News OF the Oranges.

One part of the program next Saturday
evening at Seaside Grange Will be nail
driving contest between nine sisters, who
viii see which can drive the greatest num-
Der of ten-penny wire nails into plank in a
specified time. Lots of fun and sore thumbs
are expected.
Silver Harvest Grange, Waldo, has adopt
ed the following resolutions:
Whereas the hand of Death has again en-
tered the ranks of our order and taken from
our midst our believe brother and Worthy
Master, Eugene E. Clements.
Resolved, That we the officers and mem
bers of Silver Harvest Grange shall ever
cherish a fond remembrance of our dear
brother, and in regrettlng his removal from
our number we mourn for one who was in
every way worthy of our esteem and
love, and while we mourn the severance of
another link in the fraternal chain we be-
lieye tnat brighter and more glorious life
has begun with our brother, an eternal life
in our heavenly grange where the fraternal
ties are never broken, where the songs of har-
vest time gladden., and where all is joy and
happiness.
Resolved That we trust their hearts may
be cbeered in their lonely homes by the
thought that in our fraternity they will
ever find friends and when done with earth
and It's cares they VIII again be united with
that loving band where death is unknown.
Resolved That in the death of our brother
his family has lost devoted husband and
father and the aged mother an affectionate
son, and our fraternity loved and worthy
member
No need of anxious watcher by his couch of suf-
ferng now;
No need of tender hands to cool his fevered throb-
bing brow,
No need of skillful doctors now to come with
muffled tread
The grand old patriots wants are gone, his noble
soul has fed.
Sleep Brother God rest thy soul, and let it lie in
peace,
Until the dawn of the great day when all earth
shall cease.
And if beyond this broken life better one is
found
May it be to you your fondest dream of happy
loving friends.
Resolved, That in loving remembrance OF
the deceased Brother our charter be draped
in mourning for sixty days.
Resolved, That copy of the resolutions
be sent to the bereaved family and be enter
ed on the records of our Grange and one sent
to each of the Belfast papers for publication

Flag Raising at Liberty.

The first flag to float over schoolhouse
in Liberty was raised over the one in the
lower part of the village Monday afternoon
Feb. 14th. The flag was presented by Rev.
Fl. W. Abbott and the staff and halliards
were furnished by A. A. Brown and Chas.
Cram. The school has been taught the past
year by Miss Mary A. Brown, and the very
creditable manner in which the scholars
performed their parts in the flag raising ex-
ercises was evidence that they had had ex-
cellent training. The program was as fol-
lows: Opening remarks by G. NJ. Howes,
superintendent of schools; singing, "Star
Spangled Banner" school invocation, Rev.
Fl. ". Abbott. Then came the address of
welcome by little Gladys Skidmore, six
years old, as follows:
Dear friends, we are glad you came. to-day
70 see US raise our flag 80 gay.
We thank Mr. Abbott who so kindly gave
The nag that soon DER this house will wave.
Our house is the first in town, you know,
The stars and strips above it to show.
And LOW | suppose that | must stop
There is such crowd of others to talk.
Then followed recitations, "Float the Flag
DER Every Schoolhouse," by Willie Smith
and "The Flower Of Liberty" by Helen M
Hurd. Remarks We're made by Messrs
Arthur Richie, VIM. Fl Moody, Rev. Fl. W.
Abbott, DR.. c. c. Whitcomb, Mrs. Whit
comb, Mrs. Frank Hurd. j. o. johnson,
George Smith and A. A. Brown. The flag
was raised by little girl, Miss Geneva

WHAT MR.. DUNN SAYS,

Mr.. Dunn has given out an interview in
which he explains at length the causes
which brought him into insolvency. He
said:
1.-The purchase of the Pennsylvania Mid
land bonds is what has involved me so very
heavily, and is the principal cause of the
move l have been obliged to make during
the last week l was also signer on notes
with other people who did not, or could not,
take care of their portion, which all came
on me. l was on paper with two men for
Sl7 ,5OO, who are both dead and the admins
traitors of their estates have refused to ad.
vance dollar, thus throwing the whole on
me.
"The greater part of Petit Menan indeb5-
edness is secured by the choicest parts OF
that property.
There have been two meetings of my
creditors held within the past three months
and with the exception OF only two of the
small creditors, there was an unanimous ex-
preston in favor of allowing my notes to
stand until l could realize on my Penn
sylvania Midland securities, which had
been pledged collateral for a large
amount of loans.
AT the second meeting it was decided,
at their request, that if it became necessary
because of the action of the two small
creditors, to settle in insolvency, should
file the petition instead of being petitioned
in by my creditors. These two small credi-
tors refused to discontinue their suits
against me. The larger one of the two
agreed to release his attachments, upon the
condition that | should either assign or go
into insolvency within so days. The other
pressed his suit, secured judgment against
me, took out an execution and cited me to
disclose. This rendered it necessary that
insolvency steps should be taken at once
and in accordance with the request pre-
viously made by my creditors, [, myself
filed the petition.
"In the list of liabilities there was all
that | had endorsed, large portion of
which will be taken care of by others.
when all is settled and the collateral
| disposed of, there will not, in my opinion,
remain unpaid over 10 per cent. of the total
liabilities, as shown by the schedule filed.
"Tais matter has been a continual night
mare to me for two years. 1 have been pay
ing nearly $6, 200 year interest money and
my collateral, the Lockwood stock and the
Pennsylvania Midland securities, have not
paid cent of interest to me to help me
along in meeting my interest when it cam e
due"

A Visit to the National Capital.

The Rollins School party which went
from Lawrence, Mass, to Washington,
D. C., included sixty-four, and among them
were three former Belfast people-Mr. and
Mrs. F. w. Chase and Miss Isabel Robbins
From personal letter from one of the party
we are permitted to take the following: I'VE
had lovely time and everything went off
very successfully. The weather was ex-
tremely cold for Washington, only 14o above
nearly every morning we were there, We
were quartered at the Vendome, which is
near the capitol and where we had pleasant
rooms. Sunday morning quite number of
us Went to the Methodist church where
President Mckinley attends He passed up
the aisle near which we sat an / at the close
OF the service every one was requested to re-
main standing until he passed out; so we
had good view of him. Monday morning
we started on our sightseeing tour. We
visited the capital and the new Congression-
al Library. The latter is simply magnificent
1t is called the most beautiful building III
the world, and | can hardly see how any
thing can be more beautiful. l went there
twice, as l enjoyed that more than some
other things. 1t is very interesting to be in
Washington when Congress is in session.
We met Congressman Knox, who is from
Lawrence, and he got us into the Senate
and House. We were given an opportu-
nifty to shake hands with Speaker Reed
and Vice President Hobart through the
intercession of Mr.. Knox and MIR. Fitz-
gerald from the Boston District MI Reed
was very nice and made little speech
to us. We considered it quite an honor to
be able TO see him i'll dis pri. ate Iuv11 as
also the vice president. We were introduc-
ed to Senator Lodge. They were discussing
the Teller resolution in the House and it
occasioned exciting debate and the gal
leries were crowded. Some of us staid
until the vote was taken and the House ad-
journed. The snow interfered with our
trip to Mt Vernon, for the electrics could
not run, so we visited some Of the depart
ment buildings and the Corcoran Art Gal
lery. The President gave us a special recep-
tion and Mr.. Chase, as the head of the party
had the honor of Introducing the party and
had a little conversation with him after
the others had passed out He was very
pleasant. We went to see the East room of
the White House, which was beautifully
decorated for a great reception the night be-
fore. While we We're there Mr.. Fitzgerald
happened in aud after going through lot of
red tape" got a permit for about fifteen
of us to go through the other rooms, which
are not open to the public A few of us
Went back to the Treasury building ana
TINS same gentleman got us a permit to 20 IN
" the vaults, l lifted j bag Of 50 gold pieces
worth $1,000 and also held IL million Of
$1,000 bonds in my hand, but was not any
better off for it. | think we saw more than
most parties, for we Were specially fortunate
i'll having 50 many favors shown us

Schs. James Holmes and MarceIlus

But little of Importance in regard to the
wrecked schooners James Holmes and Mar
cellus has transpired the past week. Else
where we give some particulars from the
Cape Ann Advertiser. The tug Herald re-
ported Feb Sth passed the stern plankin G
with the name "Marcelus, Searsport," 20
miles sout heast by east from Highland light,
Cape Cod, toget her with considerable cargo
thought to have come from the Holmes.
Capt. G. f. Ryan has received some report
of progress from the wreck ers who are get
ting out the cargo of the III dimes. Pork,
lard, paint oils, and other tight barreled
goods are all right, as are also some other
articles which are not injured by water.
1t has been reported on the street that the
captains and mates of the vessels were pick
ed up by an outgoing steamer and are on
their way to England, but the story is with
out foundation.
John Sanborn circulated petition for the
benefit of the families of such of the sailors
as might need help, and to pay the expenses
Of bringing the bodies home. Subscriptions
to date amount to $500 Among the contri-
buttons was liberal donation of cash re-
ceived through the mail from an unknown
donor.

Refunding Accomplished.

$4,000 of the new per cent b",.Ja rx-
changed at Boston Feb. 18th.
1t was expected to make the exchange of
bonds in Belfast, but Story 4 Thorndike of
Boston, the city's legal advisors in the mat
ter, wished the first exchange made in Bos-
ton, and accordingly 100000 of the new 4
per cents, needing only the mayors sigma
ture to complete them, were sent to that
city by express, and Mayor Fletcher left for
Boston by the / 05 train Monday Tuesday
at the banking roous Of Detz, Denison 4
Prior, 35 Congress street, $4,000 of the new
i-peI cent. bonds were exchanged for a ike
amount of the per cent. bonds due next
August The city received IN premiums
the sum of s., S72 and instead of paying
per cent. next August as interest on this
S70,O00 only per cent will be paid a saw
ing of 500 to the city.
This transaction is an important one in
many ways 1t may be regarded as the
completion of the refunding plan adopted
by the present city government, and it takes
the city finances ont of politics for the next
twenty years. 1t will also enable the brok
ers to ill the advance orders they have re-
ceived for the new per cents. 1t is expect
ed to make arrangements for the exchange
of bonds in future in this city.
