Intelligence reached the city yesterday
from Philadelphia that the ship Berlin,
Capt. Whitmore. had had serious trouble
on board during her recent trip from Liv-
erpool TO Philadelphia, where she arrived
the goth inst. The trouble took the seri-
Gus form Of mutiny and but for the
prompt action of the captain and his plucky
wife the entire party would have been muir
dered. The crew and several of the officers
were badly intoxicated and when about 25
miles out Of the Mersey river fight arose
amongst the men. Capt. whitmore rushed
from the cabin and single handed succeeded
in placing many of them in quieter frame
of mind. One Of the sailors made an At
tempt to wrest the wheel from the man who
was steering, but Mrs. Whitmore seeing
the action of the man and realizing tina,
success on his part meant the wrecking of
the chip on the rocks, rushed to the
wheel and Selling the sailor sent
him Keeling across the deck. 1t was
4 brave act. The men were finally locked
up and when Holyhead was reached the
| crew were exchanged for new one and the
ship once more started on her voyage. l,
was hard run, storms of all kinds being
encountered. Mr.. whitmore is Caroline +
man and - soon as possible will send his
wife and family to Msine.

At regular meeting of Russell Post
No. sc G. A. II. held at their hall on Fri
day evening, June 10th, the following
resolutions were adopted:
Whereas-Gen. Isaac Dyer and Mr.. II. +.
Lyon with patriotic liberality have presented to
Russell Post No. 96 G. A. Il. a valuable Mem.
orial Book wherein may be recorded the Milit-
airy or Naval history OF every Comrade, thereof,
ReS0ired-That the thanks Of the Post and
each individual member be rendered General
Dyer and Mr.. Lyon for the munifcent and
timely gitt They are entitled not only to our
thanks but to the thanks Of those who may
come after US, to whom this record will have
historic value.
Res0ired-That we recognize and appreciate
the patriotic motive that inspired this benefi-
cence. aud which SO greatly enhances the value
Of the fraternal act. Without immortal love of
Country the record Of our names in this volume
would be meaningless, or, at best, a record OF
physical courage and endurance; with it the
record takes upon itself an effulgence from the
hottest Of motives and becomes living glorious
chronicle Of services and sacrifices for "Our
Country and the Flag"
Resolrsd That the patriotic services of the
one ~ the brave officer in the field, the otheI
- the loyal citizen At his home, both in theiI
proper sphere and both where true men vert
needed, one to fight the open enemies Of oul
Country with arms In their hands, the other u

The Ellsworth American is very much
exercised because Gov. Burleigh has sent
circulars into the Third district announe-
ing his Candidacy for the Congressional
nomination from that district, aud asking
the support of those to whom his candi-
dacy ''commeuds itself" A congressou-
al nominate N is an honor TO which Gov.
Burl Ugh or any other capable citizen may
lawfully aspire, and we fail to see how it
demeans man to announce this aspra-
ton openly and squarely as Gov. Bnrleieh
has done. For our part We think it is a
far more manly and honorable method
than to send henchmen all over the State
or district to work up Il "boom", and
when 1t Is worked up pretend that you
have become candidate in obedience to
the demand of your fellow citiz MS and
much against your own will-s perform

Att recent meeting of citizens, steps
were taken toward organizing water pow

water power mt the north end of the vii
lage. This is an excellent power capable
of moving large amount of machinery.
1t is just the place for an electric light
plant and pumps for water works. Near
by is hill of sufficient elevation, to afford
good location for stand pipe from
which water could be carried to any part
of the village, or forced through hydrants
with sufficient power to cover our highest
buildings in case of fire Our leading citi
zens are interested in this move and have
secured the necessary legislation for the
of water power and electric

This week the new street laid out from
w X. Hunnewell's Bridge, to the Detroit
road near the h. X. crossing, is being
'turnpiked' ready for use. The grading
at each end of the bridge is so far com.
plete that teams can cross, though the
bridge has not yet been formally opened
to travel This new street will save from
three quarters of mile to n mile of travel,
for people coming from Detroit on the
river road, to the main street of Pittsfeld,
where the trade centres. 1t will also open
up some Of the best building lots In town,
and bring into convenient access several
blocks of land for business purposes, on
the river bank close to the II. X. About
fifty house lots are made available by the
opening OF this new street. At the east
end of this street, where it intersects with
the Detroit road, another new street is be-
ing opened by Mr.. Denlson Walker,
through II tract of his land. and this street
running in = northeast direction is design
ed to go through to the Newport road, en-
tering that road beyond the high hill, just
out of THIS village. The grade of the new
street will have SO little rise that horse
can trot anywhere. The building of dwell
lings on this new street has all eady begun
In the village Mr.. Isaac Lancy has be-
gun to prepare the way for the new street
to come in over his land. His large barn
has been moved from near his house to the
interval south of the railroad, into the
midst of large hay field. The entrance
to the new street crossing the "Hunnewell
Bridge" will be either near Mr.. Isaac Ian.
cey's house, making an angle to point by
the bridge. or the street from the bridge
will come out straight to the main street
directly to the Lancey House.
The grading and curbing for new side
walk is being put in from Union Hall on
Park street around on main street and
south to the Depot.
The excavation Is compete. and the
granite for the foundation of Perkins
brick block is on and about the lot.
