GERMANY OBJECTS.
Great Britain Finds Resistance
10 the Dethronement of
Said Khalid.

Zanzibar, September 12.-
The belief is prevalent here
that Germany does not intend
10 acquiesce in the action taken
by the British government,
through admiral Henry Raw
son, in appointing Hammond
Bin Mohammed Bin Said, sultan
of Zanzibar. Said Khalid, the
alleged usurper, has been at
the German consulate ever
since the fall of the palace on
August 81, and in spite Of the
request of the British consul
for his surrender, there has
been no disposition manifested
on the part of the German Off
Gals to give him mp.
Rumors are now in circula
ton here that it is the inten-
ton of the German authorities
to reinstate Said Khalld on the
throne from which he was de
posed by force of British arms.
These rumors have caused great
uueasines here. There is a feel
ing that Germany is not acting
in a friendly spirit and is seek
ing to make an issue with Great
Britain

ANOTHER WELL
ACCIDENT.
One Man Killed and Another's
Recovery is Doubtful.

Copeville, Collin Co., Sept.
I2.-On yesterday evening,
between S and 6 o'clock, a
sad accident occurred about
one-haH mile west of this
place. While Henry Morgan
and G. F. Hornbuckle and a
Mr.. Self we're blasting in a
well on Morgan's farm they
put in a blast which went off.
Hornbuckle and Self let Nor
gan down in the well to fill up
the bucket with dirt. 1t is sup
posed that he went down too
soon and was overcome by
the poisonous damp caused
from the explosion. He tod
them to draw him out. They
succeeded in getting him to
the top, when he let all hold
loose, as the damp had entirely
overcome him by that time,
and fell to the bottom, about
twelve or fifteen feet breaking
his neck. Mr.. Iornbucile
was let down after Morgan.
He was also overcome by the
damp, became speeches. and
lit was some time before Self
could get sufficient help to
draw them out. Morgan was
taken out dead and Horn
buckle SO nearly dead that his
recovery was thought doubt
full, but at this writing he is
thought to be improving.

town but our people will not support
team that constantly meets defeat.
If the Bath team is to stay in the
league il must do better work, and
why isn't it better to get better work
right away while there is yet a chance
for the championship, than it is to wait
until it is too late. The public viii pay
to see polo but it must be good polo.
Charles Marston of Fall River. has
been asked to go to Lewiston and take
the polo team. He cannot figure out
a winning enterprise, however. and
refuses to consider the matter.-Boston
Globe. The Boston papers take special
pains to go out of their way to give
polo black eye. In fact some of the
writers in Boston act as If they must
run, or ruin the sport in Maine. The
facts in the case are misrepresented.
Mr.. Marston was anxious to have the
polo franchise in Lewiston. but Man
ager Leader secured it. Mr.. Marston
afterwards was offered the Lewiston
franchise, but replied that he was en-
gagged in other business so could not
consider the option. The Globe has
the privilege to do what they can to
down polo in Maine. but let the paper
state the truth.-Lewiston Sun.
Rockland Currier- Gazette: The at
tendance at the games thus far have
been very satisfactory and very graft
flying to the management, insuring good
sport for winter evenings.
Polo is bound to be a success in this
city as the people are what is called
polo crazy" If the polo
league is successful there will be a
strong effort made to organize a State
base ball league. Maynard who is as
good a ball player as he is poloist
would like to play in Rockland next
summer There will be great
sport when the Portlands make their
first visit here. Portland and Rock
land are considered the two fastest
teams in the league. The sports will
all be out. When not playing

O'Malley, machinest; Maynard a
printer: O'Connor. reporter on the Bos-
ton Globe; of the Gay brothers. one is
