Boothbay Men Load 1907 Tons of leo

BoOthbay. Me, July 5.-(SpeciaD.-

ice shipping season throughout Maine.
On the Kcnncbcc there were several
gangs of men and considerable feeling
of opposition among them, as to which

was the most expert gang on the river.
Later years, the Pcnob scot men made
several attempts tn load large vessels
in a day. but the kennebec men seem
ed to Out-do them all.
On July ,, the schooner Mary f.
Morse arrived at the Boothbay ice

an old kcnncbCc river ice man and
knowing this vessel was very desirable,
having Il single deck and with ca
pacity Of over 1000 tons, and that sew
cral attempts had been made to load
her in Il day on the Kcnnebcc, took in
the situation AMI said to his men,
Boys, you better so home and we will
load her tomorrow" No doubt, Mr.
CoSs would have liked to have seen n-r
when he was a little better situated
than he was that day. However, the
gear Was put on board at a. NJ. July

1907 tons loaded during the day. I'm

YOUNG MAN browns AT WOODLAND MILLS
Seymour SpaIding, Of Broohield, Loses His
Life While Attempting a aFooIhardy Feat

Seymour Spalding, aged 18, tn
youngest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas
Spalding, of Brookfeld, and {
member of a camping party from
Brookfield, was drown at the foot
of the Woodland Mills dam on Lo-
Gust creek last Wednesday after
noon. Spalding, who was consid-
cred an expert swimmer and all
round athlete, had, with several of
his companions, swan the stream
several times between the dam and
bridge without much difficulty, al
though it was nearly half bank full
and quite angry.
Spalding, who seemed to have
less fear and more courage than his
companions, announced that he
would swim to midstream and then
60 up over the dam. Disregarding
the warnings of those who knew
the danger of the undertaking, he
started from the west bank and
swan some twenty or thirty feet,
when he attempted to go over the
dam. Finding this impossible, he
started on across, but when about
mid-stream he struck a terrific eddy
against which he was able to fight
but moment when, throwing up
his hands, he went down. He ap-
peared on the surface and again
went down. Coming up again, the
body shot upward until it seemed
as if he were standing ON the sur
face, only to go down for the third
and last time.
Those on the banks knew that to
go in and attempt to rescue him
meant certain death, and they could
do nothing. 'sasF
The news of the drowning spread
rapidly and hundreds have visited
the scene of the accident and eager
ly watch for the body to come to
the surface. All Wednesday heavy
charges of dynamite were exploded
in the water with hopes of raising
the body, but up to the time THE
BLADE goes to press Friday after
noon the turbulent waters had fail
ed to give up their dead"

The Ray county circuit court has

council has the right to build side
walk in front of a citizens proper
ty at the expense of the property
owner. The council had ordered
the walk built and the owner refus-

fed, and the citizen filed an injunc-

town and went further by ordering
the citizen to put in the walk, and
to begin work on it in thirty days.

expense of honesty; and though
we may not be rich, yet we must
seem to be respectable" though
only in the meanest sense-in mere
vulgar show. We have not the
courage to go patiently onward in
the condition of life in which it has
pleased God to call us; but must

which we ridiculously please to call
ourselves, and all to crafty the
vanity of that unsubstantial, gen
teel world, of which we form a
part. There is a constant struggle
and pressure for front seats in the
social ampitheatre; in the midst of
which all noble, self-denying re-
solve is trodden down, and many
fine natures are inevitably crushed
to death. What waste, what mis-
cry, what bankruptcy, come from
all this ambition to dazzle others
with a glare of apparent worldly
success, we need not describe. The
mischievous results show themsel-
YES in thousand ways-in the
rank frauds committed by men who
dare to be dishonest, but do not
care to seem poor; and in the des-
perate dashes at fortune, in which
the pity is not so much for those
who fail as for the hundreds of in
nocent families who are so often in
volved in their ruin.

not merely for the church and the
