Mr.. L. B. DeEnett stated to reporter for the
PRESS yesterday afternoon that the rack was
invented by his father in 1868, and was pa
tented June 26, 1866. 1t was cut-into hay
rack, not cat-under. and has been mscalled
whenever mentioned AT first Mr. l.. d. Dem
nett attempted to put it on the market but he
was not very successful. Finally he sold the
patent TO Mr.. Dexter M. Ward of Portland.
Mr.. Ward did not seem to succeed any better
with it than himself. Such farmers, however,
as saw the rack admitted its usefulness, and
many made them for their own use. Finally,
one day, Mr.. Ward came to him and said, "see
here Mr.. bennett, you can do great deal bet
ter with that patent than 1 can. am in
tight place and need some money, and you
take the patent in place of my debt" Mr..
bennett thereupon took back the patent. One
day he met Gen. c. P Mattocks, ,and it appear
ed that Gen. Mattocks had a farmer in his en-
ploy who knew about these hay racks and
made one for the General. General Mattocks
was so pleased with it that, on this occasion,
when he met Mr. bennett he told him it was
valuable thing and he was astonished he didinot
make the people who used it pay him royal
ty for its use. Mr.. bennett then formed
partnership with another man-whose name
he did not care to give-not company in the
usual sense of the term-and employed attor-
neys in the different counties to issue licenses
to those who wished the racks. The uniform
royalty ch arged is So, of which $150 is agents
fee. II farmer takes more than one rack he
gets the two for less price than one; also his
agents if they find poor farmer who wants
rack can take off more from the royalty sub
ject TO his ID ennett's) ratification. He has
been assured by many farmers that he puts the
royalty too low; that it should be $5, but he
thinks So enough for the average New Eng
land farmer. Some have said the patent has
run out; that Mr.. bennett has no right to
charge a royalty. He answers the patent runs
under the new act of Congress for seventeen
years from 1866, and therefore is still in force
Judge Knight, who was present, expressed
himself very strongly in favor of Mr.. Dennett's
position in the matter.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
Lewiston Woman Mangled by an Ex-
plosion.

The Lewiston Journal says that early Mon
day morning the wife of Maynard W. Goff,
fishmonger, put stick of wood into her
kitchen stove, and then seated herself by the
fire. She says she heard sizzling noise, as if
pitch had ran out of the wood. She looked in
the stove and poked the fire. She had barely
replaced the stove cover, when there came a
deafening sound with binding cloud OF
smoke and soot At the instant OF this shock,
she was hit in the face and body and experien-
ced at first a benumbed sensation, followed by
pain from which she almost tainted. Her first
impulse was to save her two. small children.
The room had already commenced to blaze.
Although feeble woman, and nearly frantic
with pain, Mrs. Goff took her two children,
who were i'll with the measles, in room next
the blazing, smoking kitchen, and placed them
on a bed in front room, before she called for
help. Her cries brought neighbors who put
out the fire and took her away. She was
severely injured, and her injuries may prove
fatal.
George Pierce has been arrested on suspicion
of loading the stick of wood with powder.
He will make no talk about the affair.
The explosion resembled the crack of
bursting boiler. The buildings about shook as
if there had been an earthquake.

through. Mr.. Dmmock jumped upon the
horse to hold him still and screamed for help.
Mrs. Cousins, hearing his cries, quickly ran to
the place supposing some one was killed. Upon
arriving and taking in the situation she ran to
the neighborhood and procured three other
women (not man in the neighborhood being at

saw cut hole through the floor and inserted

A NEW CONVENTION.

PHILADELPHIA, Mby 27.-Cameron held
conference to-day with a number of bus
mess men, with reference to supporting
the ticket. 1t has been decided upon that
the regular republican committee be re-
covened within the next fifteen days, and
to be composed of the same delegetes who
formed the first convention. and the va
cancy occasioned by declination of Mar
shall will then be filled
BUNCOMBE.
The senator stated to his visitors that
his purpose of inviting them in conference
was to lay before them the real situation
of affairs and the dangers which threat
ened the life of the party. The success of
the ticket, he said, rested with the great
agricultural, mining and commercial in
terests of the state. He had fought for a
protective tariff in the senate, as his father
had done in other days, but if those who
had heretofore supported the republican
ticket wanted to stab him he was ready to
receive the blow and would oppose the
tariff in the senate as heartily as he had
upheld it. If you want to kill the party
we will go to destruction together.
CAMERONs RAGE.
CHICAGO, May 27.-A Philadelphia
special says that Cameron has been in the
city all day and has received a constant
stream of visitors. He was in very i'll hui
NOR all day, which was attributed by his
visitors to the combined effects of the in
dependent convention and an liberated
tooth. One visitor said: Il never saw
him in such bad temper In his
choicest terms he condemned the whole
independent faction.
DAMN THEM ALL"
he exclaimed, with furious stamp of his
foot, 'tWe1l give them all the fight they
want, even if we have to go down with
flying colors as the '3O6 went down at Chi
cago. They must be crushed.
