Helpsomehow Barge Ride.
TContrtnuted

| The third annual barge-ride, candy
pull, ETC., ad snfnituns, of the Helpsome-
how society took place last night. 1t wat
nearly O'Clock when the barge left the
| church corner with Alexander Weaver on
the quarterback and almost full pas
senger list. 1t took him some time to get
his bearings, but at last he fetched a
course SOU by-so west and we landed in
the dooryard OF Capt. Roland G. Dorsey
on the Surry road, Misses Ethel and
Evelyn Bonsey entertaining the society
on this occasion.
What might have happened in case OF
shipwreck can only be conjectured, as
there was only one fe-preserver aboard
and that was jealousIy guarded by the
president. To say that we had good
time is only to put a superlative statement
in the positive case. Finch and crokinole
were enjoyed and music was furnished by
Miss M. A. Hodgkins, Miss Ethel Bonsey
and Mrs. Everett Quinn.
But the sweetest time of all was the
candy pull. There is deep and abiding
suspicion that the cook stole march on
us in the making OF the candy, for it's
marvellous dnctility was equalled only by
its affectionate sickness. But after all,
it tasted good and the temptation to eat
especially that which was pilfered from
someone else, was so great that one menu
Der will not care for any more of that sort
until the fourth annual. Perhaps the
worst feature of the affair was that some
OF the company began to feel naughty
got real stuck-up in fact-and would
hardly speak to the rest OF us for quite a
time.
1t was about low twelve when the party
were called to refreshments, and they
were delicious. A short business session
was held. Miss Hodgkins was elected to
the secretaryship to take the place of Mrs.
Higgins, who has recently moved away.
Other matters were attended to, and then
each one of the company, as token of ap-
probation, presented the Misses Bonsey
with pig, safely penned Cor rather PEN
cilled).
1t was two bells when we embarked for
Ellsworth, after having enjoyed one OF
the best times ever. The next meeting Of
the society will be with Mrs. Quinn at
her home on Central street, Tuesday even
ing, March 8.

Talk OF the return Of wolves to Maine
recalls to the Oldest settlers the time when
they roamed these parts night and day, in
search OF prey, and they wouldn't hesitate
to tackle man after dark, writes our Otis
correspondent. Mrs. E. d. Warren, an old
lady who, when child, lived near Beech
hill lake, favorite resort for the wolves,
tells OF them coming boldly to the barn
after sheep in the winter when they were
housed. She also well remembers the
day her father-Mr. Davis, went to Els
worth and was Obliged to walk home, a
distance OF fifteen miles. When he got to
the river bridge it was dark. 1t was there
that pack of wolves scented him, and
followed him home. At times when the
road was near the woods, they would come
so close that he could see their teeth and
eyes. When he came to where the
Fraziers lived, the night having come on
Intensely dark, he called and borrowed a
gun, the rest Of the journey being almost
a forest at that time. Still they followed
on, with their horrible bowls, regardless
of the nu nber which Mr.. Davis wounded
Finally he reached home almost exhausted.
The next morning several sheep were
found dead in flock belonging to Grand
father Warren, whose pasture was near the
pine grove at Young's, where the wolves
gave up the chase Of Mr.. Davis.

Apart from the matter of Mr.. Knox's
eligibility but somewhat associated with
it is the matter of an under secretary OF
state and also fourth assistant secretary
OF state. In that connection there is an
item Of Maine interest, for it has been
claimed that Chandler Hale, son OF SEN
ator Hale OF Maine, is slated for under
secretary. Nothing of the kind is true,
and when the House refused the other day
to assent to the creation of the Office OF
under secretary OF state, the action had NO
reference whatever either to Senator Hale
or to his son, Chandler.
The position for which Chandler Hale
has been slated is fourth assistant secre-
tary of state. That is an office, too,
which Senator Knox proposes to create,
but it will pay il the Office is authorized,
salary Of 1850 q year, whereas it is
proposed to pay the under secretary OF
State 10000 a year. The House has re-
fused to authorize any OF the additional
offices, but they were carried on a pro-
vision Of an appropriation bill, and it is
believed that eventually the House will
assent.

bad wreck on the Iowa Central Friday
afternoon, when passenger train No. 4,
south bound, which left this city at
9 O'clock in the morning, jumped the
track and went into the ditch late in
the afternoon at Newport, a short dis
lance east of keithsburg, Ill.
The smoker, combination express
and mail car, and the engine tank left
the track. The combination car and
tank turned over after leaving the rails,
but fortunately for its occupants the
smoker remained upright upon its
trucks. Had it too gone on its side
serious injuries and perhaps fatalities
would have resulted.
Partly Open Switch the Cause.
A partly open switch, which led to a
siding in the Newport yards. caused
the derailment. The engine passed the
switch without entering ii, but the tank
ran off taking with it the combination
car and smoker. After going thru the
switch the tank and two cars left the
track together, the first Two turning on

rails. The express and baggage men,
and the mail clerk were thrown roughly
about the car. but no one was injured.
