ing, Dec. 2, probably at Hancock hall. He

struction by wasteful cutting. This lee

The firemen were called out last Thurs
day noon BY q chimney fire at Mrs. Sarah
Partridge's house on Main street. Sparks
from the chimney set fire to the roof, but
a dash OF water put an end to the blaze.
No damage. The fremen were again
called out Friday evening by burning
chimney at the Emery house, at Main and
School streets, occupied BY Capt. 8. 0.
Moore this winter, but their services were
nct4eeded. No damage.
Construction work on the power trans
mission line from Ellsworth to veazie,
which has been under way at the Bangor
end for some time, has been suspended
until spring. The way has been prepared
for the line as far as Holden. The line
couldn't be put through in time to make
it's power available this winter. and from
now on the building would be more
expensive. The hours OF work would be
shortened great deal by darkness, and
the work would be slow on account Of the
frozen ground. When the frost has gone
out Of the ground next spring, the line
will be rushed through to completion.
The suspension Of construction work at
the Bangor end will in no way affect the
preliminary work OF surveys and obtain
ing rights of way at this end Of the line.

A change has gone into effect at the

The trustees in announcing the change,
say: Heretofore it has been thought
best to make and enforce the usual rule
excluding the public from the alcoves and
shelves OF the Ellsworth city library as
necessary for the prevention of disar-
rangement and loss of books. The trus-
tees have now decided to make the expert
ment OF admitting the public to the
alcoves and shelves in the daytime OF each
library day. This permission is upon con-
dition that every person availing himself
OF it shall carefully put back on the
proper shelf, and in the proper place on
the shelf, each volume taken down, and
shall not take any volume from the library
without having it entered on the libra
rian's books. Failure to observe these
conditions will necessitate the re-estab-
lishment OF the usual rule OF exclusion.
Should the new rule work well, it may be
extended to evenings as we'll"
