BETTER. LATE THAN NEVER.
Eastport People Are to Receive the Re-
lief Fund.

Machias, October 10-The famous case
of the distribution of the relief fund for
the sufferers by the great fire of 1886 in
Eastport, over which there has been SO
much controversy in and out of the courts
since the fire, has at last been settled.
and at this term of the Washington
county Supreme court in Machias, the
money was divided among those having
lust claims, and checks for the required
amounts turned over to the attorneys
presenting their claims.
The amount involved was some $50, 600,
with the addition of the amount received
from the sale of the relief building on
Fort Hill This was large three story
structure, and was built at cost of $4,000
from money secured from the sympa-
thizers of the sufferers, and together
with the balance of the money left over,
was converted to the resources of East
port, to be used as a poor fund.
After some eight or ten years, few OF
the citizens got together, and placed the
matter in the hands of attorneys. and
called for a different distribution Of the
funds. with the result mentioned, SO
that the bank account of the city of East
port has been depleted somo 1913, 900 or
1924, 600, while the poor people get the
benefit.
The distribution of this money among
the people of Eastport, many of whom
are poor people, employed in the sardine
factories, will be a good thing, now that
the permanent closing of the factories
seems to be the ultimate result of the re-
cent strike.

C. S. Smith says not all the Good Gez

G. 6. ticket.
1t was learned during the afternoon
that the. Good Government members OF
the COMMITTEES of Fifty sent in their
resignation to that body They are r. Il.
Cutting, II. r. Cutting, Fl. R. Kun
hardt, A. NJ Brisse, j. W. Pryor and
l.. I. Callahan. They will support the
Good Governemnt Club ticket.
1t is not expected that the Conmlttee
of Fifty or the executive committee villa
open any political headquarters, but VIII
hold such meetings as may be necessary
in the rooms of the chamber OF COM
merce. In this respect their procedure
will differ little from that of last year.
This year, however. as member OF the
committee explained this morning, the
committee had no distinct ticket OF Its
own, but has simply endorsed fusion
ticket made up by the Republicans and
the state Democracy, and the active
conduct of the campaign will be left to
those organizations.
The Committee of Fifty, however, will
contribute some of the sinews OF war
to both of these parties to help defray the
expenses of the fusion campaign against
Tammany Hall. Already several thou
sand dollars have been subscribed for that
purpose by members of the Committee
Of Fifty.
Besides contributing money for expens-
es, the Committee of Fifty will probably
arrange and hold two or three mass meet
ings at which appeals will be made to
voters to support the fusion ticket, and
they will also distribute some campaign
literature.
