THANKSGIVING
PROCLAMATION
By the Governor.

The time honored custom of recognizing
and giving thanks to Almighty God as
the year draws to close, for His mani
fold mercies, was instituted in Plymouth
Colony by the Puritans in the early set
tlement OF our country. The present year
has brought to the people of Maine fair
degree OF prosperity, and though the har-
vest has been less bountiful than usual.
we have moved onward in liberty and
peace. We have been signally preserved
from great calamities and pestilence and
have very much for which to be truly
thankful. In grateful recognition of our
Indebtedness to. and dependence upon the
G1ver Of these blessings and also con-
forming to the Proclamation OF the Pres
Ment OF the United States, I, Llewellyn
Powers, Governor of the State of Maine.
do hereby designate and set apart, with
the advice and consent Of the Council.
THURSDAY, THE 25th DAY OF NOVEMBER,
A.. D. 1897.
as a day Of Thanksgiving and Prayer.
And do earnestly request all the citizens
Of our State to refrain on that day from
any unnecessary labor and with heart
felt gratitude render thanks to God for
His care and goodness to US as a people
And especially would enjoin those who
have abundance to give substantial evil
dence Of their thankfulness by remem-
bering, on this day, the poor and unfor-
tunate.
Given at the Executive Chamber'at Au-
gusta, this fifth day Of November, in
the year of our Lord eighteen hun
dred and ninety-seven, and the Inde-
pendence Of the United States of
America the one hundred and twenty
second. LLEwELLYN POWERS,

Court,

Judge Gsskill was at the Court House,
on Saturday, to hear some cases that had
been set down for that day. The first
was petition by heirs of the estate Of
Richard Carpenter, deceased, to compel
Aaron Early, executor, to pay $3.50, which
it was claimed he was withholding. Mr.
Early showed, however. that the petition
was without foundation, and it was dis
missed.
The appeal case of Hannah Adrews VS.
Thomas Crammer was heard. Crammel
resides at Buddtown and drives a grocery
wagon. He had sold goods to Andrews,
but finally refused to continue to do 80
Mrs. Andrews then bought and promised
to pay, but she refused to keep her word.
The bill was then presented to the hus.
band, but he would not settle it.
Mr.. Andrews said he always supported
the family. The purchases from Cram
mer had been made by himself and be
had never been refused credit. Mrs. An
drews denied having ever promised to
pay the bill and said her husband was
responsible for the debt.
The judgment below in favor of Cram.
mer, for $10.81, was affirmed.

The ship Francis was burned at O'Clock
Sunday morning, five miles south from
Beach Haven. She went ashore some
time during the night and took fire. She
belonged in New Bedford, Mass, and car
ried general cargo from San Francisco tc
New York. The boat is total loss. The
crew were safely landed.
The Francis was in command of Capt.
A. S. Smith and carried crew of twenty
five men. Capt. Smith stated that the
fire was discovered first on Friday night,
and detailing the crew into equal watches
he set the pumps working. Finding that
the fire gained on him he battened down
the matches in the hope that the strong
southerly breeze would carry him into
New York harbor In time to save the
ship. When opposite Absecon Light he
saw that the ship would not last that long
so he determined to beach her and make
another attempt to save her from total
loss.
When the life savers arrived at the
wreck the ships crew were frantic, and
the life saving crew OF Little Egg Harbor
approached cautiously to the ship, and
with difficulty kept the ships crew from
rushing into the surf boat and swapping
her. As rapidly as possible the men
were taken off the ship one by one. The
ships long boat was used to assist in carry
ing the men ashore.
The crew did not have time to save a
thing and were lucky to escape with their
lives. The captain had been so busy from
the moment of the discovery of the fire
that he had not had time even to save his
shoes, and he wore a pair of rubbers
which one of the tugboat men gave him.
Capt. Smith is almost heartbroken. His
wife had died on the voyage to San Fran
cisco, and to lose his vessel just when
it was so near port had almost prostrat-
ed him. He had not closed an eye since
the fire broke out on board the ship on
Friday night.

Saturdays game of base ball on the
grounds of the Mount Holly Athletic As
ISOLATION was great improvement on the
first exhibition. Both clubs played with
vim. Wiley, who at one time played
with the Mount Holly club, went into the
pitchers box for the visitors for the first
four innings. He was given poor support
and Mount Holly gained a lead at the
start. In the fifth inning Reynolds took
the box and only one run was made of
his delivery. Black pitched for Mount
Holly and while he was touched up quite
lively, his support was excellent The
finest play ever made on the grounds was
