We are informed by President Hersey of the
International Line that the reported severe
experience of the Falmouth on her trip to ST.
John was mistake. The Falmouth shipped
one heavy sea which broke light and threw
about bucketfull of water into the saloon. The
cargo did not shift but light box of freight
fell from pile of boxes and slightly bruised
Capt. Kent's-not Capt. Dana's-leg. Capt.
Kent walked off without any trouble. The
account published here came from telegraph
ic dispatch and was supposed to be correct.
The Falmouth arrived here yesterday morning
all right and proceeded to Boston.
Captain Hall in conversation with a reporter
said that he left Portland on time and pushed
the Falmouth along at lively rate hoping to
keep ahead of the gale which was then blow
ing from the east. The wind, however, veered
around to the southland, and for some hours the
steamer was exposed to the fury of a terrific
gale. No damage was sustained to any great
extent, though the saloon doors were dashed
in, window broken and a shutter or two
smashed to splinters by the shipping of heavy
sea. 1t was trying position for nervous pas
sengers, but the officers had every confidence
in the seamanship of her veteran commander

light, when, probably, leaking badly, the pilot
had put her ashore in the best possible posi-
ton 1t is supposed that the vessel was the
"Mary A. Kersten," which sailed from st.
John on Friday for Marseilles, though this
needs confirmation. Further on the Falmouth
passed quantity of floating deals, evidently
part of deckload carried away. The trip
down from Eastport was unimportant and the
Falmouth arrived at ST. John about 10 o'clock,
her passengers all grateful for having
weathered such a storm. Capt. Hall, when
asked if there were many vessels in danger
along the coast, said there was timely warning
of the coming storm and that vessels had
plenty of time to make port. If, however, any
ran out and were then caught by the change of
wind, their position was perilous one, as
they would be driven back on the coast.

How Gen. Hancock's Election will Affect
Maine Industries.

AS our readers already know, the stockhold-
ers Of the Lockwood Company have for some
time contemplated the erection of a new and
magnificent cotton mill in Waterville. The
stockholders were notified two weeks previous
, to our State election to meet on Thursday,
Sept. 10th, to consider the expediency of build
ing new factory. The meeting was held, but
the result Of the Maine election was SO disas-
trous and so discouraging to enterprise, that
no action was taken by the stockholders ex-
cept to refer the whole subject to he direct
ors
The directors met at Watervile on Wednes-
day, Oct. Goth, and in view OF the result of the
election in Ohso and Indiana, together with
the probable election of Garfield and Arthur,

$650,0CO to build new mill, giving them I'M
Til December to decide whether they will do
SO. This comes right square home as ''local
question to the people of Waterville. They
must see whether it is for their interest to vote
for or against such an expenditure for the ben

political but business standpoint. Far seeing
business men will not put out their money on
an uncertainty as to what will be the policy of
