A PAINFUL RUMoR.
The Strange Way in Which the Friends of

Of

The Strange Way in Which the Friends of
Mr.. William j. knight Were Plunged In
Grief.
The friends of Mr.. William j. Knight
of the office of the Portland Gas compa-
ny, will be pleased to learn that there
is no truth in the painful rumor of his
death, which was circulated Saturday.
This rumor arose in strange way.
Mr.. Knight has been in Eoor health for
some time, and not long ago went to
New Jersey for relief His mother ac-
companied him. Recently they have re-
turned to Chelsea, Mass.
Saturday morning Mr.. S. L. Knight, the
father, who has remained in this city,
received aletter from his wife, On the
end of this letter was a postscript saying
that William was dead. Mr.. Knight at
once made arrangement with an under
taker here, and relegraphed to his wife
asking if he should come. All the friends
OF the young man in this city were in
formed, and there was general grief
among them.
But sometime during the day Mr..
Knight was astounded to receive from
his son telegram saying that he was
better.
1t is quite propable that he may have
been suffering from fainting or severe
ill turn when the postscript was added to
the letter, and that in the subsequent
exaeting duties of caring for her son,
MIS-. Knight forgot about the postscript.

Il know where you got that verse"
said an old fisherman Friday referring
to quotation from Whittier in the
PRESS the day after the storm:
From gray sea-fog, from icy drift,
From peril and from pain,
The home bound fisher greets thy lights,
y hundred-harbored Maine.n
II got that PIECE by heart when I first
saw it. " GU see it kinder made it seem
th' more home-like to me as it worked
in TIL old names, an then you see I've
talked with men who'd seen that same
ship. I made one woman MAIDS halter
by saying them lines over to herr and
the ancient fisherman laughed as he re-
peated:
shake, brown old wives, with dreary
Your gray-head hints of i'll;
And, over sick-beds whispering low,
Your prophecies fulfil.
Some home amid you birchen trees
Shall drape its door with woe;
And slowly where the dead ship sails;
The burial boat shall row."
"Said she THAT jist the same cap'n us
sayin' I'd kill man if I'D said he
couldn't get well an he was a comm
round all right, an if you say that
cap'n PIl Lave th' law on ye.' Says
That's not the way to look at it. What
Whittier meant was jist this. You go to
sick room an you go about whispering
an shaking your head, an getting
into corners together, an the sick man
feels he's sent for, an that there's moth
ing proper for him to do but to die, an
die it is. That's what I said to her amt
that's what ] stand by. More people
have been scarf to death than have died
most any other way."l
Did you ever see the dead ship OF
Harpswell captain?"
II never did, but I've seen men that
had. Old Tim Dyer was one. He saw
thu dead ship one night and it moved his
spirits greatly. You see it was when he
was past so, an he sort'r felt that it was
IL call for him, but it wasn't no such
thing for he fingered on for ten year an
more. He was out fishin' one day an it
was late before ne started to come in.
He was rowing his best for he was get
tina sharp set an anxious like to get in.
All at once he lifted his head an there
was the dead ship of Harpswell sailing
along peaceful like an maxim no trouble
for anybody. I asked Tim how he
knowed it was the dead ship, am he
said there wasn't sonl on broad. No
body was at the wheel, an there wasn't
a bit of a sign Of life bout her. Tim
was proper scarf and rowed for shore as
fast as he could"

Acc ording to Captain Burns of the
schooner Edith M. Thompson, the people
of Matinicus Isle plantation are not
finding the lobster business very good
this season despite the high price. Cap
tain Burns says that there is very
widely INDUCED in error regarding
Matinicus. From the water in any di-
rection there is an appearance of storm
resisting rock, while as matter of fact
ba OK from the shore short distance are
beautiful, well cultivated and very pro-
ductive farms. The people not only
grow vegetables enough for their own
use, but send much of their produce to
Rocklund and other points.
This year while lopsters are very high,
they are few in bumber. Last year the
60nmen who are engaged in the work of
taking Holsters were making good
money. A man with say 200 straps"
would take at "haul" on an average
from 120 to 200 "count" Holsters, hut
this year the same number of straps"
| will not yield on an average more than
from 20 to so. Captain Burns thinks
that the high prices paid this year will
not make good what the lobster men will
| lose by reason of the scarcity oil Holsters
AS a rule people of Matinicus are well to
| do and many of them could live if they
chose to do so on the interest of the
money they have saved from their bust
ness of lobster taking.

NOTICE.

-
For some time past the duties
of my profession have occupied
my entire time, and Mr.. Lawson
has practically done allthe editor
ial work on the TRIBUNE. I feel
that it is my duty to withdraw
from the nominal position as edi-
tor, and leave the credit as well
as the responsibilities to Mr..
lawson. Ishall, however, from
time to time as leisure permits
write articles for the TRIBUNE on
the leading questions of the day.
I bespeak for Mr.. Lawson the &C
tive assistance from contributors
all over the county. I hope our
young and able men of the reform
party will step to the front, and
carry on the campaign for good
government and pure politics.

MELROSE'S BOOM.


The day set for the. removal of
the Great Northern division from
St. Cloud to Melrose is Sept. 1st.
The railway company is putting
in a 25-stall round house and the
yards will contain about 10 miles
of track. About 200 men are at
work On the new division, with
wages at $50 per d;.y.-A stock
company has been organized to
build a $4,000 hotel and work is
to Recommended at once. About
% new dwellings have been built
and are now ready to be occupied.
General Manager Warren. OF the
Great Northern, wrote to John
HOeschen to have s. new houses
put up at once, as the company
wants room for their men when
they move there, and steps have
been taken to comply with the
companys. wishes. The mer.
chants and residents of St. Clond
are extremely sorry to lose the
division, as it will materially af

THATSCHOOL MEETING QUESTION

THATsCHooL MEETING QUESTION.
The law pertaining to the cleo.
ton of school officers is full Of
Inconsistencies. 1t says that
they must be elected by ballot,
that the polls must remain open
one hour, and that a person must
receive a majority of all votes
cast in order to be elected. Now
suppose the polls are closed and
no candidate has received ma
jority of votes. The result would
be that there would be no elec-
ton. This might go on from
year to year and each annual
meeting there would be no cleo
ton. Another question arises.
is the law requiring the polls to
remain open applicable to indie
pendent and special districts?
Would it not be d good plan for
the next Legislature to give us Il
clearcut statute upon the cleo
ton of school officers Kandiyo-
hi Teacher. -:
The polls should certainly re-
main open an hour in all districts
and thus prevent packing" the
meeting. The: law concerning
elections does not require ma
jority vote and the candidates re-
ceiving the highest number of
votes should BE declared elected.
When officers in an Independent
district are to be elected nomi-
nate candidates for each of the
terms e years, 2 years, l year,
and count the election in the same
manner. We believe this will

Representative Pitney, who sits next to
~Loudenslager, has the desk which Will
liam Walter Phelps used to occupy. The
two seats are in the very front row, i'm
mediately under Speaker Reeds eye.
I'VE have got to be good boys now"
says L~oudenslager, "or the schoolmaster
may send us home.'
William r.. Browning of Camden ar
rived here yesterday to take the office
of chief clerk of the House. He is the
ex-Postmaster of Camden and a personal
friend of Representative Loudenslager,
who secured the place for him. The New

tion of Mcdowell and Glenn for clerk and
doorkeeper, and it is now beginning to
reap the reward.

THE ToFFEYs AND THE LEAGUE
white Robes Peace Between h
Rival Republican Factions.

The Hudson County League of Republican
Clubs held a regular monthly meeting last
night in the rooms of the Wanser Club,
Grand street and C~ommunipaw avenue. A
communication wasreceived from Governor
elect Griggs thanking the League for the
congratulatory letter it sent him.. The COM
mittee appointed to make arrangements for
participating in the Inauguration day parade
at Trenton reported that it had appointed a
committee on transportation. All other ar
rangements are complete.
The committee appointed to wait upon
Sheriff Toffey to ascertain what the John j.
Tofey Association was going to do regard
ing the celebration, reported that Mr.. Toffey
said the association was going under the pam
ner of the League if invited.
The John ]. Toffey Association, it is
claimed by the Sheriff, is a strictly social,
non-partisan association, and for that reason
will make no special arrangement for attend
ing the inauguration, and the members will
merely attend as individuals.
The League decided to invite the Tofeys
to join it.
