of the leading physicians in Vermont; he
had made special study of the disease
from which he suffered, and became so
expert in its treatment that he was not
only able to prolong his own life, but al
so to render grateful aid to many others
similarly afflicted. He was in love with
his profession, and his profession repaid
his devotion with large measure of sue
cess. Of sunny disposition, he carried his
sunshine into the sick chamber with bene-
fetal results. His life was full of good
deeds IN others behalf, and he will be
sincerely mourned in that section, as well
as elsewhere in the state.
DIR. Clark was secretary of the State
Medical society for many years, and at
one time its president; he held also for
some years responsible official connection
with Mary Fletcher Hospital at Bur
lington. He was specially interested toe
in educational matters, gave much o
his time and strength, on committee:
and otherwise, for the upbuilding of the
St. ilbans schools, and to his tireles:
energy the high school of that place
| yves, in large degree, its present excel
lent standing. He was twice married
and leaves a wife and two children, on
of them Mrs. ]. w. Sault of this place
The funeral was largely attended on Sat
urday, many physicians from out o
town being present and the high schoo

TWO BOOK NOTICES.

The Christian Union says of Rev
Josiah Tyler's book Forty Years
Among the Zulus" that there can
not be too MANY books of this class.
THE fruit of years of personal ex-
periences, for the most part clear in
method and arrangement, realistic
in the best sense of that some what
abused term, vivid in style, broad in
it's conception of the rela tons of
Christian missionary work to the
development of human nature, read
ing his volume is the next best thing
to hear its intelligent and genial
author describe in person the life to
which he gave himself in his youth. y

MAINE CENTRAL WRECK.

A collision occurred between two
freight trains al Bemis station, just
below the White Mt. Notch, Friday,
which DELAYED all trains for nearly
So hours. The east and west bound
freights were to pass at this station,
the former having orders to take the
siding while the latter remained on
the track. The east bound train
was double header, but the grade
was so steep that it became unman-
ageable and ran past the siding into
the other train which had already
arrived, demolishing three locomo-
tives and wrecking several cars. No
one was hurt. The mail train Sat
urday carried by the wreck, but the
Portland express due here at mid
night was delayed until after IL
| O'Clock Sunday.

The Mackerel Fleet.

The Ethel and Addie arrived yesterday
with 1870 barrels of mackerel, and the Lii
la B. Fernald with 80 barrels, all caught
off the shore. The Roger Williams, with
so barrels, has also arrived this week.
The fish are fatting very fast, and the
quality of fish is much better than last
year. But the schools are not in posi-
ton for good fishing yet. The Eddie
Davidson and Northern Eagle, two Glou-
cester fishermen, were in yesterday, and
their captains say that while there seem
to be many fish they are going in small
pods. One captain set his seine eight times
for II barrels. This state Of the fishing ac-
counts for the slowness of the Portland
vessels in returning with fares.
The Maud S. fitted out yesterday to &c
this morning.
Reports from the North Bay, P. E. l.,
indicate that the mackerel are thick
there, and that some of the Gloucester
seiners there are doing well. There are
10 or II Gloucester vessels there that are
doing well hooking.
Quite number of the mackerel fleets
put into this harbor last night with good
fares. The A. Coffin of Gloucester had
good luck.

BAILEY ISLAND BRIDGE.
The Matter Taken Under Amusement by
the Committee.

The case of the hearing on the bridge
between Bailey's and Orr's Island, which
was fully reported in the PRESS, was
adjourned to yesterday morning to the
Supreme Court room in this city before
the committee, of which Judge Water
man is chairman. The petitioners put in
the additional testimony of Ira and
Frank W. Carlton, their engineers, who,
since the last hearing, have been over the
locality and made further soundings and
observations. The engineers testified
that after this examination they found
no occasion to change their original esti-
mate of $500 for the construction of a
suitable bridge between the two islands.
Joseph F. Curt of Chebeague Island,
a stone contractor, testified that he made
an examination of the location some six
years ago, and that he would do the job
for $4,000.
Fred J. Ilsley was recalled by the re-
monstrants to rebuff the testimony as to
cost. In his Judgment a stone bridge is
the only kind that would be suitable for
the place, and such bridge cannot be
constructed for anything like the esti-
mate given by the other side.
Mr.. Seiders, of the counsel for the pc
titioners, stated that the Messrs. Carlton
were ready to give sufficient bonds for
the construction of suitable bridge for
the amount of their estimate.
General Cleaves then proceeded to adj
dress the committee in behalf of the re-
monstrants. The contest for this bridge
was begun in 1885. This question, he
said, had been passed upon by two boards
of selectmen and two boards of county
commissioners, and the bridge had each
time been refused. He claimed that if
constructed across the passage between
the two islands the proposed bridge
would be an obstruction to navigation,
and that it was desired by those who rep
resent only a small part of the tax-pay-
ing interest of the town. He commended
that common convenience and public ne
cessity did not require the location and
building of the bridge, and further that
the power to lay out bridge rested in
the town alone, and that no right of ap-
peal existed.
Mr.. Seiders gave a history of the eff
forts of the residents of these islands to
obtain a bridge. He proceeded to re-
view the evidence and to show the rapid
growth of the islands in wealth and pop
ulation, and their need of better commu-
nication with each other. Mr.. Seiders
made an interesting and elaborate argu-
ment in behalf of the petitioners, con-
Guiding shortly before 2 o'clock.
The committee took the matter under
Amusement, and will report at the Octo-
Der term of court.

FlSHERMAN'S LUCK.
Mr.. Charles Jordan's Adventure with the
Shark Is Much Talked OF at the Cape
Dog Fish and Britishers are Troublesome.

Mr.. Charles Jordan's adventure with
the shark was the topic of much CONVEX
sation at Cape Elizabeth yesterday. Mr..
Jordan went out in his Hampton boat
Monday night, arriving at the fishing
grounds in the morning. He at once set
his trawl, which is long line buoyed up
by empty kegs and having short lines
with hooks pendant from it at intervals
of three feet. These travis are often a
mile long, with very many hooks hang
ing from them. Mr.. Jordan's was not
SO long, however.
He had set his trawl and gone back to
the first end to take whatever cod or had
dock might have bitten the hooks. The
first fish he found was large cod. Mr..
Jordan had just got the fish to the sur
face when big shark dashed at the cod
and swallowed it, hook and all Mr.. Jor-
dan hung to the line of the trawl manful-
ly, but the line was not strong enough to
hold a shark. Itsnapped and the shark,
carrying the trawl with him and enraged
by the pricking of the hook, dashed at
the boat, biting at it and at the same
time diving under it. He came up I'M
der the rudder with tremendous flop
that rocked the boat, threw the rudder
high into the air and dashed a cloud of
spray into the boat which drenched Jor-
dan completely. The rudder when it
came down dropped into the sea. The
shark also disappeared, carrying the
trawl with him.
Mr.. Jordan had now lost his rudder
and his trawl and was drenched to the
skin. He wisely concluded to steer for
Cape Elizabeth as best he could with an
oar.
But he enjoyed the satisfaction of
knowing that the shark also must be a
little unhappy dragging after him big
tangle of line and fish hooks, the end of
which was fixed in his interior by stout
cod hook.

PORTLAND. July IA, 1892.
F you are going to
L the seashore this
summer you'll want
a bathing suit of course,
so will every member Of
the family.
That will be quite a
considerable item of ex-
pense and maybe you
hadn't reckoned itin your
estimate of the cost of this
seasons outing. Perhaps
like many another you
had though to depend on
the "suits to let" man and
worry along by socca-
sionally leasing the i'll fit
ting, i'll looking combina-
tons that are always on
hire at public bathing
houses, and make the best
Of it.
Don't do it!
Two thirds of the
pleasure, to say nothingof
the benefits from a health
standpoint, of a seaside
vacation, is derived from
the daily plunge in the
surf with the sun bath on
the sand afterwards, the
rent you'll pay for a hired
suit-if you go often
will amount to more than
the price of a complete
outfit, besides you'll al
ways have the disagree
able feeling that you're
wearing clothes that hun
dreds, perhaps, have worn
before you.
All this to say that we
are headquarters for
everything in the way of
beach outfits.
sponges, to wells,
brushes, soaps and the
other needful things are to
be had here too, and the
prices for everything are
as low as similar quail
ties are sold for anywhere
