To our FRIENDS.

1t is our desire TO make the american
a focus of City and County news. We
are not ambitions TO be leading"
paper, nor TO rise TO the rank of an
Influential journal but we are desir-
Gus OF making il a good local paper,
that shall be welcome TO all the sons and
daughters of Hancock County wher-
ever they are. To do this we want all
the local news sent to us. II everything
would happen in the american office,
we could chronicle it without help. but
things wont all happen here. Or TO
quote Sam Weller, if our ewes "were
double patent magnifying gas micro
scopes OF extra million power, perhaps
we could see through pair of stairs and
a deal door, but being only eyes, our
vision is limited" we must rely upon
the cooperation of Cur friends, and all
who care for a local paper. We earn
estly beseech all such to send us every
item of news in their neighborhood.
Every vessel that is building, or repair
ing, every house erected, every transfer
OF real estate, or business, everything
in fine that the neighbors talk about.
When any ofour friends are visiting the
city, we should be glad to have them
visit our office and read the EXCHANGES
and give US all the news of their neigh.
borhood.
We hope, however, that any friend
sending us items will not feel hurt, if it
is not published in his exact language.
We frequently are obliged to condense,
and to give only the neUs part of the
communication. We are just as CRATE
full. and appreciative.
The March meetings are near at hand
and we wish the town clerk of each
town. or some friend, would send us
list of the new town officers, and also
the amount of money raised for each
fund, with any other vote Of the town.
There will be incidents in every town
meeting that will interest our County
readers. ~

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. S.-A letter is re-
ceived here giving particulars of the sink
ing of the ship TuscarOra on the 9th of
January. During the night the mate and
six men jumped overheard and reached
one of the boats which contained four of
the crew who were keeping 1t clear of the
ship. The Captain refused to follow them,
and with fourteen of he crew remained in
the miZzen rigging and sunk with the YES
sci at IL z. NJ. Next morning the survi-
vOrs were picked up by the British steamer
Emerald and landed at Gibralter. The
TuscarOra had a cargo of $3.50 bales Of
cotton.
The following decisions, which are Of
importance TO ship-owners and masters,
have recently been made by the Secretary
of the Treasury:
list. In order to the issue of new docu-
ments to a vessel, in cases where the old
documents have been rendered invalid BY
sale, 1t is not necessary that the bill Of
sale should have been properly acknOwl-
edged. Under Section II, Act of Dec. 81.
1892, before vessel can be registered
anew after sale, bill Of sale rscIiag tie
former document, must be presented 10 the
Collector, and the production Of such bill
OF sale Is sufficient for the issue of new
documents. But under the Act Of Jnly 20,
1850, no bill Of sale is valid against any
person other than the grantOr, unless it be
recorded in the Office of the Collector; and
under the Act of March 20, 1895, no bill
Of sale can be recorded unless daily &C.
kaowledged. The recording and acknowl-
edgment are not, however, prerequisites to
the issue of new documents.
End. A new vessel must be allnleasared

To the Editors Of the American -
You will certainly have II. X. through

spirit of improvement and enterprise has
taken up its abode in the hearts of your
people, and according to present indca-
tons. 1t will there remain, till 1t works
out the grandest of results.
Iwo-thirds of the year, you have steam
boat connection with Portland and Boston.
This is not enough, however, for smart
business men.

them TO be earnest, energetic. and decided
ly smart men. They have business enter
prise and business capacity equal, think,
10 any men in the State of Maine.
When the Shore Line Road is completed.
your business men will invest more largely
in manufactures of various kinds. and
they will be successful in inducing capital
lists to avail themselves of the advantages
offered by the water power that is found in
almost every town In Hancock and Wash
ington Counties. The marvel is. that YOU
have lived SO long. and prospered so well
without road.
You must admit the fact, that many OF
your smart young men, q don't mean 'fast''
young mem have left Eastern Maine be-
cause they have become sick and tired"
of the slow coach. Just give your young
men fair chance in the race of life. and
they will not 90 West. You must bring
the railroad TO your young men. or they
will 90 where the railroad is.
Outsiders often speak of the benefits
that will result 10 your city. from IA rail-
road connection with the rest of New
England

expect much help IRON Bangor. But Mr.
Editor. YOU can help yourselves. IL is
sometimes necessary for men to be brought
into tight places" before ii will be known
what they are capable of doing.

with his family and in the act OF helping
his little son, his head suddenly fell back,
and before his wife could get to his side,
and before medical aid could be summoned,
he was dead. it is supposed that heart
disease or apoplexy was the cause. Citizens
are generally excited aud much sorrow is
expressed on all sides.

STEVENSON AND SPEAKER BLAINE
There was spicy hour before the Credit
Mobilier investigation Friday, caused Dy
Stevenson summoning Speaker Blaine
again before the Committee to inquire
about the Speakers railroad stock. The
Speaker gave Mr.. Stevenson pretty
sharp reception. Mr.. S. asked that the
COburns of Maine be summoned. Mr..
Blaine had no objections; he had nothing
but open business transactions with them.
The committee didn't deem it needful.
Stevenson is making sad spectacle of
himself.
The defeat Of Senator Sherman's bill
postpones indefinitely the day Of resuming
specie payments. A combination of inter-
ests seems to have been formed against
the measure, and we are once more assur-
ed that, Notwithstanding their clamor for
resumption, there are many public men
who really desire nothing Of the sort. This
is a miserable conclusion to the long debate
on the subject.
