FAIRYLAND ON THE MAINE COAST.
A Cay Scene at the Opening of a Sum-
mer House.
The Bay Point Club Company and Its
Successful Work.
A Beautiful Spot Near Rockland Inn
proved and Adorned.



RocKLAND, July 10.-The much discussed
formal opening of Bay Point Club House
occurred this evening with flourish of
trumpets and great eclat and glitter.
North of Rockland is point of land half
in Camden and half in Rockland. This pen
insula is formed by Rockland Bay and beau
tiful South Camden's cove. The Camden
half of this point, for which Nature has done
everything, was bought by Smith Bros, laid
out in parks and shady drives, handsome
buildings erected, and Warrenton, the finest
private estate in Maine, was created. Two
years ago well known capitalists from Port
land, Boston, New York and elsewhere,
headed by Hon. A. P. Crockett of this city,
purchased the other half of the Point, in
Rockland, about 100 acre of land, and formed
syndicate, the Bay Point Club Company,
to improve it and erect an elegant club house
there. This club house occupies lofty pla-
teau at the extreme end of the point, near
where Uncle Sans expensive granite break
water is in process of erection. In front of
the hotel are the ruins of the Notifications
erected during the Rebellion by the United
States government to protect the harbor. The
hotel has two wings, each 115x42 feet. and is
so arranged that each of the 60 guest rooms
commands fine view of the ocean, with
Rockland on one side and the dark Camden
hills on the other. A broad, SO-foot boule-
ward leads to the Rockland main road.
The hotel is elegantly furnished. the paper
and furniture being of the latest and most
expensive designs. The best Of taste seemed
the rule, as there is nothing extrayagant or
loud, the general effect being of rich, home
like nature. The building cost $4,000 and
the furnishings $4,000. The house is sur
surrounded by $50 feet of veranda. 80 feet
wide, where whole city full could dance.
The opening of the Club House tonight
was most brilliant event. Nearly 1000
people were in the house and about the
grounds. The house and outlying cot.
tageS were brilliantly illuminated with
Chinese lanterns. A concert was given by
the Salem Cadet Band, followed by ball in
The dining hall. Among those present were
Gov. Burleigh, Staff and Council, Hon. Thom-
as b. Reed, Hon Nelson Dingley, Jr., ex-
Gov. Robie and Adjt.-Gen. Sprague. Secre- |
tary Blaine was expected, but was unable to
be present. The aft airy finely managed,
md the House opens most auspiciously

REGARDLESS OF DANGER.
How People at Johnstown, N. ",
Lost Their Lives.

JoHNsTowN, N. Y, July 10.-The water
which came up over this village last night
has subsidized greatly today, but has left
scenes of desolation in every direction. The
water rose 10 feet and overfiowed every
thing.
The drowned and missing poople were
among a crowd of thirty to fifty persons who
stood on stone bridge crossing the river at
Perry street, watching the rising waters.
They seemed regardless of the danger until
the bridge gave way and they were precipi-
tated into the flood. The bridge was about
20 feet high and 20 feet wide. Two iron
railroad bridges were wrecked, and seven or
eight other bridges were carried away. Two
tanneries were swept away, and the Scrib-
ner and Anderson dams were broken down.
Of the men, women and children thrown in
to the water, a large number were saved by
means Of ropes thrown to them from the
shore. Ten persons are reported missing.
but only four are known to have been
drowned.
GREENsBURG, Pa, July 10.-A destruc,

at Chegarry Institute, in New York city.

al she accepted an invitation from President

festivities were sadly marred by the explo-
sion of gun on the vessel, causing loss of
life. Among the killed was Miss Gardeners

Miss Gardiner marked attention. which re-
suited in their marriage in New York city,

PORTLAND OPERA HOUSE.
a Circular to the Public from the
Committee.

The opera house committee has issued this
circular:
The undersigned, to whom has been COM
mitted (at no desire of their own the task Of
making arrangements for the erection OF an
opera house iD Portland, have accomplished
so much as to have investigated the several
sites which have been brought to their
notice; to have secured estimates for the
cost Of suitable building; to have organized
under the general laws Of the State, a cor
pOration proper for the purposes. and have
begun subscription to the capital stock OF
the company.
Several sites have been. proposed, but
none have yet been positively decided upon !;
there will be no trouble or delay on that
score. The estimates provide for an opera
house of the first class, with first class stage
arrangements, proper decoration, and as
comfortable and elegant conveniences for
seating, heating and ventilation as can be
found anywhere, and seating accommoda-
tion for fifteen hundred people, within Tin
Guiding lott the amount Of $4,000.
Correspondence has been had with parties
interested In theatres In Bangor and other
places, whose experience warrants the un-
dersigned in believing that upon total cost
of $4,000 it is reasonable to expect net in
come Of at least five per cent, II that amount
can all be raised in subscription to the
capital stock Of the company. 1t is hoped
that in view Of the advantages which would
certainly come to the city and its citizens,
from the erection Of a first-class place of
amusement, the necessary amount can be
raised by stock subscription and this cir
eular is issued to test the feeling Of citizens
upon the question. IL is impossible for the
undersigned to present this matter In per-
son to their fellow citizens, and they send
this circular, in the hope that those who are
sufficiently interested to be willing to sub
scribe to the capital stock Of an Opera House
Company, under the conditions mentioned,
will ill out and sign the inclosed subscrip-
tion blank, and send it to the treasurer Of
the company.
If cash subscription of $4,000 is immedi-
ately received, the directors Of the Opera
House company will feel justified in pur-
chasing lot Of land and making arrange
ments to erect a building in time for the bus
iness Of next year. Failing such a subscrip-
tion, the matter is likely to be indefinitely
postponed, with little hope of its being re-
viyed. under more favorable conditions.
Those who are disposed to assist in the
speedy building of an opera house, are re-
quested to fill out and sign the inclosed
blank, and then to forward 1t to Mr.. Harry
- frerfx.

A horrible tale of woe comes from Ston-

recently laid the corner stone of a new
church. The usual memorial ceremonies
took place. the customary gold piece, copy
of the village paper, the name of the
President OF the United States, the
Governor of Connecticut and the officia-
ting clergyman, and other precious articles
were grayely deposited in the usual spot, the
stone was cemented in its place and other
stones were cemented around and over it.
Then, when 1t was forever too late, did a
conscience-stricken small boy tell how he
had surreptitiously inserted among the 9th

slip Of paper, on which was written the
personal and leading question: "Do you

settled upon the village is said to be painful
in the extreme. At present the chief topic
of conversation is "what shall be done with
