In joint convention the following petit

To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council OF the City of Hallowell:
We, the undersigned citizens and
taxpayers OF the city OF Hallowell re-
present that we have no objection to
the continuance of the business of tai
low rendering and soap making. so
long established at the North End, IN
this city. providing the same be done
under reasonable and proper regula-
tons. This business has been estab-
lished and in continual operation dur
ing the past 60 years. That there is no
section of the city where good health
so generally prevails. is fact that all
city physicians know and no doubt will
testify. Therefore the charge of dan
ger to the public health Is not we'll
founded. Referring to the ordinance,
recently passed we believe that as a
matter of justice to the proprie.ors oe
the plants in the business. the city
should not proceed arbitrarily. but
rather should grant q continuance, un-

WATERVILLE.
SILL 4 MYSTERY.
No Clue to Identity Of Dead Child Found !,
Waterville.

The inquest held, Tuesday morning,
over the body of the child found in the
river, Monday noon, brought out very
little that was not announced In the
Journal, yesterday morning. After being
in session for nearly an hour, the organ
ization came to the conclusion that it
would be better to adjourn to the call OF
Coroner onell.
The most important testimony was from
DR.. NJ. f. Goodrich. who performed the
autopsy. DIR. Goodrich testified that the
valise was not locked. as has been stated,
but was simply caught at the top by the
side fastenings.
The remains were rolled In small
dress. Next to that was d towel striped
with red at the ends. Underneath all was
small garment of unusually fine tex
ture. This, he was led to believe, was an
indication that the parents were well of
The other clothing was that of family
In ordinary circumstances. Squares of
cloth completed the remainder of the
childs attire. The cloth, OF a finer tex
ture, had come to pieces and was appar-
emily injured through the action of the
water. Stress was laid on the fact that
the dress was not put on burt wrapped
around the body.
There was nothing about the exterior
OF the body to show whether the death
had taken place before or after birth.
With the exception of the maIformation
Of the mouth the child was NOT leformed.
He could not tell how the child came TO
its death.
AS far as the interior examination went,
he learned that the child had at one time
been fed with milk. He was of the opin-
ion that the child when thrown into the
river was two or three weeks old. He
arrived at this conclusion from the fact
that the navel was wholly healed. He
was of the opinion that the body had
been in the water eight or nine days. In
his opinion the child was female. This
concluded the testimony.

Foot Ball Season Opens. Today.

The opening foot ball game of the
season will be played in this city, this
afternoon. when Colby win play with
Boston University. The simple fact
that il is TO be an opening game gives
every assurance of a large crowd in
attendance. During the past two or
three days the men have shown up in
good shape and have made great i'm
proyment. The playing for the past
two or three days has been more like
regular game than anything else.
The team work of the Colby eleven is
good and there is every prospect that
the boys will put up nearly as stiff a
game as they did at the beginning of
last season. Those who have been
watching the play are confident that
the. men will put up a very snappy
game and viii at least give the Bos-
ton University men a hard rub. There
is a great deal of interest to know
how the men who have just started in
with the team, will, show up in an ac-
tual game. In the practice work they
have showed up in wonderful shape.

bone penetrating internal organs and
causing death.
Bond had been employed for some
time as manager of these sheds and
was well acquainted with the location
OF the scuttles. That he should step
into one, even in the dark is to be
wondered at. The scuttles are fully 20
feet from the floor of the shed. Two of
the scuttles We're uncovered by Bond in
the afternoon, and it is supposed that
he went to close them, but m.sjudged
their location. i
Michael Bond was of French descent
and came to Randolph from the Prov
inces about two years ago. He has al
ways been known as a quiet, indus
trious man and made many friends in
the community.
1t is thought that he has some dis
tant relatives living in Augusta, but
nothing further is known of his rela-
tives. For some time he had been
boarding at Samuel Godings on Ken
derhook street.

THE FIRST CAKE OF ICE
Was Lowered Inio Vessel in Farmingdale by
the Late Porter WaIbridge.

The death of Porter Walbridge takes
away one of the oldest ice men on the
Kennebec river. Mr.. Walbridge is cred
tied with lowering the first cake of ice
ever put into the hold of vessel in
Farnlingdale.
He had for many years been employed
by the Knickerbocker Ice Co. and had
seen many changes in the mode of hand
ling the product of this industry.
The time he lowered the first cake of
ice, Cheeseman had just started the BUSH
mess in Farmingdale. At that time there
were only one or two houses on the river.
Cheeseman was the first to use the end
less chain. At this time the blocks of ice
were lowered with a whip" with a sin
gle pair of hooks fastened to the block.
A man would swing this off from a table
into the hold and the hooks then had to
be brought up again for another cake of
ice.
There have been four changes in the
method of lowering the ice since then.
The next change was to the so-called
gig. This ran on rod and would
carry only one cake at a time.
The Santa Anna" was then introduced.
This worked with double hooks. While
one set were carry a block down another
set would come up for the next cake.
The Knickerbocker machine was then
invented and SO near perfection it is that
the old ice men are of the opinion that
it will never be improved. This machine
lowers two cakes at a time and does the
WORK with such rapidity that 1000 tons
have been known to be loaded in a single
day. o.
Mr.. Walbridge watched all these i'm
provements and was probably the only
man on the river that was continually
employed from the first to the latest
method of work.
