fine Hughes & Sons piano was fur

decorated, and suggested the feast of

manner, be sang. He has clear, strong
aud highly-cnltivated voice, under per-

and at the close received a storm Of

Mrs. Giiberte followed with two
humorous selections, which greatly
pleased the audience, and the reader good
naturedly responded to an encore.
Then came another group OF three
songs by Mr.. Gilberte, closing with
Mascheroni's "Eternemente" with violin
obligato which was admirably played by
Miss Harriet Rollins.
After another well-rendered selection

Amherst are fixed for Tuesday and We'd
nesday, Septem Der Is and 26.
The management promises attractions
that will make this famous fair second

has ever attended this Amherst fair fails
to 60 again II he can; 1t Is a genuine cattle
show and country fair, with all the at
fractions except horse-trotting. The dis
play OF farm produce Of every description
Is always fine, often sur passing In quality II
not In quantity those OF more pretentious
fairs, while the exhibitions of live stock
never fail to excite admiration.
The people are hospitable, always doing
what they can to make the village at
tractive and the stay OF visitors pleasant.
The fair winds up with bail in the
town hail, which always attracts dancers
and spectators from all directions.

NEW INDUSTRY.
FINE ELLSWORTH WATER pow
Err WILL BE UTILIZED.
BOSTON REDUCTION COMPANY WILL
ERECT LARGE PLANT ON THE
LOWER DAM.

Ellsworth is to have a new industry, in
which there are pleasing possibilities for
the future. The Boston Reduction Co.
has practically closed negotiations for a
five-year lease OF the lower dam, with an
option to buy at the end OF that time.
The negotiations have been made by
u. II. Burleigh, for the company, and
were practically closed Saturday. The
only thing that remained to complete
the negotiations was the assurance from
the city government that the plant would
be assessed but a nominal tax for the
term OF ten years. At the meeting Of
the board OF aldermen Monday evening
this assurance was given.
The company has secured the dam and
both mill sites. The water power is esti-
mated at 1900 horse.
The Boston Reduction company con-
trolls new electrical process for taking
lead and zinc from ores. The process Is
adapted especially to the reduction OF re-
fractory zinc ores. Most of the ore will
be received from out OF the State, but
there is much ore in Hancock county
which may be used. The esta blishment
OF the plant in Ellsworth may mean the
development Of many mines In the county.
The company will begin york at once
on the dam. Mr.. Burieigh could not say
Monday just how much money would be
expended on the plant. He thought it
would take five months to get it in
running order.
The plant will employ at the outset
only about twenty or twenty five hands,
but there is possibility that II sufficient
power is obtained, the company will add
manufacturing plant which will give
employment to several hundred hands.
worth offered to the plant was a fine
water power convenient to both rail and
water shipping facilities.
