ASKED TO ENDORSE LAMB.
4 Circular of This Kind Falls Into
Hands of the Opposition.

The anti-Lamb faction has gotten hold
Of a very interesting circular. intended
for the city and county chairmen
throughout the State. The communica-
uon is signed by Mr. Alva Martin, Of
Norfolk, a member Of the State Exc
cutive Committee. and asks that the
county conventions endorse Colonel Lamb
as State chairman.
The circular alleges that Colonel Lamb
has been made the victim of Richmond
schemers, who wanted friend made
State chairman.
= local Republican remarked about IL
yesterday: Mr.. Martin and Colonel
Lamb must think that Virginia Repub-
leans do not read the newspapers. 1t
is an insult 10 our intelligence TO try 10
palm off such rot on us. Why. the
newspapers tell the true story Of Colonel
Lambs tribulations, which he brought
on himself We are not afraid that the
circular will do any harm"

his charitableness. The reply was that
the witness had never heard Mr.. Grimes
spoken OF i'm this respect other than as a
knd-hearted man. Said Captain Curtis:

Mr.. Meredith, In cross-examinIng the
witness. asked II he had not also loaned

affirmative reply.
Did you ever charge any of them 10
per cent. interest per month";? asked Mr..
Meredith.
81 did not, sir
"You can stand aside"
Mr.. James Netherwood was asked II he
had ever heard any one speak of Mr..
Grimes as n man who was cruel or kind
to his fellow-man, and replied that he had

he regarded Mr.. Grimes as perfectly
honest and truthful
he had known the Marshall Ward mem
Der intimately for twenty-five years. and

Big Schooner Ashore.
The Sarah Palmer, from Louisburg, Coal Loaded
Strikes Fort Point Ledge.

By good luck more than anything else, a
costly shipwreck in Penobscot bay was
averted on Saturday evening, when the new
four-masted schooner Sarah e. Palmer, from
Louisb burg Cape Breton, for Bangor, with
coal for the Maine Central Railroad Co.,
struck on Fort Point ledge. The Palmer
came up the eastern bay Saturday afternoon,
and at 80, about high water, she struck the
ledge on the eastern side. She was under
full sail, going five or six knots an hour,
and, with 2500 tons of coal on board must
have struck with considerable force. How
she came to hit the ledge is not exactly
known, but it is supposed that the man at
the wheel did not give the rock a wide
enough berth and that the current set her
on. The ledge is marked with an iron cage
or spindle mounted on a monument, and at
high water there is very little in sight ex-
cept the iron work. The vessel remained
hard and fast, all out at low water, until
Sunday evening, when she was hauled off
by the tug Bismarck. She must have pick
ed out good smooth place to strike, for she
lay easy all the time, without straining, and
at last accounts was not leaking drop.
Ordinarily the grounding of a vessel of the
Palmer's length, with 25OO tons of coal under
her matches, in such place would mean
great damage, il not total loss, and the big
schooner's escape is as remarkable as it is
fortunate. She is fine vessel of 1173 tons,
recently launched at Bath, and is command
ed by Capt. Whittier. She was towed up by
the Bismarck Sunday night and is now at
High Head docks, Bangor.

Obituary.

! Nathaniel Hall died in Halldale, Maine,
July 25th, aged IA years, 10 months and 90
| days. He had been in failing health since
| last December, but was able to go out every
| day until near the time of his death. He re-
| ceived a severe sunstroke a few years ago
which the physicians attribute as the cause
of his DEATH The nerves running from the
brain to the heart were affected. Although
a sufferer for nearly seven months not a
murmur escaped his lips, but he bore it all
with Christian courage and fortitude 1t
can be truly said of him, "a good man has
fallen'-one who will be greatly missed in
the community in which he lived. At the
age OF fifteen years he experienced religion
and was baptized by Rev. Albert Dunbar
and united with the Baptist church in Knox,
remaining a member until the spring of 1868
when he, with his companion, united with
the f. W. B. church in Haldale and re-
mains a member until death. He leaves a
wife, two sons, two brothers and three sis
ters to mourn their great loss but not as
those without hope, for they have the as
surance he is resting with Jesus and the
loved ones gone before. just as the spirit
was taking its flight the most radiant smile
was visible on his countenance, leaving no
doubt to those bending over him as to the
glorious welcome he was receiving on the
other shore. His funeral was from the
church Monday afternoon, July 9th, Rev
j. Washburn of Parkman officiating. The
remains We're inferred in the family lot IN
the cemetery on the hill.
When through the deep waters call thee to go
The rivers OF sorrow shall not overflow,
For will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
