The EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN
FAILUREs.-The Aroostook Pioneer says that
Messrs. johnson & Fair of Presque Isle have
been compelled to suspend in consequence of
the failure of the Jewett firm in St. John, as
well IS George X. Jewett of Bangor, with
whom they were intimately connected. This
firm did the largest business of any one in
Aroostook county. The same paper says that
there is a great deal of sympathy for G. X,
Jewett as we'll as the other members of that
firm who have been ruined in carrying forward
that great enterprise, the European and North
American Railway The Pioneer continues:
What most seriously affects the people of
Aroostook in connection with the above fail
ures, is the large amount of bills or drafts
known as "Jewett & Pitchers" now in the
pockets OF poor men who cannot afford to lose
the amount they purport to represent. They
were issued in the form and have the appear.
ance Of bank notes. but are simply a draft of E.
ID. Jewett of St. John, upon Jewett & Pitcher
OF Boston. They are OF the denomination of ST.
and 50 and So and have passed current in this
country during the last eighteen months.
Knowing the name of E. ID. Jewett to stand
A in Boston and elsewhere, With unb0unded
credit, and knowing also that these drafts wer
cashed at-slght when presented at the counter
of Jewett & Pitcher, or the National Bank of
Commerce, Boston, the people of Aroostook
felt as safe in taking them as though they
bore the promise to pay Of Uncle Sam himself.
During the past six months these sJewett &
Pitchers" have formed large per cent. of our
current funds, and no wonder that Fridays an
nouncement of the above failures fell like wet
blanket upon this community. Some of our
merchants had hundreds of dollars of these
drafts on hand, and from that down to small
sums, nearly every one who had money of any
kind having more or less of these bills. One
hard case was that of man from Marsardis, in
town Friday to purchase goods. Two hundred
dollars in Jewett's drafts was all the funds he
had with him. although he had at home two
hundred more OF the same sort. Town and
county treasUrers have received it for taxes tax
payers having nothing else in the form of
money to pay with Although the towns have
never authorized collectors nor treasarers to
take such paper for taxes, still it would be hard
on the treasurers to be obliged to suffer the loss
of the amount on hand
The question may be asked, how did this cur
rency obtain SO extensive circulation in Aroos-
took county? 1t was in consequence of large
lumber operations, to carry on which Jewett &
Go. furnished the means, besides an extensive
business of their own. Through the operators
this paper found its way into the pockets of
thousands of choppers, Transfers, toters aud
river-drvers, who scattered it all over the coun-
ty. Merchants took it in payment for goods
and sent it to Boston, where, until last week,
it was as good as greenbacks This is really
heavy blow to Aroostook and one which will
be seriously felt

GEN. DOW AT THE TEMPLE.-Accor3ing to
announcement Gen. Neal Dow was present at
Forest City Temple of Honor last evening, a
large number being present. and being called
upon he gave one of the most interesting and
felicitious of addresses upon the state of things
In England and the Uni ted Kingdom gener-
ally, relative to the progress of the temperance
reform there. The history of the permissve bill.
similar to our American local option law in
force in some states, was given, with vivid
ness very enjoyable. Many expected that he
would have given just such an expose of the
growing and fast changing sentiments of the
English people upon this subject on Monday
evening last. Ger. Dow thought that the last
defeat of the Liberal party was clearly attri
butable to its stand as not favoring the per-
missive bill, but he prophesied that that party,
with the noble Gladstone at it's head, will re-
turn to power with greatly increased maiorities
and public favor when it favors the permssive
bill. The poor and hard working people of
England, too, are awakening to the importance
of this subject, aud they are eschewing liquor
drinking habits and taking decided action by
the ballot in favor of their own interests Ger.
Dow noticed most decided change of public
sentiment in England, ireland, Scotland and
Wales, between 1857, the time Of his first visit,
and the present time.
Mr.. John r. Rigby, gentleman of English
birth, was also present, and he followed Gen.
Dow in a speech confrmatory Of the state
ments and sentiments of his predecessor, and
his remarks were also very interesting and elo

Daniel Randall of Saccarappa, and participated
in with great spirit by various members of the
conference.
at the afternoon session Mrs. A. c. Trafton
Corresponding Secretary of the w. f, M. So
ciety, addressed the conference with fervid
eloquence upon woman's duty in the mission
airy cause, and brought tears to the eyes of
many by pathetic, illustrative aud true Incl
dents concerning heather misery and degrade
ton. Mrs. Taylor of Portland, spoke on the
sams theme in words that were thrilling in
their effect upon the heart, after which resolu,
tons were passed expressing confidence in the
Woman's Foreign Mission Society, and In the
the good people of the Ferry for their hind
hospitality. The conference adjourned with
benediction by Rev. John Woodbury..

A note from Gen. Neal Dow says: 'sMr.
Dow at the City Hall on Monday night made
no remarks, as intimated in the PRESS of yes
terday morning, ''refecting upon the personal
character and habits of Mr.. Consul Murray"
Mr.. Dow said that Mr.. Consul Murray had
written to England that the Maine Law was
failure-that it led to secret drinking and
caused the liquors to be bad Mr.. Dow said
that he must accept the declarations of Mr..
Murray on these points as true-having no
knowledge whatever on those matters himself,
and MIR. Murray must be supposed to be we'll
informed upon them. If he was not well in
formed why did he say it? If he was well in
formed where is the reflection? Mr.. Murray's
letters were widely circulated in English pa

A FAMILY JAR.-Last evening officers Rice
and Garland were called into the house of Ned
Higgins in Staffords block to quell disturb
ance. On arriving at the room where the fam
lily were gathered they found things wonder
fully stirred.u The articles of furniture were
slung around the room and on the bed was the
head of the family badly cut up and covered
with blood. The officers took him to the sta
ton where he was washed, and it was found
that his upper lip was cut completely through
and his head had received several bad wounds
DR.. Webster was called and dressed his wounds
The man refused to tell who abused him so
fearfully, but the officers think that he had
gentle dispute with his wife, and she was
too much for him.

A MYSTERIOUS CAsE.-For several weeks
the police on the wharves have noticed fine
looking sloop yacht in the harbor watch APP
peared to be abandoned. No one was seen
around her in the day time, but at night she
often changed her mornings. She was recently
found near the Ferry landing and carried to
Sturdivant's wharf where she has remained
ever since. Her general movements have ex-
cited considerable comment among wharf
rats and early yesterday morning one of them
spoke to officer Mosely about her. The officer
reported the facts to Deputy Williams who
with officers Mosely aud Bethen boarded the
yacht. She was finely fitted up and her cabin
was elegantly furnished with all that goes to
make first class yacht comfortable The
name was off the stern and Bible was the
only book found on board. On the fly leaf of
the Bible was the name Harvey Ward, Bos-
ton" After looking the yacht over the Off
GERS went out to the west end and arrested
man who they had reason 10 believe knew
something about the yacht After arriving at
the station the man said that about four weeks
ago, when in Boston, a man named Frank
Chase engaged him as pilot to go on cruise
down east after junk, which he proposed to
ship by rail to Boston from the various ports
where he bought it. They left Boston in this
yacht at o'clock IN the morning and, with the
exception OF stopping at Gloucester ON accou mt
of fog, they proceeded to Richmond. The junk
plan failed, and the yacht came to Portland
where Chase paid off this man and cleared out
to Boston leaving the yacht deserted. The
man says he made the acquaintance of Chase
in the navy and that Chase lives at No. Low
ering Place, Boston.
1t is thought that the owners and crew of
this yacht have something to do with the rob-
berry of Harley & Co.'S store in Rockland last
week. The yacht came into the harbor the
day after the robbery was committed and one
of the men on her was seen with several pairs
of new boots and shoes which he offered to sell
at houses in the western part of the city. The
police are at work on the case.

CORRECTION. item in yesterday morn
ing's PRESS might lead persons to think that
Portland people were drinking queer water
from Sebago Lake. The absence of decimal
point made the trouble. The following i
tine item as it should read: "One gallon of Sc
bago Lake water contains 291S grains of solid
matter, as follows: Inorganic matter-Chloride
of sodium, sulphate of sodium, carbonates of
magnesa, of lime, &C., 1900. Organic matter
1.418; total 2 91S. State Assayer Bartlett made
the examination and he says that the water
will compare favorably with any water in the
world for purity

PLEASANT Enthusiastically Mr.. Charles
M. Thomas, the well known yachtman, gave
number of the reformed men of this city a
sail announg the islands. The day was happily
spent in sailing and visit to Evergreen, where
games and a good chowder gave variety to the
entertainment. Nothing occurred to mar the
pleasure, not even the forced bath of youag
Stokes who slipped overheard when boarding
the yacht. He declared water a splendid thing
for drinking, but rather cold for bathing.
Charley Choate was of the party and happier
than ever. His good looks, steady step, and
generally improved appearance astanished the
people who were wont to meet him there in
former days
