COLLISION OFF THE CAPE.
The Schooner c. w. Dexter, OF
Calais, Badly Damaged.

Early yesterday morning. it was little
past midnight, the schooner G. W. Dexter,
Capt. Hamilton, of Calais, for Boston, with
lumber, discovered when about 10 miles off
the Cape that q big three-masted schooner
was bearing down upon her. 1t was a clear
moonlight night and the captain of the Dex-
ter thought that the big stranger would GER
tainly turn out for him. But she did not do
this and as she came rushing on Capt. Ham
llton call out at the top of his voice for them
to steer off, but no one heard him.
The next moment there was terrible
crash as the sharp cutwater of the stranger
struck the little lumberman midway between
the two shoes on the port side. The Dexter
keeled over, but as it was swift slanting
blow soon righted. A hole six feet wide and
five feet deep was stove in her side and the
rail was broken for the distance of twenty
five feet. Her formast, main-topmast and
everything attached was carried away. The
stranger which proved to be the j. B. At
kinson, of Philadelphia. with coal for Bath,
lost her jibboom, and was otherwise dam
aged, but not disabled. She hove to and
took the Dexter in tow for this port. The
tug c. A. Warren, Capt. Began, met the
vessels on their way in yesterday morning
and took the Dexter in tow. The Atkinson
proceeded to Bath The captain of the j. b.
Atkinson was below at the time of the col
lision and the forward watch had left his
post of duty to attend to the pumps.

He Saved the saeh

Sunday evening one of the cottagers at
Little Diamond Island proceeded to put out
all the lights athis cottage and 60 to neigh
boris to make call. Later he left for home
and, to his horror, as he came in sight of his
house, saw the glare of light streaming
through the chamber window and the win
dow curtains tapping in the breeze. He
only stopped moment on the way to notify
some of the cottagers that his house was
afre, and then ran to the front door, kicking
in the double sash, seized pail of water
and rushing up stairs threw the water into
the room, followed by his friends with other
pals of water. His promptness was COM
mendable but it happened that the light he
saw came from lamp he had forgotten to
extinguish. He brought the double sashed
front door to the city yesterday to be re-
paired, and his friends ON the boat congratu-
lated him on saving the sash.

AN EXPLANATION.

What is this "nerveus trouble" with which so
many seem now 10 be afflicted? Ii you will re-
member few years ago the word Malaria was
comparatively unknown Ito day it is as common
as any~ord in the English language, yet this word
covers only the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in time past. SO 1t is with nervous
diseases, as they ana Malaria are intended TO COW
er what our grandfathers called Biliousness, and
all are caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the Liver which in performing
its functions finding it cannot dispose of the bile
through the ordinary channel is compelled to pass
1t of through the system, causing nervous troub
les, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You who are suf
fering can well appreciate a cure. We recommend

NEW ADVERTISEMENT.

If 1t Is bright, pleasant and sunshiny today
you won't be interested in reading an adver-
tisement about Rubber Goods. IL IL should
happen to rain, however, you're likely to
give the subject more attention and maybe
come down on purpose to buy Gossamer.
We suggest that you come and have a look
at the new things in this line we are show
ing, whatever the weather is. If you don't
need a rainy-day garment now, you will later
and it's well enough to know what there is
new to be had and where the best ass ortment
is.
One day last week we received direct from
the makers a line Of silk and worsted
Raglans, beautifully made and stylishly cut,
the material finer and softer than any we
have ever had before, and so delicately coat
ed with rubber that you wouldn't know it
had rubber about it If you didn't look inside,
and yet they are absolutely lcdterprOof.
These garments are not only a perfect pro-
lection against rain. but are so light that
they can be used as busters for travelling.
With the hood removed they have the APP
pearance Of elegant travelling wraps. They
are quite as good as the imported Mackin-
tosh's and cost about half as much.
