Tug Joe Baker Swept by the Waves at the
Mouth of Saco River.

Saco. April 22.-Captain Harrison Goldth-
waite considers that the tug Joe Baker
came as near going under yesterday as she
ever will. and still keep afoat.
There was big sea OF all day, and at the
mouth of the river where the swift current
and tide meet made it PAL ticularly bad
across the bar. This bar. BY the way, has
built up by the recent freshet until there is
not as much water by two fact as there was
last summer. and 1T is breaking there all the
time except on the full tide. 1t was very
rough anywhere in the bay yesterday. re-
CARELESS of the bar. The seas were lashing
the rocky coast of the Pool and the islands,
and sending the water in sheets forty-six
feet into the air and running mountain
high all around.
The rug had taken down one schooner on
the full tide and had found it nasty enough
even then. though no special trouble was
experienced on the bar. but when she came
down with the Hattie Barbour the tide had
gone out enough SO that ;here was as nasty
sea as the Baker ever struck.
When the tug was crossing the bar a big
sea combed up and came over her by the
wheel house, sweeping every thing before it
and filling the hold pretty tell up.

equally as big broke over the Jug and must
have filed her completely had not a section
of the bulwark been stove out which let the
water that had been shipped run off the
de.l instead OF filling the hold. Then there
cane third, and this time Captain Goldth-
waite says lie just made up his mind that
the Joe Baker had tuwed her last schooner.
He says it was the biggest sea he ever saw
towering over the tug just ahead with
volume oe water enough to swallow up the
tug and schooner botn.
The Red Sea parted for the Children of
Israel, and Captain Goldthwaite thinks that
old Father Neptune must have a kindly
feeling for the Joe Baker. for the mountain
of water parted jNst before the tugs bows
and she plougbed through without getting
any of it. but it closed again just astern and
broke in front of the schooner.
The schooner was light but high out of
water as she set the SEA went over her bows
and she shipped water enough TO have
swamped the Baker in addition to what he
tug had taken.
After getting over the bar the tug shad no
more serious trouble, though it was rough
enough anywhere. When. the Baker got in
to the Pool it was found that the water was
within two inches Of her furnace CRATE. but
there was no evidence that the boat had
been strained or suffered any other injuries
except the broken bulwark.

Electrics to Run Every Ten Minutes.

1t is said that when the horse railroad is
equipped with electricity that Manager
Newman will have some new ideas which
will be greatly appreciated by the public.
At the present time four cars are run at
intervals of fifteen minutes each all hour
The new order of things will call for six
cars an hour, or one every ten minutes. 1t
is thought that the system in vogue in
Massachusetts Of stopping at white post,
will he adopted. Something of this nature,
of course, must be done in order to make
connections with the car gong in the oppo-
site direction. On the Congress street line
the cars are often run on six and seven
minute time in summer. The time on this
line will also be shortened.

TAXES ON THE GOULD ESTATE
Justice Andrews, in the New York Su-
preme Court, special term, yesterday,
decided that George ]. Gould must pay
taxes on the assessment of 100000
levied by the tax commissioners. The
point is raised for the Goulds that Jay
Gould died on December 2, 1892, that
letters testamentary were not granted
to the executors until January IS,
1898, and that January 9, 1898, was the
date on which the tax commissioners
levied the assessment. The Goulds
held that as the letters testamentary
were not granted until after the assess
ment was levied, the tax should be on
the old assessment on the personal es.
tate, 100000. Justice Andrews holds,
in accordance with several former de-
cisions, that the executors have per-
sonal interest in the estate from the
moment of death of the testator, aud
that this interest is not withheld until
after the letters testamentary have
been issued.

From Nicaragua.

MANAGUA. Nicaragua, April 90
The government has assurances that it
will receive from voluntary subscrip-
tons more than enough to pay the
British claim within the time allowed
by the ultimatum. There is strong
feeling among the people against acced-
ing too quickly to Great Britain's de-
mand. The money was offered by
Leon City and the government seemed
ready to accept it and pay the claim,
but was deferred by the feeling that if
it should seem too ready to obey Eng
land it would cause serious information
al trouble. There is great excitement
here. Two thousand men are ready
to march to Corinto at a moments no.
tice.
LONDON, April 26.-The Westmin.
lister Gazette asserts that the enforce
ment of the British demand upon Mic.

tanned at the Foreign Office.

Archbishon Kenrlck,s Will.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, April 26.-Coadjutor
Archbishop Kaiu stated last night that
Archbishop Kenrick some years ago ex-
ecuted will in duplicate, one being in
his possession and the other in the pos.
session of Archbishop Hennessy, of Du-
buque. AS Archbishop Kenrick is now,
by reason of advanced age, incapable
of devising property held in his name,
the existence of these wills in duplicate
sets at rest the recent speculation con-
corning the legal disposition of over
S1,000,000 worth of property held in
trust for the church.
