General William S. Mudgett.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
Springs revives ane W the remembrance of
some local and national history that seems
to call for particular mention at this time.
At the first breaking out of the civil war
Gen. Mudgett left lis school teaching and
with his brother, l. Parker Mudgett, and
three Stockton boys, joined the Second
Maine regiment, " hich was the first Maine
regiment to reach the front. At the first
battle Of Bull Run both Mudgetts were
taken prisoners by the Black Horse cavalry,
but with d very innocent unconcern and
some Yankee gall, under the very eyes of
their captors they quietly "sldled" bit to
few Virginia trees, which they managed to
get in range of the black horses. then back
ed to the near woods and made very fast
time to Washington. rejolnlng their regiment
as good as new. He continued IN the army
of the Potomac and was in all McCl6lIan's
battles from Yorktown to the James River.
By his own merits he had been promoted
from the ranks, and at this time he accepted
the colonelcy Of a regiment and joined
Banks army in Louisiana. For heroic
+ conduct at the siege of Port Hudson he
was brevetted Brigadier General. In this
eanacitv he remained in the South until
two wears after Lees surrender when, in
March 1867, he was discharged. dis brother
Parker had also risen from the ranks to
colonelcy and was killed in the last battle OF
the war, some days after Lees surrender,
leading his regiment in storming the forts
at Mobile. This unnecessary battle, and Col.
Mudgetts lamented DEATH came from lack
of communication between Washington and
Mobile After his discharge from the army
Gen. Mudgett went to Shreveport La, and
was nominated for Congress from that dis
trict but the shot gun murders OF the ku
Klux. of course, prevented his election.
Union men at that time Were shot down by
hundreds. Compelled thus to leave Shreve-
port he was for some years in the New Or
leans custom house, then bought planta
ton on the Red River; where he was post
master at the new office at Bedford until his
disabilities, contracted in the Port Hudson
swamps, had become so severe that he was
compelled to come north.
And so, one after another, the soldiers of
the great civil war pass on over the mystic
river into the Christian Valhalla, where
Give hundred doors and forty more"
shall open to those heroes who may talk
over anew their battles and their victories
that have made possible the liberties and
strength of our reunited country; blessings
alike for Maine and Louisiana, for Oregon
and the Philippines.
t Our present united country! whose recent
victories, not OF the north nor of the south,
but of both north and south, have so WIDEN
ed our domain and established our influence
among the nations. S. A. RENDELL.

Schooner Yale Wrecked.
Crew Saved by the Rockland Schooner Jose
Olaverri.

Crew Saved by the Rockland Schooner Jose
Olaverri.
New YORK, Nov. 5, 1899. Rescued from the
American schooner Yale, doubly wreck by
the tempest and by collision with an un-
known steamship, to which she had looked
for help, Capt. Coombs and his crew of seven
men were brought to this port to-day by the
schooner Jose Olaverri, which left Savan-
nah Oct. 90, day after the Yale left there,
with lumber for Washington. Joseph Pagan.
a negro, one of the crew, told to-day of the
wreck and the rescue:
Caught in the tempest of Monday last, the
Yale was overwhelmed. One after another
her sails were blown away, until she could
no longer be controlled, and when night fell
she lay rolling in the trough of the sea, her
deckload breaking from its fastenings and
whirled into the air by the gale or across the
decks by the breaking seas.
Carried time and time again nearly on her
beam ends by the weight of her masts the
schooner rolled along, and Capt. Coombs, to
save her from capsizing, ordered the masts
cut away The weather rigging Of the main
and miZzen masts was cut and they went by
the board at the next roll.
Capt. CoOmbs, who was helping his men
IN the forerlgglng was struck by falling
spar and thrown to the deck. 4 mass of
wreckage pinned him down and his men
him at last, and he climbed again into the
rigging.
Under the fury of the waves and the strain
of the cargo atloat in the hold the schooner's
seams began to open, and she was apparently
breaking up rapidly when the lights Of
steamship were seen. They indicated that
the vessel was bearing down upon them, and
it was thought that she must have discover
ed the schooners distress in spite of the
darkness of the night and the tempest.
The men gave a cheer, but, as they re-
called afterward, made no other signal of
warning or distress. Not a light on the
schooner was burning. The steamship
crashed at full speed into her after.quarter
heeled the schooner over, and came to a
standstill. A lookout ran forward ON
the steamships deck and looked down at
them.
what schooner is that?" was the
hail.
The Yale. Help, take US off OF stand by
until morning." was the answer.
There We're calls from the lookout to the
bridge of the steamship, then she backed
away from the wreck, steamed ahead
rounded her bows and disappeared in he
darkness.
Although hole more than five feet across
had been cut in the schooner's side, and
extending below her waterhne, the cargo of
lumber kept her afoat. The storm moder-
ated on Tuesday, and although without food
or water. the crew regained hope. The
schooner Jose Olaverri saw their signals of
istress on Wednesday morning, and, bear
ing down to their rescue, took them off.

A Libel Suit Dismissed.

November Sd Judge Webb i'll the U. S.
District court at Portland gave hearing on
the libel filed by Eugene Morvan of Port
land vs. f. L. Whittier of Kennebunk mas
ter of the schooner Olive t. Whittier, in
which the libellant alleges that while acting
as seaman on the Whittier, in 1896, he in
iured his left hand with a sail needle. After
ward, he says, and while his hand was in a
sore and infiamed condition, he was COM
PEELED to labor on the schooner, aggravating
the injury to such an extent that amputa-
ton was necessary when they reached New
York on the return trip. The defence ad-
mitted the injury, but denied that it was
afterward aggravated by the libellant being
compelled to improper labor, and alleged
that aggravation of the wound was due to
his own carelessness and improper conduct.
Judge Webb dismissed both ibels with
costs, stating that the master of the vessel
was in no way responsible for the I'M uri es
received.

How Our Cat Jumps

VIM NJ. Pratt, proprietor of the New York
store, has very handsome coon cat, as well
as one with a wonderful record for a stand
ing (or sitting) jump. Pussy was sitting on
the walk in front of the storewhen some doves
alighted in the street. The cat looked at
them for awhile, then gathering himself he
sprang out into the street, landing fair and
square on the back of one of the doves, and
setting his teeth into the birds back killed
it almost instantly; then the cat ran under
the sidewalk with the dove in his mouth
and ate it at his leisure. Several persons
saw the cat jump, and measured the dis
tance, making it little over twenty two
feet. Harrington Chronicle,
