DEMOCRATS AGITATED
By Two Prominent Washington County
Business Men,
Who VIII Cast Their Ballots tor HarYi-
son and Protection.

A Calais SPECIAL to the Portland Press says
Democratic circles in this county are much
agitated by the announcement that Messrs.
l.. Leighton and Horace Leighton of Colum-
bia Falls, in this county, have declared their
intention to vote for Harrison and Morton.
The Messrs. Leighton are of the firm of L.
Leighton & Son, of Columbia Falls,
dealers in general merchandise and
lumber, and heavy owners in ship
ping. They are this year building a
vessel at Columbia Falls, and they are also
the proprietors Of the Columbia Falls Cam
ming Company. They are among the most
prominent and influential business men in
Washington county. They have always been
Democrats, standing high in the councils of
the party in this county. Mr.. Horace
Leighton has been twice the Democratic
candidate for sheriff of Washington county,
in 1884, and again in 1886.
As would be expected, the announcement
of their decision created no little consterna-
ton among the Democratic hereabouts. and
delegation of prominent party leaders went
over to Columbia Falls to interview the
Leightons. They were very courteously re-
ceived by Mr.. Horace Leighton, and at once
began to put in the missionary work. But
he stopped them with the declaration: "Yes,
gentlemen, | shall vote for Harrison and
Morton and protection. | cannot stand this
free trade programme of the Democratic
party any longer. 1t will ruin the business
of this place and of good many other places
throughout Maine. 1t is no use for you to
demonstrate. | am going to vote for the pol
icy that means prosperity; and what is more,
am going to use all my influence to get
Others to vote the same way"
As both of the Leightons have great deal
of influence in this county, this statement
did not make the visiting delegation very
happy.

Mr. Blaine says; Nothing ever gratified
me more than the prospect of getting home

but the best part of the trip will be the sight
of Sandy Hook next week. The more |

| to make books, but to get rest. Ihave found
what came for, but let me tell you that for
comfort, home is the best place in all the

| Great curiosity exists here regarding the
trip of the "City of New York" in which
Blaine will cross the sea-" 1t is predicted
| that she will break the record of Atlantic
passages. Mr.. Blaine expects delightful
passage His room on the ship is on the
deck, and as at this season smooth seas may
be looked for, the trip ought to be a picnic.

again touches American soil, will be men,
orable one. New York will have more visi-
tors on Thursday of next week than she has
seen in a long time.

A Communication.


Editor Of the Kennebee Journal
GENTLEMEN My attention has just been
called to communication which appeared in
your paper, during my absece from home, rela-
tive to the killing of trees upon State Street
By the escape of gas from the mains of the
Augusta Gas Company. desire to say in
behalf of the Augusta Gas Company that one
of the dangers which always exists from the
manufacture of gas, is that leaks will break
out in the winter time and owing to frost in
the ground they cannot be discovered till
spring in the mean time injury is often
done to trees. which is be-
yond the power of human foresight to pre-
vent. If any trees upon State Street or else
where have been killed by any act of the
Augusta Gas Company, or from any cause
that makes the Company in any degree re-
sponsible, the citizens of Augusta will no,
have to settle the case by any law suit for
the Company stands ready to meet promptly
and faithfully every one of its obligations
Very respectfully,

Treasurer of Augusta Gas Co

AT LAST.
A Reporter Claims to Have Solved a
Murder Mystery.

BosToN, July 80
On the evening of February 8, 1879, a
mysterious murder was committed in Bangor.
The victim, William b. Elliott, a respected
citizen and ex-tax collector of the town
of Glenburn, was found dying on the
snow by the roadside just out of the city.
The police used strenuous efforts to gain
some clews to the guilty parties, but their
ork was unavailing. A Boston Globe re-
porter has been investigating the case lately
with the aid of a local detective, and thinks
he has solved the mystery. His theory is
that Samuel d. Haynes, who is serving life
sentence at Thomaston for killing Rockland
officer in an attempt to escape, murdered Ell
lott for his money. This is based Oh the
alleged revelation of an anonymous person to
whom Bangor saloon keeper named Lyons
confessed that he knew that Haynes did the
deed. Lyons afterward committed suicide.
