FIsHERMEN's STORY
Fishing Craft Fairy Queen fepor'eo 20
Have Been Sunk.


The steamer City of gloucester
brought to Gloucester Thursday from
Boston Captain O'Brien and two seamen.
They say they were in the flsnlng ooao
Fairy Queen, bound to Portland from
the Banks, and that on Tuesday night
the vessel was struck by squat and
capsized and sank in ten minutes. Inc
crew of four men got into cory and
landed near Boothbay, where tnree OF
them took the steamer for Portiand,
thence for Boston. They claimed they
had 10000 pounds of fish ON board at
the time of the accident. The vessel
was eight tons, owned by William Ward
of Boothbay and her master, and insured
in Boothbay for $500. When asked II
they had reported the disaster the men
said they had not, and that they dld not
want it reported in the papers. Capt.
O'Brien said they did not expect TO get
the insurance, as John Simmons, the
cook, who belonged in Brewer, Me-, had
left the party and told stories that were
injurious to him (O'Brien). The men
who arrived at Gloucester are Patrick
O'Brien, Manuel Grear and Arthur New

Mr.. solomon nGatthias's Death.

The death of Mr.. Solomon Matthias
was a topic of considerable interest yes
terday. The circumstances of it appeared
to many unusual; but the people living
on the Cape Shore near the scene, say
that he has been used for many years to
drive over there, hitch his horse just
where he hitched it Thursday and battle
in the cove. They believe that he was
only following his usual habit in going
there Thursday. Mr.. Martin, the under
taker, says that he found no water in the
body when he embalmed it,and therefore
he thinks that death was not from
drowning. Mr.. Matthias had not been
sleeping well for week, was not in good
physical condition, and at his age was
very likely to be affected by hasty
plunge into cold sea water. His family
think that some trouble of the heart
caused his death.
Mr.. Matthias had some insurance on his
life, portion of it being in the fraternal
benefit orders. The whole may amount
to $4,000 or more.
Mr.. George Ehrenfried, a brother of
Mrs. Matthias, arrived from Lewiston
Thursday night and proceeded to Boston
to make arrangements for interment
there.
The deceased leaves sister in Provi-
dence, r. l., and a brother in Paris,
France. Several nephews and nieces
reside in New York, the late residence of
brother, who died several years ago.

Mr.. THURsToN's CASE.
1t Now Seems Probable that He Was Not
Seen on Mount Washington

The friends of Mr.. Samuel Thurston
were unable to give any definite informa-
ton yesterday to the many inquiries as
to his whereabouts. The search on the
south side of the mountains has appa-
rently been as unproductiye as it was
around Gorham. If the stranger at the
Tip Top House on Sunday was Mr..
Thurston, he has disappeared on the
mountain. But some inquiries made by
the PRESS indicate that the stranger was
probably not Mr.. Thurston. The man
registered as 'Loren M. Jackson, Somer-
VILE" If this was Mr.. Thurston he had
selected an assumed name; and it would
not be probable that it would be the
name of another man. The PRESS made
inquiries by telegraph OF the police de-
partment of Somerville, and re-
ceived the reply that no such named as
s'LorenM Jackson was in the directory.
This did not prove anything, but it tend
ed to show that the ''Loren M. jackson"
of the Tip Top House might be Mr..
Thurston, although it seems very i'm
probable that he would have taken an
assumed name. But yesterday the fol-
following letter was received at this
ofaoe:
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF POLICE.

that time examined the directory of 1898.
Since then have looked through the old ones

At that time he was living at So Hudson street,
Somerville; occupation carpenter; but cannot
find his name on the assessors list for tina
year Respectfully,
Sergt. OF Police.
To Portland Daily Press.
This may be regarded as tolerably con-
elusive that the stranger on Mount Wash
ington on Saturday was not Mr.. Thurs
ton.
This throws the whole matter back to
the other side of the mountain, where
Mr.. Thurston was last seen on Thursday
of last week, about p. m. At that hour
he called at the house of Mr.. Goode-
nough, which is two miles above Gorham
village and ON the other side of the An
droscoggin river. Mr.. Goodenough re-
marked Mr.. Thurston's venerable appear
ance, with the long, gray beard; and it is
probable that this Identification is cor
rect.
Where did he go after he left Goode-
nough's? The shadows were beginning
to lengthen on the mountains, and he
would naturally have crossed the river
to Gorham village whence he had come
earlier in the day. But he did not.
Mr.. R. w. Waters, Mr. Samuel Thurs
toms brother-in-law, was in town yester-
day and proceeded to Boston. He tele-
graphed the parties at Gorham, N. H.,
that they might as well give up the search
on that side of the mountain as he was
satisfied they would not find Mr..
Thurston.

CITY OF DEERING.
Hearings in Regard to East Deering
Sewers.

ga meeting of the city government
of Deering was held last evening,
for the purpose of giving
hearing in regard to the assess
ments for the East Deering sewer. This
sewer was built under the old town gov
ernmeht, and as the required formalitles
were not complied with, last winter the
legislature passed law requiring a
hearing before enforcing the assessments.
Various residents of East Deering
were heard in regard to details pertain
ing to exceptional cases. Among them
were Mr.. Batchelder, Ex-Mayor Merrill
and L. W. Dyer.
Mr.. Batchelder wished to be exempt
from the assessment because the sewer
did not extend to his property on Veran-.
dab street, and in order to enter it he
had been obliged to lay private sewer.
Ex-Mayor Merrill said that he had not
been benefited by the sewer, as he al
ready had private sewer, which he con-
structed at cost of $3.50. When the
town put in its sewer they had to tear
up portion of his, and to avoid the cost
of relaying it they connected his sewer
with the city sewer. Therefore he asked
exemption from the assessment.
Mr.. w. Fl. Smalps case was presented
by Alderman True. Mr.. Small sold,
years ago, to the town strip of his land
20 feet wide, for an entrance to a school
house. The school house has not been
there for many years, but the land still
belongs to the city. He does not wish to
pay sewer assessments on this 20 feet.
Mr.. L. w. Dyer claimed that his prop
erty was not benefited, as it already had
private sewer. He also objected to the
outfall Of the Main street sewer, which
went into Lucass creek onto sand bar.
In time nuisance would be created
there.
After the hearing, the aldermen con-
sidered the question and adjourned the
hearing to two weeks from date.
1t is thought that the sentiment of the
board is in favor of the assessments.
Notes.
Mr.. B. M. Eastman has been drawn as
grand juror for the September term of
court.
The work of laying the sewer is going
on at Woodfords Corner. A large
amount of ledge is being encountered.
Yesterday the work of opening up

his Office after his visit to Chicago, re-
ports that the meeting of the American
Historical Association was most inter
esting and successful one. The Art In

the meetings, and the people Of the city
exerted themselves by giving receptions
and other social attentions, to make the
sojourn pleasant. The gathering was
composed of eminent men, several for
eign historians participating. DR.. Ru-
dolph Cronan of Leipzig, Germany, read
an account of his explorations at Wat
ling Island and at the Tomb of Columbus
at Santo Domingo. MT. Baxter's paper

,ions az the true method Of government,
we still think that the heads OF depart

elections II that liz TO be the method OF

We believe that all the city officials,
who do not control departments with en-
plo-es q.ider them. should be elected by
popular vote. But those departments
which have a number of employees should
be controlled by commission, which
commission should be elected by vote Of
the people.
