regarding FORMER esteemed resident of
these islands: "Mr. q. d. Gilman has
been suffering for some time with a dis
ease of the arm, aud the physicians de-
cIded that amputation would have to be
resorted to. On Tuesday the operation
was performed by DIR. Gay OF Boston,
and the patient IS under the care of his
family physician, Dr. Field, and is re-
ported to be doing as we'll as could be
expected. As an Illustration of Mr.. Gil
mans conscientious idea of the duty of a
citizen, it might be mentioned that he
went 10 the polls and voted before the
operation was performed. All will be

cry TO health. Fortunately it was the
left arm that was affected, SO that MIR.
Gilman will suffer as little Inconvenience
as possible in such case" hIr Parke

YESTERDAYS FISH ARRIVALS.
The Mackerel Fisheries Failure
this Year.

Thus far this year the mackerel fisheries
have been a disastrous failure. but yesterday
the arrivals were little larger and fishermen
were somewhat encouraged by prospect of
good fishing from now until the middle of
October Since the first day Of June the
mackerel fishermen, in crews of from twelve
to twenty men, have been cruising the fishing
grounds and up to date, as one man said,
''many of them have not taken enough fish
to make a chowder." During all this time
the vessel owners have had to furnish sup
plies to the crews at very great expense,
and unless better luck follows their loss will
be very great. Some say that it is owing to
the remarkably cold season that fish have
been so scarce, and that when the water is
cold the fish do not go in large schools Or
swim near the surface of the water. But the
outlook at present is rather brighter. Last
year all the large stocks of mackerel were
got between the first of September and the
middle of October and it now appears as
though this will be true this year, yesterdays
arrivals seeming so TO indicate. The arrivals
at this port yesterday were as follows
Schooner Melissa ID. Robins. 80 barrels; the
Elsie M. Smith, 80 barrels; the Robert Pet
tbs, 40 barrels; the G. w. Brown. so barrels,
and the Henrietta Francis rs barrels. The
mackerel landed here were remarkably fine.
One old fisherman said that those which his
vessel took were the largest he ever saw,
many of them weighing two pounds. The
average weight of all the fish were between
one and one and half pounds.
The other fish arrivals yesterday were
not large but the Fannie e. Thrasher
had good luck She brought in forty-eight
sword fish, for which she stocked $675, each
member of the crew receiving $50 for his
share. The vessel was out two weeks. Be-
sides this the Helen f. Treddick landed
10000 cod and haddock.

AS Young AS He Used to Be.

A very bloody and cruel fight occurred on
Custom House wharf yesterday afternoon
between a drunken fisherman and some 9TH
ers, who arrived in port yesterday morning
with lot of mackerel which melted each
member of the crew some $50. A short.
stout man named Matthews, while under the
influence of liquor. struck another man in
the face, knocking him backwards at full
length upon the wharf. He then ran and
jumped upon his stomach and kicked him in
the face and side most numerically. Then
he threw the helpless man against a fish
house and left him. The bully next started
for an old man. who is fisherman of the
same vessel with him, and prepared to whip
him. The old man begged him not to strike
him, but said if he were twenty years young
or he would give him such trouncing as he
never had before. The bully was determined
to fight and the row began in earnest The
old fisherman. who is short, strong man
named Patterson, recalled his younger days
when he didn't object to little squabble,
and began to show signs of tolerable activity.
In less time than it takes to tell it the ruffian
was the under man in the fight. Moreover
he was worsted in every effort, and the
strong well aimed blows of the old man soon
brought the blood from the veins of his OPP
ponents face which he hit, apparently, as he
would have done if he were "twenty years
younger" 81 am not so old that 1 cannot
whip you," he cried as he threw the bully
upon his back. There, take that, and that,
and that" said he as he struck the fellow
blow after blow on the face, which was now
besmeared with blood, being badly cut and
bruised "Give IL to him." shouted the
crowd that had assembled, "he deserves it,"
lie did ''give it to him" until he was glad to
say that he didn't want to fight any more.
Matthew's, as soon as released, returned to
packed his buds and left" thinking, no
doubt. that the old man was young as he
used to be.

Serious Accident.

Yesterday noon, Mr.. Charles ID. Bartlett,
driver Of Machigonne steamer No. i, took
the steamer horses and started with them
for the Portland Company. to get Casco 5,
which had received anew boiler, and take it
to the paint shop. Just as he reached Casco
street the alarm Of fire struck. He turned
the horses, to take them back to the engine
house, when one of the pair gave leap for
ward, throwing Mr.. Bartlett down. Bart
lett struck on his head with such force that
he was stunned for half minute or so. The
horses ran up the street at full speed, and az
they passed the engine house Engineer Por-
ter seized one, and another man the other,
and took them into the stable. Bartlett came
running up. and insisted on driving to the
fire. At the fire, and on the way back, he
showed such strong signs of alteration of
mind, that it was evident he had received Sc
rious injuries. DR.. Getchell ordered him to
be taken home. Bartlett couldn't remember
that he had been to fire, and couldn't re-
member any circumstances about the fire. 1t
is possible that he may have received frac-
ture Of the skull, but it will take some time
to tell.

A WARNING

The modes of deaths approach are various, and
statistics show conclusWely 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 at
first slowly, and is shown by slight tickling SEN
sation in the throat, and If allowed to continue
their ravages 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 a cold to go
without attention is dangerous. and may lose you
your life. As soon as you feel that something is
wrong with your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, OBJ
tain bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. 1t will
give you immediate relief. noy8-d1y-cT
