The NTackereI Fleet.

The fleet landed only one trip of Tic
barrels up to Thursday. When the sum-
mary was made up Saturday. three small
fares were landed at Gloucester, A, u
and So barrels respectively. But these
do not include the unexpected hauls of
Monday night in Cape Cod bay, when
about 1000 barrels were taken in nets
and traps. OF this lot some 500 barrels
were sailed and the. remainder sent to
market fresh. This run of mackerel
disappeared as suddenly as they came,
and have not been seen since. Where
they came from and where they have
gone to nobody knows exactly, but the
supposition is that they were on their
way south, and struck inside of the
Cape instead of outside. Finding their
mistake, all that were not caught turned
tail and made for the deep, wide ocean
again.

THE CRAWFORD HOUSE.
There Is To Be Litigation In New Hamp-
shire To See who Owns Its Location.

Portland despatch in Sunday Herald.l
A. P. Gordon of Fryeburg arrived here
after several weeks sojourn in the wilds
of New Hampshire, notably the region
in and about the celebrated Crawford
notch. Mr.. Gordon is the we'll known
expert at woodland surveying, and he
was accompanied by Joseph Pittman of
Bartlett, N. H., and L. III. Thompson of
Limington, Me-
The result of his work in the vast tim
Der land section which he traversed will
undoubtedly be ventilated in the courts
of New Hampshire, and the most extern
sive land litigation known in the Granite
state for years will probably ensue.
The territory in question embraces a
section of the White Mountain region
that is most picturesque, and consequent
ly most valuable.
The origin of this litigation, which
will involve property and timber to the
value of $4,000 or more, antedates the
memory of the present inhabitants. The
contested property embraces over 5000
acres of woodland through the Crawford
notch. James Henry, the famous New
Hampshire lumber king, is one of the
contestants, and Messrs Barron and
Merrill are his opponents.
Many years ago the state of New
Hampshire granted section of the
White Mountain region to one Thomas
Crawford. Upon that section is now
situated the famous Crawford House.
Messrs. Barron & Merrill also control
the Fabyan, Tip Top, Twin Mountain
and other famous hotels. The point of
difference appears to be this:
Mr. Henry according to his survey re-
Gently made, declares that his purchases
of grants includes the Crawford
property upon which is situated the
Crawford House. The line of lease of
his surveyors is 40 rods beyond the Car
roll line, which is claimed to be errone
GUS. Messrs. Barron and Merrill do not
intend to be deposed from their proper
ty. and engaged Mr.. Gordon to work
upon the case. He finds that the proper
base Of survey should have been at the
junction of the Nash and Sawyer grant.
1t is claimed that the Henry surveyors
took as their basis the wrong point,
whereby taking in the Crawford House
property.
The case will probably soon be brought
to trial. Judge Brigham will be counsel
for Messrs. Barron g. Merrill.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Portland Theatre.

Throughout the week, beginning this
evening, Prof. Carpenter. who gave great
pleasure to audiences in this city several
wears ago, will give his exhibitions of
hypnotism, now one of the popular fads
of the day. An exchange says that the
professor does not believe that in mes
merizing his subjects he is in any respect
their actual superior. He says he merely
obeys an occult natural law which some
persons, peculiarly susceptible, are also
bound to obey when he is with them and
so wills it, There is nothing more won
derful, he says, in his making mesmer-
lied person believe stick is a cigar and
try to smoke it than in the numerous
dreams which will occur to every one as
part of ones own experience; when one
dreams that something very absurd is
the case, while the dreamer takes it as
matter of course and doesn't think it at
all remarkable.
Amusements are rather at a low ebb at
present, although this time of the year is
always considered the most profitable to
managers of entertainments in this vicin-
ity. Perhaps they are afraid of presiden-
tial election.
The next entertainment in the regular
Stockbridge course will take place No
vember 24th and will be concert by
Nine. Travary, Helen Dudley Campbell,
Leopold Lichtenberg, Sig. Del Puente
and others. In the Popular course Sousa s
new Chicago band will appear, Novem-

Brl1ttnttt Chronicle.
THURSDAY, DEC. %, 1892.
NOT DEAD YET.

Cleveland's total vote was 100000;
Harrison's, 100000; Weaver's, 1,000,-
600, and Bidwell's, 100000. Cleveland
had a plurality of 100000. Dishonest,
violent. and outrageous election methods
at the South account for the most of that
100000, and populist vote of 100000
in the North, drew sufficiently from
Republican ranks to cover the balance.
In States where honest elections are the
rule, Harrison had plurality of at least
100000. These figures do not indicate
a very tremendous landslide toward the
tenets of Democracy. There is not
much overwhelming" about it. Cleve-
land had a plurality of 100000 four
years ago, when he was defeated, and a
plurality of 25,000 in 1884 when he was
elected. Nor do the figures indicate the
eternal smash up of the Republican
party. The grand old party stands with
nearly five and half millions of votes
cast for its principles in 1892, and they
are honestly cast. A Democratic plural
ity of 100000 in a contest where Ala
bama piles up 10000 and Texas 160,-
600, is not significant of political
revolution. The Republican party
enters the year of 1898 neither dismayed
or disorganized. A party which can
hold 81 millions of votes is no mean
force yet, especially as those casting
these votes are firm in their convictions
of the wisdem of protective tariff, and
imbued with eternal antagonism to the
wild theories and the dishonest methods
of the Democracy.

A SCARE was started few days age
over the report that the British govern
ment was maintaining war ships on the
lakes under the name of revenue cutters
and in violation of a treaty. However,
it transpires that the u. S government
has much larger vessels on the lakes
that could be turned into war ships in a
few hours, SO there need be no fear.
