Mr.. Joshua r. Jordan whose Illness was
noticed in the AMERICAN two weeks ago.
died from cancer of the stomach. SATURDAY
afternoon at o'clock. Mr.. Jordan was one
of the old citizens of Ellsworth, having
come here in 1880, from Penobscot County,
and one whose loss will be deeply felt by a
large circle of friends. He has been prom
inent business man, and the Coroner of Han
cock County for about twenty years. and has
held other official positions, in all of which
his strict business habits gave value TO his
services. His funeral took place c; his late
residence on Mt Desert Street, Tuesday af-
ternoon. at O'Clock. and was largely atten-
ded, noticeable feature being the large
number of our old citizens who were pres
ent. The services consisted of PRAYER by
Rev. T. +. White of the Baptist Church;
reading Of Scripture by Rev. c. J. II. Ropes,
of the Congregational Church. and remarks
and closing PRAYER by Rev. DIR. Tcnney.
The family have the deep sympathy of

put in such costly machinery and expensive
buildings as is neee ssary for legitimate min

used to come to the Island as the heaps of
clam shells. and manufactured flint arrow
heads testify, and the first settlers well knew !;
and when there was but two or three
families on the Island. the cattle had large
range of pasture. There were two boys
whose names we shall not give who went
one day after their cows which had strayed
great way off, The boys hunted till
towards night for their cows and did not
find them They then came out to place
called Whale cove, and on the north end OF
the beach was an Indians camp Of their first
style of build. The Indians were all gone
hunting seals and there were live Goals of
fire in the camp. The boys took 1t into
their heads that the Indians had either
killed their cows or driven them away and
they felt full of revenge, and turned TO and
set the camp on FIRE and burnt il and all
there was in it. The appearance OF things
in the camp indicated that the Indians some
of them at least were well of. and their
best clothes were hanging up in the camp.
and among them nice. fine. English broad
cloth over coat. called in those times
surtou;. and probably the most valuable
article in the camp and the one the boys
talked the most about when they said any
thing about it. That nice coat was burnt
up. which circumstance gave the name of
Burnt Goa, to the Island. The Indians were
not aware how the FIRE came. and the boys
kept mum long while about it. But the
Indians reported it, and gave the name TO
the Island. The writer heard one Of the
boys. after he had got long in years, tell
the story. and he added the following very
proper remark. said he. eve ought to have
had a tremendous thrashing for that scrape."
