Main Street Bridge Being Removed.

Ward & Douglass of Barre signed the
contract for the masonry for the Main
street bridge Wednesday afternoon and
their men and teams are now at work pre-
pairing to tear up the old bridge with the
exception of a driveway of Is feet, which
the contract says they shall maintain.
The electric railroad and the New Eng
land Telephone company are removing
their lines as fast as possible, the contract
requiring that all wires shall be removed
so as not to interfere with the granite
company's boom derricks. The railroad
company will fasten its wire to the top of
the telephone poles on the west side of the
bridge and will transfer its passengers,
and the telephone company, which must
move the pole at the southeast corner,
will probably cable its wires and run the
cable to the rear of Odd Fellows block.

New Military COMPANY.

The members of Fuller Battery have be-
gun making arrangements to reOrganize
into an infantry company and offer their
services to the government. Nearly all
the men in the Battery have shown their
willingness to join the company should ii
be formed, and if enough from the Bat
terry could not be secured, some outsiders
would probably be taken in.
Gov. Grout has been notified concern
ing the matter, but has taken no action.
Nothing more can be done until he sends
the necessary information.
The reason for re0rganizing into an in.
fantry company is that the services of the
men will not be wanted as a battery on &C.
count of the fact that their cannon have
been sent away and will probably not be
returned to this place, but sent to the
front for use by some better equipped
battery.

\ cry Truly Yours.
Saw the spanIards at Portsmouth,.

Extract from York Beach, Me-, letter
of July IL:
"We all went over to Kittery navy yard
and took the electric to Portsmouth; there
we took a steam yacht and went very close
to the St. Louis and saw them transferring
the Spaniards into the boats. We passed
within half-dozen rods of one load of
them. They wore dirty canvas suits,
some had blankets around them, some had
an arm in sling, some with heads bound
up. Others were looking at us through
the port holes.
Eve saw them landed on Seavey's island
near the barracks, the cook house, etc.,
and then they were lined up and marched
off to their quarters. One was pointed out
to us as Cervera, but we were not near
enough TO distinguish his features. We
waved to the officers and marines of the
st. Louis and they returned our salute.
"Then we went farther down the harbor
very near to the new japanese warship
Kasagi, which is to have another trial trip
to the hubble tomorrow the 12th).
"We saluted the japanese legation on
board and they seemed pleased to make
our acquaintance

DOODLE ALDERMAN WAITE.
lie surprised New Workers by Marrying
Fashionable Wilmer.

Former Alderman Charles B. Waite, he
of Doodle fame, who has been one of the
conspicuous figures of Tenderloin night
life in New York several years, was mar.
ried last Saturday TO Miss Lillias Wylie
Hurd, proprietor of a fashionable millinery
establishment on Fifth avenue. The cou-
pie left for Europe on the Etrura, and
the announcement OF the marriage was
made in the papers of Monday.
Alderman Waite gained notoriety in
1854, as the member of the Doodle board
He squealed on his associates and revealed
the doings which resulted in the granting
of franchise for a railroad in Broad way
TO Jake Sharp. Mr.. Waite's first wife
died in lSSS, and none Of his associates
expected him to marry again. He escaped
trial on the Doodle charges, and soon after
engaged in the iron business. He has
posed in politics again recently, principally
as a man with pull at police headquarters
during Chief Conlin's regime. but when
Chief McCullagh took the rens of police
government Waite became persona non
grata at headquarters.
Mr.. Waite was a conspicuous figure in
the wreck and sinking of the Vile du
Havre in 1873 owing to his desperate eff
forts TO save two children. He supported
them and swan a half mile before he
reached the side of a schooner which was
attempting TO rescue the passengers of the
Inflated vessel. The children slipped from
his grasp when he was almost in reach of
the schooner and were drowned. He was
highly commended for his bravery in the
reports of the wreck
Ex-Alderman Waite's father was Charles
c, Waite PROPRIETOR of the Rrevoort Housa
in New York, brother of 5. NJ. Waite,
who wrecked the First National bank of
Brattleboro.

LAST SATURDAYS FIRE.
IL was Quickly ENtinguished with GAR
den Hose---Stsrted from a Kerosene

Stove.
What narrowly escaped being a serious
fire occurred at the home of G. c. Tyler on
Forest street Saturday morning at about
1880 o'clock Mrs. Tyler. who was in the
kitchen, noticed that her kerosene stove
was on fire and called one Of the boys
then playing near the house TO help her
put /, out upon the back piazza In so
doing the stove was overturned and in a
moment the piazza was enveloped in
flames.
Frank Eckes was Immediately sent to
ring in an alarm from box -, and Mrs.
Tyler, with more than ordinary presence
of mind, began at once to play upon the
flames with a garden hose. She was soon
assisted by Peter Lavelle, who lives in a
nearby house and the fire was eXtin-
guished after few minutes of hard work.
The fire department responded quickly
to the alarm, but its assistance was not
needed.
The whole side Of the house from the
piazza to the roof was badly charIed and
the damage will amount to between S75
and 800.
The house is owned by p. Fleming.

TO ESTEYVILLE
Electric Railroad May be Extended aud
Groves Opened for Use Ofthe Public.

Groves Opened for Use Ofthe Public
The effort TO secure subscriptions for
stock for a branch of the street railroad TO
be run into Esteyville has been renewed
today. and this time it is being done by
the railroad company with Superintendent
Jones in charge. It will be remembered
that in April of this year two or more
meetings of Esteyvile people were held
for the purpose OF taking some action to
induce the railroad company to extend its
line through Maple and Chestnut streets
to the water house at the corner of Chest
nut and Locust streets and a SUN of mon
ey was pledged for that purpose, but after
giving the matter due consideration the
railroad company did not feel justified in
making the necessary outlay.
The situation is now changed, however,
and the change is due principally to the Of
fer of Gen, j. j. Estey to give to the road
for five years the use of the pine and chest
nut groves which are situated about 1000
feet beyond the Chestnut street water
house. These groves are on the northeast
side of the street The pine grove con-
ssts of four lots, each having a front of
four rods, and they are over 10 rods deep.
The chestnut grove consists of three lots
of the same dimensions. The two groves
are separated only by driveway and they
are level and very pleasantly located.
Several times since the present road was
built it has been demonstrated that the
common at West Brattleboro is the source
OF a greater income to the road than any
other attraction except the Valley Fair
and it is believed that park at this end of
the road would yield more than the COM
mon at West Brattleboro. If the extern
sion is built the park will be fitted up with
settees, and pavilion will probably be
built wherein could be conducted meet
ings and entertainments of various sorts.
The distance from the Pine street cor
nef to the park is about three-fouTths Of a
mile and il is expected that the road could
be extended that distance for from $4,000
to $500 Nearly third of that sum has
already been pledged by the people of
Esteyylle, who realize that the extension
would be as great a benefit to them as to
the railroad company. II sufficient
amount Of stock can be sold and the per
mission OF the selectmen can be obtained
the extension will be made this summer.

Beautiful Tribute.

The following beautiful tribute to

Maine was delivered by the Rev.
Father Woods, at a Requiem Mass
celebrated IN the Church Of the
Holy Cross, Flatbush, New York, on
Washington's birthday
mo true American has ever gone
to his grave unwept and unsung.
His bones may rest on a foreign
shore, but his memory and the glory
of his achievements live and become
the seeds which keep our country
filed with heroes and patriots who
are inspired with the spirit OF '76.
We have never been precipitated in
trouble with other nations save when
justice and right have been violated
or endangered. The brave men
whose loss we mourn to-day started q
few weeks ago on the Inflated Maine
simply to protect u countrymen il
Cuba. They lost their lives in saving
those who sought shelter beneath

lustre to the crown of Washington
