Tho National Democratic Com
mittcc las issued tho following
statement relative to tho Maine
election:

The latest reliable and official
returns from lbs towns gives l'lais.
ted 70,019, Davis I0,G9S; Republic
can majority GO. In the SAME
towns in 1876 the opposition vote
was 5T7,.i99, Republican z, ,7G5; Re-
publican majority 1896. Tho Re-
publican loss in 1850, from the cor
responding election in 1876, is
1.l,5G7. There arc IS towns and
plantations yet to be heard from.
The relative gain in these towns,
as compared with 1876, would give
us, ut u low estimate, over 1000
Democratic majority.
The Republican manipulators
in Maine arc pretending to claim q
majority for Davis, and arc lin.
douhtcdly trying to doctor the re-
turns to. bear out this claim. 1t
remains to be seen whether they
propose to begin in ATainc to inaug-
Ilrate tic frauds of1S76. For two
tlays Blaine and the Republican
leaders conceded Plaistcd's elcc-
tiou. as tho Republican party did
I'ilden's in 1876. The entire ma
chincry for counting tho vote is in
the hands OF the Republican re-
turning board. Usually in past
years it has only required about
Two DAYS 10 ascertain the definite
results in Maine. This year NIL the
first returns showed great Dctno-
cratic gains, and it was only when
The Republican manipulatora have
stopped tho returns coming i'll and

altered that the changes were made
in favor OF Davis. as m instance,

Brick POmcruy is publishingN

til Weaver went to Alabama hc was
Il strong hacker of GrcCnbackism.

in defense orhis changed opinions
says: "I'herc is 10 question hut
Weaver has sold out to tho Repub-

him; that there is nothing 10 hope

But the law OF compensation
holds good here. There is Il man
on the Ohio side whose stable is
within 100 feet OF the State line,
and for the last six years he hasn't
dared TO ride his pony over into
Indiana except by stealth. That
man owes Il debt, and his creditor,
an Indianian, has an attachment
for that pony which he cannot put
into practice unless the debtor vol
unfairly brings the said pony over
from Ohio into Indiana, and afore-
said creditor finds it ont and eau
lay hands on the animal. For six
Years this Ohio man has been
Watching in vain. Only once did
he ride his pony over into Indiana,
aud then to Il funeral, hut hc rot
hack over the line before the
clutches Of the law could DO ap-
piled to his fayorite. As q rule
the officers NJ the two corporations
work in harmony. Frequently
cases occur ludicrous enough.
The people not seriously interested

Union City, although called in
Indiana, is in two States. As the
greater part Of the corporation lies
in tho State Of Indiana, Randolph
county, and the postoiIicc is there,
Indiana gets the credit Oft all.
It has two mayors, one OIL each
side Of the meridian which forms
the boundary between tho two
States. When they are both good
the city has nh abundance ofgootl
things. When they arc bad they
can stand on opposite sides Of the
line, make mouths at each other
across it, and dare each other to
come over. As a rule the limo is
strong enough to keep them apart.
Two years or more ago, Frank
Swallow, Of Indiana, dared Joe

either the team or the man who Dor
rowed it.
We think it little too had to let the
debris of the tornado of a few weeks
ago lay in our pleasant village as has
been done. 1t would be work of char
ity for some one to clear it away.
Onions never looked better at this
time of the year.-Roast corn is on hand
nOw.-Nearly all the farmers in the
back part of the town have finished
haying-all report an abundant crop,
far above the average.
The Hollow school closed last Friday
with the usual exercises, and an enjoy
able picnic under the large elm opposite
Mr.. Winters. This has long been call

the instruction of Miss Nellie Strow-
bridge, it has lost nothing in reputa-
ton.

was not badly injured.
Henry B. Smith, workman at the
scale shops, has recently bought a
building lot of Edwin Harris, situated
near the residence of John Chandler 1t
is understood that Mr.. Smith will build
here at no distant day.
We learn by Mr.. Edwin Harris that
in visiting some parts of Lyndon this
week, he saw the fearful ravages of
grasshoppers, made upon the various
crops, This pest is worse. than the DO
tato bug, and where it has become set
tied, has probably done the greatest
mischief to crops and pastures, of any
in the country.
The fall schools in Summerville will
commence under the old board of teach
ers, on Monday, August %. The COM
mittee would suggest to parents to see
that their children are properly sup
piled with books. Carelessness in this
respect caused the teachers some trou-
BILE the last term.
Mr.. Leonard Morris is probably one

fields, they should remember and put
up the bars again. Carelessness in this
respect will make farmers Justly indig-
nant.

Liquor Raid.

Liquor Raid.
The police made descent upon the
premises of George w. Hurlbutt, who
lives next house south of the bakery,
and found i'll grain chest under the
barn stairs, a five-gallon tin can en-
closed in a wooden box with hinges,
and straps to carry it by, containing
about three gallons of alcohol also a
two-gallon jug partly filled; one
gallon jug ditto; a willOw-Govered
demjohn filed with the same; bottle
of bitters, quart cup, tunnel, tumbler
and spoon. The liquor was seized, and
a hearing had on Monday, at which
large number of witnesses-about So
were summoned. Three or four of the
most important witnesses could not be
found, and those who testified evidently
perjured themselves, as many of them
swore that they did not know Hurlbu tt,
although he has lived here for years.
James Bishop testified that the box en-
closing the can was one he formerly had
and used for the same purpose it was
now used for. He said he procured it
of Sias Randall. Both Bishops and
Cyrus Hadley's names were on the box,
also express labels. The hearing was
not completed Monday, but was ad-
journed until to-day. The hearing was
before justice Walter P. Smith. Belden
& Ide for prosecution, Harry Blodgett
for the respondent.

127 tickets were sold at this station,
for the great consolidated" at st.

A son of Murray Dole, some Is or II
years old, jumped from the train last
Saturday night when returning from
the circus, and was severely injured.
The road passes near his fathers house,
about mile and a-half from the sta
ton, and he thought he might as well
get off there as to walk back but he
did not make success of it. He was
thrown forward upon his head and re-
ceived some severe bruises, and lay in
sensible for some time. He is coming
out all right, and probably will never
try it over again.

fish was over two feet long, and weigh,

fish has been running out in this sec.

are now taken in JOe's pond, we learr
that they are this season quite plenty

The Stewart Fire Accounted For.

me stewart FIRE Accounted For.
There is little to add to the very
full account given in last weeks Gale
DOMAIN of the burning of Alexander
Stewards buildings, except that the ORR
gin of the fire can now be accounted
for. Just before the fire broke out,
George Spaulding, a Waterman at the
scale shops, saw four tramps pass up
the railroad track at the highway cross
ing below Fairbanks village. Taking
into account the hour, their proximity
to the fire, the direction they were
travelling, and the utter failure to ac-
count for the fire on any other ground
than that it was set, it seems very
probable that these tramps remained in
MIR. Stewards barn that night, and set
the hre,-perhaps accidentally while
lighting their pipes before they left in
the morning. So much for tramps. Mr..
Stewart estimates his total loss at SIO,-
600, on which there is insurance of
Sc, 100. As stated last week, the house.
hold was awakened by the barking of
the dog, who slept in the shed. When
Mr.. Stewart got up and looked out the
window, the barn was completely on
fire in every part. The flames made
such progress and communicated SO
quickly with the house, and help at
that time of the night being so long in
coming, that most of the wearing ap-
parel, books, bedding, and many house
hold goods were burned.

Last Monday afternoon young man
that resides at Connecticut Lake went
out fishing. He anchored his boat in
what is called the Narrows, about one
mile above the Lake House. At dark
it was noticed that the boat had not
moved from where it had stopped, and
it was remarked that the young man
was in luck fishing. Tuesday morn
ing they were very much sur
prised to see that the boat was in the
same place, and started to see what was
the matter. On arriving at the landing
they found the young man in about
two feet of water dead. AS he was
subject to fits it is supposed that he had
one while on the water, fell out of his
boat and drifted up to the landing. He
had no friends in this vicinity.
The American House at Lancaster
was burned last Monday afternoon. 1t
did not burn entirely up, but enough so
as to leave it total wreck. 1t was in
sured for $4,000 in three companies.
At the time of Eli Lanes disappear
ance, Spiritualists were consulted in
regard to him. They claimed that they
could see him, that he was alive and
well, and would be back inside of three
weeks. The three weeks have passed,
and not a sign of Mr.. Lane and friends
all the more respondent. So much for
consulting Spiritualists.
A very severe hail storm passed over
this section last Thursday, doing
great deal of damage to the crops.
