out their part by keeping us busy for

honest advertising pays and that it
pays the people Of this County TO

will do this you will get more for

apologize for lack Of

it did not have any ef-

HARRINGTON ENERGIES.

Pennington, Feb. 24.-The snow storm
has at last abated and business is being
resumed throughout this section OF the
state. A snow bound Rangely train
moved two miles above Madrid today.
The relief locomotives from Phillips last
night were unable to reach the train.
The track between Madrid and Reding-
ton, distance of twelve miles, is being
shovelled out by large crews of men and
the train will reach Redington tonight
and it will then return to Phillips to get
provisions, together with fodder for the
large number of horses and cattle in the
lumber camps at Redington. Two loco
motives were sent over the Franklin and
Megantic road to Salem, where the King
field train has been snow bound since
Tuesday. II is thought Rangely traffic
will not be resumed until Saturday.

STRIKE WILL 90 ON.

Biddeford, February 24.-The striking
loom craftsmen in the Biddeford cloth
mills held mass meeting in the Ma
tional hall this afternoon to discuss yes
terday's conference between Agent Nc
Arthur and the committee of operatives.
Mclean Beaupre told the operatives how
the committee had been received by the
mill officials and asked them if they
wished to return to work under such con-
dition. The 1900 operatives shouted mo"
in way which demonstrated that they
are determined in their demands.
Fl. S. Mills of New Bedford, member
of the National Union Textile Workers of
America, made an address in which he
said that he had issued a proclamatio to
the textile workers of this country asking
for donations to be use in conducting the
strike in the New England mills
The situation is unchanged tonight,
the operatives expressing their determin-
alton to never enter the mills again
unless their wages are restored. A COM
mittee of six Biddeford labor men will
visit New England mill cities to solicit
cash and provisions for the idle operatives
in this city. 1t is estimated that nearly
100 French Canadians have left for Cana
da since the strike was inaugurated, and
they are leaving by every eastbound train.

GIRLS BODY FOUND.

Calais, Feb. 24.-The body of yonng
girl, which had evidently been in the
water for long time, was found floating
in the water near Eastport today. The
body was identified as that of Carrie
Bowden, who mysteriously disappeared
from her home in this city during the
early part of the present winter.
The girl left her home early one eve
ming and was afterwards met on the
bridge leading into St. Stephens. When
she did not return it was thouht she
had either fallen into the river or jumped
in. as all trace of her was lost after she
was seen on the bridge. She had been
i'll previous to her disappearance.
The girl was Is years old. When she
disappeared she left letter for her moth
er, informing her that she was going to
drown herself. Her hair was entirely
gone and the only wearing apparel were
her shoes, stockings and remains of her
waist and skirt. After the body was
identified by her brother, 1t was removed:
to the city and the coroner has decided to
hold an inquest tomorrow.

Ihs officers of the British battleship
Hood today cabled from the island OF
Crete expressing deep sympathy over the
disaster to the Maine.
Late tonight the navy department re-
ceived two brief dispatches from Capt
Sigsbee at Havana One relates to some
routine matter of expenditures in con-
neotion with the work on the Maine and
the other is:
"Divers report more bodies in wreck.
Some in hammocks involved in debris.
Probably not recognizable.
TLis dispatch indicates that the divers
have finally secured at least a partial en-
francs to the quarters in the forward
part of the vessel where the crew were
asleep when the explosion occurred and
under which were the magazines.
The fact that the divers were unable to
extricate the bodies shows the fearful
obstacles against which they are labor
ing and bears out the belief that the work
of submarine investigation will neces-
sarily proceed slowly.

THE NEW GATLING GUN.

Cleveland, o., February 24--Dr. r. J.
Gatling, the inventor of the famous gun
which bears his name, has just arrived
in Cleveland to conduct the finishing
touches on the big gun being con.
structed for the government here. In
an interview, DR.. Gatling said "The big
gun may be ready to send east in q
week, and if the lathes are not TOO busy
at Washington, it may be rified In about
fortnight. Of course. what the gun
will do depends upon the firing tests to
be made when it is finished, but SO fa1
everything is favorable. The tests OF
tensile strength of the splendid steel used
for the gun is very high, being i06, 00(
pounds to the square inch. The steel OF
the built-up gun runs up about 80, 00(
pounds.
Gen. Miles and other members of the
bureau Of ordnance will be in Cleveland
in few days to see the final work on the
new type of big coast defence guns.

WITNESSES OF EXPLOSION.
Naval Court of Inquiry Examined Some
Outsiders Yesterday.


Havana, February 24-The court Of
inquiry held it's usual sessions today.
C..pt. Sampson reported that Chaplain
Chadwick was examined as to his personal
experiences at the time OF the disaster to,
the Maine, and that the testimony was
taken of the captain of a British bark in
the harbor and the superintendent of the
West Indian oil works, across the bay
at Re2la, both Of whom witnessed the
explosion.
Mr.. Rolfe, the British engineer of the
floating dock in tie harbor, wrote let
ter to the court, but, it is said, did not
add any thing material to what was
known.
At the afternoon session the divers
were examined more fully than before.
Their testimony is taken from day to
day. The court expects now to finish here
today and to sail on the Mangroye for
Key West, where the other officers and
men will be examined.
The wrecAing tug Right Arm did not
60 north as was expected yesterday. She
is now moored beside the poop deck of
the wreck and will salve the smaller por-
tions as far as possible in advance Of the
arrival of other tugs with better facilities
for heavy work.
The hosting apparatus must be capa-
BILE of raising scores of tons to be effective
in the work to be accomplished.
Chaplain Chadwick reports that all the
wounded here are doing well except Fred
erick G. Holzer of New York, who may
die at any time. Additional newspaper
men arrive with every steamer. The
papers of all the large cities in the Unit
ed States are all represented and the
Y,ri ciDGI hotels Sra we'll Tiled.
Neither the officers of the court of in.
ouiry nor the witnesses will give the
Slightest indication of the testimony or
the conclusions deducible from it and
all say that the men employed on the
wreck have been warned to observe an
| equally strict reticence. This course is
regarded as eminently wise by the Anne
