Water Famine in PownaI.

The need of water was never more felt
in Pownal than at present, says the Troy
Press. The brooks and springs have
nearly all run dry, something shat never
was known by its oldest inhabitants, and
many farmers have to draw their water
for miles for household use and drive
their stock long distances to drink.

w. j. Thompson.

Word has been received here OF the
sudden death at his home in New Dover,
Ohio, Sunday morning, of William j..
Thompson. The cause was heart dis
ease. Mr.. Thompson is well remember
ed here as the organizer of the local
branch of the Ensor Remedy Company.
His duties kept him here for several
months during 1892, and brought him in
contact with most OF the prominent peo-
pie of the village, whose respect and
warm friendship he won and retained by
his active, earnest and conscientious
work, not only in behalf of the company
which he represented, but in his efforts
to reform those who were victims of
strong drink. There are many of tie
latter class who owe lifelong gratitude
to Mr.. Thompson for personal aid and
encouragement that made it possible for
them to break away from their old hab-
its. Not only his most earnest efforts
were expended in their behalf but his
private funds as well. 1t was a work in
which he engaged heart and soul and in
which his energies were expended in re-
storing to their families, those whose APP
petite for liquors had practically untitled
them for usefulness. He was engaged in
the work of establishing Ensor Institutes
for about two and one.half years, return
ing this summer to his farm, where his
death occurred. He established several
Institutes in the West, and in Maine,
Vermont, Massachusetts and New York.
He was about thirtY.nine years of age.

Her People Went Down.
CITY OF MEXICO June 3-Of all the
passengers and crew OF the Inflated Co
lima ut this writing but twenty-seven are
known to have been saved. This is au-
thoritative. They were all picked up
from pieces OF wreckage or RATS, and
many were badly bruised. The vessel
went down in a storm that threw her on
her beam ends, and then before any one
could take measures for safety over
whelmed her and down she went. All
the women and children went down with
her, and their bodies strewed the ocean
round about and were seen by scores by
those fortunate enough to have gotten
hold of something that would keep them
afloat.
This is the story of John NJ. Thornton,
one of the saved. He lost a wife and sis.
ter-in-law in the wreck, and with a sailor
managed to get on a raft which they
made themselves. They hoated toward
shore, but just before reaching land were
picked up by the San Juan. having been
in the water and ON the raft twenty two
hours. 1t Is stated by some of the saved
that the vessel had heavy deck load of
lumber which shifted and listed her hours
before she went over on her beam ends,
jettison the lumber. From advices at
hand it would seem that the vessel might
have been saved if this had been done.
The exact number of lost is not known,
but is stated at from $50 to 49,
