ONE LIFE LOST.
Steamer Watertown and Her Cargo Com
pIeteIy Destroyed by Fire.

pietely Destroyed by FIRE.
Boston, Sept 29-Steamer Watcrtown,
which has been plying between Boston aud
Lynn this season, caught fire on her in
ward trip ami was run ashore just after
passing Shirley gut. The boat cost S50,-
100, and was built only two years ago.
None of the passengers were seriously
injured, but Mrs. Mary Frances Carter, IS
years of age, wife of the steward of the
steamer, who was on the trip for pleasure,
received injuries from which she died.
Her husband, ii. A. Carter, was burned
about the face and neck, but not seriously.
The crew escaped with the loss Of all their
personal effects, and with only the clothes
they stood in.
The owner Of the Watertown, John f.
Cassidy, furnished them with new outfits
when they reached Boston last night ON
the tug Ida NJ. Dolby.
The steamer Watertown, Captain Alley
In command, left Commercial wharf yes
terday at 1920 o'clock, twenty minutes
later than her advertised time of starting
She carried miscellaneous cargo, com
prising kegs of white lead, several barrels
Of kerosene oil, bundles of leather, n large
quantity of fresh meats few barrels of
salt pork, boxes and bales of merchandise
Of various descriptions, and other and
lighter articles Not single piece OF the
cargo was saved.
As she was passing through Shirley gut
smoke and flames were seen to be issuing
from her sides amidships. and Immediate
ly the alarm of fire was given. A hasty
examination convinced Captain Alley and
Mate Clancy that the best thing to do
was to head the steamer for Shirley Point,
which was at once acted on, and she was
run aground ION Handkerchief shoals,
some fifty or seventy-fve yards from the
shore.
In an instant the flames seemed to leap
completely over the centre of the hurri-
zane deck, the wind tanning the fire
toward the aft. An attempt to work the
Gre apparatus of the Watertown was
iruitless, as the hose had at the first been
burned in the near centre.
Just what caused the fire is at present
smystery Not a soul who was aboard
The steamer could give the slightest hint as
10 what started the sudden blaze, which
burned with unabated fury till the very
.ast. IL is agreed, however, that IL came
from below decks somewhere In the vicin-
fly Of the boilers, but further than this no

"Too late" said Sheldon.

accent on declined.
The name OF about every man In the
room was then shouted in rapid success

Meanwhile Sheldon's face bore an ex-
preston which was cross between
piteous anxiety and submerged anger.
"If nobody will take the chair We will
have to adjourn" said he.
Then John A. Arnold and Wheat Cole
were given an opportunity to see how
sweetly positive they could say 81

At this point Sheldon took his coat and
walked out.

"Come back, shouted Darling.
Sheldon came as far as the door.
ss"l don't see any improperly in you
taking the position OF Chairman your
self" said Mr.. Goh.
Sheldon looked mt him with half dis
dainful half blank expression, turned on
his heel and went down stairs.
GLOW much was the rent OF the room?"
someone was wicked enough TO loudly
ask as Sheldon left.
Then those present were at sea. II was
plain that there were many present who
had urged Mr.. Sheldon to take this step
and at the last moment had not the
courage to stand by. This was shown by
the attempt to organize the meeting after
Sheldon went out.
Mr. Goff tried TO get several to take the
chair and finally MIR. Horton said To him
"Git in thar yourself"
At this point j.. w. Blodgctt came In
| though no one knew what for. His
presence was not half so appropriate as
was that OF solemn Deacon Kenyon who
walked in slowly soon after.
Then began an informal talk and strange
to say it was all about getting "new and
businesslke" City Council and trust to
luck as to the Mayor, although the meet
ing was called to discuss the Mayoralty.

And how. Johnny Adams, Ben Davis, Joe
Miller and Major Tingley would have
WINGED had they been there.
After long conference between Goff,
! Darling, Wheat Cole, Horton, Tom Sweat
land and a few more, Goh turned to the
outer fringe OF the disconnected Republi
cans and said with n sort OF apologize APP
peal:
"Gontlomon, We have a City Committee,
and would suggest that the committees
in the various wards make select ions for
Aldermen .and Councimen and the entire
committee meet and compare notes so
that each man who has been selected
as nominee may know with whom he is
to be associated on the ticket.
Good men can be got il they have good
associates. IL the ticket suits the City
Committee as body, let it be submitted

go into the caucuses and nominate the
men selected
A few nodded approval, Wheat Cole
said he would report TO the City Com
mittco and then most OF those present
went down stairs and sat behind stacks
/ OF chips, whist hands and domnoes.

The clip was terrific one. She was at

began to cheer but, at a word of admoni-
tion from the judges, lapsed into silence
This was only broken by murmured
"ohs" when the the third quarter was
done in l:29 3-4s. Even the judges were
appalled, at the wonderful burst of speed,
and thought the mare was running away.
So fast did she come that no one could
tell her gait On she flew and into the

steady hand, and olucking gentle "whoas"
to keep her steady, squared her away for

hoof beats sounded loud to the silent
crowd. As Doble gathered her for the
final effort he touched her gently with the

Political Campaign About To Open-Inter.
teresting Pythisn M-eting-Notes.


Within a week the campaign will be in
full blast i'm this village. nc Democrats
are already in the field and uniformed,
working for the election OF the Democra-
tic candidates. The Republicans have
started In this week and have raised a
formed In a few days. To = careful OBJ
server Of the political situation II is ap-
parent that the Democrats will largely in
crease their vote at the coming election.
Repu ublicans freely admit that they can
not hope for, neither DO they expect to,
carry the town by as large majority as
they did in April. They even concedo
that their majority will fall off surely 80 per
cent. This will be brought about by the
Independent voters who cast their lot with
the Republicans in the last election but
who are disposed to vote for Cleveland.
Republicans are in a state OF apathy 1t is
well known. Their enthusiasm Is con-
fined to a number who are not of voting
age.

enthusiasm Is being shown in his village
at the present time.
