of letters of more or less threaRn'"s

Cornish on the witness stand made Inc

During the past week Mr.. OsOorue

Winslow. Me-. Feb. 19.-(SpeciaD.-The
same hopeful conditions exist in this city
as in Waterville. No new cases have been
reported for several days, and with the
care which has been taken to prevent the
disease spreading further. the board OF
health has every reason to suppose that
the darkest days are over and that moth
ing but light is ahead.
The only development is the notices
which have been posted by the Augusta
Board of Health. The notices are similar
TO those posted in Watcrville. Health
officer NJ. w. Bessey stated. Sunday
night. that he regarded the notices as
wholly unnecessary. lie further stated
that with the precautions which are be-
ing taken it is not possible for any one
to carry the disease away out of the town
from the fact that all who are in danger
Of spreading the disease are quarantined.
He further stated that he did not be-
lieve that the Augusta Board of Health
has any legal right to keep a person from
Winslow under quarantine even il he
does not have health certificate.

THE ICE SITUATION.
In Three Days All the Ice on tho River vii
Be Housed.

If this warm weather had come Il little
earlier it would have greatly incon.
venienced the icemen but now they dc
not mind it, for they only have about
three days more work to do before every
house on the river will be filled The onI,
houses not now filled are the Cedar
Grove. knickerbocker at Iceboro and Lin.
coin houses. They would have all been
filled but for the setback caused by the
storm.
The houses not filled would have been
filled but for the bad freeze at first. TIL
fields in front of these houses were bro.
ken up by the passing down river of a
coal barge from the government wharf
at Randolph. Several tugs were at work
there for a number of days breaking IN
the ice so the icemen could not commence
work until long after the other houses
had started.
There has been considerable talk by
