Fish Frozen to Death in the Gulf of Mex
leo.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 5.-A well-known
civil engineer has arrived here from Flor
ida, where he has been engaged in land
surveying. He states that during the re-
cent cold snap, while he was making a
voyage from Tampa to Cedar Keys, the
schooner in which he had embarked was
wrecked off Cedar Keys. All hands es-
capped with their lives, but suffered great
~ from the cold. The salt water froze on
the reef in the Gulf of Mexico, upon which
the vessel struck, and great numbers OF
fish, chiefly sheephead and red tish,
which had been killed by the cold,
foated on the water, covering the sur
face for miles. Inquiries among 1isher-
men and other elected the fact that dur
ing the same cold spell fish were killed
on the Louisiana coast and were then
floating by the thousands from the
Rigolets to points far to the eastward.
The fact that fish can be killed by the
degree of cold that can be experienced
in the Gulf of Mexico, has been doubted,
but authentic instances have now been
reported.

The Great Southwestern Music House.

The Great Southwestern Music House.
 Considering the natural advantages of the two places, and the enterprising character of their business men, it is but natural that Memphis, Tenn., and Little Rock, Ark, should be the commercial centers and great supply depots of their own and several adjoining states. Among the business houses of the two cities there Is none that stands higher or better de- serves the trade it commands than the Great Southwestern Music House of H. G. Hollenberg. A business career .f over thirty years in Memphis and of six years in Little Rock, during which these houses have virtually controlled the music trade of Arkansaw, Tennessee, Mississippi, north Alabama, north Texas and the Indian Territory, places them prominently above all southern competi. tors. These houses carry the largest and most complete stock of the best m akes of pianos and organs, sheet music and all goods pertaining to their line, and are prepared to fill orders without any delay, and at prices less than the purchaser can obtain in the east, freight considered. All goods handled by H. G. Hollenberg are comprised In neat catalogue which will be mailed free to any address. Par ties contemplating the purchase of a piano, or organ, or musical merchandise of any description, should not tail to obI. tain Hollenberg's prices before ordering elsewhere. Address, H. G. Hollenberg, Memphis, Tenn, or Little Rock, Ark.

Republican State Convention.

To-day "Wednesday i> a "red-letter" day
at Lewiston. Tie Republican State Con-
vention, represented by delegates from
nearly every city, town and plantation in the
State is in session in that city, and the work
that viii be 50 auspiciously performed there
to-day will open the Republican campaign in
the good old State Of Maine.
Of this convention the KenHebec journal
saws: The most remarkable harmony and
good feeling have prevailed in all sections
of the State at the caucuses which have
been held Whether they have been for
Bodwell or Hamln there has been no dis
pute, no wrangling. and whatever the de-
cision may be as to the candidate to be sup
ported for Governor, there will be cordial
unanimlty in his support at the polls
throughout the length and breadth Of the
republican party in this State. Our oppo-
nents, the democracy, have been fattering
themselves that the republicans would not
be harmonious in the State campaign, but
they are not going to see their predictions
fulfilled. If they would speak the truth Of
their own party they would pronounce it
bopelessly distracted, rent and torn by
warning factions, wrecked by incompetent
leadership, and doomed to bitter defeat in
the September election
1t is good thing for republicans to meet
together in these great conventions and
catch the inspiration and enthusiasm which
they create and send out by the delegates
into all parts of the State. This year the
elections are important. The Lew ston con-
vention will strike the key note OF the CAM
paign.

On "Wednesday Of next week the citizens
OF Ellsworth will be called upon to cast
their ballots for or against most impor-
tant question, viz The question Of the ae-
eeptanoe or uon- acceptance Of the proposal
Of the Ellsworth Water Company, or such

in many respects important because with
the service. if we accept it, will come great
convenience to our citizens, largely increased
protection against FIRE, and greatly improved
sanitary conditions, while, on the other

on the other side Of the line large number
of Canadian or New Brunswick fishermen or
boatmen. who catch the fsh and sell them
