OBTAINED WIDOWS MONEY.
Insurance Commissioner Carr After 9
Dilatory Company.

Yesterdays Boston Globe says: Steph-
en- B. Carr, insurance commissioner of
Maine, was In the city yesterday on
business connected with the insurance
department of his state. The depart
ment of Maine is not as busy as the Mas
snchusetts one, and when something hap
pens which the commissioner thinks
should be looked into. he doesn't wait
to write letter. but takes tie traia and
goes "gunning" for the offender.
Mr.. Carr came to Boston to see why a
poor widow had not received check for
$4,000, an amount to which she was fair
1y entitled rs the proceeds OF policy her
husband held in a Massachusetts, compa-
ny. The company had kept the woman
waiting for some time, then offered her
fraction of the original policy in set
Element. MIR. Carr became interested in
the case and came to see the company g
officers. He returned to Augusta last
night with his pocket book fattened
with certified check for $4,000.

Spring Point Ledge Lighthouse.

The new lantern. for the Spring Point
lighthouse, has arrived. 1t is fine
piece of mechanism, running by clock
work and giving 10 Hastings minute.
There are six sides to the lantern, which
1evolves twice a minute. The prisms at
the top are so arranged that the rays Of
light at the top of the lantern are reflect
ed downward to the centre. while prisms
at the bottom catch stray rays and reflect
them upward to the CENTRE thus
strengthening the power Of the light.
Tho lighthouse has been examined, but
not yet accepted by the government enRi-
neer. Every thing is understood to DO per-
fectly satisfactory, however, and the &C.
ceptance will probably come within "a
hours. AS soon as orders are received the
light will be placed in position and put
in working order. The structure is prac-
tically completed, but it will probably
be two or three weeks yet before the
light flashes out over the harbor.

Spring
Medic inc

Experience teaches the impor-
lance of special care of the health.
And fixed among the impor-
tant principles Of hygiene and health Il
the acknowledged necessity of good
Spring Medicine.
Just as firmly established by the ex-
periences Of millions Of people, is the
positive fact that Hoods Sarsaparilla
is sfar and away" the best blood puri-
fer and spring medicine ever produced.
The necessity is found in the i'm
pure condition of the blood at this
season, owing to the close confine-
ment and breathing vitiated air in Of
flee, store, shop, house, schoolroom
or factory; excessive eating and drink
ing too rich and hearty food; late
hours and social indulgences. With
the blood thus thick and impure, the
machinery Of life grinds hard.
Hoods Sarsaparilla purifes, vital
ICES and enriches the blood, builds up
and strengthens the nerves and tones
the stomach. 1t oils up the machinery
of the whole body; the liver takes up
its work anew, the kidneys resume
activity, the ache goes out Of the back,
the bowels are regulated, the appetite
restored, the food is relished and as
simulated.
Don't wait till you are thoroughly
sick before you begin to take Spring
Medicine.
Lock the door before the horse is
stolen.
Take Hoods Sarsaparilla now az a
preventive and it will pay you thou
sand fold in health and strength through
the coming summer.

Work on the County Bridges.

The county commissioners went out to
Martin Points bridge yesterday after
noon to make an inspection of that struc-
ture. They report that the Portland and
Yarmouth railroad is about ready to lay
their tracks across this bridge.
The county commissioners say that
work will be commenced on the repairing
of the westerly side of Portland bridge In
about ten days. The job will not be a
very expensive one for the county as this
side of the bridge ia in pretty good con-
dftiOn,

THAT WASHINGTON ST. BRIDGE.
VIII Cost $50, 600 and Railroads VIII Pay
Part Of the Expense.

The building of new bridge ON Wash
ington street, over the Marginal way, a
short distance south of Tukey's bridge,
is just now matter of considerable in
terest to the city, the Portland & Roches-
ter railroad company, the Portland Rail-
road company and the Yarmouth cleo
trio road. Soon after the Marginal way
was built the Portland & Rochester &C.
cured the privilege of laying tracks on
it. That road now owns land on each
side of Washington street, adjoining the
Marginal way and they propose to lay
their tracks over on their own property,
but they must cross the Marginal way
at the point which lies under the Wash
ington street. bridge.
A new bridge must be built and the
question at issue before the board OF
railroad commissioners Thursday was
how the expense of erecting the bridge
should be divided since it does not seem
right for the city to bear the whole bur-
den.
Mr.. Fern aid, commissioner of public
works, said yesterday that in his opinion
the city should not bear more than half
the expense Of erecting the new bridge.
The two electric roads have practically
agreed to pay one eighth of the expense.
That would leave one quatrer of the
amount to be paid by the Portland &
Rochester. 1t will cost in the neighbor-
hood OF $40, 900 to erect such bridge as
is needed.
Yesterday afternoon representatives of
the Portland & Rochester road, the two
eleo5ric roads and the city have been in
consultation. They are making an effort
to come to an AMIGA BILE agreement as
to the amount each one should pay to-
wards the erection of the new bridge. If
the parties find themselves unable to
agree the railroad commissioners will be
called upon to apportion the expense.
