kExNEBec COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Locate Road in OakIand-Warrant Of Dis.
tress Denied in Maine Water Co. Case.

The Kennebec county commissioners,
Hons. Ruel c. Burgess, Samuel Smith
and Sewall Pettingill had regular
meeting, Thursday, at the court house
after their visit to Oakland on Wednes-
day, where they defined the bounds of
10 Lots Road" so called, which ex
tends from the Maine Central Railroad
station to the ten lots. The road was
defined to the house of I. n. Bates.
The commissioners, Thursday, denied
the petition for a warrant of distress
to w. B. Arnold at Sarah Furbush in
the case of the Maine Water Company.
The petitioners it will be remembered,
wanted the water company to enter
and take the land and water privileges on
the Messalonskee stream in Waterville,
which the commissioners, on being
called upon, some time ago, decreed
that $3.50 be fair price for the same
the said land privileges, etc, being
owned by the petitioners. Since then
the Maine Water Company decided not
to locate upon the land, and the owners
of the land issued the petition for the
warrant of distress, which warrant
was denied.

A GREAT CIRCUS EVENT.
The Big Consolidation oi tho Greater Cir
cusss Coming 10 Augusta.

When it was reliably confirmed that
| the Sells Brothers, J. A. Bailey and
Col. w. +. Cody--Buffalo Bill-repre-
senting the three most famous and
successful shows in the world, had
made compact to avoid senseless OPP
position and overtaxing the patronage
of any section. there was a howl of sur
prise among the animals, and some of
the inferior concerns have vainly
striven to cast odium and suspicion
upon the genuineness and motives OF
the momentous deal. Speaking of it
the always reliable and conservative
New York Times editorially said:
The Great Adam Forepaugh Show
was founded nearly half a century ago,
and purchased by Mr.. Bailey on the
death of its owner in 1890. 1t was fa-
nous for its menageries. These. to-
gether with the cages, horses, and all
the material of the Forepaugh Show.
will now be added to the already big
show of the Sells Brothers,"
This combination was widely an
nounced by the press as a matter Of
unusual Importance and interest. and
the papers of over hundred cities.
from New York to San Francisco, have
since pronounced it fact, resulting in
most stupendous, magnificent and
honorable entertainment. Its appear
ance in Augusta on Friday. August 20,
serves notice that no other big show
will visit this section this season. and
is a warning to inferior ones, which
most of them will heed, to our great
relief and benefit.
Among the aggregation of pageants,
marvels, acts and merry making per-
largest finest, and only double free
street parade. three distinct herds of
performing elephants. educated in diff
ferent schools; two grand menageries,
neither of which has ever been sur
passed in either size or quality. and
which contain many rare wild beasts
never before exhibited. and nowhere
else to be seen; circus confederation
including four rings, two Olympian
stages. an animal arena, amphbious
actors. a thrilling aerial exhibition,
and introducing something like a hun
dred brilliant and novel acts by the
most noted of home and foreign artists;
and a gay, glorious. and rushing pro-
gramme of the hippodrome races of
Neros era and the thoroughbred strug-
giles of these fast times, in which wild
beasts fleet horses, and famous male
and female charioteers, jockeys, and
bareback riders will break the record
and create a furore. The event will
mark new and greater era in the
most popular kind of entertainment

TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Mads By Railroad Commissioners, In REGARD
to Portland and Dsering Bridges.

The railroad commissioners held their
regular monthly meeting. Thursday, at
the State House, after returning from
their trip over the proposed location of
the Oxford Central Railroad.
The commissioners decided as follows
In regard to the matter of the bridge at
Marginal way and Falmouth street
over the Portland & Rochester Railroad
track in Portland: The Portland &
Rochester Railroad Co. may cross the
marginal way and Falmouth street at
grade with two main tracks and may
cross Washington street with an under
grade crossing subject to the conditions
prescribed by the city of Portland
The city Of Portland shall construct
a substantial bridge over the Portland
& Rochester tracks, to be at least Is
feet in the clear above the tracks of the
road. which shall be 95 feet clear dis
tance between abutments. The rail-
way is to be 40 feet clear width and the
bridge is to be sufficiently strong to
carry the loaded cars of the Portland
Railroad Co. and cf the Portland &
Yarmouth Electric Railway Co.. each
of which are permitted to cross the
bridge with a single track.
Portland is to keep and maintain the
bridge, except the planking between the
rails of each of the Electric Railroads
which pass over it.
The Portland & Rochester Railroad
Co is to pay $4S44; the Portland Rail-
road Co. $2422; the Portland & Var
mouth Electric Railway Co. $2422. The
balance of the expenses will be paid
by the city of Portland. The total cost
of the bridge will be $22, ,040. The Bos-
ton Bridge Co. is to build the bridge.
The commissioners made an impor-
tant decision in regard to the bridge at
Veranda street. Deering, over the
Grand Trunk Railroad. They decide
that, as the present bridge is more than
so years old it must necessarily be re-
placed by new one i'm the near future.
to accommodate the crossing of the
cars of the Electric Railroad The
Grand Trunk Railway Co. is to re-
build and repair the abutments of the
present bridge so as to give the new
bridge a span of 50 feet. 1t will be of
steel plate and of sufficient strength to
carry the loaded cars of the Portland &
Yarmouth Electric Railway Co. This
road will run one track across the
bridge. The Grand Trunk or it's lessor
is to construct and generally maintain
the bridge.
The Portland & Yarmouth Co. is to
pay the Grand Trunk Railway Co. $3.50.
The cost of the bridge is about $4,000.
The commissioners have given formal
approval of the Penobscot Central Rail-
road, as constructed in Bangor from
West Market square to the wharf, and
have granted the road permission to
operate the same.
