DUBLIN, Nov. 21.-The election to-day
in the Parliamentary contest in Galway
between Colonel Arthur Lynch, who
fought as a colonel in the Boer army, and
Horace Plunkett, Unionist, resulted in a
victory for the former by the following
figures: Lynch, 1247; Plunkett, 473.
On the whole the polling was conducted
with comparative orderliness. A large adj
ditional force Of police prevented numer-
Gus street scrimmages, which were the
outcome of drunkenness, from developing
seriously. Women were conspicuous in
these affairs and many of them were ar
rested.
In the event Of Colonel Lynch's election
being Quashed on the ground that he is a
traitor Plunkett says he will decline to
take the seat thus reverting to him, de-
claring that he will be returned straight
or not at ALL Colonel Lynch's friends
seem satisfied that Plunkett will attempt
to take the seat

Ferry Accident Case.
At the April term OF the supreme judicial
court, 1900. Aionzo p. Cakes. administrator
of the estate of his wife, who lost her life
at the Mount Desert Ferry accident on
Sunday, Aug, 6, 1899, was awarded a ver-
dict of g 500 against the Maine Central
Railroad co. BY the terms OF rescript
which was received by Charles f. Sweet,
clerk OF courts for the eastern law district,
last Thursday, unless Mr.. Cakes returns
all over $500 within thirty days of the
fling of the rescript, new trial will be
granted. This is, in effect, ruling that
the verdict of the jury was q 900 in excess
of What it should have been.
The Cakes case was one OF the few suits
OF damages resulting from the Mount
Desert Ferry accident which ever came to
trial, the larger part of the claims having
been settled out of court. w. b. Pierce
appeared for the plaintiff and Charles F.
Woodward for the defense. After the ver-
dict for 1880 had been rendered Mr..
Woodward made motion for a new trial

for Its Hospitality.

Free.hearted hospitality"

Free.hearted hospitality"
BLUEHrLL. Feb 20 Especially when a
house has served successive generations as
home for nearly century; when, during
that long period OF years, It's doors have
ever been open, and a cordial welcome
given to almost mum berless guests, many
OF whom have entered he Fathers house,
and yet, many OF whom, scattered in
various parts OF our own and, and in other
lands, recall the pleasures enjoyed at that
fireside; why should not a few simple,
truthful words be written as a memorial
to the various scenes of Joy and sorrow,
Of greeting and parting, of festivity and
bereavement which have transpired be-
meath that roof?
The house known as "Unele Amos
Aliens" was built by his father, Rev.
Amos Allen. many years ego. 1t was
two story house facing the street; large
made it a commodious house. 1t was all
finished and well furnished. 1t was To-
Gated near the town boundary line, being
in Bluehill, but only a mile from North
Sedgwick. 1t was the home OF David j.
Allen (the only son of "Uncle Amos'')
until his death four years ago. His wife,
a daughter OF the late Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Hinckley, continued to occupy it with her
son Fred and daughter Sadie.
Monday morning, Feb, IL, a fire got
started some way in the chambers Of the
main house, and when discovered was
bursting through the roof. With the
high wind prevailing, not hing could be
done to save the house, as the only avail
able help was that OF Edwin Allen and
boy working at George Aliens. The
roads we're impossible TO teams ON account
OF snow, but grandson of Mrs. Allen,
son of S. II. Dority, was sent Sup the
hills" for help, and crew OF twenty-five
soon. reached the place, and even from
Sedgwick, a distance OF three and a half
miles, help arrived before the house fell
in. There being good supply of water
handy, the large stable, barns and other
outbuilings were saved, although one
barn caught fire three times.
Not very much could be saved from the
house. OF seven chamber sets, not even
one bedstead was rescued. A quantity OF
bedding and eliot hing was piled in what
was supposed to be a place OF safety, but
the wind blew some OF the burning
shingles onto the articles and they were
all consumed by the flames.
But little aside from the memory OF the
old house remains OF what was so long
hospitable, happy home; but the family
have comfortable quarters in a part of
Edwin Aliens house and they have not
been forgotten In their great loss. Mrs.
Allen and her son ana daughter appre-
eiate the many acts of kindness and help,
which their neighbo have bestowed, and
the sympathy which has expressed itself
in most substantial form from friends far
and near.
Mr.. Allen is cutting tim Der for the frame
of new house which he intends to build
on the site of the old one during the COM
ing summer.
