attempt to locate and raise the wreck of
the Pewabic, which sank in Thunder bay,
in i2O feet Of water, - years ago. -Four
attempts have been made TO raise the YES

The depth at which the worl; was to be

life was squeezed out.
Chalk has behind him several wealthy
men, who pay him 81 900 for the attempt
and guarantee his life insurance in case ne
dies. In the event that they are able to
bring up the wreck they agree to divide
the cargo equally with him. The Pewabio

Boyd is Governor of Nebraska by Decision
of the Supreme Court of the United
States.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The United States
Supreme Court to-day decided the Nebraska
governor case in favor of Boyd, the Demo-
cratic contestant for governor.
HOW THE COURT STOOD.
All the justices except Justice Field con-
CURED in the conclusion of the court that
Boyd was citizen of the United States
and entitled to the office of governor of
Nebraska. Justices Harlan, Gray and
Brown concurred in that part of the opin-
ion which held that Boyd was citizen
because from the record in the case, ii
must be considered as established that
Boyds father having exercised all the
rights OF citizen, had in fact in 1854
taken out his final naturalization papers,
notwithstanding he did not have the
record of such final naturalization papers.
The court also held that there was such
a thing as collective naturalization of all
the inhabitants of Nebraska at the time of
its admission, except such as desired to re-
tain their foreign rights and that Boyd's
exercise of various offices showed his in
tention to become citizen. The opinion
was by Chief Justice Fuller.
OMAHA, NEB., Feb. Ex-Governor
oOJut Mncu iniOIulcu VI VIC utClSiOn Vi
the United States Supreme Court in the
Boyd, Thayer case, said to reporter:
81 am more than gratifled to learn that
l am again the governor Of this state,
whose growth | have watched with con-
siderable qualification, growing up as l
did with it. l am now its governor.
OF course do not know what
course MIR. Thayer will pursue, but
suppose he will at once vacate the
chair at the state capital. AS l said
before | cannot now say when shall
go to Lincoln and formally take my
seat as governor. As / have been
inaugurated, can serve just the same
in Omaha for day or two as in Lin
coin. Mr.. Thayer cannot now even act
as governor. Any papers which he may
sign as such or appointments he may
make would be illegal. So l cannot
think that he will attempt to hold the
office any longer"

position, for should the steamer slide
off tho ledge she would surely go the

Judged from the fact that her pro-
peller has been washed away. 1t is now
believed that unless q great part of the
Elders cargo is taken out and trans
ferred to lighters that it will be possible
to float her at all.
THE SITUATION is CRITICAL.

preached the flood the water poured
into the steamer. Her afterhold was
full and this naturally pulled her stern
down. She lies at such an acute angle
that her forehold is perfectly dry. The

and to judge from appearances she will
never float again. Her officers have
decided that the steamer is i'll too dan
gerous a position now for any one to

The pumps on the Elder were kept
working at their full capacity all night,
but though tons of water poured
through the scuppers the sea kept slowly
but surely gaining, pouring through a

had torn the stout iron plates like pieces
of card board. At daylight signals were
shown from the vessel which when
translated read that the steamer wanted

launched through the heavy surf and
started for the steamer.
In the meantime q portion Of the

The lifeboat crews and their passengers
got along very well for time, but when
they got into the combers they had &c

ON THE KITE TRACK.
A Shower Stopped Yesterdays sport-To-
days Races.

The Old Orchard kite track again en-
countered dispensation of unfavorable
weather yesterday. There were threat
ening clouds and the rain drops COM
menced to fall soon after II o'clock.
This, of course, kept people away, and
when the bell was rung at o'clock,
there were only 200 or 300 people on the
track, it still continuing to rain.
1t was decided, however, to finish the
2.20pacing race of the previous day, in
which Allan Lowe had taken two heats
Psyche one.
The fourth, and as it proved the decid-
ing heat. was paced in the rain. The
game looking and speedy roam mare,
Psyche, having the pole, took the lead,
with Allan Lowe a persistent pursuer.
He pressed so hard that near the half
mile pole Psyche took to wings, or tried
to, and Allan went to the front and re-
manned there, winning the deciding heat
and race in 2.27 is.
This ended the 2.20 pacing race started
Thursday, in which the best time made
on the track, 2.2444, was scored by Allan
Lowe, and in which the favorite in the
pools, Dirigo Maid, was distanced in the
first heat. Critmore was subsequently
distanced on the track, leaving but two
horses to divide the $1,000 purse. Allan
Lowe took $500 and Psyche $3.50.
At the finish of the pacing race the
rain was falling freely, and after consul
tation between the officers of the associa-
ton, judges and some of the owners of
the horses entered, it was decided to
postpone until Saturday afternoon. The
announcement was made from the
judges stand, and that all who had pur-
chased tickets would have them returned
and the tickets would admit Saturday.
The races to be trotted this afternoon
are the 2.3S, 2.24 and 2.33 classes.

This is the season when Maine is open
ing the front door to welcome visitors
from all parts of the Union and Canada.
The summer resorts are all in order, and
the vanguard of the army of leisure men
and women is already here. Casco Bay
will receive her usual share, and the
many beautiful resorts in the interior of
the country will this year bemore promi-
nent than ever. One of the most mag
nificent of these resorts is at Raymond
Spring, North Raymond, where an ele-
giant hotel was erected last year and has
been enlarged this season. The Wilson
gion as the Poland Spring house. The
two hotels are on sister elevations with a
broad valley of three miles between
them. The Wilson Spring house is on a
little higher elevationl than the Poland
Spring house, and commands the same
magnificent view of country, lake and
mountain. Raymond Village, the church
modelled from the old Hawthorne House,
and Lake Sebago are only eight miles
distant; the Shaker community at New
Gloucester is two miles distant; Ray
mond Lake two miles; the summit of
Black Cat Mountain two miles; Sabbath
Day Lake two miles; while from the
broad piazza of the hotel Mt. Washing
ton can be seen plainly by day, and Sc
gum light, 40 miles away, is plainly WISH
BILE by night.
The scenery about the hotel is every
where most beautiful. No portion of
Maine can be said to surpass it.
The waters of this region have long
been famous for their purity and me-
dicinaI qualities. The same strata that
furnish theyworld renowned waters at
Poland furnish also the spring at North
Raymond. The analysis of the Wilson
spring water shows it to be of the purest,
with proportions of those minerals that
give curative properties.
The hote1,,which has been built new
withinthe last two years, ranks with the
best hotels in the state. 1t is first class
in its appointments and furnishings.
Lastyear its line of patronage was SO ex-
tensive as to necessitate an addition this
season.
The Wilson Brothers, who are propri-
etors of the spring and hotel, have long
been residents of Raymond and long
identified with the interests of the north
ern part of Cumberland county. They
have gradually been making the beauties
of North Raymond known to the world,
with the result that they are enjoying an
extensive patronage from New England,
the Middle States and the West.
The waters of the spring are bottled by
machinery, and are on the market, where
they rank with the best mineral waters.
