CUT TO the WATERS EDGE.
The Schooner Portland Run into by
Steamer Eleanora.
The Vessel and Crew Brought to
Portland.

The steamer Eleanora of the New York line
left this port for New York at her usual hour
Wednesday, six o'clock. When off Boone
Island, at 1890 O'Clock, she ran into the Brit
ish schooner Portland. Capt. Morris, cutting
her to the waters edge. The stories told by
the officers of the vessels are as fellows:
Capt. Morris says the Portland left Boston
Tuesday night for Parrsboro, N. S. She had
on board $50 barrels of meal and -four. CON-
signed to Nova Scotia parties by j. G. Hall g.
Co. of Boston. When the collision took place
the schooner was running east by north, and
the captain. with man forward, were on
deck. The dense fog had lifted but there
was heavy mist, rendering 1t difficult to dis
tinguish objects at a distance. Helsighted the
Eleanora and thought she would pass inside
OF the schooner. Instead of that the steamer
struck ON the port quarter, absft the main rig
ging, cutting hole eight by four feet in size,
through which the water rushed in torrents.
The topmaasts and main boom fell, and the
mainmast was unstepped by the shock. The
crew took to the rigging. The Eleanora re-
versed her engines, threw out ropes, and the
men were saved with what they had on. All
tuc dIEU u tuc VESSEL anu tu6 CIcW ClOLU6S
were submerged. A hawser was attached to
the schooner and the steamer turned and
towed her back to the city, reaching here at
730 a. m. yesterday. The crew Of the Port
land were the mate, Mr.. Parker, Noble Blink
horn and William Sanford. Osborn McClel-
Ian. Of Parrsboro, was passenger, and his
trunks were badly soaked. Capt. Morris
was injured by being thrown violently to the
deck by the collision. Capt Morris consid-
ers the accident one that could not have been
ayerted. He owns the vessel which was I'M
insured. She win be repaired. The cargo is
insured
Capt. Bennett of the Eleanora said "The
mist was SO heavy that we could not see the
little lights Of the schooner until we were
right on to her, and then we could not have
warned her in time by blowing our whistle.
We struck her a slanting blow which no
doubt saved the schooner and the crew from
sinking beneath the waves. No one was to
blame. 1t was an accident occasioned by the
weather, which is liable to happen to any
one. After the accident did what could
to help them" The iron cutwater of the Ele-
anora was wrenched a little but the damage
was trifiing and the steamer proceeded at 1
D. m. yesterday to New York The Portland
was towed to Central Wharf, where she lies
and was inspected by a number of the curious

A WARNING.

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusvely that more persons die
from diseases of the Throat and Lungs than any
other. 1t is probable that everyone, without ex.
ception, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs
into the system, and where these germs fall upon
suitable soil they start into life and develop al
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their rayages they extend to the lungs, producing
Consumption, and to the head causing Catarrh.
Now all this is dangerous, and if allowed to pro-
coed win, in time, cause death. At the onset you
must act with promptness; allowing cold to go
without attention is dangerous, and may lose you
your life. AS soon as you feel that something's
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or NostriIs, OBJ
tain bottle Of Boschee's German Syrup. It will
give you Immediate relief. novS-dIy-cT

ers of the building in which the saloon
is located. Elkins died in Colorado four
years ago, physical and mental wreck.
Mrs. Elkins stated that in 1876
she warned Cudney not to sell her
husband liquor, but he did not heed her
admonition. Furthermore she alleges
that Cudley induced Elkins, while the
latter was intoxicated, to sell or pawn
valuable pictures for almost nothing.

The Expedition Gives UP the Search for
the Galleon Ship Braak.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 22.-The
search for the sunken treasure ship
Braak, which is said to be at the bottom
of the ocean just outside the Delaware
breakwaterr has been abandoned. The
exploring party returned to this city on
the steamer Long Branch Yesterday.
The crew Of the steamer was paid offand
last night the steamer was anchored In
the Delaware off Vine Street wharf in
charge of & solitary Waterman. The
search for the treasure was abandoned
Thursday morning when Capt. Adams,
Of the United States navy, who has been
directing the work of the divers for the
past two months asked DR.. Pancoast, the
protector OF the expedition, for money 10
buy coal for the steamer. DR.. Pan
coast replied that he had no money to
give him; that he had expended ali
the money the syndicate had furnished
and had paid money out of his own
pocket and was not going to pay out any
more; that he was going to Philadel-
phia at once and was going to aban-
don the search because he had
made a demand on the syndicate
for s., 800 mc.r to prosecute the search,
but did not believe they would give him
the money. Capt. Adams refused then
t, stay at the breakwater any longer
and the anchor was weighed and the
steamer started for Philadelphia.

FAVORS LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Joseph Chamberlain's Liberal Views
Reactionary Policy.

LONDON, Sept. 20.-A breakfast was
given in honor Of Joseph Chamberlain
by the Radical Unionists at Bradford,
this morning. In a speech Mr.. Cham
berlain said he did not see why Irish
men should not have local government,
though experience showed that,
whether in Dublin, New York or Bos-
ton, Irish government was always in
efficient and corrupt. Once he
had thought that the Liberals
would reunite upon feasible
policy, but now the schism in
the party was widening daily. The al
lance between the Liberal Unionists
and Tories, depended upon placing
principles above party interests. The
government consulted the wishes of
the Unionists instead of differing with
them. Mr.. Balfour, Mr.. Chamberlain
said, unqualifedly approved this policy.
The only policy to which the word re
dictionary" could be applied was the
one which distrusted the present alli-
anc0.

Shared the Profit.

At Minneapolis on the 18th. $4,000
was distributed nong the employees of
the Pillsbury Touring mills through the
generosity of the proprietors. Four
years ago the Pillsbury company adopt
ed the proft-sharing system. For two
years there have been no profits to di-
vide, but the last year has been profit
able and the firm keeps its promise.
This is believed to be the largest amount
ever divided under the profit-sharing
system. The distribution has been on
a more liberal scale this year than be-
fore. Every man who has been in the
employ of the firm for two years has re-
ceived share. The amount individu-
ais received varies from $25 to So, 500. In
no case was the amount less than a
months salary.

His Cabinet Did Not Acquit Parnen
of Crime.

LONDON, Sept. 2l.-Lord Selborne.
who was lord high chancellor in Mr.
Gladstone's last cabinet, sent COM
munication to the Times to- day in
which he says that he recently adj
dressed an inquiry to John Bright,
Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Harrington,
Lord NorthbTook and Lord Carlingford,
who were also members of the same
cabinet, in reference to Mr.. Gladstone's
assertion in his review of the life of
William F. Forster that the cabinet in
1882, unanimously decided that Mr..
Parnell and other suspected members
OF the House of Commons were not
implicated in the crime that prevailed
in Ireland. Lord Selborne states that
each of the gentlemen addressed has re-
piled to his inquiry, and that each de-
MES that such a question was raised in
the cabinet. Lord Selborne says that
therefore there could have been no
unanimity on the subject.
