Coastlna Schooner Capsized.

South Norwalk, Conn.-The three
masted coasting schooner Willie l..
Newton was capsized six miles east
southeast Of Green's reef light in Long
Island sound, during the recent storm.
AS the craft was completely overturned,
while the sails were being lowered, it
is believed that the entire crew, num-
bering probably seven men, was
drowned. One body, that of the cap
tain, has been secured, it having float
ed out of the cabin. The wreck was
sighted by Capt Walter Miner Of the
ocean-going tug Patience of New YORK,
as his vessel was towing barges from
New York to Providence. He attached
line to the keel and brought the ves-
sci into Wilson's cove. The Willie l..
Newton was built at Bangor in 1881
and that was her home port. She put
into New London the 22d for harbor
and sailed from there light two days
later for New York. The firm of Pom
dleton Bros, owners of the schooner
Willie L. Newton, have arrived here
and identified the body which flCated
out of the cabin Of the capsized vessel
as that of Capt. Edward COombs of
North Islesboro, Me. Arrangement g
were made to ship the body by train to
Capt. COombs' home. The Pendietons
visited the wreck in Wilson's cove, and
will make an effort to. raise the vessel
and have her towed to New York lor
repairs.

Iona on Prohibition.

BuckGeld, Mellon. John D. Long
of Massachusetts, in an address before
the united congregations of his native
town. in discussing the temperance
que ton, said:
prohibition Is not failure. The
law is enforced, not perfectly; there
are violations of it. Do you mean to
tell me there is no gambling, no pros
titution, no embezzling in the state?
There are laws against all of these and
every time we take up newspaper We
find instances of their being violated
"Where there is license you have
drunkenness and disorder; larger
police force is necessary, the cost of
court and witness fees are increased
and especially the expense for the care
of paupers. With prohibition there is
always lower tax rate.
1.-THE repeal of the prohibitory law
would be step backward, and the
people of Maine are not accustomed to
go backward in questions of moral and
social reform. The settled policy of
the state, supported by the sober COM
mon sense of the rural community, has
decreed that the saloon shall be an
outlaw"
