Mass, has been examined by divers, who re-
port her an old vessel of IS tons, loaded with
brick and mailing from Portland. Name I'M
distinguishable. She is nearly broken up.
Schooner l.. w. Pierce sailed from here ten
days ago with cargo of brick for Boston,
and is probably the vessel mentioned. She
was leaky previous to sailing and part of the
crew deserted. A boat had been cut from
the sunken vessels davits and probably sunk
between the vessel and shore. No bodies
have been found. The Pierce registered 65
tons, hailed from Portland and was owned in
Yarmouth. No insurance on vessel or cargo.
Scion Chase Retires.
LEWISTON, September "A. Scion Chase,
in to-day's issue of his paper, gives a letter
from c. S. Conant demanding his retire
ment from the eiitorship of the Enquirer if
he proposes to advocate a straight greenback
electoral ticket. In reply he surrenders
charge of the paper, imploring the directors
to change its name. He saws the dark night
of fusion will soon pass away and the sun
light of common sense again have sway,
when there will be work for him. He thinks
the greenback party can never die, and an
ticipates victory in the early future, for
greenback mothers, North and South, are
teaching their sons that the greenback road,
like the road to heaven, is straight ahead.
