Wrecked in the Kennebec.

1t is not often that wreck occurs on the
Kennebec as far up as Augusta, but the
schooner Katie Mitchell, that went up the
river Thursday loaded with coal, is in dire
distress at wharf in that city. and it is
feared will be total loss. She was towed
to the wharf at high water, so that when the
tide fell each end of the vessel rested on
lodges and boulders, while being otherwise
unsupported. The weight of the coal in the
centre was so great that the planks were in
many places sprung from their fastenings
and the water rushed into the hold. The crew
worked all of Thursday night in an endeavor
to dispose of the water which had accumu-
lated in the vessel, but were unsuccessful.
Yesterday morning she listed towards the
river and lay with one side partially under
water AS the tide rose large portion OF
the hull was covered. 1t is not known what
disposition will be made of the wreck The
vessel is of 166 tons burden, is 10 years old,
and the owners are Alfred Lamont and Reu-
ben S. Hunt of Bath.

BASE BALL.

GAME TOMORROW.

day. o,-s
PoRTLANDs, 9; BRocK1oNs, D.
There were 1900 people present at the game
Saturday afternoon, notwithstanding the
threatening weather of the early afternoon.
The fact that McGunnigle, who has been
such a terror to the Portlands, was to be
pitted against Madden, who has been pitch-
ing such wonderful games of late, served to
make the game one of much anticipation
among base ballists. The visitors could do
nothing with the boy pitcher. For SIX
innings they failed to. get thu. ball out OF the
diamond, and two of the four hlts mage
after that were close and douDt19l ones. 1 O1
McGunnigle numerically, getting 16 with a
total of "a hits. Every man but Shoeneck
cot at least one hit but the big first baseman
was presented with beautiful bouquet tne
first time he stepped mp to the pat, ana ~ II
broke him all up. His sacrifice hit in the
third inning brought in one run. Patton
played splendid game for the Brocktons'
taking everything that came In that dlrec-
ton. Shunz made a splendid stop OF not
grounder. Madden's catch OF a ny for Wnlcn
both he and Hatfield ran, as well as MS gen.
eral fielding, deserves mention.
The sixth inning was a peculiar one, NC
Gunnigle had reached first on balls, and then
he, Burke and Shunz were successlvely
forced ont at second by the succeeding bats
men. Up to the seventh inning the, Brock
tons had not made hit. Then hits by Nc
Carthy, Patton and Cudworth and base ON
balls gave them four runs, and an error by
Shelter, passed ball and hit by Mccarthy
in the eighth gave them another.
In the eighth after two men were out,
Kearns drove the ball over right field fence,
aud the next ball pitched Wheelock, sent
sailing over the left field fence. while the
spectators shouted with delight.
Following is the official score:

FISHING WITHIN THE LIMIT.
Yankee Vessels Taking Mackerei at
Prince Edward Island.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 14.-While the, cap
tain of the cruiser Terror is vigorously en-
forcing trivial custom law on the western
coast of Nova Scotia, and compelling all
American vessels to report the circumstances
under which they put into port, the rest OF
the fishing grounds are wholly unprotected.
A despatch from CanSo states that the
Gloucester schooner Fred l.. Gerrlng mas
baited in Chedabucto Bay for the third time
this season. Two other Americans are now
there seeking bait.
Conflicting reports come to hand about
the Prince Edward Island fisheries. Capt.
Scott SAYS American vessels can get all the
mackerel they want outside the three-mlle
limit On the other hand, reliable advlces
from Miminegash, Prince Edward lsland,
state that 70 United States fishing vessels
were fishing off the Miminegash on Saturday
and Sunday, no attention whatever Delne
paid to the three-mile limit: At the same
time about 40 United States fishing schooners
were fishing off the west point under like
condition. The Canadian government either
have not made sufficient provision for the
protection of the fisheries, Or the cruisers
are not doing their duty. The protectlon
offered the Canadian fisheries at present is,
however expensive, very little better than
misleading imposition.
The Minister of Marine and Fisheries, who
leaves tonight on an official visit to British
Columbia, says that the Dominion govern
ment have not issued circular forbidding
American fishermen from taking fish In the
Bay of Chaleur or entering the bay for any
purpose, as has been stated. He states tnat
in no case has the treaty OF 1878 been
deviated from, and that all departmental
regulations are based on that treaty

The Gospel Temperance Meetings.

1t was a pleasant surprise to the temper
ance people to see the throng that complete
ly filled the big tent last night at the foot of
Pearl street, where Mr.. Thomas N. Doutney
assisted by his wife, is conducting Gospel
temperance meetings. The meetings were
held at and 730. The best meeting of the
two was in the evening" Then it was that
there was crowd present-and it was
great crowd-standing room even was hard
to get at this meeting. Messrs. Hall, Dout-
ney. Drew, White, and others, spoke in the
afternoon and Mrs. DOutney sang in her US
nal easy and natural way. Mr.. Doutney's
speech in the evening was directed mostly to
the Young and was full ofiwholesome advice
There will be change of programme for
every night this week both in song and
speech and also new attractions in other
ways. On Wednesday night Mr.. Doutney
will tell about his past career in rum selling
and drinking, coupled with sketch of his
conversion to religion and temperance.
Many have signed the pledge and prom inent
neople are seen on the platform.

THE MANUFACTURERS LEAGUE.
BIack-Iisted Men Discharged at a
Dexter WooIen Mill.
Eastern State.


One day this week four weavers at the
Stone Mill were discharged by order from
the management at Boston, it becoming
known that they we're of the number VINO
went out on strike at Warren some time
ago. Forthwith some ten more in the same
room, announced their intention OF leaving.
Under the circumstances, at the request OF
Superintendent Dawson, all remained at
their work, until he had time to communicate
with Mr.. Russell, but the latter maintained
his position in regard to the four weayers y,es
from Warren. and the consequence was that
the rest of the weavers referred to went out
of the mill 1t seems that certain manufac-
turers, we don't know how many. have en-
tered into an agreement not to. knowingly
employ any operatives who have left any mill
embraced in their union on strike although
the mill which they left. The weavers who
have gone out here are reported to be good
class Of men, much better than many VINO
have been here, and just now the weavers
are making excellent pay.

THEY LOST THEIR APPETITES.

Rufus Heath, mate of the schooner Fly
ing Scud, which recently came into Bucks
port from fishing trip on Quero banks. says
that it is customary often during the fishing
at night to take lunch before retiring. One
evening while at work one of the crew, who
was splitting the fish and taking out the IN
testines, found mans hand in its stomach.
Mr. Heath says they didn't eat any lunch
that night.

THREE BROTHERS MEET AFTER % YEARS.
Bath Times
A ship carpenter named Dwyer is employ
ed at the New England Shipbuilding Com
pany's ward. He has worked there some
time A day or tive ago lumber laden
schooner from the South arrived at one OF
the wharves of the company While the
schooner was unloading her cargo Mr.
Dwyer was assigned to the duty of marking
the timber as it was landed on the wharf
from the schooner While attending to that
work he heard his name called by one OF the
sailors on board of the schooner He asked
what was wanted and was informed that 1t
was meant for sailor on board. The ship
carpenter short time after turned his
thoughts backwards number of years and
brought to mind the appearance OF brother
whom he had not seen for twenty-five years.
Could the man on the schooner who was
named Dwyer be his brother? He sought
the sailor and in a brief space of time the
men were shaking each others hand in a
vigorous manner. They were the long
separated brothers both having sought diff
ferent parts of the globe when young. For
a few years after they heard from one an,
other but correspondence finally ceased and
each supposed the other dead. The fact OF
the meeting of the two brothers after such
long absence, soon became nolsed ABOUT the
shipyard, and it was talked about great
deal by the workmen. 1t seems there is an
other man in the yard named Dwyer. He
heard of the meeting. The two men were
sought by him and resulted in finding two
brothers he had not seen for lapse OF near
lv TWENTY-FIVE wears, all three of the brothers
having become separated about the same
time. What seems almost incredible is the
fact that two of the brothers have been en-
pioyed in the same shipyard here for some
time and yet did not know each other as
brothers till after the sailor-the third
brother made his appearance here.

Hon. c. G. Cole, late Chief Justice of Iowa,
adds the weight of his distinguished author

expressed concurrence with Mr.. Hamilton
Wilcox's opinion that the New York constl-

In letter to Mr.. Wilcox Mr.. Cole says; am
now, and for years have been, satisfied OF the
principle for which you contend, to wit, that
right of suffrage is not to be denied by mere
inference, implication, or assumption, ana
that the constitution, by comforting the right

persons does not by implication deprive the
Legislature of the power of extending th&t
