special meeting of the board of munich
pal officers was called for October 11th to re-
consider the vote passed at the regular meet
ing October 4th, instructing the street COM
missioner to recover the drain on Waldoavenue
in front of E. S. Shuman and P. D. H. Carter's
residences The members present were Alder

tloh TO reconsider was lost by tie vote, the

instance to cast the deciding vote.
Another special meeting of the municipal
officers, called by the mayor, was held Tuesday
evening,with full board present. Alderman
Dlckey was called to the chair and the mayor
TOOK the floor and read typewriter state
ment which took him 35 minutes and was
largely devoted to a personal attack on Alder
man Morse. Mr.. Morse, in replying briefly,
offered to submit his record in comparison with
that OF the mayors, and said that the only
trouble in the board had been over the orders
to increase the number of cemetery trustees
to buy horses for the city land in this matter of
drain, and in each case he had voted with
the majority and the mayor had attempted to
overrule the majority.
The following order was passed by vote of
3 to 2-Aldermen Morse and Woods voting in
the negative.
Ordered, That the Street Commissioner be
instructed to cause the ditch on Waldo avenue
running past the land of P. D. H. Carter and
the land of Elijah S. Shuman to remain open
and unobstructed save where necessary cul-
verts or crossings are or may be placed.
The following order was also passed.
Ordered, That the vote of October 4, 1909.
that the drain on Waldo Avenue near the resi-
dences of E. S. Shuman and P. D. H, Carter
be made large enough to carry the flow of
water and recovered the entire length, be and
hereby is rescinded.

OBITUARY..

Passed to the higher life, Sept 10, 1909, at
Winterport, George w. Richie, in the 72nd
year Of his age. In the passing away of this
life, the State, county, town and neighborhood,
all of which have received faithful service
from him,-unite in expressions of sorrow. In
the Legislative halls, in the affairs of the
county and the town officially confded to him,
he was always to be relied upon. His clear
head, good judgement and ready wit made him
always welcome in whatever Office he was
placed. When the dark hours of rebellion
menaced the liberty of the States, he answered
the call for volunteers and during actual SER
vice received wounds which were reminders of
his loyalty the remainder of his life His love
for his comrades with whom he marched to
battle strengthened each succeeding year, and
their appreciation of his friendship was plain
ly shown in their loyalty to him always and
especially at the last. in the bringing of flags
and flowers as last tokens of love and respect
and their presence at this sad time was COM
fort to the bereaved family. But to know him
best was to know him in his home. His SUNNY
disposition, his cheerfulness,< his hospitality
are pleasant memories never to be effaced He
is survived by widow and one daughter, Mrs
S. c. Thompson of Washington, D. C. The
funeral services were held at his late residence
on Thursday, September 23rd, conducted by
Rev A. ]. Lockhart of Winterport. The Grand
Army services were held at the grave The
floral tributes were many and beautiful, con-
sisting of pillow of roses and carnations with
the word Husband in immortelles; harm of
roses and sweet peas with the word s'Father:"
wreath of ivy and cream roses; others of
carnations and geraniums; basket of roses and
plnks; pillow of hydrangeas; a large spray of
roses and bunch of beautiful asters from the
different orders of which the deceased was
member; besides profuson of cut flowers
from friends, showing the high esteem in
which he was held. Flags were furnished for
draping the casket by Percival Smith and Fred
L. Palmer, G. A. R. comrades The morning
mail brought beautiful large silk flag from
loved comrade, Fred L. Burnham of Green
field, Mass, with the request that the portrait
of his dear comrade should be draped with the
same, as he knew the love of the Stars and
Stripes which his comrade always bore. The
funeral services were in charge of Frank W.
Haley of Winterport.
The Master called him quickly,
We could not keep him here,
The home SO bright and sunny,
Seems now so dark and drear
Another dear one has passed on
Not lost, but gone before
One more to meet, one less to leave
NOW waiting on the shore.
