Formal Action o be Taken at Meeting
in Portland.

The meeting of the Electrolytic Marine
Salts Company, to be held in Portland
August l9, will be held in Lorimer Hall,
fremont Temple, next Tuesday. The
Boston meeting is called in order to give
the great majority Of stockholders, who
are residents of Boston and its suburbs,
chance to be present and be heard. The
action taken at this meeting as to the fu-
ture of the company will probably shape
the action to be taken at the formal
meeting in Portland
One of the callers at the offices of the
company said hs thought the stockholders
were foolish to sell their shares at 10
cents. He said he would like to buy
$1,000 to $40, coo at that price. More than
that, he said he believed that the system
could be developed and be made pay
ing venture.
He said that for nine years he had been
making experiments in this line, and had
succeeded in getting gold in the ratio of
four mills to the ton, and sometimes as
high as ten mills to the ton. AS Jerne-
gan never claimed more than $1.27 to 400
tons, OF about four mills to the ton, he
says he sees no reason why the plant can
not be continued and be made profitable.

HOW SHERIDAN CAME.
Bangor Commercial


M. II. Andrews of Bangor, Maine, a
member of the band of the Twelfth Maine
Infantry. was witness of the termi-
nation of Sheridan's fam GUS ride.
That day, as Mr.. Andrews tells the
story, in his interesting way, the Eighth,
Nineteenth and Sixth Army Corps lay at
Cedar Creek, across the turnpike, in the
order named, after victorious career in
the Shenandoah valley. The rebels had
been soundly thrashed, many prisoners
had been taken, and it was believed the
Confederate forces had generally with
drawn from the locality. 1t was early
one foggy morning, between and 5
O'Clock. that the three corps along the
front of the army were awakened by
desultory firing out in front of the
Eighth.
II was in the Nineteenth Corps with
my regiment" says Mr.. Andrews, land
we heard the firing. We suspec ted
that the rebels had appeared in small
force on our left front, and didn't realize
that the rascals had come up in the night
and the fog of the early day, and were
whipping the Eighth out of their camp
half dressed.
In few minutes, though we could see
nothing, VIC knew that the trouble was
great, and soon the men of the Eighth
corps came streaming across the fields in
our rear, coatless and without arms, just
as they had been surprised from their
tents by the advance of the rebels. Below
us and to our rear we could see the
Eighth Corps flying across the field like
MAD. with the rebels close in their rear.
The men were shouting as they ran, and
the sight was wild.
battery was coming up in front of us,
and the rebel infantry as it chased the
Eighth, was fast closing in our rear.
Still we had no orders. AT length our
brigade commander ordered us to charge
thesrebel infantry. and we did SO, why,
/ do mot know. Our thin little line faded
away before the advance of the enemy,
who was not checked by our attempts to
stop them.
"We broke and ran. 1t was q case of
rush to see who would get to the rear
first. Away back OF us on the hills lay
some of our troops In force, and we ran
that way. The Eighth Corps still hold
our right but the center was in total
flight. Taking a roundabout course, be-
fore I knew it l was far away from our
lines, and until four o'clock that after

"rhe troops were then in retreat before
the rebel advance, but only a few minutes
after arrived Sheridan came gatloping
down from Winchester. You know the
story. Sheridan had been to Washington,
feeling secure in the belief that we could
continue our victorious course down the
valley. He was on his way back to the
front when, at Winchester, he began to

loose horses running into his camp told
the story plainly. :,
