The ice yacht "West Side," owned by
members of the Nicolin club, is being re-
built and enlarged by Edward Jordan.
To say the yacht is being rebuilt hardly
covers it; all that remains Of the old boat
are the skates and the name. The new
boat is larger and of lighter construction
than the old boat. She is expected to be
a flyer. Heretofore w. R. Parkers "Else"
has held the championship of the Branch
pond fleet Of yachts, but this year the
"West Side" is after the "Elsie's" scalp.
The "Elsie'' has also been somew hat
altered and lightened this year. j. w.
Nealley's boat and the "Elsie" are already
sailing.
The official report of the State railroad
commissioners states that the portion of
the Maine Central from Bangor to Mt.
Desert Ferry has been well cared for.
Though the rails are of light weight they
are Of good quality of steel and stand up
well. The commissioners further report
that the rolling stock of the Maine
Central, especially that in use on the
main line, is first -cass in every respect.
Six large freight engines have been
added, six saloon cars and las fiat cars.
All the rolling stock is in good condition.
The station buildings throughout the
entire system are we'll designed for COM
fort and convenience and maintained in
good condition.
The bark "Viora II. Hopkins" Capt
Samuel l.. Lord, of Ellsworth, bound
from Portland for Buenos Ayres with a
cargo of lumber, struck on Alden's reef
short distance outside of Portland har
Dor, Monday morning. The accident was
caused by mistaking the buoy, which has
lately been changed in character, and at
the time was so covered by ice that the
color was indiscernible. The schooner
knocked a hole in her bow and filled. The
Iife-saving crew went out to her prepared
to render aid, but the weather being calm
the vessel was in no immediate danger.
she was toweo back to port by the revenue
cutter in the afternoon. Her cargo will
be discharged, and she will be docked for

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE WOMAN'S CLUB.
Business and Professional Morality
Discussed-Interesting Papers.

Business and Professional Morality
iscussed-Interesting Papers.
The Woman's club met on Saturday
afternoon, Dec. s, at the residence of Mrs
]. d. Hopkins.
The programme opened with vocal
duet by Misses Georgia Trip and Georgia
Hastings which was much enjoyed.
The leading paper for the afternoon
was necessarily omitted, but Mrs. f. K.
Hopkins kindly consented to read a paper
on "Morality in Business and the Pro-
fessions." Mrs. Hopkins dwelt on the
lax manner of conducting business, say
ing that business men will confess, with
out shame, that to hold their own they
must resort to practices not strictly
honest.
She showed that many of the frightful
disasters on ships and the railroad
accidents that are so appalling are due to
dishonesty either of the corporations who
do not employ sufficient force to carry on
the work, on the part Of unfalthful en-
ployees or, still farther back on the part
Of manufacturers who do not send out
work done on honor from ship-yardS or
car-shops.
In closing Mrs. Hopkins suggested
that a great deal of the trouble begins
by praising the small boy for being
"smart' when that smartness consists in
outstripping his comrades by methods
that he knows are not honest, and said
that the best motto for the business and
professional men and women of to-day is
the time honored advice given by Pol
onius to MS son:
ITO thine own self be true
And it must follow the night the day
Thou can7t not then he false to any man.
As substitute for another absent
member, Mrs. j. a. Peters, jr., read &
character sketch of Lady Henry Somer. ct
touching upon her early life, her
marriage her career as a woman of the
world and of fashion, and finally her con-
nection with he reforms of the day.
Miss NJ. \. Greedy gave the Current
Events speaking of the work of the
college settlements from the establish
ment of he first one in New York until
the present time.
The club adjourned TO meet with Mrs.
Pearl Day. Dec. 29.

COULDN'T RAISE HER.
The "Amy Hanson' Still Lies at the
Bottom of the Sea.


Bottom of the Sea.
The wrecking crew from Bangor who
have been at work several weeks trying to
raise the schooner "Amy Hanson" which
sank off Bar Harbor Oct. %, have been un-
successful.
Two attempts have been made to raise
the schooner, but each failed, the two
great spars which We're placed across the
scows to support the vessel, breaking
with the strain put upon them with the
rising tide. The spars alone were worth
about SIS each.
1t is estimated that the wreclling crew
has lost about $500 in the undertaking, as
besides the loss of valuable gear, the ex-
penses have been heavy. Another
company will attempt to raise the vessel.

The Northwest Fair.

The TINES MoUNTAISEER is IN receipt
of prospectus of the Northwest Inter-
state fair, beautifully illustrated, and
which will be held in Tacoma from Aug
ust 18th to November 1st. The following
is an excerpt from the prospectus regard
ing the fair:
"The Northwest Interstate fair, to be
held at the city of Tacoma during the
summer and fall of 1894, and which pur-
poses TO present to the world combined
exhibit of the natural and industrial re-
sources of the six following common
wealths, to-wit; Menta u aIdaho, Oregon,
Washington, Alaska and British Colum-
bia, will be an exhibit of special features
that have not heretofore been similarly
presented In any country, and will be
such as will attract general attention of
the public. Such an exhibit will not
only present to the mind of all visitors
some knowledge of our resources, their
extent and location, but will bring to
their realization the opportunity whic b
they now have to become possessed OF the
source of such resources, either by leca-
ton, entry or purchase.
"a fair representing special portion
of country Is of equal value to that
particular locality, with those which en-
brace nation or the world. 1t has been
repeatedly proved that an exhibit repre-
senting special portion of country,
calling and inviting the world to witness
1t, has accomplished more good directly
and indirectly for that special section of
the country than a national or worlds
fair exhibit. The reason Is apparent to
any one."

b,a river for about thirty years. died sud-
denly at Grant last Saturday night. He
was managing lodging rooms in that town.
and had promised to wake commercial

fulfilling his promise the people went to his
room aud found him dead on the floor. He
had awakened, dressed himself. and appar
emily whl'e holding q lamp in his hand had
fallen into the deathlv swoon, from which
he never rallied. The carpet had been
burned by the lamp. and his right hand was
also blistered. he was aged about IS years,
and had been connected with boats on the
upper river until the last few years when

knew him for his generous dispositi on and
his many kind acts. he was well acquainted
with navigation of the upper Columbia from
the days of the o. s. N. Co. to the present
time, and was walking encyclopaedia Of
information regarding the history Of this

ANOTHER ATTEMPT.
One Highwayman Less.

STOCKTON, Cal. !, May 19--Two masked
men made an attempt to hold up the
Murphy's stage this morning Is miles
above Milton The robbers did not suc-.
coed in stopping the stage, as the horses
were going at a lively gait when the COM
mand to halt was given. A robber stood
on each side of the road and Messenger
Hendricks. who was on the seat of the
stage, dropped one Of them, letting him
have both barrels of his shotgun loaded
with buckshot. At the same time Hen
bricks fired, both robbers also shot, one
of them dropping dead as the result of
Hendricks fire, and the survivor fred
again at the moving stage, and seriously
wounded Miss Ella Bray, young lady
passenge from Stockton, and 8. 81. Hume,
of Murphy's. another passenger. Miss
Bray was shot through the head and may
not recover. She was lett in care of peo-
pie who live near the scene of the at
tempted bold-up. Mr.. Hume, of Mnr-
phys, was wounded ID the shoulder, but
his hurt is not serious. He went to stock
ton for medical treatment. The dead
robbers body was riddied with buckshot
and he dropped in his tracks. He was
about 35 years old. 6 feet tall, light com
plexiou and weighed about 1S0 pounds.
His companion lost bis hat 10 his haste
to escape. and will probably be captured.
as he has but little start of his pursuers.
A though no one knows the robbers,
they were recognized as gamblers who
had been hanging about Angels Camp
for the past three weeks.

ReIieyers In Anarchy.

WASHINGTON, May 19-It is virtually
admitted at the state department that
information relating to French anarchists
hes been received, and it is plainly intir
mated that4ntormatlon of q similar char
acter has also been secured from other
nations besides France. No authoritative
statement can be obtained as to whether
the initiative in this matter was taken by
the United States or by European coun-
tries, but the indications are all to the
effect that American diplomatic represen-
ta,ives abroad were directed some time
ago to convey an expression of the will
ingness of this government to exchange
information relative to the movements OF
anarchists, and that all European nations
have shown disposition to extend to the
United States the system of exchange
which has been successful in operation in
Europe. 1t Is understood that the resi-
dences of all anarchists, whether living
at home or abroad, will be made known
by each foreign government entering
into this reciprocal arrangement.

RsiIroad changes.

Railroad men on the Union Pacific are
contemplating favorable change in the
train schedule. 1t seems that the officials
in Omaha are seriously considering the
sivisibility of putting on again passen-
ger trains No. and No. s, making two
trains each way through The Dalles. The
new train will consist of fast engine,
mail, baggage, express and one sleeping
cars, and will make extra quick time be-
tween Omaha and Portland. This Ii to
retain the mail contract as now drawn,
the present mail being too slow 70 suit
the pestoffice department. This move, If
made, may be taken as evidence of reviv-
ing business; and indeed, that the efii-
cials are now canvassing the matter IL
proof Of Improvement already begun in
the volume. of business. The fast mail
tram will stop only at certain stations,
this city, Of course, being one Of them.

A Holocaust In mcM,unvllle.

McMINNvrLLE, May % The residence
of NJ Shadden. one of the oldest and
mos. respected citizens in the commun-
ity, was burned at midnight. Mrs. Shad-
den's 10 year-old daughter perished In
the flames, and Mr.. Shadden's youngest
sou, boy OF 8. received fatal inluries.
Mrs. Martha Shadden, 80 years OF age,
and pioneer OF 1s4s. and her blind son
Riley were taken from the burning build
ing naked. It Is feared the aged women
will not survive the shock. Mr.. and
Mrs. Sbadden barely escaped with their
lives. It was the: mest horrible holo-
caust ever known in this section of the
state, and the town is almost in a frenzy
of excitement The burned building
was large frame structure, situated near
the center of the city, and was said to be
the first residence erected in McMinn-
Vile. Il was burned to the ground. The e
residence of Judge Galloway, situated
lust across the street, was only saved af.
ter hard fight. The fire was discovered
few minutes after midnight, by pass
or BY, who at once aroused the sleeping
family. Mr.. Shadden was fret aroused,
and by the time he had carried his wife
into the open air, the entire Building was
In flames. Single handed be fought them
back while he secured his aged mother
and blind brother. An effort was made
to secure the boy who slept on the aec-
end floor. The poor little fellow wai
badly burned, and In bis agony jumped
into the street. The parbo:led fest
across his abdomen was BURT open, snd
bis bowels gushed forth. In his suffer.
ing and pain, be begged those around
him to kill him. Skillful surgeons die
all they could to relieve his awful suf
ferings. At late hour be Is still liv
ing, out the surgeons say his death Is
certainty.

Removing q Bridge.

There haye been many kinds Of larceny
known to the statute. but we do not believe
that stealing bridge has ever been known
to Jurisprudence. Yesterday . case Of this
kind happened on the upper road leading
from this city to Floyds and Cushlng's.
There are two county roads, little distance
from each other, on this route, and efforts
have been made to condemn the upper one
bot they have been fruitless. Yesterday.
the parties interested, in. the lower road
hired large force of Cinnamon, 90 We are
informed, and hauled away the timbers Of
the bridge beyond Three Mile creek, on tho
upper highway. and put them in position
over gulch near the same place on the
lower one. If the matter had been known
an injunction would have been issued. but
the work was complete before it was made
public. We do not know what action will
be taken in the matter by the county court.

Americans Killed In Mexico.

CHICAGO, May 21-A special to the
Times from Hermosillo, Mexico, says
three American mining engineers named
Chris Winton, Ludwig Holdman and P.
N. Left, all well known in Southern and
western Mexico, left the town of Arispi,
northwest OF here, in this state, about 10
days ago for an overland journey across
the Sierra Madre mountains to the vii I.
iage OF Guaynoplta, in the western part
OF the state of chihuahua. A rich find
of gold was recently reported there. The
Americans were advised of the dangerous
nature of the country through which
they mus. pass, and were urged not to
make the trip. This advice was not
needed. and word has just been received
here that ther mutilaied bsdies have
been found In ravlne near tn. village
of Nacory. 1t is supposed they were
killed BY marauding Yaqu Indians for
the purpose of robbery.
