Nothing Doing by Maine Central IN
the Passenger Line.

1t is generally understood that noth-
ing will be done by the Maine central
Railroad this year in the way OF bhild-
ing a new passenger station at the
foot rf Court hill TO take the place OF
the present station, although it is ex-
pected that a new freight shed belo"
Rines hin will be forthcoming.
When the Rines hill cut Was nm
ished last tan it was expected bN
MANY and was understood to have been
the intention OF the Railroad Company
to begin the construction of new sta
ton this year. Plans for the proposed
new building were drawn and deslf-
able property on Water street south
of Court street was purchased by the
Railroad Company, but then an eps'a-
Gle was encountered in the matter OF a
location for the Swift & Co. refriser-
ator.
The present location of the refriSer-
ator is needed for the proposed new
station. and while several sites nave
been looked at. no decision has heen
rendered by the Swift people, and there

AND YET ANOTHER.
Tuesday Almost as Hot as the Hot
test-No Relief in Sight.

Tuesday was the llth day of excess
sive heat which has characterized the
month of July, and came to a close at
night without showing any promise OF
anything better in the way of temper
allure. From morning until sunset the
dav was one of scorching and debill-
tatiug heat of degree that has sell
dom been known in Maine, and even
after sunset the heat did not seem te
diminish but fingered far into the
evening.
The day dawned warm. almost hot
and at o'clock in the morning the
mercury stood at IS degrees, almost as
hat as the average summer day at
nountime At o'clock the mercury
reached s. degrees. enc degree higher
than it was at tile same hour Mon
day. As the day advanced the mercury
rose rapidly. the increase each hour
being greater than il was on the pre-
ecding day. At . o'clock II reached 90
degrees. at IL o'clock % degrees, at IL
o'clock g6 degrees and at noon rs de-
erees. That was the highest reached
for the DAY.
The mercury held at 9S degrees I'M
til after o'clock in the afternoon,
but at O'Clock il had dropped to ID
degrees. Soon after O'Clock shower
raised around to the southeast. ana
VAS followed by a breeze and
marked drop in temperature. the mer-
curry going down to So degrees at 8
o'clock. The relief was only temporary
however. for at o'clock the mercury
had risen to 90 and remained at that
point until after o'clock.
The heat Was keenly felt by outdoor
workers and in several places the men
we're obliged to give up. The crew at
work discharging the schooner Nat
Meadcr worked part of the day and
quit. as also did the carpenters on
the Fuller Holway building. The men
at work matchmaking Water street
finished out the day, but some OF them
felt tie heat severely.

An Important Factor in
New BaltIeShipS,
Naval Designs Will Favor The
Reciprocal Form,
Higher Speed but Much Higher Ex.
pense with Turbines.

Reeldand, Me, July 1.-THE next
battleship of the American navy may
have either turbines or reciprocating
engines, or 4 combination Of both. The
navy departments designs will show
reciproeating engines. This is enc of
the conclusions reached from the les
sons learned during the official accept
ance trials of the battleship Utah, the
navy's biggest ship, the official data
of which has just been completed by
the trial boSrd and submitted to the
navy department.
1t WAS based on deductions from the
trials Which show that the economy at
low speeds was not equal to that III
the reciprocating engines Another de-
duetion was that the water eonsump-
ton pei shaft horsepower Mas low
at l. knots speed, very low at - knots
and higher than expected at full
speed
Tie super Dreadnaught averaged
21042 knots an hour on her 4-haur
run at full speed. on which her con-
tract requirement was bat 2o-I5 knots.
en- that run horsepower OF 21a1i was
developed, burning coal only. In the
2-huur triad when both oil and coal
were consumed the result was practi-
ca,ly The same. the speed being -l.ei
knots an hour and the horsepower
- .036.
The hoard concluded that with high
er boiler pressure allowed the Utah
can easily make 2f.50 knots an hour. or
thrce-quartcrs of Il Knot in excess OF
her contract stipulation.
on the 12-knot run fer = hours she
averaged 120lS knots with shaft
horsepower Of 1888. on the f9-knot run
for 4 hours she averaged 49, knots
with shaft horsepower Ct Hist
The greatest speed attained for one
hour in any ef the trials was 2flS7

The board reported there was com

time of their commitment. were TUESDAY
released from that institution in accord
ance with the vote taken at the last
meeting of the trustees of state juvenile
institutions
| Charles $. Stewart and Alfred Bushard
of Gardiner. the two young men IN the
case were fined $50 and costs at the April
term of the Kennebec county supreme
judicial court for marrying wards of the
state, while the girls, Ada Madofa ray
Ior 10 wears of ase. who became the
wife of Stewart, and Helen Neich, ~
years of age, who became the WIG .,

to the school
But the young husbands dld MOI pl"lose
to be deprived of their brides SO e"siis'
SO about three weeks ago through At

they brought habeas corbus PROCEEDINGS
in the supreme judicial court before AS
soeiate Justice Whtehouse- Attorney
General Pattangan representing the
state, at the time the proceedings were
brought, asked for continuance OF the
case and meanwhile the matter was
brought before the newly organized trus-
tees of the juvenile institutions Tor ae-
ton
The original action against the young
men was taken by the former board OF
trustees of the state Industrial School
for Girls. who, it is understood, In so 40
ing were actuated by tire motive OF de-
terring the inmates of the school from
thinking that. by contracting marriage
they were thus automatically released
from the institution The new board be-
lieved that nothing could be gained Irom
keeping the girls in the institution, even
if the law should be found on their side.
The young women Immediately after
being released joined their husbands and
thus ends rather unique romance.
one of the results of the publicity
given to this case will probably be an
attempt at the next session OF the
legislature to amend the statute re-
lating to the Industrial School Tor
Girls. so as to provide much more
drastic penalty fer those who contract
marriage with inmates of the lnsutu-
tion. The present statute provides that
whoever eiopes with. or without the
consent of the trustees marrles a Slrl
