John L. Sullivan, while perhaps not

still manages to reach the hearts of a
certain element of the community-a fact
which was demonstrated by the good
sized audience which greeted him last
night at the Portland theatre.
With great applause he made his ap-

The Deceased a Popular Young Business
Mamie Had Been Fishing Trip
and was on His Way Home.
A very sad accident occurred at Peaks
island last evening, whereby a popular
and respected young man, Mr.. Thomas
A. Hurlburt, lost his life.
The circumstances of the accident were
peculiarly distressing. Mr.. Hurlbut is a
member of the firm of Hurlburt Brothers,
druggists, who have store under the
West End hotel. About 6.15 o clock yes
terday morning party started out for a
fishing trip on the schooner yacht
Mildred. There were five IN the party.
Mr.. Hurlburt, his father, Capt. Thomas
q. Hurlburt, Mr.. Bert Plummer, Mr.. E.
N. Soule and Mr.. c. H. Dodge. 1t was
sort of a neigborhood party, the members
of it generally being in business or re-
siding in the vicinity of the Hurlburt
store at the West End. They went out
side for fish; but the weather being bad
they returned and ran in to Peaks Island
going ashore at Forest City landing. Mr..
Hurlburt's brother and partner, William
E. Hurlburt runs branch drug store at
that place, and they landed to call upon
him. While there Mr.. Dodge left the
party because of a business engagement
in the city, and came up on the boat.
About $50 p. m, the remainder of the
party embarked. Mr.. William E. Hurl-
burt stood on the wharf to see them off.
They had taken up the anchor and headed
the yacht out, when the accident occurred.
Mr.. Thomas A. Hurlburt was sitting on
the bowsprit. the remainder of the party
being in the after part of the boat. Those
on the boat did not see the accident, but
Mr.. William E. Hurlburt from the wharf
saw his brother fall off the bowsprit and
sink out of sight in the water. He began
at once to shout frantically to those in
the yacht; but they, not being near
enough to hear his words, had their at
tention occupied by his actions. and SO
did not notice that their companion had
disappeared for some minutes. When they
did realize what had happened he had dis.
appeared in the deep and swift water OF
that locality.
NOTu Nesn DIOlSHU very sOOA W Uu6 Clby
and friends and relatives gathered at tn
store to comfort those nearest him as best
they could. Mr.. Hurlburt was very
popular, and the grief in that portion of
the city was very evident.
At the island the work of searching for
the body was begun very soon, and
during the evening six boats were at
work.
Mr. Hurlburt lived at No. S Weymouth
street. He leaves wife, formerly Miss
Lena 6. Rumery, to whom he was
married five years ago. He also leaves a
brother, father and mother. His father
is Captain Thomas G. Hurlburt retired
sea captain, who has store at Libby 8
corner. They came here from Eastport.
Hurlburt Brothers formerly had store
at Libbytown; but when the West End
hotel was built they took one of the stores
in that block, and have done large bust
ness there since. Besides the branch store
at Peaks Island this year, they ran a
branch store at Old Orchard two and
three years ago.
Mr. Hurlburt was about twenty seven
years old. He was a member of the
Lincoln club, but otherwise did not be.
