vailed in Columbus that the Central If

or controlled the Georgia Pine Railroad

who knows what he is talking about. that

The Shoe Situation.

Forwardings of boots and shoes from Bos-
ton for the last two weeks reached the ex-
ceptional total of 2O7,3O2 cases, OF 48 per
cent. more than in the corresponding weeks
of 1900 and since January 1st shipments ex-
ceeded last years by 2,147 cases, while the
increase over all previous years was much
more. Uneven distribution of contracts is
still conspicuous, many large factories hav-
ing orders that assure activity well into the
autumn, while some smaller products find
the situation quiet. Jobbers at large eastern
cities are buying little at present, except of
tan shoes, and fall contracts will not be
placed until next month. 1t is no longer
possible to secure concession in prices, and
quotations are firmly maintained. A graft
flying feature is the demand for better
grades, cheaper shoes being in less request.
Heavy sole leather is still strong and active,
while light stuff is very dull, and an accu-
mutation of this quality was disposed of at
auction. Another advance occurred in dry
hides at this city, and Chicago prices are
sustained, although tanners are waiting for
better qualities as rule. --Dun's Review

A Sea Serpent in the Bay.

Capt. Charles S. Chapman and Capt. Chas.
S. Drinkwater, master and mate, respective
ly, of the schooner Kitty Lawry, which az
rived at Bangor last Thursday afternoon,
report that on Tuesday when off Mark
island, opposite Camden, that they saw a
sea serpent. Capt. Drnkwater was at the
wheel and he discovered the snake and call
ed to Capt. Chapman. The latter took a
glass and for 90 minutes the men say that
they watched the movements of the serpent.
There was another man ON the vessel who
did not believe it was serpent and not
until he had taken the glass and watched
the others had seen actually existed. Capt
Chapman says that when the serpent raised
his head out of the water more than eight
feet of his body could be seen, and it was

BASE BALL.
The Season Opens with a Victory for Bell

The Season Opens with a victorv for Re,fast.
The first game of base bali for the season
IN Belfast was played Saturday afternoon
on the Congress street grounds, between
the Belfast and Rockland High School
teams. It was the second in a series of six
games arranged between the High School
teams of Belfast, Camden and Rockland,
The first was played in Camden NAV 4th.
and the score was Rockland IS, Camden 2.
Last Saturdays weather was just right for
ball playing. 1t was warm enough for
spectators, yet the sun was obscured most
of the time The visitors came to Belfast
on the regular trip of the steamer City of
Bangor, and returned on her in the evening
lhey were accompanied by few friends.
Inc BELFAST team is made up as follows:
Manager, Clement, 'o2, c. f.. captain, Fer
nald, '02, S. s.; Brown, 'O4, C. Harmon, 'O1,
1b.; Ford, '04, 2b. Woodcock, 'O4, 3d. ;
Shuman, 'o4, l. f.; McMahan, 'o1, r. f.. Nc
Donald, 'o1, p; Colby, 'o2, and Bateman,
'02, substitutes. The game was well played
on both sides, and the many fine plays
brought forth hearty applause. The Rock
lands failed to get onto McDonald's curves,
and he struck out Is men. The Belfasts
found Frost somewhat easier, yet men
were struck out by him. Each pitcher let
two men to first on balls, and each side got
single base hits. The game was remark
ably free from errors for one by amateur
school teams in their first game for the
season, and in case of some of the players
the first regular game of their lives. Brown
gave Mcdonald good support behind the
bat, and Cross did equally good service for
Frost. The few long flies that went into the
outfeld were promptly gathered in by the
fielders. The boys on both sides are to be
congratulated on their fine game Following

The total appropriation is $1,1OO larger
than last year, caused by an increase in the
amounts appropriated for schools and free
text books, the fire department and the
sewer appropriation. The increase in the
school appropriation is $1,000, on fire de-
partment 500, and on sewers $4,000, Ono ap-
preparation for sewers was made last year,,
making total increase of $4,000, Against
this there is decrease of $500 in the high
way appropriation, which was increased
last year on account of building the bridge),
leaving as above stated net Increase of
81, 100.
The sewer plan, as explained in The Jour-
nal of May 9th, provides for an outlet near
the steamboat wharf and to reach it from
Miller street it is necessary to go deep into
the ledge in Front street at the Pendleton
shipyard. This is expensive work, as is
also the outlet line from high water mark
to the channel in the harbor. 1t is proposed
this year to make the connection at Miller
street and go to the shore, leaving the under
water pipe for future year.
