WI Look Land Over, Today.

a co ference Of the Carnegie library
committee and representatives of the
Coburn Classical Institute was held at
the City building, Saturday evening,
on the question of purchasing the
Noyes estate. A conditional price OF
$4,000 has been placed on the property
and it is just what Coburn and the city
need just at present, the former for
dormitory and the latter for library
and central fire station. Under these
conditions it has been thought that it
might be possible for the two to LINE
drives" in the purchase, so that each
could have what land it wants.
The matter was talked over pretty
thoroughly and committee appointed
to look the land over to see what price
can be paid for it and if it is suit
able for the purposes in mind This
committee consists of Mayor Blaisdell
and Harvey D. Eaton of the library
committee and F. w. Johnson and Cy-
rus w. Davis from the Coburn trus-
tees The committee will look the land
over, today.

SCHOOLS COMMENCE, TODAY.
Enough Coal for Some Buildings and
Wood for Others.

There has been a good deal OF con-
lecture among the scolars of the 1ty
as to whether or not the schools would
commence according to schedule, this
morning, on account of the shortage Of
coal. While the skating lasted they
had little rather not have them COM
mence but on the other hand they did
not fancy the idea of making up lost
time through the summer months.
But Superintendent Wyman an
nounces that they will commence this
morning, as usual. There is a little
more than a car load of soft coal at the
North Grammar and Myrtle street
schools and this viii be used in the fur
naces. At the South Grammar build
ing there is hard coal which was left
over from last year to keep the fires
going all right. In the other buildings
wood can be used although coal is pre-
ferred and under ordinary cireum-
stances is more economical. But the
schools can get along with what coal
is on hand and with what can be OBJ
tanned and with wood all right and will
be in full blast again, today.

A FLowAeE CASE.
e. c. Mathews, ct al. VS.. IT,, G. & &.
Co., Heard Before Referees.

hearing was in progress all day in
the superior court room of the City
building, Saturday, before Judge Will
liam Penn Whitehouse and Josiah H
Bassett as referees in a flowage dam
age case. The plaintiffs were Edward
c. Mathews and two sisters and the
defendants the Union Gas & Electric
Co, the former being represented by
Harvey D. Eaton and the latter by
Charles F. Johnson. The plaintiffs
claim that their land, part of which is
owned by DR.. Mathews alone and part
Of which is owned by the three joint
~, has been overf1owed because Of the
dam of the Union Gas & Electric Co.
on the Mesalonskee, and it's value
thereby decreased.
The agricultural value of the land
has been badly damaged, they claim,
and also the scenery about the house.
The defendants claim that the flow
age has been caused by unusually high
water during the freshets which have
been unusually severe of late rather
than their dam. Much testimony was
introduced as to the character of the
stream, the dam and the land which
it is claimed has been damaged. Con-
siderable was also brought out about
the old dam and water powers along
the stream. The taking of testimony
occupied most of the time during me
day.

a VALUABLE BOOK.
Military History Of WaterviIIe by Gen.
Bangs, Now Out.

Brovet Brig. Gen. Isaac s. Bangs,
who wrote the chapter on the mill
tary history CT Waterville for the Cen
tennjal History of the city, has added
some fresh material to it and repub-
lished it in book form under the title
of the Military History Of Waterville,
making a volume that will delight any
soldier. The covers are in the national
colors, red, white and blue, ana the
book contains rs pages, printed on
heavy paper of excellent quality within
uncut leaves This description applies
70 the presentation copies, there being
another edition of paper bound.
Cen. Bangs has been at work several
wears on such history before the CEN
tennial celebration was planned and
when the history came to be written
he was prepared to do the chapter on
the military history in a most thorough
and interesting manner.
The contents of the book include the
names and record so far as known Of
all soldiers of Waterville in the several
wars of the Republic, a portion of the
records of the Waterville Monument
Association and a sketch of wv. S.
Heath Post, No. IA, G. A. r."
The book is full of facts and figures
told in a very clear and interesting
manner and is a very valuable contri-
button to the history Of the city. The
frontispiece is a fine half tone picture
of 1t. Col. William S. Heath and there
is also another of Brevet Brig. Gen.
Frances E. Heath, two of the best
known of Waterville's heroes.
Gen. Bangs himself is one of those
who won the highest rank of any go
ing out from Waterville for gallant
and meritorious service" and it is es
pecially fitting that he should write
the military history. He made a splen-
did record during the Rebellion and
since its close has always taken great
interest in military affairs.
In addition to the history just issued
he has published a very interesting
and authentic sketch of the famous
Ulman Brigade in which he served
with distinction. These two publica-
tons, written with the greatest care
when it is possible to get all the facts
will be of great value.
