A Scrap Out of the Past.

In the spring of 1889 several families.
residents of Gloucester, Mass. came by
vessel to North Yarmouth, then by an
Indian trail 10 New Gloucester. They
built log house on the northern side Of
Harris hill Then in succession they
erected seven others in the vicinity,
cleared eight pieces OF land containing
about twenty acres. which was Ill part
planted to corn and potatoes and the re-
mainder sowed to rye, and hewed frame
for a sawmill. Thus began the settle
ment of the present town of New Glouces-
ter. In the fall they built granary, in
which to store their crops. and dug a
potato hole for the safety Of the potatoes
from the frost.
Sept 4, all of the settlers gathered to-
gether and had harvest dinner. The
rye and corn furnished bread. The
brooks and pond provided fish. The
woods supplied the game. Salt was pro-
cured from North Yarmouth They had
become sell supporting. The dinner was
the first wnlth had been produced from
their land. The salt was paid for from
the furs which they had trapped on their
own soil They felt as harpy and as in
dependent as kings-and epjoyed their
coarse meal with a much better relish
than kings can bring to their dainties-

EVENTS IN HAYTI.
0noe-President Legitime Tells the Story in
His Way

NEW YORK, Sept. General Legit:me,
ex-president of Hayti, arrived here today
on the Ward line steamer Manhattan. He
was accompanied by his family aud sew
eral officers of his army.
In an interview Mr.. Legitime gave the
following history Of events in Hayti dur
ing the past year: "On October II, 1888, |
was elected president of the provisionary
government OF Hayti. Everything was
done fairly and squarely in my direction,
but intriguing spirits in the north accused
me of fraud and cheating and
General Telemaque came down with
an army to declare himself the desired
president of the north and south. |, of
course resisted his attempts, and about a
week before the general election my troops
and those OF the north under Telemaque
had an engagement and Telemaque was
killed. | did not conspire for his assassin
alton. He was killed in battle. But my
enemies in the north turned his death into
a deliberate assassination on my part and
kept up the cry against me. We had
heard that four deputies from the north
were on beard the steamer Haytien Re-
pubic with evil designs, and of course it
was prudent for US TO seize them. The
seizure OF this vessel Was entirely mis-
take, a mistake for which we were sorry,
and this is evinced i'll the speedy manner
in which we turned her over to her owners,
together with a large indemnity"

of high descent this is done by messen-
gers, sometimes as many as twenty being
sent to cali on the girls father. They
are sent by the mans parents before the
young man is of age. In many instances
both man and girl are not more than s
or 9 years old. The messengers go in
their boats to the girls house, and carry
on their negotiations without going
ashore. where the relatives Of the girl
are standing.
The messengers Of the young mans
parents praise his excellence and noble
descent; the great exploits Of his father.
grandfather and ancestors; their wars,
victories and hunting expeditions; their
hberaIty at festivals, etc. Then the
girls relatives praise the girl and her
ancestors, and thus the negotiations are
carried on. Finally, a number OF blan-
kets are thrown ashore oy the meSsen-
gers; and the girl relatives protest, and
maintain that the nu7nbsr IL not suffi-
cient to pay FOR the permission to MARI,

coal MINE ON EIDE

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 5.-What threatens
TO be one of the most destructive mine
fires that ever occurred in this region is
now raging in No. . colliery of the Della
ware & Hudson Canal company at Olym-
whant, where several acres of anthracite
coal are ablaze nearly 200 feet below the
surface. Ii Will be necessary to cut
through 125 feet of coal before the streams
of water that are to be carried through
pipes can be directed against the fire. and
forces of workmen are employed night and
day to make the necessary tunnel This Is
dangerous work, owing to the rapidly &C
cumulatlng gas that may come III contact
with the flames at any moment and result
in disastrous explosion.
