ed to be played in Belfast last Satur day,
but the Warrens did not appear to meet the
B. Il. S., and the game between Freedom

was too wet. A game was arranged for the
afternoon between the Belfast High and
the f. NJ. c. S., but only three innings were
played as the visitors had to catch the boat

THE RAILROAD QUESTION. Mayor
Shales appointed last week as a committee
to investigate the claims of property owners
along the route of the proposed railroad
from Searsport to a terminus in this city
Messrs Selwyn Thompson, O. E. Frost, W.
A. Mason and A. A. Howes. After some
enquiries by this committee it was decided
/ to call Il meeting of citizens to discuss the
matter and it will be held this, Thursday,
evening at 40 o'clock in the court room.
| 1t is hoped there will be full attendance,
that the railroad managers may be assured
of the interest felt here in the proposed
railroad and the practically unanimous de-
sire that its construction should begin at
once. Mayor Shales was called upon last
week by o. S. Engne officer from Port
land in relation to the proposed railroad
bridge. Mayor Shales told him that he
knew of no objection to the bridge The
officer said that he should recommend a
wider draw than that in the lower bridge,
but for what reason is not apparent

since it's institution on April 18th and a
larger membership than it ever enjoyed
when working under the w. 5. r c., thus
showing that national order is, apprecat-
ed by the ladies of this city 1t is the pur-
pose of this circle to reach a membership of
100 before the winter months, that it

war veterans are invited to make applica-
/ ton for membership. 1t is hoped that the
citizens of Belfast Will generously second
the efforts of the ladies of the Grand Army
and freely display The stars and stripes on
June 18th. In many places services of a
patriotic nature are held in the schools on
that day and a flag salute adopted for use
by the pupils. That the order of the Ladies
of the G. A. r. in Maine will soon double
its membership is assured by the amount of
work to be done in the near future in the
way of institutng circles, several only
| awaiting final arrangements before making
the date of institution. The ladies of the
Grand Army will be conspieuously repre-
sented among the Memorial day speakers,
two out of three women to speak in Maine
being officers in that body. Mrs Clara n
Sawyer, department president, will speak
before John b. Scott Post in VIM, and
Mrs. Florence NJ Wallace, department sec
rotary, will deliver the address before Ser
