tience, corner of Bramhall and Brackett
streets.
This vehicle, called an "eleotro mobile

fran es or sides are made of special stock
and somewhat heavier than the stock

the 32-inch extra heavy tandem wheels,
with 4-inch extra heavy tires.
The mechanism BY which the motor
wagon is driven are two haif-horse power
motors, one each geared to the rear
wheels by a l0-inch gear. Each wheel
being run Independent of the other, the
ratio being toto l.
The storage battery weighs when fully
charged about $50 pounds and can run
the IN achine for two hours at ten.mile
speed. It will take about two hours to
recharge the batteries aud the cost Is
about one half u cent mile.

PEAlES ISLAND.
Mr.. Bass Narrow Escape From Drown
ing Thursday Noon.

Mr.. Bass. well known member OF the
Gem theatre company, had the closest
kind of call from drowning at Peaks
islsnd on Thursday noon. He Is jus
learning 10 swim and wading out into
quite deep water started TO swim to the
shore. Suddenly he lost control and thu
tide carried him into water beyond his
depth and not being able 70 make head
way he dropped under the surface and
coming up again cried for help. On the
beach at the time there was no one save
women and children but Mr.. Bass's cries
were heard by MIR. Dixon, who was CON-
ing down the back stairs OF the Gem
theatre, and by gentleman on the pier
of the Casco Bay Steamboat company.
Both Of these gentlemen plunged into
the water and swan to Mr.. Basis help.
The man from the pier reached the
drowning man first and lost no time in
rescuing him from his perilous position
and conducting him to the shore.

MAY NOT GET SECOND PRIZE.

1t seems that the engine which repre-
sented the Portland fire department In
the contest at Bangor on Thursday and
which put q stream Of water 244 feet and
some inches, standing second In the list,
may not get the second prizs after all.
Engine will probably be ruled out of
the contest for having too much steam at
the time the trial was made. Her steam
gauge registered i've pounds mora than
the rules of the contest allowed and a
protest was entered against ths Portland
engine being awarded seoond money. If
this protest Is allowed. as 1t probably
will be, Baths engine will be awarded
the second prizs.
During the play Of the Bath engine she
broke down and was allowed to repair on
the stand and continue her trial. Al
this the Fairfield oompany's captain pro-
tested and, although nothing was said at
the time whether the protest would BIS
allowed, the chances are that 1t will not
bs and, rs the Fairfisld engine beat
Baths best play by good margin she
will not urge the protest.
