Al Hope Given Up Of the Four nlissins
Bucksport Men.

|. Bucksport Sept. 23.-Searching parties
have been on the river all day looking for
clues to the whereabouts Of the four
young men who left this place. Tuesday
morning, in small boat for lumber
landing three miles up the Penobscot and
have not since been heard FROM Besides
the waterlogged boat and hat belonging
to one of the men, which drifted ashore
yesterday. the oars and wooden bucket
which contained their provisions were
picked up, today, but no bodies.
There is now no doubt but what the
men were drowned and in all probability
the two that could swim were dragged
down by the other two that could not, as
reputable parties living on the Prospect
side of the river say that cries of LET
me alone" Let me go. Get away from
me-" were distinctly heard by them and
at about the same time the accident Is
supposed to have happened.
The general opinion here is that the
small and deeply loaded boat was struck
by squall and swamped. the men cling
ing to each other in desperation and all
sinking at once. The search will be con-
tinued, Friday.

address to members Of the league:
"A year of patriotic work is about to
end in grandest results. Last spring
nearly every governor of this republic
at our request, backed by the Legisla-

Now the hour of emancipation for
Cuba is at hand. The commanding

STEAMER LINCOLN
Strikes a Rock in the Ken

Starts Some PIanking and Loses Two
Blades Of Her Propeller.
Continues Voyage 10 Boston and VIII b
Repaired BY Today.

Boston, Sept. 23.-Steamer Lincoln
Capt. Jackson, from Bath to Boston
struck a rock in the Kennebec river
last night, and sustained considerable
damage. The night was very dark and
haze hung over the water making ii
almost impossible to distinguish the
guides in the river. Suddenly the
steamer was brought UP. with terrific
jar which shook her from stem TO
stern and caused CONSERVATION among
the 100 passengers.
1t was soon learned that the Lincoln
had struck on Potter ledge about amid
ships and scraped over it, her pro-
peller striking as she slid off, carrying
away two of the blades. The pumps
were Immediately sounded and it was
found that while the steamer was max
ing some water the leak was not
serious enough to return to Bath, and
Capt. jackson decided to continue on
his way to this port
On arriving at this port the steamer
discharged her cargo and was lowed
to marine railway and hauled out.
1t was found that the planking amid
ships aft on the starboard side had
been badly damaked and two blades
of the propeller were missing. The re-
pairs will be completed by tomorrow.

Harbor and hired team, saying that
he might go to Northeast Harbor,
claiming to be looking for one Scanlon
who, he said. had property coming to
him. The man and team did not re-
turn within a reasonable space of time,
and the fact soon dawned upon the
stable keeper that his customer I'M
doubleday possessed horse thieving pro-
pensities, and that he himself was a
team shy. The matter was placed in
the hands of Mr.. True, and he has been
quietly working it up until the fruit
should be ripe enough to pick. There
is little doubt that Cakes is the man
wanted, as his photograph was picked
out by several different men from a
large collection belonging to Mr.. True.
Cakes, or Shaughnessy, is a man
about go years of age, feet 7K inches
in height. dark complexion, with hazel
eyes, wears a mouStache, sometimes a
short beard. and weighs about $50
pounds. He was born in Franklin
county, this State, is married, and is
painter by trade. His reputation is
bad, and he has served terms in Con-
cord state prison for stealing horses
and cows. He is eccentric withal, and
passes as a very pious man, carrying
Bible with his constantly and never
failing to expose it to view whenever
the opportunity presents itself. His
conduct at the Home has not been
above reproach. and it is on record that
he has more than once shared with his
keeper and guide,' as he calls his
Bible, the narrow confines of the guard
house.

day, from the United States attorney
at Ardmore, I. T., saying that Judge
c. b. Kilgore died there a. IL. 80 o'clock,

He was called Buck" by his init !.
mates and attracted wide public at
tention in the 51st Congress by kicking
In green baize door which had been
locked by order of Speaker Reed dur
ing one of the filibustering scenes that
made the first quorum counting
memorable. He supported President
Cleveland ardently and after he was
retired from Congress the President ap-
pointed him one of the judges for the
Indian Territory.
He was man of distinguished
presence, tall and heavy framed and
with a kindly good humored face. He
was well liked by his fellow members
notwithstanding that he killed many
of their pet projects by his assumption
of the role of objector when it was at
tempted to push measures through
