farm
houses, barns, blacksmith shops, stores,
etc, We're haunted by wild looking young
men begging, if not for themselves, for hui
manity's sake, in of the young women,
more especially ''humanity's sake" as some
OF the young men had not been foresighted
enough financially, as to be equal to the
emergency. In substance, the party got
back to Belfast about noon the next day
seasick and Disguised; yet worst Of all one
young mans girl has gone back on him as a
result of the affair."

The Little Conqueror Comes to Boston.
People Are Becoming

When the welfare of the public is at stake our
citizens are interested. The lit lie conqueror has
come and conquered. Boston has proven no eX-
ception to the rule; everything IS swept before

The Baptists had a Christmas supper for
the members of the Sunday school at the
vestry last evening, which was greatly en-
joyed by the young folks.
The markets are not very plentlfully sup
piled with turkeys, there being compare
lively few raised in this vicinity this year
AS consequence of this small number
raised there was shortage of turkeys at
Thanksgiving time, but the lack will be
made up to some extent for the Christmas
market by western birds. All kinds of
poultry are in fine condition, this being
especially true of geese, ducks and chickens
Geese and ducks are scarce, but there is a
good supply of chickens. Turkeys retailed
yesterday from 20 to D cents geese, Is
ducks, II; chickens, 10.
The boarders of Mrs. A. S. Fahy have
given her handsome carving set for a
