Boston, August 4.—Mrs. Charlos S.Gay, living with her husband at 113 Pearl street, Cambridge, left homo about 8 to night to visit friends on Massachussetts avenue, and half au hour later was found by two young men lying unoouscious on a sidewalk on Ellery street, with a bad wound on her head. Beside her lay a handkerchief which is believed to have been used by bor assailants In an attempt to chloroform her,, She was removed to the hospital where later sho gamed consciousness, although she was hysteri cal. She Is about 19, handsome, and was reoently married. She says that while passing through Green street, a wagon oontalntng two men came up behind her and both jumped out. One asked her to ride to Arlington with them. As she screamed and started to run, they seized her, one man placing a handker chief to her faco and the other tied an other one around her neck. She lost consciousness for a time and when shelrecovered she jumped from^the carriage as it was being driven rapidly through Ellery street. Her head struck the Bidewalk and she again lost her senses and knew nothing more till she found herself in the hospital. It is feared in addition to a bad wound on the head, she may be hurt in ternally. Mr. Hay is nearly frantic over the affair. He thinks he knows the men and says they have before endeavored to carry off Mrs. Uay. BENEATH SHADOW OF KEARSARGE. Chautauquans Are Spending Summer Days Host Profitably.

BRYAN AND SEW ALL ENDORSED AFTER A FIGHT. How Mr. Clifford Nearly Stampeded the Convention—Lots of Talk of Gold Bugs and of Wall Street Hell Uouuds—Mr. Staples for Congress. [SPECIAL TO THE FBESS.J Alfred, August 4.— “The hell hounds of Wall street. (Cheers.) “Let the gold bugs squeal awhile.” (Applause and cheers.) ‘‘You can’t measure me by an Eng lish gold yard stlok. (Applause.) You shall not oruclfy mankind upon a cross of gold.” (Tumultous applause.) Whether it In 16 to 1, or two to 1, it Is a dollar and what more do you want!” ‘Whoever oomplained of the weight of a copper cent aa long as three of them pay for a drluk. (Rapturous ap plause. Seldom or never has this town hall in the aneient town of Alfred heard ova tions of the kind which made the rafters ring this afternoon. Was it a Populist convention! It might have been thought so. It masqueraded under the name of the ilemocratio convention of the First Maine district. It was excit ing and It was funny. It was a muoh bet ter attraction than the rival show, the only oalf in York county with six legs and three shoulders. It was more inter esting than the soene of the village streets where the booths of the veanders and the tent of the bovine wonder gave the staid old town the appearanoe of oirons day. If the show at Alfred was an lndloation of what the show at Wat erville will he, that greater exhibition will be well worth the seeing. The Hon. M. F. Frank is happy tonight for he car ried the convention for Bryan and Sewall. The Hon. William Henry Clif ford is not unhappy, for he came within an ace of stampeding the delegates away from the Chicago platform. Joseph A. McGowan Is busy, in all probability, studying a problem of parli amentary law, and the delegates, judg ing from the antics of the afternoon, are vorjr likely trying to figure out where the party in the First District is at in reference to the Chicago tloket, while some thoughtful men ate doubtless try ,ng to estimate the number of bolters made by the action of the convention. A weather oock, gilded on the one side and silver plated on the other might well represent the performances of the oonven tloD. To Isay that the delegates did not know their own minds expresses it but mildly. When the committee on rosolu. tions presented two reports,on endorsing tho candidates of the Chloago convention aim mio wviivi uuu^iu^ biiab lSBUO uy id affirming the [platform adopted by tbe district convention in Portland, June 17, it looked as though the Bryan-Sewnll Frank resolutions would have an easy time of it. But then tbe Hon. Wm. H. Clifford of Portland appeared on the scene with a third resolution which adroitly made a side Issue of Bryan and Sewall and silver and gold, Mr. Clifford deolaring all these things to have nothing to do with the First District contest any way. Mr. Clifford’s eloquent presenta tion of this view of the matter eg com pletely oaptivated his hearers that he soon had them cheering lustily for bis plan. In five minutes he turned them right around. But Hon. M. P. Frank interjected a speech, in which be implied that the men who wouldn’t endorse Bryan and Sewall now would be likely to turn up among tbe boltere in Novem ber next; and right on top of this, Mr. Joseph A. MoGowan of Portland, (be chairman, put tbe question on Mr. Frank’s resolution ondorsing the candi dates, and it went with a rush. Wheth er Mr. Frank’s resolution should have been put first or not is a question. It may not seem of muoh moment, but when a convention changes its mind as a weather vane boxes tbe compasB an a Incidentally, Mr. E. W. Staples of Bld deford was nominated for Congress, but that didn’t out muoh ice in oomparison with the tight over the resolutions. This is the way It all came about: The convention was oalled to order at quarter past one by Hacno W. Gage, Esq., who introduoed Mr. Joseph A. Mo Gowan of Portland as temporary chair man. Mr. MoGowan spoke briefly in opening the show. He announced that he had no sympathy for the bolter, a statement greeted with considerable ap plause. Democrats who differed over the Chicago platform could settle their dif ferenoes within their ranks and should do so without calling each other names. The existence of poverty in the midst of plenty Indioated to Mr. McGowan something. Many and he thought this was a time when the ioonoolast had a divine mission. Mt. MoGowan then in a bit of word painting, which would have been creditable to the boy orator of the Platte himself, drew a picture of Mr. Bryan standing on the top of the Kooky Mountains and smiling down upon the Democrats of Maine. Why Mr. MoGowan transported the oandidate from the prairies of Nebraska to the Kooky Mountains, is pot apparent. It would havo| been equally picturesque to have put Mr. Bryua on Mt. Washington and it would not have been such a tax on his eyesight to disoover the Maine Democrats. There were found to be 191 of 243 dele gates present, and the temporary orga nization was made permanent as fol lows Chairman—Joseph A. McGowan. Vice Presidents—Moses H. Libby, San ford; Ivory Bickford. Kennobunkport; Joel W. Marshall, Buxton; Theodore S. McLellan,Brunswick; Lutner B. Roberts, Deering; John E. Greene, Portland. Secretaries—P J. Smith, Biddeford; W. H. Clifford, Jr., Portland. On motion of Hon. M. P. Frank, that the chair appoint a committee on resolu tions, Hon. M. P. Frank, Hon. W. H. Clifford, Kimball Eastman, L. A. Stev ens, F. Verrill and Dr. H. A. Wey mouth wore made suoh a committee. The committee went down stairs to struggle with tho flnanoiHl plank without calling each other names in accordance with the good advice of the ohairman. The ohair announced that the nomina tion of a candidate for Congress was in order and then the convention waited. From outside, the'hush of the summer noontide was broken by the voioe of the proprietor of the rival show, oalling out tbs wonderful sight presented by the calf with ulx legs and three should I V' Hon. E. W, Staples. ers. Inside, the convention resembled a Quaker meeting, so quiet had it become at the mere mention ol the duty of picking out a congressional martyr. The delay was further prolonged by the re quest of the oommittee ou resolutions that the nomination be deferred until after they had reported. While waiting, Capt. Charles H.Ohase, chairman of the oommittee appointed to select u district oommittee, reported the following, who were eleoted: H. W. Gage, Portland; Goo. B. Emory, Gor ham ;JHarry E. Thompson, Brnnswiok; E. E. Heokbert, South Portland; Joseph W. Peters, Portland; James W. Meserve, Buxton; E. A. Huboard, Biddeford; Geo. F. Plaisted, York; C. 8. Small, Liin lngton; F. J. Allen, Sanford. Finally the oommittee on resolutions came baok, and the War Eagle, Tris tram Gcldthwalte, said there had never been a; time in bis life when he took more pleasure in presenting a name at a convention than he did in nominating E. W.“ Staples of Biddeford, a man on whom the sun had never set in defeat when he was the standard bearer of tbe Democratic party. Hon. W. H. Clifford seoonded the nomi nation of Mr. Staples, a representative of that oity of Biddeford which bad been the seat of so many.glonous Democratic victories. With Mr. ^.Staples as the candi date, we can show that the Democracy of old York and Comberland still lives. The nomination was made by acclama tion and as^the committee on notifica tion, the chair named Virgil G. Wilson, Llewellyn Barton, Hampden Fairfield and S. M. Came. Then came the battle. Hon. M. P. Frank for the 'committee on resolutions, said that after some discussion, the com mittee had been unablei to agree on all points. Three signed the report whioh Mr. Frank would read and the other three would present another report. Mr. Frank read the following, which was greeted with considerable applause. It was signed b7 Messrs. Frank, Eastman and Weymouth: ‘‘Kesolved, That the Democrats of the First District in convention assembled, reaffirm their adherence to the time honored principles of the Demooratio party as enunciated by its great founder, ■ieferson, and maintained and defended by tee firmness of Jaokson, and especial ly to that cardinal principle of Demoora oy, absolute acquiescence in the will of the majority, and they pledge their loyal support to the candidates nominated ac the national convention at Chicago and will use every honest effort to secure their election as well as the election of the nominee of this convention.” Mr. Lt. A. Slovens then reported the other set of resolutions whioh reaffirms the gold plank adopted by the district convention at Portland, June IT and pledged support to Candidate Staples. Mr. Stevens In moving the adoption of theso resolutions, said that the Port land plank had been unanimously adopt ed. Mr. John Cooper of Saco promptly took exceptions to the statement that the Portland distrlot convention had adopted its platform unanimously. He had pro tested against It then and he believed that now many Demoorats regretted the adoption of that gold plank at Portland. Mr. Fred Wiggin of Saoo was vigorous in his support of the gold platform. He said the Issue before this country was gold monometallism or silver monome tallism. To talk of bimetallism now was absurd. Then came Alexander Higgins, the Mirabeau of Soarboro. Mr. Higgins was In Sne fettle and be waked up the dele gates who cheered and yelled as the Soarboro orator proceeded. This oonntry, he declared, stands today on a sound basis, the gold standard. I know but very little.about it, but I stand ready to follow those who do kuow, such men as John G. Carlisle and Grover Cleve land. I will follow them as long as I draw breath. 1 stated in our county con vention that I would not vote for Bryau

and Bewail and I will not. This Mr Higgins shouted with a swing of his arm. He made bis meaning clear. In the Chicago convention they Insulted every honest Demoorat. They turned down Hill and took Daniel for chair man. Hut worst of all they took Grover Cleveland and turned his picture toward the wall. Let them right those wrongs and then I will talk of voting for them. At the conclusion of Mr. Higgins’s remarks everyone of his hear ers probably understood that until Cleve lands’ face is taken from the wall, the Mirubeuu of oearobro is.a bolter. Geo. F. Haley, Esq., supported tho gold platform. He thought that thore need be no trouble, but that tho other side should give way to some degree. In other words Mr. Haley was willing to swallow the Chicago nominations If he could have the platform adopted at Portland. Mr. Cooper of Saco said that the Chica go platform was in favor of bimetallism at 16 to 1. Tho Portland platform was a gold document the first In the history of the Democratic party. Mr. Kimball Eastman of Westbrook told of tho differences in the committee. The point where the mom hers differed was on tho endorsement of the national ticket. Mr. Eastman and bis associates olalming that the national ticket should be endorsed, especially as it had on It the name of a Maine man. Mr. Staples of Limington, a gentleman with long, gray Peffers, then made a rousing Populistio speech, to make the goldbugs squeal. Here’s the point, he said: News came to us that two thirds of the national convention had voted for the nomlueos. What are we coiner to do nDoun it? Not as kiokers, not as turbu lent tault finders, not aB a section whioh aggregates to itself all tbe wisdom of the world, but as farmers—I am a coun tryman, (laughter), and we havo decid ed up in our little oommuuity that we must obey the voice of tbe majority. (Loud applause.) Mr. ,r Staples was'glad to be here. He always liked i to go to a York county eonvention. It scorned like a religious confereuce. (Laughter.) I wan’t you to know me inside and out you can’t measure me by an English gold yardstick. (Great applause.) I’m willing to take the. other end of this dilemma. Let’s turn it round and let the gold bugs squeal awhile. Gentlemen of this convention, you shall not press down upon the brow of labor that crown of thorns. You shall not oruoify man kind on a oross of gold. E. G. Jordan of Portlahd called for a second thought. Oh, for a little mare time, he sighed. Even the framers of the Chicago platform had thought twice and had resorted to forgery to take out of tbe platform the attack on the Supreme Court, in nnswer to tha indig nant protests of the country. Mr. L. A. Stevens would remind Mr. Staples as a farmer, he must reap what he sowed. Mr. Staples—I do, and you cannot reap what other people sow. J£Mr. Stevens—I don’t. (Great howling of delight from the baok of the hall.) Mr.Stevens was iu the mirisf r.f a fnrel bla explanation of the fallaoy of tno free silver argument when he was hurled down by orlea of question. 3 He appealed for fair play as a lifo-lona Democrat who had never before taken 15 minutes of the time of a Democratic convention. “Don’t, howl anybody down—Go on,’’ cried the delegates, and Mr. Stevens con tinued. You talk about the arime of.1873 which demonetyzed silver. What about the crime of 1896, if yon dem onetizo eredlt and stop business. Mr. Chair man, I have been a Democrat ever sluce I was a boy, and 1 have never out a ticket. But first of all 1 am a oitizen, and 1 ask the adoption of this platform that I may vote the Democratio tioket in September. Who are you going to lose if you adopt it? Won’t the silver men vote for it? It is a long time to November l and many who cannot now endure the Chicago platform may be eduoated up to it by then. I confess that I should have to be educated to it if I endorsed that platform. Llewellyn Barton thought that any man who lntendod to vote for Bryan and Sewall in November could vote for the resolution endorsing them. That wus the question at iseue, not the gold and silver controversy. If the Chicago plat form wna fmdnrsnri Mr. ‘Rfirtnn ohnnlrl vote against the resolution. There had been Demooratio candidates before who had been supported by men who had split upon the platform. Then in the answer to calls Mr.CliSord took the platform. Mr. Clifford urged the adoption of the Stovens resolution, arguing that the Democrats would then be nnited and that after the Sep tember election they could settle their differences over the Chicago platform. But the oonventiou evidently did not like the Stevens resolution and Mr. Clifford then produced a new resolution, one which lie said pleased him better than Mr. Staples’s. It. road as follows: “Resolved, That the Democrats of the First Congressional district of Maine in convention assembled, reaffirm Iheir attachment to the principles of Demo cracy and pledge their united and cordiul support to the nominee of this conven tion.” Waving this paper, Mr. Clifford stood at the .front of the stage. “Will you en dorse that?” he shouted, and ho caught the oonveution. It looked like a stam pede, and Mr. Frank looked anxious. “Yes,” came the cry. “Give us that one. We’ll tnke“it. ^|We’ll vote for that. Withdraw the others.” Mr. Clifford bad oaptured the crowd. His resolution was just what it wanted for the moment and was on the point Continued on Second I’age, Prevailed at Brown Hoisting Works Yesterday. A SMALL SPARK MAY CHAALE PEACE TO WAR. The Man Prinz Who Was Shot In Satur day’s Riots Probably Cannot Recover Dire Threats Made Against His Slayer. Cleveland, O., August. 4.-Ready-for an-emergency feeling permeated the air in the vicinity of the Brown Hoist Works this raornlug. There was peaoe, but it was armed peaoe and both sides knew that a small spark would change peace to war. At 7 a. m. tho time for the commence ment of^work at the Brown works 150 men had entered the various shops. They were all non-unionists. The .union men claimed that no one of their number %ad deserted the oau3e. Ou every street within a radius of nearly a mile of the plant soldiers and locked out men pu trolle the sidewalks. Many of the soldiers were doubly armed, woaring belts uiul revolvers as well as oarrylug guns. A number of locked out men also carried guns. It waB given out by the f physicians nt St. Clair hospital this morning that Prinz the man shot near tho Brown TOnrVa Kuf.nxilow mm ufifll a nxlt E 1 condition and Ilia ohanoeB for recovery were about ooe in ono thousand. Ever since the shooting of Priuz there havejbeen ominous inutterlngs by tbe men as to what they will no should Prinz die.

MOORE BROS. FAILURE. €«Hapse of Most Gigantic Speculation Ever Known in Chicago. Speculative Deal in New York Biscuit and Diamond Match Stocks—Tli a Cause— Chicago Stock Exchange Closed. Chicago, Aug.4.—The speculative deal !n Diamond Matoh and New York Bis cuit stocks has come to an end through the failure of the Mooro Bros. The greatest speculation ever known in Chicago has culminated In the failure of the people who were behind the deal The Chicago stook exchange stood adjourned at 10 o’clock this morning for an indefinite period. This notion was decided upon at a meeting held last night which assembled informally after the announcement, which was made lato in the afternoon by Mr. .Tames H. Moore that margin oalls could no longer be met. It is said, tnought, the adjournment will last but a few days and that matters within that time can be straightened out lu a way that will make the losses as tjasy as possiblo to bear. It is not at the present time possible to make an; estimate of how large the fig ure Is or what its ramifications may he. The Moores have unquestionably pur chased an enormous line of both New York Biscuit and Diamond matoh stock. Tbo high price at wbioh Diamond Match ■Cock has been selling makes the sum involved extremely large. The onpital stook of the Diamond Matoh Co. is ill, 000,000 and of the New York Bisouit $9,000,000 and it is estimated that the Wnnri'fl Iirva nurnlmsfui half the fitook of the Diamond Match Company and their purohase of New York Biscuit stook per haps bears as laige a proportion to tho total. Both concerns are known to be in first class condition. At the usual hour of opening the stook exobange was filled with members but no business was being transacted. Never in the hietoiy of the exchange has there been suoh suppressed excite ment. It is believed that the Moore fail ure will aggregate between seven and eight millions. Aocording to an authority James H. Moore and William H. Moore, his broth er, owned $5,500,000 worth of Diamond Match stook. A portion of this amount was owned in fee before the speculation in the stock* began.; Much however, was bought at prioes ranging between 150 and 210. The Moores holdings were a majority of the total stock issued. It eo happened, however, that the balanoe of the stook was held by a great many stockhold ers. Soon after the stock began its aerial flight these minority stockholders began unloading and in each case the persons who bought the purchaseable stook were James Moore and bis brother. Most of these purchases were not Gash purchases but on account, some of them running SO, some 00 days. Margins of five per cent, were given and in this way at least $2,000,000 worth of tho stock was bought. Two banks in Connecticut, one in Bridgeport nr»d the other in Hartford, were the holders of jthe stock as trustees. As the stock fluctuated in value or the timo limit for purohase account expired more margins had to tye deposited. In this way not less than 60 per cent, on par value of stock was paid. All this tho Moores paid without flinching but in tho long ruu the stock became, notwith standing its extraordinary intrinsic value, a frightfully heavy load to carry. Ar last the two brpthers were substanti ally the only proprietors df .thstbig. enter prise. Ti e result was iuevitajjle.fthu the crash followed. And thus it happens that today while tho Moores are the losers to the tune of $10J,000,000 or $20,000,000, the numerous minority stockholders are the winners, for they have boen tho beneficial ies of r.hfl margin n»1d And t.liflir et.nnlr is ct.il 1 theirs although hold in\trust. Tho governing committee has appoint ed a sub-committee to oonfer with bank ers and capitalists with tho object of forming a pool to take oi«re of the Moore holdings of the Diamond Match and Mew York Biscuit. It is believed that an effort will be made to syndicate tho Itaamond Match stock now out at 1870. If such aotlon is taken the danger of possittie failures re sulting from the collapse of tho Moore Brothers will be much lessened Chicago banks and bankers who hold approximately $4,000,000 worth of Dia mond Matoh stock as collateral for money loaned will not press the borrowers for a settlement. It Is said that the banks have decided to accept the stock of the Diamond Matoh owned by the Moore brothers at a cash value of 170. Probably tho heaviest losers in the ool lapse next to the Moore brothers them selves are the brokers who had been do ing business for them on the oxoahnge. At the big stock broker’s offices there was a general feeling of uneasiness, the big failure having stunned and surprised everybody. Among the brokers there was only ap proval or the oourse of the exchange officials in uloslng the Institution tempor arily. WESTBROOK. Mr. and Mrs A. E.

Continued from First Page. of being adopted. Mr, Stevens with drew the endorsement of tho Portland plank. But then camo a hitch. Mr. Frank began to speak and tho delegates woro soon cheering Bryan and Sowall as lustily as they had just cheered Mr. Cliilord’s resolution. Mr. Frank wanted to know what man who had announced his intention of vot ing for Bryan and Sowall oould not vote for the resolution endorsing them? Who but the meu who had novor said they would vote for the ticket were op posing it? Ho didn’t propose to be led by Lombard street. Wall street, and the Hopublican party. He wanted to send nows to Bryan and Sewall that the Dem ocrats of this district were enthusiastic in their support. Mr. Wm. J.Uhadbourno of Alfred oame to Mr. Frank’s aid. Mr. Chadbourno’s speeoh had the real wild wost flavor of the Populists. The dishonest gold bugs, the Wall street hell hounds and various other peo ple with equally picturesque names, were denounced by Mr. Uhadbourne. When the government issues a dollar, whether it is 16 to 1 or 20 to 1, it is a dol lar and what more do you want of it? Pig tail tobacoo was once money in «u« country. wncover complained ol the weight of ft oup per cent as long as three of them would pay for a drink. (Long and loud applause nud cheers). If this government issues any kind of mon ey you oan pay your debts. They’ve got to take it, like the Dutchman's wife who was going to die because she could not help herself, as the Dutohman put it. Mr.Cbadbourne couldn’t understand why newspapers wohII tell such damnable lies about this question. Now there are those people who oan’t swallow the whale they make of the Chi cago platform. Well, they’ll get onto the shore by and by. Somebody will vomit them up. Who are the men who are so particular about candidates. They are the Mugwumps, men jwlio never vote twice conseoutively for the same party. They are the men who want to be voted for, but nobody wants them. A voioe—How about George Fred Wil liams, isn’t he n Mugwump? Mr. Chadbourne—Wall, he’s pretty devilish near it. At last came.the voting. It was done by show of bands, Mr. McGowan oalling first for a vote on Mr. Frank’s resolu tion endorsing the ticket. Sixty-two hands wont up in its favor. “Those opposed,” said the chairman, “will hold up their hands.” “Hold thorn way up,” said young Mr. Clifford, the secretary. “Hold up both hands nud then you won’t have enough,” shouted Luther Roberts. “It’s 16 to I,” came a voice from the baok of the hall. The Dry an and Sewall ticket was endorsed 63 to 36 and the show was over. Mr. MoGowan’s method of putting ike question was tho subject of some discus sion afterward. Mr. MoGowun said that each set of resolutions was supported bv three members of the committee and that It seemed to him Mr. Frank’s being the first presented should be first to be act ed upon. On tbs other hand it was argued that Mr.Clifford’s resolution took the place of Mr. Stevens’s which was in the nature of a substitute and conse quently it should be acted upon first. A Mr. Clifford was the last speaker, as fco replied briefly to Mr.Frank, had his reso lution come first, the fiakle-mlnded dele gates might hnve given It more than 35 votes. Perhaps the stampede might have occurred after all. That is the view some good Demoorats seemed to take of U. At noon, Hon. John B. Donovan en tertained many of the prominent men present with a delicious lunch. Mr. Wm. H. Clifford, Jr., attained his majority only a few days ago. His ser vice In the convention is his entrance to political life. Painchaud’s band was In attendance and made gcod music. After the convention, Messrs. John Scott and E. 0.

Amos, keeper of the lights on Rockland breakwater, has re cently replaced the old lanterns with two new and improved ones, under the orders of the government. The Boston Ban gor Steamship oompany has also fur nished him with an immense steel tri angle to be struck in response to tbe whist'-’s of their steamers in thick and foggy weather. An order for throe million feet of spruoe deals has been received in Bangor and will be shipped at an early date; for several days the news of the order has teen up and down Exchange street and its publication has been expeoted, al though the firms interested do not care to say anything about it. The big order is dealt out to several prominent firms, of whioh F. W. Ayer Co., Stetson Cutler and the Walkers are said to be three; otber firms are interested, too, and the total is divided amongst them in uneven quantities, ranging from 250, 000 upwards. They will be taken aboard in three steamers. A rumon was afloat Monday that a murder had been committed near Keyes Corner, Gardiner, at the house of Wm. A. Nolan. Mr. Nolan says bis wife got him to puil a front tooth for her, and he did. It bled so long that they were frightened. Dr. Smith succeeded in stopping the bleeding. This was Thurs pay, the 23d of July. The next Thurs day the wife complained of feeling sick, the doctor was sent for, hut before he name the woman foil over dead. The doctor and horonor were called and said it was a case of apoplexy. Sheriff Choate and Coroner Patterson exhumed the body after burial, and the sheriff gays: “We held a very careful examination and found that a soft place in the brain was enough to cause the woman to die in nn apopletio fit. The bruises on the body were not newly made, so the only thing we could do was to let Mr. Nolan go. 1 do not say that he is guilty or lnnocont in my opiuion, though there are several reasons whioh would point to things be ing rather suspicious, but the report of tho coroner surely must relieve all doubts from our minds.” A Household Necessity For the toilet, for the baby, for insect bites, for chafes, for tender feet, for all surface inflammation, is indispensable,— a pure, medicated antiseptic preparation, that proves its worth in a single application, and by continual use insures a perfect complexion and a soft, clear, Healthy Skin.

A well known Portland Democrat re ports a carious and Interesting dnauoial transaction in which a friend of his in Chicago has been interested. The story throws a valuable side light upon the al leged prosperity ot Mexioo, our nearest silver-using neighbor. Not long ngo the Chicago frieud went, to Mexioo and bargained for fifty thou sand dollars' worth of the government bonds of that country. The price agreed was muoh below par, about 64 cents on the dollar if our information is correct. At this late the *50,000 of bonds would cost $37,000 In Mexico, i. e., in Mexican dollars. But the long-headed Chioago man had not completed the transaction. He returned to the United States and bought 37,000 Mexican dollars, for whloh he paid 65 oents each in United States, gold standard, money. Thus the 37,000 Mexican dollars cost him $14,860. With them he returned to Mexioo und paid for his bond*, the whole $50,000 worth oost ing him $14,850 iu our money. Should this country follow the lead of Bryan and Sewall, the people of Canada and Europe would be performing simi lar speculations with our bonds. OBITUARY. Charles Ste wart Daveis Fessenden. The following oircular letter,addressed to the medical offioers of the United States marine hospital service, is of in terest in Portland: It is with regret that I have to an nounce to the medical officers of the ser vice of the death on the 33d instant, from a complication or Heart ana Kidney affeo tiou, of Surgeon Charles Stewart Davels Fessenden. Surgeon Fessenden was the senior surgeon of the oorps, having since April 4, 1861—a period of more than 35 years. He was bom In Portland, Me., February 23 1828, and was of a family noted in the unnals of his native state and the nation.

Two nephews of Surgeon FeesendeD rose to the rank of brigadier general during the Civil War, and others have been prominent in private life, two of them In the profession of medioiue.

The Gold Standard Argument for Wage Earners. (From the New York Evening Post.) Q. What da the free coinage leaders especially charge against the gold starnl ard? A. They deolare that it haa helped the rich and has caused distress and loss to everybody else. Q. Is this statement true? A. It is not. Q. Suppose the gold standard had worked injury to every one except the rioh; how should wo know the fact? A. People with small incomes would have been growing steadily poorer ainoe the gold standard was adopted. Q. Have suoh people been irowlng poorer? A. On the oontrary, their pros perity, since this country returned to the gold standard, in 1879, has increased in an unprecedented degree. Q. What proof have you of this? A. The increase in savings banks deposits. Q. By whom are suoh deposits made? A. They consist almost entirely of the surplus income of tradesmen, Wage earn ers and small producers. Q. What are the figures of these depos its? A. In 1879 the total savings bank deposits in the United States were $802, 490,298; in 1896 they were $1,844,357,789 increase, $1,041,867,500, or 129 per cent. Q. What is your authority for these figures? A. The official statements of the savings banks, of the United States government, published in the reports of the controller of the ourrenoy. Q. What do the figures show? A. They show that during the seventeen years since this country's return to the flU|)|V BVUUUU1U) UUD au T UX l VO poorer people have been a thousand mil lion dollars larger than they wore in any preoediug period. Q. Are the savings bank deposits our only proof time the people have prospered under the gcId standard? A. The build ing and loan associations are another striking pioof. Q. Who are the depositors with build ing ana loan associations? A. Chiefly wago earners, tradesmen and people with small salaries. Q. What do the reports of these asso ciations show? A. Twelve yeurs ago the deposits with such associations were com paratively insignificant. In 1892 the re turns of the United State department of labor showed the aggregate to be $600,000, 000. Today the total of these deposits in this oountry is estimated at $750,000,000. Q. How do all these figures compare with savings bank deposits and with building and loan association accounts in countries now on a silver standard A. Such countries have neither savings banks nor building and loan associations. Q. Why? A. Presumably because the wage-carnets in those countries have no savings to depsoit. Q. How do you explain so enormous an increase in the savings of our people? A. Wages have inoreased since the re turn to the gold standard Great improve ments and extension of production have lowered prices and reduced the cost of living. This has necessarily inoreased the people’s savings. Q. What Is your authority for stating that wages have inoreased sinae our adop tion of the gold standard? A. The highest known authority, the United States Senate report of 1892, already re ferred to in this oateohiera. Q. How hiuoli does this report show average wages to have increased since the resumption of speoie payments? A. Up to the latest data covered by the re port they had increased 20 8-4 per cent. In many industries the increase had been much larger. Q. Then the average wage-enrner’s in come has inoreased uador the gold Stand ard, while living expenses have decreased for everybody? A. Suoh are the fnots. Q. Would this advantage continue un der free sliver coinage? A. It could not. We have already shown that wages would not increase spontaneously, if at all, while prices for neoossaries of life would rise rapidly. Q. Do the free coinage leaders admit this ceitaia rise in prices? A. They do; they deolare that all prices are now too low, and that free coinage will raise them. O Tbit do not these nennle claim that high prices for food, olothiug and house hold necessaries will cause general con tentment and prosperity? A. They do. Q. How oan we be sure that they are not right A. Read up the record of years when curreucy inflation had causeu high prices in this couutry Look into the condition cf :other countries, where prioes now are high under a silver stand ard. Q. When were prices and living ex panses highest in this country? A. In 1865 and 1866. Q. What did the Amerioan people of that time think of the high prioes? A. They oomplained bitterly. Q. Where can we find any record of such complaint. A. Go to a public library and read the newspapers of those years. Q. Give some illustrations. A. In 1865 the New York papers seriously ad vised people to stop eating meat in order to cheok the high prioes. Letters from readers published in these papers oom plained that milk, butter, coal and ice were almost beyond the pour man’s reach. One letter, in the New York Times of June 29, 1865, deserves to be quoted. “All last winter,” the writer says, “I could hardly afford to buy any meat. The little bits of beef and mutton that we poor people buy cost so much that my wife say6 it is like eating money.” You oan readily oousult all these published letters. Q. Would people object to high prioes now as much as they did then? A. Every head of a family and every house keeper is competent to answer this ques tion. 11 JT11VJCB nUVtlHliDU UIJIIDI UOD GUI 11' age, would not the employer of labor bo able to pay very much higher wages? A. His owu living expenses would iuorease as fast as his income, his business would be thrown into confusion end ail bis profits would become a matter of specu lation. Q. Was this his experience when prioes rose before 1865? A. It was emphatloally his experience. Q. But surely, if the money supply increased, the wage earner would get his share? A. Ho could got not more than his employer paid him. Q. But might not his employer advance wages simply because the money ^supply had increased? A. We leave the answer to this question to the wage earner him self.

CAMPAIGN SPECTACLES. Fireworks, Transparencies, Banners and Lanterns Galore. Tlie Napoleon Hat in Evidence—Thousand of Dollars Will Be Spent lu Arousing tlie EnshuBiasm 'of the Multitude Be fore Election Day. The leaders of military bands antici pate a lively season and they will not be disappointed. A prominent New York dealer in fireworks says: “We Jare very busy now in filling orders for fireworks for the coming campaign. That the de mand will be large admits of no doubt. I have found, as a rule, that the Bepub lioan political clubs will havu non® but the best of fireworks, and are lavish spenders even for small demonstrations. What they will do when the parading season fairly opons Is more than I can say, but I shall get together a large stock, and am sure that none of it Will be left on my hands.” His neighbors in the trade had the same opinion. The banner makers are already busy. It> takes time to make banners and their cost is considerable. But the makers are taking more than usual pains this year, and the portraits of Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hobart are being reproduced with care. Clubs can get a very good banner for $5. They can get others at prices which run into the hundreds. A political parade without transparen cies would lose half of Its interest. The makers of these quadrangular incentives to enthusiasm are busy. The transpar encies oomo in all sizes. They can be had in foot-square sizes or ten-foot sizes, and in the intermediate grades. Inscrip tions will he printed on them to order. Dealers in campaign furnishings are hustling. The demand will soon begin. Tawdry capes and obeao hats no longer have place in political parades. ‘Napolon’ hats will oe the feature buxci xuij, duiu u uvcaiui in umiijiuiKii goods. “We will have them in all sizes and will be ready to supply tboiu promptly in large or small lots. Uni forms are now generally supplied by the big retail dealers in clothing. The men who parade only three or four times do not oare, however, to spend too much money, and for these we will have ready suitable uniforms at low prioes. I antic ipate a 'rush in September.’ An attractive feature in the campaign will be the display of posters. These will be calculated to cno h the eye, and will be posted all over tbe city. The ma jority of them will be slightly modified. Aubrey Beardsley designs, tbe startling outlines of this work being only modi fied so that no suspicion of ridioule can be entertained. Tbe cumpaign button has been on tbe market for several weeks. It is three quarters of an inch In diameter, and is enameled. These buttons are supple mented by badges whioh are made obiefly of silk, fringed with gold. The red, White and blue badge is the favo rite, with the pure white badge printed in gold the nest best in demand. The Republican clubs are having these badges ma’de especially for them. The badges come in many styles, but on all of them tbe names of tbe nominees appear, and when tho size of the badge permits, their pictures, too. A man must be poor indeed who can not afford a campaign flag this year. These flags come in every size, and are made of paper, printed muslin and silk. Thoy vary in price from 1 oent to $20, and even moro. The Amerioan flag, of course, predominates, but the olubs will also carry flags made for them and suit ably inscribed. Torches are being made in large numbers. They are meant to show every oolor. and are made with speoial reference to withstanding wind aud rain. For those who prefer lanterns there is a large stock now in tbe hands of dealers, from whioh selections can be made. These lanterns are made of red, white and bine glass, combined, or they can be had in solid colors, the idea being that men carrying them can Dy properly forming combine the three colors and produoe the red. white and blue effeots in solid linos. There is already much activity among the Republican olubs InfNew York city, and good-natured rivalry as to whioh elub shall make the best apperance in the streets. The quarters of the organi zations are crowded nightly, and plans are being rapidly formulated for the suc cessful carrying out ot tbe proposed pa rades and other demonstrations. The men will drill regularly and nnrfeot themselves in street mnrohing. Many of the clubs are already experts in dril ling, but they meet every week and go through the evolutions which they will perform in the coming parades. There are in all these olubs members of the Na tional Guard, and upon these men falls the task of instructing the clniis in mili tary maneuvers. Muob hard work must be done before September, but the men are working hard, and the good results of their labors will bo seen this fall. Neatly uniformed, led by bands, oarryiug bril liant torches which will be paled only by the discharge of brilliant fireworks, and inspired by the surety of victory tne Republicans in New York will cer tainly make the spectacular part of the camp aign a deoided feature of it.

Tbe Democrats will gather at Wa^er Ville to try ami find out where they are at. _——- Mr. Alexander Higgins seems to know exactly where he stands and to be able to toll. Tho ideal resolution offered at Alfred yesterday was that which emanated fr m the Hon. William H. Clifford in dorsing the principles of the Democratic party. That committed nobody or any thing in particular and left the silver men free to claim a vetory and the gold mans equally free. The idea that it is tho fiat of the gov ernment that makes money is at the bot tom of the free coinage delusion and if that oouid he eradicated there would be very much less freo silver sentiment. To a great many men the idea that there can be a difference between dollars is incomprehensible, simply because they assume that it is the government that oonfers value. As a matter of fact all tho government does when it coins mon ey is to certify to its weight and fine ness. How muoh it shall purohase, that is how muoh of commodities men shall give for it it does not determine and can not. Only in rare cases can the govern ment Cat confer value. It can deloluro that one of its dollars shall be taken at its nominal value in payment of debts, and it can enforce that decree, because to collect debts men have to use the machinery of the courts. But how muoh of commodities men shall give for it it is powerless to decree. The government can take 53 cents worth of silver and stamp it one dollar but it cannot compel anybody to receive it in exchange for 1U0 cents worth of wheat. The college presidents and professors continue to declare ugainst the Chicago platform and candidates. Says President Low of Columbia: “I shall vote and spoak for McKinley and Hobart. 1 have no knowledge of the attitude of the Columbia faculty and am not authorized to speak .for theca. The Chicago platform is full of dangerous dortrlne. Says President Pat ten of Princeton “This issue is plainly on the financial integrity of the country and it is scarcely necessary to say that I favor the gold standard and shall sup port Mr. McKinley for Prescient.’’ Prof. Ormond, head of the department of philosophy and Prof. West of the depart ment of Latin expressed themselves as strongly favorabo to McKinley and gold. Prof. Ormond has hitherto opposed the Republican party because of its high tariff advocaoy. Prof. Daniols head of tho department of political eoonomy is also for gold. THE FIRST DISTRICT DEMOCRATS. The First District Democrats held their convention yesterday, but one will searoh in vain for any expression of opin ion in titeir platform on any of the pressing questions of the day. Nobody can tell from that doouinent whether they are for free silver or for the main tenance of tho existing gold standard. They have nominated a man for Con gress. but what policy they expect him *o support if elected, nobody cun learn T~ rom any declaration made by the con vention. Of course, praotioaliy, it is a matter of little account, for there is no possibility of his election, but a great party is expected to have some definite vlows on tho pressing political questions of tho day, and when it deolares that it has not or has not the courage to explain them, it can hardly expect to command much respect or attention from intelli gent men. The endorsement of Bryan and SewaJl would soem to indicate the silver men had a majority of the convention, but the failure to say anything on the money question would seem to show that there was a considerable element wniob was opposed to free coinage which was ready for open revolt If tho convention under took to jam the Chioago resolutions down their throats. Even Brother Frank, who has blossomed out ns a free silver man, thought It wise to go no further than to offer an endorsement of Bryan audSewall without any reference to the platform. CURRENT COMMENT. MR. REED AS A SPEEOHMAKER. (New York Sun.) Speaker Thomas B. Reed’s spoeoli at Afred, Me., which marks the opening of tho Republican campaign in that state, was like ail bis publio addresses—forcible by its very freeedom from exaggeration and refined simplicity Jof expression, wholesome with homely similes lit up by flashes of humor uud an easy convey sational tono. Mr. Reed makes no pre tensions of oratory. He is not an adept in the trioks of tho elocutionist. He cooid not poso to save his life. And yot his spoken woids are wonderfully effect lxtu errtiothor Vionvrl op rouri rPV»xa la Him to tho philosophical bent of Mr. Reed’s wind and bis gift of terse but continu ous expression which anyone may follow without effort. Mr. Reed sometimes says u partisan thing but never says a foolish thing. He is a sovere crito of popuular error but so cl3ar headed that it isn’t in him to bo intemperate or prejudiced. Evon those who dissent from the speak er’s views listen to and read his speeohus with composure and with a sense of on tortalnmeut and satisfaction. Mr. Reed is a big man because he is sane. He is a strong man because ho is fair to soe the other side. He is a likeable man because he is human, in this year’s campaign Mr. Heed will speak to a larger audienoe than he has ever had before for it in cludes a great many of the Democrats of tho country, who, it may bo said are more fond of the Maine leader than they are of any other Repuhlioan.

WORK ON THE NEW WARSHIPS, Progress Reported by Chief Constructor Hicllborn. Washingon, Aug. 2.—An interesting statement showing the condition of a number of new vessels of tho Navy has been prepared in the office of Chief Con structor Hiohboru. The statement refers to the progress of work on twenty-three ships. It was made up from official re ports to the Bureau of Construction scut iu by Naval officers acting as govern ment inspectors. Tho statement puts the Oregon down as completed. This ship is in commission at the Mare Island navy yard, and will shortly join the Pa ciSo fleet, probably In time to take part in the sen evolution planned by Admiral Beard sloe. Next in the order of readiness for a cruise is the Massachusetts. She, too, is in commission. All of her construction work is flnishod, and it only remains to put her supplies on board to make her reauy ior service, cue ih io join aurain Buuce’s fleet. This she will piobably do some time this month, making the sec ond powerful battleship iu that finest of American squadrons ever assembled. The Iowa is reported Bt5 per cent, com pleted. All of her armor has been de livered to the Cramps. Iler guns are ready, but the gun oarriages are some what behind. The new battle ships Kearsarge and Kentucky have not made much progress, having only been begun a few weeks ago by the Newport News Company. Their keels have been laid, and Chief Constructor Hiohborn expects satisfactory reports on the construction work from now on. The condition of the Wilmington, the Nashville and the Helena has become the subject of Eomo correspondence be tween Secrotary Herbert and the con tractors. Under the builders’ contract the date of completion of the vessels is fixed ns January 29 next. Lately the progress of work has not heoD up to ex pectations, and Secretary Herbert hae callt-d the contractors to account. The Secretary is anxious that the gunboats shall be in commission bofore the expira tion of his term of office on March 4. The present indications are that he will be disappointed. A number of causes hove made it impossible for the contrac tors to mako greater progress than they have. Chief Constructor Hlch horn’s report gives October 31 as the date wnen the Puritan will bo ready for service, and says that the construction work is now going on at a rapid and highly satisfac tory rote. Mr. Herbert is showing much personal interest in toe completion of the big monitor. Ho recently sent out the order that nothing is to interfere with the Navy Department’s programme of getting her ready without delay. “The Secretary means business about the Puri tan,” is a remark hoard frequently at the Department here of late. The report relative to;S[gunboats Nos. 10, 11, 32, 13, 34 and 15 is that progress on their construction is all that can he desired. Iu the case of none of the six vessels has there been any delay.

Lever Bros., Ltd., Hudson and Harrison Sts., New York. I_ I work in (be various branches is up to expectations anil contract requirements. No doubt is now felt at the Navy Depart ment that the vessels will bo ready for sorvioe by April or May next. Rapid progress is being made on torpe do boats Nos. 3, i and 5. Rased upon reports of inspectors the prediction Is made that the little vessels will soon be raedy to launch. After that only a short time will elapse beforo they are ready for service. As to the condition of torpe do boats Nos. 0 and 7, which are befog built by the Herroshoffs, nothing official is known at'the Navy Department. Un der the,builders’ oontraot No. 6 is to be delivered to the government on the 19th of this month, and No. 7 on November 19. 't orpedo boat No. B, the contractors for which are Moran Brothers, of Seattle, has reached the stage of 3a per cent, completed. She Is to be finished in Jan uary. Theilasfr vessel referred to In Chief Constructor lliohboru’s statement is the HMiami submarine torpedo boat. She is classed as 20 per cent, completed. She ought to have been finished last March, but vnrious causes have contributed to the delay. Being a decided novelty in the way of a naval craft, aud requiring peouliar machinery and other parts never before made in this country, it has been diffloult to secure prompt deliveries of material. From now on progress to ward her completion will be rapid. Chicago Platform Clarified. (Chloago Times-Herald.) We, being less than two-thirds of tne regularly chosen delegates to the Chicago convention many of us representing a suppressed souud-money sentiment suffi cient to defeat our ticket in Democratic strongholds like Kentucky), together with Populists and anarchists, having nominated a populistio deserter from Democracy, do reaffirm our allegiance :o those great essential principles wliioh the appended declarations contradict: THE MONEY QUESTION. Give us the money of the (Atlanta) Constitution. The act (crime) of 1873 demonetized Df that part ol the American people who could not read the pruoeodings of Con gress as reported iu the press during the discussion of that act. We are opposed to the English language because it is “a British policy,” and are □ot in favor of civilization because Great Britain is enlightened and progressive. I FREE SILVER. Wo demand the free coinage of gold, silver, iron and wind. No government has ever succeeded in kesping flat money at par, our own greenback dollars having fallen to less than one-third of their face value. Still we yearn for a return to Conrederate money. We are opposea to the enforcement of contracts. We also object to paying in the same kind of money we borrowed. BOND ISSUES. We are against issuing Interest-hearing bonds to secure government solvency. Owners of money should not exact in terest. We are opposed to hanks. They give Industrious people a chance to save money and muke it productive to them selves and others. TARIFF. Any old tariff is good onongh for us if we can seoure repudiation. THE INCOME ;TAX. We demand an income tax, and will guarantee that, as administered by us, it will amount to confiscation. Men who have brains enough to make capital pro ductive in great indusrial enterprises that pay wages to labor should be de prived of the means of doing so. Down with the supreme court I We know more law in a minute than they do in a year. IMMIGRATION. We hold that the most efficient way to protect American lauor Is to destroy business in this country, so that there will be no indu iemeut to foreign labor to come in and compete with it. CONGRESSIONAL APPROPRIA TIONS. We denounce taxation. The produota of the people’s toil are depressed in price till they no longer roDay the cost of pro duction. As a remedy for this, we sug gest to the farmers that they' demaud pny in dollars of less purchasing power. This will he a groat thing for silvermine owners, who can bring S3 cents’ worth of silver bullion to the mint have It coined to a dollars, and thus have the government do its best to make them a present of 47 oonts’ worth on the dollar of the products and labor of farmers and others. FEDERAL INTERFERENCE. We believe that employos should ran their employers’ business and their own wages and should burn all the property in sight if they are prevented from doing so, Incidentally killing those misguided pet sons who interfere to protect it. We iuvite all voters to indorse Altgeld aod make themselves parties ;to the out rages committed during the strike of 1894. Wo denounce the government for its interference at that time (crime of 1894.) PACIFIC FUNDING BILL. No discrimination should be Indulged (in?) by the government in favor of any of its debtors. It should cheat them all. PENSIONS. Wo want the votes of pensioners, there fore they will bo allowed to rotaln tbeir pensions but they must accept pay ment thereof in 63-cent dollars. CUBA. We feci oompelled to say something about Cuba,, but cut it short. THE CIVIL SERVICE. Tho fitness of civil servioe employes should be determined by competent illiterates. MISCELLANEOUS. MISCELLANEOUS.

CUMBERLAND ROWERS. Tlie Annual Regatta Came Off Last Evening. Race for Four-Oared Working lioats Will Have to be liowed Over. The annual regatta of the Cumberland Rowing association came off in the har bor lastlovening beginning at U.30 o’olock. The start ,was opposite the club house near the International company’s wharf and the turn was near the South Port land ferry pier. The oourse was a mile long. The first eTont was the single scull raoe the contestants being, J. MoCarthy, P. Foley and C.Fairweather. It was a good and exciting raoe. McCarthy finished about two lengths ahead of Fairweather, who came in second and several length: ahead of Foley. In the four-oared working boat raoe there were two crews. One was com posed of .J O’Day, B. McGuire, T. Crav en and T. Topmey. The other crew were J, T. McDonough, P. MoBrady, M. Kelley and P. Feeney. On the first trial tho boats fouled ball way down the course and thoy started again. On the trial O’Day’s crew won by three or four lengths But Referee Plaisted decided that the race must be rowed over again. The date has not been fixed. In the double working boats the start ers were C. Peterson and McCarthy, F. Smith and P. Foley and T. Prinn amt n. Fairweather. This was a very good race although Prlnn aud Fair weather did cot turn. Prinn was out of condition. The other two crews gave a good race. Peterson and McCarthy turned first and finished about two lengths ahead. Following the serious races came the inevitable and ludicrous tub raoos. Frank Feeney, B. McGuire and P. O’Neill were the contestants. A box of cigars was tho prize. Feneey won with McGuire second. Tony Prates as judge rowed over the course with the contestants. Brea Plaisted was starter and referee. D. E Bowen was master of oremonies and got the events OH with admirable promptness. The races were well contested and a credit to tho organization. Neur the close of the races “Skeedadlo” McDonough and Alfred Winn, who were out in a dory tried the experiment of rooking the boat. Both fell in but got out by swimming. The committee on races were Joseph A. Conley, A. A. Berates, J. H. Clary, T. Smith and P. Foioy. THE CAMPAIGN. Speakers Who Are Coming to This ^County —Messrs. Lodge, Dolliver and Heath— Abundant Literatur e. It is probable that after the Republican First District Convention in this city to morrow there will be a lull in the speak ing for several days, the campaign not having fully opened. Senator Henry Cabor Lodge, of Massachusetts, will be able to deliver one speech in Maine, either on the 24th or 26 of August. He seems quite likely to speak in Portland, g Hon. Herbert M. Heath, of Augusta, will come into Cumberland county, speaking at Yarmouth, September 9th, He will also probably speak some In York county. Hon. Jonathan P. Dolliver, of Iowa, will also como to Maine for several speeches. Hon. E. Dudley B’reeman, momber of the State oommittee for Cumberland county, has received from the national committee, and has at his office in the First National Bank Building, a large amount of valuable oampalgn literature Nearly, if not all of it bears upon the silver question. The little book entitled “Bullion vs. Coin’’ is one of thesa doc uments MoCleary’s speech is another. These dooumeuts Mr', t reoraan is send ing out as they are called for, and is dis tributing to those who are in quest of in formation. !“It is possible that Harold Sewali, son of Arthur Sewali, will make several speeches for the Republicans and will probably bo heard in this county. Contagious Diseases. Now is the season when typhoid fever begins to appear. Many people who go out of town for brief vacations contract it and are taken sick on their return. Wm, Haskell, of Long Island ;fBridget Costello, of 43 Ceuter street, and Joseph M. Conohtvm, of 23 Cotton street, havo the typhoid fever. Also Nathaniel D.

Six good ones oame out for the word in the 2.13 pace. Jack Bowen was up behind ltefiua and was quite a favorite in the pools, but broke somewhere on the back stretch in the first heat and was distanced. Paul Cifford was also distanced by making bad breaks in the first heat. The race was between Veta and Oddi ty, the latter capturing the first heat, but could do no hotter in the suooeedlug ones, although he was driven to win every time. Veta. landed the next three heats without much difficulty, although Bon Walker and Jim Corbett, and Dal ghetty, driven by John Kinney, were pushed for all they were worth in the last two heats. The finish iu the fourth heat was particularly exoiting, the horses coming down the stretch neok and nock blit Veta after all succeeded in pulling under the wire a longth to the good. g The card for today is a fine one and some excellent sport may be looked for among all the fine ones which will start.

Teaching and Employment sf the Animal; Encouraged in the German Army ltesults of Experiments Amply Justify Expectations of Fanciers— Bird fHogs Pontiles, atid Shepherd Hogs the lies Messenger— Fringing up the Pups. Washington, Aug. 2—That noble do mestic animal, the dog, may one .day bved‘,;tyy the army. The bird dog- unites tbe good qualities of the poodle and the shepherd dog, and is distinguished by a lively sense of duty and attachment. Hia intelligence is re raurkable, and ns he beoomes conscious of the speeiflo duties that his matter re quires of him his inclination for hunting gradually disappears and he becomes „the trusty and efficient war dog par excel lence. The general preparatory training of the dog for service is naturaily arduous and exacting, and one of two methods is usually practiced, in accordance with the susceptibility and general character of the individual dog. These are the severe training by forolble means of the dog kept isolated in order to bring about an unconditional subordination of will, and the mild methods in which stress is laid upon the Intercourse of the dog with his master land the affeotiou thus evolved, and in the development of thet dog’s In telligence. The latter method iB deemed preferable wheD practicable, aud is us ually employed with the bird dog and poodle. Tbo ohoice of a competent and wise trainer is, of course, of the very highest importance, if serviceable results are to be expected. The n ire training of the dogs of a battalion a placed in tbe hands of a responsibl3 ot‘ r, familiar with and experienced in matters, and under ti. ,3 i -n.f the trainers who ra selected from the corporals or privates frequent changes of trainers’ assistants are avoided as uiuah as possible for obvious reasons. The superintending officer is charged wi th the procurement of the dogs and the gen eral supervision of Iheir distribution and oaro. A careful record is kept of the dog’s pedigree, history, and progress in training, and this furnishes invaluable data for experimentation. The eduoation usually begins when the dog is about six months old, and only the simplest principles of obedience and the early awakening of affection and in telligence are at first aimed at. The first exercise consists only in leading with the lash which is intended to instill obedience and attention to the trainer. Punish ments at this and all stages are but spar ingly moted out, and on the other hand praise and petting ure net to be lavished without discrimination. The dog is taught to comprehend that when fastened to the lash he is to pay attention to his master and to nothing else. He is never at this stage allowed to leave the barracks unleashed. He soon learns to follow and obey implicitly. Next needs to be developed the watch fulness that is inborn in the dog. This training begins indoors. The trainer places himself with a dog In a room, the surroundings of which are as quiet as possible, and 1ms his assistant knook at the door. He then oalls the dog’s atten tion to their noise and incites him to growl; barking is, of course sought to be prevented. When the dog is larger and has gained in courage and self-confidence he is taken leashed out of doors by the trainer at night, when the dog’s hearing and alertness are not acute, to some iso lated point. Then the assistant quietly steals up from the windward side, and the dog is trained to quietly notify his master of the approach at the greatest possible distance. The assistant must al ways be a stranger to the dog, and oaro is taken that the dog does not attack him for a fierce, biting dog is UBoless in mili tary serviefe. It is not to be expected that even these simple accomplishments are to be arrived at without groat expen diture of patience and perseverance, but ns the training proceeds and the dog’s sagacity is awakenod the eduoation be comes more rapid und more fruitful of serviceable result. When the dog’s watchfulness is well developed he is some day led away from his trainer by an assistant and then sent back, again returns and is again sent back, the exercise being repeated fre quently, until the dog learns what is re quired of him, and soon is aide to return long distances over the shortest route. He is then taught retrieving, running back and retrieving lost articles, anil re trieving an article carried out by an as sistant. The articles are all familiar to the dog, and their number is increased only very gradually. A small vocabu lary of commands, agreed upon between trainer and assistant, can bo made intel ligible to most dogs, so time in time they will do at bidding the required oommis siou, often over long stretches of ground, the trainers being invisible fiuin tbs direct route of transit. The exercises just described are but preliminary to teaching the dog the use of the report peuoh, which is one of his most important duties in ins military career. The pouch is shown to the dog, a pieoe of paper is put in the pouch, and the dog’s attention called to it, ami he is then sent to the assistant, who takes the paper ftotn tbo pouoli, and, by petting the dog, shows him that he has performed that whiob was required of niui. The distances are gradually "increased, and tlie work is continued in'such a way that the dog passes from master to assistant by the reverse of a road known to ,hlm. Little iniluonce can be exercised on the speed of a dog, and great cure is taken to preserve his pleasure in the work, and tilMtjbe be not overworked or bored. It now romains to practice traversing great distance by the shortest route, ami the work is done over ground where the view is obstsudt^d. The assistant, lead ing the dog by the leash, walks away from the conduotor, moving in various directions, and sends the dog back £to bis master with the proper word of com mand. After some attempts to follow the soent, the dog will select the shortest route of his own accord, but there are no moans of making him understand how to take cross cuts. The canine Mercury is also habituated to overcoming obstacles of terrain and art, avoiding water oourses of some width, which necessitates particular training in swimming, not very difficult for most dogs. When Tray has gained much seif-confidencc, and is thorough in his previous work, the exercises are held in frequented places, in villages, and in the dark. He easily becomes accus tomed to ring, since, as soon as ho is per mitted to leave the burraoks, he is taken along to the target ranges, and his first sorvloe may oonsist in maintaining com munication between the firing stand and the markers. The final test of Ills training consists in the dog performing his work in the same reliablo manner when led by some one not his instructor. The use of an assis tant latterly has made it clear to the dog that he is not to obey his master alone, i* nuo knu*juiio uaiucr in lujiinuou uy some one else, the latter learns the char acter of the dog and the method by which he has been trained, that he may follow up the training in the game way. If, under suoh circumstances, the work of the dog remains reliable he is considered trained for employment in the sorvice.— N. y. Times. HAY FIRE WORKS. One Was Fall of Earning Grass at Calais. Calais, AugUBt 4.—A very calm eve ning prevented what threatened to be a disastrous fire in Calais, Monday. About 9 o’olook Monday evening the stable be longing to Mr. George Cullerton on Bjel more street was found to be on fire and In a short time two adjaoent barns, a shed and the residence of Mr. Cullerton were all in flames. The stable contained hay and large bunohea of this hay, r11 a flame, rose high In the air, but happily there was no wind to carry the burning brands to any distance. The lire was cheoked before Mr. Cullerton’s residenoe was completely destroyed, but what fire didn’t consume water greatily damaged. The loss was over ¥2000 and was partly covered by insurance.

Aug, 4. 1896 Transactions the past week in the wholesale market have been of small proportions, and the outlook for an early revival m business is rather poor, a hand-to-mouth policy being adopted all along the line. Collections are ex ceedingly slow. Flour has held up remarkably weil, ana full prices realized when sales are made, The winter wheat crop which promised to be unusually large early in the season, is small; there will also be a rather small spring wheat crop. Corn and oats are firm and high er. Pork and Lard are much firmer owing to the excited Western markets, which have ad vanced rapidly within a,week, but it is a ques tion whether it can be maintained, as it looks to some like a specu ative boom. Eastern packers are firm in the;r views, although they are sell ing at previous figures ;many jobbers here have instructed their agents to put up prices 50c. Mackerel firm and higher to buy; the market is about bare; within a day or two New York parties have been buying up all the stock they could find. Sugar active and firmer at the recent rise. Rio Coffee weak and in buyers avor; mild grades quiet and unchanged. Lin *seed OH touched the lowest point to-day ever sold for. Potatoes weak and tending down ward. Eggs firmer. Ccrdage lower. Lumber easy and quiet. The Coal trade is fairly good at unchanged figures; prices f. o. b. in New York: stove, $3 85; egg, $3 60; free broken, $3 35; chestnut, $3 60. Fresh fish jobbing at 2c lb for Cod, Haddock very scarce at 2 va, Hake at lYa&2c. Cusk 2VaC: Halibut 9(^12: Mackerel l»c ;iswordfish 9c; salmon 18c.

The Affair Took Place in Porto Rico—The Murderer of His Victim Skipped in Bos ton-Several of the Crew in Irons. Mr. Horace Surgut of the firm of Sar gent, Lord Skillings, yesterday re ceived a letter from Oapt. Thomas A.

Cleaves of this port, of which vessel Capt. Wal lace is master. It seems that at Baltimore prior to the outward voyage, the vesse shipped a mate, oook and several seameu. There appears to have been trouble brewing on the ves so shortly after he left Baltimore. Af ter the brig reached San Juan and was discharging about two weeks ago there was a grand row on the vessel between the mats aud the cook. The mate bit the cook over the head with a belaying pin knocking him down into the hold. The cook’s leg and arm received com pound fractures, while he was also injured internally. He was removed to the hospital where he died in a few days. By order of the American consul the mate and several of the crew who had participated in the row, were placed in irons and the captain is oowjhard up for a orew to take the places of the men in custody. The Cleaves intended to load molasses for the return voyage. I nt tsc.vv Liun i nyuoc In Process of Construction at Spring Point Ledge.
