Against the Tug.
Decision of U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals
in a Maine Case.

Decision Of U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals
in a Maine Case.
Elias Burr of Silverton, N. j., owner
of the schooner Mary Manning, is to
get damages from the Knickerbocker
Steam Towage Company of Bath for
the injury caused to his schooner by the
company's tug Seguin while towing her
on the westerly shore of the Penobscot
river on August 20, 1900, in addition to
the $1162 damages awarded to him for
the injury done his vessel by the same
company's tug, Ice King, later, in res
cuing her from the peril in which the
Seguin had placed her. A decision was
handed down by Judges Colt, Putnam
and Brown in the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals, Boston. Aug. Sd.
Burr's recovery was limited by the
district court of Maine to the damage
which the Ice King had caused, but that
court is now directed to give him dam
ages for what the Seguin had done, be-
cause the latter was responsible, as it
did not prove fault upon the schooners
part, and gave no reasonable explana-
ton why she did not keep the schooner
under control and prevent her from
grounding upon ledge two miles below
Bangor. The damage done by the Ice
King was in later grounding her on
Wheeler's rock. The total damage was
$1,000.

THE pocKLAND DISASTER.

Most Serious Injury her Boilers. Fifteen
Feet of keel Twisted off. sternpost Split
and Other Minor Injuries. The Missing
Baggage. The LOOting.
Two divers were at work all day Aug.
1st examining the City of Rockland to
ascertain the extent, of her injuries.
One pump was kept going all day and
night, for she was leaking as badly on
the beach at the Five Kilns as when
she lay stranded on Northwest ledge.
The divers found the extent of her in
juries to be as follows: The most serious
leak is on the starboard side under the
boilers about amidships forward, in No.
2 compartment. The injury here ap-
peared to the divers to have been caus-
ed by striking the Gangway ledge a
glancing blow, opening seam wide
enough SO that the divers could put a
hand through. There is an indentation
between the two boilers caused evident
ly by her resting upon the Northwest
ledge. The stanchions between the
boilers are also badly bent. The bilge
on the starboard side has left the bulk
head about four inches, caused appar-
emily by striking the first time. Her
stern post is split and piece of keel
fifteen feet long is twisted off, caused
when she was floated. 1t is thought
that her boilers are lifted also from the
effects of the first blow. The crew
were busy cleaning out the compart-
ments of everything not nailed fast.
The berth sections and the glory hole
will be swept clean in order not to in
terfere with the suction pipes on the
Boston trip

BACK NUMBERS.
Gen. John b. Gordon's Book.

Gen. John b. GOrdOn's Book.
Since reading Senator Hoar's book
have read "Reminiscences of the Civil
War" by General John B. Gordon of
Georgia, a noted Confederate officer,
and equally noted since the war for his
efforts to promote harmony between
the North and South. That he accom-
plished much in this direction the
writer can testify from personal knowl-
edge, and yet he retained his following
in the South while winning many
friends and admirers in the North. His
book is one of permanent value and
absorbing interest. His pictures of
battles, skirmishes and life in camp
and ON the march are both brilliant and
graphic. The chapter on Gettysburg
is not excelled by anything written or
spoken concerning the Civil war, and
passages are worthy to rank with Lin
coins memorable address. A feature
of this book that marks it as a rare
literary achievement is that while writ
ten from the Confederate standpoint
there is nothing in it to excite resent
ment on the part of those who wore the
blue. In the opening chapter Gen.
Gordon reviews the causes that led up
to the war, and while this is a vexed
question that may never be satisfac-
torily settled, we think he has presented
the case fairly from both the northern
and southern standpoints.
At the time Gen. Gordon lectured in
Belfast l wrote my recollections of him
from an acquaintance formed while a
newspaper correspondent in Washing
ton. He had the faculty characteris-
tic of Mr.. Blaine and of few other men
in public life, Of imparting informa-
ton in such language that it was east
~ retained in the memory of the inter
viewer. During reconstruction in South
! Carolina a Congress Onal committee of
which Gen. Gordon was member Wis
tied the State, and the New York Trib-
| une induced him to send daily des-
patches on the situation. They were
models in their line, fairly eclipsing the
work Of the picked journalists who &C
companied the committee. | think it
was before that time that Maine man.
James S. Pike, visited South Carolina
as a representative Of the New York
Tribune. and his letters to that paper
were subsequently published in book
form under the title of '"The PROSTATE
State' Although this is a depression
| must add here that no more faithful
picture of the condition of Southern
State under reconstruction has ever
been drawn; and the book is marked by
the rare literary skill which character
lied all of Mr. Pixies work.
| But to return to Gen. Gordon. AL
most daily intercourse with him for
several years at the National Capitol,
and recollection of his Journalistic
work in the columns of the New FORK
Tribune, led me to expect in his book a
work of great literary merit as well as
one of personal and historic interest;
and have not been disappointed. Nor,
l think, will any who read these "Rem
iniscences Of the Civil War" by Con
federate General.

The Eggemoggin Association.
1t Will Boom Little Deer Isle as q Sum.
mer Resort.


Little Deer Isle, few miles from Ston-
ington, is well filled with guests this year,
as is the pretty village of Northeast Har-
Dor on Deer Isle proper, and Captain c. L.
BabsOn, who owns the hotel at Little Deer
Isle, has interested summer visitors in form
ing what is known as the Eggemoggin AS
ISOLATION. 1t was organized with D. 81.
Andrews of Boston, president; Capt. Bab-
son, secretary, and J. Il. Haynes Of Ban
gor, treasurer and manager. Under the
new regime the resort is expected to enjoy
still greater popularity.
Nearly all the islands in Eggemoggin
Reach and in the vicinity of Stonington
have been bought within the past few
years. Recently Thomas W. Lawson
bought several Of them east of Stonington
and his name appears in the annual town
report of that town as nonresident tax
payer. His tax is $1873 Mr.. Lawson has
not visited the islands recently, and has
given up yachting for the present to devote
his time to his crusade against the Stand
ard Oil Co.

THE MISSING TRUNKS.

Returns from the missing trunks of
the City of Rockland are coming in
daily, but nothing has been heard from
the valuable stock of laces lost by
Madame MokarZel. Letters come to
Agent Sherman from way landings daily
containing statements of claims for
damages to their personal effects and
merchandise "There are enough claims
pillng in," remarked Mr. Sherman, ''to
bankrupt the company"
Many trunks and satchels are being
returned since the Eastern Steamship
Company sent detectives on the trail of
missing baggage. a Boston detective
has visited Monroe's Island and others
are visiting places along the coast A
fisherman called at Mr.. Sherman's of
fee in Rockland and said that in passing
Monroe's island he heard sounds of rev
elry by night and the humping of a
piano from the depths of the island float
ed out on the calm night A piano is
among the missing freight.
A North End man had four trunks
stored in barn and refused to give
them up to Agent Sherman, who offered
him $50 for his trouble. The man re
fused the offer and Sheriff Tolman went
to his place of residence, broke open the
shed and took the four trunks. The for
mer holder will now have to go to the
courts for salvage. Other parties are
holding trunks, refusing offers for re-
turn and the authorities will 60 after
them.
A young man named Richards tished
up drummer's dry goods trunk near
Owls Head. The trunk had been burst
open. He didn't know how much the
contents were worth and thought he
ought to have $50 for his trouble Mr..
Sherman offered him IS. Nearly all
trunks checked to Rockland are ac-
counted for but several bound to Ban
gOr are still missing.

The Fl. Pierce News is another ad-
vocate for the assessment of property
at its full Notwithstanding Metrop-
oils.
Who shall decide what is the full
value of property; OF rather, as that
duty would seem to devolve on the as
SCISSORS how shall they determine the
full value? Shall it be the price the
owner puts upon it in offering it for
sale? In that case the tax receipts
would be largely increased from prop
erty that is held by its owners at so
high a price that no one will buy it. Or
will it be assessed at the price it will
bring in the open market. We know
of one instance in which thirty times
the assessed value was refused for a
property, and of another where the
property was sold for $1,000 less than
the assessment. Everybody who has
looked into the matter will admit that
it is next to impossible to devise sys-
tenn of taxation that will be Just and
equitable in every case. The small
property owner who depends upon his
daily labor pays higher tax now, pro-
portionately, than his wealthy neigh
Dor, and will no doubt continue to do so
whatever reforms may be accomplish

The advent of the golden rod is a re-
hinder that the summer is waning,
and, however reluctantly, we must ad-
NIT that the season will go Oh record as
in some respects failure. Here and
at adjacent resorts there are fewer
people than usual and less gaiety than
last year There are various ways of
accounting for this condition. Posi-
bly, the fact that this has been year of
great disasters may have had some
thing to do with it. Then it is politi-
cal year, with strenuous campaign in
prospect, and perhaps some have re-
manned at home to look after their
fences. Others have taken their vaca-
ton in trip to the st. Louis EXPOSE
ton. Another explanation is that
the losers by the slump in the stock
market are now watching the tickers
with a view to retrieving their impair
ed fortunes. But whatever the reason
the fact remains that the Maine resort
season of 1904 is not up to the average.
