BIDDEFoRD, June 17.-Charles F.
Hatch of Saco, had narrow escape from
death by drowning yesterday afternoon
and he was resuscitated with difficulty
after having been under the water nearly
ten minutes, according to the account of
his companions. He was down river in
sail boat with two other men, when
their boat was capsized by the wind near
Edgecomb's point. The other two men
swan ashore but Hatch went under and
was finally hauled out in an inanimate
condition, by some Frenchmen who were
near by at the time of the accident. He
was brought to life again after som e
hard work and was apparently all right
last night.

SAco, June 17.-One of the heaviest
thunder showers known here for years
passed over Biddeford and Saco at 2
o'clock this afternoon. The wind blew
furiously at first and for few minutes a
repetition of Tuesdays big wind storm
was expected. The sky became inky
black and it was so dark that stores and
houses were lighted up and work had to
be discontinued in the schools. The
lightning struck in several places at Old
Orchard but did no particular damage.
In Biddeford ex-Tax Collector George
A. Berry's house ON Elm street was
struck by lightning, which played curl
GUS pranks inside. The oil cloth carpet
on the dining-room was torn into shreds
and part of it deposited on the dining
room table. The damage was $500. A
COW in Saco was killed while out to pas
ture. Communication by Western Union
wires west was cut off and with Portland
was rendered difficult. lightning also
struck the electric railroad wires near
Old Orchard. Two balls of fire, coming
from different directions along the wire,
struck one car and burned out the mo-
tors.

BASS WAS THE WINNER.
The Facts About the Eastern Maine Fair
Case.
Especial to the Press.1

BANGOR, Me-, June 1.-THE case of
Flavius O. Beal and Ezra l.. Sterns VS.. J.
P. Bass and the Eastern Maine Fair is
famous one, and people in all parts of
the state are interested. The case was
argued before Judge Haskell some weeks
ago by Judge Symonds of Portland and
the decision has been awaited with in
terest. The decision reached here Thurs
day, but the reports sent out ABOUT it
were erroneous. The case was decided
favorably to Mr.. Bass. In brief, the
case was as follows: At the trial the
question at issue was whether there was
legal corporation, and whether or not
the fair had been conducted by the cor
pOration since its organizat on. 1t was
claimed on the part of Beal and Sterns
that they and Bass were co-partners, and
that the business Of the fair had been
conducted by them as co-partners. Mr..
Bass denied the co-partnership and
claimed that there was legal corpora
ton and the fairs had been conducted by
the corporation since Its organization.
The court fully sustains the position
taken by Mr.. Bass, and has decided there
is legal corporation, that fairs have
been conducted by the corporation, and
that the corporation has the right to
have the lease assigned to it by its pay
ing $4,4S4.66, the amount now due
Messrs. Bass, Beal and Sterns, $4, ,261 of
which is due Mr.. Bass, $1O2 due Mr..
Beal and $121.50 due Mr.. Sterns. The
court decides that the extent of their in
dividual interests in the fair ground is to
secure them for these liabilities which

HOW BRUNSWICK FARED.
An Ugly Storm. But Not So Bad as That of

Last Tuesday.
Especial to the Press.1
BRUNSWICK, June ia terrific
shower accompanied by wind passed
over this place this place this afternoon
at about 1.30, lasting for 80 minutes.
The wind blew from the north and north
west, breaking down trees and unroof-
ing the barn of Mr.. White in Topsham.
The lightning struck in several plpces,
but the amount of damage done we were
unable to learn.
Very few people realize the amount of
damage done in this town by Tuesdays
storm. The wire bridge connect
ing the island on which is the
electric light plant, and the
main land was blown down, the canoe
club house was moved from it's founda-
ton and turned on its side, eight elm
trees, none less than two feet in diane
ter, were blown down and the chimney
from the roof of Benjamin Green's resi-
dence was blown over as was the flag
pole in front of the Tontine hotel. Hail
stones were picked up measuring in
ches in circumference. Windows were
blown in and glass broken in the box
shop. Thousands of square feet of tin
roofing was torn completely off the,
various mills and factories in the place.
The trees on the college campus and
the college buildings both Jared very
badly. Two houses in process of con-
struction were razed to the ground. The
loss of crops and on buildings in this vi
cinity will reach well up in the thous-
ands. One man had a leg broken, and
another his wrist badly cut by flying
glass.

AS white men advance into Africa, as
they are now doing from all sides, they
find the same differences among the
people as among the aborigines of other
continents The lowest types are the
exceptions, and there are pure negro
races of extraordinary native talent.
Among these are the Makololos, who

Sebotoane, a native Caesar or Alexander.

Democrat of considerable influence in
Illinois, declares that all of the 4S dele

Ex-Secretary Whitney and delegates
from all parts of the country had a con-
ference this evening. 1t is admitted
that the field is thoroughly suyyeyed.
There is no end of ragged detail to the
preliminaries of the convention, The
simple fact is that not enough Democrat
ic wisdom and bossism is on the ground
yet to give reason for anything. more
substantial than gossip. But thus far it
is a fight between Cleveland and the
hope of his opponents to hold more than
one-third of the delegates solidly against
him.
As yet only here and there does a
sparse bit of bunting illumine the front
of hotel or saloon. Meantime carpenters
toll at the tar and timber roof of the in
t1ammable pine shell in which the con-
ventlon is to risk nearly 10000 lives, and
architects and contractors continue to
dispute as to whether to the peril of fire
there is to be added the danger of break
ing timbers, crashing galleries and fall
ing walls. One architect declared that
the roof of the wigwam was strong
enough to support all the Barnum ele-
plants, while another confessed that the
roof would be severe strain upon it's
supports, but everybody admitted the
danger of fire. The tinder box in which
the convention is to meet is. to be lighted
at night by electricity and 100 other
wires will connect with telegraph instru-
ments. All these wires are supposed to
be insulated, but everybody knows how
defective insulation oftensis. In view of
all this some of the Chicago newspapers
are crying out against night sessions of
the convention, which would only add to
the inevitable loss of life in case of fire.
