ELECTION DAY IN DEL A'S.-OcVeTal AZ
rests for fighting were made in Bel Air on
Saturday by Sheriff Forwood-the melting
cause of the rows in every instance being bad
whiskcy. In one OF two cases violent resis-
lance was made to the Sheriff in the discharge
of bis duty, but he nevertheless performed it
fearlessly, until he succeeded in suppressing
the disorder. At one time he was obliged to
call upon some ofthe citizens for assistance,
which was promptly rendered.
The contrast afford between Saturday
and a regular election day, furnished tangi-
BILE proof of the wisdom of the legislature
that enacted the law forbiddiug the sale of
liquor on the day of a regular election.

ted deranged state of mind. The letter was
as follows:
Easton August %, 1S73-Dear Friends
and Neighbors / bid you oil adieu in this
fair world-also an advice to you all. Trou-
BILE was at the start-liquor wound it up.
Every person please take my advice and
prosper. l am ready any moment to give
up my life for others.
ID. l.. ECHTERNACH,
"And hope to meet you all in heaven"

Review of Portland Markets.
WEEK ENDING Nov. 26. 1879.

The Improvement noted last week in monetary

more ease in the money market and there is more
stiffness in commercial markets Our prices current
this week show no shrinkage in values of merchand-
Use of any Importance, while the -four and grain and
sugar markets show increased firmness with an ad-
vance in prices and still upward tendency. The
Cuban excitement still continues but the signs of
war seem to be gradually disappearing, and there is
hardly doubt that the difference between the Span
ish Government and that of the United States will
be amicably adjusted Under the excl ement gold
went up last week to 11Oa, but on Monday it went
down to 1901 and on Tuesday to 1909.

Mondays storm was productive of quite a
number of marine disasters OH this harbor,
only one of which, however, resuitnd in loss of
life. The schooner Livonia, of Rockland, Capt
ID. B. Rhoades, from Boston for Rockland,
with general merchandise, went ashore early in
the afternoon on the break water inside of Rich
mond's Island. The storm dashed her repeat
edly against the rocks, her masts went over,
and she turned upon her side. The crew chung
to the bottom, where they rem aimed, with the
sea continually dashing over them, for three
hours. The captain was washed off and drown
ed. A Cape Elizabeth man who was walking
GU the beach saw the wreck, fastened to the
house of Mr.. J. H. Jordan. got out a dory, and
with Mr.. Jordan went to the rescue. They
brought the crew, consisting of A. P, Stanley
and j. W. Rhoades, ashore. Capt Rhoades
was 80 years old and leaves wife and child.
Four vessels got wedged in between the lodges
on Trundy's Reef, and for a time were in great
danger Late in the afternoon the tug W. Fl.
Scott, Capt. Began, went to their relief. but on
account of the violence os the storm could
effect nothing. They lay between the rocks in
great peril all through the first part of the
night But the wind changing, they all float
ed off with the exception of the schooner Ag-
mes, of Ellsworth, which was towed off by the
tug.
The schooner "Little Sadie" was slightly
damaged by collision with brig in Simonton's
Cove.
The brig HI. H. McGilvery, from New York
to Richmond, loaded with coal, was in distress
at Simonton's Cove, and but for change of tide
would have gone ashore. The schooner ORR
limbo, bound for Calais, was at Pond Cove in
The same predicament. The tug Charles A.
Warren, Capt. Griffin, went to the rescue of
both.
The schooner Nettie Walker, from Machias
westward, was towed into port yesterday by the
tug w. FL. Scott, having her bottom pretty well
smashed and her keel torn out.
The British brig B. w. Cochrane went ashore
ON the mud inside of the breakwater as she
went to change her anchorage. The Scott got
her off without damage.
The tug Express went to Saco Monday morn
ing and took up through the ice two schoone rs
laden with lime. The English steamer Glen
don, light, for st. John, ran on the ledge at
Biddeford Pool, but backed off with the tide
and came to this city. She sustained but slight
damages.
The Scott and the Warren did good service
and saved much valuable property. Captains
Griffin aud Began deserve credit for the hui
manity, skill and courage displayed by them.

Cabinet Meeting.
The Cabinet was in session only two hours
to day. All the members were present except
Secretary Robson, who is in Philadelphia, in
connection with naval preparations. The Span
lsh question was debated but no additional
facts presented by the Secretary of State, nor
was there any new action taken relative to the
subject.
A Peaceful Salution.
There are indications that dispatches were
received tonight 6v both Secretary Fish and
Admiral Polo, the SPANS h minister, from Ma
drid, OF character which gives mere than
heretofore promise of peaceful solution uf
present complications, and it is known these
gentlemen were in private conference for sever
al hours to night at the residence of Mr.. Fish
comparing dispatches and discussing generally
the situation of affairs The impression that
instead OF war the government is having re-
ports from Minister Sickles concerning the
Spanish Cabinets views and the Spanish Cab
met has confined extraordinary powers on Ad-
miral Polo to communicate directly with our
government through the Secretary of State,
At all events the Spanish minister is now
brought into a mOretintimate communication
with Secretary Fish than at any time since the
prasent trouble began. 1t was remarked to-
night by gentleman prominently connected
with this government that things look far more
hopeful now than ever.
No Order for Suspension of Work i'm Navy
Yards.
The Construction Bureau of the Navy De-
partment says that if the work at any of the
navy yards is susdended it is not because of or
ders from Washington. 1t was only to-day
That orders were sent from the bureau to make
some additional repairs on the Colorado at New
York. The Roanoke is not Intended for the
North Atlantic squadron. but for the mouth OF
the harbor, and as for the Dictator there is very
little work remaining to be done to her.
Naval Matters,
Orders were received at the Washington navy
yard this morning to fit the Shawmut for sea
with all possible despatch.
The Fortune was launched this morning and
will be ready for sea in few days. She will
carry two thirty pound rifled guns in addition
to her torpedo attrchmeut
