Anniversary Celebration of Lincoln
Lodge, Bath.
Special to PressD
BATH, May 19.-To- day nothing is seen or
heard on the streets that does not in some way
refer to the 1. O. o. r. celebration. This is
the birthday of Lincoln Lodge and its men,
bsrs are striving to make it an suspicious occa-
sion. About noon the order formed 10 the
Chapter Hall and marched to the depot, where
they again formed line, with the following
officers in command: Chief Captain, j. e.
Hanscom; Subordinate Captain, James E.
Lockley; Junior Captain, W. 81. Lemont;
Standard Bearer, Fl. W. Small; Guide, V. P.
Emery.
AT 1920 o'clock Kennebec Valley Lodge of
Richmond arrived and was escorted to the hall
after short parade. This lodge was repre-
sented as follows: Chief Captain, Chas. F.
Reed; Lieutenant, G.. NJ Foster; XIV Small,
FL. F. Smith, j. G. Bailey, NJ E. Spaulding,
j. Bostwick, M G. Bnker, o. e. Ames, J. W.

bird, c. FL. Seigers, q. S. Spanlding O. H.
Buker, T. A. Stetson, Fl. G. Reed aud f. D.
Reed.
The Portland Lodge was represented by FL.
Ell. Verrill, John Evans, Q. H. Ball, and R. A.
Kent, while Past Grand G. H. Rich and Past
Grand Representative VIM. E. Hogan oecu-
pied a carriage of honor.
After dinner at the Sagadahock, the
lodges once more fell in, and, accompanied by
the Cadet Band with twenty pieces, marched
over the following route: Front street to Oak,
Oak to Washington, Washington to Arthur
Sewall's residence, and countermarch to North,
to Middle, to Winter, to Washington, to
South, to High, to Centre to 'front.' to hall.
Higgens photographed the Odd Fellows on
High street as they were passing the residence
of Albert Fields. The parade was very hand
some. The new uniforms of Lincoln Lodge
were worn for the first time. The regalia of
the order is too well known to need descrip-
tion; suffice it to say it looked very fine in the
parade to-day. Mud and heat made the march
rather uncomfortable for the Patriarchs, we
judge, but they should be satisfied to endure a
little discomfort for SO fine display
This evening grand ball was given at the

armed in the court room, became as white as a
sheet, and before Turner could lever the pistol
at him. sprang behind big fellow named
John. Monague. STOPPING down SO as to be
completely hidden, he cried out, "Don't let
him kill me; am unarmed." A policeman
and several deputy Hberiffs seized and dsarmed
Turner, while Kennedy was searched and
found to be unarmed. He left the court room
while Turner was still raving. and will be tried

Two Organ Grinders Cnt and Slash at
Passers-by in Boston.
Boston, May 19.-Two italian organ grind
ers, named Gateono Dirocco and Pasquale Di-
rocco, upon returning to their home tonight,
in the rear of 333 North street, found that the
windows of their house had been broken in
their absence. This SO enraged them that they
at once armed themselves and started out to
wreak vengeance ON some one. Reaching
North street, they first met William 7. Sharp,
an employe of the American Rubber Company,
who was returning home from work. Gateono
struck him on the shoulder with an ugly
blade, and also plunged the blade into his
stomach, inficting serious, though not fatal
wound. The next victim was George Dono-
hoe, an engineer in the employ of the city, who
received cuts severing the muscles OF the right
arm. His wounds are considered more serious
than those of Sharp. Charles Mclaughlin,
another passer-by, was cut about the clothing,
but was not hurt himself. Both the Italians
were finally arrested

THE GRAIN CROP.
Poor Prospects in fhe Wheat Beif-Pros
poets of "a Short Corn Crop i'm Kansas.

pcctA OA u SHOFt COfu OrOp Au AAuusstss
TOPEKA, Kan., May 19.-Reports received
from 50 counties in Western Iowa, 46 counties
in Eastern Nebraska, 56 in Western Missouri
and 6S counties in Kansas, which make up q
solid territory ST 400 miles north and south
aud 800 miles east and west, and which en-
braces d large portion Of the wheat belt of the
West show that the wheat prospect in the
counties of Iowa and Missouri is &c pr cent.
less than it was for the crop of last year, in
Nebraska 30 per cent. and in Kansas 58 per
cent less
The delay in planting corn is IL days in
Iowa and Nebraska and 21 days in Kansas
and Missouri. About one-third of the corn
crop OF Kansas has been planted, and half of
it will have to be replaDted. A noticeable
fact is that corn is selling in Topeka, Kan, for
from forty to forty-three cents, while at sew
eral other points in Kansas it sells for upwards
of so cents. The farmers of Kansas look for
ward to an Indifferent corn crop, and as a
consequence are holding their old corn. It is
safe to say that no more old corn will be sent
from Kansas this year.

Another Trial Trip, with Anything but

Claims.

New YORK. May 19.-The steel cruiser Dol
phin,which made her third trial trip yesterday
was nnruly from the start. The machinery
had hardly got into full swing before it was
plain that there was to be another fiasco. About
an hours run had been taken, much of it
forced, when it was clear that the machinery
was not in condition to go through the six
hours test, and soon the Dolphin was once
more at anchor in the Sound, and the men
were busy unscrewing the hot straps and pull.
ing out the smoking packing. 1t was long af-
ter dark when the passengers went ashore dis
gusted. Whether there will be another trial is
extremely doubtful. Mr.. Roach will take the
ground that the vessel, as it stands today, was
made under the most minute supervision of
the old advisory board, and THAT the navy off,
GERS drew plans and specifications directing
the size and style of every bolt and pin. Mr..
Roach will claim the breakdown on the first
trial when the shaft snapped, was one which
could not be foreseen; that at the second trial,
the horse power rose to 21S0 in the REQUIRED
23O0, which is near enough for any reasonable
man, and that the last two tests, when hot
Journals stopped the way, were tests to which
no new machinery should be subjected
