the Lowell Arms plant at South Port
land and establish there branch of
their great business. 1t is said to be
the intention of the company to build
marine railway and make arrange
ments for the repair of transatlantic
liners and other large vessels, and to
equip a yard for the construction of
vessels which the facilities in Bath will
not permit them to build at that place.
1t is expected that when the arrange

A Water Famine.

Luckily it was Of but Short Duration.
The most serious break in the history of
the Belfast water works occurred last week.
Wednesday it was found that there was a
leak in the main which supplies the stand
pipe, and the water was shut off on North
port avenue in the afternoon. The stand
pipe was then full, but Thursday forenoon
that supply was exhausted, and the city was
without water for domestic or fire purposes
until Friday night, save what could be
drawn from wells or cisterns. Those who
had their wells filed up when the city water
was put in had reason to regret their action
while those who had wells shared the water
with their less fortunate neighbOrs. No
general warning could be given of the shut
ting off of the water, and the hOusekeeper
who tried faucet and found it dry natural
ly concluded that the pipes were frozen and
set to heating water to thaw them out. One
woman who had used up in this way all the
water in the house went to a neighbOrs for
more, to find her in a like predicament.
Others rushed to the plumbers. Finally the
situation was understood, and everybody
waited with more or less patience for the
break to be repaired.
The cit; authorities, meanwhile, had taken
all the precaution possible against fire. An
extra night Waterman was put on, the reSer-
voirs shoveled out, men placed on duty at
the engine house ready to respond at, once
with the chemical fire extinguishers to any
alarm of fire, and a horse was kept harness.
ed in Gentner's stable ready at any moment
for use on the engine.
The leak was located at the foot of Muir
phys hill near culvert, and the deep snow
here, to say nothing of the frozen ground,
made the task of reaching it a very difficult
one. The work was kept up increasingly from
Wednesday afternoon until nearly mid
night Friday, under the personal super
vision of Superintendent Bird. Coal Oil
and charcoal were used to facilitate digging,
and three holes were dug before the right
point was reached. The leak was caused
by the packing blowing out, and in making
repairs in such eases, an iron collar is put
on over the packing and set up as tightly as
possible with screws. The water was turn
ed on about ii p. NJ, Friday, land the stand
pipe filled, and Saturday morning the city
rejOiced in its usual abundant supply of
water.
While there were some Inconvenience
and discomforts, and it was found neces-
sary to dismiss the schools after the MORN
ing session Friday, we can congratulate
ourselves that matters were no worse.

At the Saratoga Street Methodist
Church, East Boston, the pastor, Rev.
C. A. Crane had comething to say last
Sunday evening regarding the liquor
traffic in Boston and in Kansas and it
was not very complimentary to Boston.
Among other things he said:
Boston hugs what Kansas spurns.
The outlaw in Kansas is respectable in
Boston. The Kansas calamity is adopt
ed for revenue only by Boston. The
curse of Kansas is made partner with
Boston in the plumber of the weak and
the women. l have heard some Boston
men laugh at imputed righteousness in
the case of Abraham. These same men
impute virtue to vice for a money con-
Sideration. At public sale Boston sells
her virtue to the most destructive vice
known She gets 81, 10000 year from
this sale of virtue and sneers at Kansas
because she has not yet consented to
barter in a like commodity.
Bath is evidently about to lose a
large part of the business, and perhaps
eventually the whole, of the Bath Iron
Works, because the necessary land can
not be secured to enable them to carry
out their large contracts. They are
willing to give $4,000, and would prob
ably give $4,000, for an adjoining prop
erty taxed at $4,000, but the owners of
this property have refused even to con-
fer with the Hydes in the matter, and
of course they can not be compelled to
SELL 1t is one of the cases where a
few private individuals can destroy the
prosperity of whole city. If the Bath
Iron Works establishes branch at
Portland it is only question of time
when the whole plant will be moved
there, as it would be folly to maintain
two establishments, when one could do
the business. A press despatch says:
1t is reported that the Bath Iron
