The drum was beaten. horns blown

by shouting small boys. But now one
thing occurred to mar the pleasure OF the
day. As the parade turned a corner,
Howard Smith, OF North Lamoine, fell
from he cart and the wheel passed across
his leg and body, injuring him severely.
No bones were broken, and it is hoped he
will be all right in few days, A brother

one OF the wheels, but was not badly
injured.
At 10 O'Clock the grange hall was filled
to listen to an Grafton by y. w. King,

FoNcroft Not Liable.

The attorneys who have been working
on the accounts OF Elias j. Hale. the de-
faulting treasurer of FoXcroft reported
al special town meeting last Wednes-
day.
The amount OF notes in the attorneys
hands is $4,000. The town should have
been out of debt in 1855, with present
surplus of $50, 900. The town will GER
tainly not be responsible for the notes.
Many suits OF equity are likely to result.
The appraisers of Judge Hale's estate
found ia, 600 OF property in his name. The
ex-treasurer's rascality dates from his en-
trance to Office. The town has not lost
by notes alone, but several thousands Of
dollars were stolen outright from the
treasury.
According to the treasurer's books the
town is about s. 900 in debt. II the notes
are good the town is $4,000 in debt,
but the general opinion Of lawyers is that
the town cannot be held.

SOLD FOR OLD JUNK.
The Fate of Once Sprishtly "katah-
din" of the Bangor Line.

The side-W heel steamer /" katahdlu the
oldest of the Boston and Bangor steam
ship company's fleet, has been sold to
Butler & Murphy, junk dealers, OF Bos-
ton, who will break her up. II is said the
price paid for the steamer WAS = 800.
She was lowed to Houghs Neck, where,
after the boilers and machinery have been
removed she Will be burned in order to
obtain the old metal.
The old "Katahdin" has an interesting
history. She started on her trial trip to
Bangor on May 10, 1863, under the COM
mand OF Capt. Charles B. Sanford. Her
last trip was made from Bangor on June
IS, 1891, with Capt. Otis lngraham in COM
mand, arriving in Boston early the fol-
lowing morning with 173 passengers and
a full cargo of freight. She has since
that time laid at her dock in East Boston.
The "katahdin' WAS built in New York
for the Boston and Bangor route, and she
has continued on the route the year
through with the exception OF the winter
OF 1854, when she ran on the Fall River
line. She has probably seen more and
more ice, than any vessel that has not
been in the Arctic seas.
Her cost was $3.50 600, and at the time
she was finished no steamer had then
been so beautifully, deliberately and ex-
pensively fitted out,

10. The Poor Editor.

\ minister wished to ascertain what
influence the hard times had upon his
congregation, and said at he close OF his
sermon: II would ask everyone who
still is able to pay his debts to rise from
his seat"
The whole congregation arose, with the
exception OF one man. The parson then
asked that all those who were unable to
meet their bills should rise. Thereupon
the afore- mentioned solitary individual
got up, a hungry looking, poorly clad
man, whose features revealed the terrible

general rush was made to thelfront OF the
grounds, where good view OF the run
ming race could be obtained. The horses
entered were Gypsy, ridden by John Latty,
Tom, by Jesse Demmon, both owned
by A l. Holmes; Gilchrist, owned by J.
T. R. Freeman and ridden by Eben Hodg-
kins. Gypsy won the prize OF 500, Gil
christ coming in second.
"Play ball; play ball, :" rallied the crowd
back to the diamond and the game which
was sharply contested for two hours and
a half, closing after the ninth inning with
the score 9 to y in favor OF Northeas
Harbor The prize OF a handsome bat
and ball was awarded.
Much of the pleasure OF the days fes-
tivities was married by the cool impu-
dence OF certain parties from a neig Dor
ing town who had no regard for honor or
decency, but unblushingly circulated the
whiskey bottle among the topers OF their
set. This state of things would not have
been allowed had there been officers on
duty to enforce the prohibitory law, but
the only available constable was one of
the managers OF the celebration, SO felt
obliged to pursue one duty at the cost of
neglecting another.
The second bicycle race, entered by
Moses Ralph and Clarence Gray, was won
by the former. Prize $500.
Some OF the most amusing features of
the day followed The creased pig,
weight lbs pounds, was chased by about
dozen, and soon caught and claimed by
Bonnie Allen, who seemed to be in luck,
for he succeeded in climbing the creased
pole second to Willie Kelley, who won
the prize of 500,
The sack race created much amuse-
ment, the premium of 500 being
awarded Moses Ralph. who was slightly
ahead of Harry Gilley An hour or two
of dancing WAS enjoyed in fremont hall
before the $50 supper was served, and
continued after supper TIL midnight.
In the evening fireworks displayed
their brilliant colors from every point OF
the compass Thus ended Independence
Day, which will ever be memorable

PASSPORT Wharf Fell.

The north side of B. E. Milliken &
Sons large wharf at Eastport fell Tues
day of last week, carrying down large
slip and hosting windlass.
The wharf was one of the best in the
city. The worms which eat away the
heavy piles of the wharves were the cause
OF the accident, combined with the heavy
freights that have been piled upon the
wharf the past years. The damage is
estimated at 5000.

Peter Gut, of No. 70 Lippert street, and
Michael Krcbbs, of No. 20 Strubel street, were
employed Monday in moving cement at
the safe works. The cement comes in sacks
the size of sack of flour and weighs 100
pounds to the sack. There was large pile of
these sacks, probably 12 or Ia feet high, and
the men in moving it kept taking the
sacks from the bottom. Suddenly
the whole pile gave way, and in
falling buried both men. Other workmen
hurried to their assistance and rescued them
from their perilous position. When taken out
Peter Gut had two ribs broken on each side
and was severely injured internally, bleeding
profusely from the mouth. His right foot
was also badly twisted.
Michael Krebs had his right arm dislocated
at the shoulder, and was also injured intern.
ally. The men were unconscious when taken
from under the cement and but for the presence
of the other workmen in the close vicinity
would have been killed. Shillings ambulance

SEEDS, A JAR, A PIANO, A GUESS.

About six months ago the publishers of a
newspaper at Massillon, devised a scheme for
Increasing their circulation that is now caus-
ing large amount of trouble. A jar was filed
with seeds to which every subscriber was en-
titled to guess as to the number contained
therein provided such subscriber paid one
years subscription in advance. The plan was
violation of the anti-lottery postal law, and
had to be given up. When the time came for
the distribution of the prizes, it was found that
the piano had been drawn by citizen Of Gold
Hill, Oregon. Il. i. Powell, of Massillon, who
wanted piano, decided to buy the piano Of its
owner if possible. He alleges that he in
quired of the publisher OF the paper, the
name of the winner and was told
that it was d. u. Martin, of Gold Hill, Oregon.
Mr.. Powell wrote to that gentleman and offered
him a certain amount for a clear title to the
piano. Martin accepted the proposition and
the money was deposited at bank. Powell
then claimed the piano. The publishers re-
fused to honor his claim on the ground that S.
NJ. Martin, of Gold Hill, Gre, had won the
piano and not d. Y. Martin. They emphati-
cally state that d. u. Martin did not even have
guess in the contest. The latter, however,
is firm in his belief that he did win it and
wants to accept Powell's offer. The publish
ing house managers are willing to pay S75 for
the instrument themselves and have offered
this sum to S. NJ. Martin. This he will prob
ably accept, so il is likely that the piano will
remain in MassillOn. Mr.. Powell says that he
will be on hand when the case is settled. So
the end is not yet.
