FOR A NEW BRIDGE.
A scheme to Connect State street and
Portland Bridge.

There is a scheme being agitated to
construct an overhead bridge, which will
extend from York street, at the foot OF
State street, to the Portland bridge draw
at the foot of Clark street. Plans have
already been drawn by an engineer, and
it is expected that work will begin in the
spring. The bridge will be about 1900
feet long, and will have grade of three
and one.half feet to one hundred feet. 1t
will extend in the shape of the letter S.
The movement has assumed an active
form, and the plan is under consideration
by the Boston & Maine and Maine Gem
trail railroads. Then 1t is believed that
aid will be given by the city and the
towns on the Cape. The estimated cost is
about $500, 600.
Such bridge would furnish a magnifi-
cent view, and it would be of an i'm
mense convenience to the public.
The present Clark street bridge is, as
every body in the city knows. most blind
affair.

WANT TO BE GUARDIAN.
Three Applications to the Probate
Court.

There is an interesting hearing in
progress before Judge Peabody in the
Probate court room.
There are three petitioners who wish to
act as the guardian of Miss Evelyn
Gertrude Ellis. Miss Ellis is the child of
Mr. and Mrs. Sharpe of Providence.
but was adopted by Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
some years ago and has assumed their
name. Mr.. Sharpe and Mrs. Ellis were
brother and sister.
Last June Mr.. Ellis, while insane,
killed his wife and himself SO their
guardianship of the child has terminated.
The case was brought before the Middesex
court in Massachusetts, as Mr.. and Mrs.
Ellis were living in Lowell. at the time
of the murder, but that court decided
they had no jurisdiction in the case, as
the adoption was made in Cumberland
county and the child was still at Bridg-
ton in this state.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis were staying at
Bridgton when they adopted the child.
This was in November, 1896. Trouble
arose between Mr.. and Mrs Ellis some
time last year and they separated, leaving
the child in the care of a Mrs. Warren of
Bridgton. They both went to Lowell
Mass, where they lived apart from each
other.
In June of last year. as stated above,
the marder and suicide was committed.
The child has continued to reside with
Mrs. Warren up to the present time and
Mrs. Warren is one of the petitioners for
the guardianship. The other petitioners
are the child's natural mother, Mrs.
Sharpe, and James Fl. Whitworth of
Lowell.
Mrs. Warren and Mrs. Sharpe have
made some kind of an arrangement.
whereby the child shall remain with Mrs.
Warren for a period OF two years and after
that she is to go to Mrs Sharpe, so in
reality. these two are together contesting
the case against Mr.. Whitworth.
Mr.. Ellis belonged to the Royal
Arcanum, which lodge pays death bene.
fit of $4,000, and according to the bylaws
of the order the money cannot be paid
over until the guardianship of the bene-
ficiary is determined.
The counsel for Mrs. Warren and Mrs.
Sharpe are ex-Gov. Cleaves, Stephen G.
Perry and D. Eugene Chaplin while John
W. McEvoy of Lowell has charge Of Mr..
Whitworth's interests.
Mr.. McEvoy bases thu claim of his
client on the fact that Mr.. Ellis mother
| who lives in England, and in the eyes of
the law, is the nearest living relative of
the child, expressed the hops that Mr..
Whitworth would be appointed the
guardian. He also claims that the other
petitioners are not prepared to furnish a
suitable home for the child, while Mr..
Whitworth is amply able to do SO.
The other side of the case is now in
progress,

GRIP EPIDEMIC.
Many Gases of the Disease Reported in
Portland.


The epidemic of grip which is terror
izing New York and Boston is assuming
dangerous proportions in this city. With
in this last twenty -four hours the
physicians report that they have been
called upon to attend many cases of grip.
The druggists who were seen last night
by a PRESS reporter say that they are
now doing the biggest prescription busi-
ness theyjhaye done for many months, and
that it is constantly on the increase. The
downfall of rain yesterday and the nasty
drizzle of the evening accompanied by
thick fogs created atmospheric conditions
which physician fear will create many in
oipient cases Of TIE grip and retard re-
coyery in many others. While there 10 no
need of becoming alarmed it is feared by
many physicians that the warm weather
If followed by sudden.cold weather may
cause an immense increase in the victims
of this disease. The New York board
of health has issued a statement proclaim
ing grip to be contagious and Infectious
and stating that the disease can De COM
municated both by personal contact and
BY the atmosphere.
DR.. Michael B. Feeney, chief sanitary
inspector Of the New York board OF
health, says:
The best way to treat the grip Is to
avoid having it. -
Keep good hours. Eat nourisnlng 1000
Use LIQUOR in moderation.
Above all keep all parts of the body
warm, particularly the feet.
Avoid dampness and draughts.
1t is also good thing to keep away
from persons known to have the disease
There are SO many different phases Of
the disease that no specific line OF remedy
can be suggested. Each case should be
treated separately,
