BERLIN FALLS.
LumberIng and Other News on the
Border.


BERLIN FALLS, N. H., May 81.
Previous to the rain the lumbermen In this
place were anxious about the prospect of
getting their logs down the river, as there
had been little rain this spring, and the river
is low. The Berlin Mills Company have
about six million out Of abont fifty
down as far as Errol. They use about 80, ,Ooo,-
600 during the summer. and the prospect was
before the rain began that they must shut
down for want Of material. There was also
a possibility OF the Glen Company shutting
down one-half. as they had not enough ma
terial to carry them through. The heavy
rain. however. will probably make a differ
ence.

Captain wInsIow Andraws

ms home on Ocean street Monday night
about IL o'clock, was one Of the most promi-
nent and successful sea captains that sailed
out of Portland. He was born in Camden
but came to Portland when boy. At the
age Of IA years he went to sea and has been
a sailor ever since. Working up in his pro-
fession he came into command Of a vessel
while young man. Among the vessels he
has commanded were the Eva May, the Fred
Jackson and the Au Sable. For number
of years he has sailed for j. s. WinslOw &
Co. When the first Au Sable was built five
or six years ago he was put in command of
her. On her first voyage she was run into
and cut down by steamer and became a to-
tai loss. Captain Andrews felt the loss of
the Au Sable very keenly, but the owners
showed their confidence in him by building a
new Au Sable and putting him in command
of her, position which he held at the time
of his death. About two years ago Captain
Andrews was taken with consumption but
he did not on that account cease to go to sea
until the disease had made such inroads as
to compel him to remain at home. He would
have been exactly 40 years old had he lived
until yesterday.
Captain Andrews was twice married, to
Miss Georgia Dacey of Portland, who left
four children, two boys and two girls and to
Miss Tina HOdgdon, daughter of Mr.. G. w.
H0dgdon of Woodfords. BY the second
wife, who survives him, he had one daugh-
ter. All the children are living.
The funeral will be from his home on
Ocean street at O'Clock Thursday afternoon,

IN THE PENSION OFFICE.
The Kindly Deeds of Mrs. Sampson,
the LADY Notary:

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The displacement
of able-bodied Democratic employees by Grip
Piled and limbless veterans the last month or

pension office remarkably. Mrs. Sampson.

but often RENTS the quarter when she sees

except perhaps the commissioner.

Sampson noticed an elderly gentleman seat
ed at table in distant part of the room,
trying to do some writing, but apparently
somewhat bothered by some cause. She
went over to the veteran and inquired if he
needed any assistance, and being answered
in the affirmative invited him to come oyer
to her desk and be seated and she would ad-
just his papers, as that was right in her line
Of duty. She immediately discovered that
he was an old member Of the 18th Maine In
fantry, and as he looked at her a CLEAN of
pleasure and recognition irradiated his coun-
tenance. He thought he saw her resem-
blance to one of the ''angels" of the battle
field and army hospital of the war days, and
said she looked very much like Mrs. Samp-
son who used to comfort and assist the Maine
boys in times of distress, and procure fur
loughs and discharge papers and many other
fayors from the war department. She at once
acknowledged her identity.
the veteran was delighted and remarked
that he was very happy to see that little w0-
man, who used to fly around like being
with wings among the soldiers in the fields
and sick wards of the hospitals. Our heroine
OF the war period is yet able to assist many
old veterans in their endeavors to obtain
their just claims on the government, and is
just as happy as ever to help the needy vet
eran. She is pleasantly located In one of the
best sections of the city, and surrounded by
ed prosperity and the loving regards of in
Vulnerable friends. Just now she is receiy-
ing prolonged visit from her brother, Hon.
Lewis b. Smith of Portland, and daughter.

GERMANY GIVES IN.
MaI'etoa May Once More Sit on the
Samoan Throne.

BERLIN, May 2i.-A special correspondent
of the Associated Press was informed this
evening that Germany had finally consented
to restore King Malietoa. The action was
taken after prolonged and persistent efforts
on the part of the. American commissioners.
Another hitch in the negotiations grows out
of the claim for indemnity made by Germa-
ny. The American section of the confer
ence holds that II any indemnity be paid it
must be merely a nominal sum. Germany
maintains that in the conflicts between the
German forces and the Samoans, the latter
were invariably the aggressors. Native par
tisans OF King Malietoa were guilty of be-
heading German sailors, as well as infiicting
upon the wounded particular cruelties.
These acts Germany insists should entail
upon Samoa the payment of a special indem-
nifty. Earnest efforts are making in COM
