CHARLES O. CONY
DIFFERS ON DATES
WITH MIR. JORDAN

Charles o. Cony of the West Rive,
road called at the Journal office Fri
day morning to correct one or two
statements" in a letter from Olive,
J. Jordan, published in the journal
Wednesday.
Mr.. Cony says that the late George
Plllsbury built the DR.. Hill build
ing mentioned by Mr.. Jordan as
built by himself. and that Henry
Stone. Theodore Townsend, Mr.. Cony
and another man, who lived on North
street. but whose name he had for
gotten, worked on it. They lost
their tools in the great fire. although
Mr.. Cony saved part of his, through,
being on another job just at that
time.
Mr.. Cony said the location of the
Elias Milliken house was too well
known to need correction
He also thought other eye-wit
| nesses beside Mr.. Jordan were still
living of the steamer Halifax explo-
sion. Mr.. Cony remembered the dis
! aster well, because he and other boys
| in swimming in the river about three
miles up, saw the two steamers rae
ing down from Waterville and little
later heard the explosion, but could
not see the affair.
