Safety Demands Those Hydrants.

Some time ago the merchants along
Main street advanced the suggestion
that two fire plugs be placed in Charles
street, in order that the buildings on
that street and the rear of the stores
on the west side of Main street might
be better protected. AS it is now, there
is plug at the corner of Main and
Temple streets and another near the
junction of Charles and Silver streets.
There is distance of at least 500 feet
between each of the plugs and the CEN
ter of Charles street. Should a fire start
in rear of Soper & Co.'S store, only two
plugs are at hand to use, and with two
lines from each plug of 1000 feet to a
plug means very perceptible diminu-
ton of the force of water Then again.
in case of a bad fire in that section of
the city. and in rear of that magnificent

The continuous block of bricks from
the corner of Silver street to the Giroux

They Play Their Last Card.

There is no denying that the opponents
of the City hall have held some pretty
good cards, most of them trumps, in the
game Of stopping the building of City
hall. Thus far in the game the trumps
were small ones and the tricks have
turned against them. The highest left is
about to be played, and if it takes the
trick they will have the satisfaction of
stopping the game for while at least.
Ever since the project to build the City
hall was first started the opposition
looked ahead and saw where the finish
of the game was and between whom
The injunction has been known to be the
last resort, and that would only be
brought into service after all the other
points in the game had been scrutiniZed
OF course, there are those in the city
that are known to be redhot opposers of
the scheme to build, but their opposition
has been worked in talk. Now the time
comes for some one to go on record. and
the record will probably be made. today.
Rumor has had it that both Mr.. Eaton.
the city solicitor. and Alderman Boutelle
were interested in the move to ask the
court for an injunction. but both gentle
men told the Journal, yesterday, that

The Mayor Bought the Sheep.

dead sheep on his hands. He hopes Il
dispose of them to the State authori-
ties Here's what brought about the
purchase.
Waterville, May 10.
This is to certify that |. w. II. Sturte-
want. claim from the city on the Stat
the sum of one hundred dollars for the
killing of eighteen sheep and lambs by
dogs in said city and injurins eight or
ten others by dogs.
w. H. Sturtevant.
The mayor called into the case Dan
Libby and Mr. Merrill, well known
sheep buyers, and asked them to set
price that the city should pay. The
gentlemen returned each his indivi-
dual appraisal. One returned $50 and
the other SIS. The mayor split the
difference" and called it $3.50 and that
sum will go into the expense account
for the month of May.
This little trade of the mayors may
have a tendency to hasten the demise
of the unlicensed dogs of Waterville.
