Miss Mary X. Carsley of Pennington. |
daughter of John w. Carsley, formerly |
of south Paris, died on the 18th, at the
age of 25 years. Miss Carsley was a
native of Paris, but most of her life was /.
spent in Pennington, where she gradu- !
ated from the high school and the normal /.
school. She had fine soprano voice,
and was engaged in the study of music
until her health failed. She was an oc-
casional visitor to friends at South Paris.
Death was due to consumption.
Scion Briggs died Wednesday morning
at the home of Montell Turner, where
he has been cared for during the past
few years. Mr.. Briggs was soldier in
the civil war, and had drawn pension
for some years. He was rs years of age,
and had been quite infrm for some
years. He was the son of Alanson
Briggs, and the youngest son In one OF
the old and we'll known Paris families.
He was never married. the funeral was
held Friday forenoon at the Congrega-
tional vestry, and a delegation of civil
war veterans attended in body.
1t would be superfluous to remark
that last Thursday morning was the
coolest ever here, as il evidently was In
al, the rest of Maine at least. Their
mometers ranged from somewhere in the
twenties in the warmest parts OF the viii
lage, to a minimum of SO in one place on
the east side of the river. At the house
of G.. K. Ripley, across the Park Street
bridge, il was SO below, which is about
what the river level generally showed.
No one has yet been found who will
admit that he has ever seen colder
morning here Wednesday and Thurs
day were two terrible days.
A hearing on the bill Incorporating
the Maine Water Power Co., which will
use the Little AndroScoggin power in
this village, is to be held at the state
house at Augusta Wednesday afternoon
of this week at 2 o'clock. As the bill
was first reported in the papers, it was
thought that there might be features in
it which would be Objectionable, but an
examination of full copy of the bill
shows that only two or three slight
verbal changes are necessary. The atten-
ton of those interested in the bill has
been called to these changes, and they
will probably be made without objection.
A big lot of ice has gone in from the
field of A. W. Walker & Son during the
past week. They have filled their house
at Walkerville, and the Bennett house
on Oxford Street, and are now filling the
house at the Park Street bridge. They
also have large lots to put in for the
Oxford County Creamery and for Z. A.
Shurteff & Co., besides what they sup
ply to the farmers and others. Fifteen
pairs Of horses and between thirty and
forty men were at work for the week,
and il will take two or three days more
TO finish up. The ice is nice stun, and
the last of il which was cut had thicken-
ed up to eighteen inches or more.
The bill presented in the legislature
last week changing the terms OF court for
Oxford County does not meet the APP
proyal of the attorneys or others in this
section Of the county. It was the gen.
eral understanding when the matter was
discussed at the last term of court, that
third term of court should be favored,
to be held at Rumford Falls in May. and
the attorneys signed petition with that
result in view. The bill now presented
puts in the extra term in May at South
Paris, and puts the February term,
which will be about the most important
term of the year, at Rumford Falls. OPP
position to the change as made by the
bill will be in evidence from this section.
The annual meeting of the Paris Pub
lie Library Association was held Satur-
