1t is not impossible that the agitation
which led to the abolition of stoves for
heating railway cars by legislative action
some years ago may have n parallel in
some movement for the suppression of
the oil lamp and the gas tank as adjuncts
10 the lighting Of cars. Electric lighting
has shown itself to be the cheapest as
well as the safest method of Illumination
for railway purposes. and it is altogether
likely that railway managers will them
selves discard the antiquated method Of
lighting now in vogue when this is more
generally understood.

were saved.
The storm was worse at Popham Beach

DAM SWEPT AWAY.
Lower Union River Dam Ruined and Four
Dams and Four Bridges in Danger.

Ellsworth, Me. April THE bulk
head of the lower dam on the Union
river went out. this morning. carrying
with it the ruins of mill which had
recently been dismantlcd. The Cam was
owned by the Boston Reduction Co,
which had just completed a $4,000
plant on the other bank of the river
and was soon to begin opera ations. The
less will run up into the thousands.
and opera ton of the new plant will be
delayed probably until fall. as the dam
cannot he rebuilt until the summer
drought comes.
The river is now within foot Of the
record high water mark made in 1887.
and four dams and an equal number Of
bridges are in DANCE. Behind the upper
dam is 10 miles Of flowage. Should this
dam be swept away the others are sure
to follow. The two bridges above the
upper dam are now under water and
are expected to go out at any minute.
It is still raining hard. tonight. and
the river is rising an inch an hour.
