Sixteen-inch naval guns, manned by

Without question they are the long

The projectile weighs close to a ton

The destructive effect is enormous.

The immediate success of the American

Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and
Eastern Canadian points. 1t was a sad
blow to old associations when the Ameri-

ago.
Mr. Jones has reftted the hotel from
cellar to roof in the most artistic way,
with the sole idea Of the comfort of his
patrons. The house was always famous
for it's cuisine; this will be kept right
up to the minute. The RathskeIler was
always one of the most attractive dining
places in the country. The service and
the food and the music are promised to
be always of the very best. There will
be additional facilities for dancing.
Mr.. Jones has been deluged with in
quiries by mail, telegraph and phone,
concerning the opening, many of the vel

SNOWROUND AT VASSALBORO
Dozen People Pass Friday Night ir
Trolley Car

A party of IL people, one of them a
woman, had an experience Friday aft
ernoon and night, while enroute from
Augusta to Waterville, that was not all
pleasant, although there was no actual
suffering, and through which experience
they learned how it feels to pass the
night on a trolley car stalled in the snow
drifts of Kennebec county. The party
left Augusta at about 4 o'clock Frida Y
afternoon on car 1884. one of the big
through cars of the Lewiston, Augusta
& Waterville Street Railway. bound to
Waterville. the car being in charge OF
Conductor Charles and Motorman Jones.
There were drifts along the line between
Augusta and Waterville and a plow pre-
coded the car on its trip.
The pillow went through to Watervile
but the car got stuck in q drift near
Weber pond vassalboro, and remained
there until Saturday morning. until a
pillow from Waterville finally got back
TO the stalled car after having got stuck
itself in the drifts further up the line
from where the car was stalled. and as
sisted in getting the car back to Augusta
about the middle of Saturday forenoon,
after 1t had been for about - hours in
the drifts 1t was reported that the last
of the coal which was used in heating
the car was consumed just before mid
night, but inquiry Of the railroad people
yesterday brought forth the answer tina.
there was coal enough on the car to keep
the car as warm as usual" Coffee
and apples were brought to the people

Hussey, half mile away. which some
what relieved their discontinue. but 1t
is doubtful If any OF them would care to
pass another night in q trolley car under
similar conditions.
