Live y Runaway.

Gardiner and Randolph were quite
little stirred up, Friday afternoon. by
series of runaways that followed one
another with the rapidity of a gatling
gun. Clarence Ford of Whitefield, left
his horse which was a spirited animal
standing in front of the Randolph har-
ness shop. The kennebec Central ar
rived at the station about that time
frightening the horse which started to
run at a mad pace. In turning the
corner to come onto the bridge the
pung tipped over, spilling out its con-
tents. The horse continued across the
bridge and when near the Gardiner end
collided with a team driven by L. d.
Tibbetts, also of Whitefield, smashing
that sleigh badly and injuring Mr. lib
belts quite seriously.
Mr. Tibbetts' horse soon emerged
from the chaos of affairs and came into
GarGiner.nying. 1t turned onto Water
Steet while at a terrific pace and sew
eral women and children had q mar
row escape from serious injuries. The
eqine Went down Water street but
came to an abrupt standstill as Alex
Durgin jumped and caught hold of it's
neck.
Horse No. l was caught before it left
the bridge. Several other horses Were
much frightened but nothing further
of a serious nature occurred.

wArEaMLLe's CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
Work to Shortly Be STATED on tie W;t.ri.Ie
& Wiscasset Railroad.

The present prospects are that work on
the Waderville & Wiscasset Railroad will
in A very short time be commenced C.
IL Cooke the chief engineer of the Ken
neoec Construction Co. which has the
contract of building the road has arrived
to look over the ground and make ar
engagements for the work which is to be
done.
I, has been something of a disa2pont-
ment TO the men Interested in the road
that the weather conditions have not
been more favorable. Representatives Of
the company have been expected for
some time, but they de.ayed coming on
account Of the weather. The men were
expected. she week Of the first real snow
Storm When the snow came and the
weather continued cold. the members ~
the company did not arrive. 1t was feared
ihai the only thing tfsut could be done
would be to build the piers in the river
for the bridge.
IL has learned since Mr.. Cooke has been
here that the conditions are very favor
able. Instead of the ground being froze:I
as was expected. ii is found that there is
very little frost in the ground probably
not more than two or three inches. On
account Of these conditions, the work OF
building the road will probably be COM
incFced in a short time.
Il is now settled thing that the road
will run ON the south side of the Messi-
l0nskee. TIE Waterville terminus will
probably be near Crummept's Mills. The
river win be crossed near the mouth of
the Messalonskee. II is the plan to MAKE
ba. ha
Central will be crossed by means of the
bridge over the river.
From the mouth of the Massachusetts
the road will run to North and East Vas
salooro, through South China to Weeks
Mills, where connections will be made
with the Wiscasset & Quebec.
The business portion of Waterville will
be connec1d with the railroad by spur
track extending to the Lockwood yard.
The freight station will probably be To-
Gated in the Plains section of the city on
the spur track. while the passenger sta
ton will be located near Crummetts
Mills.
There is but slight question that when
this part of the road is completed the
Franklin County Railroad will be extend
ed so as TO connect with the Watervilta
x Wiscasset. and then by means of the
Wiscasset & Quebec the Franklin County
system of narrow gauge railroads will
have AN outlet TO the sea at Wiscassel
harbor.
1t is understood that the kennebec Con-
struction Co, which is to have charge OF
building the railroad, will sublet parts OF
the work.
The land damages have already been
settled and location of the road filed
