Steamer T,euot,co, v.;he,ea.

BANGOR, Me-, Nov. 19.-Steamer Penobscot,
OF the Boston and Bangor Steamship Com
pany, has been liheled and seized BY Collector
Davis of this po for breach of the United
States laws. A bond was given and she was
allowed to make trips regularly without inter-
ference. Complaint is made that the Penob-
scot has only two bnlkheads, while under
law passed by the last Congress ocean going
steamers are expected to have three. Super
intendeut Littlefeld says the company have
claimed the Penobscot was not an ocean going
steamer aud had twice been pronounced all
right by the inspectors. On the 18th of last
September the United States inspectors of
Boston ordered the company to put in another
bulkhead, and allowed her thirty-ive DAYS in
which to have this done. The company had
made all preparations to comply with this
request, when on October 9th steamer Cam
bridge of the same line was disabled by the
breaking of her shaft, and hence it was neces-
sary to keep the Penobscot on duty. The writ
is returnable at Portland tomorrow.

THE BATH MURDERER.
Daniel Wilkinson Discovered i'm an Ar
tempe 60 Escape frsm Jail.


Daniel Wilkinson, who was arrested and
incarcerated in Kennebec Jail, September 18th,
for the murder of Policeman Lawrence OF
Bath, made an effort to escape from jail
Friday night. Since his imprisonment he has
been constantly confined and locked into his
cell. For several weeks the officers Of the
Jail had mistru5ted that he was maturing o
plan to escape, Friday certain actions and
novements on the part of the prisoner led
them to suspect that he was about to put his
-cheme into practice. Accordingly it was
decided to watch him closely during the niyht.
About 10 o'clock in the evening the sherin
and turnkey, susDectlDg that all was not right,
took dark lanteren, entered the guard room
and proceeded towards Wilkinsen's coll. In
be front of the cell Is an aperture barred with
ron bars closely arranged together aud fixed
in the stone walls. This cell had fsrmerlY
been occupied by other prisoners who had
made an attempt to escape by saving eff the
; lower end OF two Of the bars. Before they
had fully completed their job they were dis
covered, and the partially severed bars were
repaired by securing them with iron clasps
fastened together with bolts. Friday night,
when the officers entered the guard room, they
flashed their lantern upon these bars, and
made the timely discovery that bolt, which
held one of these clasps, had been sawed on
and the clasp fallen to the floor. wilkinson
was Immediately ordered out into the guard
room aud thorough search made on his per-
son. Iugeniously secreted in his stocking and
beneath the sole of one foot was found an old
case knife with the edge toothed, after the
manner of a saw; q skeleton key was also
found on his person. Wilkinson was then
sent to the dungeon, where he has since re-
mained. Had not the murderer been dis-
covered as he was, he would soon have gained
egress into the guard room, where it 10 be-
lieved by making disturbance he intended to
call in the turnkey, strike him to the floor.

made in wilkinson's cell after the discovery OF
his attempted escape, and an iron hook for
digging ont mortar, sharp cutting stone pre-
sumably used to change knives into iron cut
ting Instruments, and a worn shoe knife, the
edge of the blade notched in the same manner
as the case knife, were found. II is thought
that 1t was the latter kuife that the prisoner
employed in saving off the bolt.

ENFoRclNe THE LIeUOR LAW.
The City Marshai's Representations Ger
rected.

To the Editor Of the Press
In tie Sunday Times of the 18th inst is publisher
an interview with City Marshal Andrews, in regard
to statement made by Portland correspondent
of the Christian Home, in which he is represented
saying that
The theory of this correspondent evidently Is
that vigorous raiding by the officers on liquor
dealers dimInishes intoxication. think the pol ce
records of Portland will show that in years in which
the officers, who entrusted with the enforce
ment of the ProhibitoIy Law, have made most
strenuous efforts to enforce it, that the arrests for
drunkenness keep about with years when
laxity of enforcement prevailed-exceeding RAJ her
than derra ting them. The demoralizing result
from abuse of the use of ntoxicants is great, and
the dem ralizing effect from abuse of the of
prohibition will thrive best when Iersons speaking
or writi regarding Them y i'll state facts they
exist, and not as they would like to have them.
1t would seem to be more becoming for Mr.. An
drews himself to estate facts they exist, and not
as he would like to have them" He is City Mar
shal of Portland and ought to be conversant with
the records of his office. During the time between
1875 and 1881 it is quite well known that "most
strenuous efforts were made to enforce the law,
and "that the arrests for drunkenness did NOT
keep about with years when laxty of enforce
ment prevailed" On the contrary, they fell off
very much under vigorous enforcement of the
law, as the following figures taken from the Mat
shaps report will show:

What is fn she Way of ITS ComiUg TO Port

cOme-saggestions of Great importance
TO Portland.
To the Editor Of the Press.

To the Editor Of the Press:
The people of Portland having, failed to realize
their most ssnguine expectations in regard to the
Grand Trunk and the other railway enterprises
which our city and citizeus have been interested
in promoting, appear to have become somewhat ap-
athletic and Indifferent to the substantial advanta
ges derived by of such lines making this city
their Atlantic terminus
The location of the terminal depots of a great
transcontnentsl line Of railway like the Canadian
Pacific, which is not only TO span the continent,
open up vast undeveloped regions of country for
settlement and transport the products of these re-
gions to the for distribution but is also to
create steamship lines to connect with the ports Of
Europe, must be of immense advantage to any city;
and no reasonable effort should be spared to secure
such prize.
The gentlemen who recently visited this city in
the interest of the Canadian Pacific with view to
making the Atlantic terminus of that road here
were impressed with the great natural advantages
of Portland as shipping port but thought that the
Grand Trunk had practically secured a monopoly
Of the water front of the city; that while the Cape
Elizabeth side of the harbor possessed many of the
natural advantages of the Portland side as regards
'front.' they could not fail to note that every
thug on that side in the way of wharves docks
warehouses and shipping facilities generally, was
yet to be created and that everything from founda-
ton up, must be constructed at the expense of the
company requiring the use of them. They saw on
the Portlau d side that the Grand Trunk had not
only their own magnificent yards, wharves and
warehouses, which as matter of course any COM
pauy would have to provide for its own accommoda-
tion, but they also saw and this is the important
poi that this great line, with which their own

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-In the Proteus court
of inquiry today Comm ander Wildes, COM
manding the Yantic, before taking the oath as
witness, desired to know in what capacity he
appeared before the court, "whether to have
his acts as commander of the naval part Of the
expedition inquired into by the court, or SIM
ply as witness to testify what he knew re-
garding the acts of Others" He was informed
by the recorder that The court was convened by
order OF the President TO investigate all Cir
cumstances attending the failure of the expe-
dition of 1888, and that he was summoned as a
witness to answer any question the court might
put. He had the same privilege any other
witness had, to refuse to answer any question
which might tend to criminate himself.
Commander Wildes then took the oath. Be
ibg asked by the recorder if upon hearing of
the disaster to the Protens it occurred to him
to land stores from the Yantic and make a
cache for the Greeley party He replied in the
affirmative.
