The RefheI skeIeton.

MINOTs NOV. l5s
noticed in the PRESS the story of the find
ing of skeleton in cellar OF an old house In
Bethel and aiterward that some one tnougnv
it might be the skeleton Of Dennis Hatch
who disappeared years ago. 1 was well ac-
qusinted with the doings Of Mr.. Hatch up to
the time of his disappearance. His father
lived in the town of Green and when Dennis
became of age he went into the Sonth part Of
Minot which is now in Auburn and set MP
a grocery store and traded for about one year,
and then sold out at auction. About the same
time there was blacksmith within about
mile Of him by the name of Philip Read who
was accused of making counterfeit money, and
ii was said that Mr.. Hatch was accustomed to
20 to his shop aud with Mr. Read shut him
self in the shop four hours and people suspec-
ted something wrong. After this Dennis
Hatch and Samuel D. Morrow went to Boston
aud engaged in peddhng fancy goods for the
Newells They had the goods sent to Port
land and both started out in different direc-
tions. In short time Mr.. Morrow received
letter from a tavern keeper somewhere In New
Hampshire, saying that Hatch had left q horse
and peddle eart with bim to be delivered to no
one but Mr.. Morrow snd had taken the stage
and left. Mr.. Morrow took his brother Reuben
and went and got the horse and cart and
wrote to Mr.. Newell that he would be in Port
land with the goods certain day. So under
all the circumstances cannot believe tha. the
skeleton can be that of D5nnis Hatch for
when Re left he went West =.

WASHINGTON, Nov 16-Admiral Nichols,
who has general charge of the navy yards
intimate that unless considerable money lis
laid out on them, they will soon be worthless
The yards in New England need immediate
attention. At Portsmouth he thinks $142. .227

the reports show there there is scarcely a
building in that yard which has not sadly de-
Perforated within few years through slack
repairs. The coming season $135,0O0 is i'm
peratively needed for repairs there. 1t in
cludes S25 900 for water-pipes; cart shed, $10,-

THE BLIZZARD.
Report. of Damage san Coming In.

Reports of Damage still Coming In.
AS later reports are received regarding the
terrific wind storm which swept across Pis-
cataquis county last Tuesday, 1t becomes owl
dent that the half has not been told. North
OF Williamsburg acres of timber, owned by
the Katshdin Iron Works railway were blown
to the ground. The company will at once put
a crew of men to work in order to save as much
as possible of the timber. Above the sound Of
the gale could be heard the falling of the tim
Der, the crash of which could be heard for
miles. 1t is a cause of wonderment to all that
some OF the men who were in the forest
through which the gale passed were not injur-
ed or killed. Gen. Chas. Hsmlin, OF Bangor,
was at Katahdn Iron Works Wednesday. and
says that he should estimate the loss to timber
in that immediate vicinity would amount to
$4,000.
Acres Of timber on the west branch Of the
Piscataquis were leveled as smooth Is IL the
trees had been cut to clear farm. Many
trees we're blown into the stream, which will
have to be cleared before driving. The heavy
trees fell first and on these vera piled small
trees and brush. The timber that has been
blown down will in many cases be worthless,
as it will cost more than it is worth to get 1t
out of the tangle. Large trees weFs torn up
by the roots, showing how strong must have
been the force OF the wind. A number Of
trees fell upon a tent in which were a num-
ber of men, but fortunately no one was in
jured.
A theory is advanced that the severe gale
produced q whirlwind in Katahdin valley. No
ordinary gale could have caused such demoli-
ton. Gentlemen who have seen places laid
waste by the winds say that nothing except
tornado could have created such ruin. Great
trees were blown and twisted about as though
they were toothpicks
Reports from Northern Penobscot and
Southern Aroostook indicate that the damage
to timber lands in those sections must have
been large.
The roof of logging camp in Township 5,
Range 9, was blown off, but none Of the crew
were injured.

Some of Ets More Important Features.

Congressman Diugley was in Rockland We'd
nesday, where he met by appointment num-
Der of Captains of vessels engaged in the for
eigu trade, and other gentlemen interested in
matters affected by the provisions OF the ship
ping bill which he'll preparing to Introduce
early in the coming session. he desired more
especially to ascertain what difficulties are en-
countered by American vessels in foreign ports
and what remedial provisions it is desired to
incorporate into the bill to meet such difficult
ties. He also visited Camden and Thomaston,
and has recently been in New York, for the
purpose OF gathering similar information. He
finds substantial unanimity among those inter-
estsd, excepting that importers ask for the ad-
mission of foreign built ships to American reg
istry-a thing that no other class desires Mr..
DiagIey's bill it is understood, will provide
for the total abolition OF all consular fees, and
for the payment Of consus in full from the
treasury by salaries. He is also considering
the advsability of providing for the extension
of the law admitting materials for the con-
struction of wooden vessels for the foreign
trade in bond, free of duty.

Is there anything in any OF the numerous ad-

show that the Royal does not use Ammonia

the slightest insiauation in those advertise
ments, that Cleveland's Superior Baking
Powder contains anything hut the purest
Grape Cream of Tartar and Bicarbonate of
Soda, with small portion of -four as pre-

The third system consists of two VII .sBo. IN

These shutters serve only to cover tkS-@7

passes into the central part of the wall the
finally opening into the inside through
wall of the vestry, near the ceiling Thee
ing on the inside of the wall is much sn
than that ON tine outside, making the air
in with force and quantity greater thai
inside opening would seem to warrant
valve arrangement closes mp the inside o.
ing, whenever necessary. This valve is so s
ranged that the cold air which comes into the
room IS thrown up to the ceiling some ten feet
from the wall, and thence disperses itself inn
perceptibly over the room. This last System
need not be used except in eases of extreme
heat. The large audience room Is ventilated
above by latticed windows in each gable, and
the orifces Of these are covered with large
trap or valve which Can be opened or closed st
pleasure.
In addition to the above arrangements 10
may be added that all the windows OF all the
rooms in the church are hinged at the bottom,
so that whenever in mild weather it is desira-
BILE to ventilate through them, the cold air is
directed upward as it enters any room. BY
neither system is cold air allowed to strike
upon any part of the audience, and the sexton
informs me that he can change the air in the
church in ten minutes time, no matter what
the condition of tho atmosphere, and that the
audience will not know by any drafts that the
air is being changed.
The practical inquiry is how caa any or all
of these systems he utilized in our school
buildingS? L am by no means familiar with
the structure of the buildings, but it seems to
me that the second system (and it isvery efi-
cieJD might be introduced into almost any
building at comparatively little expense. Any
service that the writer can render in this
important matter will be cheerfully given,
w.
THE second system appears to have for its
object solely the introduction of warmed fresh
air; but it does not provide any means of
drawing OFF the foul air, which is quite as
necessary But the description OF which has
been done at the Pine street church Is in
teresting and suggestive.-ED
