She was loaded with lime, bound from Rockland to New York. Efforts will be I made Monday to get her off. She now lies in a bad (dace, but it is thought she will get through the night without further damage. The cargo of lime is destroyed and the dam age to the vessel is considerable. She was owned by Ira Elms of the Cobb Lime Com pany of this city, and the vessel and cargo are well insured. The brook overflowed this afternoon flood ing cellars of several private residences and •tores, doing damage to the extent of $2500. Fuller A Cobb, dealers in dry goods in the Harwell-Ames block, were the heaviest losers. All the winter stock for the holidays was stored in the cellar and was damaged, about 9IUO0 worth. II. H.

Fuller which m opportunely turn ed up atd rescued the shipwrecked mariners of the steamer Santiago. anchored off Bed Ice’s Island at 11 o'clock Tuesday night. A ■amber of the crew had been burned aad otherwise disabled before the Santiago was abandoned, aad they were pretty anxious to gat ashore to have their injuries dressed and treated. A tog boat transferred them from the Fatter la a pier alongside of the Battery sea wall Capt. Robert Potter the master of the ill fortuned craft, had an interview with the Messrs. Sanderson immediately after his ar rival at the office and related in a graphic style the story of the destruction of his fine steamer. The own saved nothing except the clothing they stood in. Captain Potter's Account. Capt. Potter wrote out an exhaustive ac count of the burning of his vessel and the subsequent rescue of all hands; but this was intended for the British Consul, and he de clined to show it to the press. He, however, made a plain, unvarnished statement of the affair to a reporter. The weather was not particularly favora ble, he said, when the Santiago cleared Sandy Hook on Sunday morning, the 17th iost. Besides the cargo under deck there were 180 head of American ca tie. Everything gave promise of a speedy and prosperous voyage. At 4.20 P. M. of the 19th, the steamer was 283 miles east of Sandy Hook. There was a very fresh wind blowing from the sooth-southeast at that hour, and the barometer in its rapid down ward flight showed indications of an ap proaching storm. Suddenly one of the officers of the wgteh rushed into Capt. Pot ter's stateroom and shouted: •*Tbo Strip In Afire, Sir; the ship is afire To rush on deck was the work of s second, and then Capt. Potter saw that the officer had spokeu the truth. Dense volumes of smoke were rolling out from the deck seams and butts of the poop deck. Hardly had the skipper given the order to 1 find out the cause of this fire than smoke 1 puffed out from under the tarpaulins on the covers of Nos. 7 and 8 hatches aud from the apron of the mainmast. Capt. Potter ordered the after-hatch cov ers to be lilted. The 2,000 odd bales of cot ton which the vessel had were stowed in 1 these compartments, and the captain realized j at once that the cotton was responsible for the fire. As soon as the hatches were removed blinding flames burst out and the men were 1 driven back. The four passengers were in 1 saloon at the time, and the shouts of the crew 1 brought them on deck in a jiffy; but Capt. Potter compelled them to go below again Five lengths of hose were then run out, and with the steam from the engine room as many more streams of water were pointed dowr the horning hatchway. This went on for fifteen minutes, and the smoke died away sufficiently to let the men see that the whole cargo of cotton under the hatchway was Ablasa from Bide to Bide. The heat thrown out by the flames was so intense that the men begged Capt. Potter to burst holes in the deck and apply the hoae nozzles to the apertures. This was done, tho deck being broken at the bulwarks on both sides of the ship. The sailors worked with the strength of despair, but it was in vain, and the fire gained steadily. At 5 P. M. it was decided that the vessel was making too much draught under her headway of steam, and the captain wore ship and steamed slowly before the wind. This reduced the draught a good deal and gave the men a better chance to fight the flames. The cattle btcame quite troublesome about this time, jumping about in heir stalls as if they knew by instinct of the danger. At 5 15 o'clock, although the fire hose was •till at work, the deck became »o hot that the men could barely walk upon it. At 5.30 tha steering gear of the ship gave way with a snap, having been burned out. The steamer then Becoming Unmanageable, the engines were stopped altogether. At that hour the vessel, from the engine compartment alt. was all aflame, and the crew were being driven forward, step by step. At 6.45 the beams which held up the aftar deck, ten solid pieces of iron, went down with a crash, and the after deck fell in a few minutes later. The cattle now refused to remain in the stalls on the deck. There was a stampede when at seven o'clock the stalls took the flames and singed the hide of the dumb bru’es. Fort) of them, a living ma»s of flames, burst from iheir prison and jumped over the steamer's side into the sea and Swam Away From tha Btaamar. The remainder fell off and jumped into the flames when the midship portion of the deck gave away. It waa all up then and Capt. Potter realizing this fact held a consultation and it was agreed to take to the lifeboats. The passengers in cluding Capt. Charles Joy, Mrs. Knight and her infant, and a Mr. Wadsworth were help ed into the boat first. It was dark then with a high sea running. The boats were manned and lowered. Just as they left the ship's side the vessel turned over and took on a heavy list to starboard. The lifeboats filled with the passengers snd crew, were fastened by painters to the burning vessel with the in tention of remaining there until daylight. They remained for fifteen minutes only, however, the pitch of the sea being too vio lent, forcing them to sheer off from the burning hulk. The boat had sufficient pro visions to last two days. After they left the Santiago the mainmast was seen to topple o’er into the sea The abip was then all •fire forward and the CarcaoMB of Daad Cattla floated around on the water. The sea was too rough to hoist sails on the lifeboats and to keep the small craft from foundering their navigators had to head up to the waves. The boats lost sight of one another after being afloat an hour. At daylight oo the 20th, the Fuller came along, brought to the scene by the bright glare of the Santiago’s flames The work of the rescue waa then speedily accomplished. THIRD MRUAL BALL. Chevaliers of Cantoo Cvsrgrssn Royalty BntMtala In wired Ghiesta. [Special to the Kennebec Journal. Gabdiweb. Nov. 28.—The Chevaliers of Canton Evergreen, I. O. O. F. of j this city, held their third annual concert and hall at Johoson Opera House tonight, and despite the fact that the fnries of wind and rain conspired against them, j scored a signal success, aad placed tho con cert aad hall of 1889 well in keeping with thorn similar events of preceding years, which have woo for them many words of! commendation aa entertainers in the truej sense of the word. Gardiner, always noted for her dressy aad fashionable balls, did herself prowd Might, and though the naan her attending the boll waa greatly lessened by the disagreeable weather and walking, •till there waa a goodly number of amrry dancers present, aad the smiling and happy countenances of tho dancers bore ample evidence that they were enjoying tho ball to Palloa of Aaguata, with five tried and proved musicians from his orchestra, fur nished the marie for both cones rt aad bail, and it waa of the same rare excellence which i always characterises his music.

The floor was oader the management of Chief Marshal Chevalier A. L. Stephenson, assisted by the following chevaliers as aides: G. H. Fuller, F. H. Goodrich. F. A. White. K. O. Berry aad C. W.

Chevaliers ia their neat fitting uniforms, civilians in cttisen dress nod ladies ia charming and quite elaborate costumes, combine in making the scene a most animated and pleasing one. The order of dances printed on dainty aad emblematical souvenirs, shows a most admirably arranged selection. During the intermission the ladies were escorted to the handsome dialog hall of Young's Hotel for eopper. Landlord Yoang and a corps of trained waiters are in attend ance and serve the delicacies provided to tickle the palates of the merry dancers in a style worthy of Delmonico himself. Young has spared no pains to make Ae supper all that could be desired. An adjournment to the hall follows the •upper. As the merry waltsers glide by a Journal reporter take* note of several ladies from out of the city; among them Misses Cheney and ilagar of Richmond, Miss Nel lie -Mitchell of Fozcroft and Mis* Grace Fogler and Georgia Boynton of Augusta. Only as the final notes of Ae last extra echo and reecho along the fres oed walls of our dainty Opera House are the dancers con tent to give up Ae facinating amusement, ind as Aey don mackintoshes and gossamers discuss the affair again and again. All pronounce it one of Ae prettiest and most successful ever held in Gardiner. MARITIME EXHIBITION. liiiitire Oceans ud Rolling Grift Pro dnctiTe of Imaginative Seasickness. Biding Over Cochitnata Canals in Swan Gondolas, Baring naptha Boats and Otbar Bights Under On* Boatoo Roof. Boston, Nov. 28. A visit to Ae maritime exhibition at Mechanics’ Hall proves Aat too much praise Has not been said of Ais fine display. The picture gallery alone is worth the price of admission, for here are seen marine views by celebrated artists, such as Norton, l>e Haas, Hal tali, and others. The whole exhibit is handsomely arranged. In the centre of Music Hall stands Ae beau :iful -‘Quickstep,” gaily decorated with bunt ing. and attracting much attention by its trace and snowy -whiteness. On its deck is given each afternoon and evening a stirring t>and concert, listened to by a large audience comfortably seated in Ae balcony. In ihe main hall is a dainty little craft, leeroingly tossing on a somewhat rough sea, and causing the spei tator to have a queer lensatiou of seasickness. This little boat is made of cigarettes and tobacco, and is well srorth the attention it receives. It is lighted by tiny electric lights and seems likewjairy boat adrift on a miniature ocean. On one aide of the main hall is arranged a large col lection of beautifully-finished row boats, jars, etc. A huge crab, wiA electrically lighted orbs, causes one to glance in that direction, and bere are goods of all kinds to fit out a ship. Dainty biscuits, fresh and crisp, packed in tin boxes, are all ready to go aboard. Here stands a bronsed Italian, with delicate articles in conch-shell, coral and cameo. A man selling microscopes draws a crowd iround him by placing a bit of pruqe on a slide and inviting Ae spectators to look at it The lover of prunes had better refrain, for this bit of prune, not larger Aan a pin-head, a mere speck of white removed from the out aide of the fruit, reveals a crowd of living creatures swarming over each oth?r and squirming and kicking in altogether too livel) a fashion for the aforesaid lover of prunes, •honld he be so unwise as to investigate. The jaw of a whale the models of cele brated boats, the new ship-berth warranted to prevent sea sickness, the models of life boats, and thousands of other interestiag things are inviting attention. The “Dark Secret" which started on a lonely trip across the Atlantic is here, and no one can but be surprised that any person should be so fool hardy as to undertake such a voyage in so frail a craft. Mid ocean is terrible enough to Ae voyager on a stauuch ocean steamer; what most it be to the captain of this cockle shell'? Down in the basement is Ae grand canal, somewhat disappointing at first, but so is the other grand canal, of which Venice is so proud. Cochituate water is as pare prob ably as the waters surrounding Venice, but its odor is not of Ae best. One could wish Aat Condy’s Fluid, exhibited in the main hall, might be brought bere to test its puri fying qualities on the grand canal. Bu: bere is the swan gondola and we step aboard for a sail. Here we go through the splashing water, passing bere a row boat manned by a couple of lively lads, and now a swan boat like oar own, bearing a whole family from husband to baby. Round we go till we bring np to the landing, then we step ashore, and watch the naphtha-hoat as it swiftly and airily passes on filling the atmosphere with whiffs of naphAa It is a pretty little boat and glides easily through the water The grand canal by moonlight—or rather electric light, mast be quite attractive, especially if one could leave bis nose upstairs. Seriously speaking, the odor is not so bad, bnt it seems that a little care might make even Cochituate odorless, thereby adding to the noveltv of having a grand ca-tal indoors, which possesses a charm for children, who ran to and fro on the platforms, watching the boats as they pass by, and sometimes racing with them The Parker House restaurant in the balco ny gives delicious food at reasonable prices. Such oysters!—juicy and sweet as oysters ought to be, bnt seldom are. In various parts of the ball are stands for Ae sale of candy and pop-corn. Advertising cards are not so plenty or as gay as those distributed at former exhibi tions. bat there are quite enough to be bad to prevent the children from going home empty-banded. Boys especially delight in examining the boats and their belongings, and no reasonable person could come sway wiAoat eling his quarter of a dollar had been wall spent. The morning is the best time to examine the exhibits, then after a good lunch one can sit aad listen to the con cert or visit the picture galleries, while the evening can be given to the grand canal and the evening concert. It is to be hoped that the success of the present Maritime Exhibi tion will be such as to warrant further ex hibitions in Ae future. AT MONTREAL fltorm Ragan for Twnoty foor Bonn Delaying tbs Mails. Montreal, Nov. 28.—The storm struck this locality 24 boars ago and is still raging Fonrteen inches of snow has fallen bnt th our citizens, and $145 in cash and a large amount of cooked food ami other supplies were on hand Wednesday night from which to make up the dinners. The Aldermen’s room in Granite hall was a sight for an epi cure yesterday morning just before the ap portionment of the good things was made. A corps of ladies packed the baskets io ac cordant-* with the size of the family and from a m-uu which sported almost every thing in the line of thanksgiving delicacies Every basket contained a chicken or turkey, a roast of pork, beef or lamb, cranberries, three pies apiece all around.home marie bread, doughnuts and cookies, turnips, squash, pumpkins, potatoes and even celery, ami ai abundance of ten, coffee and sugar. Dellv ery teams took one-hundred and twenty ol these baskets of concentrated happiness, and in a quiet way dropped them in out-of the way places, where the deserving poor Amer ican, Irish ami French families of our city re side, and the fervent “God bless you" from many of the recipients would have warmed the cocklea of the hearts of many of our benevolent people some of whom perhaps had done without some delicacies themselves in order that ths less fortunate of their brethren might have a generous sup ply of the necessities of life. It is estimate*) that foor hundred deserving individuals were furnished with bountiful Thanksgiving din ners yesterday who would have otherwise been obliged to do without. The Howard Union and it* enterprising officials are de serving of much praise for tbs skillful and thorough manner io which they have carried out this benevolent enterprise. Well’s Bair Islssai.

Child Question Still a Problem. Still tb>> fluid question is causing a great •U-ai of serious and anxious study.

It has been cal culated that the relative fecundity of tba following three races will he in a century hence in millions Anglo Saxon, 880; (Jar man. 12i>. and French, They are only the poor in France that obev the injunction to increase aud multiply. In no couutry are the rich classes proverbial for their large families. M. Uouanet has produced a small sen*ation by proposing that the state should rear a certain percentage of the child popu lation. It is only a diamond edition of Bousseau'a dream that the parish ought to rear all child ren as it did his. Why not adopt the Spar tan system in its entirety? But all tb)e would not much add to the population O# France, so long as in the case of well-to-do marriages the unionists are determined 10 remain wilfully sterile.

Soule's many friends in this city have been exceedingly lorry to hear sf his determination to close out his business and leave the city, By his enterprise, busi ness ability and strict integrity, he has inads himself one of the most popular wide-awakt and prominent business men in our city, and bis co-workers along Water street and bis •'iellow-citizens throughout the city will join in urging him to still cast his lot with tba people of Augusta, with whom himself and family have been so pleasantly associated I for yeara past.

Turkey done to a brown is all very nice. I But no citizen held aloft with injre pride the cleanly nicked a ishbone than one of our well known jewellers exhibited as ke saun tered down Water street yesterday. Ths ruin wua pouring down ua though Old Prob hud punctured the leaky roof of the Arma ment with gimlet holes. Our friend wore a moat happy amile withal for he hugged un der each arm a fat, full grown turkey alivs and fluttering, feathers all on, and with no •avor of the Thanksgiving dinner about them Well might he be proud, as even ths rifle of Leather Stocking never did better service than did our friend's trusty arm at the shooting match and these same hilarious gallinaceous fowl were trophies.

A bell boy ess immediately sent to Mrs Lockwood, requesting the fa*cr of an interview, and a few minutes later the celebrated lady lawyer, j lecturer and ex-presidentlal candidate, and the Journal man were seated in the cosy hotel parlor enjoying a most social chat. Mrs. Lockwood is a vigorous looking middle aged lady of medium height. She has a pleasant fare ami snapping dark eye«, which, when she become* esn eat in conversation. give her countenance moat animated appearance Her manner is direct end cordial, and ebe i» an admirable con versationalist. having decided opinior a upon ail the leadir g questions of the day. and a fine vocabulary of la> guage in which to ex press them She was plainly attireJ in a dark brown dress, of some soft material, with green plush panels. In her hair, which was considerably streaked with gray, she wore a magnificent dia-j mood aigrette, and an elegant brooch of the same gem* sparkled at her throat Over her bead abe wore a light black lace ■bawl What is the subject of your lecture at Togu# il is evening. Mrs Lockwood?” asked the scribe. •My lecture?" ■•Yes. aru’t you to address the soldiers ttaraf* No indeed, that is not the object of my »,*it. though ihe inference is a natural one as I have lectured considerably on ibis trip. I am going to the Home on pension business m there are a number of claim* there in which mv law tirin is interested I* this your first visit to Maine?’* “Yes this is the first time I was rv»r in this State. I waa in Laconia, N. and delivered my lecture. Marriage Not a Fail ure.’ From there I went to Franklin calls. N. H and lectured on ‘Social and Political Life in Washington.’ It occurred to me that a* i was so near Maine it would be an excellent idea for me to slip down to Togu# and look after our law business in connection with the Home.” •Are the other aiembera of your law firm ladles?” ■Yes. there are two niece# and a daughter iu with roe My daughter has not yet been admitted to the bar and ha* never handled any court ease* as the is a little diffident. Mbs is well read in law, however, and pre pare# all our cases against the government, «f which we have a great number l aui on the road lecturing so much and have so many different mailers to look after that 1 cannot; watch the work of Congress a closely a* should be done in a business tike ours, where we hav so many eases against the Government.’' “That muat be a very eaaential work”. It is indeed. The ruli >g* change, often and involve so much. “I am trying U> work out of my Cou't business ■ov as much as 1 can. although 1 bui obl’grd to do a considerable amount of it.” •How long will you remain in Togu*?’’ ••Well, riot longer than Saturday. I must he in Washington at the opening of Con gress Who i# your favorite for speiker “Well 1 can’t say that f care very much about it. although all things c msideted I feel rather inclined to Mr. Heed. The point urged against him in Wa*hirgti>n is that coming from the Fist he would be liable to be an extremist, more so than Joe annuo who cornea from a more (•••rural Stale.

Of orrse your ideas of public policy in tin# section will differ considerably from those of peop e farther West or South. Take for .n#'sn e tariff. Eastern people stand for h gh tariff, in the West a more moderate view f the question is taken, while in the South the sentiment ha# been strongly in tha direction of Free Trade—till recently, when U is In coming somewhat mixed “Wbat are your views on the tariff. Mrs. Lockwood." “I am neither a high protectionist nor a free Trader. I believe, a* a rule, in a moderate tariff but favor a reduction of the present one. In fact I believe such a reduc tion has got to come. What suits on# section of the country may not suit another. Take silver for instance. Now I am in favor of a frae coinage of it I will not say ualimitcd coinage however “Do you consider that convenient money “Not especially, but it is the money the laborer wants Of course a silver certificate or any kind af a note which has the faith of the government behind it, is good money. The *ilver question noea not appeal particu .particularly to Eastern people but it is the most important staple with some of tbe western Stales, it is the very life of them. Stop silver coinage and it would kill levada. it would seriously injure Colorado, it would hurt Dakota, and militate against California.” What use would you make of the sur plus.” •I would use it m subaidixing merchant •hips, and* thu* building up in Hus cvtntry a commercial marine seen id to Aoue u. the world I do not Ultevr in the conatructioi of new war sli p* an i should favor a reduction of onr standing a’my. I always f.uuabt there was a '»>t amount of trite truth in the r« mark of the D treit Free Preas, that while it would coat u» many millions to baiid n new navy, it wouldu t cost us teu cents to keep oui of a r>w. lo uiy mind the Democratic party let pasa a graal opportunity when it refused to subsidise new line ot steamsiiii** from Sau Frau elsco.” “What do you ihiuk of the annexation ol Canada?” “I am most heart ly in favor of it, or al the least Commercial Union. I belie## w* shall eventually become the United States ol both North and South America. I belie#* we should give Brazil a moat cordial wel come into the Sisterhood of Republic*.” “Don’t you think Dorn Pedro was at *h it- t u sent I the third place, those lio ca 1 g this og have a new experi f God s iov*- and take added joy in rnrisfi presence In the fou’th place it (aK,« ,iM fHpecia* comfort in God’s love and in Clin-t s p ,-sence because it is able to i inn to appreciate holiness and heaven.

In earl u-r years we thought little #f sacred things, had little care for conduct, might have been right, might have been wrong, but all at once we find ourselves possessed of a strong liking for right and a bitter hatred for wrong, and some day »e wake to tbe con sciousness that heaven is indeed begun in our hearts.

In the fifth place it gives the child of God especial interest in God’* word and comfort in pra\er We have already begun to ap preciate God’s love and have a new joy in Christ's presence, and here is a book which contains the recorded will of Him whom we have learned to love. If we really love Him we should look for a new proof of our estab lished relation in the interest which we take in II I recorded will. The same is true of prayers We have the assurance that we shall have the Holy Spirit to guide us if we a«-k. Here the help come* not through the channel of the Divine word, it comes di rectly. This ia an especially strong sign of the t ew life. The new song has been put into the mouth, even praise to God. Here in prayer thi fonff of prai«e get# to the highest 1 rote. We are too much buried in the simple asking We thiuk too much of what we top-’ to receive. not enough of wiut we have already received When we keep tbe idea of praise before us the new 1 born soul haa a song of it* own. one which transform* our life and our thinking t he new *ong is also a pledge of contiuued life In the atmosphere of praise is a very poor f p ace for that which is purely aensual a> I 1 carnal to thrive.

Urn* coudu-t f not absolutely sinful which is unchristian it easily feme lied by this song of pra.«r Gambling, perhaps, may not b* labelled a* f absolute sin vet many people are kept fr m t the kingdom' and Christians are thus kept at great distance and from Christ by thia habit. If the new song had been io our mouth# 1 bo» easily it could have been remedied^ Let the habit of alander be displaced bv this aorg of praise and what a helpful influence would be found for 'he formation of Christian character. This new song f makes us aahamed of our ingratitude, bu. more than thia it haa a direct influence upon t our own heart* and live*. D haa in itaeif a e reforming power.
