The Coming Political Campaign.

The Hancock Legion held meeting at the Democratic headquarters last evening, Dr. E. L. Bissen presiding. The leaders are making every effort to get up a big list of Hancock veterans of the war. Last evening they were made happy by the addition of 64 more names to the list, and they rejoice in list now of about 200 names against about 400 Republican veterans.
 The Windham county Transcript names D. R. Wright, of this city, as a probable candi- date for Governor. It says: 'It is proba- ble that Governor Andrews mantle may fall upon Dexter R.

The track was if anything the better for the rains, and the weather fine through the afternoon except for short shower between the second and third heats Faithful was driven by J.

A Singular Disaster.

The astonishing accident to the steam
er Bohemian, which took place at Mon.
treal recently, adds still mother calami-
ty to the list of marine mishaps which
OF late have already been so extended
The Bohemian left her dock a few min.
utes before the accident, and with about
fifty passengers and an assorted cargo,
being bound for the Upper St. Lawrence,
passed into canal lock NO. 2 from the
Lachine canal basin. She was going at
half speed at this time, when to the ute,
amazement and terror of all beholders
she was seen to put on full steam and to
dash straight at the opposite gate Now,
his gate was the sole barrier between
she Bohemian and mass of water thir-
teen feet higher than that on which she
fioated, a mile in length and several hun.
dred feet in width.
The effect of the impact of the Bone
mian was instantaneous. The gates were
crushed like so much brittle glass. and
the flood, in Niagara torrent, poured in,
carrying everything before it. The
steamboat was whirled back, in spite OF
her engine, to the basin she had left.
The water drove furiously on, submerg-
ing wharts, sinking many small vessels,
engulfng numbers of laborers and car
rying terror and ruin in every direction.
1t is said that the deluge of water set the
huge ocean steamships in the harbor of
Montreal dancing like so many cookie
shells. As for the Bohemian, she sank
IN tour minutes from the time she struck
the gate. But owing, as one dispatch
says, "to the admirable presence of mind
of one of her officers" the passengers
were restrained from jumping overheard,
and with the help of the harbor police,
all were saved.
One cannot but regret in considering
this statement that the admirable pres
ence of mind of the Bohemian's officers
was not exhibited before this surprising
accident instead of atterwsrd. To dash
deliberately at such an object as a canal
gate that held back vast body of water,
or in other words, short OF blowing the
steamboat up outright, to do the most
madly perilous and destructive thing
that imagination could conceive of, is an
act to which we can recall no parallel.
Nor was the injury and danger confined
to the Bohemian alone. When the water
rushed forward on its errand of destruc-
ton, the effect was also to destroy what
it left behind. In few moments basin
No. was emptied and the vessels lying
there were left high and dry on the bot
tom. This broke the backs of many OF
them, they being chiefly laden with
grain, and severely strained others, be.
sides doing much damage to tneir car
goes. A loss of many hundreds of thoa
