FOUR MEN MISSING.
Thought to Have Been Drowned, Of
Tuesday, Near Bucksport.
Boat Found Empty and Adrift and One MASS
Hat Washed Ashore.

Bangor, Sept. pa special to the
Commercial from Bucksport, says:
Tuesday morning about o'clock, two
punts left the Perkins mill for Bow
bring some RATS of logs to this place.
One boat was rowed by Mr.. Perkins
and three men. while the other was oc-
cupied by four employees of his. When
the boats left here the storm had some
what abated. but later came on again
as fierce as before. The water from
indian point for about a mile up river
Is usually very rough, even in pleasant
weather, but in time OF storm is ex-
tremely dangerous for small boats.
The two boats put of from shore
and each having lanterns was kept in
sight of the other. Mr.. Perkins boat
was in the lead and when some dis
lance up the river. the men noticed
that the light in their boat had disap-
peared. Nothing was thought Of this
however, and the boat proceeded to its
destination.
The men worked on the logs all day
and at night. as nothing had been seen of
tHc otHcA AheH VI uOdt, IL was SuppOSeu
that on account of some accident 1t had
put back to town. Accordingly Mr.. Per-
kins was greatly alarmed on his arrival
here. Tuesday night, to discover that
nothing had been seen of the men since
they left there in the morning.
1t is feared that the boat was unable
to ride the waves and was swamped and
overturned and the men drowned. 1t Is
believed barely possible that the men es-
capped drowning and are yet alive. but 1t
is almost forlorn hope. for if the men
were safe something should certainly
have been heard from them before this.
The names of the missing men are AL
fred Deane. Newfoundland; Charles Rus
sell. Bangor: Willard Lowe and Will
Tucker. Epping.
1t was in about the same part of the
river in which these men are supposed to
have met their fate, that Ernest Harri-
man of Prospect. was drowned about two
years ago on Thanksgiving day.
The boat was found. this morning.
about a mile up river. off Condon's point.
right side up. A hat worn by one Of the
men was also washed ashore. This would
seem to leave absolutely no doubt that
the men were drowned.
Parties will probably be organized to
drag the river for the bodies.

Steamship Oneida of the Clyde Line
which sank at her dock under the East
| river bridge at New York, early Tues
day morning, was raised about 4 A. NJ,
Wednesday, by the Chapman Wreckine
Co.. which had been at work on he,

hull was damaged.
Everett p. Willis, who made such a
daring attempt to rescue his brother
Herbert from the Charlestown state
prison. Aug. 10, was placed on trial in
the superior court at Boston, Wednes-
day. He was charged on two counts,
with attempting to murder, by shooting
with pistol at Elijah S. Darling and
James l.. Abbott, officers of the state
prison. The testimony in the case did
not occupy more than half an hour,
Willis asking no questions and Offering
no defence. He was not represented
by counsel. The jury retired on the
case at II o'clock, and soon after re-
turned with verdict of guilty on both
counts.
The owners of gold mines in Nicara-
qua are worried over a decree pub
lished Aug. Is, and taking effect i'm
mediately, establishing an export duty
of one dollar gold per ounce on gold
ingots and two dollars per ounce on
gold dust. The information comes to
the state department from Consular
Agent Clancy at Bluefields. He says
the old duty was 35.44 cents per ounce
on gold. The mining interests have
united in petitioning the government to
revoke the decree. which, they assert,
would be ruinous to a new industry.
Last year the gold exports from Blue
fields amounted to $1e9.565 an Increase
Of $31.636 over the preceding years
shipments.

| sen;" Luke X:2O.
The spe ker BEGAN by saying thai
Christ bad ccost II twelve apostles to
| repres- n the Jew ish nation, and sew
enty disciples 10 repre- ut the seve ty
Gentle natlons. These seventy had
where the Savior eXpe cted to go, to
| prepare the way for him. They were
successful in their mission beyO ID
| tt cir expectation, and beyond the
power specified in the commission
sending them forth. Pcs IDLY their
| sue :ess caused them to return and re-
| pr TT to the m iSter before toe work was
completed, and so he cautions them to
rejoice not that the spirits are subject
| to them, but rather because their
names are wri ten in heaven. Success
to he desired in all our
underta kings: but tie gre ater our sue
cess the greater the opportunty for a
great failure. Failures will come
- me times through our fault, some
times by reason of our lack of natural
ability, and for various other reasons.
Moses was given by God the power to
work miracles and became the greatest
leader of the Israelites. But his power
and success cid rot bring happiness
90 The contrary he became the one
upon whom conferred all the murmuring
and di con- ent among the people. I'm
til in the wild -rness he lost his patience
and was almost reconciled to having
the people destroyed. Solomon was
gifted with great wisdom, ard marve-
lous prosperity in his kingdom; but in
his lst"r life, met with failure in the
one important thing, and ended his life
under such cloud that it can rot be
said whether or not his anne was writ
ten in heaven. Elijah, the gre t
prophet who had such power in p aver
as to call forth fire from the invisible
be avens t. cor sumo his sacrifice, was
ther eby made the object of hatred of
Oar en- Jeze bel, and compelled to flee for
his life until iu his unhapp n ess he ask e /
that he 10 ght die. Mr.. Hall fur her
cited as examples Daniel whose success
and prominence "a a man Of God DrOu 2 b t
bin into the den of lions; the TIN ee
hebrew Children who were cast inJO
the fiery furnace: John the BaUt st who
incurred the hatred OF H. E. d and
lost his head in csnsequerc1. 81 the
one true cause for rejoicin is to know
that ones rarne is written in the
lambs book of life. Christ took his
in heaven. So they were not left in
doubt, they knew it. Job said, Il know
that my redeemer liveth.' The Apps
tie John says, I'VE knoU that we have
passed from death unto life.' After
speaking of the comforter W hom Christ
promised to send, AID old subsequently |
send, the speaker said there is no com
fort in having fortune in far away |
country unless that one knows the |
comforting fact. The sermon close d |
with an earnest appeal to the congrega
tion to strive to have their names writ |
ten in heaven.
