Bar Harbor people very generally felt
the loss of the genial engineer, Porter
Smith, of the Maine Central, who had been
in charge OF the engine room OF the Maine
Central boats for SO many years, and had
such host of friends all around this
locality. He always had a smile and
hearty greeting for everybody he knew,
and he knew about everyb body in the
county. He was one of the most efficient
and faithful men on the route, and that is
saying good deal.-Bar Harbor cores

Chief Engineer Roy j. Goodwin and
about twenty of the Ellsworth fremen are
guests to-day of the Rockland firemen.
They made the trip to Rockland by auto
mobile, leaving here this morning at 8
o'clock in five cars. Near Green Lake at
narrow turn in the read, before daylight,
one of the cars went into the ditch and
turned turtle. Fortunately none of the
occupants were injured. Those in the
wrecked car piled into the other automo-
biles and proceeded on their way. The
damaged car was towed back to Ellsworth
this forenoon. The damages to the car
are comparatively slight.
The enjoyment of the concert at Ham
cock hall last Thursday evening was seri-
ously marred for the occupants of the
gallery at the left of the stage by two
young women who seemed wholly devoid
, of the sense of common courtesy;
throughout the evening they kept up an
almost unbroken fire of whispering, ut
terly regardless of the annoyance they
| were causing. So uncomfortable was their
conduct that three of their neighbors
| left the gallery and took seats on the
| floor, while nine others changed their
seats to other parts of the gallery. But
neither the changing of seats nor scowls
phased them, and they continued their
| disturbance to the end 1t is gratifying
to be able to say that neither was an Els
| worth girl, though one is employed here;
the other is summer visitor.
An alarm for lost child, sounded on
church and fire bells, awoke Ellsworth at
midnight Monday, and started out num-
Der of searchers. Elizabeth, the nine
year-old daughter of William Nye, was
the innocent cause OF the alarm. She had
spent the afternoon with her grand
mother at the city farm, and left there
after o'clock to walk to her home at
Grants corner. It was a long walk for
the little one, and by the time she had
climbed Bridge hill, darkness had over
taken her, and she was tired and crying.
Lewis A. Joy took her into his home. She
said: ''Mamma won't be worried if /
stay all night, for she told me I could
stay with grandmother" But mamma
learned by telephone that the little girl
had started for home, and then the worry
began, and the bells woke up about all
Ellsworth, except little Elizabeth, who
slept peacefully in the Joy bed.
