Bath Timeg. March THE Duchesse
de Rcheiieu arrived this morning from
New York for visit with Madame
Emma Eames de Gogorza. The
duchess is a woman OF great ac-
omplishments and charm, and
Madame Games has been interested
in her voice and talents for long
time. She first met the duke at the
home Of the de Gogorzas Of whom he
is an old friend. The duke was at
Manners at the time of the Battle Of
the Marine. Being in America at the

world famous battle. Had he arrived
there in time no doubt he would have
been killed, for his regiment was COM
man rush. The duke became i'll and
has come to America to recuperate.

The heavy rain Of Saturday last was
a serious injury to the lumber interests
all along the Rangeley Division Of the
Maine Central Railroad and Andres
coggin waters. as all low lands were
flooded and small streams broken up.
The ice going out Of Swift River on
Saturday night, flooded the tracks of
the Maine Central at Hop City Flats In
Roxbury, but with the turn to colder
weather, the waters receded without
damage to the roadbed. Unless more
snow and cold weather hangs, many
operators will be caught with pulp
wood and logs left in the woods
