THE ATRATo COMPANY.
Good Bye to the Expedition.

Yesterday the Atrato Mining Company got
"Joseph P. Macheca," and the moment they
got her at the wharf, all hands took hold and
lively scene followed. In short order they
slowed away eight tons of coal from Messrs.
Randall, McAllister g. Co., for the use of
their steamers upon the river Atrato and its
tributaries; the launch "Alice" and her COM
plete pumping, mining and propelling
machinery; all the upper sections of their
large steamboat "Millicent," the sluices,
rifles and mining lumber, anchors, naval
supplies, boats, canvas canoe, 81 900 worth of
provisions furnished by Messrs. W. L. Wilson
& Co., arms and ammunition, tools and hard
ware from Messrs. Emery, Warehouse g.
Co., surveyors, assayers' and miners outfits,
medical stores, personal luggage. galley outfit,
&C., &c. All that is left to be loaded is the
hull of the fat-bottomed, stern-wheel river
steamboat "Millicent," which was quietly
launched yesterday afternoon at the ship yard
of the Messrs. Merrill Brothers at East Deer
ing, and the two supplementary scows they
received recent order to supply. These
scows were ordered as tenders and for general
storing and towage purposes.
To-day the "Macheca" will drop down to
the Portland Companys wharf and the party
avail itself of their powerful derrick to pick
up from the water alongside the hull of the
"Millicent" and place it upon shores pre-
pared to receive it athwartship of The
Macheca's deck between her masts. Then all
will be ready and before the set of the sun
away will sail these stout hearted explorers.

Capt. Nathaniel b. MERRILL.

10
We regret to announce the death of the
above venerable shipmaster, which occurred in
his SD year, early ON Friday morning last at
the residence of his daughter in Andover,
Mass. Capt. Merrill was born March IS, 179S,
in Falmouth, where he lived the greater part
of his life time when not at sea. He also lived
in Yarmouth, Portland and Lawrence, Mass
When about is years of age he began sea-
faring life and made his first voyage with
Capt Paul E. Merrill, of Portland. In due
season he became master of vessel himself
For a time he and his older brother, Reuben
Merrill, who is still living at Falmouth, built
vessels in their native town and sailed them to
the West Indies. Later he went in command
of larger vessels to all parts of the world, fol-
lowing the sea until he was GO years of age.
In 1926 he married Miss Sarah Thompson, of
Freeport, with whom he lived most happily
in welded life for more than so years, his
death occurring the month following the 50th
anniversary of their marriage. Four of their
sons, and three daughters are now living.
Since leaving the sea, Capt. Merrill has
lived for the most part in Falmouth, and dur
ing this time has for one session at least, rep
resented his native town in the State Legisla-
ture. More than 40 years ago he united with
the First Congregational church in Falmouth,
and since that time has always led consistent
and active Christian life. 1t can be said of
him most emphatically that he lived his re-
ligion both at home and abroad. He was res
pected and honored wherever known, and es-
pecially in the community where he lived.
Both the church and the town to which he be-
longed have met with great loss In his death.
His funeral occurred at his late residence on
Monday afternoon, and was attended by nu-
merous relatives and friends. w.

A young man named Moore had narrow es-
cape from instant death at Fletcher & Co.
yesterday. He had put out staging at the
hatchway in the third story and jumped on it
to hoist some -four. The staging tipped and he
fell headlong. He struck against barrel of
flour standing on the edge of the hatchway on
the second floor, and breaking his fall, and
thence fell to the ground floor, striking on one
shoulder. Singular to relate he declared no
bones were broken and got up and walked
home. He must have received fearful shak-

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.

C0BwEBs.
Friday and Saturday nights Miss Adah Rich
mond, the pleasing comedienne, supported by
Mr.. Harry Bloodgood and strong company
will appear at New Portland Theatre in the
musical burlesque, "Cobwebs." The tickets
will be ready this morning. Act LIST is laid at
an Office in New York, in which burlesque
is introduced entitled "Allurio and Adelina,"
and act second at the railroad junction de-

The music has been adapted by Mr. J. G. Null
laly.
Observation-Disclosures
There is great interest already evinced in
musical circles over the approaching concert
which will be given at City Hall, Jan. 7th.
OF Henschel, the great baritone, we may
say he was born in Breslau, Prussia, in Febru-
airy, 1850. When twelve years old he appeared
at concert as pianist. In 1867 he was pu-
pill Of the Leipsic Conservatory under Richter,
Moscheles and Goethe, and in 1870 at the Ber-
lin High School under Kiel and Schultze In
the winter of 1877, Mr.. Henschel made his de-
but in London, and at once achieved a sue
cess. Indeed the favor in which he is held
there has induced him to make London his
home, and both in concert and oratorio no
more popular artist is to be found in England.
His career in Great Britain has been repeti-
ton of that in Germany and Russia. He is re-
ported to have sung in eighty-fve cities and
towns in Germany, and to have visited Russia
i've times 1t was during one of his concerts
there that, as he was singing one of Ruben
STEMS songs, the composer himself entered
the hall, and when sthe piece was ended, in
his delight at the way in which it was sung
went forward to the platform, grasped the
singer by the hand, and, amid the tumultu-
GUS applause of the audience, seated himself
atithe piano and played the accompaniment
Tor another OF his own songs.
Besides Henschel, Miss Lillian Bailey, Ad-
amowski, and Sherwood will appear. The
tickets can be found at Stockbridge's.
NOTES.
Mr.. Sim Reeves has been offered $4,000 for
the profits of his farewell tour in London and
the provinces.
Agnes Ethel (Irs. f. w. Tracy emerged
from her long retirement to play Gilberte in
"Frou- Frou" three nights this week in Buffa-
10, in aid of local charity
Mr.. Chizzola is negotiating with the great
Italian actor, Rossi, and there is said to be a
fair amount of probability that the latter will
be seen in this country next season.
Miss Cary scored a veritable triumph in Bos-
ton, Monday. Never W as she heard to greater
advantage, and never was she in better voice,
Notwithstanding her recent severe indispos
ton in New York. Her pure and melodious
tones seem to have taken on of late an added
the full perfection of her powers. Many con-
ceived that she had done this long ago, how
ever, and she may have fresh surprises in
store. Her greatest effort was made in the
sustained and difficult passages with Rhada-
mes and the priests in the act which was
grandly conceived and carried out in all its de-
tails, so says the Boston Journal.
