Lakewood Notes.

Next Sunday, June 28th., the
Spiritual Ladies' Aid Society of the
Madison Camp Meeting Association
will hold an all day meeting at Lake
wood with Mrs. May s. Vanderbilt of
Brooklyn, n. Y. as S. eaker and
Psychic. Forenoon session at 10 80 and
afternoon session at 2.30. There will
be half hour car service on the Som
erset Traction road.
The combined Sunday schools of
Skowhegan will hold picnic at
Lakewood Friday and will leave
A program of athletic sports has been
arranged at Lakewood.
The new Lakewood Stock Co. has
been very favorably received and the
attendance each evening has been
large. The play "Thelma" which is
being produced this week has been
especially pleasing since the talent OF
the various members of the company
is seen to good advantage, and the
scenic and lighting effects are finer
than anything that has been at
tempted at Lakewood. A new spot
light for the stage is of great as
sistance in obtaining good results.
The laughable farce comedy "Char-
lies Aunt" will be the attraction at
Lakewood Theatre for next week
with a performance each evening and
ON Saturday afternoon. This is un
derstood to be one of the best bills of
the season with much new and
attractive scenery. The theatre sea-
son will be short this year since the
members of the Lakewood Stock Co.
must leave on August 18th to rehearse
for their winter engagement at the
College Theatre at Chicago.

Startling Accident to a Show
hogan Auto Party.

This mornings Kennebec Journal
contains the following
What would almost seem to be a
miraculous escape from serious in
jury happened late yesterday after
noon when an automobile owned by
Z. p. Viles of Skowhegan was struck
by an electric car near the brick yard
between this city and Fairfield and
was badly damaged. The car, which
was Stanley steamer, was complete
ly turned over, but fortunately none
OF the occupants were injured.
The accident happened about 6:35
O'Clock in the afternoon, the machine
being hit by the $50 car out of
Fairfield in charge of Conductor Fred
Sleeves and Motorman Joshua Emery.
The automobile with party of five
from Skowhegan, driven by Frank
Parsons, had been in the vicinity OF
Lombard's manufacturing plant on a
private road which is used to carry
wood from the cars to the brick yard.
There are large piles of cord wood on
one side which practically shuts out
the view of the track from any one
coming up that road.
The party having finished their
business in that vicinity, started out
and one half of the machine was
across the track when the Chauffeur
glanced out and saw the electric upon
them. He shut off the power and it is
understood that dress suit case in
the front part of the machine pre-
vented the working of the reverse
lever, so that the car started back
ka 81 L.
mentum. The motorman did all in
his power to stop the heavy electric,
but the accident was unpreventable
and the automobile was hit with such
force that it was completely turned
over.
The electric was quickly brought to
a standstill and all aboard rushed back
to assist the occupants who were
crawling from beneath the wrecked
car. None were found to be injured.
The car was damaged considerably.
The forward wheels were both torn
from their positions and the steering
apparatus as well as the boiler was
damaged.
This crossing is one of the worst on
the road and the car men always take
special pains to ascertain that no
team is about to cross when teams are
working in that vicinity transporting
wood. The speed of the electric about
this point is about normal, as they
usually slow down before going over
the tracks into the brick yard. The
opinion of all on board the electric is
that the motorman did we'll in slowing
down the car as be did. There are
no air brakes and they are controlled
by the hand brake. The car is No. IL,
one of the largest and going at the
usual speed along this stretch it
would naturally 60 some distance
before it could be brought to
standstill
When it was found that none of the
occupants were injured the car pro.
ceeded to this city. The damaged
machine was 'jackedo up and taken
to the Lombard shop.
Those in the automobile were E. 2,
Viles, w. G. Burpee, B. S. Viles.

The Fairbrother Stable Sold.

The livery business on Water street,
so long conducted by Charles Fair
brother has been purchased by Bert
A. McCoombs. This change is a
notable one from the fact that there
are very few businesses, if any, in
this place, that have been carried on
by the same man, in the same To-
cation, without partnerships or other
changes, for so many years.
Mr.. Fairbrother, who now retires,
went to Massachusetts when a young
man, and worked for John A. Thayer,
a well known liveryman of Hopkin-
ton. Following this he went TO
Worcester and for three years was
superintendent of the Worcester
street railway, then, in common with
all city transportation systems,
operated by horses. He then bought
the Exchange Stables ON Market
street in Worcester, this being his
first venture on his own account
After about six years he sold out in
Worcester and came to Skowhegan,
buying out Charles Hill who was in
business at the time at the location
on Water street where Mr.. Fair
brother was to continue for thirty
seven years. AT the time of the
Heselton House fire, May %, 1881,
Mr.. Fairbrother's stable was burned
but new one was erected as soon as
possible and this interruption, which
was very brief, was the only one in
the thirty seven years. business.
Mr.. McCoombs who succeeds Mr..
Fairbrother is native of Fairfield.
He has ALWAYS had fancy for horses
and in his home town had charge of
the Morrill, stables for quite a portion
of year during the illness of the
proprietor. Since coming to this
place, six years ago, he has been
constantly employed AS a trainer and
driver and has become very expert in
all things pertaining to the horse
kind. Mr.. McCoombs has won his
way to popularity among the people
he has met during his six years
residence here and enters upon his
new venture with excellent pros
poets of success.

CHESTNUT
CROP In SIGHT
Big Clusters Of BurrS Tempt
City Boys COunEyward
These Days

Chestnuts, those hard shelled dys-
peptics that tempt country boys TO
bag school in the fall. promise to be
very plentiful this year. Early in the
summer there was an abundance Of
blossoms. and now the burrs are be-
ginning to become visible on the trees
in great clusters. A Few more weeks
and Jack Frost wsil come along
some morning, touch them with his
icy fingers and they VIII burst open,
to the joy Of the country boys.
Huting chestnuts seeir5 TO have more
fascination for the youth than goiGg
after other nuts. such as shellbarks.
hickory nuts. walnuts. etc. Tho fist
requisite Of the chestnut hunter. If he
wants to get ahead OF the other boys.
is a chestnut club. Now a chestnut
club is a stout stick about fifteen inches
long, on the end Of which has been
screwed large nut taken from bolt.
and it is a great invention. Tho nut
is placed on the end 20 make it heavy
so that it can be easilv thrown. ana
so that when it drops to the ground
the club win fall straight, heavy end
down, which makes It next TO int.
possible to become lodged in tho
branches when it has been thrown up
a tree. A chestnut club is not a neces-
sity except when a boy wants to get
ahead Of his fellows and goes after
the nuts before Jack Frost has thor
oughly done his work Of opening the
burrs. This usually occurs when there
is a small crop and one set Of boys
thinks somebody else win get all tks
nuts If they do not go early.
After all their hard work the boys
are usually rewarded with about a
pocketful Of green, white. shelled chest
nuts apiece. OF course. they most ell
joy the fruits Of the labors. and they
begin to eat the nuts Soon they arc
all gone and the story closes until next
morning.
However. there are Joys OF chestnut
hunting time. too. When the crop is
ripe large bushels are sometimes gath
cred and stored away. With hand
full of salt sprinkled among them they
keep for months or years, getting hard
er and more indigestihle. of course. as
time rolls.
