WRECKING JOB FOR CAPT. HAYES. Wreck
ing operations are to be resumed under the
direction of Capt. Jerry Hayes on the
schooner Alice E. Clark, ashore on Coombs'
ledge in the eastern bay. Two unsuccessful
efforts have been made to float the schooner;
first by the Boston Towboat Co., and then by
Fields S. Pendleton of New York, both unsuc-
cessful. The schooner at first laid with her
bow high up on the ledge and her stern in
deep water, and in nearly upright position.
In the second attempt to raise her she slid
partly off the ledge and now lies on her beam
ends with her masts in the water. The Boston
Towboat Co. was to have $4,000 if they sue
ceeded in floating the schooner and nothing if
they did not, and after expending $1,000 they
abandoned the undertaking. Mr.. Pendleton
then bought the wreck for $500 and got out a
considerable part of the cargo of 2, 700 tons of
soft COAL and then with various wreckng
appliances, the use of four schooners and two
steamers, attempted to get the schooner eff
the ledge, but failed. There is said to be about
1000 tons of coal in the schooner, which it is
proposed to take out, and then another effort
may be made to float the vessel. If any man
can do it, Capt. Hayes can.
THE WALDO REPUBLICAN CLUB. The club
rooms on Main street were well filled last Mon
day evening to listen to Judge B. F. Maher of
Augusta, who has Statewide reputation as a
witty, eloquent and telling speaker. Judge
Maher well maintained his reputation on this
{ occasion, holding the close attention of his
hearers for more than an hour He told some
good stories to illustrate portions of his ad-
dress, spoke in the highest terms of Gov. Fer
nald-"the best Governor Maine has had for 90
publican candidate for Congress in this dis
trict--a man Of deeds and influence-and of
the local Republican candidates, speaking from
personal knowledge of Senator Colcord and
Representative Morse. He exposed the dis
honesty and inconsistency of the Democratic
cry of extravagant State expenditures and told
of the appointment to Office by Gov Fernald
of an active Democrat because he was
recommended as best qualified for the
position. No Republican who heard
Judge Maher could have excuse for voting
against his party in the present campaign.
when SO much is stake and when it behoyes
every member Of the party to do his full duty,
Next Monday the club rooms will be open, but
there will be no speaking, as a rally is to be
held at the fair grounds on that day. The fol-
lowing Monday, election day, the rooms will be
open to receive the returns.
