Loss of the Matte e. Eaton.

The crew of the schooner Matte E.
Eaton, with cargo of 1000 tons of coal,
from Baltimore for New York, were land
ed at Lewes, Del, Wednesday. They were
taken off by the schooner Annie Conant
on the 25th inst. when the Eaton having
become waterlogged about 200 miles
south of Cape Henry was abandoned in
a sinking condition. She took the heavy
northwesterly gales of the oath and be-
gan leaking that morning. The crew
applied the steam pumps for 40 hours
when they were rendered useless by salt
water. The Eaton lost her boats and
sustained much damage to her spars
and sails before she was abandoned. The
crew were nearly exhausted and some of
them slightly frostbitten, their suffer
ings from exposure being very severe.
The Eaton was of $50 tons, built at
Thomaston in 1887, from which port she
hailed, and was owned by Captain Gam
age of Bristol and parties in Portland.

The Connecticut River Deal.

There are very positive statements
that Boston & Maine and Reading inter
ests have increased their holdings of
New England and see their way clear in
connection with the controlling interests
in Manhattan and New York and North
ern to make direct combination of
great value to all of these properties.
One of the higest officials in one of
them says: 81 think it is pretty well
settled that what is known as the Phila-
delphia syndicate, has secured control of
New England. 1t has nor secured con-
troll of New York and Northern. This is
held by Payne, Whitney and others, but
they are in sympthy with the rest. The
control of the Connecticut River Road is
considered certain to throw a great deal
of new traffic over the New England and
New York and Northern roads from
Springfield, which has heretofore passed
over the New Haven road. Largely in
creased earnings on all these roads are
expected to follow the deals which have
been made, and promised big earnings
are referred to as the basis of the pres
ent bull movements"

A Serious Affair.

A somewhat serious affair occurred on
Wednesday evening in connection with
the Congress Street M. E. Church. The
members of the church and congrega-
ton, feeling that perhaps their pastor
needed little disciplinary treatment, de-
termined on its administration. So they
gathered at the vestry of the church for
consultation and for the strengthening
of each others resolutions and conclud-
ed to make their attack. Armed with
the weapons of warfare, each weighing a
pound or more, they marched in a body
to the residence of their pastor. Not
willing to ''break i'm they rang the door
bell and when the door was opened a
large number of friends, as he supposed,
rushed in and commenced their attack
The reverend gentleman seemed to take
it very coolly as if he had been used to
such treatment. Finally to soothe his
feelings barrel of -four was rolled in at
the back door, There was also a re-
hinder of the clergyman's nationality in
the form of a gold sovereign. A truce
was proclaimed and the evening was
very pleasantly passed in social converse
ton. Thus closed very Interesting

Boston s. Maine.

A New York Evening Post, New
Haven special says: Reports are in circu-
lation of a combination of the old Con-
necticut River directors, the minority
stockholders and the Consolidated Rail-
road men to carry the fight to thescourts
or to the Massachusetts legislature. In
railroad circles here it is. felt that the
Springfield deal, whether the Boston &
Maine succeeds or not, points to mnch
closer relations than heretofore between
the New Haven Road and the Boston and
Albany.
A good authority on New England
Railroad affairs says: Reading has not
dollar of interest in the purchase of
Connecticut River Railroad stock. The
money for that purchase was supplied
chiefly by the Jones-Sinclair-Sewall in
terest in Boston and Maine. | believe
they got fair bargain regardless of the
value of the property in connection with
Reading. The Connecticut River Road
has been paying about - per cent, and
it could have paid a good deal more if it
had been managed differently. 1t is we'll
known to travellers that the Connecticut
River Road has never made good connec-
lions with Southern lines, and the real
reason has been that the Vanderbilt New
Haven interest has wished to see Mon
treal traffic come over the Vanderbilt
lines from Albany instead of coming
down the Connecticut River Road, thence
by Springfield and New Haven. Now,
however, there will be some changes for
the better. I think the Boston and
Maine people are large holders of Read
ing stock, and that an arrangement has
been make by which Reading will secure
big share of the coal tonnage distribut
ed in northern and eastern New England.
1 think the control which Boston and
Maine can exercise over the coal traffic
in it's territory is the real foundation of
the Bostan and Maine Reading Stock

PORTLAND, August 2, 1918.
This robbery, as the sequel proved,
was committed by two well known citi-
zens of previous good standing, as bust
ness men (whose names are withheldl,
who had in some way obtained false
keys by which they entered the bank
and vault and then cleaned out nearly all
it's contents. The money was secreted
in different places in the town and vicin-

sons on whom suspicion rested, were
arrested, and one of them proposed to
disclose where part of it was secreted.
and took Mr.. Newhall, the President
of the bank, to the place where he snip
posed it had been left. On arriving
there they found that the deposits
had been removed by his confederates to
some other place. On this discovery he
took pistol from his pocket and shot
himself dead, the ball entering his mouth,
the intelligence of which soon spread
through the town. The writer being in
that vicinity was soon on the spot and
saw the unfortunate man as he then
lay. A part of the money was after
wards found in Scarborough a d other
places where it had been taken by his
confederate, and nearly all of it was
finally recovered and returned to the
bank
The confederate was soon after
tried and convicted, ON his own con-
fession and was thereupon sentenced to
the State Prison in Charlestown, Mass
for 10 years. At tn expiration of ten
years he received a pardon when he re-
turned to Portland Several years after
his committal to the prison the writer
being in Boston and having friend who
was then deputy warden of the prison,
was kindly invited to go over there and
see his former townsman who was point
ed out. On his being introduced to a
friend in the company he loosely re-
marked "Youa aoin aLauays find me at

He was an active and Intelligent bust
ness man being always ready for a trade,
and while in the prison knew how to

had accumulated quite a little capital
