A MERCHANTS EXCURSION.
Some Of Augustus Merchants Wish 10 Follow
Gardeners Example.

| The merchants of Gardiner with their
usual originality are to have an ex-
cursion very soon and on that day
every place of business in that city is
| to be closed for the day, while the
| traders are enjoying themselves by the
sea waves eating fish, CLANS and lob
sters.
One of Augustus merchants, Thurs
day, suggested to the Journal that ne
would agree to an excursion of this
sort from Augusta in case someone
else would start it. The Journal sug-
gested that that seemed to be the way
of the greater number of things in
Augusta that the men were willing if
someone else will go ahead and this
seemed to be the difference in the mer-
chants OF the sporty city Of Gardi-
ner and the dignified merchants Of Au-
merchant asked the Journal to test
some of the other dealers on the street
and obtain their ideas as to such an
excursion.
The Journal asked several what their
idea of the matter was and received
answers of all sorts. There We're many
who thought the idea a good one and
said they would be extremely glad to
close up and go. There We're an equal
No. 10 or hot hAx
cared nothing about it they would do
as the others did in such a case and
had no objections. No one really OBJ
jected to the idea.
An excursion of similar nature
was held, several years ago, by the
merchants, at which those who attend
ed are said to have had good time.
There are several of the merchants
fairly enthusiastic, but no one seems
to wish to go ahead with the matter
and in that case. of course. there Ia
likely to be nothing done about it. In
Gardiner the men have voted to have
no women with them, SO perhaps some
Of the gentler sex in Augusta might
object to closing up for the benefit of
the men. in which of course they
would be fully justified unless they
went on an excursion of their own.
If the merchants wish to go and en-
joy the good fellowship of the occasion
and have a day of rest. we'll knowing
that no one is left behind to sell the
goods that he would have sold, The
Journal will be glad to assist in print
ing the notice of any meeting that they
NAV wish to hold or announcing any
thing that any one Interested may
wish.

that 1t was beyond saving. The
assignees appointed at the time Of the
assignment were H. NJ. Heath, C. S.
Hichborn and M. v. b. Chase. They
have endeavored to lease the building
to shoe concerns, and they have also
endeavored to sell the plant, but every
effort failed and they decided to realize
as much as possible hv the auction
sale.
The conversation of the people at the
auction as they looked about and real
lied what a fine structure the building
is. and as they looked at the ma
chinery, all sounded alike, for all were
exclaiming what a shame 1t was to
realize so small a sum on the building.
There was some talk among the shoe
men present about the building, which
they said was the finest in New Eng
land without an exception. They said
they believed it would have been better
to have built less expensive building
and used the rest Of the capital for the
conduct Of the business.

A DEMURRER FILED.
The Equity Case Of kennebec Water District
VS.. City Of WateryiIIe ct ais.

The City-of Waterville ct ais. the de-
PENDANTS lii the case in equity OF tha
Kennebec Water District vs. the City OF
Waterville ct ais, filed demurrer with
Clerk of Courts W. 5. Choate. Thursday.
in which they claim that the plaintiffs
have not stated case which entities
them to the relief which they ask. This
is considered important as 1t is likely to
be the forerunner Of a hard fight. The
list OF attorneys on the side Of the defcn
dants is very powerful, there being
Heath & Andrews, Symonds, Cook &;
William I. Haincs and others.
This is a case where the Kennebec Wa
ter District, which is empowered by the
Legislature to take the property of the
panies in Waterville Fairfield and Wins
low and conduct business of furn:siiins :,
water for the said city and towns. ASKS
for the appointment of referees for the
determination OF the damages they shall
pay the said companies for their plants.
1t was understood al one time that after
the bill empowering the water district
had passed the Legislature there wouiu
be no fight made by the other companies,
but the demurrer and the legal array
seem to point 10 something different.
This case may be taken up and assigned
for hearing at any time.

say, shipping off all but one stem and
allowing the plant to bush out at con-

PROBONO>PUBLICO.
Announcement Extraordinary From Fr;.,
man Of Friedmans New Racket

The public is probably aware that
nearly all goods are advancing, every
thing that we have to buy now, each
time we make purchase we have to
pay more for the same articles.
Friedman don't believe in that kind
OF humbugs, there is no necessity in the
advance of prices of manufactured
goods, for the raw material has not adj
vanced in proportion. The advance in
the prices of goods by the wholesalers is
a fake dodge on the retailers to unload
their old stock at an advanced price. BY
the time the retailers are well. stocked,
by spring, goods will drop about 20 per
cent ormore, so those who carry up a full
stock now, will be compelled to pay an ex-
tortian OF 20 per cent now and the one
who will open new business in the
spring will save from 20 to 40 per cent.
Friedman's New Racket are on to them
and will therefore stop buying and go TO
selling.
We are making full arrange
ments to go East in the spring
for an entire new stock. Our
store is full Of goods, bought at extreme
ly low prices, except few muslins and
calico, which we lately purchased, we
will make a reduction on all lines ex-
cept few staples of from 20 and 30 per
cent, on capes which we have a new
stock Of 80 per cent, on the latest styles
of ladies new jackets, 40 per cent from
the actual sale mark, we will sell all
ladies fine shoes for less than y of what
it cost to manufacture them, we will sell
overcoats and ulsters for less than they
can be manufactured, we will make a
reduction on all mems clothing Of 80
per cent, on children's clothing 25 per
cent, our reductions will astonish you on
all lines OF goods.
For we are going to unload, we must

and II they are not sold fast enough, we
will use force to compel people to take
