The WALDO COUNTY HOSPITAL. At a
meeting of the directors of the Waldo Coun-
ty Hospital, held Oct 23rd, the resignation
of Miss Christine Hall, superintendent
nurse, was read and accepted, and Messrs
W. B. Swan, T. B. Dinsmore and Arthur
Richie were appointed a committee to draw
up resolutions expressing the high esteem
in which Miss Hall is held by the associa-
ton. The committee reported as follows:
Whereas, Miss Christine Hall, who has
served as superintendent nurse of the Waldo
County General Hospital since its Inaugural
ton, has felt obliged to sever her connection
with it; now, therefore, it is the sense of
the board of directors of said hospital that
they express their appreciation of the eff
hcent and faithful services, and intelligent
counsel rendered by Miss Hall and the I'M
firing energy with which she has worked
for the interest of the hospital, and that the
best wishes of all who have been connected
with the hospital attend her in her new
position.
1t was voted that copy of these resolu-
tions be placed on the records and a copy
sent to Miss Hall. Miss Davis of Appleton,
a graduate of the Poiytechnical school for
nurses, New York, will succeed Miss Hall
in about ten days. She is now at the school,
and is very highly recommended for the po-
sition.
SHIPPING ITEMS. There is no prospect
at present of any shipbuilding at this port
but at Rockland two schooners are to be
built Cobb, Butler Il Co. will begin work
on the frame for another four-master about
the last of January, and l. l.. Snow s. Co,
are having frame cut in Nova Scotia for
schooner of about 500 tons capacity. E. A.
Wentworth OF Rockport has gone to Vir-
gina to get out frame for a six-masted
schooner for VIM. B. Palmer of Boston.
1t is not yet decided where the schooner
will be built. Sch. Ella NJ. Storer arrived
at this port last Friday from New York
with coal for the Belfast Fuel & Hay Co...
Sch. Cen Adelbert Ames has chartered to
load paving at Sedgwick for New York, at
81 per ton...Two small schooners loaded
lumber at Citypoint the past week for c. E.
Bicknell, Rockland.. Capt. Sellers of
Brooksville, who has been in command of
sch. Flora Condor for some years and who
recently bought controlling interest, has
sold the schooner and will turn her over to
her new owner on her arrival at Cas-
tine from New York with coal for the
Devereaux Coal Co... The big steel ship
Arthur Sewell, owned by Arthur Sewall &
Co. of Bath, sailed from Delaware Break
water for Seattle, Wash, on the third day
of last April and has not been heard from
since. She is 2ll days out today on pas
sage which has been made in less than half
that time and much anxiety is naturally
felt.... Barge No. 4, one of the large fleet of
the Rockland & Rockport lime company's
iron barges, has arrived at pier No. 2, Cape
Jellison docks and will be loaded with
Aroostook potatoes for New York. She
will take about 1000 barrels. The expert
ment of shipping potatoes to New York in
barges, tried last year, is pronounced to be
the easiest and most economical way of
shipping them to market, being Quicker
and more certain than by sailing vessels
and cheaper than by steamers. ....Sch. Hat
