The Grand Trunk and coutny Commission

has applied to the county commission
ess Tor writ of certiorari in the matter
Of the order of the commissioners direct

had been changed. The G.. T.. R. say in

THE SKoBELEFF.

Another Added to the Long List of Sad
Myst cries of the Sea-Those Who We're
Aboard tn Barkentine When She Left
Portland-One Woman Among the Num-
Der.
Within the last four weeks there has
been developing another of those sad
mysteries of the sea that are SO frequent
in maritime communities. 1t was four
weeks ago last Sunday that the barken-
tine Skobelef, owned by J. S. Winslow &
Co., of this city, and commanded by
Captain Price Tucker, one of Portland's
bravest and most accomplished sailors,
sailed from this port for Norfolk,
Virginia The Skobeleff should have
reached her destination long ago. but
nothing has been heard from her. Be-
sides Captain Tu cker the Skobeleff
carried First Mate r. K. Maxwell, a
young Boston sailor, aged 28, who was
accompanied by his beautiful and ac-
complished young wife; Second Mate
William Marsh Of Massachusetts, aged 30;
Cook Richard Suffer, (colored) aged Sd,
of Connecticut; and the following sailors:
John johnson of Sweden, aged 20; Olaf
Petersen of New York, aged 40; Thomas
Dixon of England, aged 81; Edward
Nichols of England, aged. 20, and Karl
Jepsen of Denmark, aged 81.
The Skobeleff had been rather unlucky
this season. On July 20, she left Port
land for Norfolk to take on cargo for
foreign port, and on Friday, July 20,
while off the south shore of Massachu-
sets, was run into by the German steam
ship Normannia. By this collision the
barkentine was so severely damaged
about the bow that Captain Tucker was
obliged to put back to this port for re-
pairs. Had not the Skobelef been light
at the time she would undoubtedly have
been sunk by the collision. But bel ng
light, she slid away before the Norman
MAS PROV and was not cut to the waters
edge.
After being repaired here the Skobelef
sailed from this port Sunday, August
27th, for Norfolk, where she was to get
her cargo She must have been we'll on
her way when the awful storm of
August goth swept up from the south.
This was..the storm that devastated Sa-
vannah and did SO much damage on it's
passage northward. What happened to. the
Skobelef can only be a matter of con-
lecture. She was light, high out of
the water, and said therefore, to be
liable tosroll over in heavy. sea and gale.
It is conjectured that this may have been
her fate It will be remembered that
when the English yacht Valkyrie arrived
in New York few days ago her master,
Captain Cranfeld, made this report:
Son September 10Th, we were preceding
along slowly bucking heavy seas, Though
making fine weather of it, when at $50
a. m. we came across a wreck with her
copper bottom skyward. We were in
latitude Al degrees and 30 minutes, longi
tude 80 degrees and 10 minutes at the
time. The seas were SO heavy that it
was impossible to make any thorough ex-
animation, so simply noting the circum-
stances and the fact that there was no
life about the derelict proceeded on my
way" Some have thought that this may
have been the wreck of the Skobelef.
The fate of those aboard may never be
known. OF course there is the possibility
that some of them may have been picked
up by passing vessel, and therefore are
safe

A Farmer and His HOusekeeper
Battle Robbers.
GOLD is NOW IN BANK
An Heroic Midnight Combat With Two Thieves
Couvinces Farmer Rummel of the
Folly Of Keeping His
Cash at Home.

HARRISBURG, Pa.-The heOric lfgh
made by Farmer Rummel and his
h~ousekeeper against two powerful rob
bers was to save a bag containing SIS
600 in gold. The robbers, however,
did not know that the stake was so big,
or the farmer and the brave woman
might not be living to tell the story of
the combat.
Rummel lives at Carsonville, and has
boarded his cash in his house rather
than put it in the banks. On We'd
nesday night the thieves called
the farmer from his house, and
demanded his money. The house
keeper heard the talking and also
came out. Rummel refused to tell
where the precious bag Of gold was
kept and he was knocked down. Two
bullets We're fired at the woman, and
the robbers, fearing they had murdered
their victims, fed. However, neither
was much hurt.
Farmer Rummel drove to Millershurg
and astonished the bank teller when he
showed a bag of gold toward the win
dow, saying;
"There is $4,000. 1 want to put it
in the bank"
The gold was counted and the figures
were found to be correct. Hereafter
he farmer will be a firm believer in the
security of banks. l

Heating BY Electricity.

In some OF the hotels in the West a
ystem of heat regultion which is GER
calmly novel is carried out. For in
stance, a guest occupying Room 1866
asks for heat. The order is transmit.
ted to ~apeculiar person, the typewriter
of the hotel generally. She goes to a
switchboard and connection is given
electrically with that room, allowing
heat to pass into it. The occupant OF
the room is, perhaps, particular. A
hot-blooded person wishes merely to
keep from freezing; another wants a
high temperature. Each can have his
wish, for a thermostat with a pointer
is on the wall, and the room will keep
itself automatically as desired. The
regulation is seventy degrees, but it
can be departed from as stated, Hard
ware.
