4 Majority Of Fifty Against Adoption
of the Resolution.

Washington, Feb. 1.-The house Of
representatives on Monday buried the
Teller resolution declaring the bonds Of
the United States payable in silver un-
der an adverse majority Of 80 votes.
The republicans were solidly arrayea in
opposition. with two exceptions, Mr..
Iinney On. CO, who voted with the
democrats and populists, and Mr.. White
On. ca. the only colored member of the
house who answered present when
his name was called. The assertions
from the democratic side were Mr. Nc
Meer (Fa) and Mr.. Elliott Is. @.
Both voted with the republicans against
the proposition. Speaker Reed, nj
though it is not customary for him to
vote. had his name called, and amid the
cheers Of his followers went on record
in opposition to the resolution.
rive Hours Debate.
The vote was reached after five hours
of debate under special order adopted
at the opening of the session Monday.
The limited time allowed for debate and
the pressure of members for 10 oppor-
tunity to he heard was so great that the
leaders on both sides were compelled to
farm out the time by minutes. This de-
tracted much from the continuity Of
the discussion. but it also in measure
intensified the interest in the galleries,
which were crowded all day, and the
combatants on the floor were checrcd

LOCAL POLITICS.
The Situation in Wards Five and
Seven.

The Republican caucus in Ward will
be as harmonious as Quaker meeting
as far as the nomination of an alderman
goes. Mr.. William H. Dow, who has
served this ward as councilman for
several terms is the only candidate for
this position and he will undoubtedly re-
ceive the undivided vote of the CAUCUS.
There are many candidates for the
lower bonrd and as all of them have the
backing of many friends the result will
be in doubt until the voters are counted.
Councilman George5E. Smith, who has
served one term, will undoubtedly be re-
turned from this strong Republican ward.
President of the Common Council, Har-
ry r. Virgin, does not desire to be re-
turned to the lower board where he has
served with so much credit to himself
as It's presiding officer during the past
year. This leaves two vacancies to be
filed by new men. Those mentioned for
these positions are Everett r. Josselyn,
Walter Fl. Brown and Charles p. Cos
tello and Herbert S. Dyer.
Only land slide Of Republican ex
| termination pestilence can make Ward
5 Democratic, but for all this there will
be aDenlocrat ticket in thesfeli. This will
probably be as follows: For alderman,
William M. Ingraham; councilmen, Geo.
G. Edwards Geo. r. W. Thaxter and
Arthur e. Spaulding.
In Ward the fight for the Republican
nomination as alderman is going fiercely
onward. Neither party is making very
much talk, but they are ''sawing
wood" all the time. 1t is not a bitter
tight by any means, as some of the DEM
ocratic papers would have us believe, but
simply trial of strength by two very
strong men. Councilman Fred N. May
berry's supporters are confident that on
dermanic honor, while the friends of
Councilman Winfield S. Smith are
equally certain Of the result. AS q mat
ter of fact neither party can estimate its
strength. Ex-Councilman Charles E.
Snow has been put forth as candidate
within the last week or so, and though
he has entered the arena late in the con-
test his friends are doing all they can to
secure his nomination.

while the other candidates are: Lewis
A. Cloudy, Maurice G. Rich, Herbert o.
(! Phillips, James II. Fox, William ID.
Sawyer Arthur Z. Moulton and Geo.
Il. Kavanaugh. With this array of can
dates there will undoubtedly be hot

In Ward 1 the oontending factions
among the Republicans have effected
compromise of some kind, but just
what the nature of this compromise is
it is not stated. Wilson Sprague, now a
councilman, will be the successor of AL
derman Frederick j. Ilsley, who has
served two terms in the upper board.
Elmer E. Gerrish will also be returned
to the l,wer board without opposition.

Fisherman Puritan Arrives and Reports
the Loss of One Man.

The Gloucester fishing schooner Puri-
tan, Captain E. Geel, arrived here yester-
day forenoon with a large American flag
tying in her port main rigging at half
mast, signal of death on board This
schooner was off shore when the terrible
hurricane of Monday night swspt the
coast and she lost overheard one member
of her crew and came very near losing
three more.
Three weeks ago last Monday the Puri-
tan sailed out of Gloucester with crew
of 10 men bound on fishing cruise. On
January 26 the schooner was off the south
eastern part of Browns banks where she
remained fishing until Monday last
Late in the afternoon CT that day the
storm came up and in an hour the

Godet. who were on deck were swept over
board by tremendous sen. The otter
men who were on deck at the time seized
whatever ropes they could lay their hands
to and hove them overheard towards the
poor wretches who were sinking from
sight in the dark sea- Three of the men
succeeded in reaching the lines and were
pulled on board the schooner again after
struggle. Joseph Godet could not be
reached and was drowned. Such a sea
was running at the time that it was i'm
possible to do anything to save the man
and probably, encountered as he was with
his heavy oil skins, he sank as soon as he
struck the water. The drowned sailor
hailed from Arichat, IN. S., where he
leaves wife and six small children. He

the Puritan succeeded in running before

day she reached Portland. The crew was
only too thankful to get into port, but
they lost nearly all Of their gear and the
i results of their weeks of work. Thurs

looked as if it had come from some

THE UNCLE JOE SAFE.
She weathered the Gale and Brought
Back Her Crew Ali Well After Terrible
Experience.

The houses on Orr's island were 1lluml-
mated last night and the whole population
of the island turned out to welcome
home the crew of the fishing schooner
Uncle Joe, which had been almost given
up as lost in the big gale. Tt was q
gala night on Orr's island and in every
household prayers of thanksgiving were
offered for the safe return of the fisher
men.
Great anxiety has been felt for the
safety of the Uncle Joe. 1t was known
that she went off to the Wood island
ground on Monday morning last for a
fishing cruise and as the days passed and
nothing was heard from her it was feared
that she might have gone down with all
on board There was rejoicing along the
water front yesterday forenoon when this
staunoh little schooner, covered with ice
and showing the effects of her terrible
experience, sailed into port. James Huff,
a member of the crew of the Uncle Joe,
told the following story of the gale
through which the vessel passed:
"On Monday we reached the Wood ISL
and fishing grounds and got out our gear.
In the afternoon it began to snow hard
and the wind came up with such fury
that Capt. Brigham decided that it was
unsafe to attempt to save any OF the
The vessel was put about and run for
Portland Head. At 6 O'Clock it was
very thick and the sea was terrible. The
wind hauled around to about east south
east so that when we were within about
three miles off Portland Head we deemed
it unsafe to attempt to make the port,
and hauled around with two doubled
reefed sails and scudded before the gale.
When we had run about 20 miles in this
way it got SO rough that none of us ever
expected to get through the storm alive.
The schooner was put under three reefed
foresail and laid up intostbe wind where
she rode out the gale. Every sother sea
broke plump over her and the fish pens
with all they contained were washed
overheard and the forehouse started. The
lee rail was under water all night and
the vessel was SO badly strained that the
oakum was started and she began to leak
badly. man was kept at the pump
all the time, but we got through it some
how, I don't know just how. Tie schoon-
er drifted to leeward SO fast that we went
fully 80 miles off thu coast When we
hauled in for shore on Tuesday we
picked up the high lands of Cape Cod
about dark and got here today. Each
member of the crew lost about 500 worth
of gear and there were ~ of us all told.
I was out in the terrible gale of Septem-
Der, 1869, and it did not begin to equal
that of Monday night in fury. No man
on board the Uncle Joe expected to see
| Portland again.
| The crew of the Uncle Joe was given a
free passage to Orr's island by the Harps-
we'll steamboat company, and on their
arrival at their homes there was joyous
time on the old island which was made
famous by Harriet Beecher Stowe.

The fire boat was out all the afternoon
breaking ice in the harbor. Captain
Goud reports the ice to be very thick and
strong. The fire boat plows through it
with ease however. All of the docks are
more or lees iced up and the tow boats

NoN-ALcoHoLlc MEDICATION.
Subject Discussed by Physicians Before
Portland W. c. T. U.

The large double parlors of the Port
land W. G. Z. U. headquarters were
taxed to their utmost capacity yesterday
afternoon. The announcement that the
meeting would be devoted to the con-
sideration of Non. Alcoholic Medication
brought together this unusually large
number who listened with great interest
and profit to the able discussion of the
subject by Drs. Titus and Dyer. DIR.
Hersom was to have taken part in the
discussion but owing to the alarming
illness of a:patient was unable to be
present.
DR.. Titus's paper which opened the dis
cussion was an able, candid statement OF
the writer's views on the subject In
certain diseases the use Of alcohol would
be positive injury to the patient. In
others of different nature she would
prescribe 1t in small amounts.
Physicians should use great care in
prescribing it In cases of long illness. and
especially for persons with an inherited
appetite for it lest by long continued use,
the appetite became more strongly fixed
and permanent inebriety result.
DR.. Florence Dyer, who was introduced
as the candidate of the Woman's Council
for school committee, followed DR.. Titus,
and took up about the same line OF argu-
ment that she did. She does not believe
in the indiscriminate use of alcohol, but
feels sure that in certain cases it is neces-
o,,-, TO-, +ho ,,-oearvo tior of life Arpu-
ments showing that physicians were being
more and more aroused to the dangers at
tending it's use were made by several
members present. One lady said that it
had been proven after many years of re-
search by many of the wisest physicians
in this and other countries that alcohol
was not a heat producing agent, as its
advocates claimed, but that it reduced the
temperature invariably, and in cases Of
great physical depression its use was a
positive danger. Neither was it to be
recommended to strengthen weakened
constitutions as it always left the patient
in worse cordition. 1t is a we'll known
fact that athletes while in training are
not allowed any form of alcohol, as it in
variably weakens the vitality, making
ths muscles fiaccid and unable to perform
assigned tasks.
Another lady spoke of the temperance
hospital in Chicago Were no alcohol is
used. Many hundreds of patients have
been carried there by various schools OF
physicians, and the published statistics
show that the death rate is only a trifie
over three per cent, while in hospitals
where alcohol is used it is much larger.
Personal experiences were given by many
ladies' who though at various times in
cases of great illness had been advised by
physicians to use brandy and various
forms of liquor, had resorted to other
remedial agents, with most gratifying
results This subject will be continued
| in future meeting and no doubt will
bring out considerable valuable discus
sions. The meeting was most interesting
and ably presided over by Miss Mary Bis
hop of Congress street.
