Senator Frye on Our Shipping interests.

UNITED STATES SENATE,
WASHINGTON, ID. O., July 81. 1882.
10 the Editor OF the Eastport Sentinel:
Dear Sir:-I saw day or two since In the
Portland Advertiser, what purported to be an
extract from your paper, calling attention to
the negligence of Congressman, touching the
shipping interests, and especially to the delay
in enacting the bill which is known as the
Pike Bill for the Relief of Coasters.
just criticism of public servants is exceed
ing healthy and no limit should be placed np-
on it, but it should be just The Pike bill
was the result of conference betwe an the
Hon. F. A. Pike and myself, ate in the pre-
sent session. / Immediately introduced the
bill, with short speech and had it referred to
the Committee on Commerce Four different
times appeared bsfore that committee and
urged vehemently the immediate report OF the
bill. They finally reported it, and under the
rules of the Senate, it took its proper position,
far down on the calendar, where there is but
one way to reach it, except in its regular order,
and that is by unanimous consent, which. 1
have been unable to obtain, because the
Surgeon General on account of the reduction
of hospital fees, and large number of collec-
tors, whose salaries were affected by the loss
of fees provided for in the bill show determined
hostility to its passage,
The bill has not yet been reached in regular
order, and will not be until the early part of
next session. 1t will then, in my opinion, be-
come a law, passing both branches, whenever
been neglectful in my course touching this
bill, am entirely unconscious OF it.
Yours very truly,
VIM. T. FRYE.

Adventure with q Bear.

The Phillips Phonograph says Charles Soule
of Rangeley, set trap for bear on Abbot
Hill, near Old Saddleback. Recently Mr..
james Spaulding was up there haying, and
knowing where the trap was, thought he
would go and see if there was anything in the
trap. The trap was missing; but on looking
around, Le discovered the trap with cub in
it. Not having gun he cut club with which
to dispatch him. All at once the
mother bear put IN an appearance,
and James, who by the way weighs
about 200 pounds, dropped his club and put,
with the old bear after him. VIM. Ellis was
as work near by, and hearing the noise, and
taking in the situation of the nearly played
out man, went to the house nd got his gun.
In the meantime, the bear gave up the chase
and went back to her cub in the trap, where
she stayed till Mr.. Ellis and two or three others
arrived The old lady sat near her cub, until
ball from Mr.. Ellis gun put an end to her
life. The cub was killed also, and the party
returned home, leaving as they supposed, an
other cub in the vicinity.

Capt. Charles sager.


Another of Poftland's oldest and most re-
Charles Sager who has been in declining
health for several years expired at his resi-
dence on Deering street at 1.30 p. m. yester-
day.
Capt. Charles Sager was born in Freeport,
May 10Th, 1904, and was consequently 78 years
of ag at his death. His father was saddler
by trade and moved to this country from Scot
land, dying at Topsham at the age OF 45. The
father kept hotel, and also a saddlery shop,
at Topsham, where he was assisted by his son
Charles When Charles was fifteen years old
he had full charge of a stable in Topsham and
was never out of the livery business until his
last sickness. While quite young Capt.
Charles went to Hallowell and took the hotel
there, running it successfully several years.
From thence he kept the house in Gardiner,
and finally about fifty years ago moved to this
city, where he came in possession of the United
States Hotel as landlord, then known as
the Cumberland House. He established q
large livery business here, and for over thirty
years was located on Oak street, giving up the
hotel business in order TO accommodate him
self to the wants of the patrons Of the stable.
1t is only few weeks since he transferred this
large establishment-as mentioned in tho
PRESS at the time-to his skilful manager for
so many years, Mr.. Henry Taylor Capt. Sager
amassed large fortuae, which he leaves to
his widow, nee Miss Eliza Mcclellan of Gar
diner, who survives him.
Capt. Sager was formerly member of the
nrdar of Odd Fa1lous ond ot fha time 0f
his death, director of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and mem
Der of the Aged Brotherhood. He was man
of kind feelings and sympathies, straight-for-
ward business man, and will be much regret
ted. His title OF captain was derived from
the Hallowell Artillery, of which company he
was at one time commander, and as comman-
der took part in the obsequies of the
late Gov. Lincoln, the artillery performing es-
art lrrfxr
