Charles Gosier, OF Evansport, o., a re-
ligious fanatic and an ardent Seventh
Day Adventist, tried to walk across a
river on the surface on Saturday and

enough to enable him to walk across,
and, leaving his companion, he spent
some moments in prayer and singing
hymns, and then started out boldly to
walk across on the water. Some boys
who saw him said he appeared to walk
all right for several PAGES, then he
commenced to splash and founder,
and finally sank from sight, still sing
ing. His body was recovered.

covered with from five totwenty feet of
water and all business is suspended.
The town is divided by raging torrent
and traffic, except by boat, is impos-

night the loss OF life would have been
appalling. Four people are missing

has about been abandoned, as the
house in which they were living was
washed away and completely wrecked.

levied for purposes Of revenue, such
duties to be 30 adjusted as to operate
equally throughout the country, and

MR.. BRYAN IN MAINE.-The home

the democratic ticket a royal greeting
Saturday night, greeting that was
strangely in contrast with the vote cast
only few days ago Regular and spe.
cial trains brought immense crowds of
people to the city from places through.
out the central part of the State, and
more people from remote parts.
Bath is not situated conveniently for
a big gathering of people, but there
we're at least 10000 people in Custom
House Square when Mr.. Bryan began
his address. A special train from Port
land, with both candidates on board
and accompanied by the State demo-
cratic committee and the Bath recep.
ton committee, arrived in Bath at {
o'clock. The candidates were wild
ly cheered. While in the city MIR.

another one Of the few democrats W o

Wilson. in view Of what he has been,
should be ashamed OF himself for hav-
ing spoken the words referred to. 1t
would have been better for him if he
had offered no reason for his intention
to desert his party. But whom the
gods would destroy they first make
mad. He has subjected himself TO
the malign influence of Mr. Cleveland,
who, having been discarded by his
party, is not only instigated by his ma
lignant desire for revenge TO destroy 1t,
but in order to crafty that desire,
would also sacrifice, by forcing them
into oblivion, even the few who have
been subservient enough to acknow-
ledge him as their idol.

THAT THE republicans aud their as
sistants, the boilers, are alarmed at the

absurd efforts they are making to buoy

Bryan will only carry some Southern
States, and but. few Of them, and that,
too, though the West seems to be mani
mously in his favor; and also, that
Prince Bismarck recent free silver

''In connection with the report that

that the gold democrats are very anx-

afford to be neutral in the matter OF

out for Palmer and Buckner. a num-
Der of Lees warm personal friends are
hoping and trusting he will not return

AT the department it is said no intima.
