Night at st. Johns p. e. Church,
A wedding which occurred at St.
Johns p. e. church about 10 o'clock last
Saturday night and which was referred
to as midnight marriage" by an af-
ternoon paper yesterday, has excited
some interest owing to the fact that the
names of the contracting parties are
kept secret. James j. Carr, registrar of
vital statistics, who issued the license
about o'clock Saturday evening, re-
fuses to make known the names of the
bride and groom. He says that they
came down from New York and asked
to have the affair kept quiet because OF
family reasons. He says that the record
of the license will not be a public record
for month yet and denied that he was
paid to keep the matter secret,
He says that if the names Of the con-
tracing parties were known it might
work great harm to them; in what re-
Spect he does not say. He stated yeSter-
day afternoon that both were young
people and that it was not divorce case
marriage, as was the one which took
place in Stamford not long ago and
which caused resolutions to be passed
at minister's meeting here here short
time ago concerning the marriage OF
divorced persons. Mr.. Carr says that
the groom is a well known young New
Yorker.
The only persons present at the cere-
mony were the contracting parties, Rev.
Mr.. and Mrs. Means, the mother and
sister of the bride, friend of the groom,

The Washington County Railroad.

This new road, opened in 1898, is one
and best managed in the State-equal, in
fact, to any in the country; and the peo-
pie of Washington county are justifiably
proud of the fact that it was fnancered
and is managed by Washington county men.
A ride over the line to- day will afford
ample evidence that every man, woman
and child in Washington county feels a
strong personal interest in the enterprise,
end the road has paid its way from the
start, far exceeding the expectations of
its promoters. The tide of summer travel,
already diverted over this route, by
which many charming resorts are reached,
must continue to increase; water powers
hitherto running to waste will be utilized,
existing Industries stimulated and new
ones created, SO that a prosperous future
is assured the Washington county rail
road, with incre ased prosperity to the sec
ton it traverses.
Washington county is rich in natural
resources. Its abundant water powers,
not over half of which are now utilized,
begin on the north with the Tunk river,
the outlet of several large ponds lying in
the adjacent county of Hancock, and ex-
tend to the st. Croix, river that fur
nishes some of the largest and best pow
ers in New England. Between these two
extremes are the Narraguagus, Pleasant,

Board of Trade. He has held the office
of Adjutant General of Maine, and was for
four years collector Of customs for the
I port of Eastport, by appointment of Pres
ident Cleveland. In 1892 he ran as a
Democratic candidate for Congress in the
Fourth district. His popularity in his
native city is unbounded, and he is an i'm
portant factor in its social and business
interests.
The General Manager of the Washing
ton County Railroad, Henry F. Dowst, is
a native of Vienna, Kennebec county, and
early became associated with Maine trans
portation interests. He left one of the
most responsible railroad positions in
Maine, with the Maine Central, to take
his present position, and has a corps of ex-
perienced associates, most of them having
seen service with the Maine Central, which
has long enjoyed the reputation of being
country.
The new road was very substantially
constructed, and its rolling stock equip
ment is thoroughly modern. The pas
senger coaches are finished in natural oak
and are very attractive in appearance.
The trains are run on time, and all the
business of the road moves with the reeu-
larity of clock work, testifying alike to
good management and faithful and COM
petent employees.

exceptionally fine quality. The opening

county are among the finest in the world.
Red granite is quarried at Red Beach and
Jonesboro. black granite at Machias-
port, blue granite at Red Beach, and gray
granite at Milbridge. Marshtield and
Jonesboro. The Jonesboro and Jones'
port red granite is inexhaustible and i'm
proves as the quarries 60 deeper, and the
southern portion Of Addison is full of the
finest black granite. This industry will
be greatly stimulated and increased by
the present railroad facilities.
Washington county was the pioneer in
the canning industry, the canning of fish,
fruit and vegetables having been success
fully carried on at PASSPORT in 1871, and
the business has now attained large pro-
portions. The sardine factories at East
port and Lubec are widely known, their
products going all over the world, and
the same may be said of the BURBERRY
plains which lie in the towns of Cherry
field, Columbia, and Deblois. Town

This region is undoubtedly the largest
BURBERRY country in the world, and the
yield is something enormous. In one
week two men are reported to have pick
ed eleven bushels each in two days. There

Last, but not least, the agricultural fea-
lures of this section merit what must nee
essarily be brief mention. The surface of
the country is broken, Astounding in hills,
but without mountains or any very lofty
elevations. The soil in the valleys and
on the hardwood ridges is fertile, and
good crops of hay, oats, potatoes, ETC.,
are raised. Much of the country is we'll

wool raising might be carried on much

important item, and the island mutton of
Washington county has long been noted
for it's excellence.
Tanneres, ship and boat building, and
the fisheries, must be included in this
brief summary of Washington county S
resources and industries.
The sportsman, whether he inclines to
the use of rod or gun, will find no part of
the country affording so many facilities
for sport as Washington county. Big game

But to return to the railroad which has
brought this comparatively isolated sec

The building of a Shore Liae railroad was
first agitated by the Machias Union in
1871, and public meetings in Machias.
Cherryteld, Ellsworth and Bangor follow
ed. Later company was organized, and
survey of the prop sed route was made
IN 1872 ). The money required was not
forthcoming, and then came the Green
hack craze, and fol- years the project slum-
bered. In 1893 a charter was secured for
the Washington County railroad, and al
organization was perfected in 1894 In
1898 the legislature granted a renewal of
the charter, and il was further amended
at that time. The ci tizens of Washing.
