Fire at Washington Junction.

Two small buildings at Washington
Junction were burned last Friday night,
and only the hardest kind of work by
volunteer tire-fghters saved the railroad
station.
The two buildings destroyed were just
across the street from the railroad station.
One was owned by E. II. Farnsworth and
was occupied by Capt. E. w. Allen, OF
Ellsworth, as lunch-room and grocery
store. The other building was owned by
E. L. Graves, and was occupied by him as
poolroom
The fire started just after midnight Fri
day, in an addition being built on the
Graves building, into which Capt. Allen
was soon to move. The light frame build
ings burned rapidly, and, with wind
blowing directly toward the station, that
building was in great danger.
Both buildings were insured, but Capt.
Allen, who estimates his loss at $500, had
no insurance.
The fire is believed to have been OF in
cendiary origin.

Unitarian Church Services,

There will be service at the Unitarian
church next Sunday morning, at 1890
Rev. A. L. Hudson, of Quincy, Mass, will
conduct the service and preach the SER
mon.
Mr.. Hudson is preacher of exceptional
force and vigor. He has held a number
of important pastorates in the Unitarian
body, notably at Salt Lake City, Utah, and
at Newton, Mass, and is at the present time
at Quincy, Mass. His church at Quincy is
one of the most interesting historic edi-
fees in the country, being an imposing
structure OF Quincy granite built early in
the last century. 1t is notable as tine only
church in the country beneath which are
buried the remains of two Presidents of the
United States - John Adams and John
Quincy Adams, and its walls are lined
with memorials from the Adams and the
Quincy families.
Owing to the power of Mr.. Hudson's
preaching and its instructive abilities, the
old church is in an exceptionally vigorous
condition. Mr.. Hudson is already we'll
known to Hancock county people, as he
spends his summers at his country place
at East Surry, and has spoken many years
at the Hancock county conference of lib
eral Christian churches.

SIR KNIGHTS AT BAR HARBOR.
Blanquefort Commandery Enter
tains st. Johns, of Bangor.

BIanquef0rt COmmandery Enter
tains st. Johns, of Bangor.
The entertainment at Bar Harbor ON the
Fourth OF st. Johns commandery, OF Ban :
gor, by Blanquefort commandery, K. T.,
of Ellsworth, proved a most enjoyable
affair.
The Bangor sir knights arrived in Els
worth on a special train about 1890, and
were joined here by the Ellsworth mem
bers of Blanquefort, who, preceded by
the Ellsworth Falls band, had marched
from the asylum in the Manning block
to the station.
AT Bar Harbor Blanquefort's ranks were
augmented by the members residing there.
The line was formed at the wharf, and, led
by platoon OF Bar Harb boris ''tinest", each
commandery preceded by a band, the sir
knights, numbering nearly 300, marched
over the assigned route, makinga splendid
appearance.
The parade ended at the Rockaway,
which was the K. T. headquarters for the
day. Here buffet lunch was served, and
until O'Clock the sir knights were sat
easel. The afternoon was spent in sight
seeing, automobile riding, social calls and
so forth. The resident sir knights were
assiduous in their attentions and were
hosts not only to their Bangor brethren,
but also to those from Ellsworth, mem
bers of their own commandery.
AT o'clock formal dinner was served
at the Newport, and this affair proved to
be the piece de resistance of the day
While there were good things galore,
Holsters were the feature. This dinner,
as well as the luncheon, was under the
personal supervision Of the proprietor of
the Newport, himself a sir knight, a
member OF Blanquefort, and he was the
recipient of many well deserved compIi-
ments.
After dinner the Bangor band gave ex
cellent concert on the lawn between the
Rockaway and the Newport. AT 7.30 the
line was formed, and the bodies marched
to the wharf, where, after salutations, the
visitors went aboard the boat, and, amid
the cheers of the crowd, the blowing of
whistles and the blare of trumpets,
sailed away, and day of anallayed
pleasure at Americas most famous sum
mer resort was at an end.

Probable Meeting Place of
District Convention.

A call for the organization of Sixth
district Democrats will be issued some
time next week by District Chairman
Walter Chambers, of New Castle. AL
though the official trumpet, as sound
ed by Bernard Korbly, Of Indianapolis,
state chairman, calls for the organiza-
ton of the state committee January
8, the district delegates will be chosen
December rs and 27, and on December
20 the district delegates viii gather
at a designated city in the district to
organize.
The selection for the meeting place
of Sixth district Democrats LIS still
undecided, but the announcement is
expected after a meeting of the pres
ent district executive committee,
Thursday. 1t is unofficial. however,
but it is expected that Richmond or
New Castle will be chosen for the
gathering place of delegates.
The state committee recently de-
c1ded to select delegates in apportion
ment of the Ralston vote. The appor-
tionment Of delegates is one for every
$50 votes or a fraction fore than sew
enty-five. 1t is understood that there
was some talk of apportioning the del
egates according to the vote for ex-
Governor Marshall in 1908.
Apportonment Smaller.
This years delegation is twenty
five, which is one less than the num-
Der of delegates from Wayne county
In the 1911 district convention The
apportionment by the state commit
tee Of 1911 was one delegate to every
200 votes cast for Ex-Governor Mar
shall. This years apportionment is
one delegate for each $50 votes. The
action by the present state committee
decreases Wayne county's delegation.
Several other counties in the district
will receive a smaller delegation by
the committees apportionment.
State Chairman Korbly has announc-
ed the apportionment for the Sixth
district in the following figures
Wayne, rs; Shelby, %; Hancock, It;
Henry, IT; Rush, Is; Franklin, Is ,
Fayette, 10; Union, 5; total Of 126

KIRKPATRICK SAYS
STREET RAILWAY is
NATURAL MONOPOLY
Impression Now Seems to Prevail
That All Franchises Granted
Should Look to Future in the
Matter of Guarding
Public Interest
by RALPH n. SILVER

The franchise for a street railway in
the city of Birmingham granted to George
C. Kelley and associates last Wednesday
morning by the city commission of Bir
mingham is unique. 1t is a departure
from the ordinary in that it contains fea-
lures, restrictions, limitations. privileges
and provisions never before Incorporated
in similar franchise in this city. And as
far as can be learned, in many of these
features 1t is unlike any franchise ever
granted by any other southern city
The power retained by the city of BIZ
mingham to regulate the building and the
operation of the proposed Kelley street
car line is almost unlimited. It covers cl-
most every conceivable phase of such
construction and operation The Kelley
system when built will come so near be-
ing a municipal street car line and yet
not be one that the line of distinction is
as the breadth CT hair. At least the
Kelley street car system when in oper-
alton in accordance with the specifications
of the franchise will be municipality con-
trolled street car system in larger sense
of the word than ever before realized in
this section of the country.

separate apartments for colored passen-
gers when so required by the city. The
company cannot place double track on
any street less than 80 feet in. width. The
company agrees to widen Cleveland street
on the north side from 80 feet, which 1t is
at present to 60 feet, and do so at its own
exrense. The company is compelled TO
allow the cars of other lines to use its
tracks provided just and fair compensa-
ticn is made, the same to be determined
BY the city.
And finally, the city reserves the right
to remove all dead tracks of the company,
and any track is to be considered d dead
track when the cars of the company do
not operate over it on a regular schedule.
There are several dead tracks in the city
now. it is claimed, which the city cannot
remove because of the lack of a similar
provision in other franchises.
The price paid the city for the fran
chise is $4,000 One thousand dollars be-
came the property of the city when the
franchise was granted, $4,000 more must
be paid when the city approves the plans
of the street cal. system, which plans are
to be submitted Yor approval within four
months after the granting of the fran
chse At this time the company also
agrees to give eight 5000 notes with ample
security, one note to be payable in jan
uary of each year, all being paid in eight
years after the plans are approved
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-01-19
CAN COMPEL USE OF
TRANSFERS TO OTHER LINES

One of the next most important pro-
visions of the franchise is that when
so designated by the city government
the company must give and accept
transfers to and from other street ear
lines in the city. This provision will
enable a patron to start a trip on the
Kelley line. transfer to the b. r.. l. &
p, or any other line; do it on the same
fare and continue his journey. Likewise
he could start on any other line and
his transfer would be valid to con-
tinue his journey on the Kelley line.
This provision of course Is worthless
until like provisions are placed in the
franchises of the other street car lines
operating in the city. But such can
be done in time as the present fran
chises held by these other companies
will expire and the new franchises will
contain the provision. 1t is generally
believed. however that some way will
be found by mutual agreement between
the lines and the city government by
which transfers Will be given and ac-
Icepted to and from all lines operating
lin the city within the mot distant
future. OF course this transfer system
would have to be regulated and made
reasonable so that it would be fair to
the operating lines as well as to the
public
