Gently bought of Loranus Pendleton. Much

Smith of New York will occupy the pulpit
OF the Episcopal church, July 2sth. He
has very fine steam yacht. "A very sad
accident occurred9ast Saturday when Frank
Marshall, aged 80, was drowned in Gilkey's
harbor, by the shore of 700 Acre Island. He
was in the employ of Mr.. George Novel; of
Boston, whose summer cottage is near the
spot, and was engaged-Mr. Novel; assisting
HMM depositing in deep water large
rock, with cable attached, for mooring for
yacht. This heavy rock was fastened
with ropes to the middle of a piece of tim
Der, which was once an old mast, and each
end of the mast rested on boat. The men
rowed the boat to the spot desired, and as
they were about ready to unfasten the moor
ing and drop it, the mast broke in the mid
die, capsizing, filling and carrying down
both boats with the two men. They both
had on long-legged rubber boots, but Mr..
NOVEL; finally succeeded in swimming to
the shore in greatly exhausted condition.
Mr.. Marshall's body was recovered Sunday
forenoon, about "a hours after the accident.
He was unmarried and resided with his
mother and stepfather. His only sister,
when a young girl, died in Belfast, where
the family lived some years ago. Mr.. Mar
shall was one of the crew of schooner Fan
ME A. Gorham that about 1881 took off the
passengers of the steam ship Oregon that
sank near New York after c0lliding with a
coal laden vessel. On Monday afternoon,
July 22nd, while number of swimmers
were in the bathing pool at Dark Harbor,
which covers several acres, a young man,
Michael Wade, one of the porters at the Inn,
called for help, but his comrades, thinking
he was in fun, did not at first render him
assistance, as the young folks, while bath
ing, often play jokes on each other. But
later when they attempted to help, they
were unable to rescue him, either through
fear or lack of judgment, or both, and the
young man was drowned only few rods
from the shore in about six or eight feet of
water. The body was soon secured, but too
late to be resuscitated. Hundreds of people
were along the shore and in the street near
the pool, and the mirthfulness was speedily
changed to the solemnity and stiffness of
death.
Zinc and grinding double the wear.
