NO PLAGUE IN OSAKA.
Over Thirty Days Since Case of the
Pest There.

OSAKA, Japan, Aug. 5.-The plague
is now regarded as having disappeared
in Osaka, no fresh cases having occur
red for about a month, but we fear this
view is a little too sanguine, as It il
we'll known that the plague bacillus lies
quiescent both in very cold and very
hot weather. Before Osaka can be con-
graduated on the complete disappear
ance of the disease, we must wait ,n1il
the cooler weather arrives.
In view Of there being no fresh cases
reported, Governor Kikuchi, w..n the
approval Of the Home Minister, reduc-
ed the number of Plague Inspection
officials to SO, and of the Commissioners
to SO. On the 31st ult. meeting Of Isl

To Rebuild the Windsor Hotel.

Messrs. II. L. Kochersperger of Chicago

i'2X74 feet. A right-of-way extends north
of the hotel from High street to Cross street
giving the place the advantage of corner

structure back, remodel it and build on
modern front, making a hotel of about IS

shape before Mr.. Kochersperger starts on

Destructive Fire on the Mountains

The fires which have been raging on the
mountains of Camden and Lincolnville
were extinguished by the rain Tuesday.
The fires started several days ago on Bald
Mountain. Some say they were carelessly
set by campers-out, and others that persons
interested in blueberry picking attempted
to burn over a stubbe growth hoping that
blueberry bushes would come up on the
burned ground. The territory burned over
extends for nearly three miles around Bald
Mountain, through the detile and along the
northerly side of Meguntcook nearly to the
Turnpike, covering an area of over 1900
acres. large quantity Of valuable stand
ing wood and timber was destroyed, as well
as large piles of cord-wood in the wood-lots
The fire did not reach the old growth spars
on 5he mountain, nor destroy any buildings,
but the loss to growing trees is heavy

Bangor, in the rigging of which the crew
were frozen to death, although SO near to

that fearful gale-the most terrible of all,
the secret of the loss Of the Portland, was
never told.
Belfast, Searsport, and Islesboro mourn
for lives lost on the Portland and Lewis.

The Electric Railroad.

As we understand the matter of a pro

Northport the situation is as follows The
corporators of the Waldo Street Railway
Co., who hold a charter for a road from
Stockton Springs to Camden, have turned
the charter over to Mr.. II l.. kocherSperger,
who has given bonds to construct the road
to Northport before September next or re
turn the charter. Sufficient stock has al
ready been subscribed to assure the build
ing of the road without bonding it for one
dollar, and Mr.. kochersperger says the
work Of grading will begin at once, 1t is
proposed to build the road bed this fall, get
out the ties and other timber during the
winter, and complete the road in the spring.
1t is expected that the road will he in full
operation by June 1st as far as the North
port Camp Ground and perhaps as far as
| Temple Heights, to connect with steamers
| for lslesboro. The road will have branches
| through Church and High streets and to
| the railway station and steamboat wharf.
On leaving the city ii is proposed to build
| the road on the right hand side of the high
| way, where there is a good grade the greater
part of the way. The power house will
! probably be located in Northport.
| The books were opened Sept 18th, and
| S32,5OO have been subscribed, with $4,000
more promised. The capital stock will be
S5O,o0o, and when Mr.. Kochersperger re-
turns here in October the company will be
