STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

The railroad commissioners held a
hearing at the Estate House Wednesday,
on the petition of the Lewiston, Bruins
wick q Bath Electric Railroad asking
permission to lay their tracks across the
overhead bridge on Oak street in Bath
and operate their cars over the bridge.
The only question to decide upon was
whether the bridge had been sufficiently
strengthened by recent repairs made by
the electric railroad. The commlssio ners
decided that the repairs were sufficient to
make the bridge safe and ordered the
petition granted. The electric railroad
will pay for the repairs and one-half the
expense of maintaining the bridge and
the Maine Central Railroad will pay the
other half. Hon. Seth M. Carter OF Lew
iston, appeared for the Maine Central and
Heath and Andrews for the electric rail-
road.
H. e. Capen, one of tho best known of
the Maine hotel men, has assumed con-
troll of the Augusta house, he having
purchased the interest of Pinkham and
Arnold, who opened the house in June.
Mr.. Capen has been connected with the
Kineo house five years, having commenced
his hotel career there. He has since that
time managed the Silver Lake hotel at
Katahdin Iron Works and the Bay View
house at Camden each for eight years.
Z An attempt was made few days ago to
work the ancient spectacle game in
Brewer, but it failed. A man selling
goods from HOUSE, to house sold a lady a
lot of garden truck and after she had paid
him he suddenly remem bered that he'd
found a pair of gold bowed spectacles that
morning on his way to town and. as he
had no use for them. he'd give her q first
class trade in them. The woman had
heard of the game in the past and de-
clined to accept the mans generous offer,
saying that she had no use for spectaoles
and that if she had she preferred to visit
an oculist and have them ffbted to her
eyes. At this the man looked sad and
departed.
