THE PRINCE-sKILL1N CASE,
Something for Tabulator Chase to Elk
plain.

From an inspection of the official returns in
the Office of the Secretary of State at Augusta
it appears that while Cap'n Chase and his fell
low tabulators felt themselves compelled by
their deep reverence for the constitution to
throw out the vote of Portland for county
commissioner because two votes were returned
scattering they had no hesitation in counting
votes returned for William B. SkiUings for
William B. Skillin, and this too notwithstand-
ing that they had refused to count votes for
Burnam for Burnham. In the return from both
Harrison and Windham William B. Skillin
appeared as William B. Skillings. Harrison
threw 176 votes and Windham 314, total of
400. Had these votes been counted for Skill
lings as returned. Mr.. Prince would have been
elected by 435 plurality, even throwing out the
vote of Portland. Under the law it is true
that this error in the return might have been
corrected by the record if the record had been
correct But the record was wrong as we'll as
the return, so that the tabulators violated not
only their own rules in this case but the law as
we'll. Had they adhered strictly to their con-
struction of the constitution even Mr.. Prince
must have been declared elected. But they
gave the certificate to Skillin. To the ordinary
man this performance looks like a case of
outrageous fraud. Perhaps however Tabulator
Chase or one of the Argus 'great constitu-
tional lawyers or Col. R. M. Springer, editor
of the New Era-Leader and Sunday New Era
and President of the Maine State Circle B. P
L.. can explain it consistently with the
alleged honesty of the tabulators. They
should try.

Goodwin's Mills,

Mr.. EDITOR:-Union Hall at Goodwin's
Mills has but seldom been packed.so full, and
never with more interested and appreciative
audience, than assembled last Wednesday eve
ming to hear the "Old Folks Concert"
given by Mr.. Owen of Buxton, assisted by
members of the singing school that he has
kept here, and many others. This was the
second concert of this kind given here this
season by Mr.. Owen; the first one was held at
the close of his singing school, and proved SO
great a success and was so acceptable that
wish was very generally expressed to have it
repeated.
Notwithstanding the first concert proved SO
satisfactory am pleased to say that in COM
pleteness, in plan and arrangement, in success
in the execution, this one was far ahead of the
first Miss Flora Roberts Of Biddeford (who
is less than thirteen years of age) presided at
the organ the first half of the evening, with
wonderful ability and skill, and Mrs. Brad
bury Of Buxton, an accomplished organist,
rendered valuable aid on the organ after re-
cess. Painchaud's Orchestra Band of Bidde-
and greatly assisted in the general singing.
There were about twenty old pieces sung,
and while these were being performed the fol-
lowing selections were rendered in very SUI
perlor manner.

Miss Roberts, Biddeford.

tans Beaming

eMisses Dame, Eliot.
In the management of this as we'll as the
first concert, Mr.. Owen displayed great ability
to so arrange and carry out his plans, as to en-.
terrain and please all that attended, and as
valuable aid and help to him in this direct
ton, too much credit cannot be given to those
who SO kindly came in from other towns and
assisted in the exercises.

the stoves were damaged and the bulkheads of
tne cabins smashed in; while in the forecastle
Things were even worse; the hunks were car
RED away, the stove broken and everything
movable about the decks were also washed
overheard; the water also got below through
the ventilators and seams forward, and at one
time there was as much as seven feet of water
IN the hold, Notwithstanding that the crew
were pumping as hard as they could and being
continually washed away, but luckily they
were all lashed and thus prevented from going
overheard. The stove having been washed
away the crew were unable to get any food
cooked for two days; but Mrs. Talbot, the wife
OF the captain, fortunately had kerosene
lamp in the cabin. and with this, although the
CABIN all the time was deluged with water, she
calamity managed to boil them coffee, but they
had nothing to eat but dry biscuits for "a
hours. The cyclone lasted for 4S hours, after
which the ship was drifting about between the
Loyalty Islands and the New Hebrides for
about IA days, putting up jury masts, &c.,
when just as she was got snug she again on the
4th inst experienced heavy gale which con-
tinued and finished with hurricane on the
18th; on the 9th the rudder head gave way,
while previous to this, viz, on the 7th, 70 tons
OF sugar had to be iettisoned. On this, as on
the previous occasion, there was tremendous
sea running. During the gale the manhole of
one OF the tanks was broken, and in conse-
quence they were on short allowance of water,
as also of provisions, through their being spoil
ed with salt water, &c. The first cyclone
came from the east, while the second came
from enc, both being accompanied with tre-
mendous seas.
