There is most ingenious weather vane
on exhibition at Tillson's wharf in the
shape of a steamboat somewhat resem-
bling the old Katahdin, but said by some
to be a representation of the Bangor, the
first boat ever run between Boston and
Bangor, which when the wind blows runs
the walking beam, machinery and paddle
wheels, as if by steam power. 1t is pref
tily painted and is an admirable piece of
work. 1t was made by st. George man
whose name could not be learned. Roc =

Homer. All OF these, excepting the first
named, are now dead. In recent years
the Katahdin has been commanded by
Capt. Marcus r. Pierce, now of the Pc
nobscot, and Capt Otis Ingraham, the
present master Of the new City Of Bangor.
During the past ten years several steam
ers have been burned a. Houghs neck
The first one taken there was the old
man Of war Niagara, which once did ser
vice at the navy yard as receiving ship.
In 1891 the Brooklyn, which was one Of
Farragut's fleet at Mobile was burned,
and in 1892 the old man Of war Wyoming,
and the Galena, the government vessel
that the previous winter had run ashore
on Gay head, were destroyed Last year
the old propeller steamers Of the Halifax
line, the Worcester and Carroll, were
burned. A few years ago the famous old
Plymouth Rock, once owned by jim Fisk
and run on the sound and afterward used
as an excursion boat from Boston, was
broken up there.
These vessels are not wholly obliterated
from memory, for substantial relics Of
some of them are still preserved at
Houghs neck. In little cove under the
brow Of Great hill there is an interesting
group of summer cottages built Of por-
lions OF these old steamers. Standing
side by side is the pilot house of the Ply
mouth Rock and the pilot house Of the
Carroll. Back Of the Plymouth Rock pilot
house is the pilot house Of the Worcester,
to which has been added another story
and a tower. Still further back is the
forward cabin Of the Plymouth Rock,
which is now adorned with pitched roof
and painted in yellow and red. The
berths and state rooms are left intact and
provide the sleeping accommodations for
the people who occupy the unique cottage.
Portions Of the old steamers are also to
be found worked into many of the other
cottages in the village. The signs taken
from the pilot houses of the Forest City
and Katahdin are now displayed IN two
houses at the cove.

CHARGING THE GRAND JURY TO
INVESTIGATE ELECTIONS.
A BOY sUsTAINs PROBABLY FA-
tai INJURIES - THE BAPTIST
BOARD TO MEET GEORGE CLARK
ON THE INCOME TAX DECISION
GETTING READY FOR MAY DAY.

Waco, Tex, April s.-Mueh interest
has been manifested in the special ses-
sion OF the grand jury to-day to inves-
tlgate the city election Of last Tuesday
The prominence OF number of parties
under discussion involved in fraudulent
practices creates much interest In the
investigation to be made. Judge $. X,
Scott in charging the jury. said that
while he would not undertake to say
that violations Of the law had occurred
yet it was commonly understood that
such was the case.
That elections should be carried on
honestly and fairly. and that whenever
il becomes possible Tor an election to
be managed coruply and By the in
nuence of money or other corrupt
means SO that an honest expression OF
the voters cannot be obtained, it shows
u degeneration In the usefulness Of
government. That whenever a gov
eminent gets so weak that it cannot
protect Its citizens In the exercise Of
their suffrage 1t is only matter OF
time when 1t would become too weak
TO protect them In the exercise Of any
other right
lie said our legislators had thrown
every safeguard around elections, but
that the enforcement OF the laws they
had made was as necessary as the
laws themselves.
That II was currently reported that
Ia the LAKE election here money was
handled recklessly, that men had sold
their votes Tor from 90 cents to 81 or
more, and some had waited until late
ifiI In HfaF
good prices for their votes.
That wncn We gel In such condition
| that we have TO confess the existence
OF such a state of affairs we are In a
deplorablu condition, indeed.
He insisted that such violations OF
the law should not go unpublished, and
that in their investigation OF the mat
ter the grand jury should rise above
any personal feelings and have no re-
gurd for the standing of the parties
involved, II man who stands Well
IN the community had been guilty OF
such otfense5 his punishment should
