A Kind Deed.

There was a case of genuine kind
ness in the city, Tuesday afternoon,
that warmed the hearts of all who saw
it. A woman, evidently stranger in
the city, wearing mourning and hover
ing aSfiock of four children, the oldest
a boy of about six years perhaps and
the Youngest a small baby in arms, was
bound for North Arson, but boarded
the Skowhegan train by mistake. This
was discovered before she reached
Fairfield. SO she left the train there ard
returned by Electrics, intending to go
to Oakland But the last train had left
over the Somerset, SO she would have

FlREMEN'S FIELD DAY.
The Ladies' Are Anticipating Very
Pleasant lime. Today.

This is the day fixed for the field
day of the fire department and if it is
as pleasant as was Tuesday, one of the
best little family parties the city has
had in long time will be enjoyed. The
plans have now been well perfected
and the program promises to be a very
interesting one. In the first place
there will be parade, commencing at
go in the forenoon. This will be fol-
lowed by the cart contests which are
expected to take the remainder Of the
forenoon. These will be held on Main
street.
At noon regular old fashioned fire
mems dinner will be held at the Ar
mory. In the afternoon. commencing
at 2 o'clock, the reel and coupling con-
tests will be held on Elm street. These
will probably take all the time until
dark. The men will then scatter for
supper and in the evening a ball will
be held at the Casino at Oakland, to
wind up the day.
There is a great deal of rivalry
among some of the companies in the
city as to which one can do this or
that the best and they will all have Il
chance to settle their disputes in these
contests SO some pretty hot contests
are being anticipated. All of the work
will be of q practical nature and will
demonstrate the efficiency of the de-
partment as well as give the men prac-
tice. One such affair has been held,
although on Il smaller scale and proved
very interesting. A great deal of in
terest is being manifested in this one,
and if the weather is favorable it will
be a very pleasant day for the fire lad
dies and their friends.

HEARING OPENS.
Appraisers of Water Plant Be-
gin Work at Watervi|le.
The Last Stage ina Fight Over Eight
Years Long.
Hearing Suspended, Today-lnspcc
ton of Watershed, Tomorrow.

Watcrvillc, Me, Oct 6-(SpcciaD-
The hearing before the appraisers to fix
the price the Kennebcc Water District
should pay the Maine Water Co. for
the property it OWNS in this vicinity
opened, this morning, in the court room
of the City building. The forenoon
was devoted chiefly to a display of
thunder by the attorneys of the water
company and ended in an agreement
to pass the afternoon in IL drive about
the city and Thursday in an inspection
of the country in the vicinity of Bel
grade and tie lakes which furnish the
water for the plant here.
Hon. +. II. Appleton, one of the APP
raisers, will go to Bangor, Wednesday
morning, to attend the funeral of his
brother, Henry A. Appleton, who died
there, Monday. He will return in the
afternoon and on the arrival of the
train the appraisers, attorneys and
j others specially interested in the case
Will take carriages and drive to Bel
graEe where the night will be spent at
the Belgrade hotel Thursday will be
devqted to an inspection OF the water
shed and lakes that supply the MESA
lonskee stream. 1t is expected that
the hearing will be under way again,
Friday, and that the last two days of
the week will be fully occupied with
the taking of testimony. Such then is
the result of the first day of the great
battle.
But there was asgredt array of talent
at the opening and promise of some i'm
teresting sessions later on. There were
legal, bacteriology and engineering ex-
perts, assistants for the experts and

tons without dispute.
The display of legal talent is unusually
fine. The district is represented by
Harvey D. Eaton, who has led the fight
for some eight years, and is assisted by
Ezra Il. Thayer of Boston, the son OF
his professor in the Harvard law
school and q classmate there.
on the other side are Orville d.
Baker of Augusta, and Charles F..
Johnson of this city. The board of ap-
Draiscrs is made up of some Of the best
legal and expert knowledge to be
found and is headed by Hon. Frederick
A. Powers, associate justice of the SUI
preme court who will have the assis-
lance of Hon. f. II. Appleton of Ban
gor in the law and of Percy M. Blake of
Hyde Park, Mass, in the engineering.
Samuel G. Manley of Augusta, pres
ident of the Maine Water Co., was an
interested spectator at the morning
session. He was feeling fairly well
pleased with the price that had just
been announced on the Gardiner prop
erty and consequently was able to en-
ter upon the second fight with good
case arc much larger but as yet only
very rough estimates of what either
side expects have been made.
Mr.. Baker opened the fight by read
ing abstracts from the bill authorizing
the organization of the Kennebec Wa
ter District to give a general idea of
it's purpose and powers. In this con-
hection he stated that there was dis
pute as to the dam at the foot of Long
pond that would have to be settled in
some way later.
The plans, as prepared by Mr.. Getch-
ell were then introduced, showing the
pipe line and water shed of the COM
pany. BY the time these had been ex-
amined it was nearly noon and the
question of arranging the program for
following days came UP. Mr.. Baker
suggested that it be as already given
but Mr. Eaton objected. While he did
not wish to appear ungracious, he said,
he did not think the proposed trip to
be necessary as his side did not dis
| pute that there was an abundant sup
ply OF good water in the Belgrade sys-
TEN but claimed that it was not re-
| ceived in pure condition in the city.
So he thought an examination of the
supply would be a waste of time.
| The point was briefly discussed by
ithe appraisers and then Judge Powers
announced that the attorneys would be
allowed to present their case in their
own way and if those representing the
water company considered the trip adj
visable it would be made. So the pro-
gram was allowed to stand as it had
been arranged.
