A prominent temperance, but not third
party man, residing not many miles from
Lewiston, tells q good joke on himself. After
the resul; Of the election had been announced,
the said temperance man hastened to con-
gratulate Mr.. Bodwell on his election. At
the same time he penned letter Of inquiry
to q western divine. By some mistake the
letters were trsnsposed, the political going to
the divine, and the religious to the politician.
few days afterwards the absent-minded
correspondent received q letter from the
western divine, reading A. follows:
My dear sir: bad always supposed that
prohibition was a success in the State of
Maine. But your letter Of congratulation,
coming from such q source, and directed TO
another individual hundreds Of miles from
here, convincss me that there 10 some doubt
of 1t. II seems to me that such mixture
could never exist in q temperance State.
Yours truly.

GLASGOW, Sept. %.
Six persons, including three GLASGOW mag
istrates, were suffocsted today while viewing
monster blast at the Lockfyne side quar-
ries. Seven tons of gunpowder we're used in
the blast.
GLASGOW, Sept. 26.
The latest accounts place the number of
victims of the quarry catastrophe at seven.
The crowd paid no attention to the warning
to keep at a distance but rushed past the per-
son giving the advice.
An indescribable scene followed the explo-
sion. The people who were almost suffocat-
ed looked as if under the influence of intox-
cants undergoing commissions. The contor-
tions we're accompanid by laughing, crying
and screaming as they returned to conscious
ness. Medical men say that after the explo-
sion, which loosened about 80 900 tons of
granite, cloud of nitrous oxide gas ascend
ed and in the absence of wind fell to the
earth and enveloped the spectators.
A number of persons escaped unaffected
while others. probably 100 in all, detected q
pungent taste and odor accompanied by diff
feult breathing. This was followed by con-
vulsions and vomiting, those in delicate
health suffering most.

No RACE.
Yachtsmen Again Doomed to Disap.
pOintment.
MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept. %.

MARBLEHEAD, Mass, Sept. %.
When the people awoke this morning a
strong northwest wind was blowing, which
gave evidence of increasing strength and also
brought fresh hopes to the yachtsmen. Old
weatherwise sages, however, forsaw a grad
usl decline in the wind and before 8 o'clock
the ardor OF the people began to droop as the
white caps ceased and occasional lulls in the
wind occurred.
Shortly after 8 o'clock q steady but sure
abatement of the wind was noticeable and the
hopes of the yachtsmen dropped. At 9.204 1T
was decided that no race would be sailed ao-
day. Lieut.. Hem wants a Northwestern, and
In fact so does everybody else. Hundreds
of strangers have arrived and each train
brings hundreds more. The wind is fast
dying out.
MARBLEHEAD. Sept. 26.
Thousands of people have today visited the
headlands, great neck and harbor. all the
trains bring heavy freights. During the day the
wind reached velocity of 2S miles an hour
and IT would have been q great day for Q
race. The yachts that left the hsrbor sailed
with lower sail only and then reefed.
At ll.25 the Mayflower got under way and
sailed out of the harbor under jib and fore.
stayssil, When outside she stood for Nahant.
She returned two hours later under mainsail,
jib and forestaysail. The Galatea lay at
anchor all day, Lieut. Hem not allowing
work or sailing on Sunday. Schooner Una
of New York arrived early this morning and
during the afternoon the cutter Stranger an
chored in the lower part of the harbor. To-
night the wind has veered to the south and 9
light rain is falling. Should the wind hole
this position the prospect of a race tomor
row will be slim.
