BAD AccIDENT.-Rev. William B. Lee.
pastor of the Genevan Presbyterian Church in
Brooklyn, New York, who has been spending
short time in this city, yesterday visited
Peaks Island in company with some connec
tons and friends. After rambling around
the island he laid down upon the grass and
fell asleep. Being awakened as the boat was
about to leave, he started up and in passing
down by the bowling alley made misstep
and fell down the declivity, striking his head
on the rocks. In falling he hauled his COM
panion-a brother-in-law--with him. Mr.
Lee was picked up insensible, This companion
was uninjured) conveyed to the city by the
steamer and taken to the residence of his IA
ther-in-law, Edward Howe, Esq. Dr. Hunk
ms of the U. S. Army, was at the island with
the party, and he paid every attention posi-
Bile to the sufferer and accompanied him to
the residence of Mr.. Howe, remaining with
him until other surgical aid could be sum-
moned.
DIR. Wood, the family physician of Mr..
Howe, and DIR. Gilman, were called and a con-
sutation was held. 1t appearing that the
skull of Mr.. Lee was fractured Immediately
above the temple, an operation was success
fully performed by DR.. Hunkins in the pres
ence of Drs. Wood and Gilman, which the
patient bore with great fortitule. At late
hour last night he was as comfortable as could
be expected, though his case was considered
critical.

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.
The Commercial says the market is calrner
to-day than might be expected. Until ii is
known what amount of certificates are ont.
there viii doubtless be great caution IN lend,
ing to all but firms in the highest standino -
If it were known that the issue reached the
largest possible figure, $2,500,OOO, there would
inevitably be severe contraction in moneta-
ry circles, for it would then be clear there
must be heavy losses and failures Somewhere.
Probably the extent of the issue viii not he
known until it is ascertained whether ANYTHING
can be obtained from Ketchum & Co. in com.
pensation. It is understood that Morris
Ketchum has stated that he will be able To nav
fifty cents on dollar of his liabilities We
are not aware whether that is supposed to in
clude the liabilities on account of Ed Ketch-
um's iorgeries Wehear of some cases of SELL
ing ofcollaterals. 1t is rumored that a firm
in the stock and gold business has failed. 1t
requires confirmation. a
cold is rather stronger, and the demand for
customs is large, and prices tend upwards
Gold checks of Ketchum & Co. have been sold,
but with no appreciable effect on the market.
The Post states that the losses of Ketchum
d Co., by abstraction of bonds and other secu-
rites, will reach from $2,50O,OOO to 100000.
The name OF the firm was only used once by
young ketchum, and that on the day of his
nlght, when he obtained on check 100000.
Inc losses OF Graham will foot up over one
million dollars. Brokers and others share in
the losses in sums from S45 900 to S15O,OOO-
-Four millions is the lowest statement of the
loss 1t is thought the figures viii finally show.

TILE TRADE OF MAINE.

BANGOR, August ~, 1885,
TO the Editor Of the Presa: s
wish to say few words through your col
umns, as to the wants and position of Port
land IN connection with the trade of the in
terror and q portion of the seaboard of our
State The principal wants of Portland, SO
far as regards stopping the trade from going
out of the State to Boston, are more direct
and regular communication with some por-
lions, and the regulation of the time of the
arrival and leaving of the cars for the interior
Every merchant of Portland is aware that
hundreds of thousands of dollars 90 to Bos-
ton every year, that might be circulated in our
own State, merely because, as hundreds have
said to me, "there is no communication be-
tween here and Portland )" or, 81 do not have
any chance to stop in Portland unless stop a
day, and / don't want to do that, SO | go to
Boston, Some viii say they can take the
boat and not be obliged to stop but half day,
but there is a great portion of the people in
the interior of the State that will not travel
by boat. The movement of our merchants to-
wards establishing lines of packets to Els
worth, Machias and the eastern section of the
State, is in the right direction, but we want a
regular line from Bangor, Winterport, Bucks
port, Stockton, Searsport and to every place
on the Penobscot river, as the bulk of their
trade has gone to Boston.
/ have asked this question hundreds of times
in different sections of the State, aWould
you buy your goods in Portland, if you could
obtain them as easily as from Boston, and at
the same prices ?" and the reply has been in
variably eyes, I would give Portland mer-
chants the preference, at the same prices, for
believe in patronizing my own State"
"A New, it lies with the Nce merchants of your
city to take up this matter until Portland gets
the whole trade of the State She can have
it,not by sitting quietly in her counting rooms,
however, but by going among the people at
their own places of business.
What inconvenience or detriment could it
be to the P. & K Railroad to start from Show
hogan at eight A. NJ, instead of nine, and give
the people of that section even one hour to
stop in Portland and look round among our
merchants or the Maine Central to leave
Bangor at six instead of seven I? I hope
some of our leading men win take hold of
this matter and see if some arrangements can
not be made to have the time of our railroads
changed, and give the merchants of Portland
chance to try for the trade of our own State

sTHE HANDKBRoH1EF."

Captain Deaman, of a Vermont regiment,
picked up handkerchief on the battlefield of
BalPs Bluff, and forwarded it to the Autocrat
of the Breakfast Table, who wrote the follow
ing letter to the finder:
ealf 81 $50 sbas Boston, Aug. Z, 1866
Dear Sir:-I have just received the hand
kerchief which you have had the kindness to
send, and return you the most grateful &C
acknowledgements for it. His mother unfolded
it, and SAID, as she read his name, II marked it"
To you it was curious relic and as such can
understand that you valued it, and only parted
with it from generous impulse, which is hon
orable to your feelings. But to us and to our
children's children it is, and will be, something
more than relic; it records the baptism Of
blood of my first born on one of the most dread
full fields OF this hard fought war My son has
the mimic bullet which tore his breast on that
fatal day. He has the large ball from spher-
zeal case which was dug out of his heel at Fred
ericksburg. But this handkerchief, returned
after so long an interval, calls up the recollec-
ton of that day when he was so near death
more wildly than any other memento could do,
and will always be precious to him and to all
of u.s. n. Il
& My son is taking avaeation among the noun
tains, as believe mentioned, butt thank you
in his name, as well as in my own, and in that
of all cur family, for your prompt and cheerful
Kindness. Very truly yours,

HEAVY ROBBERY OF BONDS AND
NOTES.

4 The counting room of Messrs Patten &
Hamlen, on Commercial street, at the head of
Hobsons wharf, was entered Tuesday night
probably with the key of the Office, the hiding
place of which the burglars had discovered
A large iron safe was blown open, and between
$1,000 and $4,000 in U. S. $40 and 1880 bonds.
and about $4,000 in notes, and also 5000 in
bank notes were stolen. The robbers left I'M
touched quantity of city scrip and did not dis
cover SIPS in money which was in memo
randum book which they had taken from the
safe and thrown upon the desk with other pa
pers, The bonds and notes stolen were in tin
boxes, secured with padlocks, which were east
ly wrenched off The bonds were the proper
ty of Stephen Patten, Esq, and the notes be-
longed principally to James Il. Hamlen, Esq.
Payment of the latter has been stopped
1t is pretty evident that the robbery was
committed by experts, and that they discover
ed where the key of the counting room was
concealed at night, took it from its place and
afterwards returned it. The manner in which
the safe was blown open was by using wire
about SIG ofan inch in diameter, and six in
ches long, with on one end and finely
cut thread on the other. This was passed in
to the key-hole, and turned so that the lin held
it firm. The lock was then charged with pow
de-. A small plate large enough to entirely
cover the key-hole was then slipped on the
rod, and nut held it close. A small hole
through the plate allowed the passage of fuse
to the powder. The door of the safe was en-
tirely blown off, Hal
The noise of the explosion was heard by the
porter Of Messrs. Patten G. Hamlen, who re
sides near the counting room. The flash was
also seen by son Of the porter. The porter
arose and went out. Meeting with private
Waterman he enquired of him about the noise
but the watchmen said he had heard none and
the porter returned home.
No clue has been obtained of the burglars.
They left behind them jimmy which was
highly polished and had been newly sharpen
ed. The stump of cigar was found on the
floor, which shows that they took matters
coolly. ittH4 = No
