ELECTRIC ROAD PROJECT.
Bar Harbor Plan Looks Like Scheme
to Hold Up the Road.


to Hold Up the Road.
The Ellsworth Bar Harbor electric road
number OF permanent residents Of Bar
Harbor, associated with several of sum
mer residents, appeared, through their
counsels, L. B. Deasy and E. s. Clark, be-
fore the board of railroad commissioners
at Augusta Tuesday forenoon and fled
articles Of association and an application
for charter for trolley road between
Ellsworth and Bar Harbor.
After brief hearing the commissioners
decided unanimously to approve the arti-
cles of association, and fifteen minutes
later a certificate of incorporation was
granted by the secretary Of State.
The charter is for constructing, main
tanning and operating by electricity, COM
pressed air or animal power street rail-
way for public use for street traffic for the
conveyance of persons and property from
Ellsworth to Mt. Desert island, with
branches to Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor
and Southwest Harbor.
Desert Transit Co. The incorporators
AIMED are Clement B. Newbold, Of Penn
sylvania, John s. Kennedy of New York,
George B. Dorr, Fred G. Lyman and Rob-
ert Amory, of Bar Harbor.
On the face Of it, this looks like bona
fde railroad project, but down around
Bar Harbor it is quite evident that the
plan is looked at differently. The names
of some of the men mentioned have been
prominently identified with the fight
against automobiles and they are known
to be opposed to electric roads on the
island. Bar Harbor people who favor an
electric road say it is plan, not to build,
but to prevent the building of road.
Ellsworth promoters of the electric road
project over the same route, will go right
along with their plans, and seek charter
from the legislature.

Heart Returns to First Love of
40 Years Ago and They Are
Happily Reunited.

Hodgenville passengers the IL
linois Central train out of Louisville
Tuesday afternoon were witnesses to
the closing chapter in a pretty romance
in which figured several people. The
principles to this interesting sequel
have been separated for twenty-five
years, with the ocean between them
one residing in London England,
and the other a resident of Leitchfield
Grayson county. This story in real
life eclipses many of the romances in
books of fiction and as told by the
principles, is as follows:
George Fletcher, an Englishman by
birth and apparently highly cultur-
ed young man, located in Leitchfield,
twenty-five years ago. He was a
master carpenter and cabinet maker
and was possessed of fine appearance
and elegant manners. He soon won
his way into the best homes of Leitch-
field and subsequently married into
a prominent family. To the union
were born six children. The chill
dren grew to young manhood and
young womanhood and the family was
happy one until sickness invaded
the home and one by one the chill
dren were taken from their parents.
Heart broken, the wife died last year,
and apparently the husband and faith
er was robbed of all kindred ties.
But it soon developed that before
Fletcher came to this country he was
the happy husband and father of a
young wife and three children. A
trivial quarrel in the family resulted
in his severing the ties Of love and
sailing for America. In course of
time his first wife obtained divorce
and he and she never heard of each
other again until recently his heart
returning to his first love, Fletcher
wrote letter to his wife asking her
and the children, if they were alive,
to leave their home in London and
come to America. True to her only
love,th first Mrs. Fletcher,w with her
three sons, all grown men with wives,
came to America and arrived in Lou
isville Tuesday where they were met
by Fletcher. The vowing again Of his
love for his first wife and the intro
