In nearly three yeras. They felt like Robinson

THE PERILoUs JOURNEY.
Lieutenant Danenhower then narrated briefly
the principal events in that Inflated journey.
He said that at one time but three or four were
fit for service. but in n few days all who had
frozen limbs were again able to report for duty.
The journey was full of privation and hardship,
though with less of stirring incident. He tapped
on the tioor of the stage with his pointer, and a
Young man came out wearing the suit OF deer
hide and fur that Danenhower had worn i'll a
journey of 5000 miles. He afterwara showed
another costume worn by him in Russia. 1t
would require too much space to follow the lee
tnrer IN detail He described the first receipt
OF news from De Longs marty, which had
reached Lana at another mouth of the Lena, one
hnnured miles from the Melville party Two
men lan been sent ahead by the exhausted De
Long party for succOr. Exhausted, the two men,
after tramp OF many days, had reached de-
serted nut. Here We have wood to burn, they
shid; I'VE can go no further. Let us be COM
Portable while We starve to death" AT that
moment they heard the voice OF some
one outside, and one OF the party went ont to re-
connoiter. The native, when he saw this man,
VINO had rifle In his hand, fell on his knees and
begged for mercy. The haggard, exhausted ex-
porer threw down his gun, begged the native for
1000 ana help To reach some city. This was the
first tidings from the party. When Melville heard
or this lie started to tile town where the men
were TO he found, leaving written orders with
Lieutenant Eisenhower to proceed with the
men. while he turned back to endeavor to rescue
De Long. On the 18th of January, 1882, the
thirteen survivors of the expedition assembled
At fakutsk and started homeward, Lieutenant
Danenhower having received orders to return
home.
In conclusion, he said that there was nothing
TO he gained in Attic explorations for the benefit
OF science that could not he better done by sys-
tenn of cnmpOlar O6servatOries. There Is moth
ing to compensate for the expenditure of life and
energy, to say nothing of the loss of money.
There are other fields for geographical research.
Let the islands of the Pacific Ocean he surveyed,
and the lecturer indie tied other regions, which
would repay more fully investigation by such
expeditions. He would have none of it, He
would like to see Artic exploration cease.

Freeman H. snow.

To the Edito. Of the Press:
Mr.. Freeman III. Snow, who died in this
town on the 10th inst, was IS years old. He
began railroad life as fireman for engineer Ed
gar Stevens, at the opening of the P. & o.
road some twelve years ago. His intelligence
and faithful attention to the duties of his sta
ton soon earned for him the responsible posi-
ton Of engineer, which he held up to the time
he was taken sick-some ten months ago, and
it might be said he held the place up to the
time of his death, as through the kindness of
the officers of the road he has never been
dropped from the roll. Mr. Snow was not only
one of the Oldest but one of the best engineers
on the road. He had realizing sense of the
responsibility resting upon him. While he was
always faithful to the company that employed
him he was at the same time anxious and
watchful for the lives of those that so much
depended on his skill and good judgment. He
had will to do his work well, and he scarcely,
If ever, failed. He was devoted husband
gentle, kind and obliging; a good neighbor,
always speaking kindly and having a good
word for all. He was an honest man of the
greatest integrity and manly in all his acts
The funeral was held in the church on Sun
day, the 18th inst, and attended by large
number of relatives and neighbors, also all the
railroad men in town showed their respect for
his memory and attended in body. The en-
gineers and firemen showed their love and APP
probation OF his character by contributing
very beautiful wreath of fresh cut flowers
which they placed upon his casket Mr.. Ham
ilton, the Superintendent of the P. & o. r. b.,
did very graceful act by placing special
train at the disposal of the friends OF the de-
ceased, which took them to Glen Station
From thence the remains were taken to the

bosom of the EARTH

Break in the water Main.

There was bad break in the main water
pipe on Commercial street Monday night and
yesterday morning second break occurred.
The water probably forced its way under
ground into the cellar of King, Gilman & Co.,
which was flooded to the depth of about three
feet. There were upwards of 400 barrels of
flour in the cellar. The lower tiers are COM
pletely spelled, but some of the -four was hap
PLY out of the reach of the water. It is
thought the damage will not fall short of $1,000
and may be more. The Water Company
promptly promised to settle in satisfactory
manner. Casco steamer No. pumped the
water out of the cellar yesterday afternoon.
Harrigan's restaurant and Stanwood's black
smith shop received slight dose of the water.
We were informed last evening that the
damage to Mr.. Kings -four may not exceed
S050
