The "ShOre Line" Assured.

The Eastport Sentinel makes this en-
phatic announcement at the head of its
editorial column:
We can assure our readers this week that the
Washington county railroad has passed from
the probabilities to a certainty. The road is
under contract, the money to build the road has
been deposited in IA New York bank work will
commence at once, and next year, at be
fore this time the road viii be completed and in
operation The work required to bring about
this result has been enormous, and attended
with many yeNations. The chief promoters of
the enterprise have been accused of many sin
lister motives, but "alls we'll that ends well"
"rhey laugh best who laugh last"

Thomas Griudle, of Ellsworth, was
fined 3 and costs for iutoNication, in the
municipal court. The tine was paid.
Sheriff Hooper has the Jail IN good CON
ditlon. Tue walls and homework nave
recently been painted. The ce3is ana

Isle, Sept. ~; George II. Carter, Btuehill,

ication. The other prisoners are Mrs.

ably be declared void by the insurance
company. The buildings were valued
at $500. The fire is attributed to spon-
taneous combustion.
Again have the yachts of the Ellsworth
fleet been doomed to disappointment IN
the effort to race. 1t was double disap-
pointment in fact, for the first came
breaking down of the Little Round
Top" would neeessitate abandon
ment Of the excursion. The
yachtsmen, however, went down the bay
prepared to race. Early in the day the
weather looked favorab Bile for race. The
course was laid out. and the yachts started
away for their twelve-mile race. The
breeze at the start was not strong, but it
was steady. Soon after the yachts
rounded the six-mile course the first time,
the breeze, which had been growing
lighter, died out entirely. 1t was impos-
sible to complete the race within the time
limit. The yachts were in the following
order when the wind left them: "Annie
Lee," viii Whiting; "Empress,' Frank
S. Lord: "Hazel," Capt. Allen Holt
Comfort" b. T. Sowle; "Thetis," II. E.
Hamlin. The "Annie Lee" clearly dem
onstrated her superiority in light
breeze. Even after the other yachts were
motionless she seemed to find a breeze
somewhere, and moved slowly away
from the other yachts, until, when the
race was called off, she had lead of over a
mile. With good breeze to the finish,
it is believed she could never have secured
such lead. There will be no other at
tempt to race this season.

EARTHQUAKES:
Ellsworth Thought the state Board Of
Trade Had Returned.


An cart hquake! Yes a real, live. rum
bling, tumblng, trem mbiing cart hquakel
That's what it was, though at first Els
worth refused to believe it. and thought
the State board of trade was back again,
or that he gentlemen from Alamoosook
were being entertained at Nig,5!i.,.
The quake arrived in Ellsworth at LOS
p. m. Saturday. Opinions TO how
long it lasted vary all ;he way from
three seconds to thirty. The AMERICAN
could find no one who held watch on it.
1t was probably between f7o and Ten
seconds.
The first indication of the cart hQuake
was deep rumbling sound coming, ap-
parently, from the bowels of the earth.
This lasted several seconds. accompanied
by trembling motion such as caused by
heavy thunder. Then the rambling
passed away, the earth with slight heav-
ing motion settled down Ia IT'S customary
dull routine of 2i-hours- R-day labor. and
people who had been standing in dumb
astonishment found hrre'h tc say,
''W hat was it -
The shock felt most distinctly by
people in houses. Window and dishes
ratified, and pictures trsmbtec! on the
walls. Very few people " no were out-of-
doors felt the shock.
The earthquake was general through
out eastern and northern Maine. 1t was
felt as far west as Farmiugton. The
centre of the convuIsiou seems to have
been Washington ana Hancock counties.
