to bed as usual and in the morning her par

tive True was sent for and, on examining
the ground around the house, which was
soft, he found by the side of her tracks those

man thirty years old, who has family in
Gardiner. Detective Simpson traced them
to Roxbury, Mass, where the girl was going
to work in aprinting office. She said she
ran away from home because her parents
wouldn't let her go to dances.
An Associated Press despatch says that
she eloped with Eugene Bailey of Augusta,
married man % years old, leaving her
home in the night to flee with him. The
pair went to Boston where they were dis
covered at 10 Ashland street by the detec-

The losses to life and shipping, which have
resulted from the effects of the ships local
attraction on the mariners compass, have
been numerous and disastrous. The solu-

ever been one of perplexity to seamen and

applied, have been upon the principle that
1.-The like cures the like
Within the lastfew days there has been
shown in this city the workings of an i'm
proved mariners compass, upon principle
so new and novel, that it has attracted much
attention. This invention is the result Of
two years study and experiment by two
young electricians of this city, Mr.. Howard
M. Breen and Charles II. O'Brien. 1t has
been seen by prominent nautical and scienti-
fic men of this city and elsewhere who from
being incredulous at first ended by having
full faith in its merits.
The invention promises to be one of
world wide Importance.

Wreck of the Dlda Clark

Letters have been received from Capt c.
Z. Clark, by Capt. Merriman of Harpswel,
managing owner of the bark Dida E. Clark,
recently wrecked in Matanzas Harbor. Capt.
Clark reports that the vessel is worse than
a total loss" for the reason that she went
ashore inside the harbor limits of Matanzas,
and therefore the authorities levied harbor
dues upon her. 1t is very doubtful whether
these can be collected as affairs now stand.
Capt. Clark says he was obliged to enter the
port without the aid of pilot, and being I'M
familiar with the locality, and the chart be-
ing an insufficient guide, the vessel stranded
on bar just inside and became total loss
There was no sea running at the time, and
the crew were not only able to save them
selves but to strip the ship of rigging, sails
and all their personal property which was on
board at the time. No assistance was rem
dered from the shore, although it is doubtful
If any could have been given. The value of
the saved material win be sufficient to pay the
expenses of the captain and crew to Port
land, but otherwise the Clark will prove an
entire loss, as there was little, IL any, insur-
ance on her

Alo for EDITOR Hunter-

1t will be remembered that inthe Farming
ton fire the office Of the Chronicle newspaper,
recently purchased by Mr.. J. NJ. S. Hunter,
was entirely destroyed together with the
type and presses. Mr.. Hunter also lost his
household goods, his brother was burned
out and also his mother and his father-in-
law. The blow was a crushing one. but
with characteristic pluck he has gone vigor-
ously to work to repair his shattered fortunes
and in short time his paper will be re-
issued. Mr.. Hunter has great many
friends in Portland who, we have no doubt.
will be glad to avail themselves of the on
portunity which is now presented to lend
MN helping hand. For many years he
was connected with the PRESS, first in the
position of foreman and subseouentlv nc
night editor, and many of the readers of
the PRESS during those years who were not
personally acquainted with him NAV wish
to TESTIFY in substantial way to their APP
preciaton OF his faithful work which did
much to make the paper valuable and enioy-
aDle' Inc subscription price of the Farm
ington Chronicle is So per year. We would
Suggest That graceful and at the same time
an eiiectual way to assist Mr.. Hunter at this
crisis would be to subscribe for The Chroni-
Gle. The PRESS will undertake to receive and
forward any contributions for this purpose
ana VIII forward them to Mr. Hunter. Or
IL the Contributor prefers he can send the
money direct to Mr.. Hunter whose address
is Pennington, Maine.

THE JAIL WORKSHOP.
The Conviots Probably to be Re-
moved from Portland Jail.

Friday the County Commissioners closed
the Jail workshop and went home. Sheriff
True later, left note on their desk announc-
ing his appointment of Mr.. Pencil as su-
perintepdent of the shop. Yesterday the
Commissioners notified Mr.. Drew, one of the
contractors for the work done at the jail,
that there was no work for the men and
stopped the engine and cut off the heat from
the shop. Sheriff True does not deny the
authority of the commissioners to close
the shop. The point the sheriff makes is as
to his authority to appoint the superinten-
dent.
Yesterday afternoon the County Commits
sioners notified Prison Inspector Osgood
that they should request the prison inspect
ors to remove the conyicts to a Jail where
there is workshop. This the inspectors
have authority to do under section 10. chap
ter 40, Revised Statutes which provides
that:

The approaching grand drill and ball of
the Cadets November sd, is the prevailing
conversation among many, especially the
young ladies and gentlemen of the city, and
the cause of much preparation. No organ

annual ball, and the public well know of
the large and appreciative audience which
meets them each year. Their guests, the

Der of men in their ranks, and our citizens
will have an opportunity to see the company
that Manchester is so proud Of The sale of

Maine Water Gas and insurance.

To The Editor Of the Press:
Dear Sir-In your issue of yesterday yeu
say that up to O'Clock p. NJ, on Monday,
no official notification has been received by
the Portland Board of Underwriters from
the New England Insurance Exchange re-
garding their action in permitting the use of
our apparatus without extra insurance rates.
This fact is accounted for by this other fact
that all these official acts are printed and
then sent outby the secretary which requires
from two to four days according to the
amount of business he has on hand. Two
members of the Exchange were in Portland
yesterdayand informed the secretary of the
Portland Board, and Messrs. Palmer and
Anderson that such action was taken just as
| claimed in your issue of Monday morning.
The official copy of notice and permit will
be published in these columns as soon as re-
ceiyed. In spite of Mr.. George w. Blake's
wishes to the contrary, the permission has
been granted, and Mr.. b. will have to find
fault with the Exchange for doing it and not
m for telling about it.
Respectfully,
r. III. ROSE, Manager.
