about as much speed as an old cart

A SAD THANKSGIVING.
A Bucksport Man Drowned in Sight
of His Family.

On the morning of Thanksgiving Day,
Ernest Hartman, OF Bucksport, started
to row across the Narrows from Prospect
Ferry to the Bucksport shore. The wind
was blowing a gale, and the waters of the
Penobscnt were lashed into fury.
From his house near the shore, his aged
fat her and mother, his wife and two
children, watched the son, husband and
father as he pulled with a strong, expe-
rienced oar for the further shore. The
little skif was about half way across the
Narrows. Suddenly one of the children
exclaimed: "Look! Papa's boats upset."
The anxious watchers on the shore saw
the little boat swing into the trough of
the sea. In moment wave struck it
and it filled with water. When the boat
rose to the crest of the next wave Harri-
man had disappeared.
A thirteen-year-o son Of Hartman
put out to his fathers rescue in dory,
but could make no headway against the
strong wind and tide, and was obliged to
return. An attempt at rescue by men on
the other side was equally unsuccessful.
The swamped boat drifted slowly to the
Bucksport shore and lodged on the rocks
a short distance above the tannery.
When men who had followed the course
of the boat went to pick it up they were
Mortified to find the lifeless body of
Hartman hanging from the side, held in
that position by one leg, which was
caught beneath the thwarts. The face
was cut and bleeding from contact with
the cruel rocks All efforts to resuscitate
the body were unavailing.
An examination of the boat showed
that one of the iron rowlocks was un-
shipped and the suppostion is hat when
this happened and the boat broached to,
the unfortunate man went over the side
and was una BILE to eXtriCate himself. lie
was one of the most expert boatmen on
the river and his aequaintances say that
nothing but an accident could have
caused such disaster.
Hartman was thirty-siX years OF age,
and much respected as an honest, up
right, temperate citizen. He leaves a
/ widow and two children.

In the municipal court, before Judge
G. P. Dutton, yesterday, was tried the case
of +. +. Chase, of Bluehill Us. the town
of Surry-an action for damages for inju-
ries to horse on the highway.
A. w. King of Ellsworth, appeared for
plaintiff and L. B. Deasy of Bar Harbor,
for defendant
The evidence went to show that, in
May last, while Judge Chase was driving
over the Surry road, his mare was perma-
nently injured by stepping into hole
which had not been properly filled after
the removal of large rock.
The mare wrenched her ankle badly,
and had never recovered.
Judge Dutton rendered judgment for
plaintiff, placing the amount of damage
at $50.
Defendant appealed.
