The Press says 1T will be remembered
that on the morning after the recent storm
| the announcement was made that deck
load Of lumber came through Ship Channel
| and foAted down harbor. Various coniect-
ures were then made as TO whence ii came.
A man from Peaks Island reported yester-
day that the rudder, spars and large guam
! tiiy Of rigging ard debris OF vessel had
foated ashore at the lower end OF that is-
land, while q great quantity OF hemlock
boards were scattered over the back side OF
| Bangs Island. THIS proves conclusively
that the vessel wrecked could not have
beer the one that went ashore at Biddeford
Pool. The cargo indicated that the craft
came from Bangor or Ellsworth. She was
probably lumber schooner bound west,
OF between 20 and $50 tons burden, and
carried . crew OF three or four men.
Whether any escaped TO ever tell the tale
Of shipwreck Is improbable. None Of the
wreckage is marked In any way SO As to af-
ford clew to the crafts name or hailing

ORGANIZATION OF NEAL Dow LODGE
l. o. G. T.-For some time past the neces-
sity has been felt, Of a temperance organi-
zatlor in Ellsworth which should unite all
classes, and all phases Of temperance work,
In an enduring union; one, which should
possess in itself the elements of stability
and per manency, draw to II more thorough
ly the sympathy and active cooperation Of
the prevailing temperance sentiment Of
Hancock County, and constitute the tenn
perapce element Of Ellsworth . part OF .
popular and world wide Temperance Or
ganization. The League and Reform Club
with the Ladies' Aid Society have been the
means Of accomplishing = grand work for
Ellsworth, and it has been thought very
desirable to make that work permanent.
constantly recognized the valuable aid to
the cause Of temperance OF the Reform
Clubs throughout the State. and inculcated
the most active sympathy and cooperation
! of it's members and subordinate lodges. but
these clubs seem by their very nature to
be far better adapted to . preparatory
work, than to the persistent year after year
varying efforts that are necessary to insure
permanency; they may be compared to the
itinerant missionary, and mission schools
which prepare the way for the establish
ment of the churches which may exist til l
the end of time. The propitious time seem .
ing at length to have arrived for action, a
number of persons presented petition for
q Charter from the Grand Lodge of Maine,
meeting WAS held at Temperance Hall on
Thursday evening Dec, l2th. Rev. Jos.
II. Taylor District Deputy G. W. C. T. at
tended, and. assisted by other members Of
the order, initiated number OF ladies and
gentlemen, organized lodge. and installed
its officers. The new Lodge was named
"Neal Dow" In honor Of the pioneer OF
temperance reform and legislation in
Maine. May every member of the new
lodge be inspired with the indomitsble
spirit of its namesake!
