SULLIVAN-HANCOCK FERRY.
Capt. Jesse X. Mitchell has Bought 1t
from f.. f.. Abbott.


The ferry between West Sullivan and
Hancock has been sold by Ernest E.
Abbott, to Capt. Jesse X. Mitchell, OF
the "Sebenoa". The price paid was
1880, which does not include the napht ha
launch.
The ferry has been the source of con-
sidera bic discussion and some hard feel
ing in West Sullivan for some time. 1t
has also received attention from the State
legislature and the county commissioners.
Last year the Legislature was petitioned
for a charter for another ferry. The pc
titioners were opposed by Mr.. Abbott,
and the matter was finally compromised
by Mr.. Abbott's offering to run naphtha
launch for the accommodation of foot
passengers, provide waiting rooms, and
make other improvements, prior to July l
OF this year
Mr.. Abbott bought the naphtha launch
and made the improvements, but com
plant was made that he did not run the
launch often enough. Mr. Abbott argued
that when the fiat boat had to be used
to carry teams across the ferry, he ought
not to be expected to run the launch at t he
same time. The matter was finally made
the subject of a complaint to the county
commissioners, and n hearing was APP
pointed for last Thursday, at Milton hall.
At the hearing Mr.. Abbott offered to
sell the ferry, and B. w. Brown, OF Mil
bridge, acting for Capt. Mitchell, bought
it at the price named. The new owner
assumes all the obligations undertaken
by Mr.. Abbott. 1t is understood that
Capt. Mitchell will take personal charge
OF the ferry, and it is said he will estab-
lish steam ferry.
