Editor Elijah Upton.

The not unexpected announcement of the
death, at his home, in Bath, of Elijah Upton,
Esq, editor and senior proprietor of the
Bath Daily Times, reached us yesterday. He
was veteran journalist, and is outranked
by few of the editorial profession now in ac-
tive service in Maine AS early as the Ere
mont campaign, at the very inception Of the
Republican party, he was known as racy
and forcible editorial writer on the paper
published in Bath by James M. Lincoln, at
one time secretary of the Maine Senate; and
in 1867, in company with Major III. A.
Shorey, now of the Bridgten News, he be-
came senior editor and proprietor of the
Bath Daily Times, continuing the relations
with the exception of a few years, when the
paper passed temporarily into the hands of
''Toby Candor," ever since that period, max
ing up a continuous journalistic experience
of nearly a quarter of century.
Editor Upton and the Times have ever been
unswervingly Republican, and the paper has
done effective service for the Republican
cause in Sagadahec, one of our reliable Re-
publican strongholds. Mr.. Upton was racy
and vigorous political writer, and he has al
ways held high rank as a journalist. During
the past ten years he has been associated
with his youngest son in the publication of
the paper Mr. Upton has often been men,
Der of the Bath city government, and for
many years was Registrar of Probate for
Sagadahoc county. AS citizen and busi-
ness man he enjoyed high reputation for
integrity and fair-dealing, and was generally
esteemed as a high-minded, honorable man.
He leaves a widow and large family of
children to mourn his loss. The deceased
was 70 years of age at the time of his death.

BLACK PLAGUE IN A PRISON.
Hundreds of Patients Sick and Dying
from the Terrible MaIady.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Albany's model
penal institution, the county penitentiary, is
at present plague-stricken spot. Its 1000
inmates are exposed to the ravages Of
deadly form of typhus fever, which gained
foothold there about two weeks ago, and has
since baffled the efforts of the best physicians
to check its spread Twelve male convicts
are known to have thus far died of the dis
ease. One keeper has already fallen vic
tim to the malady, and another is not ex-
pected to survive the night. All the manu-
factories connected with the institution have
stopped work.
The hospital attached to the penitentiary
is reported overcrowded with patients, and
the question of securing suitable accOmmo-
dations for fresh victims is engrossing the
attention of the management. The latter
refuse all information concerning affairs at
ties have succeeded in muzzling the press,
which has scarcely made mention of the
fearful situation at the prison, the evident
purpose being to avert a panic in the COM
munity, sure to follow true statement of
the matter.
The epidemic is said to have all the char
acteristics of the black plague which deei-
mated London years ago. Camp and jail fever
are closely allied to this form Of typhus. A
corps of Albany's most skilled physicians
are at present on duty at the penitentiary,
and are working manfully to check the fur
ther spread of the epidemic, but it is believed
their labors have thus far proved unavailing:
The institution is Quarantined, and strict
watch is kept by the patrol guarding the
grounds to prevent the near approach OF an
persons. The officers of the .penltentlary
have always had natural pride III the ad-
mirable system prevailing among the IN
mates, who are compelled to observe the
most rigid sanitary and hygisnic regulations.

The DEPUTY sheriff's Yarn.

A fine joke was recently played, says the
Dexter, Me-, Gazette, on one of Sheriff Chap
mans deputies.
Said deputy was swelling around like
man who carried numerous railroads in his
pockets, and informed certain ex-deputy
that it was customary for the retiring officer
to impart to his successor all useful knowl-
edge, and also to deliver up to him his hand
cuffs, ETC., ETC.
''See here" exclaimed the deputy, "show
me how these things work"
'Oh, yes, says ex-deputy, and took the
bracelets, ,and before you could say Jack Rob
inson the deputy aforesaid was nicely hand
cutfed. Ex-deputy, with a sardOnic grin,
put the key in his pocket and modestly walk
ed off
''Hold on there" says deputy, 81 want you
to show me how to get these blamed things
off,"
Says ex-deputy. with his weather eye cock
ed up in manner that only Ben Butler could
equal: "There are certain things that the
retiring officer is supposed to impart to his
successor, but there are other points that the
present incumbent is supposed to pay for. l
reckon that you are in need of some informa-
ton that we sell to our successors and think
it would be decidedly for. your interest to
ante"
Deputy, after looking the matter over
calmly for few moments, perfectly agreed
with him, and the matter was adjusted in
manner perfectly satisfactory to the boys.

TEMPEST TOSSED.
Tough Experience of Eight Men of
Thomaston Schooner.

NEWPORT, r. l., Jan. 5.--The schooner
Harry Prescott, Capt. Turner, for Boston
from Brunswick, Ga, arrived this morning,
She has on board a shipwrecked crew, COM
prising eight men, who have had bitter ex-
perience. Capt. Turner reports that he left
Brunswick Dec 23d. Three days later he
experienced heavy gale, and on the Goth he
espied small yawl boat filled with men. He
made successful attempt to reach it, and to
save the men who were bobbing about on
the top of tempestuous sea. There were
eight men in the boat. They had been in it
twenty hours They belonged on the schoon-
er Horace o. Bright of Thomaston, Me, their
vessel having sunk in lat. 80 IL, long. 750 s, i,
or on the east side of the Gulf stream, about
800 miles from Brunswick, Ga. Naturally,
the increase in the number of sailors used
up his provisions A few days ago small
supply was obtained from bark Agnes of
Rostock. 1t seems that during the gale the
cargo of the schooner I'll. o. Bright shifted,
and this made the vessel leak. The men
were washed from the pumps, and were bad
ly used up. Her mainboom and maingaf
were carried away, and her sails were blown
to threads The crew remained by her in a
small boat, but she sank in an hour and a
half afterWard.
