THE NATIONALS AT NOME.
They Celebrate Their Return by Beating tho
Rnchester Nine.

The Nationals played yesterday on their
own grounds for the first time in many weeks.
Their temperance was the occasion of calling
out a large number of spectators. They bad
for opponents tho Rochester nine, who will
meet them again to-day. The playing on
the part Of the Nationals was charac'
terizcd by hard batting and loose pitching.
As the playing Of the Rochesters showed
no improvement in either respect the
game was long and tedious. Mr.. Butler
was selected as umpire but his decisions in
the first innings gave such great dissatisac-
ton that he retired and Mr. Boasl5 was sub
sttuted. The finest play Of the game was a
phenomenal running stop Of McClellan's in
tho third iuuing, he fielding the ball neatly to
first base In time to put out the runner.

A Large House Greets Gun on tho Pacific"
Ford's opcra-houso reopeued for the fall and
winter season last night, full house greeting
the old favorites in the musical comedy, Fun
on tho Pacific" Everything ran smoothly,
the usual defects of first night being con-
spicuously absent. The leading female char
acter was ntrusted to Miss Marie Bockel, who
was never in better voice, and sang the num-
bcrs allotted her in q pleasing aud yivacious
manner Miss Belle Mackenzie was the re-
cipent OF an enthusiastic encore upon her
appearance before the footlghts, and during
the play gave evidence of careful study and
fairly divided the honors with Miss Bockel.
OF course George Denham was immense--he
always is--and as August Fetterman, the mer-
chant prince, had character which just
suited his fun-making propensities. The other
characters were in the hands of capable and
painstaking artists, and the piece is destined
to be fayorlte one with theatre.goers.

Obituary.

Died.-In Yarmouth, Sept. 2lst., Susan Ma
COON, wife of L. L. Shaw, aged So years and II
days.
Mrs. Shaw has been in very poor health for
three or four years, and for short time before
her death was great sufferer. She bore her
cross of pain in that spirit of patience that
marks the Christian sustained by a strength
that is more than human. She was kind and
good woman, feloved and respected by all who
knew her. Before her health failed her the
measure of her usefulness was filled, and well
filled. AS wife and a mother in her ca rthly
home, she was faithful and made that home
rich by her love and care. She has finished her
work on earth, and in the strength of her heav-
emily Fathers love she has journeyed upward
from earth to the companionship of heaven.
She leaves husband and daughter and many
friends who deeply mourn her death.
BLESSED are they that mourn for they shall
be comforted.'
long for household voices gone
For vanished smiles long;
But God hath led my dear ones on
And He can do no harm.
| know not where His islands lift
Their proudest palms in air;
only know cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.

THE STEERS WIN.
Scion Chase Brings the Andres.
coggin Publishing Co. to Terms.
Squire Conant, the Author of that Threat
ening Letter. on his Knees before the
Cowhide Boots.


The letter of G. S. Conant, ESQ.,, of this
city, to Scion Chase, threatening to depose
him from the editorial chair of the ENQUIRER.
and Chases reply, pu blished on Saturday,
threw the greenback camp into CONSERVATION.
The fact seems to be that Conant wrote the
letter without any authority from the direc-
tors or stockholders of the association that
owns the paper, thinking to bulldoze Scion in
to the fu sion hairless. MIR. Conant didn't
think that Scion would publish the letter. or
such reply, and when the correspondence ap-
peared in the columns of the daily papers.
Saturday, Mr.. Conant found that he had put
his foot in it.
The association which owns the Enquirer
is known as the Androscoggin Publishing As
ISOLATION. 1t was incorporated last winter
with nominal capital of $4,000 Its direc-
tors are Col. G. S. Emerson of Auburn, Gen.
Phillips Bradford of Turner, Mr.. Mcintyre of
Peru, Mr.. Waite of Buckfeld and James
Nash OF Lewiston. Col. Emerson is president
of the board, g. S. Conant, ESQ. of this citv.
is secretary, and b. A. Bradford of Auhnrn
treasurer. Mr.. Conant found himseIf con,
fronted on Saturday, by a lot of angry direc.
tors and stockholders, who demanded to know
on what authority he wrote the letter. The
result was hasty meeting at Solon Cbase,s
house at Chase's Mills, Saturday evening.

The defense makes two points; LIST, that the voy
age is not sufficiently described 3D. that the ship
ping articles were not signed in presence of proper
person, to wit: United States Shipping Commits
sioner, the master, the owner or consignee.
The Court rules that the description was sufficient
and that this being coasting voyage, it was not
necessary that the articles should be signed before
the aboye-named persons; but that as the defend
ant admitted that he did sign the articles and had
subsequently deserted, he was thereby guilty of a
violation of the law.
The jury without leaving their seats returned a
verdict OF guilty. The same verdict was also rem
dered. in two similar cases. against theodore East
man and Charles King. Sentences reserved.

Since the convention at Portland great pres
sure had been brought to bear on Scion, to in
duce him to keep quiet, and the threatening
tone of Commits letter was more than he
could stand; Only last Thursday, General
PlaiIed and F. W. Hill Of Exeter, pursued
Soloff from the Elm House, and tried to wheel
him into line. The General and Hill arrived
in Auburn just fifteen minutes after Solon's
black mare had started on the road to Turner
Being informed where Scion had gone, Gen.
Plaisted engaged team at the Elm House
and started at once on the pursuit. They sue
ceeded in finding him, but were unable to
effect anything.
A Journal reporter called ON Col Emerson,
the president of the association, Monday
morning, and from the Colonel learned what
transpired at the meeting.
"Ccnant wrote that letter. said Colonel
Emerson, without any authority from the
Board OF Directors OF the Association, or any
body else. When he came home from Port
land, he probably talked with few stock
holders, who were dissatisfied with Solon's
strong language and actions at the convention,
and wrote the letter on his own responsibility.
1t was bad move on his part. He had no
right to threaten that if Scion didn't endorse
fusion, the majority of the stockholders would
demand change of editor before another is
sue of the Enquirer. None OF the directors
ever heard of any such talk"
"How has the Enquirer flourished under
Solon's management"
"First-rate. 1t has a circulation of 1000
which is increasing all the time"
Had there been any talk of making any
change in the editorial Department."
"Not word. got together few stock
holders and the directors and TOOK Conant
and went up to Turner, Saturday night. We
talked it all over with Scion, and told him
just how it was.''
"What did Conant say?"
"Oh! Conant fattened right out! He said
he wrote the letter his Pncn npcib
You see the Hast part of his letter was really
threatening. And he acknowledged it. He
owned up that he had no business to have
written it."
"What did Scion say?"
"We told Scion we wanted him to keep
right on. He said he wanted to think it over
He wanted us to let him have till Monday to
chaw on it, he said, and then he'd tell US
what he would do, and what he wouldn't do
We agreed to this, and he's coming down here
to-day. We're going to hold a meeting in
VIM. M. Hams office. l believe Scion is
right, in his position
Our reporter talked with several other lead
ing Greenbackers in Auburn. They all pro-
fessed to be greatly astonished at Mr.. Commits
letter, and said it was written without the
authority or sanction of the stockholders or
officers of the association.

LEWISTON, Sept. 27.--At conference be-
tween Scion Chase and the Greenback Publish
ing Company Mr.. Chase declared that he
would stand by his previous declarations. He
was seconded by j. f. Turner of the Portland
New Era Company. The meeting put Scion
again in charge of the paper with an injunc-
ton not to hurt his friends After suspen-
sion of one week the Inquirer will probably

On Friday night as the freight train from
Portland which arrives ia Portsmouth at mid
night was approaching that station, the rear
car jumped the track just after leaving the
end of Portsmouth bridge, fortunately going
off on the side farthest from the highway, as
otherwise it would have gone down the en-
bankment and possibly have caused serious
damage to the train. The derailed car was
hauled along over the seepers for consider
able distance, finally stopping close to the
Mobiles Island bridge. The delay was slight
On Saturday forenoon at about O'Clock the
shifting engine of the Eastern road ran off the
track on Mobiles Island, owing to a misplaced
switch: no harm was done
