ASHORE IN A FOG.

The Steamer Mount Desert Grounded on
w Lamoine Point.
Especial to the Press.l
ELLSWORTH, Aug. 13.-This morning the
steamer Mount Desert on its way from Sullivan
to Rockland, was reported ashore on Lamoine
Point, near Lamoine Landing in Frenchman's
Bay The bay at this point is smooth water
and it is supposed, for there are no particulars
as yet received as to the cause of the accident
or the extent of the damage done, that the
-teamer went ashore ON account of the dense fog
lay along the coast last night. dispatch
ON Rockland received here states that the
captain of the City of Richmond reports that he
heard the whistle of the Mount Desert for some
time before she grounded land that she was
clearly going at very slow rate so that, consi-
dering the nature of Lamoine Point where she
grounded the steamer could not have sus-
tanned any serious damage. The Mount De-
sert is Bath built steamer and belongs to the
Bangor & Machias Steamboat Co.
A later dispatch states that the damage sus-
tanned will not prove to be serious matter,
but that the steamer will not be put on the
line again for several days.

This same Troup honored Houlton with his

Somehow the people of Houlton don't take to

turn to old-time prosperity, and are content to
let we'll enough alone.-Aroostook Pioneer.

or say 35c cash for Xxx Ohio, has created rather
unsettled feeling here for that description, but me-

ANOTHER DEFAULTER.
The Fall River Linen Company Loses

The Fall River Linen Company Loses
100000 by a Dishonest Treasurer.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 13.-Rumors which have
been prevalent here the past few days concern
ing the financial embarrassment of another
mill treasurer refers to Walter Paine, treas
urer of the American Linen Company, who
has been dealing in futures, and the mill has
lost to an amount somewhat exceeding a nun
bred thousand dollars. A meeting of stock
holders will be called next week. His trans
actions are similar to those of Geo. B. Durfee
at the Mechanics mill, who is his brother-in-
law.
FALL RIVER, Aug. 13.-The confirmation OF
the rumors concerning the Irregularities OF
Walter Paine Sd, treasurer OF the American
Linen Company, fell with terrible force upon
this already much afflicted city. very little
additional information has been gathered this
afternoon and evening, as the directors are
very reticent and will make no statement UNI
til after a meeting OF the stockheldefs Inc
defalcation will not reach 100000 He did
not buy so much cotton as his brother-in-law
Durfee but held on longer and lost more. A
director said Paine admitted to him having
lost in cotton speculation and that the mill
was heavily involved. meeting OF the stock
holders is to be held Wednesday and in the
meantime the books are to be overhauled and
a statement of the loss sustained will be made
Nothing reliable can be expected before that
date. 1t is said that the cotton was bought in
the name of the mill, although without the
knowledge of the directors.
Paine has been treasurer since the incorpo-
ration of the mill in 1852. He holds many inn
portant offices in the city. He for several
years was in both branches Of the city council
and was one time president OF the board OF
trade He is treasurer of the American Linen
mills, trustee of the Fall River Savings Bank,
director of the Metacamet National Bank and
Fall River Granite Co., trustee OF the Pubic
Library, and one of the trustees under the new
management of the American Print Works.
He was one of the most active members OF the
First Baptist church, and a former president
of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation, and always has been actively
engaged in mission work in this city. Mr..
Paine has always been considered one of the
most upright men in the city and noted for his
conservatism. 1t is thought tonight his book
keeper has never seen the cash book, the bal
ances being given to him by Paine. He said
he had several fainting fits recently and seems
to be utterly overcome by the turn affairs have
taken and declines to be interviewed.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-The Herald devotes
four columns to recent developments in the
Stewart grave robbery. 1t says that in jan
uary Nassau street lawyer received letter
from Montreal by way of Boston, signed ''Ro-
maine," enclosing a retainer of 800 and ask
ing him to take charge of negotiations with
Mr. Hilton for the return of the body, which
was offered for quarter of a million dollars.
He also received by express, as evidence of the
good faith of the writer the silver knobs and
parts of the handle of Stewards coffin and the
coffin plate. The lawyer communicated the
facts to the police, but assured Judge Hilton
and Mrs. Stewart that the only way the body
could be recovered was by the payment of the
quarter of million demanded. Judge Hilton
declined to negotiate.
