DROWNING ACCIDENTS.

WEST BRooKsvILLE, Sept. 20. DR..
Clinton A. Stewart of Clinton, Mass, was
drowned this morning while bathing in
Jones' cove, short distance from his sum-
mer residence. 1t is not known how the
accident happened as he was alone at the
time. He was very athletic and strong
swimmer. 1t is supposed that he struck his
head on rock. His body was recovered.
He was a former resident of this town and
was 55 years old. He leaves family here.
CAsr1NE, Sept 49, No trace has yet
been discovered of the body of the late
VIM. L. Eustis, drowned Wednesday morn
ing, Sept. Is. Several boats were busy
dragging yesterday, and today some twenty
boats are on the ground and every effort is
being made to locate the remains. Mr..
Conrad Reno of Boston, brOther-in-law of
the deceased, arrived last night. He offers
a reward of $50 for the finding of the body.
The place where Eustis is believed to have
gone down is between Trott's ledge and
Wescott's Point and almost in line with
the red rock The bottom at this place is
rocky and dragging is difficult. 1t is
thought by some that the storm Of Thurs
day last may have carried the body up
river some distance, but the probability is
that it remains where it sank, as the force
of the sea is broken on the ledge. Mr..
Eustis was from Springfield, Mass, about
So years of age, and had been summer
resident at Castine for two years. There
are indications that he may have committed
suicide.

WRECKED ON PEMAQUID.

Two schobners dashed to pieces and fifteen
Lives lost. Capt. W. S. Harding of Pros
pect among the drowned.
PEMAQUID, Sept II. While seeking a har-
bor of refuge during the terrible gale which
swept the New England coast last night
two vessels were wrecked on the treacher-
Gus bar at the end of Pemaquid point and
fifteen hardy mariners went down to their
death. The wrecked vessels were the mack
erel schooner George F. Edmunds Captain
Willard Poole of Gloucester, Mass, and the
little coasting schooner, Sadie and Lille,
Capt. William S. Harding of Prospect, Me.
OF the sixteen men composing the crew of
the Edmunds, fourteen, including Captain
Poole, were drowned. Capt Harding of
the coaster stuck to his vessel in an attempt
to run her into safe position on the beach
and lost his life. The two members of
the crew were taken ashore by Weston
Curtis, volunteer life saver, after hard
struggle. Capt. Harding, in the meantime,
had been trying to work the schooner from
her perilous position to a less dangerous
point and was the last to make the attempt
to reach land. By this time the line, which
already had made two trips to and from the
wreck, had become tangled by the action of
the waves and when the captain was about
half way between the vessel and the shore
it stuck fast and he was drowned before
the eyes of helpless companions. His body
was recovered. The members of his crew,
who were rescued, We're f. L. Abbott of
Verona, and Eugene Aldus Of Belfast
Funeral services over the remains of the
late Capt. Harding were conducted at Pema-
quid Friday afternoon, under the direction
of the |. o. 0. F., and the body was taken
to Prospect that night for burial.
The Sadie and Lille was built in Steu-
ben, Maine, in 1884, and hailed from Ma
chias. She was 60 tons gross, rs tons net,
63S feet in length, 3D. feet beam, and G.2
feet in depth She was bound from Pros
pect for Boston in ballast when she encoun-
tered the gale.
The George F. Edmunds was built at Es-
sex in 1887 and was 10 tons net. She sailed
from Gloucester about three weeks ago on
mackerel fishing trip along the Maine coast
Capt. Poole leaves a wife and two children,
and five of the lost of his crew were from
Gloucester and left families.

All records for mackerel fishing were to-
day broken by the arrival of the famous
steamer Alice M. Jacobs, Captain Sol ia
cobs, with forty barrels of mackerel, which
were sold to J. W. Trefetheu & Co., Com

barrels Captain Jacobs has stocked in this
season $43,U00. This is 1000 more than his
entire seasons work last year, which up to
today held the record. Captain Jacobs to-
day announced to an Express reporter that
he was trying to reach the fifty thousand
dollar mark, and as he has about two
months yet to fish before the season ends, it
now looks as if he might reach it.-Port-

From up-river way there came large
delegation to the reunion. Towering among
them was the file form Of John 0. johnson
of Liberty, who is one of the most promi-
nent veterans in the State and des-
tined some day to be at the head of the
Grand Army organization. Mr.. johnson is
anxious that the navy should be represent
ed as department commander and The
COurier-G Gazette reporter found him urging
Capt. E. A. Butler OF RocklaDd to become a
candidate for that Office. He found Capt.
Butler surrounded by his usual atmosphere
of extreme mOdesty. Mr.. johnson has
never ceased to boom the Liberty region
and hopes to see the Camden and Liberty
trolley line become reality instead of q
theory. "Why," said Mr. johnson, 81 find
you folks paying three cents an ear for
green corn. We've great quantity that
you could have at one cent an ear if we only
had some way of getting it here" Mr..
johnson, who is an old and valued contrib
utOr to The Courier-Gazette, called at the
Office before leaving for home and has prom.
ised to provide us some day with series OF
articles on the old navy. "The average
reader doesn't know much about the old
time warships," said Mr.. johnson. "Most
men can only remember as far back as
Dewey"
With Mr.. johnson in his call at this office
was namesake, John johnson, of the fa-
nous Brooks company. He lost an arm in
the battle of Charlottesville.

Grand Army We're at the reunion, DR.. Ben
jamin Williams and Col. L. D. Carver. both
PRODUCTION. Col Carver held court on the
lawn during the afternoon and in his char
acteristic style reeled off war anecdotes by
the metric system.
First Bull Run was under discussion and
the comrades were reviewing with cOnSld-
cradle more humor than they experienced
at the time of their adventures during the
retreat. The reporter, who was an inter-
ested listener, ventured question.
=" How did you feel after this defeat"
''I'll tell you,' replied Col. Carver
'.We felt just as if we'd got devil of d
licking"
Col Carvers last Is days of service were
as commander of the brigade at Gettysburg,
which comprised the Sd and ith Maine regl-
ments, the 3Sth and 10th New York regi-
