SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The coal barge Henry EndicOtt, built
for the Cambridge Gas Light Co. at a
cost of $4,000, was launched Thurs
day at Bath. She was christened by
Daniel G. Tyler of Cambridge, Mass,
director of the company. The barge
is rated AL for Ia years. and has a
carrying capacity of 1900 tons She is
1906 feet long; and has gross ton
mage of S66.
Some time during Wednesday night.
burglars entered the store of Gonya
Brothers at Rumford, and got a fairly
good haul. The loot included $25, the
contents of the cash drawer. two
watches. valued at SIS each, two or
three hats. five pairs of shoes and sew
eral pairs of trousers. Entrance was
made by breaking out the glass from
a back door opening on River street.
Detectives are working on the case.
News was received Thursday by
friends of the late Newell M. Perkins,
formerly of Auburn and known espe-
cially in our cities for his connection
with Glovers Band. For over 20
years Mr.. Perkins had resided in Boise,
Idaho. where his wife. nee Jennie Fos-
ter of Canton, and two children sur
vive him. SO far as we have been able
to ascertain, there are only two near
relatives of the late band conductor in
the East. brother, Col. Enoch Per-
kins of Melrose, Mass, and sister.
Miss Sarah Perkins of Philadelphia.
No particulars have been received as
to the death ofsMr. Perkins, but it is
thought he must have died suddenly
as none of his friends in Lewiston and
Auburn, knew of his illness. 1t is
thought probable that Mr. Perkins re-
mains may be brought to Maine for
decentralization Journal

will be resOrted to after December

those in seventy-twO seventy-eights or

The question has been asked wheth-

ties. and a careful examination of the
