He had half Il seat To himself He
took out his note book and because.
when he struck the state House sid

formed the passengers in general that
il was the toughest road he ever saw.

proachfully IL call his attention to the
fact, his feeble mind wandered on to
that subject and he boldly announced
bodys rights and was too old to begin
now.
1t was suggested to him that he
didn't appear to feel very comfortable
that he had done no serious harm and
that if he would only shut up he would
be forgiven. He shut up.
Later reports said that he was still
at large ana was heard from on a car
headed this way.

SEBASTICO0K & MOOseHeAD.
Petition For Extension Of Road Granted at
Hearing Before Judge Mhitehouse.

IN" result of the hearing before
Judge w. L. Whitehouse, yesterday
forenoon. on the matter of the petition
of the bondholders of the Sebasticook
X Moosehead Railroad was entirely
satisfactory to the petitioners. As has
been before stated in the Journal. it
is desired to extend the line to the
town of Harmony. Several years ago
the work Of construction between
Hartland and Harmony was begun and
the rails We're laid to within a few
miles of Harmony when the work
ceased on account of financial troubles
The town of Harmony voted to grant
a subsidy as soon as the road was in
working order to that town. but of
course as the line has never been com
peted the money was not paid.
Judge Whitehouse's decision author
lies the receiver to issue certificates
for sum not to exceed $4,000 for
the desired extension and additional
equipment for the existing line. 1t is
optional with the promoters to extend
the road across Main stream or to the
village proper
J. W. Manson of Pittsfield. and Hon.
orville II. Baker of Augusta, appeared
for the petitioners ana Hon. Herbert
NJ Heath for one of the largest credi-
tors. Mr.. Heath made a motion that
the petition be dismissed but the mo-
tion was ovcrruled.
At present the line is not on a pay
ing basis. 1t is under the charge of
Alvin +. Thompson. temporary receiv-
or. Responsible parties will advance
the money and the promoters feel Ger
tain of paying off all liabilities and
placing the road on firm financial
footing.
Ever since the road was built it has
been in hard sleding. When the pro-
motors first conceived the idea it was
with the intention Of extending il to
the Bangor q Aroostook Road or what
was then the Bangor and Piscataquis
Railroad. Everything has been ar
ranged to build the road. 1t is all
financed and there was nothing ap-
parently. that stood in the way of the
road.
Nearly every town along the line,
believing that it would develop that
part Of the State had voted to sub
scribe money for the road The road
was built as far as Hartland without
the necessity for making a call on a
town for money. 1t was there that
the road met its first opposition. Then
the people of Hartland stated that
since the road had been built so far
without assistance there ought not to
be trouble in building ii the rest Of the
way. The promoters had no intention
of building an air line and as the town
refused to pay the amount agreed up
on the road stopped at Hartland.
1t is believed that if the road is eX-
tended to Harmony there will not be
the slightest trouble in getting other
towns along the road to make the sub
scriptions previously agreed upon.

mate friends of ]. \. Jones and when
the reunions are held in this city they

This year he had a camp erected for

WAS arranged in a Very attractive
manner, and in fact had been trans
formed into ii miniature camp with
tents. the open fireplace and every
thing else that would make it seem
more like the days when the men be
came acquainted in the service. III"

which was draped an American flag.
A sign placed on this warned the
people to keep out. but as was natural.
this WAS one of the first places investi-
gated. Mr.. Jones will have the camp

MISSING TINE ACCOUNTED FOR.
Rumor That New Witnesses Have Important
Evidence in Hamilton Case

1t is currently rumored on the street
that CITY Marshal Breen has secured
important witnesses. who by their tcS-
timony will fill in the gap of time from
IL until 3 o'clock, during which no
trace has heretofore been found Of Al
bert Hamilton. who met his death the
night of July 4. Just what these Wit
nesses will say it is not pyssible to
learn but it is stated that by their
testimony every moment Of the time
will be accounted for.
The murder theory is still strongly
held Ia by those who have been inter
ested in the ease. Those who knew
Hamilton best say that hc was a man
who did not get So drunk that he
would lie down beside the railroad
track or in any other place. but that
ut all times he was able to care for
himself
1t will be recalled that the testimony
Of officer Hanks was that the step
over which Hamilton fell was 50 high
that any man even if a Wcarer of the
white ribbon would stumble there. 1t
cannot b. found that Hamilton drank
after leaving Willow street and the
natural tendency would b. that he
would not grow drunken. but after sew
eral hours had passed would he able
to take care Of himself, even if he were
as drunk as has been said.
Some of the physicians who have
been Interested in the case say that
their belief is that he stopped on the
track q moment and while there some

The town of Somervillc, that little
bankrupt municipality in Lincoln
county. is seeking relief, it is said.
from its oppression of debt. At the
present time the debt Of the town is
81 900 in round numbers. while tn"
valuation is 51.9"i. The new plan, as
quoted is 10 claim that a part Of the
debt was Illegally contracted. 1t is the
Idea IF those who have this plan in
mind. to claim that all Of the debt over
per cent of the valuation was illeg-
ally contracted ana for that reason the
town cannot be held. If this plan is
successfully carried out the debt of the
town Will be- but little over $4,000. As
the valuation of the town has been
growing less. the debt would be more
than as though the percentage was
r3ckoned on the present valuation.

New Seal Windows Being Placed
in the Rotunda.
Board Of Examination 10 Meet in Adjutant
Generals Office. Thursday.

In few days the two seal windows
will have been placed over the main
entrance to the rotunda. They arriv-
ed, Saturday, and We're being placed in
position. yesterday. BY night. the
work was so far along that all that
remained to be done was to place the
lamps by which they will be lighted.
The windows are in duplicate. nach
being an exact counterpart of the
other. and will have a place over the
main entrance. one will be erected 50
as to be seen from the outside while
the second will be on the other side Of
the wall and directly behind the first.
Between Will be Il pendant nest of in
candescent electric glass globes. These
are to be arranged SO that every part
Of the windows will be lighted ana the
fun effect seen at night.
Every portion of the official and orig
inal seal has been followed on an in
creased scale in making the windows
The State seal occupies the central
part and shows the husbandman lean
ing on scythe at one side with the
sailor, leaning on an anchor, at the
other side of the shield. i'll which j.
enclosed the moose reclining beneath
the mast pine with the land and sea.
as Well as the other principal features,
each occupying an equally prominent
position. Above the shield is the word
'Dirigo." over which is the star. Be
low is the word Maine"
The whole is enclosed by double
row Of jewels ana decorative work of
drapory glass. At the bottom is the
national shield. which is broad rib
bon bearing the word Liberty" with
laurel at either side of the shield
Above the laurel spray at either Side
window is an American eagle over the
Stars ana Stripes.
While the design itself is very beau
tful. Vet it is to the coloring that the
finished effect is due Nearly 500
pieces of glass are used in the design
ana many are Of different hues. For
example. the finished effect to the sky
is given by opalescent glass The
shield has the three colors red. white
ana blue. while the proper effect is
gained by using ground glass for the
stars.
