Bishop Hea1y Much Better.

Bishop Healy is rapidly recovering his
health again. He is able to drive out,
and to give his personal attention to
important matters OF business. His con-
dirion is better than for some time past.
and his clergy once more are confident
that he will be able to resume his epis
copal duties again. AS he is still +
from being.an old man, thers seems to be
no reason why he may not be able to
give his personal attention to the affairs
of his diocese for many years to come.
The change for the better in his condi-
ton has been gradual, and he will, of
course be unable to work as of old with
out taking thought of his health, but
with prudent attention to such things
there seems to be every reason to look
or his complete recovery.

THEY COULDN'T RAISE HER.
The scows Ajax and Ripple Failed to Raise
the Amy Hanson at Bar Harbor-An Ex-
pensive Enterprise-Lost Their Gear.

1t will be remembered that Captain Philip
Doyen of the scow Ajax of this port, the
largest scow afioat. left here some time ago
with the Ajax and the Ripple, to go down
to Egg Rock, near Bar Harbor, and attempt
tosrise the sunken schooner Amy Hanson of
Boston A Mr. Higgins of Bath was associ-
ated with him in the enterprise. which if
successful would be very profitable. as they
bought the vessel for a song. She is one
hundred ton fisherman. cost ST., 900 and is
only ten years old. Us
She struck ledge near Egg Rock during
a storm and the crew left in the boats,
deserving the captain, who would not leave
the vessel, as he hoped to beach her. While
alone. he got half way across the channel
between Egg Rock and Bar Harbor. which
is three or four miles wide. Had the crew
remained they could have kept her afoat
with the pumps till she could be beached in
shoal water and saved. But she sank in
about one hundred feet of water. No Bos-
ton wreckers would undertake to raise her.
Finally Captain Doyen and Mr. Higgins
resolved 10 try it. with the Ajax and Ripple.
The two scows left here the 18th of last
month Yesterday word was received in
this city that they had twice attempted to
raise the vessel and had failed. losing the
two great spars which were placed across
the two scows, and to which were fastened
the chains that the diver had placed under
the hull of the sunken craft.
The latter did not say just how the spal
were lost. but probably when the great
strain of rising tide was brought to bear up
on the scow, the sunken schooner could not
be lifted, something had to give way and
the spars broke The crash must have been
tremendous. The spars were worth SIS or
S1C0 apiece.
The loss involved in this undertaking
must have been at least $500 or $780, as be-
sides the loss of valuable gear the expense
was very heavy
Captain Doyen will remain on the scene of
the wreck in the employ of other parties,
who will make another attempt to raise the
vessel They will employ Line Rustic, for
merly of this city, who has quite reputa-
ton as diver in deep water and who once
brought up some anchors and chains off
Richmond's island In one hundred feet of
water. will be employed to do the diving.

One Of the Problems Arising From the
Break in the Water Main Opposite City
Hall

The Portland Water Company have
lust completed troublesome task I'M
posed upon them by the break in the
Congress street water main few days
ago. The PRESSES press room was not
the only place where inconvenience was
suffered. The great flow OF water from
the break swept large quantities of
gravel into the Exchange street sewer, SO
as to choke it badly. 1t is quite prob
lem to get lot of gravel, mingled with
stone, some paving stones even being
found out of sewer several feet under
ground and TOO small to allow men to
work in it. The method used by the
workmen of the water company was
very ingenious. They did not attempt
TO dig OUT the gravel along the length
of the sewer; but going down Exchange
street to point not far from Middle,
they dug down to the sewer in two or
three places, and made two or three
holes in the top OF the brick sewer. At
the first OF these holes the sewer was
nlugged SO as to stop whatever gravel
