The high tides Of the past week have
been pushing with great force against
the log dam at Winnegance and the
mill owners there feared as they al
ways do. when high tides prevail.
Their fears We're well founded. this
time, for on the morning tide "A large
hole was washed i'll the dam. 1t was
al the Obediah Trask mill where tho
break occurred. some of the piIing Civ
ing way, making a hole mite feet long
and seven feet wide through which a
perfect flood of water rushed. gradual
ly weakening that part Of the dam on
either side of the break. Crews of men
at once commenced the work Of repair
ing the break and 1t will BE- several
days before the dam can be made
whole again. While repairs are being
made the several mills which have been
saving will have II shut down.-Bath

1T Tow lllt tIttc-
masted schooner Thomas n. Holder of
Liverpool, n. s., Capt. Mcdonald, while
sailing UP the river, went ashore at
Fiddler's Reach. The vessel was bound
to this city from Liverpool, n s.. with
$50 tons of pulp wood After having a
good passage to the mouth OF the river
Capt. Mcdonald thought he would at
tempt to sail up with the aid Of charts,
but hard luck seemed to come to tha
little craft for when they attempted to
come through the reach the southwest
wind died out and the ebb tide made
the vessel swing round; the anchor
was thrown overheard but failed to
catch and the vessel drifted on the
rocks. Here they remained until
drawn off. at $780, last night, by the
tug Perry. The Holder is at the Maine
Central wharf in q leaking condition:
after dscharging her cargo she will go
on the marine railway. This was Capt.
McDonald's first trip t. this city. ana
it is safe to say that he will not at
tempt to sail up agaiE.-Bath Enter
