THOSE RISING WATERS,
Petitioners in the Lake Cobbossee-
contee FIowage Case Speak.
wafer Power Claims Right 10 Raise Waters as
II Sees Fit.

The hearing of the Lake Cobbosseocon
'ee howage case was begun, Tuesday
morning, before Judge Whitehouse sitting
IN equity. Leslie C. Cornish, ESD. and
Aorring Farr appeared for the plaintiffs,
Hon. W. NJ. Bradley of Portland. and
Hon. A. NJ. Spear of Gardiner for the dc
PENDANTS.
The case was bought by Mary d. MAYO
and othora asking an injunction for the
purpose of restraining the Gardiner Water
Power Company of Gardiner, from raising
the waters of Lake Cobbcsseecontee apy
higher than IN former years The Gartli
her Water Power Company's answer in
the case was read by Mr., Bradley. In It
they clamed the right by charter, also as
being mill owners thereby coming under
what Is known as the mill act, to lave
authority to raise the waters of the pond.
AS the necessities of the mill business may
require
Mr. Farr in his opening argument for
the plaintiffs denied this right, claiming
that their charter conferred no such right.
and that the company does not come un-
der the mill act
1t was charged by the petitioners in
their complaint that the company proposed
to raise the dam 81 inches, thus raising
the water in the lake and doing irrepara-
bic injury to the summer resort and farm
ing property about the lake.
The defendants said they had not raised
the dam and the height of the water de
pended entirely upon the flash boards in
the roll way of the dam. They admitted
that they intended to raise the water nine
inches above the previous high water
mark.
This appears to be the question TO be de
cidcd, whether or not the Gardiner Water
Power Co. really belongs under the mill
act as corporation. If it does, it is
thought that the company will be able to
raise the pond as they desire.

ANOTHER TOWER.
Movement on Foot To Replace the
Fuller Observatory.
To Be Over 200 Feet High Monty TO Be
Raised by Subscription.

There is a movement on foot to replace
the Fullels observatory, which was
located On Winthrop Hill ana which was
blown down, few weeks ago The n.w
affair is, according to present plans, to be
three stories higher than the old one,
making it about 200 feet from top to
bottom The location of tho proposed
tower will be practically the same as the
other.
1t is understood that The money for the
tower will be raised by subscription, tho
amount required being s25, The
builder proposes to make this affair "a
tower of safety and one that will last.
Instead Of two sets of guys as in the other
structure it is proposed to have three.
The general form Of the tower is to be
similar to the otEer, With the same pagoda
like appearance.
The loss of the old tower was keenly
felt, as it had become much frequented
resort on account Of the extensive view
which it afforded, and especially as place
from which to view the parades OF the
State militia on muster days.
1t is claimed and has been we'll sub
stantiated that tie fall Of the old affair,
was due to al imperfection in the clamps
of one of the guys. With the advantage
of past experience and extra care in the
construction the coming pinnacle proms es
to be more lasting.

CONFESSED r4Rouo4 FEAR.
Murderer Terrified by Hls wifo's skoio-

UP in New Hampshire the officers
of the law have Just used with effect
that very ancient test by which one ac-
cused of murder is suddenly and uneX-
pectodly confronted with some hor-
rible proof of his crime, says the New
York World. The oldest form Of this
test was to take the accused into tho
presence of the corpse of the murder
cd human being. The superstition was
that If the accused was th' murderer
the wounds would open and blood flow
out of them. The latest example was
in the court room at Woodsvi!le, n, H.,
where Milo Gray was on trial for the
murder of his WIFE, This man Gray,
farmer of dissolute life, married
widow, a Mrs. Drew. As re was un-
faithful to her she took her baby and
fed from him. In September, 1891,
she decided to go to California and on
her way came to East Havcrhill, where
he lived, to talk to him about the
child. Late in the afternoon Gray bor-
rowed a buggy from a man named
jeremiah Barry to take her over to
the station and put her on the train.
He came back alone toward midnight.
Mrs. Gray's relatives wondered why
she never wrote to them. Inquiries
were made Gray was suspected But
there was no proof and the matter was
forgotten. Oct. Is last George Brill, a
farmer living on the road between East
Haverhill and Bath, found the skeleton
OF a woman under a heap of rubbish
in the cellar of his house. With the
skeleton were the buttons of dress,
with bits of decayed cloth hanging to
them and an abundance OF dark-brown
hair. At once the dead suspicion leap
ed to life. 1t was remembered that the
Brill house was empty in 1891, when
Gray drove his wife to the station.
Barry positively identified the buttons
as being like those on her dress and
soon complete chain of evidence was
wrapped around Gray. He pleaded not
guilty and the trial came on. At the
proper time the prosecuting officer
snatched a dark cloth from o mysteri-
Gus, statue-like object that stood with
in few feet of the prisoner. Gray
leaped back with a shout Of fear and
horror. 1t was the skeleton of his wife,
its fleshless sockets staring at him,
its fieshless jaws opening savagely at
him. He shouted out that he would tell
the whole story. The story he told was
believed by the court and he got only
twelve years in the penitentiary in
stead of the hanging he would surely
have got had he not confessed under
just those circumstances.

An absent-minded professor was
much annoyed by the trouble he expe-

ber where he had put them the night
before when he undressed. SO he de-
vised the plan Of writing down on a
sheet of paper where each article of
clothing was placed as he took II off,
and this is what he wrote:
Goat on third peg left-handed cor
ner of room, waistcoat and trousers on
chair by bed, collar on door-handle, tie
through key of door. vest on floor by
window, cuffs on knobs of bedstead,
shirt on portmanteau, socks on gas
bracket, boots outside door, professor
in bed"
Next morning this plan seemed to
answer admirably; he collected his gar
ments rapidly, and when he came to the
last item on the list he went over to the
bed and, to his great disgust, found it
empty.
"Achw he cried, in bewilderment,
now the professor is lost. The plan is
not good. What shall do now?"

British Critics and Criticism.

Mr.. Andrew Lang, in recent article
entitled Thoughts on Criticism" does
not agree with Lord Cockburn in the
dictum that Jeffrey is "the first of Eng
lish critics" If" asks Mr.. Lang,
jeffrey, with his very limited knowl-
edge, with his yet more limited taste,
with the blank places in his perceptions,
the numbness, as it were, of many of
his sensory nerves-if he. the assailant
OF Scott, the carper of Wordsworth,
the enthusiast for The Paradise of
Coquettes'-if he be the first of British
critics, is it worth while to be British
critic at all or to read British criti-
cism?"
AS to DR.. Johnson, Mr. Lang calls up
against him his treatment of "Lyci-
das" and his, general usage of Gray.
Against Matthew Arnold, Mr.. Lang
raises the point that he thought
"Enoch Arden" the greatest of all Ten
nysons poems, and that Shelley's let
ters "outshone his songs" Mr.. Lang
adds: Really, when we reflect on it.
