ELECTRIC ROAD HEARING.

Next week the Freeport sslectmen will
give hearing on tbs petition Of the
Lewiston, Bath and Brunswick electric
road for an extension OF Its charter allow
ing 1t to traverse the town Of Freeport to
the Yarmouth line.
The permit will unqusstionably be
granted, the only controversy coming ON
the selection of the route. The road pro-
poses to go throughout Freeport village,
promising to run a spur track to South
Freeport.
The Inhabitants of tie latter village in
sist that the line should 60 their way and
seriously OBJECT to any other route.
1t is stated that on January LIST, the
Maine Central will reduce rates on Its
Eastern division, making the fare from
Portland to Freeport forty cents instead
of 20 cents AS at present. This would
meet the electric roads whose tariff for
the nineteen miles would probably be
placed at about that figure.

How Transfer IL TO he Made.

President Lucius futile of the Bostt n

roadr, said yesterday In regard 10 the
transfer Of the Portland 81 Rochester
railroad to the Boston s. Maine;
1.-THE transfer win take plac, on Jam
known there will be no changes In rum
ming time. help or stations. The men
who who are at present employed on tho
road, and who have been OF service to
the p. s. Il. will be of service to US. Mr..
Davis. the superintendent Of the road,
will be retained in the same capacity.
There will probably be an assistant put
in under him for the road between this
city and Worcester. The present board
management have secured control Of the
different details of the road, which will
probably be o short time after the trans
fer.
"There Is no truth In the statement
that the line will be transferred at West
brook and come In over the Mountain
division Of the Maine Central. The road
bed into this city will be used, and, as
yet there has been no talk whatever Of
changing over. The station at the foot
Of Prebie street will be used and no
change will be made In the running
schedule. The transfer will simply be
an absorption without an. change.
When 1t 10 found that the road will be
benefited by any change that change will
DO made, and probably from time TO time
slight alter atoms will occur"

A Card of Thanks.

BRoNwooD, June II, 1S99.-EDITob
News: Will you please give an old
subscriber space IN your esteemed col
umns to return my most sincere and
heartfelt thanks for kind attentions
received at the hands of friends during
nv late illness. Thanks to the gentle~
men friends for their constant calls
and earnest inquiries after my condi-
. ton and placing themselves at my
command to do me any service |
might desire, which commands were
implicitly obeyed. Thanks to lady
friends who were so thoughtful of my
weak and enfeebled appetite by send>
inc walters of food complete in all
their details with everything that
could tempt the appetite OF the most
confirmed epicure, carefully avoiding
everything that could possibly be re-
nnlsiye to a weak stomach; and then
the delicious ice creams and iced teas
that we're so cooling to my parched
tongue and refreshing to my PROSTATE
condition. Thanks to the hands that
smootbed the pillar on which to rest
nv aching head and furrowed brow.
NV first impulse, in order to show my
annreciation of these favors. was to eat
them up, but | soon found that the eft
forts of the greatest gormandlZer
wonld be futile in the attempt, hence
tbic card j. G. AvERA.

NEWMAN RESERVES DECISION.
FEDERAL JUDGE HEARS ARGU-
MENT IN WATERWORKS CASE.
An Injunction Sought by the Ameri-
can Pipe Manufacturing Co.
Against the City Of
Dawson.

Mayor Cheatham and Attorneys
Griggs, LaiEg and Wilkinson returned
from Atlanta Sunday where they went
as the representatives of the city council
at the hearing in the United States
court of the injunction proceedings
growing out of the litigation between the
city an0 the Dawson Waterworks CO.
The American Pipe Manufacturing
Co. of Philadelphia seeks, through the
federal court, to restrain the council, or
any official or citizen of the city, from
in any manner interfering with or pre-
venting the carrying out of the contract
between the city and the waterwoIks
company, and argument was heard in
Atlanta Friday and Saturday before
Judge Newman of the United States
court for the northern district of Geor-
gla.
Judge Newman declined to allow the
mass of documentary evidence which
had been gathered by both sides as
to the present condition and efficiency
of the waterworks system to be
read, and restricted the attor-
neys in their arguments to three
points, viz:
1st Has the court jurisdiction of the
case?
End. Was the contract valid one un-
der the laws Of &c ,rgia?
3rd Did the council or Dawson have
the right to confer an exclusive franchise
on the Dawson Water works Company?
The decision of the court was not rem
dered at the conclusion of argument, but
it is expected daily, Both sides feel
confident thai it will be in tfeir favor.
/, Dawson was represented by j. NJ.
Griggs, j. A. Lang and IL. A. Wikin,
son of the local bar and Query & Hall
of Macon, and the American Pipe Manu-
featuring Co. by Hall & Wimberly o!
Macon. Every point was stubb 'rnly
contested by both sides, and the argu-
meuts of the attorneys consumed two
days
Judge J. G. Parks of Dawson, who is
associated with Messrs. Hall Il Wimber-
lyIn the case, was prevented from being
present at the hearing by sickness IN
his family.

"We find upon Investigation that
there are certain parties being support

Judgment entitled TO aid, and we recon-
mend that the county commissioners
deny aid to all who refuse to go to the
county farm"
AS the parties who the grand jury be-

the county were not named in the pre-
sentiments, the commissioners were IN
the dark as to how to proceed to carry
out the recommendation.

grand Jury before them, and as result
of the information thus obtained with

parties: Perry Kitchens and daughter,
Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Law. These par

county. 1t is probable that help Will be
withdrawn from others who are now

a life full OF good deeds, life devoted
to the happiness of others and consecrat-
ed to the work of the Master, was ended.
For nine long months she fingered
on bed of sickness, knowing
all the while that her days We're
numbered but she never complained,
never murmered, never expressed word
of regret that her young life was so soon
10 pass away, regretting only that she
could not do more good. 1t is impossi-
BILE to estimate the value of such a Christ
like life as hers. No one knew her but
to love her, and no one could come with
