MARINE MISHAP.
A Vessel Runs on Rock in the River
and Springs Aleak.

The Biddeford Times says: Last Sunday
evening as the schooner Sarah Purves, from
New York, was being hauled up to the Fac
tory Island wharf, she struck a rock on the
bottom of the river through which the wster
began rapidly to enter. The Sarah Purves is a
schooner of large dimensions, is owned by a
firm in New York, and is commanded by Capt.
Francis Raymond. She is a very staunch
built vessel and on her arrival here was in
sound and thorough condition. The part
where she struck is built of white and live
oak. The force of the cencussion caused these
timbers to bend inward to a considerable ex-
tent. As they did not break off but fell back
into position again, the gap was partially
closed and the entrance of water lessened.
The vessel was laden with moulding sand
which she was chartered to bring from Alba
N. Y, to the Water Power Company here. A
portion of this cargo will be lost. Since the
time of the accident the pumps have had to be
kept going day and night in order to keep the
vessel free from water and avert the danger of
sinking. 1t is expected that the cargo will all
be got out by tomorrow and the vessel will
then proceed to Portland for examination and
repairs. The rock on which the vessel struck
lies at the bottom of the river quite near the
wharf, 1t has been examined and is said to
be three feet in height and of a round form. 1t
is situated in dangerous position for vessels
OF heavy burthen, and ought to be removed in
order to prevent a recurrence OF such accidents
as the present one,

Mayor Richards before taking Payne there.
The witness had not reported these facts to any
person connected withe department of justice

of the Star ro ,te trial, never gave any such in

defense. He said 1.-THE object of his getting
Foote'S affidavit was to secure Falls arrest.
Upon being questioned relative to the letter
from Foote demanding $1,000 for his affidavit,
the witness said that Payne gave him the let
ter and asked him to tell him the contents.
The witness gave the letter to Dorsey IngeI-
soil advised Payne not to make the affidavit
because it would prove him to be as bad as
Others and would send him to the penitentiary.
The witness was asked if he did not under
stand from the Star route defendant that it
was hoped by this investigation to cast discrea-
it upon the department of justice. He said re-

the reply of Admiral Wyman, chairman of the
Light House Board, to the remonstrance recent
ysent from this city against the proposed chan

ly considered.

ing, in the opinion of the members, sufficient
to justify the great risks involved, on motion
OF Hon. Israel Washburn, the cor munication
of Admiral Wyman was referred to a commit

Trade had sent remonstrance against the

versal and deep indignation throughout the

The Treasury Surplus.
The receipts at the Treasury continue SO
large that the surplus is growing 1t was sup
posed that the bond calls, in addition to the
heavy drafts on account of appropriations,
would reduce it, but the receipts have gained
so much more rapidly than the disbursements
that the avnilable surplus is $4,000, 900 larger
now than it was last month.
Still Another Fraud.
Postmaster General Howe has declared
Frank Il. Vail, doing business OF 1927 Market
street, Philadelphia, and at 1898 Broadway,
New York, under the alias of A. S. Arnold,
and in half dozen other cities under var ious
other aliases, \ fraud in selling bogus jewelry,

gistered letters be delivered to him or his
aliases.
Must Take the Consequences.
