Judge Andrews did something a lit
tie out Of his usual routine of business,
Wednesday evening, which met with
the hearty approval of all who were
present. A fellow had been unmerci-
fully beating his horse on Water street,
and as no officer happened to be IN
that locality at the time, he paid no
heed to the remonstrance offered by
witnesses. Judge Andrews happened
along, however. and while listening to
the story of the affair the fellow went
by and was pointed out to him. Tne
Judge is a man who condemns mans
cruelty to dumb animals. and In less
time than it takes to write it, he had
the horse by the head and was leading
him toward City hall, where he secured
the mans name and notified him to be
present at court in the morning.

THE new RAIL ROAD
through to Pennington that
Is Now Being Surveyed
BY the Kennebec & Franklin Railroad
Company Of Augusta,
Will Fun Through Some Of Most Beautiful and
Picturesque Scenery in Maine.

Not long ago company was formed.
in this city, called The Kennebec &
Franklin Railroad Co. with the follow
ing officers: President, p. O. Vickery:
clerk, H. M. Heath; treasurer, M. v.
B. Chase; directors. p. 0. vickery, ].
Manchester Haynes, John F. Hill.
George E. Macomber and c. w. Jones
What they propose to do is to con-
struct railroad from this city through
to Pennington. When the public
learned who the men behind the pro-
ject were and We're confident of doing
they began to feel assurance that the
road would be carried through to a
success, and there has been nothing to
modify that view of it,
1t seems to be a foregone conclusion
that Augusta is to have another rail-
road.
Surveying parties are at work on
both ends of the proposed line, one
party on the Pennington end under
Engineer Keith and one on the Au-
gusta end under Hon. Parker p. Spot
ford. The Keith party are now as far
as West Mount Vernon and the Spot
ford party are a short way beyond
Manchester ...
The survey is very easy one, as it
is almost plain sailing going through
fields and following around the shores
of ponds. The road is to be of narrow
gauge and to connect with the Maine
Central near the White ice house prop
erty. Wharves are to be built at this
point. The road is to run up through
Oakwood park, where, for the present,
the passenger station will probably be
built. From here the survey runs up
the valley few miles and through a
strip of woods to Manchester. Fron
there down near Hammond's Grove
following the west shore of Cobbossee-
contee to Baileyville, to the east shore
of Lake Maranocook at point about
mile out OF w lnlHTOp, tuTouSH
Winthrop up the west side of the lake
about a half mile, then direct to
North Wayne, through West Mount
Vernon and Mount Vernon, running
within about three-quarters of a mile
of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary and
about the same from Fayette Mills. 1t
will then run through Vienna to New
Sharon and then up Sandy river to
Pennington. 1t is not at all unlikely
that a branch road may be built down
the east side of Wayne pond.
The survey shows a very easy road
to build and is highly satisfactory to
those interested.
That the road will be of great i'm
portance to the country through which
It passes, there can be no doubt, and
all the people along the way are very
favorably disposed towards it and are
helping in every way possible.
One thing is certain, there will not be
a more beautiful and picturesque line
in the State, as it runs by seven of the
most beautiful lakes in Kennebec and
| Franklin counties.

A member of the delegation of the
Maine G. A. R., who went to Buralo
says there were two members OF the
party worthy Of special mention. One
was an old gentleman from over east.
who is the father of II children and has
92 grandchildren all living. The ques-
ton naturally come to mind: Does he
give them a present each birthday?
The other remarkable man was one OF
those constitutional liars. At one sta
ton he got off and upon his return said
that he received word that he was to
act as one of seven to receive the Pres
ident. All the way out he talked OF
the generals and colonels, ETC., with
whom he was acquainted but when he
reached Buffalo no one knew him.
