AT MALLIsON FALLS

The work in progress at Madison
Falls by the new Madison Power compa-
ny Is nearing completionsand it is one Of
the finest examples Of hydraulic engineer
ing to be seen in Maine. Madison Falls
are on the Presumpscot about six miles
above Westbrook and the purpose Of the
new company is to furnish power for
use in that city. The power win be used
by the Dana Warp mills, the Haskell silk
mills and the Westbrook, Windham and
Naples electric railway. With the great
horse power which the new works make
available, 1t will be possible to run both
these mills and the railroad and then
have an abundance Of reserve power for
use for other purposes In order to con-
struct the canal for their plant the COM
pany had first to build big Golfer dam.
This morning at TO- 30 the work of re-
moving the dam and letting the water
into the canal will be begun and from
that time until noon there VIII be an
Interesting scene on the banks OF the
Presumpscot.

give true and complete answers to the
questions OF enumerators. The penalty
for such refusal Is fine mot exceeding
SO, goo, to which may be added imprison-
ment for a period not exceeding one
year"
In the whole Portland district there
were but four cases Of refusal reported TO
the chief special agent, and in everyone
OF those cases when the party was made
to fully understand the nature Of the
inquiry, and the fact that all answers
are held In strict confidence, and NJ
publication made IN the census reports
disclosing the names or operations Of
individual establishments, the answers
were forthcoming. In no instance was
1t necessary to even allude to the penalty
prescribed.
10 insure thoroughness in the enumer-
alton Of manufacturing industries, the
census department makes practically a
double canvass, In every district in the
United States. For instance, in
the Portland district after the regular
canvass was completed the chief special
agent received from Washington a box
Of cards. On every card was written the
name OF some individual OF firm doing
business IN the district whose operations
had not been reported. Ths card list
was made up in the census Office, from
local directories, records Of the last cen
sus, and from information furnished By
clipping bureaus.
These cards, for the most part. repre-
sented parties who had moved out OF the
district, or whose establishments either
do not come within the scope Of the cen
sus canvass or had already been reported
under some other name. Many Of the
cards bore the names Of journeymen who,
Of course, should Dot be canvassed. The
re. canvass cards revealed number of
industries that had been overlooked; and
these were visited and schedules secured.
Every card had to be returned to the CEN
sus Office, properly indorsed with an ex-
planation and signed by the chief special
agent.
A chief source OF qualification to the
special agents who canYassed the Port
land district was the message of commen-
dation from Mr.. Burlington, the depart
ment representative who did not have to
devote a single day to revisiting or di-
recting their work

ON THE ALERT.
Saturday Night a Busy One for the
Police.

It seemed like old times when Deputy
Marshal Firth armed with a warrant
which was made BY the County Attorney
on a complaintsrode up ina pasrol wagon
In front OF Bernard Devine's place on
Commercial street Saturday night and
proceeded to look for a secret hiding
place for liquor. The saloon was CLOSED
and had been closed all the evening.
There were no men about ths,place but IN
the barber shop OF Edward B. Carbee
next door there were some men getting
shaved and others waiting their turns.
The officers entered this barber shop and
tearing out a place IN the back wall
which communicated with DeYine's sa-
loon found a NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. there
were some jugs and barrels. TheseTwere
rolled out for investigation and found to
be empty.
The police were after the saloon keepers
red hot, Saturday night. They landed at
the Prebleshouse, arrested the bar keeper,
got some barrels Of bser and some LIQUOR
and effectually closed the place up. There
was another hotel bar open Saturday
night and that was at SWett's hotel. All
Of 1.-THE others were closed tighter than a
drum. At Swett's the police'got some IL
quOr. Another place they visited was at
Skinny" Kilday's. There they rushed
into the saloon and saw several men
gathered about the bar. Usually In such
cases there is a scramble made by the bar
keeper to get away and escape arrest
Kilday's bar keeper did not move but
smilingly continued to pour out what ap-
peared to be beer. Its no use this
time, he said to the officers. "We've
nothing but Uno and hop beer here 70.
night"
This on investigation was found to be
correct and no arrests were made.
Pocket peddling has commenced In
Portland after the manner Of old times.
There are many places where liquor can
b. bought but they ara not in the better
localities. The saloons. with steel ceilings,
handsome mirrors and elaborate systems
Of beer cooling apparatus are not doing
business. The sprinkler resorts are
still at it and instead Of handsome de-
canters and pretty glasses rum is now
served out Of small pitchers or from un-
labelled bottles The price has gone up on
these goods and the quality has not i'm
proved.

GEN OF THE BAY.
Burned to the Ground Saturday
Noon.

Saturday noon the Gem Of the Bay, the
summer hotel at Princes Point. three
miles from Yarmouth, was entirely des-
troyed by fire. The flames gweut 50 ran-
idly through the building that within an
hour all that remained OF It was pile OF
brick and heaps OF hot ashes. The Gem
Of the Bay was built in June, 1899. and
was a conspicuous object for many miles
around, standing in prominent position
on the shore OF the bay. The hotel was
the property Of Mr.. Cornelius Harris. who
has bsen for many years one Of the chief
stewards on the steamers Of the Boston
line. Mr.. Harris didsnot himself conduct
the house but had as manager Mr.. Wal
ter Bond, After the close Of the summer
season Mr.. Bond continued to occupy the
building, the household consisting beside
himself Of Mrs. Spencer, the cook, sna a
boy named Forest Storer, who did the
work around the place. On Saturday.
Mr.. Bond and Mrs Spencer were away for
the day. Late in the forenoon Young
StOrer went to Yarmouth village to get
some kerosene oil. When be left. the
hotel was all right, so far as could be
seen, and the only fire on the premises
was that in the furnace. Having com
pleted his business at the village Storer
at little after y o'closk had reached a
place from which he could see the hotel.
He found that it was wrapped in flames
and smoke and so filed with the IRE that
it was impossible to tell In what part
Of the structure the blaze originated. As
it was just noon, the people in the nearby
houses were at dinner and they did not
at first discover the fire. Two men who
were engaged in digging clans on the
shore ear the hotel reached 1t IN time to
take from the lower floor a few chairs.
These were all that was saved. Whan the
neighbors reached the spot all that they
could do was to stand By and Watchsthe
flames finish their work of destruction.
The Gem Of the Bay was a well built
house but was not large one. 1t was
pr divided with all the modern appliances
for the management Of summer hotel
and was handsomely furnished. Mr.. Har-
ris was not in the city on Saturday, being
now attached to the steamer Governor
ID ingley which was in Boston, so the
amount Of the insurance could not be
aseertained from him. From other
sources it was learned that there was an
insurance OF about $4,000 held BY the
agency Of Prentiss Loring & Son. This
was on the hotel and portion OF the fur
niture. The cost OF the hotel was about
$l5 600

THE BOWLERS.
Much Interest in the Trade League
Carnival.

At Pine's alleys last week many
interesting games took place. The
interest in the Trade League tourna-
ment, which was started Monday, still
continues and the gamss are witnessed
by large audiences which show no parti-
ality when good plays are made.
Monday the Twitchell- Champlin team
were victorious over the Ayer-Houston
team. Wednesday the Rines Bros. team
took two from the Milliken, Cousins
& Short team. The feature of this game
was the third string which was won
by the Rines Bros. team by the small
margin Of one pin. Friday the Fletcher
team won from the Meloher team, all
three to their credit
Crockett bowled steadily and was east

THEIR FRIENDS ALARMED.
Boys on the Training Ship Enterprise
Have Not Arrived.

Boston, October l3.-The fact that the
Massachusetts, Nautical Training ship
Enterprise, which left Funchal, MADEIRA,
September 6, for Marblehead, has not
yet arrived nor has she been reported as
sighted since leaving that port, has caused
considerable anxiety among the relatives
and friends Of the 143 men on board.
The board on naval training held a ses-
sion today and the matter was discussed.
10 all inquiries the board decided to
make this reply: 1.-THE Enterprise is not
overdue and may be expected within the
next few days"
Secretary Hill explained that the En-
tsrprise was ordered to proceed under sail
from Funchal with the understand ng
that she was not to arrive at Marblehead
until October 10. The course was left to
the discretion OF Lieutenant Commander
Edward NJ. Hughes, her commander.
The Enterprise is supposed to have pro-
cesded under easy sail well across and
then up the coast and in the opinion OF
seamen may have held of owing to the
heavy weather.

received tonight are those from Crewe

gains. The ministerialists have thus
far elected 398 OF their candidates, while
