Loss OF a CALAIS VESSEL Schooner
Mary G. Reeves of Calais, was undoubt-
edly the vessel before reported wrecked
from Labrador for New York, with a car

Sable Island writes as follows, under date
OF Oct. 18th: son the 10th we had very
heavy gale of wind from the southwest
late in the afternoon. Morrison saw a
large two topmast schooner on the north
west bar, about three-quarters Of a mile
from the end OF the dry bar; she was in
the breakers, the sea breaking half-mast
high over her. He also says he thought
he could see three OF four men in the rig
ging. She was reported to me at half
past / O'Clock A. NJ Immediately placed
the rocket gear in the cart and proceeded
to the West end When we arrived at the
bar it was very dark and we made an at
tempt to go out on the bar, but when we
got out halt a mile the sea was breakin inc
over 1t, so we were surrounded with wa
ter and mad to return to the lighthouse,
where we remained until daybreak next
morning. We then made another attempt
to go out on the bar, the sea still breaking
over it, but we succeeded in WadinG out
to the end of the bar. When we arrived
there the vessel was was not to be seen,

The Boston journal says of the Buck>uort
murder: "Detcctive Moses Sargent oi Boston
who, by order of Atty. ten. Emery at Maine,
has had the investigation of the triple murder OF
the Trim family in liurhsport, reports that there
is not Il shadow of Il doubt that the prisoner,
f.. NJ. Smith, now confined i'll Jail at Ellsworth,
was the sole perpcLrator Of that terrible deed
and when the public becomes acquainted Wlln
all the facts known to the officers, there VIII
not be reasonable doubt left in the mint nt
any one.
The circumstances Of the mur,irc. which
cured ON the 18th of October last, have never
been fully given 10 the public. They were uG
the most ticndish and atrociou> character, sell
dom if ever paralleled in the history of crime
in this country. The murdered persons, Mr.
Robert Trim, - years old, his daughter, Mrs.
1hayer, Il widow aged 32, and her little daugh-
ter, Josie, 1 years old, lived i'll lonely house
some six miles from Bucksport and in Il thlulN
settled district.
ON the evening of the murder Mrs. Thayer
had been visiting some neighbors not far from
her home, and left them to return home al
about x O'Clock. This was the last that was
ever seen of her or any of the inmates Of her
house alive. Not far from midnight, the house
was seen to he on fire, and before the scatter
ing neighbors could collect, 1t was entirely CON
sumed The barn, which was connected with
the house, was also burned, assistance reaching
the place in time barely to rescue the stock. In
tbs morning traces of blood were discovered
about a dozen rods from the barn, leading To-
the barn. The surroundings of the place ind-
Gated that Mrs. Thaycr had met her murderer
there and that there had been Il struggle, in
which she had been pounded To death with
fragment of Il rock, which was found near the
place. Her body had then been dragged to the
barn, where the bones Were found. The Old
man had then evidently been deceived to the
barn and also murdered, and the buildings set
on fire to cover the traces of the crime. The
remains Of the little girl Josie We're found near
the place where the bed stood in the house, in-
dirating that she had been burned to death.
Mrs. Thayer was known to carry money with
her, in her bosom, and portions of her clothing,
evidently worn upon that part of her person,
were found torn in pieces at the place of her
murder
Ii is stated that two years ago he was con-
ccrned in an attempt to outrage little girl OF
IL years, but as he failed, no prosecution was
urged against him by her friends. His arrest
causes great excitement, and he finds very few
to say anything good of him or for him."

no murder. | ask does not the state disobey

hangs the murderer? You are probably aware
that quite a number have been hung that We're
innocent OF the crimes charged to them. Does
not that show that it is most heathensh Gus

Yours truly, |. NJ. JAMESON. JR.
If our correspondent will turn to the

a man has forfeited his life as conse-
quence OF crime, his execution is not

the lives OF such criminals are generally

it torbds the taking OF lite-and if the

trust in the Pacific railroad, and never
thought Of the sneaking wires alongside
The boys We're Willie iIaggerty and
Johnny Cohoon, 10th l'17 # ai>tuo or
thereabouts. They knew nothing Of the
world beyond what they had learned from
two girls - Julia Whitaker aud Ollie
Storey-about their own age, perhaps
younger. And these boys and girls made
up their world among themselves, and
dreamed of nothing besides. They all dis
appeared from Council Bluffs at the same
time. The Whittakels and Storeys were
visiting friends, and Miss Whitaker and
Miss Storey were schoollnates and as thick
as two thieves. Mrs. Whitaker missed her
daughter and went to find Julia at Mrs.
Storey's. Mrs. Storey was wondering
what had become OF Ollie, and supposed
she was at Whittaker's Then there was
tanned that Willie Haggerty and Johnny
Cohoon had bought four tickets to San
Francisco with s4OO, and taken the girls
on the trip with them. Here was a 90.
The wires were worked to head them off
Examining her effects Mrs Whitaker
found that certificate of deposit, which
she held on one of the banks, was gone.
1t was for 500 Inquiries at the bank re-
vealed the tact that said certificate had
been paid to Julia Whitaker on forged
order That's where the passage money
came from. The whole affair had a very
business-like appearance. The conductor
of the train telegraphed to the :.nNious
mothers that the parties Were on board,
and would be carefully watched w him
until an officer was authorized to take
them OFF. An officer at Cheyenne was
duly authorized. and that's where the
Pacific slope trip OF the Youngsters ended.
What will become of their dreams when
they get back to Council Bluffs is very
uncertain. This will depend upon whether
they have already dreamed them upon the
same pillow. 1t is almost pity to smash
such daring enterprise as this.
