Correspondence,
The Australian Ballot.
SEDGwIcK, Oct. II, 1898.

SEDGwIcK, Oct. II, 1898.
To the Editor Of The american:
Anent the remarks that are going the
rounds OF the State press touching the
Australian ballot and its working in
this State, l am agreed as to its improve
ment over the old way; in my opinion
the trainers of the law did not go far
enough.
As has been remarked by some, a
spotter can tell to nicely IL a man votes
a split ticket, especially in a small country
town like this, where every mans politics
are known. The way the voting boot his
are arranged, II man wishes to put on
"sticker'', or "scratch" his ticket, any
one in the hall can see him mosten the
sticker before he affixes it, or writes the
"ot her fellows" name. l had occasion to
do the same once, and it was Immediately
so reported; not that 1 cared, but il we
are going to have secret ballot, let us
have 1t.
l would suggest to our "solons' who
shall assemble at Augusta next winter
that they amend the present law SO that
the booths shall be so erected that man
can go behind them, and out OF sight of
the crowd. The cost to arrange the
boot his as l suggest would be trifiing.
Let US hear from the rest OF the voters
o. P. CARTER.

American furniture is getting con-
troll of even such away markets as
South Africa. In a report to the de-
partment of state, Consul General j.
G. Stowe, at Cape Town, says the
value of American furniture imported
into South Africa in 1897 was 1854, :
1890, being second only to Great
Britain, and ahead of Germany, aud
that Americans can easily control the
market # our manufacturers will ship
their furniture ''knockdown'', and so
made that it can be put together
easily, numbering each corresponding
piece. Concluding, Mr.. Stowe said:
There is no fault with the prices
charged by American manufacturers,
even with the duty added; but it is
the excessive freights on account of
bulk, and the difficulty of putting to-
gether, shipped knockdown, of which
the dealers complain"

STEAMER "CIMBRIA" ASHORE.

Three Days on the Rocks at BASS Har-
bor-Saved.
The steamer "Cimbria", OF the Bangor
and Bar Harbor line, while trying to
make a landing at Bass Harbor Friday
morning, struck on a ledge near the
wharf. The steamer had slowed down
for the landing and was scarcely moving.
When within about fifty feet of the
wharf, Capt. Shute gave the signal 1.-TWO
bells) to back the engine, but the en-
gineer got only one bell and started
ahead. Before the mistake could be rec
titled the steamer was on the rocks.
Capt. Shute thinks that the bell wire got
caught, thereby preventing the engineer
getting the second bell.
The tide was falling when the steamer
went on the rocks, and it was feared from
her position that she would be total
loss. The steamer remained on the rocks
until Monday, when she was fioated and
towed to Bangor. 1t is estimated that
she was damaged to the extent of - 600.

Bucksport's Murder Mystery

Bucksport' murder mystery remains
unsolved. There has been evident in
Bucksport an air Of expectancy-a feeling
that a denouement was imminent-but as
yet Detective Odiin, who is still at work
on the case, has given no sign that such
expectation was well founded.
An important Development in the case
WIS the ii ,ding OF Mrs. Wares money in
he trunk at her home. This proves that
il Mrs. Ware was murdered for money
the murderer did not obtain the money
but it does not entirely remove a motive,
as the murderer, like the public in
general, may have believed the money to
be in the sat chel, which is still missing.

The camel Is beast of great strength and en-
duranee. Nothing hurts It until the proverbial
'last straw" Is added to it's burden. The hui
man digestive system is very much like a camel.
1t Is really astonishing how much abuse 1t will
stand. Sometimes, however, something worse
than usual will be eaten. and will go through
the stomach into the bowels, and there 1t will
stick-that's constipation. Nine-tenths of all
human sickness is due to constipation. Some
of the simplest symptoms are coated tongue and
foul breath, dizziness, heartburn, fatulence
sallowness. distress after eating, headaches and
lassitude A little thing will cause constipa-
ton, and a little thing will relieve 1t. Dr..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are certain cure for
constipation. They are tiny, sugar-coa gran
ules, mild and natural in their action. There Is
nothing injurious about them. Sold by drug

MT. DESERT BRIDGE.
A New Draw to be Put In aud Extern
siVe Repairs Made.


Mt. Desert toll bridge, from Trenton to
Mt. Desert island, is to be thoroughly
overhauled, and repaired; in fact. practi-
cally rebuilt.
The work will begin this week, and will
be pushed as rapidly as possible SO that
the bridge may not remain closed to ira ffic
longer than necessary. 1t is impossible
closed.
The improvements at the bridge will
include a swing draw which will take the
place Of the old hoist. 1t will leave an
opening thirty-five feet in the clear. The
draw has already been built at Bath, and
is on the way here together with pile
driving machinery. The new draw will
cost about 81, 100. The work will be done
by Carleton, of Bath.
1t will be necessary to build new piers
for the bridge, and much OF the old
bridge will be rebuilt. The bridge will
be the same width as at present.
The Mount Desert bridge has history.
sixty years. The first bridge was built in
1887 by Capt. William Thompson, OF Tren-
ton, and John NJ. Noyes, OF Mt. Desert
The bridge was built on cob work, with
ballast floors, covered with gravel. 1t
was 1000 feet long. The bridge cost
5000. A stock company was organized,
and the stock was divided in 100 shares of
$50 each. Twenty years ago the bridge
was rebuilt on piles, with plank floor.
For the past forty years 1t has been
under the management of K. X. Thomp-
son, who leases it from the company

Republican Success Probable.

Chairman Babcock, of the republi
can congressional campaign commit
tee, is getting good news these days.
Like Senator Hanna, he was until re-
Gently afraid that over-confidence
would keep SO many republicans at
might be lost. But from reports he is
now receiving, republicans in all sec
tons are becoming thoroughly alive
to the necessity of getting out the full
vote and keeping control of the
House, so that when the Senate be-
comes republican, as it will after the
fourth of next March, both branches
of Congress will be in a condition to
put through the necessary legislation
to carry out the domestic policy of the
administration, which will continue
the prosperity that the country is now
enjoying, as we'll as show the world
that the country is behind President
Mckinley in carrying out the new
foreign policy made necessary by the
ANot4lS VI VIC wal JdSl 40 ~ wac pC-
hind him in the conduct of the most
successful war in all history.
The country knows just what the
republican party offers it, both at
home and abroad, while nobody
knows what the democratic party
would give it, further than that dem
ocratic success would mean a renewal
of the uncertainties which were SO
disastrous to our commercial and in
dustrial interests during the last
Cleveland regime.
There has never been any doubt
during this campaign as to the feeling
of the majority of the voters; only
fear that a feeling of over security
might result in too many republicans
not taking sufficient interest to make
sure of success in the congressional
campaign.
Thanks to hard and intelligent work
on the part of the party leaders, that
fear is daily being lessened, and bids
fair 70 entirely disappear before cleo
ton day.

The presence in Europe of some of
the yellow correspondents who did
the taAest lying during the war with
Spain, accounts for many of the sem
sational stories from Paris about dead
locks in the peace commission, the
probability Of European interference
in the negotiation in behalf of Spain,
and other equally silly fakes. Eu
ropean Interference in behalf of Spain
might have been a serious thing in the
beginning OF the war, and there We're
really some reasons for fearing some
attempt of that sort, but, having let
that opportunity go by without ac-
ton, there is not the slightest reason
for expecting anything of the sort in
the peace negotiations. The United
States is not Turkey, and nobody
knows it any better than the European
potentates.
