Railroad Commissioners Report

The full board of railroad commits
sioners were in session, at Augusta,
Monday, and prepared the certificates
describing the physical condition of the
different roads in the State, which were
mailed to the various companies, Tues
day. As rule the reports given by the
commissioners are first-class, but they
find some roads in bad shape, and sadly
in need of improvement.
Following are items in their report re-
latng to roads in Somerset:
Somerset Railwav-Eleven hundred
tons of new 60-pound steel. 5000 ties and
300 tons of selected secondhand iron has
been laid. Two bridges have been re-
newed, three repaired and three good
substantial culverts built. All are kept
in condition credtable to the manager,
Mr.. w. NJ. Aver.
Sebasticook & Moosehead-rhe roll
ing stock is somewhat worn, but is kept
in fairly good repair
Waterville & Fairfeld-The roadbed
and track are in poor condition. New
rails are needed, especially through Main
street, Waterville, and the tracks need
to be aligned and surfaced. The rolling
stock is in fair condition.
Skowhegan 81 Norridgewt ck-This
road has been much improved. Two
thousand yards of ballast and 300 ties
have been used in repairs and improve
ments. The trestle bridge has been re-
paired and strengthened.

The Grange Building.

The dedication of the Grange building,
Saturday last, the 27th instant, was an
event of much importance to Skowhegan
Grange, No. POS, and, incidentally, to
the order in Somerset county.
Mr.. S. F. Emerson, one of the most
prominent members and grange workers
in the county, from whose ready and
facile pen much of interest to REPORTER
readers has appeared in our columns for
many years, kindly consented to favor
US with an account of the impressive
dedicatory exercises. and it appears else
where in our paper this week, to which
our readers are cited for the particulars
so far as those outside the gates are al
lowed to know.
We have heretofore given brief de-
scription of this building, but repeti-
ton of this, and the giving of further
details, seems to De in order at this time.
The main building is 3Sx55 feet with
front for entrance, stairway, ladies par
lor, ante room, ETC., 22x30 #. The main
building sets side on Pleasant street
with the extension on front, midway the
main building with end fronting Pleas
ant street. The first floor is TO be used
for a kitchen, coat room, and the largest
dining room in Somerset county, 3SX55.
The second floor is to be used for the
main society hall, ladies parlor, 22xl6
and an ante room, 9x22. The main hall
is 3Sx55 It. The hight of the first story
is 10 feet in the clear and that Of the
second IA feet. The building is heavily
timbered and ironed In manner to place
its strength beyond question, aud the
foundation is as strong as masonry can
make it.
The floors are of hard wood through
out. The finish is of tasteful design and
good workmanship. The kitchen a
model of convenience with ample cup
boards, drawers, sinks, etc. The ladies'
parlor is particularly pleasant room,
the ante rooms, coat rooms, closets,
stairways, halls. etc, are admirably
adapted to the uses for which they were
designed. A stage II tt. wide is taken
from the west end of the main hall and
drop curtain painted by Mr.. Stephen
Graffam of Wentworth & Oaks furniture
establishment, has been put in place and
was used at the concert given .Wednes-
day evening, for the first time.
Settles and chairs are used for seating
purposes, and the building is at present
heated by stoves in the different rooms.
1t is probable that a change in the heat
ing apparatus will be made later. The
whole building is amply lighted by in
candescent electric lights, 1t is plumbed
and supplied with water from the public
system. The location is central and yet
not in the noisy streets. 1t is the
home of the largest society in member
ship, and is the best society home owned
by any similar organization in Somerset
county, aud one of the best in Maine
Skowhegan Grange numbers upward of
300 members. The compile ion of its
new home has stimulated its growth,
and large accessions are expected dur
ing the winter months. Long may
Skowhegan Grange live and flourish

BOwdOin Catalogue.

The recently issued catalogue of Bow
dom college for the years 1898 shows
the largest enrolment of students in the
history of the college. The total of 1888
is divided as follows Medical students,
40, seniors, 81, juniors, 81, sophomores,
So, freshmen, 50, special students, 6.
The appearance in the list of the faculty
of the names of five assistants in as
many departments, indicates that Presi-
dent Hyde's idea of supplementing the
regular classroom instruction of the
professors by the personal work of Off
cial tutors, is being given trial. The
attention of teachers is especially called
to the changes in the requirements for
admission in Latin and Greek that go
into operation in 1898. These involve
different methods of preparatory study
rather than an increased amount OF work,
and have been recommended by the
commission of the New England COL
leges on entrance examinations,

Elli0tt-Savage.

One Of the noteworthy weddings in
town this year WAS that of William r.
Elliott and Miss Alta F. Savage, which
took place at the home of the latter on
Alder street on Wednesday evening last,
December first. The skies were snowy
but the light and cheer within made all
forget the storm without.
The ceremony was performed by Rev.
e. V. Hanson In the presence of about
twenty-five relatives and friends. The
full service OF the Episcopal church was
used. The bride wore white silk and
carried brides roses. The bridesmaid
was Miss Gertrude K. Goodwin. The
best man WAS James w. Elliott, brother
of the groom, of North Andover, Mass,
Mark W. Savage, brother of the bride,
gave her away.
The room was very appropriately
decorated. After the ceremony an ex-
cellent collation. was served. Misses
Flora Reed and Dora Goodwin presided
at the table, and were aided by Misses
Gertrude E. Goodwin, Mabel Perkins
and Ethel l.. Clough.
The bride is native of our town, a
graduate of the high school in the class
OF 80, and is deservedly popular among
her large circle of friends. Mr.. Elliott
came from Massachusetts, little less
than four years ago, and is the head
bookkeeper and stenographer at the
Coburn wooden mill. He has won many
friends in his new home. A pleasant
feature of the occasion was the attend
anee of the grooms mother, Mrs.
Robert Elliott, of North Andover, Mass.
The happy couple received a large
number of beautiful and useful presents.
1t is pleasant to know that they are to
reside on Alder street, and that our town
gains and not loses a household by this
union. They have the congratulations
of all their friends upon their marriage.

There is strong opposition to post
master General Gary's scheme for postal
savings banks. Bank Examiner Timber
lake has put himself on record as decid-
edly opposed to the project, as iuimical
to the financial good of the eastern
States. He is satisfied that the measure
would be of advantage to the West, but
would work disastrously to the East.
He believes that the movement for the
postal savings banks had its origin in
Chicago, and that men there who were
interested in the scheme were flooding
the East with literature in favor of it.
He is receiving replies from all parts of
the State in regard to the circular letter
that he recently mailed to bank presi-
dents and business men in general, con-
corning the postal savings bank scheme,
and every reply thus far, he says, shows
that they agree with him in the matter,
that it would be bad thing for the East
il the postal system WAS put into prac
tice. Ii does not follow because postal
savings banks work we'll in England
that they will be equally beneficial in
this country where the conditions are
very different.

The German government is inclined to
be overbearing and to encroach upon the
rights of other nations. A despatch
from Shanghai says that the japanese
newspapers are discussing the probabili-
ty of war between Germany and China,
the result of the occupation of X 40 Chou
bay by the Germans and assert that the
German minister to China, Baron Won
Heyking is preparing to leave Pekin.
That government had under consideEa-
ton the sending of a war ship to Port au
Prince, Hayti, to enforce payment Of
indemnity to German subject for alleg-
ed false Imprisonment but has abandon
ed it upon demonstration of L. $.
Minister White.
