FROM MoosEHEAD TO the SEA.
Over Five Hundred Miles in Canvas
Covered Canoes.

BANGOR, Me-, September ia feat
never before accomplished has been per.
formed by Eugene Underhill and Murray
Boocock of New York. the latter Yale
student. They arrived here Monday, having
travelled in canoe from Moosehead Lake
to the mouth of the st. John river, a dis
with them. They left Mount Keno on the
afternoon OF August 18th, and landed at In
dlantOwn Sunday, having been "a days on
the journey. OF this time, however, only IA
days were actually spent in travelling, the
rest having been passed in camp, fishing and
shooting. This gives an average Of 36 mile s
a day. The gentlemen were accompanied
by three of the best guides In the Moosehead
country The canoes, three In number, were
OF the wooden, canvas-c0vered kind. One
carried the cooking utensils and cook and
the other two the rest of the party and
equipments.
The route was from Moosehead Lake to
PenObsquis, thence tn Lake Chesumpsco0k,
and through the Umbaguksis river and lake I;
across Lake Chamberlain and Lake Eagle,
Churchill Square, Long and Round, into the
Allegash river; down the Alegash river
to the st. John, entering it at point 327
miles from its mouth, and then right down
the St John. Only four portages had to be
made, and these were short, the longest not
over three miles. The journey was without
special incident. On the upper st. John the
river was invariably swift, and there were
numerous rapids to shoot. the safe passage
OF which required the steadiest of hands and
the most unwearyiDg vigilance. The party
went. over the Chase Garry Falls, around
which can0ists nearly always make port
age. Mr. Underhill said: "The grazing Of
a rock or the slightest swerve from the
course would have been disastrous" But
they got through safely, having their hardest
WORK, perhaps, In lndiantown harbor.

cRAsPED LIVE WIRES.
A Moment Later He Was Lying Dead
on the Pavement.

BANGOR. September 15.-Alfred S. Jules,
aged 40, painter at work on the interior of
Hinckley & Edgerly Iron Company's build
ings this morning, attempted to raise himself
by uDthinkingly catching hold of two elec-
trio wires which carry the power for the
street railway In Brewer, and which are at
tached to the corner of the building. He
was instantly killed, the flesh being burned
from his hands. He leaves a widow.
There were two other men ON the staging
with Jules. Suddenly one of them heard a
sizzling sound and got the smell Of burning
flesh. Looking around he saw Jules down
upon his side, his two hands grasping the
two wires. An instant later the grasp re-
laxed and Jules fell off the staging to the
ground, some 40 feet, striking on his fore
head and making break in the skull. An
examination of the hands showed both hands
to be black, the flesh being curled and rolled
and brittle as burnt pork. An examination
of the wires showed the covering to be
burned away wherever the hands had come
In contact with them, showing that covering
is not protection. The theory is that Jules
partly lost his balance and grasped the two
wires. 1t is understood he, as we'll as many
other w0rkmen, have been of the opinion
that there was no current upon these wires
In the day time. This is the second man
killed within 10 days by the electric fluid OF
the Public Works Company. jules was Al
years of sge. His brother was working near
by at the time and took charge of the body.
No inquest will be held.

TWILL BE M'KINLEY.
Even Third Party Men Admit That He
Will Be Elected.

CHICAGO. September 15-Even the Third
Party is conceding McKinley's election.
''William Mckinley will be elected governor
of Ohio this fall unless am very badly mis-
taken," said II. E. Taubeneck, of the execu-
tive committee of the Peoples party. "He
will get the votes of 10000 Democrats and
the Republicans will stand by him to man.
My opinions are based on careful study of
the political situation In Ohio, and upon the
views of prominent citizens of that state
while was there. The situation in Ohio is
different from that Of any other year. The
platform Of the Democratic party contains
two planks that are displeasing to many of
the party voters. The free silver plank will
ALLEVIATE many Democratic votes, aud think
1t safe to say that not single Republican
will leave the Mckinley standard on its ac-
count. The other plank refer to is that fa-
voring an income tax. Should Campbell be
elected no power on earth could keep these
two planks out of the National Democratic
platform, and, Cleveland having put himself
on record as opposed to free silver, he and
his henchmen are bound to oppose the cleo
tion of Campbell. This In itself will take
many votes from the Democratic party and
turn them to Mckinley. 1t is another case
OF history repeating ITSELF"
