THAT NEW RAILROAD BRIDGE.
Bath Expects It and from All lndi
cations Will Get 1t.

Bath, Me-, Nov. 14.-For several
very much interested in the move
ments of the officials of the Maine
Central railroad, regarding the build
ing of new steel bridge across the
Kennebec river at this point
The river opposite this city is near
ly half-nile wide and ever cince the
Knox & Lincoln extension was built,
thus connecting Rockland with Bath.
the trains have been transferred across
this river by means of ferry.
For some time il has beer known
that the Maine Central is considering
the feasibility of a bridge which would
do away with the car ferry and at the
same time give better service be-
tween Boston and Rockland. The line.
lit is believed. will eventually be ex-
tended from Rockland to Bangor, the
only links which remain to be con-
nected being between RockIand and
Belfast and Belfast to BuCksport, "A
total of about so miles.
Ely this route the distance and time
from Boston to Bangor would be very
much less than on the present route.
Surveyors have been busy for several
months laying out the route through
the northern part of the city where the
railroad would have to pass If the
bridge should be built while bridge
builders and experts have been busy
selecting locations for the erection of
the structure.
T.. A. Clark of Boston, is now boring
the bed of the river and taking sound
ings at point opposite the old Tar
ward dock at the north end. Here the
river is $500 feet wide and borings are
being made every 100 feet from shore
to shore The depth at this point
ranges from 50 to IS feet.
The probable construction of this
bridge is causing a great deal of COM
ment throughout the city. Many real
ize the benefit of being on the main
line. but on the other hand. should the
bridge be built at that section Of the
city where surveys have been made.
the depot would be removed almost
two miles from it's present location.
which is now in the business section Of
the city. This would be quite an in
convenience TO business men.

Advice That Was Worth II.

II was once a slave to the coffee
habit and became almost confirmed
invalid by drinking it," says MIR. G. ii.
Aitken of Whiting. N. J.
Il tried to break away from coffee
but every time I stopped, | suffered
from severe sick headaches, and for
relief went back to coffee again. only
i'm the end to suffer from extreme ner-
vousness and severe bilious attacks.
Il became so irritable that / made
life miserable for my family and my
self. Finally l went to New York to
consult a specialist. After thorough
ly questioning and examining me, he
said I must give up drinking coffee as
it had greatly undermined my health,
and he further said that coffee killed
more people than rum. l laughed at
him. but he said it was the truth and
that in his practice he had seen many
evil effects from coffee drinking.
He said it was of no use to pre-
scribe for me, unless gave up coffee,
and recommended that I use Postum
Food Coffee. which he highly recon-
nended. He charged me $12 for his
advice. which l thought rather high
priced at the time. but today I think
it very cheap. I bought several pack
ages of Postum from the grocer and it
was the best days work ever did for
myself.
Il had pot of Postum made for my
supper that night; that was in the
spring of 1898 and have drank it ever
since with the best of results to my
health. The sick headache and ner-
Ii
fee have entirely gone: l am never
bilious and have increased in weight;
1 have a happier disposition and am
much more agreeable company to my
family and friends.

BANK FAILURE.
The Central National Of Boston
Closes Its Doors.
Never Recovered from Blow from the
Pacific Bank Failure.
The Wreck Due to Losses Sustained
Accounts Are Straight.

Boston, Nov 1.-THE Central Ma
tional Bank of this city did not open
its doors, Friday. the institution having
been closed by order of the comptroller
Of the currency, with National Bank
Examiner w. +. Neal in charge of the
institution as temporary receiver.
The failure for negotiations for the
Eliot National Bank to liquidate the
Central National and the refusal of the
Boston Clearing House Association to
aid the latter bank are understood to
he the immediate causes of the failure.
but il is said i'm banking circles that
the Central National never fully re-
covered from the blow 1t received 20
years ago when, with the Pacific Bank,
which failed at that time. 1t was in
volved in the collapse of the Lebanon
Springs Railroad. The Central Bank,
then about nine years old. lost $780,
600 and an assessment Of about 100
per cent. was made upon the stock
holders and no dividends were paid for
10 years.
II is claimed also that the bank car
ried heavy amount Of excess loans
while a large proportion of its assets
is of such nature as to make realiza-
ton very slow.

cial institutions of the city, the bank
was rated as doing good CONNER
