our prediction is that just enough has
been done TO render that street inn
passable next winter. Holes are filled
with loose earth. Flat places and de-

scraper work, unless the bed is well
rounded up so as to shed water, might
better be left undone.

MAYORS TO MEET
To Talk Good Government and Advertise
Biddeford.

To have meeting of dozen Maine and
New Hampshire mayors, more or less, and
talented speakers on modern economical
municipal government is an idea that Score.
tary Howard Hamilton, of the Biddeford
municipal association, has originated and
given some consideration. He has gone SO
far as to write Mayor Pingree of Detroit, the
former Saco and Biddeford mill operative,
and who has just been declared unable to
legally act as mayor and governor both, and
Saturday received most gracious letter,
accepting the proposition to come to this city
this summer and talk N this subject.
MI. Hamilton would have the mayors OF
Maine and New Hampshire cities gather
here as guests of the municipal association.
accompanied by several influential business
men who might be interested, from each
city, and discuss the workings of the mod
ern reform government, show them what it
has done and is doing here, and Try and ex-
tend it to other places.
He thinks it would be of more practica
benefit in advertising the city Alright than
all the boards of trade could effect by meet
ing here once a month.
Mr.. Hamilton told Mayor Emery of Port is
mouth about the idea few days ago, and
that official was delighted and became in
terested at once, and told MI. Hamilton he
was ready at any time to come and would
bring some influential men. The programme
is something that would take care of itself
in due time. Mayor Pingree comes to Old
Orchard summers and is the promoter of
this idea most SUCCESSFULLY in the West and
has done Anuch for Detroit in this way He
would doubtless be drawing card for the
session, and it would bring. to the city some

in the Portland papers that Rheu-

Chronic Case
RHEUMATISM.

The Wonderful and True Cure of Se-
rious and CHRONIC CASE OF RHEU-
MATISM-Capt. Edward L. Parsons,
One Of New England's Lsading Naviga-
tors, for upwards Of IS years.
This well known man, Captain of the
pilot boat maggie during all this time
has never met with an accidental req
ord that any man might justly feel proud
of. At all seasons of the year, exposed
to all kinds of weather, he has met all
the great ocean steamships that sail into
the harbor of Portland and safely piloted
them to their destination. There Is
hardly a man, woman or child in Port
land who does not know and highly re-
spect this genial, whole-souled man.
The Captain has been for the past Is
years subject to severe and most painful
attacks of Rheumatism, greatly aggra-
waited by being exposed to all sorts of
weather, being out both night and day,
and his was case considered incurable,
owing to the many exposures and
changes of weather. met with in his call
ing.
By faithful use of our Great Niagara
Rheumatic and Kidney Cure he is today
not only relieved of all pain and suffer-
ing, but entirely cured Of that terrible
disease, rheumatism, and able to stand
the most inclement weather without
any return Of his old enemy. and most
cheerfully recommends its use to all
sufferers from rheumatism and kidney

quent intervals during this time the dis
ease has developed into severe attacks,
which have confined him to his bed for
months at time.
In the winter of 1891, he thinks this
being the worst attack he has ever expe-
rienced, he was So bad that ne could not
raise hand or foot, and was moved about
only upon sheets. his suffsripgs being SO
great that his screams could easily be
heard for blocks away; powerful opiates
being his only relief. Since that terrible
attack he has had partial immunity from
the disease, until finally again this fall
he felt its slow but sure approach, and
felt as though life were burden and
that no cure for his old chronic case
could 30 obtained.
To make long story short. he heard
of the wonderful cures being performed
by the Great Niagara Rheumatic and
Kidney Cure, and upon the principle Of
while there is life there is hope, he decid-
ed he would make ono more trial. He
procured package of the Remedy, and
in the remarkable short space of four
weeks he was entirely relieved Of all
suffering and finds himself rapidly re-
covering his health in all other respects.

Some of the Italians are drifting back and
getting in readiness to resume work on the
Washington county railroad. Frank Omaly,
an Italian boss, who has several camps on
the line, has returned with ten of his coun-
trymen, and expects fifty more in a few
days. He reports that he was at Calais last

ELECTRICs FOR OXFORD.
A meeting of the citizens of Oxford was
held at Robinson Hall on Wednesday to lis
ten to the proposal of Messrs. Eastman and
Clifford to build an electric railroad from
Oxford Station through Welchville to Ok
ford village. They make the statement
from figures shown them by the station
agent that 3760 passenger tickets were sold
during the past year and more than 700 tons
of freight were handled in the same time.
MI. Eastman assured those present that the
road could be built and put in running order
for $4,000, and Mr.. Clifford stated if the
matter was as represented he would furnish
$4,000 if the town would loan her credit for

BIDDEFORD'S RAILROAD FACILITIES.
An effort is being made by the Boston 81
Maine to purchase land along the southerly
side of the Western division track between
Main and Spruce streets, Biddeford, and a
story had it that the Intention of the COM
pany is to erect station nearer M ain street
than the present one Local railroad
officials, however, say that they have heard
othIng about the matter, and it is not
thought probable that new station would
be located on the southerly side of the track
if one were to be built.
Two parties who own land and buildings
near the railroad have been approached for
trade, and now have offers from the rail-
road company under consideration. The
story that a station is to be built is credited
to visiting official, who said it would be a
union affair for both Eastern and Western
divisions. Railroad men say that difficulty
in the way of bringing the Eastern division
to the same station as the Western would
be that it would be necessary to have anoth-
er track laid from the Eastern division and
there is trouble about doing his on account
