The showers of wednesday aIternooh
made il necessary to postpone for day
tn lawn party of the Baptist Circle, ad-
yertised for that evening at Geo. Is:
Crockett's. 1t was, however, duly held
ON Thursday evening, when the intense
heat obliged every body to stay outdoors.
The grounds were illuminated with
Japanese lanterns, and were very at
tractiye. There was music by the
Western Avenue orchestra, and various
games were played by way OF diversion
though ii was a night when all unneces-
sary exertion was stunned. Ice cream
was sold, and needless to say, was taken
as fast as it could be served.
The fireman on one of the gravel
trains. Archie Dumore, had close call
Thursday. He was out painting the
smokestack, while the train was running
between Lewiston Junction and Dan
Vile Junction, and in some way fell on
on to the cowcatcher. He was out OF
sight of the engineer, and his fall was
not noticed. He managed to catch on
and save himself from being thrown on
in front of the engine, though one leg
was dragged along the track under the
cowcatcRer for quite distance. 1t was
thought at first that some OF his ros
were broken, but that proved not 10 OF
the case. though he was badly bruised
and had to lie off for few days.

PUBLIC MEETING THIS MORNING
Citizens Will Discuss Building of
Railway.

If sufficient interest is felt, there
will be general meeting of citizens
OF both town and county at 10 O'Clock
this morning, the object of which is
to discuss the building of the Bruins
wick Il Birmingham Railway.
And more particularly the further
ance of an effort to have it come via
Americas.
The meeting is called by the special
committee of six, appointed at a gen.
eral meeting held some time since.
This committee will make formal re-
port this morning.
The committee will state upon what
terms the projectors of the railroad
will bring it via Americas. Our citi-
zers will then decide whether or not
the town and county will accede to the
terms required.
It is plain business proposition
accept it or decline it.
Americas is favorable point for the
Brunswick & Birmingham and the pro-
je otors of the enterprise, feeling kindly
toward us, would be glad to come here,
all things being equal.
But, unfortunately for us, other com
munities want the road and are willing
to help build it if it goes their way.
Americas NAV be willing too; that's ex-
actly what the meeting is called for.
Let us see about it.
Every citizen of town and county is
requested to attend this meeting at
the courthouse at 10 o'clock.
