CITY GOVERNMENT.

A special meeting of the municipal officers
was held last Monday evening to act upon the
petition OF the Coe- Mortimer Company of
New York asking permission to build dolphins
above and below the lower bridge and a plank
walk to connect the wharf and bridge, said
dolphins to be located IS feet from said wharf:
also for permission to build trestle from
said wharf to the company's buildings, to pass
over the tracks of the Belfast & Moosehead
Lake K. H. Co. SO as to give clearance of %
feet, subject to the consent of the R. R. Co
and its lessee, the Maine Central R. R. Co.:
also to erect hoisting tower on said wharf of
such height and dimensions as the business of
the company may require. The petition was
granted.
T. d. II. Carter appeared before the Board
asking chat the street commissioner be made
to put the drain near his premises in the con-
dition that it was previous to its being opened
up" Elijah S. Shuman appeared with like
plea. Voted that the matter be referred to
the committee on Highways and that all par
ties interested appear at the next regular
| meeting and be heard regarding the matter.
An inquest was held on the fire on the Sides
place at Citypoint, August 21st, and the fol-
lowing witnesses testified: Frank M, Bailey,
Fred Holmes, Ralgh H. Mosher, Charles G.
Havener, Percy Peavey, Will Whitcomp, Chas
Carter and Mrs. Helen Emmons. The SUBJ
stance of the testimony was that there had
been controversy over the property, and that
! Charles H. Thurston had refused to turn over
the keys of the house and the papers he had
removed to Charles G. Havener, the executor
| named in the will, and was ordered to do so by
| the probate court and that he had made threats
| that the buildings would go up in ashes, and if
! the goods in the barn were not removed, that
they would be cared for in another way. In
view of these and other facts it was voted
that the fire was of incendiary origin and the
city clerk was instructed to obtain warrant
! for the arrest of Thurston.
In accordance with his instructions the CITY
clerk applied to Judge Rogers of the police
court for warrant, but the Judge refused to
issue the warrant on the ground of insufficient
| evidence.

Monday the engineers came up from Rock
land and surveyed the proposed new route and
pronounced it impracticable, as it would call
for fill of at least 40 feet to get suitable
grade This brings the question of land dam
ages over the original route again to the front,
and unless they can be satisfactorily adjusted
may lead to the giving up of the project. Of
course this road will be built some day; but
many had hoped that it would be running next
season and will be sadly disappointed if the
enterprise is abandoned at this stage.

OBITUARY.

Ruth Mildred Marden, the only child of Ed
ward c. and Emma Pitman Marden Of Swan
vile, Maine, was born at Center Conway, N.
H., August 19, 1881, at the home Of her mater
nal grandmother, where she passed into the
great beyond with the dawning Of her eigh-
teenth birthday, Thursday, August 10, 1909.
The years of her early childhood and school
life were spent in our village. Born with a
sweet disposition, the development of the
bright, CHEEKY life, with the happy smile, won
her friends everywhere and she was a general
favorite. Her youth and the budding into
young womanhood were spent in Swanville,
Maine, where her parents have beautiful
home on the shore of Swan Lake. She attend
ed the Monroe High school, but left in Septem-
ber 1908, and entered Kent's Hill Seminary.
At the Christmas vacation she had an illness
from which she was unable to rally. In Feb
ruary, Ruths many friends were made sad
when the news came over the wires that
Ruth was very ill., In March, having gained
a little, she was brought back to her birth
place, and we all hoped, and fervently prayed,
that as she could take in the beauty of the
laden air of our beautiful Saco valley, that
disease might be stayed and she might again
go in and out among us with health restored.
Loving hands and kind hearts ministered to
every want, and she always expressed much
pleasure and appreciated fully the many kind
nesses shown her by her friends here and in
Maine. One evening she laughingly said to
1.o~ HOO .l,1sa LoJ L.
for her supper. "It seems as though all l have
to do is to think what would like when in some
way that thought is conveyed to some friend,
and 10! what desire is brought to me-" Not
withstanding the brave and heroic struggle,
skilful medical attendance and loving minis
trations, we could see that the bud was grad
ually fading.
God has called her home,
He thought it best
The deepest sympathy goes out to the father
and mother as they return to their home with
sad and bleeding hearts, feeling that the life
and sunshine has gone from them. We COM
mend them to Him, for whom the Lord loveth
He chasteneth." May the benediction of this
sweet, pure life fall upon us all, and may we
feel that the world has been benefited, and
the lives of her many friends made better be-
cause she hath lived among us. The obsequies
were holden in the village church on Sunday
afternoon, August 22nd. Rev. H. A. Peare
spoke words of comfort from the thought "we
have here no abiding city," A quartette rem
dered the selections Were gathering home
ward" and "Some sweet day by and by" The
ho0y reposed in beautiful oo11cb casket sur
rounded by a profuson of sweet flowers that
in their silence and beauty spoke the sympathy
of friends. And thus, at the close of the beau
tiful Sabbath day, we laid the mortal remains
of dear Ruth at rest under the blue sky amid
the sunshine and the flowers, assured that
She is not dead,
The child of our affection,
But gone unto that school
Where God, himself, doth rule.
