THE WINTERPoRT ASSAULT CASE. Will
liam E. Baker of Winterport was ar
raigned in the police court last Saturday
morning charged with assault with intent
to kill on Mrs. Emma Curtis of Winterport,
widow by whom he was employed. The
facts of the case were substantially as Civ
en- in The Journal last week, viz, that Ba-
ker while shaving in the kitchen of the Cur
tbs home suddenly attacked Mrs. Curtis
with a razor. Her cries for help attracted
neighbors who frightened Baker away. He
fled to the woods and later claimed he did
not remember anything about the affair
I ~ L
plea of insanity. Judge Rogers found prob
able cause and held Baker for the Septem-
Der term of court, and, as he was unable to
furnish bail he was committed to Jail. His
counsel will file petition with the Supreme
Court asking that Baker be placed in a
State insane asylum for observation until
court convenes, and this will probably be
done.
STEAMER NOTES. The new steamer
Creole, built at Quincy, Mass, for the
Morgan line, is equipped with the Curtis
turbines, an American invention, and is
the pioneer steamship in this respect. Un-
like the steamers equipped with Parsons
turbines, of which there are always three
or four sets, turning as many screws, the
Creole has only two Curtis turbines, driv-
ing twin screws. These screws may be
operated ahead or astern at will; in the
Parsons triple outfits only the cupboard
screws are arranged to turn ahead or aback,
the center screw being an ahead screw
only. The inventor of these reversing tur-
bines is said to have realized nearly one
million dollars from his invention. The
Camden which left here on time last Thurs
day afternoon had trouble with her blowers
and did not arrive at Rockland until 9.45 p.
N. Repairs were made there and she did
not get away from Rockland until 8 a. m.
Friday 1t was reported about town that
she had been hauled off and that the Frank
Jones would take her place. This of course
was absurd as the Jones is running on the
Sound on an Independent line At 9.20 d.
m. Saturday the Camden made her landing
here with big freight and passenger list.
She made the run from Boston to Rockland
in = hours. Bath sent a crew of men to
Philadelphia last week to bring back the
new steel steamer Boothbay for the Bath
Boothbay route of the Eastern S. S. Co.
The new craft was to leave Philadelphia
Friday and proceed to Boston where fittings
will be installed, after which:she will come
to Bath and be placed at once into active
service. -. The City of Bangor arrived Mon
day morning from Boston in place of the
Camden, hauled Off for repairs to her
blowers. The Camden resumed the route
again Tuesday, arriving here on time yes
terday morning.
The BAY TRAGEDY. Just before going
to press last week The Journal was inform
ed by telephone from Stockton that the
bodies of two of the victims of the yachting
accident July 9th had been washed ashore,
one at Castine and he at lslesboro. Such
report was then current, but was unbound
ed. Meanwhile watch has been kept on
the shores and all day last Friday the tug
Lottie and May with Sherman W. Smith
and P. 7. Dugan, fathers of two of the
drowned boys, and other men on board,
patrolled the bay where the yacht is thought
to have gone down, but without definite re-
suits. At one time the grapples struck
something which broke them and this is
thought to be the Inflated yacht. The spot
is we'll located so that it can be found again.
The water at this point is about 60 feet
deep If the yacht is located in a depth of
water where diver can work effectively
