THE WisCAssET AND QUEBEC.
Important Hearing in This City
Today.

The Question Whether the Little Road
Can Get Across the Maine Central a,
Burnham by a Grade Crossing.
delegation of attorneys and railroad
men arrived In this city last evening to
attend the hearing before the railroad
commissioners at the West End hotel
this forenoon, at 10. m. This hearing
is in continuation of one already begun
at Durham in relation to the crossing
OF the Maine Central and Wiscasset &
Quebec road at that place.
The interests of the Maine Central will
De represented by Hon. E. E. Webb OF
"aterville, who is attorney for the Maine
central in that portion of the state. The
Wlscasset & Quebec will be represented
by hon. Charles l.. ttlefeld of Rock
land, and by Judge Warren G. Philbrook
OF Waterville who is general counsel OF
the Wiscasset & Quebec road. The point
OF difference between the roads is as tt
the KIND of crossing. The Maine Contra
does not object to crossing; but says tina
IL should not be at grade. The w. g. Q
line ought to go either over or under the
Maine Central. This latter road will
urge that grade crossings are unsafe and
troublesome. and that in other states
new ones are prohibited and old ones ART
done away with as rapidly as possible.
The Wiscasset & Quebec people,, on the
other hand, will argue that to compel al
overhead or underneath crossing is
practically to prohibit their line crossing
at all, since they would not be able to
bear the great expense Of the grading
They will also argue that grade CROSSING
have been allowed freely in Maine hereto
fore, and that to step in now and compe
another and very expensive method is to
put unfair burden upon the young ant
struggling railroad.
The Wiscasset and Quebec is now push
ing on from Albion to Pittstield At tn
latter place it will connect with an exist
ing line to Hartland In order to get tt
Pittsdeld and its junction with the roat
there it must cross the Maine Centra
track at Burnham.
Hence it may be said that the result
this hearing will determine whether thu
two little railroads may unite, or whethe
they must remain apart in single
blessedness not favorable to dividends OF
the stock

COTTAGE CITY SOLD.
Will Probably Carry Klondikers to
Gold Fields.

Maine Steamship Company Disposed. of
This Fine Boat Yesterday.
The officials of the Maine Steamship
company at this port have received word
runs betweenithis port and New York, was
sold yesterday morning at the latter port.
The names of the purchasers are not
known here; but before the John Englis
sailed, party of California gentlemen
were dined on board, and it is thought
that the steamer has teen sold to them
for use on the route to the Klondike.
There was rumor some time ago that
the Cottage City was to be bought for
such purpose, and there was some
foundation for the rumor.
The Cottage City has been running to
New York and return this summer in
connection with the Manhattan and John
Englis. Her next sailing days would
have been the 22nd and Goth of this
month; but these dates have been can
celled on account of the sale.
The Cottage City is relatively a new
boat, and she is sold probably because the
business of the company has outgrown
her rather than for any other reason. She
was built at Bath in 1890. She is of 1885
gross tons, 2S3 feet long, 40 feet breadth
and 20 feet deep.
The Cottage City Is a little larger than
the Winthrop; which was built in 1887,
and which was superseded some years
ago.
old Franoonia Quilt in 1869 and the
Eleanora Quilt in 1874.)
The disposal of the Cottage City leaves
only the Manhattan and John Englis on
he line. But new boat, of the size and
style of the Englis is to be built.

up and saw the four men less than
100 feet away behind stumps. I

two or three other shots were fred
and the bullets knocked the dirt
in my eyes and one of them grazed

thought ! was done for. When I
got my gun I jumped back into the
cut and we began our little FIGHT.
Both sides were we'll protected and
we stood each other off for three
hours. They had Winchesters.
"They didn't succeed in hitting
me any more, but got even by
striking one in the shoulder and
another in the hips. When they
came up ! had fourteen cartridges.
When we quit l had one left and
thought l was done for. But the
boys from town came out and the
other fellows skipped"
Mr.. Huff says the Gilt Edge is
not a big mine, but it is very rich.
