Good Templars.

The grand secretary of Maine Good
Templars, Geo. E. Brackett of Belfast,
was in the city last night on his return
from the bienniel session of the Worlds
Good Templars at Des Moines. Iowa, last
week. He reports the largest session
ever held with delegates from nearly all
the civilized nations of the globe, includ-
ing South Africa, New Zealand, Aus
tralia, India, etc. The largest Grand
Lodge in the world is England; the larg.
est in America is New York, with
Maine second. The title of the
worlds order is changed to Interna-
tional Supreme Lodge of Good Temp
lars.

next session in 1895 by Sidney, New So.

THEY CAUGHT A WHALE.
The Exciting Experience of Crew Fishing
for Mackerel.

Capt. Lorenzo Thompson, of the
schooner Eliza Allen, brought in yester-
day the largest catch of the season, 5000
pounds in one fish, in short fin back
whale. They had struck a big school of
mackerel off Half Way Rock, and had
their net out. Suddenly it went out of
sight, and was evidently full of some
thing. Before they could ascertain what
they had got they were in position of
considerable danger, for the whale in
its struggles to come to the surface to
''blow'' almost took the dory and the
men in it under. Had they gone over
the side it would have been death to
them, for the whale was making frantic
efforts for life and was mad every bit
through.
After while the united efforts of all
on board overcame the fighting and half
maddened whale, and they succeeded in
keeping it from the air long enough to
kill it.
Had the whale once managed to get to
the surface and clear itself from
the net, there would have been hard
fight then and there, for while anything
but full grown, only about 20 feet long
and weighing perhaps trife over 5000
pounds, it would have made it hot for
the men in the dory, if not for the rest.
Having killed the whale they discov-
cred that the school of mackerel had dis
appeared, and SO they made sail for
home with their whale, their broken net
and what few fish they had.
The whale was bought by J. w. Ire
fethen, and is now at his fish house on
Commercial wharf. 1t has already been
seen by many old fishermen, who pro-
nounce it the best specimen of a fin back
whale ever captured in these waters.
They are somewhat at sea regarding its
probable age, but Capt. Thompson and
crew can testify that it was old enough
to fight well.

MADISON WOODEN MILLS.
A Meeting of the Company VIII Be Held
July Sixth.

Interested parties say the Madison
WOODEN mills are coming out of their
difficulties all right. An attachment, it
will be remembered, was placed on the
mills few weeks ago, on merchandise
account, caused by the stringency of the
money market. Last January, when the
annual meeting was held, VanV alkenburg
81 Co. of New York were elected selling
agents, in place of II. j. Libby & Co.,
who held one-fourth of the stock, and
had been selling agents for long time.
Then, as the Libbys had always been
very accommodating in their dealings
with the mill, some of the mills credit
ors began to press their claims. Van
Va]kenburg advanced money to the
mills only on such goods as were con-
signed to them. When the Libbys ceased
to be agents, Mr.. j. E. Mcdowell re-
signed from the treasurship. The mill
was under contract to furnish $50, 900
worth of goods to the Libbys, and the
firm was in position to make trouble,
if they chose. Then Mr.. M. L. Williams
succeeded Mr.. Mcdowell, but he hadn't
the Libbys to depend on and money
could hardly be hired, and attachments
began to come in. Then Mr.. Williams
resigned, and lately Major A. R. Small
of Oakland took his place, and James
Walker of Warren, son of Mr.. Warren,
of the River wooden mills. was made
agent. At an adjourned meeting of the
company, July 9th, new selling agent
will be appointed, and it is reported that
Deering, Milliken 6 Co. will be the SELL
ing agents. The only debts are on mer-
chandise accounts.
M. L. Williams says that there is now
on hand enough manufactured products
to pay, when sold, every dollar of in
debtedness, and leave cash surplus of
$4,000. Quite number Of the stock
holders live in this city.
