electrical commissions which look

climax the wind blew down the
limb of a tree onto the electric
light wire over on llth and cut
off the current so that the entire
town was in darkness for more
than an hour. Oil lamps were
found, however. and at a belated
hour the thirty odd of the faith

repast which Mr.. and Mrs. Clark.

pleased with what WAS put be-
fore them and the manner in
which it was served and at the
end extended Mr.. and Mrs. Clark
a vote of appreciation and thanks
besides some of them paying
more than the stipulated price to
make up the shortage of those
who were expected but who fail

The sale of the old Elks building to
A. 8. Black of Rockland has started
rumors that Mr.. Black is to establish
a moving picture theater in that place
at once. 1t Is known that Mr.. Black has
contracted with Hon. William T.
Haines for the construction of new
theatre in the Haines block on Main
street but 1t is said although no con-
frmation can be secured of the state
ment, that Mr.. Black is to build over
the upper part of the building and
make it, into a moving picture estab-
lishment. 1t is not expected that his
purchase will in any way affect the
tenants who are now in the building.
The arrival of the big new Micardo
engines, commonly called "A1ickeys"
by the men are expected almost any
day now. They have been on the road
sfor some time and should have been
here before this. According to reports
they will come to this shop for the fin
ishing touches and will then be put in
to the freight service at once. With the
rush of potatoes which is expected
from Aroostook county the first of the
year, and the general increase in other
freight. railroad men here say that
they will be badly needed. Every en-

THROUGH WINDOW
IN WILD RUNAWAY

A climax to the runaways which have
occurred in the city during the week oc-
Cured shortly after o'clock Thursday
afternoon when a horse belonging to G.
F. Terry became frightened by one of the
thills of the sleigh dropping off and strik-
ing about it's heels, and started on a run
up Silver street, running into and smash
Ing a Sleigh in which Mrs. Forest Nc
Nally was hitting in front of the Steward
& Marston store and, clearing itself from
most Of the sleigh there, dashed up the
street and directly across Main street and
into the north window of The Boston
Syndicate store, taking out two large
lights of plate glass and bringing up in
the window among a collection of dress
forms. Mrs. Terry and the driver were
in the sleigh when the horse started and
both were thrown out when the outfit COL
lided with the McNally sleigh. but neither
of them was injured. The horse escape
with a counle of bad scratches, and ex-
cent for the front part the sleigh was no,
badly damaped. The McNallv sleigh had
the top taken off, but Mrs. McNal'v was
uriniured. The Terry team consisting

, ed by Mr.. Terry for number of years
and has ALWAYS appeared to be a very
steady and safe animal. ard a two-seated
sleieh was coming up Silver street. The
driver employed bv Mr.. Terry was in the
front seat and Mrs, Terry was In the
back. They had Just made the turn a.
Spring street when one of the bolts held
ing the thlls to the elnieh dropned out
and in a second the animal was on the
run.
The driver did all that he could to
stop the frightened horse but his ef-
forts amounted to nothing. In front
Of the Steward & Marston store, Mrs.
McNally was setting in her team and
Bert McKenney Of the firm had just
brought out a piece Of stove pipe to
her when the Terry team came up the
street. Before there was a chance to
do anything the two sleighs came to-
getner, throwing Mrs Terry and the
driver out, while the horse continued
up the street. Mrs. MeNally was
thrown into the air and when she
came down was in her sleigh but the
seat had been taken out by the force
of the impact She was uninjured and
McKenncy seized her horse and pre-
vented its Joining in the run. The Ter
ry horse rushed UP the street with one
runner Of the sleigh dragging behtnd
and came to a stop in the store. The
crash was heard all up and down the
street and many men rushed to the
i scene and the horse was removed from
| the window and it was then found
| that he was uninjured. The runaway
| caused a great crowd to gather and
every one was much surprised that 1t
was not more serious. In the smash

whoever picked it up had not return
