Philadelphia, Dec. 4.-With nearly
all her coal and freight, and quanti-
ties of her stores on lighters, the
transport Prairie is still fast tonight
in the mud off Pea Patch Island
where she grounded Thursday night.
while speeding down the Delaware
river on her way to Central America
Another attempt, the third since
she became fast, was made at flood
tide this afternoon to float the ves-
sci, but she was not moved. The big
transport is imbedded five or six feet
in the soft river bottom and it is now
believed that her cargo will have to
be taken off before there is a chance
to float her.
Whether another attempt will be
made to pull her off at high water
tomorrow is not known here.
Admiral Kimball, on board the
Prairie, is in constant communication
by wireless with the navy department
at Washington and he expects to re-
ceive orders during the night regard

AS the Prairie is resting in a bed of
mud, there has been no injury to her
hull. The officers and 700 marines on
board the Prairie are chafing at the

ing vigorously to help float the ship.
The marines have been put to good
use lightering the vessel.
The work of preparing the trans
port Dixie, now at the navy yard,
has progressed so far that the ship
can sail within few hours to take
the Prairie's place. The Dixie was
being made ready for sea before the
Prairie went aground and after the
news of her mishap reached the yard.
the work Of getting her ready was
pushed as much as. possible.

that there is now a free movement

barge has not been broken, said Mr.

Old Time Local Option.

A great many citizens of Marshall
County perhaps have forgotten or
never knew that Plymouth was a
dry town" as long as fifty-eight
years. At the April election 1851 there
was local option liquor law which
permitted legal voters to say whether
there should be license or no license
to sell liquors. At that election the
question of licensing liquor dealers
in Center township was voted upon
and resulted as follows; Against IL
cense 116; in favor of license and
blanks, 65; majority against license
81.
This was the vote that made Ply
mouth a dry town and inspired the
editor of the Plymouth Pilot, the only
paper published in the county short
time afterwards, TO effervese as fol-
lows:
IAN evidence that Plymouth will
wisdom is the absence of all intoxi-
eating drinks which law has been
carried into effect by some of lis
worthy citizens Their names shall
shine with respondent luster in the
archives 'of Immortality. Blessed
Spirits, where do they dwell. We have
wreathes for them. Having leaped this
formidabl barrier, and killed the seven
headed monsters, Plymouth shall rise
from her weeping couch and assume
the garb of purity and brightness.
The editor of the Pilot at that time
was not opposed to taking a little
something for the stomach's sake,
and it is quite likely that the inspira-
ton for the produc rion of its elo-
quent paragraph as above was de-
rived from that source
That local option law, however,
proved TO be unsatisfactory, and in
1853 the Legislature passed law put
ting the sale of all liquors, and that
only for a medicinal purposes upon
prescription OF practicing physician,
in the hands of county agent There
were several Temperance organiza-
tons here at that time, and this law
necessarily put them ont OF business,
as the State had localized its sale
and authorized the appointment of an
agent whose business was to sell
liquors for the State as provided for
the law 1t was soon found, however,
that there was as much drunkenness
and as much liquor drank as at any
period previous to that time. Those
who drank, and many who did not,
supplied themselves with bottles and
little brown jugs and hid them away
in their cellars and garrets where
they had more frequent access to it
than they had when it was regularly
on sale as provided by law, and there
was fully as much inebriation, if not
more, than previously, aud SO it came
