Mention was made last week of the bur n
ing of Golden Rule cottage, fine II room
house owned by Mrs. John Darling, in
Warwick. Mass. Mr. Darling, who is a
travelling man, was away from home and
Mrs Darling and the hired man William Il.
Brewer were the only persons in the house.
The latter occupied a room in the L., and
Mrs. Darling ID bed which had been tenn
poriarly set up in the dining room. Mrs.
Darling was aroused about a, m. to find
the room dense with smoke. Selling an
old fur coat to put on over her night
clothes she made her way through the
kitchen and ont of doors calling loudly for
MIR. Brewer, but the FIRE was in that part of
the house and if not already past aid he
was so deaf that it would have been
impossible to make him hear Mrs.
Darling " ent to neighbors house for aid,
but was unable to arouse any one, and
returned to the house, later taking
refuge in the earn, where she was
found next morning nearly dead with cold
and fright. The house and contents were
totally consumed and Mr.. Brewer perished
in the flames. He had been in the employ
of Mr.. Darling about five years and was
very faithful and Conscientious in his
duties. He was an old man and suffered
from rupture which caused him many
sleepless nights. Mr., Darling thinks he
may have been driven from his bed by pain,

ried to his room may have tainted or had a
shock Or have upset the lantern alter light
ing. Mr.. Darling had the remains placed
in a casket and brought to Orange for in

NEWS OF THE RAILROADS.

EXCURSION RATES ON THE n. NJ. S. f. R.
The Bangor & Aroostook railroad has
made arrangements for a special excursion

pual session of the Maine State Grange,
which will be held Dec. 10, 20 and q. For
this occasion special tickets will be sold to
Bangor and return at one unlimited fare for

will be sold to North Bangor and reJurn
from which point Bangor can be reached
via the Bangor X Northern electric abroad,
fare 10 cents in each direction.
N. NJ. S. r. r. CONNECTIONS At BANGOR.
The Bangor & Northern electric railroad
now has grade connection with the line of
the Northern Maine Seaport railroad at
North Bangor and is in d position to take
freight off the Seaport road and bring it
into Bangor in the cars in which it is ship
ped. A short spur track was all tina; was
needed to make the connection between the
steam and electric roads and cars can now
be rolled from one line to the other with as
little difficulty as they could be shunted
onto siding There has been no arrange
ment between the n. NJ. S. K. f. and the
Bangor Il Northern in regard to interchange
of traffic The electric road has made the
connection with the consent of the Seaport
officials, but with the understanding that the
connection may be broken at any time.
THE MAINE CENTRAL PLANS
President Evans of the Maine Central, in
reply to communication from committee
of Bath citizens, says that all the railroad is
doing at the present time is surveying, for
the purpose of getting full and complete
information as to the possibilities of pro-
viding better railroad service between its
main line and its Rockland branch. Nothing
beyond the requirement of this necessary
information will be done toward changing
the company's railroad facilities in Bach
without the citizens of that place having
the fullest opportunity to know what the
company's plans are, and to discuss them
in the fullest and most open way before
any material change from present condi-
tions is attempted The Bath Independent
says: SIT will likely be many years before
the Kennebec is bridged and the Independ-
ent is inclined to think that we shall see a
new ferry on the route before we see a
bridge constructed"

asst issue of The Journal contains sugges-
lions for name for the new port of the N.
