pie were seriously injured here today
by the explosion Of can Of powder
while firing cannon on the outskirts
Of town. A scene was presented that
made sick the hearts Of those watching
from nearby hill. In the smoke that
arose from the explosion they saw
human beings run blindly here and
there over n hill, falling and rising,
only TO fall again as they rushed fran
tically about, blinded and powder
burned, madly trying TO extinguish
their flaming clothes. Those who
were unhurt ran To the aid OF the un-
fortunate ones, smothering the fam
ing clothing or cutting the garments
from their bodies. One man was
blown or rolled completely down the
high bluff, 200 feet nearly, to the
river.
The people in the neignborhood ran
to the scene, and the work Of giving
assistance TO the injured began. The
Hill was dotted with blacSened groan-
Ing figures, some Of whom lay almost
| perfectly nude. A number OF the in
jurcd were able 10 walk from the
scene, while cots were provided and
gentle hands placed the more seriously
wounded ON them and conveyed them
TO. an old house which served Us an Inn

The American Ahead, as Usual.

One OF the most important and valuable
features OF country newspaper is its
weekly record OF vital statistics. THE
AMERICAN collects these events as they
happen in Hancock county ahead Of all
it's contemporaries.
As an illustration OF this, it may be
noted that all the marriages reported in
this weeks Enterprise had previously APP
peared in THE AMERICAN; OF the twenty
three deaths reported, twenty had previ-
ously appeared in THE AMERICAN, most
OF them last week, two OF them two weeks
ago, and one three weeks ago.
Last week the Enterprise did not report
any vital statistics; THE AMERICAN re-
ported fifteen births, five marriages, and
twenty deaths.
In this respect, as in all others, THE
AMERICAN is entitled to its claim of being
the only County paper.

the Greek cabinet has resigned. The
next few hours may see the over
throw of the Greek government and
the establishment of a republic. This
revolution is the result of the Greek
losses on the Thessalian frontier, the
Greek populace declaring that poll
ties and not war is the game they
have been playing.
In Thessaly, the seat of the war,
the fighting has not been so desperate
the past few days. The Greeks have
fallen back from Larissa, twenty miles
further toward Athens. Reports are
conflicting as to how this retreat was
made, the Greeks declaring that it
was orderly, the Turks that it was a
general rout. At all events the Turks
find themselves in possession of
Larissa, and here they seem to be
resting to recruit their forces.
The Greeks are still active and
victorious on the west coast, while
the Greek fleet in the Egean sea has
done effective work in bombarding
towns on the east coast. No naval
battle has yet been fought. Greek
hopes rest now largely with its naval
fleet.
1t is not certain that the Turks will
advance further into Thessaly. The
Greek position now admits of much
better defense than at Larissa, and
though the overpowering Turkish
forces could undoubtedly capture it,
it would be at great sacrifice 1t is
more than likely that before active
operations are resumed, the concert
of powers will interfere, an armistice
will be declared, and final effort will
be made to settle the difficulties with
out further blood shed.

correspondent from Deer Isle writes ::
Much interest has been taken In the articles
in The AMERICAN on the tuberculosis ques-
ton. VIII some one who knows inform US as
to the way tuberculin Is administered and its
effects on the animal. Also what are the symp-
toms which the ordinary farmer may recognize
as indicating the disease.
THE AMERICAN submitted he questions
asked to DR.. w. L. West, OF this city, who
has given the matter much study, and
has within the past few weeks tested
many COWS in Hancock county. Dr.
West says there are no outward signs of
tuberculosis until the disease is in it's ad-
vanced stages, when there is a cough, and
the COW becomes emaciated. In the
earlier stages, the disease does not mani
fest itself outwardly, and the diseased
COW in a herd may be and often is the
finest looking one of the lot. The tuber-
culin test is administered by injection
The temperature of'the COW is taken before
the injection and again twelve hours after
the injection. A rise in temperature OF
from two to six degrees indicates the dis
ease. The test, when properly made, is
infallible. Under certain conditions, the
temperature Of a COW may be very high
before the injection. In such cases, tu-
berculosis would still manifest itself by
rising temperature, though the tempera-
ture Of the COW may have been inordi-
nately high before the test.

Progress of the Tariff Bill.

Senator Allison, who is a member
of the subcommittee engaged in GO
ing over the Dingley bill before it is
reported to the full finance COM
mittee-by the way, this sub commit
tee is not taking any holiday either
day or night this week-gave caller
good idea of the manner in which
the work of revision is being done,
when he said:
"Here is letter from a manufac
turer of blacking. How many ingre-
dents do you suppose there are that
enter into this manufacture? Well,
more than a dozen. Some of these
ingredients have been transferred
from the free to the dutiable list.
Some have had the rates increased,
some decreased. Each article has a
direct bearing on this mans business.
He writes us that backing is sold
n packages Of 4 certain size, which
cannot well be varied; also that most
If the backing is imported from
rance, and that the industry in this
country is in its infancy, but is max
ng fair progress.
''If we retain the house rates on
ertain ingredients he mentions, he
SKIS that we also make a small in
rease on backing, and suggests that
will be easier to do this than to
hange the rates on a dozen articles
'hich enter into his product. His re-
uest does not seem unreasonable,
oes it, if the facts are as he states?
"Wel, we have looked into the
ites of every one of the ingredients
lentioned and their bearing on his
roduct, and find his statement cor
] sct. That is the way we are doing
II work on the tariff bill, and think
is better than to do this man an in
stice and possibly give his business
the French manufacturers"
The subcommittee expects to COM
etc its work on the bill this week,
I'd it is hoped that the bill can be re-
,rted to the Senate next week.

The Revival Meetings.

ELLSWORTH, April p, 1897.
To the Public:
On Thursday evening at : 80, Mr.. II. l..
Gale begins series of revival meetings in
Hancock hall. He VIII be ably assisted
by MIR. Evarts, OF Boston. With reference
to these men, we beg to say word as hey
start i'll on what is hoped will prove the
greatest religious campaign this city ever
saw. Unusual success has ever attended
Mr. Gale He is all hat his friends claim
for him. After very careful investicat ION
We find that his work in Bangor was of an
exceptionally high order. He did good
honest, faithful work. He left the
churches in better condition than he
found them. No loose ends were left So
far As he was concerned, he completed his
task. Letters and notices from various
sources all speak IN the same unmi-tak-
able tone of tins mans peculiar fitness
for his special Dor. But he can do moth
ing alone. He needs the hearty support
OF every Christian in he city.
A. tor Mr.. Evsrts, he is also a man OF
nod. lie is II Christian gentleman. His
record Is good one. And this city is
fortunate to secure al one time two men
so fully consecrated to the uplifting OF
humanity.
There is no one in Ellsworth possessing
the slightest spark of morality who does
not desire that our city shall be more
prosperous, and its citizens better men
and women. We all desire to make our
place OF residence brighter and pleas
anter.
Therefore let US heartily support these
meetings in all possible ways. By our
presence we may encourage the work.
By assisting as we are able, let US bear
what expense there may be incident to
the meetings. By saying a good word
for the speakers, we can help public
sentiment.
In short, this special work should
become not simply the church's wor.:
but the peoples. We invite the public
to turn out Thursday evening, and give
our friends a royal welcome to this city.

A typographical error which stands a
fair chance of receiving more than local
fame appeared in THE AMERICAN last
week, " hen We made our Sout invest Har-
Dor correspondent call his neig h Dor across
the harbor "heat hen" Instead of bret tn
rem. Our correspondent with whose
writing this liberty WAS taken, lets us
down very gently when he writes:
We desire to correct hundcr OF the printer
or proof reader that occurred in last week
items from this place. The word "heathen"
used instead OF word "brethren". Your
cores ondeut- this way call no men heather,
but all men brethren. Give that overworked
proof reader a vacation, or buy him a pair of
spectacleS.
We might add that our proof-reader
already has pair of spectacles, so the
trouble may not be altogether with the
reader. Man has succeeded in decipher-
ing the hieroglyphics of the Egyptians,
but human ability has its limitations.
[P. Son further investigation, it ap-
pears that the copy holder WAS equally
guilty with the editor, compositor and
proof reader
