The Result in Waldo County.

The Democrats of Waldo County have
right to feel proud Of the figures which
the returns of last Monday show Gov
cred as the County is with radical officials,
who worked with desperation, it is some
thing wonderful that anything like sue
cess should have been achieved But we
present to our friends of the other portions
of the State the following result
Perham's majority cut down from 400
to l4S
Two Democratic Senators gained.
Two Democratic Representatives cain
ed.
And we say to our friends in the Coun-
ty, that with proper organization and eff
fort, Waldo can be made and kept per
manently Democratic. The tide is in
our favor. From 1900 majority only a
few years ago. our opponents have come
down to the narrow margin Of only 146
votes. Why, from the city of Belfast alone,
one hundred Democrats were absent last
Monday.
The feeling against Vose in this city,
helped the success Of the Democratic Sen
atorial ticket, but q spurious ticket, print
ed in Bangor and secretly circulated, hay
ing the name Mclean instead of McLel-
Ian, injured the ticket about one hundred
votes, We make McLellan's majority to
be Gt, and Fletcher's Poi Fogler, Re
publican, is elected County Attorney by
500 over Keene. Clark, for County Com
missioner, has 105 over Downs Forbes,
tor Treasurer, has l4j over Colburn.

THE WRECK OF THE LODONA.
Thrilling Account of a Survivor.

NEW DIRK, sept 4.
Lewis Woltness, boy who was on
board the Lodona, which was wrecked on
the coast of Florida, August II, states
that the vessel, during the heavy gale OF
the 18th, struck on the reef at about halt
past O'Clock in the morning and shifted
over on her beam ends. His account OF
the affair is as follows
Capt. Hovey was in the pilot-house at
the time she shifted, and fell out and
stumbled while trying to catch hold of
the main rigging. The sea broke over
the ship and washed him off and carried
away the pilot-house. The captain was
not seen any more. Some of the crew
got into the boat, and when about thirty
yards from the ship the Lodona capsized
There were fourteen of the crew in the
main rigging, when the mainmast gave
away and the sea broke it off All four
teen, excepting the Captains son Freddy,
fifteen years old, and the cook, Frank,
We're washed overheard; but they swan
as we'll as they could in the sea. which
was mountain high. Stephens, the first
mate, got into the only other boat there
was, which was life boat, and q heavy
sea broke again and washed the boat and
himself away He reached the shore first
of all. The crew, chief engineer, first
assistant engineer, five sailors, myself and
fireman, worked our way ont forward to
the top gallant torecastle. The wreck was
washed ashore gradually, and we remain
ed on her until two hours after the main
mast went down, when we found our
selves on breakers three or four hundred
wards from the bank. The chief engineer
and fireman swan ashore first, and the
second mate followed, and the remaining
members of the crew, with the exception
of myself first assistant engineer and one
sailor, remained on the wreck until Satur-
day. The sailor made raft. None of
us could swim who remained on the
wreck. The first assistant engineer took
the raft to go ashore, and was washed off
several times by the breakers. The sail
or and myself made it. broke the bull
warks out of the ship to make it, and
went ashore with the sailor. BY this
time the chief engineer captains son,
second mate and the cook had gone down
to the lighthouse, six miles distant, and
the keeper told the party to walk twenty
eight miles up the beach to the first Gus
toni house station. While living two
days in the vessel we had nothing to eat
but raw potatoes, onions and raw Goldfish.
The onions made Us very thirsty, as we
could not get water. We stopped on the
beach that night, and the next morning
we started and walked twenty-eight miles,
and We're two days and a halt making the
distance, with nothing to eat, only . little
water 10 drink While walking along
this beach we passed fourteen bodies
washed ashore from the wreck. The first
one we saw was about four miles from
the wreck, the farthest was nearly TWEEN
ty-five miles from the Inflated Lodona
Captain Hovey's body was missing.

The Election.

Had the election taken place ten DAYS
earlier than it did, the republican malori-
ty in Maine would have been cut down
to five thousand The amount of work
done in that time by the radicals has been
prodigious. The Pap Brigade has been
urged into the double quick all over the
state, and all possible appliances brought
to bear upon the brief canvass. The rum
question, which has been so often used
as a balancing pole to aid the adroit pos
turing of the party, has again been an eff
iectual instrument. The Governor, who
was elected as the special friend of pro-
hibition, has suffered the law to sleep
during all his term. Never within the
recollection of any one, has liquor flowed
50 much without restraint as now. And
thus the party of temperance and pro-
hibition, really keeps itself in power by
selling indulgences for unlimited rum,
and floods the state with " ct d:lmnation.
1t is evident that large portion of the
republican party, while confcssing the
evils under which the country labors, still
hope to find the remedy within the or
ganization, Party ties and associations
are yet too strong. Another twelve
months without Improvement, which is
certain to come, will make huge i liter
ance, especially in the sca-coast towns,
and in the Presidential year we shall be
very greatly mistaken if the Democratic
vote is not very largely increased.
In 1868 the radical majority in Maine
was 10000. In 1870 it was 5000 This
year we think it will be about the same.
II we hold our own in the popular vote,
and make handsome gains in the Legs-
laturc, and in County officers, it is evident
that we are still advancing, In this yicw
the future is still bright.

VERDICT.

llberatlOnS ana rendered the following
VERDICT.
That the aforesaid persons then and
there lying dead before the Jurors, came
to their deaths through a collision of
trains on the Eastern Railroad at or about
twenty minutes after S o'clock on the
evening of the 26th day of August, 1871,
near the said railroad depot in Revere
cause of said collision was the negligence
Of John S. Rowland, the conductor OF the
Beverly train, upon which said persons
were killed, and Ashbel s. Brown, en-
gineer of the colliding Pullman train.
The former failed to notify the latter
by signal or otherwise that his (the sal d
Nowland's train had been delayed on the
road, after starting, about twenty min
utes; and said Nowland would have
known, had he consulted his watch. that
the Pullman train was overdue by its reg
ular running time before he (the said
Nowland) reached Revere.
And that the engineer OF the Pullman
train had an unobstructed view of at
least one-half of q mile of the Beverly
train rs it stood at the depot at Revere,
directly before the collision took place,
and could and should have seen the tail
lights of said train in season to avoid the
collision.

Mexican Outrages on American Com
merce.

GALVESTON, Texas, Sept. g.
There is a great excitement here in
consequence Of outrages perpetrated by
armed Mexicans upon American COM
merce. Capt. Thurston, of the bark
Brothers, reports that eight Mexicans
were killed before he was compelled to
leave his vessel. The Harvest Home was
also attacked by Mexicans, but the captain
was more fortunate than he of the bark
Brothers. The captain of the Harvest
Home was determined not to surrender,
and prepared for stubborn defence As
the Mexicans pulled along side his vessel,
he opened Oh them heavy fire of small
arms. His crew fought valiantly, and
although the Mexicans once or twice sue
ceeded in gaining the deck of the Harvest
Home, they were finally compelled to
take their boats with loss of eight or
ten killed, and retreated to the shore
There the captain, aided by handful of
brave seamen, beat off the Mexicans and
saved his vessel. The particulars of these
transactions have been forwarded to
Washington, and the captain of the bark
Brothers, together with his crew, remain
here awaiting orders from the federal
government
