BIG LANDSLIDE
At WinsIow Blocks the Track
All Day Thursday.
About 1000 Cubic Yards Of Blue CLAW
Make Nasty Mess.
Passengers Transferred and Sent Alona
With Little Delay.

Waterville, Me-, March 26.-(SpeciaD.
The Maine Central road was blocked
all day, Thursday, by a landslide at
Winslow. About 1000 cubic yards of
blue clay started from the side of the
bank just below the curve south of
the bridge over the falls. About 80
feet of track was covered to a depth of
to s feet. Originally there was
about 12O cubic yards to be removed
from the track, but as fast as it was
shovelled out, the clay slid down from
the bank and filled up again. A
wrecking train was sent down from
here and one came from Brunswick,
so that work was pushed from both
ends, and a crew of over SO men was
employed all day.
The slide occurred about 5 o'clock
A. NJ, the early Pullmans and freights
having passed. Passenger No. "A,
which leaves here at sos A. NJ, was
held. Passenger No. "a, from Bangor,
due to arrive here at 9.0S, was delay
ed several hours. Passenger No. l,
east-bound, due here at 9.47, was held
at Winslow. Passenger No. 8, east
bound, due here at Ito, was cancelled.
The mail and some passengers from
No. GA were sent through on No. ~,
over the back route. No. Ga was run
down as far as the crossing in Wins
low, and the passengers baggage and
some express transferred to No. l,
which was sent back down the line.
The afternoon express, No. II, came to
Winslow, where passengers and bag
gage was transferred and sent through
on a train made up here. Express
No. 1912 was sent through by the back
route.
At 7.30 this evening, the indications
We're that no trains could get through
before tomorrow. Two arc lights have
been erected and a crew of about 40
men is at work. with a chance for
everyone wanting to WELD shovel.
There is now about 40 feet more of the
track to uncover and the men are gain
ing on the clay, which has, all day,
shown a disposition to slide in and fill
the excavations. The actual time of
raising the embargo depends, therefore,
on the disposition of the slippery stuff.

Boulevard in Greenville, to plan hos
pital to cost $500.0O0; to spend 100000
upon lands and buildings now, leaving
the remainder to be raised hereafter.
AT first | inclined to this plan and ac-
quiesced in it. Afterwards, as / be-
came more familiar with the subject, and
with city affairs / changed my mind. l
found widespread opposition to going to
Greenville and abandoning the present
Site DR.. McGill opposed the idea.
ways opposed it, and believe. finally
majority of the other trustees opposed
it also. Ny reason, for finally opposing
this plan was twofold: hospital in the
suburbs is inconvenient and Inaccessible,
it would abolish the dispensary privi-
leges which are now available by some
1900 poor people annually. 1t is too
costly a plan to be carried out in the
present condition of the city's finances.
The demand for money, for more schools.
more teachers, more police, and firemen,
fire houses, sewers, street pavements,
parks and other pressing needs of the
city is so imperative that / concluded
that the amount TO be spent upon hos
pital should be cut down. ], therefore,
favored the following plan: That we
stick to the present site, that we buy
additional adjacent land, that we tear
down the present structure. and in place
thereof build new hospital of brick,
to cost about 100000, so planned as
to admit of extensions in the future as
needed. This money would build plain.
first class hospital, adequate for the needs
of the city for at least ten years to come.
and, with extension, it will suffice for
generation. This is the plan I favor.
1t is going to be carried out.
/ pledged the people new hospital
from the day of my inauguration, |
have striven to redeem that pledge in
the face of hostile personal and partisan
opposition. / believe the plan l favor
can be carried out and before the ex-
piration of my term of office, mean to
see the contract let and the work begun.
If cannot get another physician to take
DR.. Dickinson's place, I viii appoint a
layman, if l cannot get layman I will
go on with the present members of the
Board. Upon one thing the public cen
rely, the new hospital will be built and
built Forthwith unless it is delayed by
hostile legal proceedings.
