A SCHOONER SUNK Last Monday morning
while riding at anchor in lower Rockland har-
Dor the two masted schooner Eleazer Boynton
of Essex, Mass, was struck and sunk by the
steamer Camden, bound from Boston and
Rockland for Bangor. The schooner's crew
of five men escaped in one of their dores.
The Camden was not damaged to any extent
and after laying by until it was found the
crew were all safe proceeded. The accident
happened in very thick fog about o'clock,
but was not known in Rockland until some
time later when the fog cleared and the top
masts were seen protruding from the water
The schooner was built at Essex, Mass, in
1883 and was IS tons gross. She had loaded
l6S tons of gravel at North Haven and was
bound for Boston. Capt. Francisco Mendez of
Yonkers N. Y, was the owner and master of
the schooner. He carried no insurance and
valued his schooner at 5000. The crew were
all Portuguese. Tuesday, about a. M, as the
steamer Belfast from Boston was approaching
the wharf at Rockland she struck the schoon-
er Abel W. Parker, lumber laden, and bound
from Bangor for New Bedford. The schoon-
er's stern was damaged and her davits were
knocked away. The damage will be repaired
at Roc kland. The steamer was not injured
BELFAST's BUILDING Boom. Although men,
ton has been made from time to time of the
h,1;lt nd IF h,,;l
ing or contemplated, it is only when they are
seen in the aggregate that the amount of
building can be fully realized. Them best of
all, the majority are homes for their builders,
or for newcomers who have become citizens,
as it is the number of homes in proportion to
population that attests the general prosperity
and well being of community. We have
endeavored to note here all the building
operations of the season, and if any have been
overlooked, should be glad to have our atten-
ton called to them. Herbert Morey, who
bought the Sherburn Sleeper estate, corner of

provements, and it is now occupied by Or. H.
