There Is r. row of some proportions

the Lynch factions. The Hill faction Is
led hy d white man, and the other by ex

The fight began months before the St.

A NEW MAP
For augusta Is Being the Subject o
Much Demand.
Probability that Steps WIN b Taken 10 Have
One Made.

Augusta needs new map. and needs
one badly. 1t is now over 20 years since
the last was made, and the changes
that have come to the artificial condi-
ton Of the city limits have been varied
and many-in fact, In every way has
Augusta changed in the way ofgrowth,
SO that, beyond the main outline of the
older streets and buildings, the city t.
look at it's old picture, would hardly
know itself
Not to any one section has the build
ing been confined, but to all parts Ct
it. Streets have branched out here
and there and everywhere, with dwell
ing houses new. and lots that have
been staked out for sale. Along the
business streets, there have been too
many additions to mention. Among
the prominent buildings erected are
three of the Edwards Mills. including
the Office; the plant to the Cushnoc
Fibre Co., since changed in name to the
Cushnoc Paper Co.; Bangs Bros, sash
and blind mandatory; the Gannett &
Morse Concerns publishing houses; the
Williams District school and the Cony
High school buildings: and large add
tions to the insane hospital The Au-
gusta Lumber Co.'S plant has also bee n
built since the map was made, and Of
course. there is the new city building.
To return to the west side, there are.
foremost of all, the additions to the
Capitol and the Court house; the Lith
gov library building. and the Nash
school, soon to be completed: with part
of the Odd Fellows block on State
street. On Water street there are the
Hill, White & Macomber Vickery and
Riverside blocks on Water street, and
also the Masonic Temple. st. Angus
tines church on Cushnoc Heights il
comparatively new also the fine Gram
bridges have been built since the last
map was made.
Dwellings have been built on every
hand, and of course there have been
streets without number reaching OUT
on all sides. Stapleton. which wa
practically unsettled. would of itself
now make very good sized town.
Another Introduction of importance,
is that of the street hydrants which
We're put in, in 1887 This superior sys
tenn for the fire department has on
many occasions saved inestimable
losses. and with the high pressure sup
piled, it is one of the best systems in
Maine, if not the best A map with the
location of hydrants would of course
be a great convenience, if not neces
sity.
Rockland has Just completed new
map and Waterville is just starting
in on the work of having a new one.
There is considerable favor expressed
by citizens for new may of the city,
and, it is understood, steps will be
taken in the near future to have one
made. 1t would be widely appreciated
by people of every calling.

Some Of the Horses Which Can Make TheiI

Augusta horsemen are eager for

say, are more eager still for a chance

worthy steeds are taken out, and are
being worked for all they are worth.
They fly around the track. and for

The Dimond Case.

The only witness examined in the
Dimond divorce case this morning
was Emma Berndt, Mrs. Dimond's
nurse girl, whose testimony was
offered by the prosecution. Miss
Berndt occupied the witness stand
all morning, and was subjected to a
rigid cross-examination by tho de-
PENDANTS counsel. The Court adj
iourned at IL o'clock in order to
give Judge Carter an opportunity of
visiting the house at Kakaako in
which Mrs. Dimond is claimed to
have been surprised with Wilson.
The defendant does not deny that
she was there with Wilson, but claims
that their meeting was open, and
the house is so arranged that anyone
could see into the room. To sub
stantiate this claim the defendants
attorneys asked the Court to make
personal visit to the premises and
inspect the surroundings for him
self. Judge Carter was accordingly
driven down there this morning.
At noon the Court took a recess.
