| THE ELECTRIC ROAD. A gentleman
prominent in electric railroad circles told a
Belfast friend a few days ago that the road
between Belfast and Camden would be built
| the survey were at Saturday Cove last
Saturday and are supposed to have COM
| pleted their work. The survey is said to
! vary in soma points from former surveys.
The ;exact location of the road is not yet
| known
. The hearing of the merry voices of chill
dren and the sight of a hay rack filled with
| juveniles gave assurance that Col. W. A.
! Conklin of New York, the children's friend,
| had arrived for his summer sojourn at
| Northp0rt He is accompanied this year
by his neces, Mrs. Salisbury and Miss Ed
| ,f&
| rival here each season he hires a big hay
rack and filling it with children gives them
delightful outing, and Tuesday was the
| day for this looked-for event. While in
Belfast the party were served with soda
water at the City Drug Store.
MAYNARD WALTHAM GIRLS. Two
young girls, apparently Is or II years old,
| came to Belfast last week and hired man
| to take them to Searsmont where they put
| up at the Ness House, but left suddenly
without paying their bill. Landlord Ness
| telephoned to Sheriff Norton, and the girls
they registered as belonging in Waltham,
Mass. Mr. Norton teIephoned the chief of
police of Watham and he replied to hold
| the girls until he arrived here. The chief
arrived Tuesday, accompanied by the moth
er of the girls, and the party left for Wal
than Tuesday noon. The chief said the
girls had stolen S57, a watch and other ar
ticles, in Waltham.
HEALING THE SICK. Profs. J. p. Cotfey
and F. G. Hawley gave free public exhibit
i tions in Belfast Opera House Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday afternoons, showing
their powers of healing the sick and reiev-
ing pain At each exhibition several we'll
known citizens went on the stage and were
| treated by rubbing, massage, etc. All were
| chronic cases, and a number of the patients
went on the stage using canes and crutches
and came Oft with scarcely Il perceptible
limp and with their wooden supports under
| their arms or over their shoulders. One
! lady reported an improvement in her hear
ing, and one said "a pain caused by walking
was relieved. The professors have rooms
! in the McClintock block, High street.
| CLEANING THE STANDPIPE. The work
of cleaning the Water Co.'S standpipe for
| painting is progressing favorably. The
| work will require about three weeks, dur
| ing which time the standpipe is shut out
and the system supplied by direct pumping
with the pumps going constantly. The i'll
side of the standpipe was found to be cor.
roded in peculiar manner, the rust eating
| into the iron in fantastic forms somewhat
resembling frost work on window glass
| The upper half of the standpipe is corroded
very little and the lower part shows the
markings as above described, the rust hav
ing eaten in sixteenth of an inch or less
The middle band, which is at the lowest
| level the water reaches, was coated with q
rusty scale so hard as to require SHARP
hammers and drills to remove it. The
other could be taken off with ordinary wire
brushes. There was very little sediment
in the standpipe when the water was drain
ed Off
