moving at the site of the Coe- Mortimer Co.'S
fertilizer plant River avenue is to be extend
ed across the company's land to the Rankin
property and the houses of C. R. Stevens and
G. o. Frisbee will be moved to new locations
on this extension, the company acquiring the
present lots and paying for moving the build
ing and for the new cellars The buildings
will not be moved until next spring. This deal
will add about half an acre to the company's
property at a point where needed. The COM

owned by Messrs N. F. Houston and Charles
W. Frederick, which increases their frontage
on the line of the railroad 154b feet, and in
cludes the road recently built from Bridge

to leave, and the first to return. There are
three more to arrive. Invitations have been
issued to the launching of the new four mast
ed schooner, Mary L.. Baxter, now in process
of construction at the G. G. Deering yard in

er Northland, will be her commander. The

carrying fleet, is in course of construction at
the shipyard of Percy & Small, Bath, and will
be ready to launch by December LIST. The new

years ago, is progressing slowly but surely
The wreck is in Is feet of water at low tide
and the hull is being moved by means of tide
lifts into shallow water. j. F. Spellman & Sons

been at work on the hull and it is thought il
had large tank or pontoon built here, which
it is proposed to fill with water and put dowr
the main hatch of the wrecked schooner Alice
E. Clark and then pump it out Another pom
toon will be placed under the stern and it il
hoped to raise the vessel sufficiently to worl
her into shoal water where the remainder O.
the cargo of coal can be removed and then tn.
vessel may be raised and found worth repair
