THE "SHORE LINE" -.
OF THE TERMINUS IS
STILL IN DOUBT.
BOARD OF TRADE WILL MAKE COUNTER
PROPOSITION TO CONSTRUCTION
COMPANION THE ROAD.

The location of the western terminus
OF the Washington county railroad is still
matter of doubt. Another meeting of
the board of trade WAS held Tuesday
evening to hear the report of the execu-
tive committee, to which the proposition
OF the construction company was referred
last week
The committee reported that while it
seemed the unanimous opinion of the
committee that the railroad terminus
should be in Ellsworth, it was not
deemed expedient to try and raise $4,000
asked for by the people. The committee
recommended, however, that the board
express to the railroad people its earnest
desire to have he terminus here, and its
Willingness to aid them SO far Ms poss bic.
The committee suggested that the rail-
road people be asked IL they would extend
the road into Ellsworth provided the city
would furnish The rig ht -ofway. Ii such
a proposition is accepted, 1t Is believed
the necessary money for the right Of way,
say $3,OOO, could be raised by subscription.
The report OF the committee was ac-
cepted, and the matter WAS informally
discussed ny the board. A letter from
J. p. Mcdonald, president of the con-
struction company, WAS read, in which he
reiterated the statement maze at the
former meeting OF the board of trade that
the terminus would not be at Ellsworth
unless the citizens accepted the PROPOSE
tion mace to them.
President A. W. King called G. H.
Drummey to the chair and moved that a
committee be chosen to draft resolutions
expressing to the railroad company the
desire OF the citizens Of Ellsworth, repre-
sented by the board of trade, to have the
terminus OF the railroad here, and en-
bodying proposition to secure right of
way as suggested i'll report OF the execu-
tive committee.
The motion was carried and II. E. Ham
lin, }. b. Redman and DIR. &. A. Phillips
were chosen the committee. The board
took recess while the committee retired
to prepare the resolutions. The resou-
tons covered the ground outlined in Mr..
Kings motion, and authorized the presi-
dent to communicate the action of the
board to the }. p. NJ cDonald construc-
t1on company.
The meeting adjourned to next Monday
evening.

GIVEN UP AS LOST.
The "Julia s. Bailey Supposed to
have been in Collision.

have been In Collision.
The three masted schooner "Julis s.
Bailey, Capt. W. A. Wyman, from Nor
folk, Va, Oct. 20, with coal for Saco
which was reported last week as proba bly,
lost, has not been heard from.
The schooner left Hyannis on the after
noon OF Nov. 10 1t has been learned that
the schooner "Harold l.. Berry,, Capt.
Hanna, OF Woolwich, was in collision
with an unknown schooner on the night
OF Nov. IL, somewhere mort h OF Cape Cod.
1t Is now believed that the unknown
vessel WAS the bailey, and that she
went down after the collision. The crew
OF five men and master may have been
but the chance is remote.
The Bailey" was owned by Augustus
Bailey, OF Gardiner, and was valued at
about So 600. She registered 3O6 tons net
and was built at Bath in 1881. The cargo
consisted OF $50 tons OF coal. The vessel
was partially insured.
Capt. Wyman WAS about forty years of
age. He has a wife and two children re-
siding at Isles oro.
The Bailey" has been considered a
rather unIucky craft. Before Capt. Wy
man took charge OF her, Capt. Jordan,
who was then commander, disappeared
while the vessel was at Boston, and was
never after heard from. With the cap
tain, also, went the vessels freight money,
so that it is not presumed that he met
with foul play Two years ago, as re-
ported in THE AMERICAN last week, the
schooner went on the rocks at Sullivan
Falls

To stffen sheer handkerchefs, laces,
wash silks, or any other thin ia brio it is
best to use gum arabic starch. To make
it put into a bottle one ounce OF gum
arabic and pour over it one cup OF cold
water; stand the bottle in a dish of cold
water, and place it over the fire until the
gum is dissolved; then strain it through
fine sieve or piece OF cheese cloth into
another bottle. When it is cold put in a
half gill Of alcohol, and it will keep and
be ready to use when needed. When
dainty laces are to be stiffened, half a
teaspoonful OF the starch, mixed with a
small cupful OF water, will give the lace
ample stiffness, adding larger amount
OF the starch as it is needed for different
fabrics.

ALDERMEN MEET.
AN ECHO OF THE OLD POLICE
MIDDLE.
ANOTHER ACTION BROUGHT AGAINST
THE CiTY-RoLLS OF ACCOUNTS
TAX DEEDS To BE SOLD.

faint echo of the old police muddle
was heard at the meeting OF the board of
aldermen Monday evening. Again the
city is the defendant in an act ion brought
to recover for salary OF one OF ex Mayor
Gerry's policemen.
The action il brought ON an order for
si6 80 in favor OF f.. T. Finn as day po-
liceman and signed by Mayor Gerry.
This order was presented to the treasurer,
who refused to honor it, as the. aldermen
had refused to approve the bill for ser
vices presented by MIR. Finn. The pres
ent action is brought by Lawyer James
NJ. Sanborn, OF Newport, Me-, in the Pc
nobscot county supreme court. The city
is cited to appear in Bangor on the first
Tuesday in January.
This action Is simply another phase of
the same old story, and Is brought as a
test case. The city will contest it, and
for that purpose the matter has been re-
ferred to Hale Il Hamiin.

MORE STEAMBOAT TALK.
\ Boat From Bangor to New York Is
Promised.


Although there have been numerous
rumors in the past few years to the effect
that a steamboat line was to be estab-
lshed between Bangor and New York or
Bar Harbor and New York, nothing has
ever come of them. Now comes the an
nouncement that there is very good
prospect that such line will be estab-
lished before many months.
1t Is understood that the company has
already been formed, or Is to be, consist
ing Of Philadelphia and New York men,
and that steel screw steamer, designed
for both freight and passenger traffic,
and fitted with all modern conveniences
and appliances, is to be built especially for
the line. The name of the new boat, it is
understood, is to be the "Aroostook".
The company will not wait for the new
steamer before beginning operations,
but will charter steamer for use until
the new one Is ready for sea.

WORK ON THE SHORE LINE

Business is progressing on the Shore
Line. As stated last week the clearing is
completed to the Austin farm, and crews
are now working there. Inc engineers
are now working between the Austin
farm and Franklin. and the clearing crews
are following them as fast rs the lines are
located.
The contractors grading at Franklin
teams on the work. More teams are
needed
correspondent writes from Franklin
that many men in search OF work have
been turned away. AT the railroad offices
in Ellsworth 1t WAS learned That the prln-
clpal reason for the turning away of men
was because the contractors We're running
no camps, and therefore only men who
could obtain board in the vicinity are
given work.
Another reason for the turning away OF
men Is that they ask for a special kind OF
work. Many of them want to do ledge
work, and at present there is none OF that
for them. Others ask to do carpenter
work. These men do not want to handle
pick and shovel.
The crews are gradually being increased
as the work warrants. A carload of
carts, wheel barroWs and tools arrived at
Ellsworth Tuesday. This indicates that
more men are to be put on.
Contractor kenetick is still busy with
sub-contractors. He returned Monday
from trip Of a few days to Boston and
New York, While away he met many
contractors and arranged with some OF
them for work.

Pale grew the dying lips of each.

And one kissed lock OF brown.
