Who Was At Fault.

The collision of the steamer Corning of the Starin line and the schooner Foam in the har- bor Wednesday night is still the subject o f conversation in many q uarters and it is said that there is talk of an investigation in order to ascertain who was to blame for the disas- ter. The officers of the Foam aver that there was signal light on that vessel, and the Corning watchmen of the opinion that there was none. If there was it was not vis- ible to the five men on the Corning who were watching for lights. No light was wis., ible after the vessel struck. Mir. c. NJ. Conklin, agent for tue Starin line, thinks that there was lantern in it's proper place on the schooner, but that the light in it had expired. It is his theory that the lantern had been lighted and the crew of the vessel retired to bed and the captain of the Foam thinks that the light was all right, because it had never gone out before after being estab- lished for the night. The crew of the sunken schooner were all in their hunks when the collision occurred. That all were rescued is a marvel, and speaks volumes of praise for Captain Spoor and his efficient crew, who saved the lives of every man on board the Foam,

Who win Pay For the Houseq

Who VIII Pay For the House?
 During the late Portland fire a building was torn down to prevent the fire from spreading. It WAS insured in the Peoples Fire Insurance company of Hartford, which was asked to pay the amount of the policy. It declines, for the following reasons: ''The Rostron building was torn down on the oc casion of the fire in Portland. That Mrs. Rostron should receive compensation for the same we do not for one moment deny, but as it was done for the public good, let the public pay the bill. The Peoples Fire h. surance company insured the bnilding against fire, had it been destroyed by this element, the loss would have been paid long ere this
 In paying for this building, even if the com pany was disposed to, it would be establish ing precedent which would be dangerous in the extreme. That this building would have burned had it been left standing is not c er- tain. Should the company pay for this doubt? We say no. Let the seIectmen of Portland call town meeting and there pass l vote to reimburse Mrs. Rostrou for her loss The practice has always been where a building is destroyed by the order of the city or town authorities for the city or town to pay for the same. Many men, in case of an emergency like the one at the time of this fire, lose their head and do rash things. Not that this was the fact in this case, but if building can be torn down within ten feet of a burning building and the loss collected from the insurance company, who shall say that building five hundred feet away may not also be destroyed under the same law?

A Safeguard.

The fatal rapidity with which slight Colds and Coughs frequently develop into the gravest maladies of the throat and lungs, is consideration which should impeI every prudent person to keep at hand, as a household remedy, bottle of AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL.
 Nothing else gives such immediate relief and works so sure cure in all affections of this class. That eminent physician, Prof. r. Sweetzer, of the Maine Medical School, Brunswick, Me-, says =
 "Medical science has produced no other ano- dyne expectorant so good as AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL. It is invaluable for diseases of the throat and lungs"
 The same opinion Is expressed by the well-Lnown Dr. L. J. Addison, of Chicago, H., who says:-
 "I have never found, in thirty-fve years of continuous study and practice of medicine, any preparation of so great value as AYERS CHERRY PEcToRAL, for treatment of diseases of the throat and lungs. It not only breaks up colds and cures severe coughs. but is more enective than anything else in relieving even the most serious bronchial and pulmonary ateet1ons.

 On Wednesday towards evening began a rain that continued most of the night.

On Thursday ali was changed. The Supreme Being was accounted the good Lord by every body. Compliments in his honor abounded. Grass praised him, tobacco plants praised him. And the tobacco cut worm was on hand.

Tilden is firm friend of Henry B Payne. He has been interested in the movement from the start, and his in- fuence for New York is guaranteed. Then MT Payne's son-in-Iaw, William Whitney, of New York, has considerable influence with John Kelly, and John Kelly himself is per sonally interested in Payne's candidacy Thus New York, the principal stronghold for any candidate, is secured already.
