The steamer Camerata arrived at New
York last Saturday from st. John, P. R.,
with Capt. Ross and the crew of the brig
Elizabeth Winslow of this port which was
wrecked in the Gulf stream. Capt Ross
tells thrilling story Of the loss of his vessel.
He left Orchieliba for Richmond, Va, with
cargo Of fruit and general merchandise on
the 9Th OF August. Everything went we'll
until the afternoon Of the 9th. when the
vessel was In the Gulf stream. A terrific
storm arose, the wind blowing a cyclone.
ALI canvas was hauled down and the craft
lay to. Suddenly the brig was lifted from
the water before any one on board knew it,
was coming, and when she righted all the
canvas. spars and everything on deck was
gone.
The cyclone lasted for few minutes only.
As soon as it was over the captain and crew
OF ten men got into the life boat, and for
three days they rowed and drifted until they
reached st. John, Porto Rico. By the time
they arrived there their supplies of water
and food were exhausted, and the men were
In bad condition.
The shipwrecked sailors were fed by the
people at st. John, and cared for by Capt.
Cook of the Camerata, which was in port
when they arrived. All that was saved from
the wreck was the captains chronometer
and the briggs compass.

WatervIIIe Notes.

The fall term at Colby has opened under
very auspicous circumstances. A freshman
class Of As is expected AS II are already in
attendance, this estimate will doubtless be
realized and expelled. Several of the new
men are showing decided base ball talent. A
negro from the South is expected this week,
who is said to be an excellent catcher.
The Congregational Society In this city is
apparently in most prosperous circum-
stances. Not only have they called new
pastor at a liberal salary, but they have Just
completed extensive repairs and innovation
on their church, so that it now has almost
lost its semblance to the old structure, at
least in the interior. Sunday the church
was dedicated with appropriate services. AT
the forenoon meeting five members were re-
ceived by letter and one child christened.
The Unitarian church has also been doing
some thorough repairing. Surely this Is an
era OF progress among the churches.

THE TWO SISTERS.


Denman Thompson's and George Ryer's
play of "The Two Sisters" which gave SC
much pleasure when seen here last season,
was given last night at Portland Theatre to
an audience that thoroughly enjoyed every
moment. "The Two Sisters" is play
which conveys a moral, and is success, for
1t is one Of the kind that appeals strongly to
the noble nature Of man, and teaches him a
lesson Of good. 1t Is novel play, reversing
the order Of things. There has been moth
ing pirated into the four acts from sensa-
tionalism. 1t is story of home, is interest
ing, Instructive and satisfactory. "The Two
Sisters" play and company, may be classed
as the acme OF naturalism. The entertain.

Last night Mr.. Frazer Coulter, as Pepper,
from Montana, gave a strong representation
of the big-hearted Westerner; Mr.. De Getz

Misses Merrick and White were pretty and
forcible as the ''Two Sisters" Mrs. Stowe,
as Johanna, was good; while Mr.. j. A. Web.

the "Canuck," were all gratifying in their

through the efforts OF a scout, "Jack Os-
borne" Plays Of this sort are generally full
of action, and ION the Frontier" is far in
advance Of the average drama of its class. 1t
rs brimful OF good comedy. catchy songs and
dances, while both Mr.. Hardy and Miss Won

RAILWAY MATTERS.
THE CONCORD RAILROAD.

H1A1@ NV3NNVHs1 1sz<1111sS1,~'
From reliable Information 1t appears that
there is to be strong opposition on The part
of many Concord railroad stockholders, who
are not owners in the Montreal road, to the
proposed union of the two roads. 1t Is said
that the advance in the Concord stock at the
recent sale was for the purpose of getting
control of it and using 1t against the con-
solidation scheme. 1t Is impossible to now
get at all the facts, but that there is an i'm
portant movement on the part of some Of
the Concord stockholders In opposition to
the so-called syndicate Is now evident.
