Mr.. William 81. Minton of Red Beach, the
only survivor of the crew of the wrecked Sears
port ship A. S. Davis, gives some additional
particulars of her loss Oct. 22d, the ship ran
into moderate gale and began to shorten sail.
At s O clock the wind had increased an l was
blowing furiously.. Sail was then shortened to
three lower topsals. The gale increasing, the
mizzentopsail was taken in and while engaged
in doing this the maintopsail was blown out of
the bolt ropes. At 1890 the ship was hove to
on the starboard tack, and got cast of the lead
in 81 fathoms of water. The ship struck heav-
lily at about o'clock. She had no sooner
touched bottom than the sea boarded her, maxi
ing clean breach fore and aft. When the sea
first struck her it burst in her stern works and
filled the vessel In less than five minutes from
the time that she grounded the captain and en-
tire crew went into the main and mizzen rig
ging, and inside of an hour she was a complete
wreck, with all her crew in the water. The
night was intensely dark, so much so that it
was almost impossible for me to see my hand
at arms length. When fell from the rigging
landed on the house (cabin), but being unable
10 obtain hold, got off and caught hold of the
vessels rail The next thing remember 1 was
lying on the beach considerably bruised. When
l went into the rigging had on my clothes, but
when Consciousness returned to me on the
beach had on only shirt. After getting out
of the surf | managed to get up and walk to
the beach hills, distance of about twenty or
thirty feet, where I dug hole in the sand and
covered myself up, with the exception of my
head, in order to obtain warmth. L remained
10 this position until daylight, when shortly
after emerging from my place of refuge was
discovered by Mr. John T. Atwood, patromau
of Life-Saving Station No. 2, who, after far

NUMBERING OPERATIoNs.-Ths Somerset
Reporter says that William Clark of Concord
has made arrangements to put in forty-five
men with teams, to cut lumber on Township
No. 4, Moose river, drawing it into Attean
pond. Bradstreet Brothers of Gardiner are to
have the logs. Other parties are making pre-.
paratioDs to put in numbering crews on the ap-
per Kennebec and Moose rivers. 1t is doubt
full whether the cut will be as large as last win
ter, but it is early yet to determine the amount
Of business to be done. We learn there are
signs of activity on the Penobscot water, and
many are preparing for the winters campaign
IN the forests Lumber rules very low, the de-
mand for lumber is limited, the foreign de-
maud for deals having greatly fallen off, but
the supply of logs in the booms is not large, so
there must necessarily be enough cutting done
to keep the mills along as they cannot stop
without disastrous sacrifices. Labor, hay
graio, -four. pork and all sorts of supplies and
materials that go in to make up numbering
operation are plentiful and cheap, and lumbsr
can be got in at very low figure.

KENNEBEC COUNTY.
A Life Insurance Question Answer

Lie Insurance question Answered.
The first questions asked by those proposing
to insure their lives, are: 'Is the company
sound and strong and its methods OF doing
business safe and Conservative" "Has Its
past history been such as to lead to the belief
that its strength will endure?'' The Equitable
Life Assurance Society is shown to be such a
company by the following illustration, which
proves that by careful and efficient manage
ment it has been able to introduce form of
policy which gives the fullest indemnity at the
lowest cost.
The holder of policy No. 1850, resident Of
West Virginia, insured June II, 1869; age, SO
amount, $4,000; annual premium, $736 90.
The Tontine period expired June II, 1878, at
which time an adjustment of the accumula-
tions was made. the insured electing to apply
the surplus or accumulations on his policy to
the purchase of life annuity of 1858 Ga, and
continuing his policy in force. His next
premium, when the annuity and the annual
dividend of $2l4.30 are deducted, win be only
$153.O6. This is equivalent to dividend of
over 70 per cent. of the annual premium. It
is safe to say that results like the foregoing
have never been achieved by any similar inst-
tuition.

THE HART MURDER.
mr. Meservty Contradicts Expert Dunton.

Mr. A, X. Meservey, on whom Mr.. A. R.
Duntop, the expert, threw suspc ion of being
the murderer of Mrs. Meservey, has been ia
terviewed by reporter of the Rockland Opin-
ion. Mr.. Meservey denies all Mr.. Dun toms
important statements in detail. He never saw
the anonymous letters on the strength of which
largely Hart was convicted, never wrote any
thing in the log book that Dunton has and on
the handwriting in which Dunton bases his
conclusions that Meservey wrote the anony-
nous letters, and never manifested any trepi-
dation when conversipg with Mr. Danton about
the matter.
Mr.. Meservey concludes his statement by
saying that two persons are living in ST.
George who separately wanted to gain admis-
sion to the house of Mr.. Luther Meservey,
while it was under guard, with no other per-
sons present, and before the body of the muir
dered woman was removed from it, and these
persons were not called as witnesses at the
trial. And also that party. other than Nath-
an f. Hart saw man with coat thrown over
his head passing on the street in that neigh
borhood. Beth Mr.. Meservey and his wife be-
lieve that Hart is innocent of the crime of
which he has been convicted.
Mr.. Meservey's reputation in the community
is good and no one of his neighbors entertains
the least suspicion that he had anything to do
with the murder of Mrs. Meservey.
Mr.. Dunton is to follow up his accusations
by another article in the Camden Herald this
week.
