SAco, July 29.-The steamer City OF
Waterville, which in summer plies be-
tween here and Biddeford Pool, went
ashore this afternoon in dense fog at
the mouth of the Saco river. She struck
ledge running from the easterly point
of Stage Island and was at first thought
to be in perilous position. A telephone
message from the Pool late this evening
said that the steamer was resting easily
and it was hoped she could be floated at
high tide-about3 8 o'clock.
The steamer left Saco early in the af-
ternoon, with but few passengers, but
took on 100 at Camp Ellis pier, and con-
tinued down river. The fog was SO
dense that nothing could be seen 20 feet
off, and the captain had just time to
throw his helm over when the steamer
struck. The whistling brought tug to
her assistance, but the tide was running
out and she could not be foated. Dur
ing the attempt to pull her off the ledge
all of her railing on one side was torn
out by a hawser, which had been put IN
near The SUeTu dnu cdTTltu IoIWdIu.
The hawser in flying over struck
Frank Goldthwaite, a member of the
Pool life saving crew, and broke his leg
below the knee.
The passengers were carried to the
Pool in boats and went home in barges.
The steamer was built in the summer
of 1890 and cost $4,000. She is a stern
wheeler owned by the Waterville Mer-
chants Steamboat Company, of which
VIM. T. Haines is manager. She is run
by Capt. James W. Brown of Waterville.
No blame is attached to him.

WASHINGTON, October l2.-An important
ruling has been made by the general land
Office. Through either negligence or in
competency Of the Southern Pacific and
Washington land attorneys, thousands OF
acres of land in California, as indemnity
selections by the Southern Pacific, have
been forfeited by the latter by reason of
defective filings, and its entries will be can
celed unless the railroad can succeed in
strengthening out its land affairs, which
are said to be in a very bad fix. Forty
thousand acres of the railroad company's
indemnity lands in California were can
celed yesterday, $500 being in the Visalia
district and 10000 in Independence district.
The general land Office has sent letter to
Henry Beard, the Washington land attOr-
ney for the California q Oregon railway
company, in which Commissioner General
Stone said:
"In reply to your verbal request to be in
formed as to what lists, if any, of your
pending indemnity selections are defective
or invalid under department requirements,
l have to advise you that hasty examination
of those now pending shows that all, with
two or three exceptions, are defective for
want proper specification of losses, while
some are absolutely invalid for want of
any opSOtllOablO Whatever AIo aIlOuut
embraced in these lists aggregates 5000 900
acres, while something like 10000 acres
are now pending on appeal by the COM
pany from the rejection of local officers,
which are in the same condition. Hence,
before these lists can be fayorabIy acted
upon, it will be necessary for the company
to make them conform to the departmental
requirements, as heretofore stated. Should
however, the company neglect or refuse to
comply with said demand or fail or refuse
to make its list selections conform to the
requirements of the rules of the depart
ment, such of them as are defective, when
reached in the order of business, will be
held for cancellation and such as are valid
will be cancelled"

Perhaps the Wealth of Brigamd
Ramirez VIII Re Recovered.
CITY OF MEXICO, October 12.-There has
been a story current in this city that there
is secreted in the caves of the Ajusco
Mountain, the extinct volcano, which can
be plainly seen from this city, fabulously
rich treasure that was placed there during
the turbulent days of the fall of Maxmil-
ian's empire. The story goes that during
those times numerous bands of brigands,
one of which was headed by Pablo Ramirez,
preyed on the people. Ramirez was NOR
tally wounded in an encounter with troops
and brought into the City of Mexico and
was attended by a young medical student
named Juan COrdenas, but after few days
suffering he died. He gave the student
directions for the discovery of the place
where the wealth was hidden in one of the
deep barrancas of the AjuscO volcano. The
student could not, however, find the place.
About two months ago an Indian, while
searching for some stray cattle, was climb
ing about in one Of the barrancas Of Ajusco
and discovered a cave. He started TO en-
ter, but had hardly gone three feet when
he came in contact with a wire. Instantly
an explosion was heard and several bull
lets whistled past his head. Thoroughly
| frightened, the Indian scrambled into the
open air and fed. The wire was evidently
attached to a spring gun. An account of
the adventure reached the ears of DR.. Car
denas, who is still living here. He decided
that the cave thus accidentally found was
the one for which he had been searching.
His son at once organized an exploring
expedition to go in search of the treasure.

word has since been received of them. The
old doctor is confident that the party will

Funeral of mrs. f. G. Brown rhi.


Funeral of Mrs. f. @. Brown This
Afternoon.
At 10 O'Clock this morning the casket con-
tanning the remains of Mrs. f. c. Brown
was placed in the front parlors of the FAM
lily residence at No. 1918 Water street, and
the cover removed to enable friends of the
deceased to view the face, now in the re-
pose of death, of one who, in life, was an
acknowledged leader IN the cultured circles
of Olympia. Friends came by one and
tWos, softly entered the darkened room,
gazed tenderly upon the peaceful counte-
nance, and turned away to control their
emotions. The wonderfully natural ex-
preston upon the face of the deceased was
| the subject of subdued comment. Except
for the un usual pallor and emaciatiOn her
appearance was that Of one in sleep.
Choice flowers artistically arranged had
been placed upon the casket and about
the room as tributes from scores of
loving friends. A basket of roses and a
wreath of heliotrope from members of the
Womans' club were conspicuous among
the floral offerings.
! Arrangements had been made for the
funeral services to take place at 2
O'Clock, and the friends began to
/ gather. Chairs were placed in the
sitting room leading of from the parlOr,
| so that persons seated in both rooms could
i hear the words OF the minister. Kew. Il. j
/ Lamont conducted the service, which was
short but impressive.
The rooms we're crowded with listeners
eager to catch the words of cheer and con-
ISOLATION that fell from the preachers lips.

spicuous among the mOurners, disting-
uished by their white baoges.

fore o'clock the funeral cortege moved

number of friends followed the remains to
the grave and joined in the burial service.
At the meeting of the WOmans' club yes
terday the following resolutions were ad-
opted:
Whereas, It has pleased Almighty Goo, ,
in His infinite wisdom, to relieve from her
suffering our beloved sister and honored
president, Mrs. NINA Fleming Brown /;
therefore,
Resolved, That we as a body tender to
the members of her family the heartfelt
sympathy Of this organization, and trust
that in their sorrow they may be comforted
by the knowledge that she has gained "the
peace that passeth all understanding" and
that by her upright life and womanly
qualities she has left an undying memory
in the hearts of all who knew her.
Resolved, That these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of this club and a
copy Of them sent to the family.

SAN FRANo1soo, October 12.- Customs Of
fcers seized quantity of prepared opium,
worth nearly $4,000, on the ship Big Bo-
nanza, on her arrival from Nanaimo yes
terday, with a cargo of coal. Collector
Phelps has known for nearly three weeks
that large quantity would be shipped to
this point on the Big Bonanza. Yesterday
when the vessel entered, the inspectors be-
gan a thorough search. Late in the after
noon the hiding place of the drug was dis
covered in peak of the forward hold, in two
barrels supposed to contain mess beef, were
found, on knocking off the barrel heads,
instead Of ships supplies, 595 tins Of pre-
pared opium. The owner Of the drug is
unknown. Constable Michaels. of Mon
terey, brought up the opium and letter
discovered in the valise of a Chinese killed
by the train near Monterey on Monday
and turned them over to the revenue Off
cials.
Deputy Revenue Agent Thomas had the
opium exported, and it was discovered to
be of domestic manufacture, and neither of
Hong Kong nor Victoria. One letter al
luded to Sing Yuen Tails place, on Dupont
street, and a search there brought to light
one can identical with the Monterey opium.
The letter also said the dead Chinese had
handled forty tins of the same manufact-
ure before. Other searches were made, but
revealed nothing
