tain ordered the masts cut away, in hopes that
the vessel would hold together longer. Ii was
4eou found, however. that the vessel was
rapidly breaking up under the merciless blows
OF the angry waves. and expecting momentar-
iiy to be- swept off. we Invested ourselves OF all
unnecessary clothing. and with nothing but
our Undertaking on stood shiverins on the
deck awaiting we knew not what. could not
swim. and finding the house WAS breaking
away. concluded to lash myself 10 ii. The
others followed my example. and we soon
drifted away from the vessel. We were drift
ny about from 10 o'clock until O'Clock the
next morning. when we drifted ashore in
small cove completely exhausted. Everett
STANLEY got his ankle badly hurt during the
night. II did not take Us very long TO get
/ ashore and we ran for the nearest house, but
/ could not awaken the inmates. Then seeing a
light little farther on We started for it. and
/ happier set of men you never saw when the
/ good old farmer said. Come in, boys. and get
warm. He gave US good breakfast, and
/ found US all clothing enough to cover our
nakedness. Capt. Rich concluded to stay and
look after the vessel, and through the kindness
! Of the collector of customs at Portsmouth. we
obtained passage TO Portland, where We ex-
! peet TO obtain pass TO our home at fremont.
| We lost everything we had. all our clothing,
except what we had on. The vessel was own
ed by ii. I'll. CLARK. of fremont, and valued al
about 81 800. The captain owned a small
piece of her. The vessel and cargo will be q
total loss The vessel was an old craft, repair
ed two years ago. Her cargo was lJ0 tons OF
coal and she had been eight days out from
New York. The men pictured their suffering
on the wreck as being fearful in the extreme
The night was to them, they said, one Of grea
anxiety and fear. Wilson wanted his com
panions to cut bis throat, so intense was hi
suffering. The water was continually surgint
about them, and often they were completely en-
quilted by the waves. II was with great diff
fieulty that they were able to retain their posi-
ton on the house after they left the wreck
Their safe arrival on shore was an almost mir
aculous escape.

1t must not be supposed from the position
taken by the Intellisrncer upon The water
tax that the paper is ut all the advocate of The
water company. Its natural and first duty
l. to the people. and it proposes while being
Just to the company. to defend their inter.
ests. We do not believe in unnecessarily
nagging Mr. Jones. That sort of a conr-e
CAN only deter enterprises from being located
In our midst. Neither he nor his company
have had anything, SO far, to say about the
tax, and they have not asked the city to &C.
cept the works rs they are. SO far so good.
But while we do not believe in captious fault
finding there are two things 10 be said, fairly:
l. The people of the city have assumed the
obligation to pay the company $4,000 per
snnum for q certain consideration. This OBJ
legation will not be shlrked; indeed the city
Is upon this point ahead Of the company, at
some cost to the Taxpayers. On the other
hand the company has assumed obligations
which the council and the people propose to
see fulfilled to the letter. We think the
majority of the council, If not the entire
body, take this view. The only question at
issue Of vital importance is the water sup
ply. There is in the city a very considerable
and strong opposition to the well plan Of
supply. We think it would be very unwiss
for Mr., Jones to decide this question for
himself; and that it would be slmost As .un-
wise for the council to decide it. The better
way will be to select an intelligent commit
tee representing all the interests, with the
majority given to the citizens, to agree upon
q plan beforehand. We fear, II this Is
not done, and If the company concludes to
use q well. that there will be moro or less
trouble about it. 2. There Is good ground
of complaint against Mr.. Jones for his care
les.ne Is as to the condition of our streets.
Until his bitches we're dug Main and Frank
lin streets In the business part Of town were
rarely muddy, even after rains. Since then
they have been simply abominable. This has
resulted from Mr.. Jones' desire to save o few
dollars In tamping down the dirt. This II
wrong, and not in compliance with the letter
or spirit of his contract. Mr.. Jones should.
rs soon rs spring opens, restore the streets to
the condition In which he found them. If hs
does not do it, and do it as promptly a. posi-.
BILE, the city should have 1t done at his ex-
pense. The city aud the water company
must live together, and it is the part Of wis.,
dom for each to treat the other justly and
fairly, a. oiding any semblance Of sharp prac-
tice, or carelessness of equity and good faith.
At q meeting of the Old Soldiers Ch- rita
BILE Association. last Tuesday, A. A. Lesueur
was called to the chair, and J. ID. Conner
selected as secretary. On motion of J. D.
