Capt. Randall browns Himself,

The New York Herald of sunday last contains the
following sad particulars of the death of Waldo
County sea captain The barkentine Ii. l.. Gregg,
from Guantanamo with cargo of sugar, arrived
in New York yesterday Chief Officer Hodgkins,
who in command reported that on Friday
evening, when the vessel was lying at anchor OH
Quarantine, Captain Randall, the vessels comman
der. sprang overheard and was lost.
The vessel sailed for New York on October 81, and
the voyage was unusually tempestuous. Many of the
sails were split and the rigging otherwise dam
aged. Captain Randall rarely left the deck during
the severe gales and had very little sleep during the
entire voyage He was completely out when
the IL. l.. Gregg anchored off the ightship, but
nothing unusual noticed in his manner. A
few minutes before midnight he left his cabin aft
ter removing his hat, coat and shoes. The man on
deck saw him but i'll a minute the Captain had
gained the rail and leaped into the sea A life
buoy Immediately thrown after the Captain
and Il boat lowered but he sank from sight almost
instantly. The first Officer is of the opinion that
the severe mental strain Of the voyage made the
Captain temporarily insane.
The unfortunate officer was orn in Stockton
Me-, thirty-eight years ago. He rose rapidly in
his profession and was noted for his prudence He
has been in the owners service for some years He
caves Il widow and family at Searsport.

Thankful! for the manifold blessings which Il

EX-President Arthur died at his residence in
New FORK city at o'clock Wednesday morn
ing Nov. II. A sudden but not wholly uneX-
pected apoplectc stroke brought his long i'll
ness to fatal close. The stroke came in his
sleep between Tuesday night and Wednesday
morning, and he did not rally thereafter. His
death was painless and for hours before the
end came he was unconscious Of his surround
ings. While his immediate friends knew that
the case was hopeless people generally We're
unprepared for the sad news, and it called forth
profound expressions of sympathy from all
parts of the country. The usual proclamation
was issued by the President and the department
buildings ordered draped in mourning for thir-
ty days. The funeral services were held Mon
day morning at the church of Heavenly Rest,
New York, Rev. ID. Parker Morgan officiating.
Mr.. Arthur was not member of any church,
but his wife formerly attended that church,
and loyalty to her memory has been one of the
distinctive features of his character The funeral
was attended by the President, Secretaries Bay
ard, Whitney and Lamar and Postmaster Gen
eraI Villas, Hon. James G. Blaine, and many
other prominent men and personal friends Of
the deceased.
The incidents of Chester A. Arthur's career
are too fresh in the public mind to call for repe-
ttiOn now. 1t was but a few years ago that he
was the chief magistrate of the nation, and he
filled that office in a manner that won for him
the commentator of all. The New York
Tribune pays merited tribute to the deceased
in the following words:
-Four Republican Presidents, who had filled
that office with honor, have gone to their rest.
Two who fell by the hands of assassins We're
mourned by the whole world. The third,
whose remains were followed to their resting
place by great army of citizens and soldiers,
lived to receive hOnOrs throughout the civilized
world such as no other man has received in his
life time. The President whose name is now
added to this honored roll has an especial dis
tnction in this he was the first Vce-Presdent
in the history of the Republic who, having sue
ceeded to the Presidency, did not disappoint
those by whom he was elected. The exceeding
difficulties and disadvantages of Presidency
by inheritance must have been greater to him
than to any other Vice-Presdent so promoted,
and like every other he failed to secure an cleo
ton by the people to the office he had filled,
but the trials and distrusts the anXieties and
disappOintments of his position, failed to
swerve him from his principles. In this was
shown the characteristic for which he will be
most honOred; he was faithful to trusts, to
friends, and to duty. Made President in the
midst of most bitter fight of factions, he tried
to be and to remarkable extent he was the
President of no faction. Accident gave him
rank, but not the honorable reputation which
he fairly won. AS an executive officer, he had
been tried and found worthy i'm military SER
vice and in this city, and he was found worthy
| In the Presidency. As leader of party or of
public opinion he would have failed, even if his
circumstances had been less trying and Grip
| pling.

Who Took the Life of Abner COburn?

week or two ago we wrote to the Bangor News
Co., for a copy of the Life of Abner Coburn, and
promptly received notice that the book had been
mailed. After waiting several days and not re
ceiving the book the senders notified and
they responded by saying that second copy had
been sent. This also failed TO arrive and the News
Co. We're again notified. The book came by the
western mail of Wednesday evening Nov. Ii, bear
ing three Bangor postmarks, on none of which was
the date legible; and the eastern mail Thursday
morning brought the following note from the Ban
gor News Co, under date Nov. IL:
We have made enquiries at the p. 0. here and
they say there are no books at this end of the
route. Would send you another copy with pleas
ure if we had one, but the second copy sent You
was the last one Sorry.
1t is impossible to say whether the book received
was the first on second one sent. If the latter it
must have been nearly one week coming from Ban
gor to Belfast If the former about ten DAYS. Why
is this And who has the missing book.
