CONGRESSMAN FULKERsoN, of Virginia,
straight out Republican and candidate
for reelection, is thorn in Mahone's
side, and in order to get him out of the
way, the New York Times says: "Ma-
hone has the promise from the admins
tratiOn of the mission to Peru. This
he will offer to Mr.. Fulkerson, and if
he accepts it, the coast will be clear
and matters harmOnized in the Ninth
district. The post is quite lucrative"
1t would be difficult to OutdO the base
ness and corruption of the bargain here
attributed to Arthur and Malone by the
leading Republican journal of the
Union. 1t is bribery plain and undis-
guised. MahOne's control of Virginia
patronage is so clearly understood at
Washington that he has had blank ap-

Martha's Grove Campmeet'ng.


A good many went away this morning but
others have come to stop over the Sabbath so
there has been good attendance at the vari-
GUS services though not equal to that of the
preceding days The prayer meeting at Cor
nish Chapel at $50 was full of Methodist fire.
Rev. Daniel Waterhouse of Conway Corner
preached at 10 o'clock from John Wits
"But, 10, he speaketh boldly, and they say
nothing unto HIN. So the rulers know indeed
that this is the very Christ" Jesus was a re-
markable preacher; because he came from
heaven. "From heaven he came, of heaven
he spake;" 2-He taught authoritatively; 3
He taught what moral corruption and mora
purity was, not he who observes the tithes of
mint, anise and cummin and for pretense
makes long prayers but he whose heart is pure
is declared by the Christ to be an heir of the
kingdom of heaven; He Taught man to love
God supremely and his neighbor as himself;
5-The doctrine of regeneration; 6-ln sim
pliclty; With power.
AT the co-a of the sermon conservation
service was held at the altar.
Tie children's meeting was IN charge OF
Mrs. Waterhouss. These meetings are now
considered regular part of the campmeeting
services. "Sutfer little children to come unto
me and forbid them not for of such is the
kingdom of heaven"
: An accident caused Mr. Lindsay to miss the
morning train, and a telegram was received
from him announcing the fact. The bell was
rung at the usual hour and the time passed in
singing and repeating scripture Until the ar
rival of the afternoon train
The sermon well repaid the patient waiting.
Text: "Rev. i:5-6-"Unto him that loved us,
and washed us from our sins in his OWE blood,
and hath made us kings and priests unto God
and His Father; to him be glory and dominion
forever and ever. Amen" The matchless
love of Christ SO far exceeding that of all
earthly friends leading him to endure life OF
poverty and self denial and to suffer painful
humiliating death for our s,kes was presented
in glowing language and the acceptance OF MS
love and sacrifice was urged with great faith
fu!neSs.
A social meeting was held IN Chestnut
Street tent at Z o'clock.
Rev. DR.. Tefft came with Mr.. Lindsay and
will preach tomorrow.

FAIRFIELD.
Representative Caucus-A Misstatement
Corrected-The Independent Re-
publican Movement-The
Drought,

FAIRFIELD, Sept 2, 1882.
The Republican caucus which has just ad-
journed. has been one of the largest and most en-
thusiastic ever held in town, ,and the result gives
almost complete satisfaction. On the first ballot
Stephen A. Nye, Esq, received all the ballots
but one and his acceptance called forth heary
applause.
The spirit OF the caucus was good, and
showed that the Republicans are awake, and
determined to do all in their power to help
redeem Somerset county from fusion rule.
The forty-six names which were reported in
the Argus as having been sent into the inde-
pendent Republican headquarters no one can
find in town, although dilig ent search has been
given. The fusion candidate for senator in
his desire to see trouble in the Republican
ranks allowed his zeal to run away with his
Judgment and drew on his Imagination for
the list. Doubtless there are four hundred and
forty-six who, with Ex-Governor Dingley, de-
clare the principles gee and worthy of accept
ance but they propose to work for their accept
ance in the ranks of the only party that has
ever made pretence Of civil service reform or
of temperance.
The first copy of the Independent Republi-
can" is at hand, and although heavily loaded
the charge is of that nature that always kills
at the breech. Protesting civil service reform
and honesty in public affairs they have filled
their first issue with the dirtiest personalities
and most barefaced statements. If there are
any Republicans who have objected to the per-
sonal abuse of past campaigns and were ready
for a change they will hesitate long time be-
fore uniting with this mud throwing machine.
The extremely hot and dry weather of the
past few weeks IS drying up the wells and
Springs and seriously affecting the fall feed.
Most of the crops are beyond the reach of the
drought although many predict that potatoes
will be found to have rotted.

Several Buildings Destroye0-Loss $12,-
900; Insurance So, 900.

GARDINER, Sept. 2.-For the second time in
structive fire. The flames were first discovered
in the cooper shop of Mr.. Whitney at the low
er END of Water street at 9.45 a. M. There has
been no rain for six weeks, and a strong breeze
was blowing when the fire started The ex-
citement for some time was intense. Assist
ance was Immediately telegraphed for to Au
gusta and Hallowell. 1t was considered that
the Maine Central Railroad bridge which
caught at the outset, would burn. Assistance
promptness of the local fire department, how
ever. checked an extensive spread and in less
than an hour bad the fire under control.
The stesmer from Augusta arrived in time
to assist; further help was not required. The
fire started in the business part of the city,
with the wind directly toward Main street,
threatening to sweep the city. 1t was by the
utmost good fortune that it was checked. The
losses and insurance are as follows:
Dingley Bros, storehouse and contents 49,.
600; no insurance.
A. Whitney, cooper shop, loss 81, CO; no in
surance. Insured in the Etna, $500 on con.

AUGUSTA, Me-, Sept. Capt. VIM. A. Al
exandef Of Richmond, a patient in the insane
hospital, was strangled to death this morning
E. Sinai. of Portland. Smart has been very
peaceab patient heretofore, and regarded as
SO harmless that he has been permitted to visit
the families of the officers, mingle freely with
the patients and assist the regular attendants
of Mr. Asexander, who was heavy and help
less mad, to lift, wash and feed the latter
Sunday morning, Smart and an attendant in
charge Of Alexander, took breakfast together
in the dining room, after which the attendant
prepared breakfast for Alexander, and Smart,
as was his practice, carried it down to Mr.. Al
exander n room on the floor below, while
the attsadant remained in the dining room to
remove The things from the table, Presently
he head a groan from Mr.. AS room, and on
proceeding directly there found that Smart
had twisted up towel, put it around Mr.. A. $
neck, and, with piece of gas pipe inserted IN
the blight, had strangled Mr.. A. SO that all ef-
fort which were at once made to revive him,
proved i vain. Both mon we're upon the bed

Twoof the trustees of the hospital, Mr.. Man
ley and Mrs. Quinby, were Immediately called,
in. Coroner VIM, HI. Libbey of this city
was summoned, and after a careful inves-
tigatioh, pronounced an inquest unnecessary
1t happened that the wife of Mr.. Alexander
was in the hospital at the time the sad affair
took place She has been in the habit of visit
ing her husband in the hospital every two
weeks. Saturday morning she came upon her
regular visit, to remain until Monday, and
thus was in the hospital when the deed of vio-
lence was committed. She knew OF Smart's
assisting in taking care of her husband, and,
like the officers and attendants, considered
him one OF the most unlikely persons to do
such deed, as he was uniformly kind, atten-
tive and capable, in aiding the attendant and
at all times and everywhere. No change in his
demeanor had been noticed previous to the
commission of the act. Mrs Alexander exon

blame in the matter

BIDDEFORD.
City Square Filled with an Enthu-
siastic Crowd.
Especial to the Press ]


BIDDEFoRD, Sept 3.-One of the largest,
most successful and enthusiastic rallies ever
held here occurred Saturday evening. Owing
to the previous engagement of City Hall the
speaking took place in City Squrae. A platform
had been erected and during the early part of
the evening citizens of Biddeford and Saco. be-
gan to gather en- masse so that at O'Clock the
time of commencement of the speaking fully
$500 people had gathered round the speakers
sland
The meeting was called to order by Hon. e.
III. Banks of this city, who without remarks
introduced as the first speaker of the evening
represent our State in the National House OF
Representatives-Hon Charles A. Boutelle OF
Bangor, the brilliant and fearless editor of the
Bangor Whig.
Mr.. Boutelle held the entire attention of the
large audience for an hour and thirty minutes,
con6ning himself wholly to the discussion OF
State issues, administering just rebuke to
Gov. Plaisted for his arrogant course OF action
toward his Council and the Supreme Court OF
Maine, and showed up the fallacy of Gov.
Plaisteds position by the logical and clear
statement of the facts at issue.
During the early part of Mr.. Boutelle's
remarks crowd OF Plaisted sympathizers en-
deavored to bulldoze and break up the meeting
by rowdyism and boisterous demonstrations,
but they soon found to their sorrow that they
had made decided mistake as to their man
for Capt. Boutelle had not travelled two hun
dred miles to allow mob to run his meeting
for him, and he so completely turned the
tables upon them as to command respectful
silence during the remainder of his speech
Capt. Boutelle was repeatedly interrupted
by rounds of cheers and hearty applause. At
the close of his remarks the Hon. Seth L. Mil
liken was loudly called for by the crowd but
owing to the latsness of the hour he made no
extended remarks though repeatedly urged to
do so by the large audience.
Music was furnished by the Irish Band and
a fine display of fireworks was had both before
and at the close of the meeting.
The opening of the camp aign in Biddeford
indicates an overwhelming Republican major
ity on the eleventh.
