Margaret, the twelve- year-old daughter
OF Maurice Downey, jr., fell into he river
| Saturday afternoon. With some other
| children she WAS fishing from the plank
| driveway below the lower Hall mill, when
she fell through hole and into the water
| ten feet below. Stephen Gross heard the
calls for help, and pulled the child from
| the water. She was very wet and very
much rightened, but uniuiured. She
| had been in the water twenty minutes
when taken out. but had held to a piece
OF timber until help came.
| The crushed rock walk on Oak street
has been completed, and the rock is now
| being laid on State street. 1t is expected
| to extend the crushed rock road this year
| to the top of TowL house hill. This
| will give a crushed rock road from the
| wbarves on Water street about half way
to the mills at Ellsworth Falls. With the
crusher conveniently located as it now is,
| two more years should complete the
| work through to the Falls. There is
more heavy teaming on State street
than any other street in town. The rock
| crusher is now doing more work a day
than ever before. A larger steam drill
is being used to blast out the rock to
satisfy the rapacious appetite OF the
crusher.
| There WAS a game of called base ball
at Wyman park last Saturday afternoon

| the Bangor athletic club nine and the
| Ellswortbs, but only one team seemed to
| be in it, and bat wasn't Ellsworth. 1t was
late when the game began, owing to late
arrival OF the visitors. when the score
go, up to something like so to A, at the
end OF the fifth inning, the agony was
ended by calling the game. Halpin's
hustlersa need to hustle into shape il
they mean to play bail this season. There
is plenty OF good material in the team,
but more practice Is needed to get it into
shape. few costly errors early in the
| game Saturday seemed to demoralize the
| whole team, and after that it was run
away for the visitors. Ellsworth's nine
| Is capa BILE of better work.
