Trip to Indian Pond Dam.

S. w. Philbrick, treasurer of the
Kennebec Log Driving Co., went to
Indian Pond, Thursday of last week and
inspected the dam at the southern end
with reference to its early rebuilding or
repair. Mr.. Philbrick left here by the
5 10 train, reached Moosehead station on
the Canadian Pacific about one o'clock
p M, and walked from that point to
Mike Mahr's camps at the head of
Indian Pond, a distance of five miles.
He was taken down Indian Pond to the
dam, seven miles, by batteau, made the
examination of the dam, and returned
to Mahr's camps that night. Mr.. Phil
brick Lad plenty of variety in his days
travel, 1913 miles by rail, five miles on
foot and fourteen by boat. He was ac-
by W. l.. Shaw of Green
Vile, director of the Kennehec Log
Driving Company. 1t was decided to
order minor repairs on the dam this fall
and to make preparations for rebuilding
a large portion of lt'during the season of
1907 The cost of the work contemplate
cd next year will be from five TO ten
thousand dollars according to what is
found necessary after the construction
is entered upon The main dam is 225
feet long and fourteen feet high, and
there Is a wing at the northwestern end

sent form twenty years ago to increase
the capacity of Indian Pond as storage

point and on the river below.

Contested Election Case
without Contest

kennebec county has contested
election case on its hands that is
unique. 1t is contested case with
out the contest. 1t will be remem
bered that not long after the polls
closed last September, Rev John b
Reardon, Universalist minister of Oak
land, was declared elected as state sena-
tor on the Democratic ticket and the In
cident was closed for while until
George w. Heselton of Gardiner, the
Republican candidate for senator. and at
one time in line for the presidency of
the senate, decided to investigate the re-
turns when large batch of votes were
found in Watervile that had inadver
tently been overlooked which reversed
the situation and gave the election to
Mr. Heselton which has been generally
conceded, even by Mr.. Reardon, and it is
generally given out that he will not con-
test the election.
In view of the fact that his election
Ia now SO unanimously conceded Mr.
Heselton is anxious to secure from the
governor and council certificate of cleo
ton before the assembly meets, if the
executive body can see its way clear to
grant it. He had a long conference
Thursday with the election committee
of executive council which consists of
Councillors Murchie, Blanchard and
Clarke and 1t Is reported that one of this
committee is strongly in favor of grant
ing Mr.. Heselton the certificate.
Mr.. Heselton does not desire the GER
ti6cate because il will have any hearing
in the contest for the presidency of the
senate, as be has already conceded that
to his competitor, Fred Allen, of San
ford, although Mr.. Heselton is frank to
admit that he feels that he had the inside
track up to the time of the election, and
he is naturally somewhat disappointed
ovea the result. If this contested cleo
ton case is allowed to take its usual
course. of course Rev Mr.. Reardon will
be temporarily seated upon the assem-
bling of the legislature and in the appor-
tionment on the committees MIR Rear
don will be assigned just as though he
was 70 be permanent member of the
body. 1t is partly to get the places de-
sired on the committees that Mr.. Hesel-
ton wishes TO have the governor and
council grant him the certificate of cleo
ton for among other things, he is a can
didate for the committee on judiciary, a
place to which Mr.. Reardon would not
likely be assigned. Besides Mr.. Hesel-
ton is very much interested in some of
the contests for state offices, and is de-
sirous of taking part in the election, all
of which things he would be unable to do
if the certificate is refused by the execu-
tive body
The election committee of the council
is said to stand two to one at present
against granting it, but whether the
minds of the committee will be changed
before the assembling of the council
remains to be seen. Kennebec county,
nor any other county, ever had just such
contested case before, while it is
somewhat of an unusual request to make
of the governor and council, there would
seem to be some grounds for making the
same.

Sunday Fire In Pittsfield.

A severe blow to Pittsfeld occurred
Sunday morning when the Lancey house
was practically destroyed by fire. At
6 so a. m. the alarm was rung In from
box Al, and as soon as possible the fire
department was on the spot, and the
main street was filled with people, many
doing all possible in way of help The
fire was discovered about % o'clock In
the pastry room in the ell, the fire In the
stove having been built short time be-
fore. The fire progressed rapidly for an
hour, when 1t was found necessary, in
order to save any part of the house, say
nothing of other buildings near to get
assistance and In response to telegram
to Waterville, steamer and hose cart
arrived, making the trip ln "a minutes.
With the force of water, which the
Waterville department was able to give,
they confined the fire to the one build
ing, which Is a complete wreck.
The fourth story, roof and tower were
burned. also the most of the ell, and the
third story almost wholly burned with

Worst Accident of the Year.

A railroad accident that was even
worse than the Midway wreck of July
80 1896 sent about so people to a sud-
den DEATH Sunday afternoon catching
them like rats in a trap.
The cars on the 100 electric train of
the West Jersey and Seashore Railroad
lines, due at Atlantic City, n. j., at 2.30
jumped the track on the trestle bridge
over the Thoroughbred The trestle
is about Is feet above the water
The accident was due to rail turn
ing in" 1t appears that the rail, which
was an outside one on the inbound track
must have been out of plumb about an
eighth of an inch. The sharp fange of
the electric train caught this and twist
ed it inwards Had it spread instead of
twisting inwards the accident never
would have happened. This twist threw
the first car off the rails and into the
water. The second and third cara were
dragged with the one at the head of the
train and while the third car was falling
the rear portion struck a piece of the

then slid into the water. But this brief
stop saved several lives. A number of
men and a few women leaped out OF
windows and the rear door out into the
water or a nearby post, where they
chung and were rescured 1t was stated
that from so to 100 passengers were
aboard, mostly all crowded into the first
and second cars. The persons in the
first two cars were sent into the water
and engulfed. Among the passengers
were 20 men of the Royal Artillery Band
who were on their way to Atlantic City
from Philadelphia. One or two of the
bodies of the bandsmen were recovered
early sunday afternoon,
The total number of dead in the appsl-
ling wreck is now placed at SO OF
these, 40 bodies have beee identified,
two remain unclaimed in the temporary
morgues, and two persons are known &c
have been drowned, but their bodies
have not as Yet been recovered.
Two Esstport women lost their lives
in the wreck. They were Mrs Cora Bib

photographer, and Mrs. Walter F. Brad

She was the only daughter of the late

New Home of Rex4n Remedies
800 Stockholders In Boston, Sept.
25 FL. ,O6

rs Fl, 'O6.
One of the greatest business successes
of the year has just been achieved by
the United Drug Company in the open
ing of its new laboratories in Boston.
The United Drug Company is a cooper
alive Company owned by 1000 of the
leading druggists of the United States.
Eight hundred OF them were in conven-
ton at Boston in September, at which
time they formerly opened the new
plant where the Rexall Remedies are
made.
This building is 37l #. long, six
stories high, and contains $50, 900 square
feet OF -four space, which Is filled to
Overlooking.
The gigantic success and rapid growth
of this company are attributable TO one
CO operation, obtain
cd by most able management and the
application of the highest business prin-
| ciples, and undertaking integrity in all
matters pertaining to medicine
The company was organized and
started in business on the 14th of March,
1908, showing that it is not yet four
years old. That this company has grown
from 80 employees at the time it started
to its present number of 600, goes to
prove that the company's claim that CO.
operation, handled and backed by good
friends, will produce the most rapid
success of any other system that could
be employed in getting business.
The United Drug Co. has been a con-
slant advertiser Ia more ways than one.
1t is generally conceded that they are
the largest users of newspaper space in
the United States, and in addition to
that they have annually held conven-
ton of their stockholders, bringing them
to Boston and entertaining them and
their wives for two or three days. This
year the entertainments were as follows:
Tuesday the visitors inspected the manu-
featuring plant of the Rexali Remedies
In Koxbury, after which sumptuous
luncheon was served. The weeks fes-
tivities wound up with a banquet in the

stockholders were present Among the

New England Favored

An unusually warm and delightful Ru-
tumn this year in New England chiefly.

England but others parts of the world
have suffered much the past year, not
forgetting Naples and san Francisco.
Honolulu if apprehensive that some
thing unpleasant is going to happen as
the result of the almost unprecedented
heat that has recently been experienced.
The unrest that this old planet has
shown the past year, or rather the past
six months, invests any unusual phenom-
ena with prophecy of peril in those sec
tions where elementary commissions have
been common. 1t has been year of ex-
traordinary disaster in various parts of
the world The unusual fury OF Nesu
vius last spring produced results that
excited the worlds pity and sympathy.
Its wrath had not yet cooled when the
San Francisco earthquake oyershadowed
il in the extent and terror of the ruin
left in its path. Then followed the rend-
ing of the chief cities of Chile, the ty-
phoons with their great loss of life and
property in China, and the Philippines,
the ten days hurricane in San Salvador,
the great storm along the Gulf Coast,
involving lives, crops and commerce
of the lower tier of states, and the later
storms which have been hardly less
destructive in some parts of the South
and in Cuba We have had premature
frosts in the cotton belt and premature
Billiards in the cattle raising country,
while advcnturers in the upper air cur
rents have found torrid heat eight thou
sand feet above the earth, q level where
only extreme cold is looked for.

Cases are Mol Pressed

Al the case in the Androscoggin
county Supreme court against Rev.
Frank ". Sandford of shiloh, leader of
the "Holy Ghost and Us" society, In
Guiding one charge of manslaughter and
four of cruelty to children, have been
mol pressed. Against each of the
charges on the record of the clerk of the
court has been written the memoran-
dunn: mol pressed on advice of the
court"
Sanford has been tried three times
on an indictment for manslaughter, al.
leging that the death of Leander Bart
lett IA year old boy, who was one of
the Shiloh colony, resulted from undue
punishment inflicted for disobedience of
the rules of the colony. 1t was alleged
that the boy was deprived of uourish
ment and that weakened by hunger he
was attacked with sickness that result
ed fatally. The first trial, which was
held in the Androscoggin county court
In Auburn in January, 1904, resulted in
a disagreement. On motion of Sanford'e
counsel, who thought the state of public
opinion in the county prejudicial to theIr
clients interests, a change of venue was
secured aud the second trial was held in
the Franklin county court In Farming
ton In May, 1904 The jury after less
than an hours elaboration. returned a
verdict of guilty Counsel for Sanford
however, appealed to the full bench OF
the Supreme court and the verdict was
set aside and new trial ordered. The
third trial was held in the Androscoggin
county court at Auburn in September
1905, and again resulted in a disagree
ment of the jury. Al the clearing up OF
the docket of the term of court just
closed in Auburn. County Attorney,
Ralph w. Crockett, who conducted the
case against sanford for the State in
the third trial was advised by Judge
Wiswell the presiding justice and by
other justices who were consulted that
in view of the expense that would be
incurred and the difficulty that the
State has met with in getting evidence
in previous trials, ii would be we'll to

done in case of the manslaughter charge
and in that of the cruelty charges also.

Cut Baby's Throat.

Coroner c. NJ. Drew of Guilford, WAS
called to Parkman last week to nvesti
gate case of infanticide at the request
of the selectmen of that town, a mutt
lated body of newly born infant having
been found in the apartments over the
general store of S. A. Buzzell, occupied
by Nellie Croker, unmarried, % years
old, who lived with her father
DR. r II. Marsh and DR.. w. NJ. Cowie,
both of Guilford, performed an autopsy
and decided that the infants death was
caused by the severing of the jugular
vein by some instrument
Miss Croker made full confession to
the effect that soon after the birth of
the child she had cnt it's throat with a
pair of shears and intended to dispose
of the body at favorable opportunity.
The affair has caused a profound SEN
sation around Guilford, as Miss Croker
had previously borne good reputation.
Her father and mother separated some
time ago, and she kept house for her
father.
