Mrs. Isabella Charles Davis, of New
York, corresponding secretary of the
King Da4s htors, addressed large aud
fence in the Unitarian vestry last Friday
evening, on thew Of the organization
throughout the country.
Mrs. Davis is a fascinating speaker
She held the attention of her audience for
two hours. She gave a history of the
order since its establishment, paying
special attention to the work in the
South and West. The recital of the
miseries Of the poor in New York city
moved many to tears.
Before the address a piano solo was
rendered by Miss Marion Bartlett. The
address was followed by prayer by Mrs.
Davis and the singing OF hymn by the
congregation. A collection was taken to
defray expenses. A reception attended
by the Hand in Hand circle of Kings
Daughte OF this city was held in the
parlors Of the vestry from until 7
O'Clock. Refreshments were served The
event was very enjoyable.

The Circus.

Scribner K Smiths circus did good
business in Ellsworth Saturday. The
tents of the show were filled to their ut
most capacity and no one went away dis
satisfied alt hougb many were agreeably
disappointed in the character of the show.
1t was, perhaps, the best show for the
price that has ever visited this city. Its
performers are stars. No act was done
in any but a first-class manner The
equestrian feats and the juggling were
among the best ever seen here.
The circus was conducted throughout
in an unexceptionable way. The clowns,
the favorites of the children, furnished
genuine amusement.
The street parade at noon was quite up
to the average Of shows furnishing their
own locomotion. After the matinee,
there WAS an opportunity to see the feed
ing OF the wild animals in the menagerie.
Scribner & Smith sustained in Ellis
worth their previous good reputation.

CITY GOVERNMENT.
REMONSTRANCE AGAINST CLOS
ING THE DOYLE BRIDGE.
STEEL VERSUS wooD-sTEEL WINS
NEW BRIDGE TO BE BUILT-WILL
COST LESS IN THE LONG RUN.

AT the meeting Of the city government,
Wednesday Aug. IL, one Of the questions
discussed was the discontinuance Of the
Doyle bridge.
AS a natter of form, by which to get
action as speedily as possible, Street.
commissioner Eppes presented petition
signed by himself alone, asking that the
bridge be discontinued, and stating that
in his opinion, public interest did not
demand its being rebuilt. Thursday,
Aug. 20, was appointed for hearing.
The mayor and all the aldermen ex
cept MIR. Brown were present, with
about twenty interested citizens, on
Thursday afternoon when the meeting
was called to order.
City clerk Wyman read copy of the
notices which he had posted about town.
A call for expressions ofopinion followed.
Henry l.. Moor said that there had been
more travel over the Doyle bridge than
over any bridge on the river above it. 1t
was great convenience to people living
on the Branch pond road, and to the
school children of the neighborhood.
The proposed road which would be built
to take the place of the bridge would be
very expensive, both in construction and
yearly maintenance, and he believed that
the people of the vicinity were unan-
mous for rebuilding he bridge.
Howard Hooper, representing the
Hooper mill, stated that the discontinue
ance of he bridge would be source of
great expense to his mill, a. three horses
were now required to do the work done
by two before the bridge was closed.
H. NJ. Hall, of the firm of II. NJ. K B.
! Hall, presented remonstrance signed by
about 300 citizens who want the bridge
rebuilt. He stated that with The Doyle
bridge discontinued the expense to hi
| firm was about IS day extra, because OF
the longer distance the teams have to
travel.
Alderman Campbell moved that ,ir.
Eppes be given leave to Withdraw the
petition presented by him at the last
meeting. 1t was made a vote.
On motion OF Alderman Maddocks, it
was voted to rebuild the Doyle bridge.
Then discussion arose as to whether a
steel bridge would he more desirable
than a wooden structure Various opin-
ions were expressed. Estimates of the
relative costs were made.
Alderman Campbell, working on the es :
Inmates made, figured that there WAS a
balance OF $50 year in favor OF the steel
| bridge, hen the cost OF repairing and
rebuilding the wooden one Is considered
with the interest which would have to be
paid upon money hired by the city to
build he steel bridge.
! On motion of Alderman Higgins, it was
voted that the mayor and board OF alder
men be committee to inquire into the
respective cost of steel and wooden
! bridges and decide which it would be for
the best interests of the city to build, the
| committee to have aut hority to contract
fer the building OF such bridge as shall
be chosen. Or if it seemed advisable to
repair The old bridge, to have the work
| done immediately.

STEEL BRIDGE TO BE BUILT.

An examination of the Doyle bridge
was made by the committee soon after
the close Of the meeting. 1t was found
to be beyond repair.
A representative Of the Boston bridge
works accompanied the committee and
submitted plans and a bid for the con-
struction Of a steel bridge. The bid was
40 low that a contract was signed. The
desire to build OF steel was unanimous.
The new bridge will be what is known
as riveted, pony truss bridge, steel
throughout. Its total length will be POI
feet The firm which has the contract is
we'll known, and has been in business
twenty-seven years.
The old bridge is being torn down.
Work on the new foundation will begin

Brewer Boys Getting Anxious.

The boys of the Brewer hose running
team are already beginning to whistle to
get their courage up for their contest
with the Ellsworth Dirigos at Rockland.
Listen to their tale OF woe as told by the
Brewer correspondent of the Bangor pa
pers:
The mem bers of Brewers champ
hose running team, the Dirigos, are afraid
OF the Ellsworths, are they? Nit! Ac-
cording to some Of the talk which has
come from Ellsworth this week, one
would think that the reason why the
Brewer team gave up going to Ellsworth
to participate in the races to be held dur
ing the Hancock county fair was on ac-
count OF being afraid to meet the Els
worth teams
1.-THE boys intended to go to Ellsworth,
until the invitation came along to go
to Rockland, Sept. II. All the mem
bers of the team were unanimous for ac-
cepting the Rockland invitation and as
they do not care to take more than one
more trip this fall they gave up the Els
worth visit. The majority OF the MEM
bers OF the Brewer team are so employed
that they cannot get off to take in every
thing they may wish and they have to
al Ia &c 50 MS W dlleHu oliy sucn piaces
as they think they can get the most fun
and satisfaction.
brewer never was afraid OF Ellsworth
and never will be and every member of
the Drigos is hoping that the Ellsworth
team will be at Rockland; and il they
don beat them they will give them one
of the hardest races of their lives If the
Ellsworth teams think that the an
nouncement that they are going to chase
the Brewer team to Rockland acts in any
way against the courage of the Brewer
boys they are mistaken.
ut Will be too bad if all of the State
hose racing teams get frightened (?)
away from Ellsworth, and the home
teams have it all to themselves at the
fair. But then it will be good practice
for the boys and they will need it all"
