A DREARY VIGIL.
Woman Alone Three Months
in a Far-of Lighthouse.
Her Husband, the Keeper, Carried
Out to Sea on an Ice floe.
During All the Lonely Watch She Kept The
Light Brightly Burning.

Boston. June IA special to the Tran

A tragic story from the lonely lighthouse

of st. Lawrence, so miles northeast of the
Magdalen Islands. has been brought here

Campbell and two seal hunters had
been carried out to sea on the ice, three
months ago, and probably persisted Mrs.
Campbell ever since has kept her lonely
vigil on the rock. tending the lights
nightly and watching for her husband
by day. The skipper OF the supply steam

to get through the winter. She said:

THE BAY BRIDGE.
Knotty Question for Sagadahoc
County to Settle, June 7.
Shall the Bridge Be Pebuilt q State
ment Of Its Past History.
Will Cost Not Less Than $4,000 and May
Go Much Higher.

Richmond, June 3.-(Special)-At
last the Bay bridge question,
which has been agitated for years, con-
fronts the voters of Sagadahoc county,
June I, having been fixed as the time
when the voting population will have
an opportunity to express their views
in relation to the property of rebuild
ing the much-talked about structure.
The bridge was built by private parties
in 1886 and was transferred by them by
gift to the county in 1878, the latter be-
ing authorized to accept and maintain
it according to the provisions of the
grant of 1885.
The bridge proved bad investment
from the first SO much so that after
maintaining it for period of more
than 40 years the proprietors were glad
to shoulder it upon the county without
consideration. At the annual town
meeting in 1873, 227 votes were cast
against accepting the bridge and Is
for it, but the county as whole cast
small majority vote in favor of max
ing it county affair.
The arguments in use We're precisely
the same as the friends of the bridge
are spreading broadcast throughout
the county now. 1t was then argued
that the bridge would be self-support-
ing and provide for sinking fund, but
instead of their statements being veri-
fled by facts, large debt appears on
the other side of the journal.
gentleman who has made study
of the question furnished the Journal
representative with the following fig
ures, which show what the actual ex-
pense of the bridge has been to the
county since the act of 1878 went into
effect:

The same gentleman who has served
on the board of county commissioners
asserts that it will cost the county II
least $500 a year to MAINTAIN the
bridge, an item which has been entirely
left out of the calculations of the pro-
moters of the scheme. Foreseeing that
the bridge would be perpetual ex-
pense, the delegation from Cumberland
county. for the year of 1878, opposed the
passage of the act without clause
exempting them from liability in the
matter and as a result so much OF the
land location Of the bridge as belonged
10 Cumberland county was set of ana
annexed to Sagadahoc.
AS will be seen by the above tabu-
lated statement the travel over the
bridge is about one-fourth part the
business done at the Richmond and
Dresden ferry. 1t has been estimated
that il will cost about $4,000 to rebuild.
hut there is nothing in the act which
limits the county commissioners 10
that or any other sum. They might
build bridge at an expense of 100000
or even more. An ex-county commits
sioner whose judgement in the matter
should count Tor something, uecieii's
that the bridge cannot be built for less
than 100000.
Are the voters of the county pre-
nared to assume such an obligation!
he asked. 1t means an assessment OF
at least $1,000 annually upon the taxable
,.roperty of Richmond. The measure
can and must be defeated. Inc talk
about the court compelling the county
m rebuild the bridge is sheer rot. The
county assumed the bridge of ITS own
will and accord and can abolish IL al
it's own pleasure.

took it and it is an elephant now.
