1t is probable that work will not be
commenced on the Weeks Mills branch
of the Wiscasset & Quebec Railroad,
this fall. President Thayer in speakin.,
of the matter a day or two ago, said that
he thought nothing would be done about
the railroad, this fall, farther than what
is already being done. The surveyors
are already at work on the road, and
have been working for some time, but
when their work is completed it is prob
able chat nothing more will be done this
fall. When asked what bearing the
scheme to run the Franklin County road
to Gardiner would have, he said that he
did not believe for an instant that the
road would ever be built to that place
for the reason that with the exception oi
having an outlet to the sea during the
summer months only. there is no induce
ment to run road there. In regard to
the present road losing it's charter he sai j
he thought there would be no question
about the charter being renewed for the
reason that the promoters have the sur
vey all made and every thing In readi-
ness to begin work in the spring.

fered peculiar accident. While at work
at the Lockwood mills, assisting the
roofers, he cut his hand badly. He at
once had the hand dressed and as final
move had cloth put around the hand
which was saturated with alcohol. The
hand seemed in fair way to be as well
as the other in short time. but when ne
returned to work, i'm few minutes, ne
stepped down to attend the fire. AS he
opened the stove door, the flames burst
out and the alcoho-saturated cloth
caught fire, the hand being badly burned.
