The new drinking fountain, donated
to the city of Waterville, by the Ma
tional Humane Alliance of New York,
has arrived and will be set up imme
diately. The city owes this gift to the
unflagging interest of Mayor Bunker.
Early last spring he heard in round
about way of the manufacture of these
fountains by the Bodwen Granite Co,
of Vinalhaven. He Immediately took
up the matter and, through them, OBJ
tanned the name of the society for
whom they were made. Correspon-
dence with the National Humane
Alliance disclosed the fact that the
size of the city was a great objection.
Portland is the only city in ;this state
that had previously secured one. The
mayor persisted Pin the matter and
finally in the latter part of last Octo
Der, persuaded Secretary Lewis M.
Seaver of the Alliance to visit this
city. Immediately after the return of
Mr.. Seaver to New York, DR.. Bunker
was notified that his request for the
fountain would be granted.

Boiler Explosion at Brunswick.

Two men were killed and three
Others injured, one of them seriously
if not fatally, In boiler explosion,
which wrecked the Maine Central
railroad station here at midnight, Sat :
urday. The dead are William B.
Woodland, night yardmaster and
Walter Harris, car inspector, and
Edward Farrier has his right thigh
crushed, while it is feared tba at he has
sustained internal injuries. He was
taken to the Sisters hospital in Lew
iston on the train for that city which
was standing near the station when
the explosion took place. Alonzo
Totman, an express agent, was also
injured, but his condition is not Sc
rious and Fred Sylvester, another ex
press agent, had his legs cut and was
badly bruised. Mr.. and Mrs. G. J.
Bailey of Portland. who were on their
way to Bangor, had a narrow escape
being considerably shaken up. The
boiler which exploded was one of
two in the basement used for heating
and it was reduced to small frag-
ments. Woodland, whose duty it was
to look after the boilers had just gone
down to fix the fires when the acct
dent occurred and he WAS instantly
killed, being buried under mass of
coal, pieces of steel and other debris.
The waiting room of the station is a
complete wreck and part of the roof
is gone, while the concrete walk in
front is thrown up for some distance.
The express and telegraph offices
were not badly damaged but the Wes-
tern Union wires are badly mixed,
though the railroad wires are all right.
Superintendent Fred G. Sanborn
and Assistant Superintendent Harry
E. Manchester arrived on the express
at O'Clock and at once started an
investigation. 1t was thought that
the explosion was caused by turning
water into a red hot boiler. Up to
Saturday the west boiler had been
used to heat the station, but Woodland
Saturday night built fire under the
east boiler and evidently neglected to
turn on the water. The fire had evil
IDENTITY been burning four hours.
bility for the explosion was been
loouoo "Ouudy ny iaii oao oliciaio.
William B. Woodward, the night
baggage master and custorian of the
station for II years who was killed, is
named as the one at fault. The
statement in part is as follows:
1--WE have investigated the matter
and find that Mr.. Woodward had been
heating the building with the boiler
nearest the wall until Saturday night,
when he thought that on account of
the cold wave it would be well to
start a fire in the second boiler. This
he did, 80 far as we can learn, about
8 O'Clock. This second boiler had
been cut OUT of the hot water heat
ing system up to this time and after
the explosion we found both the out
let and return valves tightly closed,
indicating that he forgot to open
them to allow the water to circulate.
OF course under these conditions the
water standing in the second boiler
was confined and soon became steam.
Having no vent an explosion was in
evitable."
The damage to the building and
heating apparatus is fixed at $4,000.

The law firm of Merrill & Merrill
have recently received a rescript
from the Law Court of New Hamp-
shire, sustaining an appeal taken by
them in the case of Hammell VS. the
Burgess Sulphite Paper Co. setting
aside the verdict of $1,000 against
which they appealed and ordering
judgment for the paper company
whom they have represented at all
stages of the case.
The plaintiff, Arthur Hammell,
claimed to have been seriously injur-
ed while in the employ of the defend
ant company at their works in Berlin,
N. II. He was applying a stilson
wrench to shaft and, through some
misunderstanding of the circum-
stances, applied it to moving shaft
instead of still shaft as was his in
tention. The action was tried at the
December term of the Supreme Court
for Coos county N. III. and the jury
rendered a verdict of $1,000 for the
plaintiff.
An appeal was taken and the de-
fendant's brief was drawn by Edward
F. Merrill, the junior partner of the
firm of Merrill & Merrill. The argu-
ment on the appeal from the verdict
above stated, was made by E. N. Mer-
rlll, the senior member, before the
Supreme Court of New Hampshire, at
Concord last October. The rescript
just received is the answer and final
Judgment of that tribunal and COM
plete victory for the defendant.

The panic into which the public
was thrown by the slump in the
price Of copper and the decline in
the price Of lead seems to be abat-
ing since it is now coming to be
understood that the worst is over
and that neither metal has touched
nor is likely to touch the low level
Of prices that prevailed in 1894 and
that the present market prices are
highly remuncrative and much
higher than anybody hoped for 10
years ago when all Occur d'Alenc
mines were paying big dividends.
The prospects for a general adj
vance in stock quotations are there
for good and brokers are distinctly
hopeful as they seem to be deter
mined to put an end to short
selling which has been proved to be
the greatest detriment to the mar
ket.

name was not Charles E. Hughes. Mr..
Roosevelt al tie eleventh hour called
Herbert Parsons to the telephone and
aid Hughes" and within Is min
utes enough delegations had switch
ed to make it certain that Hughes
would be nominated.
Why? Most of the leaders knew
nothing of Mr.. Hughes. and several
of them knew him only to dislike and
distrust him; but they were federal
officehOlders, and the big stick of fed
eral patronage controlled them as per
fectly as did Boss Plat in his palm

To have federal oficeholders elect

rather crude and obvious, and it is
quite an unnecessary precaution.
