A TIMELY RESCUE.
The Crew of the Schooner
Lawrence J. Allen of Bath
Taken Of When Schooner's Deck
Was Level With the Sea,
And Enormous Waves We're Making Clean
Sweep Over The Vessel.

New York. Feb. 2l.--The bark Butte
shire, from Cork, reports that on Feb. IL,
at A. NJ, she sighted n wreck. She
bore down upon 1t and took off 10 of the
crew, including the captains wife. The
wrecked vessel proved to be the schooner
Lawrence J. Allen of Bath, Me-, Apa-
lachicola for Philadelphia.
The wreck was sighted about four miles
to lccward with nothing standing but part
of the mizzenmast. The Buteshire re
mained in the vicinity of the wreck,
working to secure position to windward,
and finally got within two miles Of the
wreck
The lifeboat was lowered and the
mate with four men rowed through the
dangerous seas to the distressed people,
who could be seen clinging and standing
on the after house. The forward part of
the wreck was level with the water and
the seas were breaking over them, bury
ing the unfortunates with every wave. 1t
looked impossible for anyone to live on
board. The lifeboat managed to return
safely with the 10 unfcrtunates.
Captain Eastman, of the wrecked
schooner, says I'VE left Apalachicola.
Jan. 81, for Philadelphia, with cargo of
yellow pine lumber. In lat 21.05 long.
20. 45, Jan. 81, we encountered heavy gale,
lasting eight hours, the vessel laborng
heavily On Feb. 9, the vessel ran into
another heavy gale lasting seven hours.
The vessel pitched and laborcd heavily,
straining leak which soon became
alarming, the pumps making 400 strokes
an hour.
ION the morning of the 9th, another
gale set in, increasing to hurricane. The
Allen scudded under bare poles for
several hours. Heavy seas continued to-
strain the vessel and increasing the in
take of water. At 9 p. NJ, the wind blew
with frightful violence and there were
enormous seas The vessel was full of
water The dcckload was thrown into
the sea to tighten her, but without effect.
"Tbe sea made complete breaches over
the vessel, continually flooding her fore
and aft, and rendering her waterlogged.
The vessel was just awash, the aftcrhouse
being the only part above water. The
crew was exhausted with their labor ut
the pumps. On the lth the Buteshire
rescued us. We were out of provisions
and for four days and our rescue was
most timely"

Prices are Low.
(Hallowcll News. }

There Is the usual discussion about the
capitol in relation to the State printing.
1t appears that Burleigh & Flynt are do
ing the work at the low prices established
by the fusionists, and lower than private
printing offices are doing such work. 1t
cost something to keep up such an cstab-
lishment as the Journal Office for two
years and to employ such skilled labor as
this firm has kept upon the States work
The prices they receive are far below those
paid by the adjoining state Of New Hamp-
shire, and, in fact. all the other New
England states. 1t is of very great i'm
portance to the State to have plant at
the capital capable of doing this work,
and any move to destroy the only such
plant that is or ever has been there,
would be very short sighted policy.

STATE PRINTING.
Low Prices for Printing.
MAINE Farmer. }

After receiving bids from several re
sponsible parties, and giving to them u
most careful and painstakiug considcra-
tion, the legislative committee ON State
printing and binding have decided in IA
vor of awarding the contract for the
printing TO Mcssrs Burleigh & Flynt and
for the binding to Messrs. Smith * Reid
of Augusta. These gentlemen have for
several years done the work The only
mistake made by the committee was in
inviting proposals from printers and bind
ers throughout the State. While the
capitol is at Augusta, the work must be
done at Augusta. What the Legislature
wants is not n contract, but the work
turned out promptly and in good shape.
No level-headed printer would think of
removing his printing establishment here
from a distant city for the sake of a two
years contract to do the State printing.
The wonder is that the Journal folks,
with all the special fittings and force
needed, are able to take the contract at
the present low figures.

The Lowest Possible Figures consistent With
The Standard Of Work Required.
(Wateryille Sentinel J

The press of the State are rallying to
the support of the Kennebec Journal on
the question of the State printing and are
printing is being done at the lowest pos
sible figures consistent with the standard
of work required and any transfer of the
contract would be injurious to the State S
interest. Many of the writers for the
public press are expert printers who have
worked their way from the position of
gay and grimy devil to the editorial
chair and are certainly qualified to judge
in the matter, and their advice should Ger
tainly be gravely considered by the law
makers on the subject of printing at least.
The Lewiston Journal in this connection
voices the sentiments of Maine's expert
printers upon subject which has proved
q thorn in their side or many years and
in which every employing printer, who
has himself spent many years among the
job cases and over cylinder or job press
will heartily concur. The Journal says:
For example, the prices of certain
classes of printing in New England have
been reduced beyond reason by the EN-
ploymcnt of apprentices getting very low
wages This is an issue which has a
bearing on economy, since cheap and un-
skilled labor is the most expensive labor
when undertaking to do the work that, to
be properly done takes expert men. The
search for cheapness is ovcrdone when it
is done at the expense of the standard of
life as we have found ont in the past two
years in this country

First Glass Work.
(Piscataquis Observer }

At every legislative session parties out.
side of Augusta appear at the capitol
who are anxious to get the State printing
away from the Kcnnebcc journal, which
for many years, has done the work to the
entire satisfaction OF the State. The
prices received by the Journal proprietors
since 1879 are precisely the same rs the
reform Fusion Legislature established
that year, and are considerably lower than
the prices in vogue in most of the other
states of the Union. 1t is case where
the State gets first class returns Tor its
money at the present time, and there does
not appear to be any very good reason
why the present contractors should not
continue to do the work. Work done at
the Journal Office will bear the closest in
spection.
