BATH MEN WIN.
A Claim Dating From '62 Decided
Against Governpnent.

Bath, Feb 22-(SpeciaD.-A senate
amendment to the Omnibus Claims
Bill which has passed both branches Of
Congress ana is now in conference, has
an item of $11,1OS.97 in favor of Ed
ward w. Larabee, administrator of
Stephen Larabee, deceased ana Charles
f. Greenleaf, administrator of Amos
L. Allen, deceased, late of this city.
This claim grew out of the con-
.strtiction, for the United States gov
eminent in 1862, of the hull of the
double losco. Amos l.. Allen
and Stephen I.arabee contracted to
build this vessel for the sum of $4,000.
Their contract called for the delivery
Of the hull to the engine builders on
March 20, 1863. on account of add
tional services in making alterations
at the request of the officers in charge
the vessel was not finished on contract
| time and the builders lost a profit of
! $4,000 and it cost them $13,7S0 more
than they ever got for it.
They were paid. however, on account
| of extra work, $4;.35.S4, and for towing
| the vessel, $500 more. In 1865 the
| board of naval officers found that the
| excess Of cost Of the hull above these
| allowances, and the contract price, was
| S11 70S 81, and the loss to the contrac-
tors, by reason of the delays and chan
ges ordered by the United States was
$23,7S7 The matter was brought be
| fore the court of claims, and it was
shown that the contractors were not
guilty of laches as they had presented
their claims in 1865, and it was also
proven that the contractors gave no
aid and comfort to the Rebellion.
The Navy Department appointed a
| board known as the Selfridse Board
and it was shown that the entire cost
of the Iosco vas 91,S54.91. And they
reported that the contractor should be
| paid the extra price demanded. The
court of claims did not find any evil
dence satisfactory to impeach the re-
port and conclusions of the Selfridge
| Board and so the amount of los. 81
was ordered 10 be paid. The senate
amendments to the Omnibus Claims
Bill have made it almost a new bill
and there is possible chance that this
amendment and others may be elinii-
mated, but it is not thought probable.

.AFTER=EFFECTS
OF THE GRIP
A Severe Attack Left This
Camden Man Weak and
Nervous but He Is
Now Strong and
Rugged.

An attack of grip depletes the blood,
reduces the vitality and leaves the sys-
tenn in a rundown condition that is
almost sure to invite disease if not cor
rected.
1t is a condition that calls emphatic
ally for tonic for the blood. DIR. Will
liams' Pink Pills are tonic especially
adapted to meet this need. They enable
the blood to absorb oxygen, the great
sustainer of organic life; they tone up
the nerves and give vigor, strength and
health to the debilitated system.
Mr.. F. M. Clark, painter and paper
hanger, of No. SO Pearl street, Camden,
Me-, says:
"For nearly five months following an
attack Of the grip was very sick. The
grip left me very weak and nervous and
I could scarcely walk across the room.
I had awful pains in my stomach, which
came on as often as two or three times a
day. Twas unable to get much sleep and
lost at least twenty pounds in weight.

started taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

and took them until cured. I have
been rugged and healthy since and have

The value of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
| in debility cases lies in their direct re-
Spouse to the needs of the blood. That
they do this well is shown by the grad
ual disappearance of the symptoms and
the return of color and health. They
lay the foundation for permanent health
in the future.

Blood giving more information about
the remedy will be sent free on request

Athens. Greece, Oct. 29.-An actual

and the situation is acute. A numbe-
OF naval officers which on Wednesday
Quilted the capital and withdrew to the

declare which side it will take. Many
of the junior navy officers at Athens
oppose the revolt. Great excitement

volt, is commander of fotilla of

Assassination of Prince Ito

Seoul, Oct. 29.-It is evident from
the attitude of considerable section
OF the Korean population that the
assassination OF Prince Ito was NOT
unpleasing. Those comprising this
section represent the elemen which is
now deprived of opportunities form

Some. the Japanese resident general
III Korea. is much disturbed by the
reports coming in regarding the atti-
tude OF some of the officials and 9TH
ers who were formerly closely con-
nected with the court of the emper-
or.
1t is now believed that the entire,
plot was hatched in Seoul and the
closest investigation is proceeding to
discover the instigators of Prince
Ito's murder. 1t is said there is rea-
son to believe that several prominent
Koreans. while not actually privy to
the assassination. lent themselves to
secret agitation and encouraged the
people in general in the opinion that
the sympathy of foreign countries
would be extended to them If the stu
alton were forcibly brought to their
attention. 1t is now known that Sec
ret societies existed to spread the
propaganda that Prince Itos outward
friendship for Korea was merely a
blind. Tho report also was widely
circulated that Japan proposed to
confiscate the property of all
Koreans, depose the emperor and
drive the people into the sea.
The palace of the resident general
is strongly guarded day and night. A
decided feeling of unrest pervades
Korea and it is feared that the
assassination will be followed up by

STEAMER IN
BAD COLLISION
Passengers Were Saved But
the Engineer of One Barge
Was Drowned

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Oct. o.
The steamer Powpatan of the Mer-
chants and Miners line, carrying
twenty-five passengers and a full car
go of freight from Boston for Balti-
more. was in collision last night of
the Shovel Full lightship with the
Shenandoah, one of the two or three
barges in charge of the tug Interna-
tional. The barge was sunk and her
engineer was drowned. Three other
members of the Shenandoah's crew
were picked up by the Powpatan. The
latter craft reached here today with
her bow plates much bent. All of the
passengers on the Powpatan were
awakened by the shock of the COL
lision. Many of them ran on deck
clad only in their night clothing and
blankets which they had thrown
around themselves. 1t was a few
minutes before it was ascertained
that the Powpatan had not suffered
materially in the collision but mesu-
while the steamers officers succeeded
in calming the fear Of the passenger.
