Capt. W. T. Studley's sloop2 Annie
Belle, ten tons. and valued az about
5000, was laying Saturday on the easterly
side of Commercial wharf, and yesterday
morning when her captain, Nell MeLoud
went to the pier to get ready for his
fishing trip, he found the sioop miss
ing and saw the stern rope had beer
cut and part of it still tied to the pile.
Looking up the wharf the captain dis
covered that the Pinky. another vesse
belonging to Capt. Studley, was in a
dangerous position. Her stern line haC
been cut, the stern was under water, he1
bowsprit was over the. wharf and she was
filing with water. Capt. McLoud first
set to work to get the Pinky out of the
fix she was in, and then advised Capt
Studley of the missing sloop
The police authorities were notified and
messages sent to various points along the
coast.
About noon, however, word was re-
oeievd that A. g. Sterling of House isl

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Clash Between Companies in Deerins

Clash Between Companies in Deerfng.
The Cumberland Illuminating COM
pany, which has been trying for months
to get a chance to bid on Portland g new
street lighting contract, has at iasc
established foothold on Portland soil.
Lasu week 1t connected its Deerang
circuit with the residence of Arthur H.
Marks, in Fessenden park, and the service
wires of the Consolidated Electric Light
company, the Portland corporation. wers
ordered out. This seems like knockinu
a chip off the shoulder Of it's rival, and
the residents of tina, particular sena
of Portland have been expecting to see
a display of fireworks that would eetomd
the two cities. A gentleman connected
with the Consolidated Electric Lighs
company told reporter on Saturday that
the Cumberland Illuminating company
had been ordered to take its lights from
this house, but had not yet done SO.
ssThe Cumberland Illuminating com-
pany has no righr in Portland, said
this gentleman land it is probable that
legal steps may BIZ taken to prevent their
entering this CITY in this manner.

Services For Mrs. Ezekiel Dennis and
Miss Moron at st. stephens.

At St. Stephens church yesterday af-
ternoon was held service in memory OF
Mrs. Ezekiel Dennis and Miss Faith
Morong, two of the passengers on the
lost steamer Portland.
Rev. DR.. Dalton read the Introductory
portion of the burial service, and after
the choir had sung Cardinal Newman 8
LEAD. Kindly Light" he delivered an
address of consolation and commemora-
tion. He began by referring to the IA
milisr picture of the departure OF the
Mayfower after having landed the Pill
erins ON the shore Of Massachusetts bay
In the winter that followed half OF the
company she had brought over were
buried on the sands of Cape Cod. But
those who survived did not lose faith or
hone, while those who died, far away
from home and friends, did not suffer in
vain. Gods ways are not. our ways and
these great calamitous occurrences we
do not understand, but the time will
come when the light will shine. If we
had no hope of life beyond, our lot
would be sad indeed, but If be Christians
we know we shall find the grace of God
sufficient. We cannot always be in the
same state of mind. John the Baptist,
that eminent servant of God, could not
see why such Affections were sent upon
him. but he did not nurse his doubts,
but removed them in the right way.
DR.. Dalton quoted the conversation
between ST. Augustine and his mother In
relation to the difference between III
here and beyond the grave. Here there
must always be days Of darkness and
times of trial. There it will not be SO.
The Bible does not tell MS SO much about
the state of the dead as we sometimes
wish it did, but few things we can
gather. We know they are with God and
in a state of joy and felicity. The blessed
dead enjoy consciousness and individ-
uality. They have fitting employment
and we shall know them hereafter. They
are with us and interested in us more
warmly than ever. 1t is natural that We
should mourn for the departed. Jesus
wept over Lazarus, but God in His own
way is guiding all to a happy and glori-
GUS end.
| DR.. Dalton concluded his address by
touching illusions to the two whose death
was particularly being commemorated.
One was wife and mother, and woman
whose labors and sympathies extended
beyond her own family. She was good to
the poor. She was warm-hearted ana
despised meaness. The other lady was
not Of a Portland family. having but
| just removed here to assist in making
home for her mother, whose most inti-
mate companion she had been. For the
afflicted families he invoked sympathies
and prayers
Then the sentence of oommittal was
read end the customary prayers offered,
followed by the benediction. A large
congregation attended the service and
listened to DR. Dalton's encouraging
and consoling words.

SPAIN is SEEKING PEACE.
Commodore Watson will Soon Leave for
the Coast of Spain-Suuday's Bonn
bardment a Hot one.

Reports from Washington, dated July
18th, say the bombardment of Santiago
had been begun, and it is sail that
General Toral, who succe ,ded General
Lenares in command OF the Spanish
forces in Santiago when the latter was
wounded, had declined TO surrender un-
conditionally, aud that bombardment of
the town would DO begun, by both
army and navy, by four o'clock in the
afternoon. From four o'clock in the
afternoon until dark the American guns
again pc1.ed a deadly fire into the
Spanish lines. The men were greatly
refreshed from their three days rest
and fought with spirit The knowledge
of the arrival OF reinforcements gave
them enthusiasm. General Skaters
valuable forces are now about % 500
fighting men. This is based on an esti-
mate of $4,000 men in Skaters origi-
nal expedition, and about 10000 in
.rious expeditions which have gone
since, making in all $4,000 men.

The Spanish authorities have COM
menced improving the Notifications of
several of their coast cities, and the
habitants are seriously alarmed.
Unofficial overtures are said to have
been made through Premier Sagasta for
peace. He is said to have offered Gu
ban and Philippine independence, sub
ject to indemnity, but desired Spanish
and foreign occupation of certain parts
pending liquidation of indemnity. He
is also said to have offered Porto Rico
az security for payment of indemnity
and proposes the cost of the war to us
b. arbitrated. Despite offlsials denials
from Madrid that peace negotiations
are not being thought of, it seems quite
evident to the contrary.
