NAMES FIRST BRICK HOUSE.

Erected in 1773, of brick of his own
making. the Hugh Mcclellan house still
stands in Gorham, probably the first
brick building in Maine. Many visitors
come every year to see this fine speci-
men of the work of the old days, which
has been kept almost unchanged. The
walls are all of four thicknesses of brick,
and the small paned windows, with their
shutters and deep window seats, the flax
wheel and other former possessions of
the family, are all exceedingly interest
ing to the lover of the days of our fore
fathers. The register which is kept of
the visitors bears signatures from many
States. The land was purchased in 1913,
Mr.. Mcclellan securing the gra tees
right of land in ''Narragansett No. T."
or 200 acres, for the sum of $40 The
deed of this land is now in possession of
his descendants.
The house enjoys a romantic as we'll as
an antiquarian reputation from the writ
of Hugh Mcclellan. Mr.. Kellogg in his
Good Old Times, says: I'm this us house,
built in 1773, the first brick house erect
ed in Maine, the bricks of which were
made by his own hands and those of his
children, lived and died Hugh Mcclellan,
and Elizabeth his wife-the father and
mother of Uncle Billy and eight other
children, the youngest of whom Martha,
was our Grannie. The walls to
the second story are of brick-the ends
and roof of wood. The progress of i'm
provement has replaced the old gable by
modern sharp roof, and some slight al
terations have been made inside; the
great fireplace has given way to stove
otherwise the old house stands as the
founders left it," Ceramic" was the
authors great aunt, his grandmother
sister, at whose house he often visited
when boy, and at whose knee he drank
in the stories which he preserved for the
world in his fascinating Good Old
Times. "-Biddeford Journal.

Settled Out OF Court.

The case of Ada Faustina Berry of
Searsport versus The Penobscot Coal &
Wharf company at Searsport, better
known as Mack's Point, was entered
''neither party at this term and mo
further action for same cause" This
was an action brought by the plaintiff to
recover the sum of IS, 0G0 for the injury
and death of the husband of the plaintiff
on the second of September, 1910, while
employed in unloading the schooner Mar
garet Haskell, which was discharging
coal at that pier. Through the breaking
of one of the guy ropes and the falling
of the coal bucket, the husband of the
plaintiff, Frank H. Berry, received such
serious injuries that his death resulted.
1t is understood that settlement was
effected without a trial. Dunton &
Morse appeared for the plaintiff and w.
H. CULVER and H. C. Buzzell for the de-
PENDANT corporation.

BARGE VS.. SCHOONER.
Prediction that all Granite Freights Will
Soon 90 bv BARGE

Soon 60 by Barge.
C. A. Crabtree of New York, master
of the barge Baltic, and former Han
cock county man, predicts that in a few
years the barges, which have practically
run the small coasting schooner out of
the coal-carrying trade, will be carrying
all the granite freights from seapor t
quarries, such as those at Stonington
Swans Island, Sullivan, Franklin and on
Somes Sound. In letter to the Bangor
News, Capt. Crabtree says:
"Some thirty years ago, before barges
were in the coal-carrying trade, schoon-
ers of 100 to 400 tons were considered
large enough for the business and were
paying property, but shortly after this
the building of large schooners began
and we kept building them larger and
larger until the limit was reached in the
Thomas W. Lawson Cost about two
years ago. which carried 5000 tons.
'"These large schooners paid well,
while the smaller ones suffered, but they
all have had their day and their places
are being taken by barges and steamers.
There are several reasons for this, but
the principal reason is the saving of time.
mot many years ago when they got
SO fast that they could discharge 300 tons
of coal day, it was thought something
marvellous. Today they discharge 1000
tons an hour. The dealer, few years
ago had to send his order sixty to ninety
days before delivery. Today, by barges
and steamers, the eastern dealer can
havekhis coal delivered in Boston sixty
hours after ordering, and the Maine deal
err in ten to twenty hours later.
up to within year or two barges
have confined themselves to carrying
coal and ice, but to. day they carry about
all the granite shipped from Massachu-
sets and very large quantity shipped
from Maine. predict that within a
very few years granite shipped from
Stonington, Bluehill, Swans island, Mt.
Desert Island, Sullivan and Franklin will
almost all go in barges.
every one is getting the habit.
Hurry! Ship at once! Get it there as
soon as possible. But sailing vessels will
not disappear at once, for they will carry
lumber, and other cargoes that are not
so quickly handled, for n any years yet.
AS our coastwise business is done entire
ly by American vessels with American
officers, it is sure to take care of itself,
and all of these improvements make it
quicker and cheaper to the dealer and
also to the consumer"
