Gardiner Railway at Gardiner. from
Depot square to the wharf of the Ken
neboc division of the. Eastern Steam
ship Co. in that city. is built by the
coming spring. that the transfer
steamer City of Augusta. which is now
being run between this city and the
down river ports. will be placed on the
Bath and Boothbay route of the above
company. to assist in doing the sum-
mer work on that route. and that after
the steamer completes her seasons
work. which will occur today. she will
be given a trial for awhile on the last
named route to see if she can do the
work. The steamer is roomy enough
to carry large number of passengers
and could easily take care of the
freight between Bath and Roothbav,

A balky horse is no uncommon sight,
but when it comes to a balky steam
roller that is something of rarity.
Such thing was seen on Bridge street
hill, however, early Friday afternoon,
when tho city roller went up the hill on
its way to winter quarters. Ordi-
narily the roller will go up about any
incline in the city. and it would climb
the hill all right yesterday afternoon,
as the spikes were inserted in the driv-
ing Wheels, but the slippery surface of
the Hill with it's coating of ice and
snow was more than the front roller
could master, and it slipped around in
way that made the machine harder to
steer than the old steamer Della Col
Inns ever was in her widest moods
The roller went from side to side and
in any direction except that which was
desired. and it was finally found ncccs-
Sary to attach several pairs of horses
to the machine before it could be made
to keep the road.

Yankton, s. D., Dec. 22.-At star
chamber session of court tonight Mrs,
James G. Blaine, Jr., was granted a
divorce from the scion of the distin-
gulshed Maine family, whose escapades
have so far sent two wives to the Da-
kota courts for release from him. The
case was rushed to permit Mrs. Blaine
to catch train for Washington. D. c..
to spend Christmas with her parents,
Rear Admiral and Mrs. Philip Hitch.
born.
Perhaps no other case of wide inter
lest has been railroads.&c. with
greater speed in the divorce courts of
this state than this Blaine action. Two
weeks more than six months ago the
pretty and witty Mrs. Blaine, known
and admired in national capital society
as the "Heliotrope Belief because Of
her affecting that color, started west
with the avowed purpose Of eettinp a
divorce. The six months residence was
scarcely up when the case was called,
being brought here for privacy.
Wed Him to Reform Hin. j.
At the trial she repeatedly recounted
numerous scandalous incidents in which
her husband had been involved. She
admitted she had expected to reform
him when she married him, but had
failed. She. had no. time for tears. the
train was waiting. She talked fast. Her
husbands counsel made an appearance,
but offered no opposition to the grant
ing of the decree. *. .,- 49, 49,
Judge Smith wrote the entry rapidly
and carriage whirled them to the sta
ton. She married Blaine July 4. 1901.
She was preceded just nine, years in
the, Dakota divorce courts by Marie
Nevins Blaine, formerly an actress,
now the wife Of DR.. W. T. Bull Of
New York. .~s. e.. - .-:s,sr
The second Mrs. Blaine has been liv-
ing elegantly but unostentatiously at,
