WckERY HALL IMPROVED.
Several Excellent Changes Made In and About
This Poru'ar Hall.

Nickery hall has been greatly i'm
proved so that now it is one of the
cosiest and incest places in which to
hold dance or large party that can
be found in the State and there are but
very few places outside which are MIC
err. There is nothing elaborate about
the decorations but it is comfortable
and very nicely fitted up. The hall
proper has been fitted with new set
tees and new piano.
new heater has also been put in so
that the stoves can be done away
with BY this new heater one room or
the whole of the upstairs can be heat
ed at once. The greatest improve
ments have been made in the ante
rooms which are now way ahead of
anything that has ever been had in the
city. The ladies' room has been nicely
carpeted, the ceiling papcred, new fur
niture put in. The furniture is num-
Der OF easy chairs, a couch and several
SlfdlSHt packed cEalfS. The gentle
mems room has been fitted up the
same way except that settees are
placed around the walls. Nice toilet
rooms have been put in both the ante
rooms so that they have I'll the con-
veniences of an UP to date large city
hail.
A large quantity of brass hooks have
been placed on the walls OF the ante
rooms and the hail SO that the incon-
venience which has heretofore existed
in regard to hanging the wraps up is
done away with. The floor of the hall
will be waxed to perfection and will

FIRST ALARM FOR MONTHS.
Augusta Visited by Small Fire Which Wakes
the City Up.

After several months without an
alarm of fire the city was visited by a
small blaze, Thursday afternoon. when
the shingles on the south side of p.
6etchelfs barn on Spring street were
burned and some of his hay wet. The
hre was caused by spark from q
brush fire in the yard coming in con-
tact with the shingles. Mr.. Getchell
fortunately was in the barn at the
time and by hard work succeeded in
Keeping the blaze on the, outside until
the department arrived and quickly
extinguished it.
The alarm rang at 325. Hose Com
pany NO. l was on the scene very
promptly and in Just four minutes
from the time the alarm rang they had
stream playing on the flames and N
a moment had them out. Even the in
see OF the boards OF the roof were not
burned.

Communication,

EDIT ors kennebec Journal:
"A short time ago. there appeared in
these columns an article in regard to
two Kent's Hill boys. Messrs. Rich
mond and Bachelor, who were con-
nected in the laundry business
there for Mr.. rockingham of
Portland. One would under
stand by this report that Richmond
is deficient in his accounts as well as
Bachelor. Mr.. John H. Maxwell, at
torney at Livermore Falls, as well as
others who have investigated the ac-
counts, will certify to the statement
that Richmond turned over to Mr.
rockingham his share of the colec-
tons, and instead of being deficient
there is still due Richmond $40 as his
share of the commissions. Richmond
is morally free from any wrong. but
being in partnership with Bachelor Is
technically holden for this gentleman's
deficiency.
Mr.. Bachelor should be eXonerated
from any intended wrong, but found
himself in arrears before he was aware
of it. He will undoubtedly be able TO
make settlement before the Deem
Der term of court as his many friends
at Livermore Falls will aid him in his
trouble.
1t is stated that Richmond is a mem
Der of the Methodist church; while he
respects the church he is not mem
Der and does not wish to be considered
as such.

AN AN1lQUA1ED AFFAIR.
Ticket Agent Walker Has Ancient Pisto! Never
Fired.

Ticket Agent f.. II. Walker has, at
the station, a revolver which he pur-
chased in 1861, and which has never
been fired. 1t is remarkable looking
affair, and to one who has never seen
any but the modern revolver, it is very
peculiar.
The barrel has four compartments
and they are loaded by pressing a
spring and sliding the barrel forward.
Pushing the barrel back the revolver,
to be fired. has to be cooked and as the
person gets ready to fire another shot
by cooking the hammer, the firing pin
revolves instead of the chamber as on
modern revolvers. 1t is a great Curl
osity and is the only one of the kind
in this vicinity
