Schooner John Maxwell Lost.

The schooner John Maxwell, bound from
Norfolk to Savannah with coal, was
wrecked on Hstteras shoals last Friday
night.
Capt. Frederick Godfrey, of Miibridge,
was the only one on board saved, he being
washed ashore cIinging to wreckage.
The story of the wreck, as CLEANED from
the rescued captain, is thrilling one.
Early Saturday morning the schooner
broke in two. The mate and five men
took to the boat, but were swamped and
drowned.
Capt. Godfrey's determination to stand
by his vessel probably saved his life.
He and the steward chung to the wreck !;
about noon, the latter, either from ex-
haustion or from being driven insane, fell
into the sea and was drowned.
Then began the lone fight OF Capt. God
frey. ALI the afternoon he watched the
iife-savers, his strength slowly ebbing.
BY night ne had given up hope. Darkness
fell and the heavy seas, whipped by gale,
continued. About midnight, Saturday,
the mast to which he had lashed himself
fell into the water and detached itself
from the remainder of the wreck. 1t
washed ashore and the captain, almost un-
conscious, was hauled in the surf by life
savers, who had held ceaseless vigil from
the time the vessel was discovered.
The Maxwell was one of fleet whose
principal owner is James 7. Maxwell, of
Saugerties, N. Y, who has q beautiful
summer home at Hancock Point. The lost
vessel was built in Milbridge in 1899 by
Sawyer Eros; her first captain was Fred
Crabtree, of Hancock. Another of the
Maxwell feet was commanded by the late
Capt. J. Atwood Bowden, of Ellsworth.

STATEMENTS OF cANDrpArEs.

President Taft received the election re-
turns at the home OF his brother, c. P.
Taft, in Cincinnati. At II O'Clock he con-
ceeed the election to Wilson, and issued
the following statement:
"The returns insure the election of Gov.
Wilson TO the presidency. This means an
early change in the economic policy Of the
government in reference to the tariff. II this
change can be made without hating pros
perity, sincerely hope IL may be.
"The vote for Mr. Roosevelt, the third
party candidate, and for Mr.. Debs. the social
list candidate, is a warning that their pro-
paganda in favor of fundamental changes in
our constitutional representative government
has formidable support.
"while the experiment of a change in the
tariff is being carried out by the democratic
administration 1t behooves republicans again
to rally to the party standard and pledge
anew their faith in their party's prinei pies
and to organize again to defend the constitu-
tional government handed down to us by our
fathers. We must make clear TO the young
men Of the country who have been weaned
away from sound principles of government
by promise Of reform, impossible Of accom-
pltsbment by mere legislature that pa
triotism and commonsense require them TO
return to q support of our constitution.
without compromising our principles, we
must convince and win back former republic
cans, and we must reinforce our ranks with
constitution-loving democrats. We favor
every step OF progress toward more perfect
equality OF opportunity and the Kidding
society of injustice. But we know that all
progress worth making is possible with our
present form of government, and that to
sacrifice that which is of the highest value in
our governmental structure for underlined and
impossible reforms is the widest folly. We
must face the danger with clear knowledge
of what it is.
"rhe republican party is equal to the task.
1t has had no nobler cause. Let us close
ranks and march forward to do battle for the
right and the truth"
GOV. WILSON.
Gov. Wilson's first public utterance after
his election was assured, was IS follows:
"a great cause has triumphed. Every deme-
crat, every trne progressive Of whatever al
lance. must now lend his full force and en-
thusiasm to the fuilfIlment OF the peoples
hope, the establishment of the peoples right,
so that justice and progress may 60 hand in

COL. ROOSEVELT.

following statement:

consentment. AS for the progressive cause,

rhe Result.

The result OF yesterdays election is
what was naturally to be expected
after the bolt following the Chicago
convention. No house divided
against itself can stand.
Mr.. Roosevelt started out to gain
control of the republican party, or to
ruin it; he failed in the first, but in
the latter he has gloriously succeeded.
And he is content,
It is greatly to be hoped that with
a democratic executive and House,
the Senate also will be democratic;
then the next administration will be
one of undivided responsibility and
will stand or fail as such.

Corydon Richardson, of Bar Harbor,
driving over Waltham ridge one day
recently, at 10 O'Clock in the forenoon,
saw bear under an apple tree only about
three rods from the road. The bear ran off
into small patch of woods. Mr.. Rich
ardson notified some OF the Waltham MINI
rods, who soon collected for a bear hunt.
IL the small wood they found not one bear,
but three-an old one, a yearling and a
cub. A famous (sl bear dog of the COM
munity thought this was too much of a
proposition, and tainted. The hunters
killed the cub ana the yearling, but the
old bear escaped, slightly wounded.

SWEEPING VICTORY.
ROOSEVELT RUNS SECOND, WITH TAFT
A POOR THIRD-THE VOTE IN
HANCOCK COUNTY.

The presidential election yesterday re-
suited in a sweeping victory for the demo-
cratic candidates, Wilson and Marshall.

four small towns not reported, by 100
plurality over Roosevelt, who ran 526
