MAINE ELECTIONS.
Partial Returns Of Yesterdays Election
for Governor and Other State Of
fleers-Meagre Reports. id

:.
PORTLAND, Me, September S.--Sixty-
three towns give Dingley 1864; Tit
comb. yl55; Williams, 4s8; being a
majority of 425I for Di" gley Last year
Perham received 22,044 and KimbalI
1906, being a majority for Pc h an OF
5J78 Net loss, 1871. The aggregate
vote this year is %, Az, and that OF last
year S,Il0 This indicates a majority
Of about 1900 on vote of about 50, 900.
The returns are still too few to Judge
fairly. Kennebunk gives Dingley 1895; /;
Titcomb, $50. Lewiston rives Dfngiey
602 and Tjtcomb 3S1. Lewiston is the
home Of Dingiey, and Kennebunk the
home OF pitcOmbs EEtE JFgFFt
rERAOhe 4fundred towns give
Dingley 20,43l, Titcomb 1888, Will
Jams 6S3; Republican majority $500.
The same towns,l last yesT gave Perham
32s7, Kimball "a, lo4i Rkpubliesn MAJ
jority Sl13. This shows that the ma
jOrity this year will probably be II 900
out of an aggregate vote OF so 098against
Republican majority last year of 49,
537 of vote OF III ,259 The towns not
heard from gave last yesr for
Perham 3s,0S6, Kimball 81 ,2s2.
The Republicans last year carried
Knox county for the first time.
This year the returns indicate
that Democrats have carried it. The
Republicans have probably carried the
other fifteen counties, though possibly
one or more may be lost on account Of
the independent ticket. The Democrats
carry Bangor on the gubernatorisl vote.
The Republicans have elected their rep
resentatIves. Ellsworth is reported as
giving McComb one hundred majority.
This seems unlikely, as last year it gave
Perham five hundred and eighty-four;
Kimball, four hundred and fifty. Lack
of interest in the election makes return
meagre.
Bartlett, Independent ani Roache,
Democrat, are known to be elected to the
Senate. Roache, anti-railroad, will
probably vote for Casserly for the United
States senate. 1t is impossible to give a
correct statement of the number of anti
railroad and doubtful members of the
legislature elected. The closest figuring
indicate Booth to have forty.fiye to fif-
ty votes on joint ballot. He is the
growing man Of the State and gains
popular strength daily.

DISASTERS AT SEA.
Two Whalers AshOre-CreWs Exposed,
and Many Die from ScurV!.

New BEDFORD, MASS, September s.
The schooner Abbie Bradford at this
port from Hudson's bay, reports the loss
of two New Bedford whalers and brings
home portion of the crew of one o.
them. The particulars are as follows:
On the fourteenth of September, 1872
the bark Orray Taft, at anchor neal
Marble island, Hudson's bay, parted hel
cable and went ashore high and dry, and
cannot be got off On the nineteenth oi
October following the bark Ansel Gibbs
went ashore at the same place, and went
to pieces. The Orray Taft had no oil,
but the Ansel Gibbs had five hundred
and fifty barrels of whale-oil aud eleven
thousand six hundred pounds of bone,
most of which was lost. No men
were lost at the time of the
wrecks, but both crews were
Obliged to live on the island until the
second of August last, aud from ex-
posure and lack of proper food they were
attacked by the scurvy. The winter
was fearfully cold, being the most Sc
we're for a number of years, so that the
natives of the island died by scores, and
the wrecked crews suffered exceedingly
Ten Of the crew of the Ansel Gibbs, and
four of the Orray Taft died. Among
the dead ST the crew of the Ausel Gibbs
is Murray D. Mcconnell, of Jacksonville
Illinois. The crew of the Orray Taft,
and three of the crew of the Ansel Gibbs,
will come home in another vessel.

CAPTAIN James d. Davis, "Old Times, F"
j. now delivering to subscribers his
History OF Memphis, the first attempt
ever made to group together the facts
aud incidents attendant upon the settle
ment Of the city. To say that it is re-
plete with interest is not TO tell the half
Not only to the representatives of the
old families whose names are intimately
identified with Memphis, but to the
new conner Of yesterday, must this book
be desirable. To the one it will recall
perhaps much that he has heard
by the fireside, while TO the other it will
convey information not to be had in
any other form. Captain DAVIS has not
only given US all that can be learned in
regard to the original grant Of land and
the laying out Of the city by the origin
al proprietors, but has traced
the march Of Improvement and
progress through forty five years,
picturing TO us in life-like colors the
hamlet out Of which Memphis strug-
gled to her present proportions. Aud not
content with this, he has so interlarded
1t with auecdote and personal reminis-
cences as TO invest his book with hu-
man interest, which all his readers
viii confess 10 be a chief charm
OF it. 1t is book that is
s,i gaeris-like the man and the place
Of which he treats. 1t is not perfect, il
does not pretend TO be q specimen of
high literary effort, and it does not claim
place with Macauley; but, as the first
attempt to grOupe together the facts
most prominent and most worthy
Of preservation in a history of oUr
city, it will find a place higher
up in cur hearts than Maeaulay or
FroUde can ever reach. 1t tells US Of
home in plain, homely style, and rescues
from Oblivion the names and deeds of
those who laid the foundations of our
city. and watched it through all its
struggles, until it reached the vigorous
proportions that bespoke present
success. We thank Captain Davis
for his work, and trust that he may find
it necessary TO publish a second and
rhird editions, for we would like to know
that every household in Memphis con-
tanned a copy of his History Of Mem

A Man Killed al Sprinr CreeL

On Monday, the twentieth-ffth o.
August, difficulty arose between one
Mr.. Kizer and Barker, at Spring creek
about mule trade. While they were
trying to settle the matter by a physi.
cal contest, two unexpected brickbats
propelled by an unknown force, came
whizzing through the air and struck
Barker-one on the face the other on
the back part of the head-fIom the
effects of which wounds Barker died on
the following Thursday. No one seems
to know who set the brickbats in motion
that did the fatal work. Barker
is represented as being a very bad
man, and, from all we can learn, there
will not be many tears shed in the
vicinity of Spring creek over his depar-
ture. The matter should be investi-
gated, and the evil-doers punished

MORE SWINDLING.
The Georgia Railroad Plundered by
its officials.

For some time past the Georgia rail-
road company have been investigating
charges Of fraud Oh the part of their en-
plOyes. 1t appears that the road-mas-
ter's, freight and other departments
have been in collusiOn with contractors,
by which excessive prices were paid fOI
wood, repairs, freight claims, pay-rolls,
and almost every item of expense, while
the returns for tickets, freights, etc,
were abstracted-tne whole constituting
a large amount of defalcatiOns which
seriously diminished the revenues Of the
company. The board of directors have
referred the whole matter to Colonel f.
w. Cole, the general superintendent,
with power TO act. After a careful ex-
amination-a sort of court-martial being
held in the superintendent's office at the
Georgia railroad depot-he discharged
the road.master, P. w. Printup; the
supervisor, !. s. Shipley; and the gen.
eral freight agent, II /. Rhodes. 1t is
also understood that the entire force in
the road-master's and supervisors de-
partments have been dismissed, and
that new men will be appointed. OIL
Onel Cole has appointed Mr.. Newman
Hicks road-master, and Mr.. Thomas c.
Hendry supervisor.

An E1prsss.Robbery story DenIed.

CHICAGO, September s.-The officials
o. the American express company here
state that there is no truth in THE story
of the robbery, by one of their meSssn-
gers, of fifty thousand dollars, and his
subsequent arrest with the funds in his
possession. The story came directly
from the detective who claimed TO have
made the arrest, and of course was sup
posed to be true when telegraphed from
here. The object Of the detective in
manufacturing the story is not clear.

TaE ATTACHMENT OF WAGES MAINTAIN


Our letter from Dover describes the manner in
which the bill repeating attachment OF wages
was defeated in the Senate. Other measures,
modifying the present law, are proposed. but
they viii meet the same opposition from the re-
solute official lobby in this city that killed the
first bin, and we see little hope Of their success.
For two years more, therefore, the system by
which mans wages may be summarily seized
for debt will be maintained, and its repeal is the
second Of the measures of Reform which the
Democratic majority in this Legislature have de-
feated.
Opinions differ, we know, as to the propriety
of the present system. Upon the old-fashioned
theory, crimes were punished with great severi-
ty. Many children have been hung for stealing
bread, and there are thoss, even yet, who do not
condemn such laws, holding that If children
don't like to be hung, they must not steal and
that If men don't want their wages seized, they
must not go into debt. Upon this theory, he
who incurs risk, or takes a false step, is lost
there is no mercy for him.
Such systems of law are inconsistent with
sound public policy, and out Of accord with the
more advanced and liberal theories OF the Age,
They are harsh and cruel. They are open to
abuse. They ought to be repealed. The refu-
sal Of the present Legislature to repeal this one
Of their number is one more proof of the inabil-
ity of the ruling majority in that body to com
prehend the situation and to grant the Reforms
which It demands.
