Wells Pioneered by Andrew S Merrill at Summer Resorts
Andrew S Merrill operated an artesian well boring machine across several resorts this summer. He completed a 70 ft well at South Harpswell for N N Jones yielding four gallons per minute, a 160 ft Auburn colony well with six gpm, and an eight gpm 70 ft well for Charles Ensign of Boston at South Harpswell. At Orrs Island he finished a 55 ft well for P L Jones with four gpm and has two wells pending at East Harpswell. Merrill’s scow sank during transport but a wrecking crew recovered the machine within 48 hours without major damage, and the engine has run reliably since.

Lightning Strikes Valliere Car But Plate Glass Saves Life
A bolt of lightning struck the hood of A. T. P. Valliere’s Studebaker as he paused in a heavy storm near Prince's corner. The plate glass windshield split but prevented the flash from entering the cabin, leaving Valliere shocked and briefly blinded. He rode to bed to recover, believing the glass saved his life. Also noted are Mrs. Galen C. Moses and Claire Mellwain’s White Mountains Canada trip and Henry Dearborn’s return to New York after visiting Small Point.
