ANOTHER RACE EXPECTED.
Courtney and conIeyisto Challenge
Ross and Mate.

The Boston hacker of Courtney and Conley says
''Wallace Ross and mate stated some time ago
that they would challenge and row the winners of
the double scull race at Troy, n. Y, on the 18th
of October If Courtney and Conley should win,
it was my intention to back them against Ross
and mate Now learn that instead of waiting to
know who the winners of the race are, Ross is Co
quoting with Hanlan for a double scull race. I'm
der these circumstance l feel justified in antici-
pating by 10 days a proposition which had de-
termned to offer Ross and his partner. 1t is this:
Courtney and Conley, If they defeat Hanlan and
Lee, will row Ross and mate (and he may select
any man living as partner, not excepting Han
Ian or Beach,, for $1,000 side. We will close
the match before the race at Troy is decided, con-
ditional on the match standing only if Courtney
and Conley win. We will make the match before
the race of the 18th, if that is agreeable. If Ross
wants to row we will deposit here in Boston imme-
diately, or if he prefers to make the match at
Troy, / shall be there next Wednesday or Thurs
day, and Mr.. Spelman and will meet him wher-
ever he wants meeting. and put up deposit
Ger challenging the winners, to make special ar
rangement with one OF the doubles to row that
crew, win or lose. If we win against Hanlan and
Lee, we will be prepared to defend the title of
champions against all comers, no matter who they
are or how mated"
The final deposit of $500 side in the Hanlan-
Lee and Courtney -Conley match was made in
New York last Thursday. The match continues
to create widespread interest and the two doubles

will be rowed in faster time than 1888, which

The Maine Office Seekers.

The Boston Advertiser special of Saturday from
Washington, says Cleaves and Wilson left for
home Friday night satisfied that the President is
too busy to attend to Maine offices. Chairman
Brown will remain to remind the President that
Maine Democrats want office very badly. Col.
Merrill and John D. Anderson are after Ex-Gov-
ernor Connor's place, but Col. Morton is sugges-
ted for the position. The latter doesn't want the
Railway Mail Service Suporintendency. 1t is
thought he will get something although Wilson
will oppose him.
The Journal says the last appeal to the Presi-
dent was for T. A. Coles appointment to the post
mastership at Thomaston, while Editor Rustis
working for the Belfast eollectorship
The Post says the feeling is growing that the
president may conclude to appoint some man who
has not been an active candidate for collector of
Portland. Ex-senator Bradbury of Augusta has
recommended Hon. Joseph Titcomb of Kenne-
bunk. Mayor Deering of Portland has been rec
commended by several gentlemen as the best man
for the place. One man describes him as "by all
odds the shrewdest Democratic leader in the
State" The friends of Judge Redman still think
there is chance that he will be the safe conduct
or of the presidential lightning"
The Sunday Herald says Washington has been
crowded with hungry Democrats from Maine and
the railroads between Bangor and Washington
ought to pay an extra half per cent. dividend this
year because of the increased passenger travel
growing out of the hunger for offices. There has
not been anyreal necessity for the presence of a
Democratic ofice-seeker from Maine in Washing
ton for six months Not one of them who has
come has helped himself in any way by coming.
The appeals they have made to the President
have not been worth the making, and the results
have been generally disappointing do not think
the men from any other State have worried the
President so much as the Maine men. There may
be as intense office hunger in other states but it
does not find expression here to such an extent.
Even the Missouri man hardly Graves patronage
so grossly. Then, too Maine seems to be filed
with small Democratic bosses and busy bodies
who imagine that the Offices cannot be changed
without their aid. II every State were like Maine
Washington would soon be city OF 100000 peo-
The President would soon die of exhaustion, and
the Republicans would have all the Offices again

Many Injured.

preached the second or large section, and prob
ably had run mile before they struck it, The
engineer of the rear section saw the cars ap-
preaching. but only had time to stop his train be-
fore it struck him. The brakemen tried to put on
the brakes, but they had difficulty in running from
car to car on account of wagons which impeded
their progress. Had the engineer of the rear sec
tion only few moments more time he could have

tremendous force, throwing three sleepers from
the track and smashing them beyond recognition
More than one hundred men were buried in the
debris. The scene can hardly be described The
night was fearfully dark and the groans of the
men were appalling. The people in the rear sec
ton at once Began tho work of removing the men,
five of whom were found dead and many others
wounded and bleeding. Word was at once sent

marine hospital this morning from small poX.
Great excitement was caused yesterday in St.
Saureur when the public vaccinator entered two
of the large French schools there for the purpose
of vaccinating the scholars The pupils became
greatly alarmed owing to previous erroneous
Statements about the severity of vaccination, and
also that they would be put to the severe test by
force ii they would not submit. Entire classes
rushed from the schools and home to their parents,
who consequently became eXasperated and pro-
ceeded to the schools in peaceful state of mind.
who expostuated with them and finally got them
to understand the necessity of vaccination. The
crowd then dispersed without doing any violence.

PORTLAND, Oct. g. 1885.
To the Editor of the Press
Experience under the new special delivery sys-
TEN at the post ONCE warrants me in calling at
tention, especially to three points for observance
by those who make use of it, viz:
1st The special 10 cent stamp provided for
that purpose must be used, not ordinary postage
stamps.
I'd. This special 10 cent stamp must be in adj
dition to the regular letter postage stamp, other
wise the letter will not reach its destination ex-
cept through the dead letter office.
Sd. Parties who use postal card for special
delivery must also attach a 1 cent stamp so as to
make it equal to letter postage otherwise it will
not have immediate delivery.
Letters received through the mails Sunday bear
ing special delivery stamp will be delivered by
the messengers that day, but local drop letters
during Sunday will be delivered at o'clock Mon
day morning.
AS it is presumed that this service will be large
ly used for local city communication it is import
ant that street and number be given to secure
rapid delivery.
Special delivery stamps may be had at the post
office and also of the regularly authorized stamp
agents, viz: A. S. Kinds, Brackett and Pine

is hoped that she may safely make passage to

THE ROW oYER THE PENNANr

THE ROW OVER THE PENNANT.
Saturday, the game between the Lawrence and
Brockton teams was postponed on account of the
game to the Lawrences Friday, and one to the
NewburypOrts Saturday forenoon, the Brocktons
have lost their lead for the pennant. and are tied
with the Lawrences There is, however. another
phase of the matter that possibly may prove the
solution of the whole controversy. 1t Is In rela-
tion to the playing of one Flynn, pitcher, by the
Lawrence club Flynn was formerly member Of
the Meriden club of Meriden, Conn. That club
disbanded about Sept. 18th, the exact date not
being at hand, and on Sept. 18th Flynn signed to
play with the Lawrences. The Metropolitans Of
New York, however, claim to have prior hold on
Flynn. A despatch from Manager Clifford, of the
Metropolitans, states that Flynn accepted terms
and advance money from that club; that his con-
tract had been forwarded to Secretary Wikoff of
the American Association, and Flynn did not
report he would be expelled. despatch from
Secretary Wikoff states that Sept 18th is the
The Lawrence club claims that the Metropolitans
had no right to engage with Flynn on Sept 18TH
as 1t was on that date that the MeridenS disband-
ed, and the 18th was the earliest day on which he
could sign. The Brockton club claims that the
MetTopOltans' hold on Flynn Is good one; In
was under legal contract with the Metropolitan
club. This whole matter hinges upon the exact
date of the diSbandment of the Merideps as both
sides agree that if Flynn was playing with the
LawrenceS while he was under legal contract
with the Metropolitans, then the six games that
be thrown out. This phase of the controversy Is
being investigated.
