Saturday morning five young men-Stephen
Hall, aged %, of Gray, Wendall Small, aged
%, Vinton Frank, aged %, Frank Houston and
Augustus Houston, aged % and %, of West
Gray-went out in boat on Sebago Pond.
About noon the boat was upset, and Messrs
Hall, Small and Frank Houston were drowned,
while Vinton Frank and Augustus Houston
were saved in a very exhausted condition.
1t seems that after sailing around for a
while the sail became disarranged and Mr..
Hall climbed up the mast to fix it, when a
squall upset the boat. The pond was searched
until late hour at night without finding the
bodies. Yesterday morning the search was
renewed, and the bodies of Small and Houston
were recovered 1t is estimated that upwards
of 1000 people visited the scene of the sad
accident during the day. The search for the
body of Hall will be renewed to-day. The
deceased were young men of good character
and well known in the vicinity, and their un-
fortunate death has cast gloom of sadness
over the entire community.

TAKEN In BY AN OLD CONFIDENCE GAME
Daniel Getchell of Oldtown, went to Boston
Friday and was met at the Eastern railroad
station by man who said he also belonged in
Oldtown. The two entered into conversation
and began walk up town. On the way man
came up to Getchelfs new acquaintance and
told him that his goods had been shipped, and
presented bill for $110. Getchelrs acquaint.
ance took out what appeared to be twenty dol.
lar gold pieces, but the other man would take
them only at par, and this did not suit Getch-
ellis companion, so he turned to Getchell AMI
oHering thousand-dollar gold certificate as
security borrowed $40 from him. The two
men went into saloon to settle their business
ABOUT the goods. as they told Getchell, and
have not been seen Since 1t is needless to re.
mark that the certificate was worthless.

A FRAcAs.-Last evening three young men
named James McGlinchy, James Dougher and
Flaherty, went into Kimball's saloon on Ex-
change street. and called for oysters. The fell
lows were evidently not anxious to be satisfied
and they took occasion to find fault With nu-
merous things. At last they were determined
to raise row and commenced by accusing Mr..
Hussey, the clerk, of cheating them out of
fifty cents the night before. Upon disputiug
this, the three set upon Mr.. Hussey, to clean
him out, as they expressed it. He knocked
two of them down, when the third threw a
dish at his head. By this time Mr.. Higgins of
the Argus arrived and took charge of dish
singer, while Hussey with other help put the
other two out of the shop. AS he locked the
door one of them broke pane of glass and
was repaid for his trouble by blow in the face
from Oliver. Mr.. Higgins then pushed his
man out of the door and comparative quiet
reigned. The police have the names of the
trio and will shortly arrest them. This is the
trio employed in distributing beer about the
city at night. Mr. Hussey had his hand badly
cut with glass during the seuabble.

The President Iuv;ted 10 v;.;, Q

The President Invited 10 Visit Portland.
Saturday afternoon Mayor Butler telegraphed
the appended despatch to President Hayes who
is now the guest of Secretary Evarts at his sum-
mer residence at Windsor, VT:
Hon. VIM E. Eodrts, Secretary of State, Wind
Sor, vt:
1t would be truly gratifying to the citizens of
the commercial capital of Maine, to have the
opportunity to pay their respects to the Presi-
dent, Mrs. Hayes, yourself. and other members
of his suite. When at Conway he would be but
a short distance from our city, and could take
Portland on his way to Concord, or perhaps
visit Portland after his reception at the latter
city.
Will you have the goodness to extend to the
President most cordial invitation to this eff
feet? M. M, BUTLER. Mayor.
No reply has yet been received, but it is quite
likely that the invitation will be accepted A
member of the Governors staff mentioned
the subject while at Bennington and received
assurances that the President would be happy
to visit this city the last Of the present week.

Kenn.bec Valley Camp Meeting

This session Of religious gatherings which
ends this morning with social service, has
been conducted in very prasworthy manner
and attended with excellent success. Despite
the inauspicious weather the attendance has
far exceeded that of former years. The state
of the elements last Saturday was such that an
immense concourse Of people assembled on the
grounds.
The morning prayer meetings in the society
tents were of usual interest. The people COL
lected in the tabernacle at ten o'clock and lis
tened attentively to pointed discussion by
Rev. Mr.. Sanderson of Waterville, finding his
text in Matt. s, II and 12-"And I say unto
you that many shall come, &c."
The doctrine of the text is the separation in
the world to come of those who reject Christ
from those who accept Him. Who has reveal
ed the world to come? Many have coniectured
in regard to it; Christ alone has spoken with
authority. Some believe in the Immortality of
the soul but renounce the teaching Of the
Bible upon the subject. They array the specu
atoms of reason and the instincts of human
nature against the voice Of revelation. Many
reject the doctrine of eternal punishment be-
cause it is revolving. Shall the sympathies and
wishes of the heart or the word of
God be authoritative upon this point. He who
revealed the glories of heaven has opened to our
vision the portal which leads down to despair
Portions Of scripture were read in support of
the fact that there is world of woe as well as
world of happiness.
Following in the same strain of the sermon
were brief remarks by Rev. VIM. II. Foste,
and Rev. L. 81. Bean. The service closed with
a season of earnest prayer
A large congregation gathered about the
speakers stand for the first outdoor service al
half-past one p, IN. Rev. l.. Ell. Bean of Bath
preached an excellent sermon from the words
"God so loved the world that He gavesHis only
begotten Son, that whatsoever beleveth in Him
should not perish, but have everlasting life."
1t is evident from the text: first that Goo
loved the world before the atonement; second
that the atonement was the method adopted in
his love to save men from condemnation
third, that universal salvation would result but
for the unbelief of men. There are two propo
sitions OF infinite worth growing out of tn
text, viz: first the atonement was for all
second, salvation experienced that saves from
sin is conditional 1t is by faith in the atone
ment and By obedience to Christ who made
it that persons who have arrived at the years o.
accountability, are saved. That these are tht
essential conditions of salvation is proven by
observation and all true Christian experience.

A VALUABLE INvENTIoN.-The freight-train
brake lately invented by Boston inventor
named Guy has been perfected on the Boston &
Maine railroad. A chain runs the length of
each car, connecting at the middle with an
iron elbow acting by a connecting rod on a
short cross-lever over the truck. The lever
pulls on vertical bar which has the inside
brake for a fulcrum, and rod to the outside
brake of the truck make the latter the resis-
lance, thus pulling both brakes taut. These
chains couple from car to car, connecting. with
either the engine or caboose. A ''blind" drum
to which the chain is attached, rests on ca
boose or engine-axle, and by lever action can be
frightened SO as to revolve with the axles, thus
winding up the chain and tightening the
brakes. These may be frightened enough to
Slide the wheel on the rail. The cost is $12
per car and for the lever attachment $50. This
will hardly do away with brakemen, as there
must be men to handle freight. But riding on
car-roofs will be abolished except for switching
and if some machine can be invented to obvi-
ate danger in coupling cars. the brakeman's
safety will be pretty we'll assured.
