containing four quarts of rum and bottle
with half-pint Of whisky were taken.
Garland has been ordered to appear before
Judge Peters next Monday to answer to
the charge of illegal selling. Another
seizure was made at the Falls station last
week when box OF liquor marked to
Charles Leslie was taken. Leslie is down
east working, and it would appear as
though somebody was using his name to
have liquor come into the city.
The gasoline launch which Charles H.
Curtis G. Co. have been building for a
Mr.. Wilder, of Boston, this winter is
nearing completion, and will be ready for
the water in about three weeks. The
launch is of a handsome model, thirty
eight feet over all, and an eight-foot
beam. She will draw about three and
one-half feet when furnished. She
will have a sixteen-hor power double
cylinder Ellsworth engine. Inside the
boat is comfortable and roomy. A cabin
that will accommodate ten or dozen is
now being built. Repairing in the yards
is not yet started. A small vessel that
has been on the ways all winter will prob
ably be hauled of and broken up for old
junk, as it would cost more to repair her
than she is worth.

| way to have two modern hand-carts. The
carts are of the four-wheel pattern, mod
eled after a horse wagon, only much
lighter, but are capable of carrying 800 to
1000 feet of hose. The carts will be made
to order by Gardiner firm, and will be
ready for delivery in about ninety days.
All tools and implements, rubber coats
and hats can be carried on these carts
without lessening it's hose carrying capac-
ity. The advantages of this arrangement
can readily be seen by any one familiar
with the present carts. Each cart will
| weigh about 600 pounds light and about
1,200 pounds loaded. Each cart will have
| pair of thills so it can easily be converted
| into horse-wagon. The entire credit Of
procuring these carts is due to Chief Engi-
| neer Eaton, who has been untiring in his
| work to procure them. Three years ago
the city came near buying a horse-cart
and equipping the department in thor
| oughly up-to-date style, but the scheme
| fell through.
