Steamer "City of Bangor has Mar
row Escape.
The steamer "City OF Bangor, with 125
passengers on board, which left Boston on
| its regular trip last Saturday evening, ran
into a dense fog early Sunday morning
| when off Monhegan, aud at 2 30 a. m.
struck on the lodges at the southeasterly
| end OF the island.
| The boat ran into sort OF cradle in
the rocks, and, by the aid OF It's search
| light, was seen to be almost on land. The
| steamers whistle was blown and an
-wered by the Mon hogan fog signal, and
| soon the iife-saving crew appeared. For
| tunsteiy their services we're not needed,
although eleven passengers who had gone
down the ladder were taken ashore.
| The ship did not make water very rap
Idly, and In three quarters of an hour
she slid of the ledge, aided by the rising
| tide.
There was no panic among the passen-
gers, as the shock OF the collision had
beer slight, and most OF them were I'M
| aware that any serious damage had been
done.
When of Spruce Head, II was found
that the water was rapidly filing the
lower hold, and that there was danger of
the fires being extinguisbed. The vessel
Was headed tor Crescent beach at Lobster
cove where she was besched. Word was
at once sent to Rockland and the steamers
mount Desert" and "Catherine" soon
| arrived.
| Tns passengers were transferred to the
mount Desert" and part OF the cargo
OF freight, while the catherine took a
portion OF the cargo to Rockisnd.
On arrival at Rocklsnd the "Cstherine''
took the passengers for Bangor. When
of Belfast at 3 p. m, the "Cstherine's''
| propeller dropped from the shaft, and the
passengers were taken to their desti-
nation on the "City OF Rockland" which
| had been summoned from Boston.
The tug "Rslph Ross", OF Bangor, ar
rived from Bucksport Sunday afternoon,
took aboard diver and wrecking ma
terisls and proceeded to the scene of
the wreck. 1t was found that several
| pIsnks forward bad been broken. They
were temporarily repaired, and the boat
| came to Rockland Monday under her own
team, and Tuesday proceeded to Boston
| for repairs.
The steamer "Penobscot" will go on the
route while the Bangor" Is being re-
| oaired, and there will be no interruption
| of schedule time.
the passengers are loud In their praises
of the conduct OF officers and crew.

Begun Again-More Arrests.

Charleston, va, July 22.-The arrests
of strikers yesterday at the Collins col
liery appears to have Infatuated the
miners there and marching commenced
today, large bodies of men moving about
the property shouting epithets at the
men who are working. The colliery got
out seven hundred tons of coal today,
but the men who are working are prac-
tically prisoners in the mine, as they do
not come outside. Chief Deputy Hughes
and Deputy Cunningham, of the Fed
eral marshars office, made eighteen ar
rests, thirteen being brought there ana
five taken to Hinton. The situation is
serious in the Hinton section. Marshal
Thompson will determine after a consul
tation with deputies whether he will go
there. The trial of the arrested men
will occur Friday.
At Monarch colliery of the Kanawah
and Hooking Companies. four hundred
and ninety-eight tons were taken out
today. The marching there has stopped
after it continued last week.

The resentment of the millers owes it's
Genesis to Speaker Henderson's action
in holding up the London dock clause, an
amendment to the Harter Bill, designed
to do away with what American export
ers regard as unjust discrimination
against United States flour in the unload
ing charges at London. According to Mr..
Kennedy, Representative Loren Fletcher
had practically secured assurance of the
passage of the amendment and the mill

wishes would be carried out. when Speak

talked of state that out OF total OF oOOo
teachers, $500 are native Catholics? Why
not state that Father McKinnon Is
