Some time since we referred TO a model steam
engine and boiler manufactured by the Wal
Brothers-Afiel c., and c. Greenleaf-sous ol
Ariel Wall, Esq, of this city. They have now had
built to order by Mr.. c. B. Harrington of Bath, Il
boat twenty-obe feet long and three feet eight
inches ldc, IN which they propose to place theil
engine and boiler, with. a propeller attachment ;
thus pCrfecting one Of the staunchest neatest and
swlllest steam yachts ever constructed. The boat
and weighs l75 pounds and with engine, boiler
and attachments will only way about 800 pounds
The entire arrangement Will be model Of skull
perfection and beauty.
Capt. Henry Swanton Of this city, informs us
that whle proceeding down the river recently in
his fishing schooner, his companion accidenty fell
overheard; and by cachns hold of SWAntOn
dragged him over the side of the schooner. when
both sank to the bottom. SwantOn being u
good swimmer succeeded in saving himself and
although it required his utmost exer-
ton to do SO. We should judge from the account
given that tn is was one OF the narrowest escapes
IRON drowning on record.
The Hallowell Classical and Scientific Academy
commenced the fall term on Tuesday last. with en-
c0uraglng prospects. Our city schools also give
promise OF a profitable term. The facilities for
thorough education offered IN this CITY, cannot be
surpassed by any locality in the state.
Business prospects in this city seem more en-.
couraging than for months past, aud teams from
the country multiply daily. Maiketmen can al
ways depend upon our traders for quick sales and
lemune:ative prices, and dry goods, groceries,
&c, are sold at the lowest market prices.

scenes of a Battle
Field.
ACTIVE MILITARY OPER.
ATOMS EXPECTED.
Mediation Considered Probable.

LONDON, September 4. A special correspond.
ent at Psredin. September lst telegraphs: l re-
visited the battle field when the Pelisat affair was
over. The Turks left very few wounded, and
only about three hundred dead Oh the field Their
losses could be better judged by the number of
knapsacks with which the ground was strewn in
'front.' oil the Russian trenches, half way between
Pelisat and Segalance.
The Turkish dead were lying so close thew
might have shaken hands with Russians living be-
side. The attack was made so quick the Russian
redoubt was taken almost by surprise. Il would
have been much better for Gen. Zatoff to have re-
treated and drawn the Turks out into the open
country, where their happiness at executing man
oeuvers on the field of battle would have put them
at great disadvantage with the well drilled Rus
sian troops.
The Russian official despatch dated Gorny Stu
deni, 80 this forenoon, says Lovatz was yester.
day taken by assault by the Russian troops under
Generals Meretinsky and Schacloff. No details
were given.
The next week promises to be a bloody one
Summer is going, and decisive results become
every day OF more importance, for there are indi.
cations, financial. political and social, which point
against the probability of continuance of war into
another campaign.

NEW YORK, September 4. Cable dispatches
say the friends OF Russia in high quarters in Eng

II Is thought under present circumstances that
Russia will not repel the good offer of other pow
ers IN favor OF peace, and Turkey will not require
concessions.

Has Augu.t lost her T. terp i,.!

The little town OF Wl-ca'set, with pppuls-
ton of 1913, and valuat on of $3.50, jji IN 1870
has just voted to subscribe Sj00OO to the stock of
the Wiscas,ct narrow gauge railroad, aud the
subscription has been made.
That town had loaned to the Knox X Lincoln
a large sum for its means, some $500 we think
which was secured by mortgage, but the mort
gage fails to indemnify them, and the town now
prefers to take stock aud have a voice in building
and managing the new road. Contrast this with
Augusta, with population of 1893 and a galua-
ton of 81 SSl ,l3j in 1870 and never lost dollar
in her aid TO railroads. now hesitating and becOm-
ing excited over an application to subscribe
$50, 200 to a road nineteen miles on the narrow
gauge to Somerset county, there to connect with
twenty-five mile road already constructed to be
placed on the same gauge, which new road will
not cost over 500 600, and owning three fouTths
OF the stock, augusta can control the building
and running OF the road The city will surely
lose It's prestige for enterprise and discernment if
it should lalter now.
If there is great er interest here in our midst
than the interest of the city, which is to overrule
and control all city action for its own private ends
which is TO make the interest of the public sub
servcnt to the private interest of few, it should
be known and recognized that the public may bo "
TO its high behest or by united an determined
action burst the bands with which it has attempt
ed to bind us. Let us all unite and by vigorous
effort emulate the little town of Wiscasset, and
this day by the small pittance asked of us,
the railroad enterprise SO important and necessary
to the future development Of our city.

emOcratic Demo nst ration.

The Tilden 4, usves of Portland, and the Iou-
aves of Brunswick, both organizations numbering
in the aggregate eighty men bearing torches, with
the Portland Band, came to the city last evening
at eight o'clock, for the purpose Of serenadng
Hon. Joseph ii. w illiams, the democratic candi-
date for Governor. The line was formed soon ar-
ter the arrival of the train, and headed by pa
toon of our democratic citizens, marched through
some of the principal streets, Along the route a
few of the residences were illuminated, no elabor-
ate work of the kind being attempted except in
two or three instances, in case of Judge Ricc's
and b. f. Parrott's. Fireworks were let off, and
q bonfire was lighted in the court house square
The Zouaves cheered when opposite the residenc-
es of prominent democrats, and received a few
words of congratulation as they halted at Z. f.
Plllsbury's. They then proceeded to the east side
of the river, where the large grounds exhibiting
in some measure the ample wealth OF Mr.. Viii
hams, were beautifully illuminated by Chinese
lanterns and locomotive headlights, and finely
decorated. The Zouave companies marched to
the mansion and took up their position in front of
stand erected for the occasion, large number
of citizens crowdng up in the rear The Band
PLAYED Hail to the Chief" when three cheers
were given for "Hon j. II. Williams, the next
Governor of Name" This brought sardine
smile to the countenance of Mr.. Pillsbury, who
was present.
Mr.. Williams was cheercd, as he appeared, and
on taking the stand proceeded to address the /ou-
aves and citizens. He said that, turning in from
the highway into this secluded spot, they had
found no gate or barrier of any sort, to prevent
anv one from coming here. He extended a hearty
welcome to all. This may seem strange after the
personal detractions he had received from the
newspapers, which had represented that he car
ried ice in his bosom. There is a subtle truth IN
that German proverb which says: "He who sees
my park sees into my heart" and remembering
how far some had come to see him, he hoped all
the more earnestly that their visit may result in
nothing less than mutual pleasure aud confirmed
esteem.
He then proceeded to read written speech de-
voted entirely to the defence Of his Interpretation
of the second resolution of the democratic plat
form, and in reply to Marcellus Emery. This
was accompanied by frank avowal of the wis
dom OF President Hayes southern policy. While

Death of Theirs.

LONDON, September 4. The attack which car
ried OFT Theirs, was what is called in France,
apoplepic faudrayante. He was apparently in
good health in the morning, and took his usual
walk. After lunch he felt symptoms of illness
which speedily developed into apopectic fit.
lie remained unconscious, apparently without
pain.
No event short of a communist rising could
create so profound an mpre ssion throughout
France. Its effect on the present political crisis
cannot yet be properly weighed.
PARIS, September t. 1t is impossible to con-
vey an idea of grief and constenation which pre-
vailed at the death of Theirs. This forenoon the
news spread like wild fire and even at a early
hour, although the weather was very incement,
the streets were filed with people in great excite
ment. Some were actually shedding tears. All
were giving vent TO feeling of grief and appre-
hension. The death of Theirs just now being re-
garded by all a national calamity. The deceas
ed had been staying the last few weeks at Pavil-
lion Henri Quatre, at st. GERMAN, en- laye, and
had caught a slight cold, but nothing led to an
anticipation OF the sudden termination of his
eventful career.
The death of Thiers made a great impression
in political circles. The conservatives think it as
sures their success at the elections. Great con
sternation prevails in the republican camp.
