Tho prln Toward Gold.

While Mr. Bryan aud his associates,

fully TO renewing what they call the
battle for silver" at tho next congress

commission has just been appointed to
visit the European governments in the

world an unmistakable drift toward the

indicate that their mission will be fruit

A LONG LIFE.
Mrs. Hannah Robinson Died, Thurs
day, Aged l02 Years, 8 Months.
Mind Was Clear 10 the Very Last-Had Been
III Only Month.

On Thursday afternoon al $50 o'clock
at the summer home of her grapd-daugh-
ter, Mrs. Anna s. Hunt, by Lake Cobs
bosseecontee. Mrs. Hannah Robinson
passed away after the long life journey
of 1o2 years
She had been a sufferer from bronchitis
for week, and the circumstances of the
death are peculiarly affective, as her
daughter, Mrs S. G. Sargent. has been
seriously i'll for four weeks, and in her
extreme weakness the mind of the mother
often turned anXiously to the sick one in
the room adjoining her own
Up to the very last Mrs Robinson was
in full power of her faculties. She was
sitting in her chair half an hour previous
to her death, when She rose feeling her
last Illness coming on, and went to her
bed.
Her age is remarkable in itself. but
when it is considered that practically up
to the past few weeks she had been quite
well and able to do light work in the
way of knitting and sewing her life has
been 4 very wonderful one.
Mrs. Robinson was born in HaIloWeu.
in the part now known as Chelsea. April
30, 1875. so she was at the time of her
death nearly l02 years and months of
age.
The funeral services will be held on
Saturday afternoon at go o'clock, at the
First Baptist church.

SURVEY TO SOON COMMENCE.
Two Crews will Start in on Proposed Route
Of kennebec & Franklin r. r.

The preliminary steps of building a
railroad naturally are those 10 deter
mine the cost of the same, as nearly
as possible. This necessity with a view
of establishing the probable expense o.
building railroad from Augusta to
Pennington, is receiving the attention
of two crews who Will, in a few days,
under the direction of the well known
civil engineer. Hon. Parker Spofford az
Bucksport, make a survey of the pro-
posed route.
1t will take about three weeks to
complete the work. One crew VIA
start at New Sharon, as the part from
Pennington to that point has already
been surveyed; the other at West
Mount Vernon to work in the direction
of Augusta.
The result will be awaited with much
interest. The building of the road is
of vital interest to this city, and bust
ness men are generally well aware Of
it.
The trade which would be brought to
Augusta from the several towns which
it would reach and which by pro-
pinquity belong to Augusta. is very
considerable and decidedly worth max

When anyone plays joke" on Mel

ton which one of all enjoys it the
most. Commodore Smith or the per
are skunks of untold numbers about
Lake Cobbosseecontee. They haven't
proved troublesome as yet and a little
trapping will do away with them. Mr..
Smith is a hater of skunks and no
coward. So, when few evenings ago,
on the departure of Commodore r. w.
Soule from Commodore Smiths cottage.
where the former had been passing the
evening. a putative skunk was seen in
the grove. Commodore Smith was no
runaway. Armed with a broom, he
stealthily approached the figure in the
uncertain light. AS he advanced it re-
ceded Commodore Soule also backing
away, some distance off, praying Com
lest the skunk modest him. On went
the pursuer until after following the
object of his hunt past trees nearly to
the edge of clearing, he got near
enough to strike an awful blow at it,
H hit it squarely in the eye, he
thought, and with broom elevated and
with a cry that aroused his neighbols.
again he came down with full force up
on his victim. Commodore Soule then
laughed. as Commodore Soule well can.
He made the welkin ring. he did. And
the genial Commodore Smith did like
wise when he discovered that his skunk
was no other than a bundle of rags at
tached by string to his receding lrothcl
of the Cobbosseecontee Yacht Club,

Mr.. Bryan's silk night shirt is still
nightmare to the average editor of the
country, who seems to see in it lack
of harmony with Mr.. Bryan's various
professions aud methods. Mr.. Bryan
has quite changed his habits since last
fall. 1t will be remembered that he
went about the country shortly after the
nomination assiduously assisting the
baggage-master in putting his trunk
aboard the trains, appearing upon the
platforms in his shirt sleeves and during
his speech making tours in a SO al
paca coat. All these thing have changed
however, since Mr.. Bryan has come to
the front as moneyed man, reclining
in the lap of luxury and favoring a

more than a living at best, and where
now his last years crops have all been
