The land bought is mostly along the
shore, extending from Mack's Point at the
head OF Searsport HarbOr, west of Sears
Island Bar, to Treats Point on Cape Jelli-
son. AS some of these farms extend aero IS
the point the shore front extends around
on the southern side of the Cape nearly
half mile.
Two lots, aggregating 73 acres, bought of
Herbert L. Hopkins, are a mile or more
from the shore and from the other property,
and are on high hill northwest of Stock
ton Springs village. The hill is said to be
composed chiefly of granite, large quanti-
ties of which will be needed for building
culverts, wharves, bridges, foundations,
etc.
The property all passes to John T.
Reynolds, Jr., of Boston, chiefly by war
rantee deeds, with a few quit-claim deeds
in case of heirs to property, etc. There are
no mortgages back, showing that the
property is fully paid for. To this writing
forty-tive deeds have passed and the total
payments amount to upwards of 100000

A Serious Leak.

No Water on Yesterday Morning and the
Standpipe empty. The water on before
Noon.
When the people all over town opened
their water faucets yesterday morning
there was no water, and the natural ssuppo-
sition was that the house supply was frozen
up, as the mercury was below zero and had
been so every morning for week. 1t was
all over the city, and that the standpipe had
become empty in two hours time. The
pumps were started at the water works and
about 9 O'Clock the supply was on in the
lower part of the city, and at noon all on or
below Cedar street were supplied. The
leak had not been located at O'Clock.

The great and growing business of the
Bangor & Aroostook r. R. rendered necessa-
ry such an outlet as it will now have. The
road has been at disadvantage ever since
it started by not coming into Bangor over
its own rails, although it has had, and will
no doubt continue to have, friendly rela-
tions with the Maine Central for the trans
fer of freight, etc. The latter road also
controls the terminal facilities at Bangor.
By the route now proposed the rails of the
new road will be laid around the western
limits of the city and across the Maine
Central tracks at a point considerably be-
low the High Head property of that line.
From Lagrange to Stockton Springs the
route is almost due south, with no costly
bridges to build or engineering obstacles to
be encountered. A gentleman familiar with
the section of Waldo county through which
the road will pass-it is assumed that it
will not enter the villages of Winterport
and Frankfort-say that it will have level
country, with only one hilly'place to contend
with. At Cape Jellison, where piers will
be built, the B. & A. will have an all-the-
year-Open port, a safe harbOr, easy of ac-
cess, within % miles of the broad Atlantic.
1t will not be surprising if some of the
Canadian Pacific freight should also find
an outlet here 1t will be a shorter haul
than to st. John, N. B., with much better
facilities for navigation. At the New
Brunswick port the rise and fall of the
tide is about 35 feet here it is only ten feet.
Then there are the currents and fOgS of the
Bay of Fundy to contend with, with Cape
Sable and its outlying rocks and reefs at
the southern end of Nova Scotia to be
passed. The average freight steamer will
be on the broad Atlantic in two hours after
leaving Cape Jellison, and has broad and

Mrs. Jessie Mcqueen Innes died at her
home in Searsport, jan %, 1904. She was
stricken with paralysis three months be-
fore, leaving her left side entirely helpless,
but was able to sit up and took an interest
in everything until two days before she
died. The cause of her death was diabetes
She was born in Inveralau, Inverness Shire,
Scotland, March 81, 1s43, and was married
in Grantown Spey, Inverness Shire, to
George A. Innes of Aberdeen, Dec. Is,
1866. They came to America in July, 1873,
and settled for time in Hallowell; after
wards moved to Vinalhaven and thence to
SearspOrt. Five children were born to them
three in Scotland and two in America, of
whom three survive her: George of Belfast,
John of Searsport and Alexander D. of
California. She also leaves seven grand
children. Her husband passed to his future
home April Is, 1897, at the age of 62, in full
hope of the blessed immortal life. Mrs
1nnes had also lived a very devoted Chris
tian life. She was a faithful wife and low
ing mother, and one who had great many
friends. She will be greatly missed in the
community. The funeral service was held
at her late home Feb. 1, Rev. T. P. Williams
of the Orthodox church officiating. She was
member of the High Episcopal church of
Scotland. The bearers were, Frank Mort

Deserted by Five Husbands; Blu,
Finally Found a Man.

Once there lived wealthy mer-

beauty and graceful manners
AS she was of age the merchant
busted himself selecting a good hus-
band for her. At last he thought he
had found suitable man, and pre-
parations were made for the wedding
ceremony.
Many barrel of sake was consum-
ed in celebration OF the happy union,
and the customary cheer of "thous-

more" resounded from the lips Of
one guest to another. But, strange
to say, the young bridegroom, who
was supposed to be the happiest of
all, was on his knees before his pa
rents-in-law on the very next morn-

hateful thing-the divorce.
What can be done when a young
couple do not agree? After much

DATES FOR THE REUNION.
Confederate Veterans Will Assem-
BILE in Charleston May II And
Remain Three Days.

Charleston News and Courier.
At a meeting OF the citizens eNecu-
tive committee. it was decided that
the dates OF the reunion OF the State
Association OF Confederate Vet
Grams. at Charleston. remain as
originally fixed. May u, IS and
10. and that immediate steps be taken
to advertise the reunion throughout
the state, and to begin today an &C
tive canvass for subscriptions neces-
sary to insure its success.
Letters from Gen. Wiley Jones and
others were read touching on the fact
that the dates set for the reunion con-
hict with the the state democratic con-
vention to be held at Columbia, on May
18, and with the meeting of the grand
lodge, Knights of Pythias, set for
May u and IS, at Greenville. The
general discussion that followed ev-
idenced a general regret that the
dates for the several meetings will
conflict with the dates of the county
feet change in the dates set for the
reunion. but it was concluslvely
shown that an earlier date was mad
visable because OF the already short
time permitted to work out the pro-
posed details OF the entertainment to
be given the visiting veterans. and
conflict with the dates Of the county
democratic convention and memorial
day, and that to defer the reunion to
later day would result in the abroga-
ton of the unusually favorable con-
cessions made in the way of railroad
rates, and based wholly upon
the holding OF the. reunion at the
particular time set.

lowing lines from points in South
