The Maine Election.

Later returns from Maine show that the vie
tory is even more sweeping than lht figures of
Yesterday mornin. Indicated. Mr. BodWcI'~ :
plurality will exceed $4,000 and may reach n
600, while the Prohhitory vote will moi exceed
the estimates of Monday night The Demo
cratic vote is less than that Of 1SS2, the only
year which comparisons can he fairly made.
and the Republican plurality Of that year will
be nearly doubled. showing that, while the Re
publican party has made decided gains. the
Democratic party has not quite held its own.
In other words, the third party Prohibtory
movement has not affected the Republican party
in Maine TO amy apprcciable extent; il has gain
ed strength in spite of it. This is due to the
faith which the people OF Maine have in the
Republican position in regard 10 the tariff and
other industrial questions. There can be no
doubt that to the discussion of the tariff issue
and the attitude of the democratic House toward
it the Republican success is to be attributed.
The free trade ideas We're never popular in New
England. and the election in Maine proves that
they are less so now than ever before. Bo>-

Neal Dow Exposes Himself.

The curious and interesting interview with
Neal Dow. in Saturdays Tribune. in which he
state, reasons for thccour>c taken by him. by st.
John and other lie ldcrs Of the new third party
at the North. is important. a few Prohibit
ti0n>ts are cranks. or hrclingS Of the Demo-
cratic party: men of that sort will make all the
trouble they can, whether their cause is good or
bad. But very large proportion of the actual
OF possible Prohibition voters are upright and
sincere men. who mean to do their duty. To
them it is of the greatest Importance to know
whether the crusade against the Republican
party, to which they are invited, ha, Just cause
or honest purpose. If they see that Dow, ST.
John and other movers in that crusade, are un-
candid and are sacrificing the cause of prohihi-
ton to crafty spite or serve selfish ends, the
voters who really believe in Prohibition willact
accordingly. 1t is on this precise point that
MIR. Dow's interview pour> tlood of light.
Mr.. Dow is not candid in his review of the
history of Prohibition in Maine Iii, own let
tiers convicted him. Less than year ago he
wrote, The Maine law is aS welt executed a.

From Opulence to Poverty.

Richard oung, of Lower Merton, Pa,
twenty years ago was worth S4o,ooo. lie was
Justice of the peace. lie had two sisters
Sarah and Margaret-both inheriting COM
potency. The brother became addicted to
drink and now lives in utter poverty at Reitl' :
Corner. Hatfield township. His two sisters
have lust died in wretchedncS> and neglect.
Sarah was SiNty-SeNen years Old. The doctor
found her dirty and ragged, crouchcd in a
corner in the kitchen. Richard was intoNicat-
ed. The doctor left medicine but on the next
She was on the third floor in Il filthy room,
quite i'll, but able to chew tobacco in bed.
Margaret. the other sister. was seventy Years
old and suffering from rheumatism and entire
" helpless. The neighbors and poor authori-
ties were informed, but before they arrived
Sarah had died. There was no food in the
house. Everything was filth. The people who
prepared the woman for burial found things
in horrible condition.
While this was going on Margaret died All
their money had been exhausted. Pine collins
were furnished by the county officials, and the
women We're buried at Lcdy's Church without
any funeral ceremony whatever. There We're
no mourners. vet a short time ago the women
were respectable, well-to-do people. The
women spent all their money for laudanum.
How they lived during the past six months is
mystery. Everything had been spent For
months their house was closed and their
misery locked in with themselves unknown to
the ncighbors. Their story is the worst of its
kind that ever came to light in Montgomery
county.
Richard, the last survivor of the wrctched
family, is reported dying.

Perils of the Ocean,

The barquc Mary Graham, which has arriN-
c,l at Liverpool, England, from Quebec, had a
very adventurous voyage. She was laden with
timber. During the voyage She picked up The
Norwegian boat Ocean, With two men who
We're trying to cross the Atlantic. They were
30 miles from land, OF the banks Of New
foundIanl.
The Ocean mcaSnr.t! five feet six inches i'll
breadth and II feet in length. one of the
men on the small boat told the following story
The Ocean started on the voyage on May 18th.
and then called at several Norwegian ports. Ii
then proceeded to cross the ocean. and all went
well until the 9th of July, when two heavy
gales struck them and lasted until the llth.
On July 18th another gale swept over them and
carried away their mast On July 10th, in lat
itlldc 50 north and longitude % west their boat
was capsizcd. but they managed to right her
again and sailed on their way. shortly after
this she was spoken by the steamer City of
Chicago from New York for Liverpool.
From August lSt to August Sth was Il very
unfavorabc week. and on the morning of the
9TH they We're again capSized, end over end,
leaving their boat to the mercy of the sea. The
anchor rope was carried away, and She lay
broadSdc to the sea for 80 hours before she
could be bailcd out On the 1lth they We're
sighted by the English barque Mary Graham,
and We're taken on board.
On August 10th, three days after they had
been on board, heavy gale struck the barquc.
The Mary Graham was running before Il hur-
ricane and shipped tremendous sea which
carried away her boats, smashed in the front
of her cabin and cleared out all its contents,
spelling all the provisions but few canned
things. The captain was killed and the first
officer with one man washed overheard. Most
of the crew were severely injured, one man
having his leg and another his arm broken.
The deck load of timber was also washed over
board.

Storms in the European Steamer Routes,

While the eNtra-tropcal Atlantic has not
been excessively stormy this season, the rec
orls of European steamships show that it Will
soon BE rough enough. Captain Mckay, COM
mau,ling the Cunard steamer SerNia, makes IN
interesting report of cncouutcrin@, west of the
Newfoundland Banks, the cyclone which al
vanccd from our coasts in the latter part of
August. The storm was apparently of contl-
mental origin, but it is barely possible that fur
ther reports may show it to have been connect
Il southeastcry gale blowing seventy miles an
hour. This is severe enough for a cyclone
coming from the American continent in Au-
gust. But commanders of steamships may eX
pcct soon to encounter ocean born cyclones,
coming from the tropics, which will fully test
the strength of their machinery. New York

Mr.. Gibbons, Originality.

Among the distinguishing traits of
character of William G.. Gibbons a
blunt manner of speaking at times was
foremost, an some of his remarks on
such occasions are not to be lost. He
was once troubled by servants idea
+ "order" in arranging his chamber.
everything being placed in accordance
with her way of thinking. He remon-
strated in the following original man
ner: snow, if you should find the
Devil on that table, pick him up, dust
him off, and put him just exactly where
you found him." One day he met
young man who had recent entered
business, and inquired: "Harry, have
you a partneri" mo" replied he
other, there is not enough profit yet for
two to share" 1T. is very ice,
though, to have some one to share the
losses," was the ejo nder. Viii in
his counting house once during a rain
storm, this remark was made by some
one preent: My gracious, isn't it
coming down - ibid you eyer see it
go up?" asked Mr.. Gibbons. Although
he arose to so prominent position
among his fellow men, he was not with
out an early history that in the earnest
boy gave promise of tn successful
man. More th II once has he recalled
spot in his life where he knew not
where the next meal was to come from,
Ills perseverance helping him out of his
dilemma.

A Touching Incident.

A touching instance of insect instinct
is recorded by a writer who says 81
found cockroach struggling in Il bowl
OF water. l took half a peanut shell for
boat. put him into it, gave him two
wooden toothpicks for oars, and left
him. The next morning 1 visited him,
and he had put piece of white cotton
thread on one end of the toothpicks,
and set the toothpick on end as a signal
of distress. He had a hair on the other
toothpick, and there that cockroach sat
a fishing. The cockroach, exhausted,
had fallen asleep. The sight melted
me to tears. had never to chew
leather to get a soul; l was born with
one. took that cockroach out, gave
him spoonful of cruel and left. The
animal never forgot my kindness, and
now my house is chuck full of cock
reaches.
