old well, and near it an Arab girl recines lis
tening TO another who is playing on a mando-
lin. At the feet of the first girl rests a goat
while another, perched On a rock in the rear.

A Hurricane in the West Indies.

1t is reported to the chief signal officer that
a hurricane was central last night short die
lance north or northeast of st. Thomas, West
Indies, with maximum hourly wind velocity
of sixty miles, wind backing from the north
west to southwest. One vessel was blown
ashore. The information given is insufficient
to determine the path of the storm centre, but
the centre will probably move northwestward
and unless it recurves to the northeast it will
reach the Atlantic coast. While storms signals
will not be displayed at present the chief sig
nal officer considers it advisable to send special
warnings to all Atlantic ports and TO caution
shipping against possible danger for the next
two or three days from this hurricane.

Hon. r.. &. T. Neallev,

Hon. Ii. .. j. Noalloy.
Hon. E:S j. Nealley of Bath, whose death
was reported yesterday, was born in Lee, N.
H., Dec. 10th, 1911. He entered Bowdoin
College in the class of 1885. but left college be-
fore graduating. At the last commencement
the degree Of Bachelor of Arts was given him
out of course. He then studied law in the
Office of his cousin, Hon. Jonathan Cilley, and
was admitted to the bar and practiced for some
time at Thomaston, but on the accession of
President Van Buren, in 1887, Gen. Joseph
Sewall, then Collector of Customs at Bath, ap-
pointed him an Inspector and subsequently his
deputy, and he has remained in office. in the
Bath Custom House without inter- upton from
that time till his death. These A years have
seen many parties gaining and losing power,
and the records show the names of many per-
sons as collectors OF the port-Joseph Sewall,
Parker Sheldon, Amos Nourse, David Bron-
son, Benz Randall, S. G. Humphreys, Col. A.
j. Stone, Gen. Joseph Berry, JAS e. Nichols,
G. N. Bodfsh Roland Fisher and others. But
Mr.. Nealley, by his .promptness, accuracy and
integi ity and his courtesy and Willingness to
assist any one having business at the office,
made himself so valuable officer that the
shipholders and citizens of Bath were prompt
to wait upon every new collector to strongly
request that the services of the deputy should
be retained. Upon the death of Collector
Fisher in February, 1866, Mr.. Nealley was pro-
NOTED to the collectorship, which post he filled
till his death.
Mr.. Nealley has always been prominent in
matters of interest to the city, having served
several times in both branches of the City
Council Having been an officer of the Patten
Library Association since its organization, and
its President since the death of DR.. Putnam
aud having been four years the trustee of the
Kelly fund for the distribution of fuel to the
poor He has always been interested in what
ever pertained to the welfare of the city,
which in his death loses one of its best known
and most highly respected citizens.
He has been twice married, his first wife
having been Lucy G. Prince, who died in 1858.
His second wife, Sarah A Pope, survives him.
as do six children, the eldest son being Hon.
Edward B. Nealley of Bangor, and the Oldest
daughter of the wife of Rev. John Gregson,
late Rector of Grace Church in this city, of
which church the deceased was most valued
member-Bath Times.
