ALL BIDS REJECTED.
Tho Insane Hospital Trustees to Further Cor :
slider the 1ramway.

The building committee Of the board
of insane hospital trustees met at the
hospital, Tuesday, for the purpose of
opening the bids of the different con-
Germs on the building of the tramway
from the wharf to the coal pockets and
also to let the contract for the roof
of the new section of the coal pocket.
The three members of the committee,
General r. 3. Shepherd of SkOwhegan,
C. S. Pearl of Bangor, and p. o. Wick
cry of Augusta, were present together
with President ROBBIE of the trustees.
There were bids from several firms
for the erection of the tramway, but all
were rejected. This was on account OF
the vast difference in the bids, each Of
which set forth a new idea in the man.
ner of construction. The trustees will
take the matter under further cOnsid-
Grafton and with the plans of some OF
the lowest bidders, will determine just
what sort of a tramway they will have.
The contract for the roof Of the new
part of the coal pocket was let to the
New Jersey Steel and Iron Co, the
same concern that put the roof on the
part of the pocket that is at present
finished. The roof will be of iron con-
struction and metropolitan with as
phalt top. This insures a perfectly
fire proof roof so that should any Of the
piles of bituminOus coal take fire 1t
could not break out through and en-
danger other buildings.

TYPES OF SODA WATER GIRLS.
Brunettes Take Chocolate or Coffee Blondes
Prefer Vanilla or Lemon.

Now the season for the sizzling soda
is with us certain types and traits of
soda water girls are found together. For
instance, brunettes take chocolate, gin
ger or coffee, just their country cous-
ms take sarsaparilla. Golden haired.
Dresden china girls take pineapple lem
on or vanilla, while Titan beauties pre-
fer raspberry, apricot, cherry or orange
phosphate.
Demi-blondes, with brown hair, fair
skins and dark eyes, are usually addict
ed to mixed fiavors. Vanilla and coffee
together is subtle and Oriental. while
pistache and lemon suggests butterflies
and apple blossoms, and apricot and lem
on taste like sweet remorse, or II wish
hadn't! and pineapple and strawberry
recalls La France roses and moonlight
tete-a-tetes.
Unimaginative people will exclaim
"Nonsense.' and drink their Moxie, root
beer or chocolate without thinking. but
imagination is half the pleasure of eat
ing and drinking.

the FAST EXPRESS DELAYED.
Horse Runs Upoa the Railroad Bridge and
Falls Between the SIespers.

The Maine Central flyer and swell
express train that is due to leave Au-
susta at 11.40 ATM, on its quick run
to Boston, was delayed nearly 20 min
utes in its course, Tuesday morning
on account of horse on the railroad
bridge. This horse is still alive to be
looked upon as wonder.
The animal is the property of Charles
McGillicuddy of Randolph, and he was
being harnessed to wagon at Bry
ants stable on Willow street at about
11.30. He took fright and ran away.
clearing himself from the wagon after
overturning another.
Down Willow street he dashed and
over to Maple street where, near the
Bangs mill. he took the railroad track
and dashed along to the east end of the
railroad bridge. Here he did not hest
tate in the least, but kept on his wild
run along the two planks that are on
the sleepers of the bridge. When about
half way across he fell between the
sleepers and lay helpless.
The railroad men hurried and tagged
the express train, while others with
ropes eXtricated the horse which proved
to be quite a task. After the horse was
out his eyes were covered and he was
led to the west end of the bridge and
to Water street. Not until this time
could the express proceed.
There was not a scratch on him from
his fall between the sleepers, and his
harness was all in place. He appeared
a little stiff, but went to eating when
led back to the stable. as though MOTH
ing had happened.
1t was a most wonderful thing that
the horse did not fall from the bridge
or injure himself so badly that he
would be useless, but from last appear
ances all the damage done was the de-
laying of the express about 20 minutes.

Probably the event of the most i'm
portance in the National Guard, this
week. is the court martial that will sit
in the armory of Co. c of Auburn. to-
day. This court will sit at 10 o'clock
and will make a full investigation of
the events of the night of the 3rd of
July, when disorderly conduct is said
to have taken place. Liquor is said
to have been carried into the armory
and freely used, resulting in dis
graceful affair.
Adjutant General Richards an
nounced to the Journal, Tuesday morn
ing, the make up of the board of in
Quiry. This board will be made up of
Lieut.. Colonel Eugene F. Smith, LIST

Co. F, End Regiment. First Lieuten-
ant Frank w. Welch of Co. A, list
regiment, will be the recording officer
of the board.
This is the first court martial in the
National Guard in a long time, and 1t
is the purpose of General Richards to
have the matter sifted to the very bot
tom and the blame wherever it lays,
brought to the head of the one to
whom it should be charged, and he or
they will be dealt with in manner
that will be a lesson to other compan-
les never to carry liquor into their
armory, as it is one of the articles that
is especially tabooed.
