w aldo County.

The Democrats of Waldo have reason
to be proud of last Mondays work, for
they have made it a Democratic county
Gen. Roberts has q majority of So. Every
Democratic candidate in the county is
elected, by majorities as follows-Estes
for Senator has 50; White for Senator has
10; Fowler for Commissioner has SO
Moody tor Treasurer has 125. The full
and accurate returns which we publish
elsewhere will tell the story in detail. The
large towns have been the ones in which
the principal gain has been made. The
Democrats of Belfast worked nobIy, gain
ing 210, and giving Roberts a majority OF
2. Stockton makes probably the largest
per cent gain, standing sc better than
last year on a total vote of Bill Frankfort,
Winterport, jackson and Searsmont have
also done well.
In the Legislative representation of the
co-nty the gain is very gratifying. The
TWO Senators, White and Estes, with John
T. Rowe in the Frankfort district, Isaiah
Gould of Brooks. Stephen P. Marden OF
Palermo, VIM. Z. Cooper of searsmont,
and VIM A. Pendleton of Northport, make
up an excellent delegation. 1t is matter
of regret that Mr.. Bean could not have
been returned from Belfast, but the family
connection and persistence of the Pitchers

averse to blowing his own horn.

A Propeller Founders on Lako Mich

CHICAGO, Sept. II.
A most terrible disaster, arising from
the great storm on Thursday night, comes
to light this morning, disaster involving
the loss of the propeller Equinox, with all
on board, y persons, not one of whom is
known TO have escaped There Were two
passengers on board, and the captain and
crew consisting of nineteen men. The
captain was Dwight Scott of Cleveland
The two passengers were Miss Minnie
Scott, the captains daughter, aged 10
Years, going home, and Miss Hattie Scott
aged II, granddaughter. Captain Scott
was about 60 years of age The names of
the crew are not known. The Equinox
started from Saginaw for Chicago on Sun
day evening last. laden with salt, consign-
ed to Mr.. Stewart of this city. She was
near Point au Sable, about $50 miles from
Chicago, when she went down.
The story OF the disaster is told by Cap
tain Lush of the schooner Emma A. Mayes
cr was being lowed by the propeller up
to a few minutes before she went down.
The storm struck the lake with great
violence, but the vessels ploughed their
way without misfortune until , o'clock
Friday morning, The fury of the storm
was terrible, and it seemed several times
as though certain destruction awaited
them. No signs, however, came from the
Equinox that all was not right on board.
Her speed was very much retarded. but
she held to her course and steamed ahead.
The night was pitch dark and the waves
We're running high. The storm created
such a fearful din as to make it almost
impossible to hear anything, while the
lightning only afforded Il glimpse of the
scene. They were off Point au Sable about
= o'clock Friday morning, when Capt
lusk heard voice from the propeller
shouting, Cast of your line" which was
Immediately followed by the cries Of wo-
men. For a few seconds all was still The
crew of the Mayes were meanwhile loos-
mo the line, when shrieks of women from
the propeller were again heard, sounding
To those on board the schooner as though
they cried, I'VE are drowning.n The
line was already loosened and connection
between the two vessels thereby severed
when suddenly as Capt Lusk was peering
through the darkness at the rcceding pro-
peller, ii appeared to tip, and almost be-
fore he could move the immense craft dis
appeared from SIGHT beneath the Kissing
waters
The lost steamer was owned by the
Grand Trunk and Sarnia line The YES
sci was very Old and rated very low in
point Of safety. Besides the large cargo
Of salt, nearly COCO barrels, there was a
deck load OF lumber, far more than she
WAS capable Of carrying.
The Engineer had protested against her
overloading, but was induced to 60 with
the vessel in spite of his conviction that
She was unsafe. The cargo was llucd at
$4,000 and insured for $1,000 1t is stated
this evening that there were either a or
- persons on board, and it is believed
that not one could have been saved.

History and Humbug,

BURNIIA1, Sept. 18th.
Mr.. Editor | notice in your issue Of
June 18th, that you gave one David b.
Carr Of this town a gratuitous notice as
Agent for Abbot's History of Maine Now
did you know that part of the business
of this same Carr, who is perambulating
the country and particularly this County,
is the circulation of such libelous political
documents as the one enclosed? And this
too even upon the Sabbath day? Do you
countenance such scandal? If so give
him another free notice and advise all
your democratic subscribers to patronize
him. JUSTICE.
The fact was noticed in the Journal that
Carr was agent for the History, but we
didn't know that he was q double barrel
led perambuator of the kind described
Our correspondent is reliable man, and
we think. if Carr desires to circulate such
dirty anonymous documents rs the one
sent to us, that he had better be left in
that business, and in other respects he
should be let severely alone, especially by
Democrats
