FENIAN ExcrrEMENr.-About 200 Fenians

fENIAN Recommendations 200 Fenian
took passage Thursday in the steamer New
Brunswick at Eastport for Boston. Most o
them purchased cabin tickets, but the boa1
was SO crowded with passengers that they
were unable to obtain cabin, accommodations
ana they consented to take steeraee tickets
the dinerence in price being refunded to them
IN the passage from Eastport to this port
thursday night, they were very noisy and riot
ous' gong where they pleased and doing as
hey pleased, paying no attention to the rules
OF the steamer and defying the power of the
officers. &.
After the landing at this city had been
made and the boat was ready to start for Bos-
ton it was discovered that some few of the
Fenians were ashore. The whistle was sound
ed several times but no attention was paid to
it. The men were in the liquor shops in the
vicinity of the wharf, and when informed that
the whistle was the signal for them to be on
board, remarked that they "would go when
: they got ready and not before" f -4-a4
After waiting long time the steamer push
ed oil, leaving the men on shore. Before pro-
ceeding great distance the Fenians on board
made demonstration and compelled the cap
tain to put back to the wharf. U. S. Marsha,
Clark was sent for, and promptly came down
and ordered all the belligerent men ashore
About 100 of them Immediately obcyed the
order. The others swore they would not
bulge an inch from the vessel The Marshal
gave them the choice of coming on shore or GO
ing overheard, just which pleased them most
The men concluded It was best to come on
shore, On hint from the Marshal that the
boat would be detained until the conduct of
these men could be properly investigated, the
whole crowd of Fenians broke for the Depot
and soon filled the cars, which were about
starting fol Boston, and left for that city in
the train about O'Clock. The boat ther pro-
ceeded to Boston, en'.sz Z
1t was the intention Of Marshal Clark, ifthe.
men on board the steamer remained obdurate,
to run her down to Fort Preble wharf, and
give them lodgings in the Fort .ss5

The MACHIAs STEAMER.-The first trip of
the steamer City Of Richmond to Machias-
port, was pleasant and successful. She prov
ed herself to be the fastest boat running ON
these waters, and, withal, as substantial and !
good a sea-Soing craft as need be had. The |
passengers speak in the highest terms of Capt.
Deering, her commander, and of all the ofii- /
GERS and servants on the boat. 919
The steamer was received with great enthu-
siasm at Castine, Deer Isle, Sedgwick, South
West Harbor, Millbridge, Jonesport and Ma
chiasport, places at where she made landings.
The people turned out to greet the steamer,
and those who were on board Of her. Guns
were fired, flags raised and cheers given. Every
one expressed satisfaction at so beautiful and |
staunch boat as the City of Richmond. Es-
pecialy was this the case at Castine, where |
some $4,000 have been invested in the stock.
We cannot but believe that this will be |
successful route. There is business enongh, |
and there are passengers enough to support |
the boat, Without saying anything of the host
OF pleasure seekers who will be attracted to |
this route just as soon as the warm season |
opens, and its great beauties can be made |
known. 4e r1el9 s4a
1nreturning, the boat left Machiasport Thurs |
day morning, and, Notwithstanding the num-
erous delays at stopping places, which were
on the first trip, arrived here soon
after midnight. t't1' l - & '.i+ll.1a
