filled in" said Mr.. Casey last night,

will remember his promise. Pavement
is necessary between the tracks. AT pres
ent wagon cannot be driven up the
street because the rails are raised above
grade"

the place of the company's abattoir lo-
Gated at Kearny, until the fire a week
ago destroyed it.

fuse to either confirm or deny the story
that the new abattoir is to be built with
in fhe city limits, there are some promi-
nent business men along lower Pavonia
avenue who say they have heard of its
coming. 1t is said, too, that the COM
pany has had surveyors going over the
Jersey City yards. foot of Sixth street,
during the past few days for the purpose
of selecting a suitable site.
As yet no application for permission
to erect building or to operate the
abattoir has been received at the local
health Office or at the Office of the build
ing inspector.
The business men along Pavonia ave-
nue. are alarmed about the rumor. They
say they will oppose any attempt to
bulld the abatt0ir. Among those who
will Join in tie fight are President John
D. Carscallen, of the Third National

PAY OF RURAL CARRIERS.
Augusta Carriers Earn Theirs by Not
Losing a Delivery.

General Superintendent Machen of the
free delivery system has just issued a
general order, copy of which was re-
ceived yesterday at the Augusta Office
relative to deduction in pay of rural car
riers. The order states that during the
month of February there was a phenom-
email large number of failures to perform
service on rural routes, the reason as
signed being bad roads. high water. snow
storms, etc while the department does
not question the honesty or good faith of
the letter carriers as a class, it is salts
fed that in n large number of instances
service might have been performed with
proper exertion on the part of the car
riers AS a measure of protection to the
department in the future, it has been de-
cided that pay will be deducted for every
day on which no service is performed"
1t is to the credit of the rural carriers
running out from this Office, that during
all the bad travelling of the past winter,
there was no complete failure on the car
riers part In few instances it was i'm
possible for the carrier to cover his en-
tire route, but in no case did he fail to
make delivery over nearly two-thirds oil
his route. This really is quite a remark.
able record for rarely have the roads
been in worse condition from flood ant
| frost than during the past few months.

FOUND AFTER SIXTY YEARS,
An Interesting Discovery Made in a
Cross Hill House.

While Charles f. Tobey, who lives in
the Cross Hill neighborhood, was MAX
ing some repairs upon his house, the
other day, he came across a note,
carefully folded and pinned to the wood
work in the partition between two
rooms. Investigation showed that it
was written and placed there when the
house was built, over 60 years ago. The
note read as follows:
South Vasselboro, August IS, 1871.
civilian Austin finished this room
and Doc. G. r. Randall wrote this
note. We have had no rain for 40 days
past. Everything drying up. Cows in
some places selling for $500 cash.
When this is opened the writer will be
dead"
The writing is in the round, old
fashioned style but is distinct as when
penned. The paper being folded and
hidden away all these years, the writ
ing had not faded. William Austin,
the carpenter, has been dead about 80
years, and has descendants living in
that neighborhoOd. DR.. Randall, the
writer of the note, was the father of
Ira H. and S. S. Randall of this city
and DR.. G. M. Randall. now in Massa-
chusetts. He was a leading physician
of VassalborO for many years and died,
a few years ago. 1t is not plain why
the note was dated South Vassal-
boro," as the house stood then as now
in Augusta. The severe drouth Of
1871 is doubtless remembered by some of
our older citizens. The prophecy of
the closing sentence of the note was
fulfilled though it is hardly probable
that the writer thought that almost 50
years would pass before the note would
see the light.

The next annual report of the rail-
roaG commissioners will have special
interest for it will show what it cost
Maine railroads to repair damages oc-
casioned by the destructive floods of
the past winter. That the damage will
run high is well known but how high,
not even the railroads themselves know
as yet. The amount that goes into re-
pairs on roadbcd and bridges and for
renewal of rails is no small item, even
in the best of years. According to the
report of 1901 the Maine Central spent
for these three items sO29S6 per train
mile in addition to which $0.211 per
train mile was spent for repair of
locomotive, passenger, mail, baggage
and freight cars. On roadbed, rails
and bridge the Portland & Rumford
Falls spent $0.305S per train mile: the
Canadian Pacific $0.2221: the Bangor 81
Aroostook, $0.1791; Boston & Maine,
$0.10S5; Grand Trunk, $0.1204; Somerset,
$a.2271; Washington County, $01256.
The total amount paid out by the
steam railroads for maintenance of
ways and structures in 1901 was
Secs, 343.2I OF this the Maine Central
paid 81, 206, S9523 and the Boston &
Maine, $3,515,6 4213
