THE MAINE MUSS.

Statement of the Grounds Upon Which
it is Proposed to Disfrnnchise Certain
Election Districts.
AUGUSTA, Me-, Dec. 1.-THE Maine Standard,
Democratic organ, states the government an
nounces to-day, semi-oticially, that the returns
from Portland, Lewiston, Saco, Augusta, Hal
lowell, Bath and Rockland, for representatives,
all have the same technical defect, and that
the Governor and council will reject them all,
These cities elected fifteen Republican repre-
sentatives. The most common defect alleged
is that the returns were signed by three
aldermen instead of four In Portland
the defect was in using the word, Scattering"
Belfast is also understood to be among dis
franchised cities, ON the ground; that DR..
Brooks, representative elect, is an examining
surgeon of pensioners, and is thus Ineligible.
The law prohibits the governor and council
taking into account the question of Ineligible
ity of Senators and Representatives, elect. but
1t Is understood the governor and council ad-
judge this law also to be uncon-
stitutional. and not to be
obeyed. Benton, Kennebec county, is includ-
ed among those where it is alleged the returns
were clandestinely changed. Chas. B. Rounds,
who made the charge of illegal amendment of
the returns, was before the governor and coun-
Gil to-day in reference to returns for county
officers of Washington county, Rounds being 4
candidate for reelection as county attorney.
A somewhat angry colloquy ensued between
the governor and Rounds in regard to
the charges. Rounds stated he had come there
to inspect the returns for county officers by
specific appointments, and that he would be
ready in regard to the charges preferred by him
whenever the Governor and council would or
der the investigation for which he had asked.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
PANAMA, Nov. 29-The Chilians did not, as
was expected, follow up the allies and give
them battle at Peria Grande, on the Poso Del
Almonte. Instead, they appear to have gone
into camp at Agera Santa, about forty miles
north of tho Peruvian position, and are en-
trenching. The position is a strong one, and
has communication by rail with Pisagua, their
base of operations. The allies seem confused
and COMPOUNDED by the bold move of the
Chilians Rumors are aAcat concerning the
manner in which wounded allies wero treated
by the Chilians and respecting the cruel out
RACES on women found in the place.
SEVERE STORM.
A severe storm at Aspinwal damaged the
Pacific Mail steamship company's wharf $780,
900 and that of the Panama railroad company
$4,000. Nine sthousand, three hundred and
Twenty-Five tons of coal were lost by vessels
sinking. Some idea of the violence of the sea
may be gathered from the fact that the A. G..
Bonner lost her rudder by striking the bottom
in six fathoms of water. The sea captain of
the Bonner says it was heavier than any he has
seen on the banks of New Foundland. It is
expected it will be thirty days before traffic can
be fully resumed on the railroad. The tele-
graph lines are still interrupted. Water on the
road was fully two feet higher than ever before
known. 5Buena Vista, Gatean and Natachon,
villages on the road, are destroyed.

MAJOR WHITTLE'S SERMON.
A Sincere Belief IL Not Always a Right
Belief. s'

Belief. ~ ~
After the usual opening exercises, last night
Major Whittle spoke from II Dor. 40, IF our
gospel be hid it is hid to them that be lost.'
If men do not believe and accept Jesus
Christ it. is because they are lost-"They that
believe have everlasting life" The gospel is
to You and me- and it is the same gospel. Who
soever believes will be saved, and whatsoever
believes not will bS est st.. Paul says, Eye
that are saved" not ye that arc going to be
saved. Paul received the gospel by direct
revelation. He did not learn it from the other
disciples. Is your hope, my friend, in this
gospel that Christ died for you, and if you be-
lieve you are going to be saved, and unless you
believe you are lost?
y My dear friends, you know whether you
have believed or not. You know whether you
have seen your need of Savior.
If you have seen this need
and have accepted Christ you are
saved, and if not you are lost. He has given
you the benefit of His word, His life and HIS
blood. Will you receive Him or will you re-
ject Him? You think that God is going to be
merciful; that He is going to save you, and
You are going to do just as you think best in
this matter. Well, friend, here is where you
are wrong. God is merciful to-day, that can
assure you, but the time will come when Gods
mercy will turn to Judgment, and where then
will you be? X

CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-Cables were higher on

There is always silvery lining to every cloud,

stopped till the curb recorded $1.324 bid for
January wheat. Corn was governed entirely
by the change in wheat, on the curb 48c for

PRISON TRAGEDY.
A CONVICT SHOT DEAD.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
|. SALTWATER, Dec. 1.-About half-past 5
o clock this evening your reporter received the
startling information that a convict had been
shot dead in his tracks for characterization. On
receipt of said information an interview wa.
sought with the deputy warden, Abe Hall, in
order to get the facts in the case. Mr.. Hall
was found in the warden's Office, and willingly
informed us of the cause of the act and the
facts incidental to the shooting. ..s
THE NAME OF THE DEAD CONVICT
was John CLARK, sentenced from Hennepin
county, May, 1876 for two years and five
months for larceny. Since his incarceration
he has shown an unruly disposition, which
manifested itself last Friday in bis attack on
Ramsden with putty knife, an account of
which appeared in the GLOBE. He and two
others hada conspiracy to get along with doing
as little work as possible without mourning
punishment. After cutting Ramsden he was
PLACED IN THE DARK CELL
and remained there until Sunday when he was
taken out. On releasing him from the dark
cell, the deputy warden .old him that his evil
temper, unless he mended his ways would vet
get him to attack some one who would not let
morning he was sent back to the paint shop to
work, and no trouble was experienced with
him until fifteen minutes past o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when the guard, Ben Oayon,
ordered him and an:,ther convict to their cells.
1t was then within few minutes of quitting
time. Clark refused and -
ARMED WITH THE SAME PUTTY KNIFE
with which he had cut Ramsden, he assumed
menacing attitude. The guard then sent for
Deputy. Warden Hall. On arriving he
took in the situation at glance,
and taking out his watch told
Clark that he would give him three minutes to
NAMED immovable. and at the expiration of
five minutes Hall put up his watch saying,
"Clark, 1 ask you once more to put down that
knife, put on your coat and 60 to the cell room.
You are only .---- -. -. H. 80.
TAKING YOUR LIFE IN YOUR OWN HANDS,"
Clark replied that he would not put down the
knife and put on his coat for any g. of b.
living. Mr.. Hall then shifted his position 80
as not to endanger other lives, cooked his re-
volver, Smith d Weston, size 80, and, point
ing it at Clark, repeated his request, and he
again said no. 1t was the last time he ever
spoke, for the next moment a
BULLET WENT CRASHING THROUGH HIS HEART.
After being struck by the bullet he ran towards
the stripers, then turned towards Hall and fell
on his face dead. Mr.. Hall ordered the body
taken to the cell room and sent for Coroner
Pratt. During the whole affair not q convict
left his place. The whole affair, although a
sad one, was case in which discipline had to
be maintained at any cost, and although, as
MIR. Hall says. force enough could have been
obtained to take CLARK, some one would have
been badly cut. The coroner's inquest will be
held at 10 o'clock to-day. -. ...27..-. Ii .-
