The bark Ella Hawson, which sailed from st.
Johns, n. F., on the 9th Of February, arrived in
Portland, Thursday. Capt. Green reports that
while in the Gulf Of St. Lawrence during show
er, the bark was struck by lightning and all of the
crew were parayzed and one of them was killed
outrig ht. Seeing the shower coming the captain
went below to get his oilcloth clothing, and while
there heard report on deck. Rushing up quick
ly he found his entire crew stretched out on the
deck. He went to them and found one whose face
was perfectly black and life extinct. The others
attempted to arise but would at once fall back
perfectly helpless. After some time they all re-
vived except one, who is now on the bark nearly
helpless, one side being paralyzed. The name of
the man killed was not learned. He belonged in
Windsor.

The Eastern Question.

LONDON March 8. The Russian Geographic
agency confirms the statement of the memorial
diploma,ique that England has proposed to give
the Porte time to carry out reforms.
A special from Berlin states that the Porte has
already prepared note Of presentation on the con
clusion Of peace with Montenegro pointing out
that Russian mobilization is obstacle to reform
and financial reorganization in Turkey.
England is using strong arguments to dissuade
the Porte from presenting the note.
A Vienna special says the Porte has made con-
fdental communications to the powers as . feeler
to find out the probable effect OF such vote, but
it must be aware by this time of the opinion of the
powers that such vote could only serve to com
plicstc matters and precipitate q crisis.
1t is reported London is the special object OF
IgratiehTs mission. That mission is doubtless con-
nected with confidential negotiations which have
been carried on lately between London and St.
Petersburg, with the object Of inducing and enab-
ing Russia to give up at least defer, hostilies.
Whether the efforts in this direction will be fully
successful or not, a respite has been gained so
that apprehension Of immediate hostilities may be
dismissed.

The Mayor made the following report of the
settlement of the suit Of Lucinda Scrbner VS.. the
city for $jOO0.0O;
To the Board Of Aidermen and Common Council:
have the honor to report to YOU the final settle
ment of the suit of five thousand dollars brought
against the city of Augusta by Lucinda Scrihner.
The facts and circumstances of the settlement
were briefly as follows; A few days before the
case was to be tried learned that the plaintiff
was public charge, and had been more or less for
twenty-five years, and that at the time of her al
legged injury on the first of March, 1874, she was
receiving a weekly allowance from the Overseers
of the Poor. In company with Thomas Fuller,
ESQ, chairman of the Overseers Of the Poor,
went to the house of Mrs. Scribner, and inquired
of her how much she expected to recover from the
city. She answered readily that she expected at
least five hundred dollars, for her LAWYERS had taxi
en- the case at the halves, and they thought they
could obtain at least one thousand dollars verdict.
If the verdict should be over the sum of one thous
| and dollars, her attorneys were to have only one
| third of the excess over one thousand. Mrs.
| Scrbner was informed that if she obtained only
| $500 as her share of the verdict, the city would
trustee it away from her and apply it to the pay
ment of part of her cost to the city the last six
years-whereupon she became anxious to settle
the case without going to court. She appeared
very anxious to effect settlement, but before
| anything further was done, proposed to her at
torneys to pay their fees in the suit if they would
| drop it, and allow the city TO have no further
trouble with the case. This they declined to do
and acting nnder the advice Of the City Solicitor

sis of an enforcement of the 18th, l4th and 18th
amendments to the constitution of the United
States. 1t must proceed upon the basis Of grant
Jog protection to life and liberty and to the polti-
cal rights of all classes without regard to color or
politics. There can be no compromise, no peace
which is not based on the political and civil rights
of all classes of men. While there shall be such
protection to life and liberty then there will be

who deemed that the city had no defence to the
case, l effected an amicsble adjustment of the
whole case with Mrs. Scribner herself for the sum
of Sl50,-the City Solicitor advising that settle
ment by the city paying $500, would be adyan-
ering the experience of the city with the courts in
similar cases the past year.
Upon the payment Of the sum of $3.50, Mrs
Scrbner released the city from all further liability
or trouble in the case. Under the circumstances
did not deem it incumbent upon the city TO pay
the attorneys nything.
