A Committee Appointed to Examine
Accounts.

The News Bureau says: The gross earn
ings of the entire Boston & Maine system for
the year ending Sept. 80, 1888, increased
about $S25,0C0 over last year, which would
make gross this year not far from $12, $780,
0o0 The operating expenses for the year
have increased about $s5O,000 Even If the
the Bradford accident was all charged up,
there would appear a large sum of increased
expenses to be accounted for. A committee
has been appointed, consisting of Messrs.
George G. Lord. Amos Paul, Samuel c. Law
renee and Frank Jones, to examine the ac-
counts of the leased lines. The earnings
from the Boston. Concord & Montreal, the
st. Johnsbury & Lake Champlain and the
Manchester & Keene railroads were not in
cluded in the Boston g. Maine system for the
last fiscal year. The assets of the Eastern
Railroad Company are $6.744,295; excess of
assets over selling price of property, So, 744,-
2s5. General Manager Furber says that
Eastern will get its full maximum rental
next year. This is S336,OOO or per cent.
upon Eastern and Conway stocks. The saw
ing of Interest amounts to more than another
1per cent.

SUNK BY a souALl.
The Schooner MiIIie Florence Cap
sized Off the Cape.
The Captain and Crew Narrowly Es-
cape Drowning.

Last evening the schooner Mile Florence,
Capt. Frazier, was on her way to this port
after trip off the Cape to set her lobster
pots. The wind was strong but quite steady
and no danger was apprehended. The crew
were all on deck attending to the various du-
ties. There were five hands all told, viz: VIM.
Frazier, George Pierce. John Frolic, Andrew
England, and the fifth mans names we
failed to get.
The wind, just before reaching Broad
Cove rock, had begun to come in great pow.
erful gusts, in place of the steady wind that
had been prevailing, All attention was paid
however to these changes and no one
dreamed of any trouble. Suddenly and
without a seconds warning, the schooner
seemed to be struck by young cyclone-for
that term expresses it better than the word
squall-and the schooner was capsized,
throwing all hands into the water. The
schooner sank Immediately.
Fortunately the schooner's dory was tow
ing astern, and as one of the crew went over
he grasped at the painter and, drawing his
knife, severed the rope, thus preventing the
craft from meeting the fate of the schooner.
IL was then difficult piece OF Work to get
all hands into the dory. The water, as can
be imagined, was bitterly cold, and the men
were quickly chilled by contact with it.
They, however, did succeed in getting in,
and with the oars that were in place under
the thwarts they managed to row over to the
life-saving station, each man taking his turn
in pulling, and thus keeping his blood in cir
culation.
When the crew arrived at the station they
were made welcome by the life-saving men,
thoroughly warmed and dried. and furnished
with good supper. A horse and wagon
were then provided, and they were brought
to the city, reaching here just before 6
O'Clock.
The Millie Florence was schooner of
about % tons burden, owned by w. I. Stud
ley, j. A. Fowler and others of Portland,
and valued at $1,000. She was not insured

Hon. Josiah Crosby of Dexter, is decided
thorn in the pathway of the Dexter and Pts
cataquis railway. 1t seems that the en-
gineers of the railroad have located their
line in Dexter village altogether too near
Squire Crosby's residence and the squire
very forcibly object to the location. So a
nearing is to be held in Dexter and the mat
ter settled. Other people object to the pro-
posed grade crossing of the street upon Dus-
tins Hill. The people of Dexter are united
in desiring that the railroad shall cross I'M
der the street level. 1t is suggested that this
VIII make much deeper cut necessary; but
this objection is met by the fact that some
OF the parties who have examined the route
with view to bidding for the contract, Of
building the road, have proposed to cross the
street higher up the hill, so that the deeper
excavation will furnish material to make the
fills on each side of the hill.
