BATH, Me, Aug 11.-When the Bos-
ton steamer Kenebec left this port yes.
terday Arthur Sewall was on board
he was on his way to Boston from
which place he will go direct to New
York to receive the official notification
of his nomination as vice president by
the Democrats. Mr.. Sewall wore a light
suit and straw hat and smiled pleasant
ly when asked what time he expected to

Sewall. Il shall notify Chairman
Hughes of the state committee at the
earliest possible moment, that he may
at once begin arrangements. There is
an urgent demand for Mr.. Bryan from
al quarters. He is wanted in Portland

no idea of the power of the man or of
the impression which he makes upon

Incidentally Mr.. Sewall remarked
that he believed in campaign of edu.
cation, and that wherever practicable
joint discussions should be had by the
Democratic and Republican speakers

disaster was the drydock, built about

CHAPTER III

A heavy rain had been falling all
day, and reports from above spoke of
high water coming down. Although
Gottlieb had long since lost all hope Of
ever again steaming down the river on
the Schiller, for high banks had formed
between his farm and the river, yet he
always read with interest accounts Of
high water A dark night set in and
the rainfall increased i'll volume. The
old engineer raised steam. as usual, and
the bow of the Schiller pressed against
the edge of her narrow confines. Henry
took his accustomed place at the wheel
II never heard such rain, he unused.
Good thing we brought the horses
aboard "
At a late hour he still sat in the pilot
house The machinery was slowly work
ing. "Old Bob, " he unused, must be
industrious tonight, but he always
works his engine when the weather's
bad -
The captain came up. You'd better
turn in, Henry. It's getting late. Great
Lord What was that?'
The boat had moved The rain fell
in such volume that no rush of water
could be heard. Henry's eyes stood out
in wild stare The boat moved, ca
reened to one side, steadied herself and
shot forward.
Give me the wheeI-giye her to
mep' exclaimed the captain
Getaway, captain you are too much
excited. l know where we are. going
through the Yelling field. The water
naturally turns to the right here, for
the land is low Lightning flashed.
Don t you see?''
ICED bless the boy.
Bless us all, - Henry replied. Mrs
Langbuerger and Ida rushed into the
pilothouse.
CHOW we turn into Bobson's narrow
field, > he said as another flash of light
ming illuminated the yellow sheet of
water
"Where can we get into the river,
Henry"
1--WE go over Jackson's field into Cove
creek and then ON TO the river I've
planned the route many time and
have walked over it hundred times !"
Fifteen years since the Schiller
came up the river, the captain said.
Here we are, as another flash of
lightning lit up with glare the mighty,
rushing river. For time no one
spoke. Morning slowly advanced, and
when the light was sufficient the Schil-
Ter was landed. A crew was soon formed
While the captain was standing on
the shore a man approached him and
said:
''You don t remember me, do you?"
why, Quirmer, how are you?''

go aboard. Henry doesn't know the
river, and 1 want you to teach him. In
other words, take your old place. There,
don't mention it, but go aboard, for we
are going to start in few minutes ;"
That night Henry and Ida We're mar
ricd
s.What boat is that?' asked man at
Helena the other day.
"That's the Schiller, built by old

the captain now, but the old man is SO
full of life that he goes out every trip. "

Three Persons Are Killed and Fifteen

COLUMBIA, Pa, Aug lI-Three per-
sons were instantly killed and 10 in
iured, some probably fatally, by the de-
railment of a trolleycar on the Column
bia and Donegal electric road Sunday
night Just outside the borough limits OF
Columbia
The dead are:
Adam Foehlinger, the motorman.
Henry Smith and an unknown person.
At least two of the injured may die.
The place where the accident occurred
is at the base Of steep incline. The
car was loaded with passengers and as
it reached the edge of the incline there
was no indication of impending danger.
Once on the incline, however, the car
began to slip, owing to wet tracks. The
motorman applied the breaks and at
that moment the gearwheel broke, rem
dering the break useless. The cur
dashed along at a terrific rate while
within the terrorstrioken passengers sat
and stood petrifed with fear. The car
upon reaching the bottom took sharp
turn and was thrown up against the
embankment. Word was quickly sent
to Columbia and a relief car was sent to
the scene. At present the names of the
injured are unknown.
