The Passing Away Of Old Land
marks.


The Gazette desires to cOngra-
tulate the alderman in whose
fertile brain was evolved the idea
to do away with the hundreds of
bridges which were an impedi-
ment to traffic and an eyesOre to
to the public. Now that the old
things are being removed every
body is wondering why they
were ever built. OF different
sizes and dimensions, of various
degrees of architectural beauty,
some of prehistoric age and
others of an e-bellum vintage,
and all long ago fallen into a
state of innocuOus disuse, these
bridges which are being demOl-
ished by the icOnoclastic ham
mer of our progressive Council
make up the rarest collection of
municipal bric-abrac that we
have ever seen. Some of our
citizens are disposed to treat
this matter in light vein, but
we consider that it is notable
stride in the direction of pro-
gress. 1t marks the advent of
new era. The passing away
of the old bridge is a fOrerunner
of paved walks.

3ravoo1na Around the World
Visit Laf;Ay yette.

Jan Nahodil and Jaraslav ,Tuzar,
two Bohemian reporters who are
walking around the world, called
1t The Gazette Office Thursday
morning. Nahodil represents
the Radikalni Listy and Tuzar
the Nariordni Listy. Both pa
pers are published at Prague,
Bohemia. The men are intelli-
gent and are no doubt practical
newspapermen. They carry with
them any number of authentic
certificates to show that they are
not imposters. They landed in
New York about a year ago and
since they set foot on American
soil they walked over 1000 miles.
They write daily accounts of their
travels to the Bohemian newspa-
pers. They speak French, Eng
lish, German and Italian, besides
men of more than ordinary in
telligence. They speak very en-
5ertainingly of their visit to the
White House where they met
President Roosevelt. Tuzar, who
is an artist of no mean ability,
has made the pictures of a num-
ber of eminent Americans. He
is now at work on Bryan's pict-
ure.
Both Nahodil and Tuzar ex-
pressed themselves as highly
pleased with the treatment they
receive at the hands of the peO-
pie everywhere. They like this
country and are particularly well
impressed with the freedom en-
joyed by the press, thing which
is unknown in Bohemia where
the newspaperman who is bold
enough to offend the government
is severely punished.
The Bohemian reporters con-
tinued their peripatetic journey
in the afternoon. They are on
their way to Galveston, where
they will board ship for Havana.
They expect to spend two years
more on their trip. For their
board and lodging they depend
upon the generosity of the peo-
pie. While here they were cared
for by the local papers.

to get games for the team. Fairfield is
the only one near home that is fas

conveniently. Next to Fairfield, Befas
is the most convenient. But with

would all be arranged and the work Gu

THE MARROW GUAGE.
Changes, Improvement and Advance.
ment Now in Order.

Several changes have been made in the
officials of the Waterville, Wiscasset &
Pennington Road. the object being to &c
duce the force as much as possible with
enough for proper management DR.. f.
c. Thayer of this city, has resigned as
vice president and his place will be TAX
en- by Godfrey P. Farley, formerly gem
eral manager and superintendent, the for
mer still remaining as member of the
board of directors. F. 3. Hubbard, who
has been in charge of the freight depart
ment. has been elected general superin-
tendent and the duties of treasurer have
been added to those of private secretary
to President Atwood. which have been
performed by John IL. Gould, Mr.. Gill of
Philadelphia. resigned.
Waterville will be especially pleased to
see Mr.. Hubbard become superintendent
of the road as he is known here as q
| thorough going railroad man who got his
experience on the Maine Central where he
| worked his way up step by step, and will
therefore be just the right man to care
| for the interests of the road and of the
city in connection with the road.
| The city Is also pleased to see Mr..
Gould promoted, for although a compar-
ative stranger here he has made a very
| favorable impression and has done much
| for the city in the way of advertising
and booming the little road and incident
ally the city itself.
| 1t is the intention of the new officials
! to rush the work of construction along
| just as rapidly as possible. Mr.. Atwood
| now has things well shaped and can make
his characteristic energy and hustle
count.
Some nine miles of the road on the
Pennington end in the vicinity of New
Sharon has been graded. This work has
| been done internationally and with local
labor, but now it is the intention to go
at it in earnest just as soon as possible.
The Journal is informed by one of the
officials that the work Of building the
bridge over the Kennebec will commence
just soon as the water in the river
will permit which ought to be in a short
time now. The pier building will of
course have to be done when the water
is at the lowest point for the summer
| if this season is selected for the work,
| and the lack of ice enough during the
past winter has made this necessary.
The work on the bridge will be pushed
along just as rapidly as possible. for it
is evident to all Interested that the cross
ing of the river will be the life of the
road. With its present terminal in Wins
low no freight business of any account
can be done, the cost of trucking
across to the city is too great.
The equipment of the road is to be
thoroughly overhauled at once. The old
cars and engines will be thoroughly re-
paired. painted. rc-lettered, etc. New
rolling stock will also be purchased. The
new observation car arrived al the Wins
low station, last evening. This will seat
about 50 people and promises to be a pop
ular feature, especially with excursions.
In short. the little road is to be all over
hauled and put in the best possible shape

by officer Chamberlain, and he had
just landed his man in the station and
returned to his beat. when he found
Lambert.
1t is understood that Lashus told
Officer Chamberlain that one of them
went through the house while the other
watched. an entrance being effected by
forcing the back door. 1t was not
known. Thursday evening, just what
was missing, though not much of value
is though to have been taken.
