The result is plain What was intended to be-
and what originally a purely American

into Republican war with all that that implies.

In its issue Of Thursday morning,
June so, The Times requested Mr.. Gros-
venor to disclose the name of the indi-
vidual who had made the claim upon
which he based his statement TO the
| House, but the gentleman from Ohio
| has not seen fit to respond. He has
perhaps his own reasons for his silence,
| but we are inclined to think that they
are entirely personal to his informant.
For The Times now authorizes Mr..
Grosvenor TO state that the Demo
cratic congressman who authorized
| him to say that the article in the
| Morning Times Of June % entitled
Democratic Folly" was written by
| that congressman is an unconscionable
liar. The editorial in question was

CRANBERRY ISLES EPIDEMIC.
Deaths of Three Rosebrook Children
Not Due To Impure Water.

Deaths of Three Rosebrook Children
Not Due To Impure Water.
The deaths Of the three children Of Gil
bert Rosebrook at Gran berry Isles, which
were attributed in reports last week to i'm
pure water, seem to have been due rather
to an epidemic which is confined to no par
ticular part of the island, and which has
prevailed since Sept. II. AS a contradic-
ton OF the erroneous reports in circula-
tion, THE AMERICANS correspondent
sends full statement of the facts.
Oh the night of Sept. II, Charles E..
Richardson, aged thirteen years, WAS
taken ill with violent vomiting and diar-
rhea, with much fever and trembling
as OF ague. 1t was apparently a severe case
OF cholera morbus, caused, it is believed,
from eating much green corn and various
fruits on an empty stomach when over
heated. He was very i'll for twelve days,
but then began slowly to recover and is
now able to walk out.
Sept. 10, Edgar Raymond Coulter, aged
three and one half years, was taken ill
and died on the 9th. His sister had the
disease but recovered.
During this time, quite number of
grown people, as we'll as many children,
had the disease, in various places, far
remote from the Rosebrook family. Some
had it more severely than others, but all
recovered.
On September 81, Harley, the four and
one half years old son ofaGilbert Rose
brook, was taken i'll, and afterI'sixteen
hours OF suffering died in commissions.
On the oath, Jennie, the second child, six
and one half years old, was taken i'll and
after four days of suffering, died in con-
WILSON'S. On the day Jennie died, the
baby, two and one-half years old, was
taken i'll and died twenty hours later in
commissions. The two children were
buried from the church September 30,
and for the first time in its history, two
Baskets were in the church at the same
time. Rev. c, n. Davie otticiated.
On the day OF the funeral Mr.. Rose
brook and his wife were taken ill, and
the next day Nellie, the eldest and only
remaining child, was taken down. She
is the one the papers reported as dying
last Monday. She is now considered out
OF danger. Mr.. and Mrs Rosebrook are
convalescent
The water may have been in measure
accountable for the sickness, but was not
the sole cause. The Rosebrook family
emphaticalIy assert that their we'll has
not been dry this season, and they have
had no occasion to drink from guIies
around the house, even if there We're
guilies there. The first intimation the
| people on the island had OF the poisoning
came from the newspapers, and aroused
much iudignation..

NOTES.

Ellswort his chorus numbers sixty, and
forty Of them attended the festival
throughout
Quite 800 people from Ellsworth at
tended the festival. Most Of them came
back on the Saturday night special.
y meeting of the chorus is called for to-
morrow evening at the Unitarian vestry
to talk over the future.
Many Who did not attend the festival
were privileged to listen to some OF the
numbers over the telephone. Por this
courtesy thanks are due George IL. Grant,
the manager of the telephone lines in this
section.
The report that the engine Of the
special left the track at Ellsworth be-
cause of discord among the chorus is not
well founded. 1t was the penalty for
running away" from the conductor.
The festival at Portland is being held
this week-Monday, Tuesday and To-day.
The soloists are the same as they were at
Bangor. The choruses are from the
western part of the State. The audiences
are reported to be larger than at Bangor.

Bucksport Murder Mystery.

The mystery surrounding the murder
of Mrs. Sarah Ware at Bucksport, re-
mains unsoved. Detective Odlin, of
Lewiston, is at work on the case, but so
far as known, no definite clues have been
obtained.
The people OF Bucksport are still busy
| inventing theories and there are those
who still believe it is not a case of murder.
Bucksport is very much in earnest in her
efforts to unravei the mystery.
