The Steamer Sebaeo.

A Harrison correspondent of the Lewiston
Journal writes; "The steamer Sebago has
been raised and is lying at her wharf in Har-
rison. An investigation of the cause of her
sinking revealed the fact that the valve used
for forcing out water from the inside was
open, and every circumstance of the previous
condition of the boat up to the evening previ-
Gus to the disaster, gives good reason to be-
lieve that the valve was opened by malici-
GUS person with the intent to sink the boat.
The valve being adjusted and made all right,
good repair. A correspondent Of The Argus IS
from Harrison represents the boat as being
rotten and unsafe, and asserts that she has
been so leaky as to be kept afloat on several
occasions by vigorous pumping, all of which
Mr.. Gibbs, owner of the Sebago, pronounces
false without qualification. The Argus letter
is considered libelous, and suit for damages

A Grateful Patient.

Twelve years ago Edward B. Mallett, Jr.,
now of Freeport, then in Elizabeth City, N
j., while examining a revolver was acct
dentally shot, bullet entering his left hand,
where it lodged. Mr. Mallett went to New
York city and placed himself under the care
of DR.. Green Of Lafayette College, Philadel-
phia, and DR.. Hale of New York. An ex-
animation was made, and after much cutting
and probing the doctors failed to find the
ball, and in their opinion the ball had glanc-
ed out. The wound healed to a certain ex-
tent, but has troubled Mr.. Mallett more or
less, until few weeks ago he called the at
tentlon OF his family physician, DR.. Fl. F.
IWltchell, to make a careful and thorough
examination. DR.. Twitchell, assisted by Dr.
ID. d. Spear, proceeded with an operation.
and were very soon rewarded by finding the
bullet in the bones of the third finger of the
hand, where it had remained ever since the
accident, twelve years ago. Dr. Twitchell
found much diseased bone near the bullet.
which he removed, then scraping and clean
ing the bones connected Herewith, dressed
the wound and made the patient as comfort
able as possible. MI. Mallett, upon regain
ing his senses, was perfectly delighted with
the grand success of the operation, and was
profuse in his thanks to the attending ply
sicians, and in appreciation of their skill and
success proposes to endow for one year two
free beds in the Maine General Hospital, one
for Freeport and one for Pownal.

intelligent face Last night, at the station,

his knees and his eyes fixed ON the floor He
spoke once or twice to the officers, but seldom
raised his eyes, His pipe was placed in his
mouth and Lit for him, Hayes taking some
matches from his vest pocket for the purpose.
When asked as to the trouble which led to
the murder, he said: 81 can't tell YOU
much" and refused to talk.

was once implicated in stabbing ARRAY at
st. John. Hayes told one of the officers
last night that he had been here three or

Dangerous PIaythlngs.

Saturday night Capt. Daniel Tobey was
sitting in Richard Collins store, corner of
Pearl and Fore street, when a bullet whistled
by his head and could not afterwards be

bow-gun with which many of the boys in the
city are now armed. The other day one lust
missed the head of Mrs. LeGrow, who was
In her garden near the corner of Preble and
Oxford streets, and buried itself in the

Bates College Finances.

President Cheney of Bates College, Lewis.
ton, was in Augusta Friday. He went to
consult with Mr.. Blaine who has been one
of the trustees of the college from the begin
ming. Since the loss of the Bates subscrip-
ton of $1S3,0O0 the institution has been
obliged to raise three or four thousand an
nually to meet current expenses. We under
stand that the expenditures for the
academical year ending last June
were $16, 405.93, and the receipts for that
year were $15, 565.35, leaving floating debt
of $S405S. To meet this and to make the
college free from debt another year will re-
quire about $4,000. Mr.. Blaine has very gen.
erously subscribed $125.
