Sic, 900 DAMAGES ASKED.
owners OF the Schooner Andrew J.
FORK Enter Suit Against the Steam
er Indian


AS already briefly reported a suit
mas been begun in the United
states District Court by Horace M. Sargent
ana others, owners of the schooner Andrew
.. 1 ork, against the steamer Indian, to re-
cover $4,000 damages for the sinking of the
orK. which was run down by the Indian on
tue night OF September near Handkerchief
Lightship, off Nantucket Shoals. The libel
alleges that on the night Of the accident the
log was thick, and the schooner was about
to anchor. when the whistle of a steamer
was heard Off the starboard bow; that the
schooner blew her fog horn and kept on her
course; that about one minute later another
blast of the whistle was heard that seemed
to be long distance ahead, and as the whis-
tie did not blow again the. crew of the
schooner concluded that the steamer had
either passed or was a steamer passing to
the westward, and accordingly the master Of
the schooner gave orders with the intention
OF anchoring, when the masthead light of
the steamer was seen just forward and off
the schooner's starboard beam. The libel
alleges that the schooner had all her lights
out, and the steamer might have avoided the
collision which followed had she not been
going at such high rate of speed. but, as it
was, the steamer kept on her way. cutting
the schooner in two. The collision is al
legged to have resulted from the neglect and
inattention of the officers of the Indian and
from the high and unlawful speed at which
she was running.
Suits have also been brought against the
Indian by members of the crew of the York
for loss of personal property which went
down with the schooner.

Good Tempiars.

Geo. e. Bracket of Belfast, secretary Of
the Maine Good Templars, was in the CITY

where he had been to arrange for the au.

will be held at South Paris, Thursday, Oc-

ming in Odd Fellows and Good Templars,
Halls.
There are large number of lodges of the
order In Oxford and adjoining towns which
makes the session promise to be largely at
tended. Another reason In favor of a large
attendance is that the Grand Lcdge has not

w. p. Rice and Foreign Investments

[Rockland Courier G azette.J
W. P. Rice, at one time interested in the
affairs of the Cardiff Coal s. Iron Company
and Fort Payne, is in Boston for several
days, with headquarters at the Quincy
House. He has lately come from Fort
Payne, but severed his official connection
with the coal and iron company bearing that
name. last February, Withdrawing, he says,
from the directory, because he considered it
for the interest of the company to do so. This
step was due to the attacks made upon Mr..
Rice by parties in the West. heavy law
suit having been brought against him with
malicious charges, all of which have been
disproved, the suit dismissed, and the charg-
es retracted by the parties making them.
Mr.. Rice says that he Is the largest owner
of the stock of the Fort Payne Coal 81 Iron
Company. holding over 5000 shares which
have cost him over 100000 He is also the
largest individual investor in Fort PAYNE. an
amount Of over $450,000.
He believes that the only thing necessary
to bring Fort Payne to the front is more
money to work with.
Mr.. Rice has just returned from an inves-
tigation Of the resources and prospects of the
Puget Sound country, over which he Is yery
enthusiastic. He expects to return there
shortly and connect himself with an enter
prise about to be started.

Made a Room out Of a cistern

In the basement of City Hall are two
large cisterns. built before the introduction
OF Sebago water into the city, which re-
ceive the water from the roof of the build
ing These two cisterns have been connect
ed by large drain pipe, and the water has
been coming from the roof to cistern No. /,
thence through the pipe to No. 2, and thence
to an old well outside. Cistern No. 2 Is a
good-sized room by itself, and Engineer Cook
has conceived the laudable idea of making it
OF some use. To that end he was employed
yesterday in connecting the first cistern di-
rectly with the sewer, thus enabling him to
turn the other to practical use.
