The breaking Of Dam Number Two,

trestle of the Maine Central crosses

will not be as easy to repair as that
done the water main. The work of

MISSING COLBY BOY
WRITES TO PARENTS

Houlton. Ne, April 1o.-Mr and Mrs
William Scribner have received a letter
from their son, Ernest scribner, who mys-
terously disappeared from Colby College
March 16, and for whom search has been
made both in Canada and Massac husetts
Mr.. Scribner went from Watervile to
Boston and from there to Fort Slocum
where he enlisted in the regular army.
His parents are much relieved in mind
knowing just where he is located and
right along they have thought he might
have enlisted but We're unable to find his
name at several recruiting stations. Mr.
Scribner informed his parents that ow-
ing to the fact that he was behind in his
studies and could not possibly graduate
with his class in June made him desire 70
leave college.

Enthusiastic Patriotic
Gathering at Coliseum

over 100 Gardiner citizens gathered at
the Coliseum Tuesday fornoon at 10. 30
0 cloclS in response to call issued by the
Gardiner Red Cross Chapter to arrange
for a Tag day" 1t was evident that
the meeting ran away with the projec-
tors. for Tag day was mentioned but
once and no arrangements were made in
the meeting for such an affair The eet-
ing took the bits in its teeth in approved
thoroughbred style and ran away. In
spite of this fact, however it proved to
be one of the most thrilling of the pa
triotic gatherings held thus far and was
the only one that really got anywhere -
X. +. Hazard of the committee on public
safety and Canon X. w. Plant both adj

figures, some startling and others pleas

The meeting was opened by Rev. r. w
Pinkham with the following words: I'VE
are no longer a nation at peace, but at
war with a nation that in the past three
years has astounded the world met as
citizens, anxious, wondering what is to be
our part" He then presented Mr.. Haz-
gard who gave a stirring address. The
speaker characterized the situation as
clean cut along two lines, the sentimental
and the practical, and any properly con-
stituted person must look with horror
on what this war means. There are two
ways of making money, honestly and 9TH
erwse. In civil life when the latter is
done we have redress in the courts. In
international affairs there is no tribunal
that can say that Germans cannot get
what she can and keep what she gets
She is staggering under an enormous
debt: we have the means and she intends
to get these means if she can.
He referred to the English fleet being
the only thing that stands as our pro-
lection against the German navy. If Ger
many came over after the means Of meet
ing her obligations we could not have
called on England or France for assist
ance. All this is now overcome by the
declaration of war. Mr.. Hazard then

wreck made a great noise and a crowd
soon gathered but for some reason or
ether very few people uptown Knew OF
the accident and it was only When the
badly damaged car was towed up
through the street that il was maze
known.
The Augusta car after getting clear
of the wreck was able to return on us
trip TO Augusta as usual.
Just how the accident happened IS
somewhat of a mystery. The conductor
and motorman on the Augusta car had
nothing 20 say about the matter, ana
no one else could explain it. although
one railroad man said that he had a
theory The Waterville & Fairfield
cars have the right of way over this
section Of the read. and he said that he
believed that it was customary for the
notorman on the Augusta car 10 look
UP the line to see of there was a car
coming just as he cleared the houses
at the end of the bridge and then to
look down the line to see if one was
coming that way. He explained il as
his belief that the man looked right
hy the car that was coming down and
did not see it urtil they came together.
That this has happened is matter of
record one of the railroad mans lis
teners having lad just that experience.
although in his case no accident was
involved as he was able to prevent it
at the last moment.
