ing from Portland, Me-, for Philadelphia
has four feet of water in her hold and pumps

Bath, Me-, Feb. 10th. The shipbuilding
firm of Arthur Sewall & Co., which closed
hundredth ship since 1928, has stretched the
keel for their first ship for this century
In recognition of Senator Frye's cOnspicu-
GUS service to the American merchant ma
rine, this vessel, a ur-masted steel ship of
the largest size, will be named William P.
Frye. Senator Frye has accepted the COM
pliment, and the ship will probably be
launched in October.
Boston,, Feb. Is. The three masted
schooner Lucy W. Snow, which sailed from
St. Michaels, Nov. IS, for this port, with
lost. Nothing has been heard from her since
she sailed. Capt Hussey, the commander
of the vessel, belongs in Providence. The
crew were shipped at this port before the
vessel left here. 1t is understood the vessel
also carried super-cargo which would
make 10 all told on board. The Lucy
W. Snow was formerly a brig and for
years engaged in the trade between this
port and the west coast of Africa. She was
built in Rockland, in 1869. P. Weeden of
Providence was the owner.
Boston, Feb. IS. Apparently there is to
be a boom in the shipbuilding industry at
East Boston. A contract has just been
awarded to William McKie for the construc-
ton of a double-decked four-masted schoon-
| er for John S. Emery & Co. of this city and
others, and it is also understood that Brooks
shortly will commence work on large five
masted schooner and four-master at his
Harbor View yard. The keel for the vessel
to be built by NIcKie will be stretched as
soon as the steamer now in course of con-
struction there for New Shoreham parties is
launched. This schooner will be first
class vessel in every respect, having an oak
and hard wood bottom and hackmatack top.
She will be completed early in August

"THE SEARsPoRr HONE CLUB" An
nouncement. At meeting of the Club,
held recently at the headquarters, 551 Broad
way, Everett, it was unanimously voted to
hold the celebration Of Old Home Week at
Searsport beginning with Sunday, August
4th. Arrangements are to be made for
transportation, regarding which the COM
mittee appointed for that purpose is to re-
port at date in the near future. 1t is the
intention of the Club to start from Boston
Aug. Sd, Saturday, and bring all the folks
with us. Notice will be sent to every former
resident of the town, and an opportunity
given to be one with us. Should any one
fail to receive such notice, it is the desire OF
the committee that application be made at
once to Miss Hannah B. Ford, IS haywood
Street, Roxbury, who will see that such
names are entered upon the books OF the
Club. 1t is thought that there may be $50
or more reckoned upon as likely to make
the pilgrimage, and should the interest be
anything like that shown at the recent BAN
quet at the Quincy House it will no doubt
tax the capacity of the steamer to care for
such multitude of ''home- comers." The
celebration this year will be confined to two
days, or parts of two days, as it is now be-
ing considered-an afternoon and evening
for a reception and ball; day for clam
bake, and the remainder of the week for
general enjoyment, visiting, renewing old
acquaintance, reviewing old associations,
with good cheer and hearty welcome for
all. 1t is intended to have our own orators
and speechmakers, of which there seeming
ly should be no lack, with such splendid
array of clergymen and men eminent in
other professions to draw from. The plans
of the Club thus far are subject to change.
and suggestions are in order as to what
will afford the best results for the largest
number. There are no factions or cliques
in this movement, but all are working har-
moniously, and equally for grand gather
ing Of home people, The announcement
of the date at this time enables all who
wish to to make their plans for the summer
vacation so as co include cold Home
Week" Later the committee will be able
to report more in detail. Meanwhile let us
keep the story going that Searsport is the
incest little town in the world, and its peo-
pie the best on earth. E. B. BILLINGS.

A WONDERFUL INVENTION. For the
past few days there has been on exhibition
in c. Fl. Monroe's factorya most wonderful
little steam engine, designed by Mr.. Mon
roe. 1t is called compound Oscillating en-
CINE, and is controlled by one lever, attach
ed to valve, the valve giving steam and
controlling the exhaust. By the slightest
up to an average of 400 revolutions per
minute on 90 pounds of steam. When the
same lever is brought back to center the
engine Immediately stops, and, continuing
it Immediately reverses with the same speed.
This engine weighs 1C0 pounds. There are
no sliding valves, no eccentric, no springs,
no complicated parts, and it readily does
the work of any ordinary steam engine. 1t
runs the machinery in Monroe's ring factory
with as apparent ease as his 1O5 horse power
stationary engine, and handles a cutting
off power for manufacturing stove wood
with perfect ease. Mr.. Monroe was at work
on this design about IS months, and perfect
ed it last August. He sold part interest to
VIM. E. Grinnell of Searsport and Henry
B. Black of Everett, Mass, and together
they applied for patent at Washington,
which was allowed in November. Since
then they have had the engine built. The
castings were made by Knowlton Bros. Of
Camden, Me-, and the engine was put to
gether in the machine shop of Geo. T. Read
of Belfast, under supervision Of Mr.. Mon
roe. This engine was specially designed
for an automobile, but the patent was
allowed to cover automobiles, steam yachts,
etc.

Convicted of Forgery In Connection
With Soldiers Homestead Lands.
MEMPHIS, Oct. 10. A Scimitar spe-
cial from Helena, Ark, says:
John H. Ham, alias D. May, was to-
day convicted in the federal court of
forgery in connection with the soldiers
additional homestead lands in two cases
and sentenced by Judge Jacob Irieber
TO three years in prison in Fort Leaven-
worth penitentiary and to pay fine Of
$3.50 i'll each case. This is the first con-
vlction ever secured in the United
States courts for such an Offense.
There are pending nine other indict-
menUs in this state, the frauds having
been practiced very extensively in this
state and in Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Never before has the gov
ernment been able to convict The case
is regarded by the several government
land officers here in attendance upon it
as the most important that has been run
down in years.
