AT MR.. REEDS HOME.
Joy Over His Nomination-CeIebrat-
ing the Result With Fireworks
and Hurrahs,

The Merchants Exchange was pretty well
filled with members Saturday noon waiting
for intelligence from the balloting for speak
er at Washington by the Republican caucus.
When the report from the first ballot was
put on the board there was a long drawn
"ahr' and an expressed conviction that the
next ballot would bring the much hoped for
news. When the second ballot recorded SO
for Thomas b Reed, there was an hurrah and
hand shaking, cries Of good enough" 'he's
the boy" and break for the Western Union
desk, from whence numberless kilograms of
congratulation were forwarded to Mr.. Reed.
In front of the PRESS Office there was
quite crowd gathered. The PRESS put
out a large bulletin board with Mr.. Reeds
name in large letters surrounded by "roos-
ters," and bearing the joyful figures of the
two ballots.
At the Cumberland Club-non-politica,--
of which Mr.. Reed is a member, and which
is composed of leading men of the city In
the professions, mercantile life and wealth,
there was great rejoicing. The club flag was
at once hoisted, and preparations made for
demonstration. From early dusk there was
/ constant display of fireworks, while the
| club house was brilliantly illuminated. and

there 10 days the natives permitted them to
leave Captain Gooding, with three others,
left in the ships boat. and tho remainder of
the crew, with number of natives, embarked

where the sailors were compelled to remain
three months. The other boat went on to
Ruk, a small island Is miles away, where
the captain and his party were cared for by
missionaries. In the latter part of June
they returned to Pozeat for the remainder of
the crew and took them to Ruk. The whole
party remained there two months and then

the mint and every one of the officers hoped
Congress would pass bill fayoring silver
coinage to great extent. Mr.. Reeds nom
ination pleased him extremely.
Hon. A. A. Strout said that 1t was great
victory for Maine, a great victory for Mr..
Reed, but Mr.. Reed deserved it all; 1t was
the result Of his own work. He predicted
that Mr.. Reed would make very brilliant
speaker.

was an immense personal victory for Mr..
Reed.

her satchel, containing two United States
b ,nds of $500 each, two bank books repre-

by girl, who said the day the satchel was
missed she was near the station when a
woman asked her to hold the satchel while
she went into the depot. The woman did
not come back, and the girl carried the
satchel to her home in New Hampshire. Up
on opening it she saw only some spools Of
cotton and few nick-nacks, and, thinking
the bag contained nothing of value, laid it
away. A few days ago she discovered its
valuable contents and Immediately returned
