STOLE HIS SON,
But Claims That He Did So to Avoid
stormy Scene.

BosToN, Mass, June 24-Last fridays
Globe contained despatch dated Augusta,
Me-, which stated that Chester Thwipg of
Newton, Mass, went to Augusta, and kid
mapped his little son, Francis, while he was
playing in front of the North Sydney school.
The despatch further stated that the ehild's
screams aroused the neighbOrhoOd ana that
Deputy Sheriff Benson followed in pursuit
and captured the runaways and compelled
Mr. Thwing to release his son.
From the story told by the ThWjnps IL
seems that the boy had been visiting h is
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stevens of
Augusta, during the abs ence of his father at
sea- When Thwing came home he wrote for
Francis. but without avail, and last week
went to Augusta to get his boy. 1t is trne
that in order to save a stormy scene he
avoided the Stevens home, and it Is true
that, with the aid of an officer he took
Francis, whom he found playing in The
street in front of the school. The Statement
that the little fellow screamed is false. for
he was very glad to see his father and To On
with him. Deputy Sheriff Benson. who Is a
nephew of the Stevens family. started in
pursuit and having fresh horse soon over
took Thwlng and his son. At the same time
the sheriff served a writ on Thwing for a
due claim of $155, the balance of large hill
for doctors services, occasiOned by the last
illness of his deceased wife. The sheriff,
however, agreed not to detain Thwjng IN
the writ II he would release little Francis.
Thwing deemed 1t advisable to give IN the
boy for the time, being better than to % to To
jail for the debt, having no money with
which to settle the claim. He will get his
boy very soon, however, as there is no law
to prevent,

CORNELL FRESHMEN ROW TO VICTORY
They Showed Clear Water to the
Crack New Haven Crew.
An Exciting Triangular Race, Colunn-
bIa Finishing Last.
Hoof Beats Sound on TWO New
England Race Tracks.

NEW LONDON. June 24.-The three-cor-
nered freshman race between the Cornell,
Yale and Columbia eights was rowed this
evening over the two-mile course from the
navy yard to Winthrop Point, and proved
one of the most exciting freshmen races
rowed on the Thames river in several years.
Cornell won after hard pull in the rather
slow time Of II minutes, 16i seconds, with
Yale a good second in IL minutes, % seconds,
and Columbia pushing Yale sharply for
second place, finishing only four seconds be-
hind the New Haven men. Cornell defeated
Yale two boat lengths and Yale defeated
Columbia one and one-quarter lengths. The
feature of the race was at the finish when
the final squirt took place. Cornell fought
hard to hold her lead while Yale and Colum-
bia gradually lessened the distance between
their boats and the leaders. Very probable
In another half mile both Yale and Columbia
would have passed Cornell as the latter was
plainly in distress. especially man No. 2.
Cornell won the race in the first mile by
pulling fast stroke. Cornell took the wa
ter first, taking and holding the lead through
out. Columbia was out OF the race practi-
cally after the first two minutes. Cornell
on squirt moved up to AZ. Yale started at
SO, and did not go higher that SO. Columbia
varied but little from &c. At the half mile
Cornell led Yale nearly two lengths, and Co.
lumbia's bow was tapping Pale's shell. Cor
nell gained nearly another length and half
before reaching the second flag. Yale's
steering here was poor, the coxswain giving
the boat two bad swerves. Two Yale men
splashed badly, and No. made matters
worse by catching a crab and throwing the
man behind him out of line. After passing
the mile flag the Yale crew settled down to
work, and in that half gained three quarters
of length on Cornell, while Columbia fell
back trife.
Coming up to the last half mile flag, Cor
nell led Yale by two and one half lengths,
and Columbia was one and one-half lengths
behind Yale. All through this half the
crews spurted and plainly showed that they
were working hard. Cornelps No. 2 twisted
himself into every shape in his endeavoT to
keep up his end. The No. Yale man was
nearly a passenger. In the last quarter,
Cornell struck flaw of wind and lumpy
water while Yale had smooth water. Yale
improved this opportunity for final spurt
and reduced the lead a little. but Cornell
though badly winded, responded. Columbia
also gained a little In the last quarter.

twice, the first time ON the left cheek and
the second time on the mouth. Before Bak-
er had chance to strike the third time

struck by Baker, but died in about 10 min
utes."

WAR ON the DOGS.
Brunswick Excited over What May
Have Been Rabies.

BRUNSWICK, June 24-The excitement in
Brunswick over the mad dog scare that
started several weeks ago when dog be-
longing to Wallace Call showed signs of be-
ing rabid, by suddenly making war upon all
other dogs, was intensified Sunday by dog
belonging to Charles Melcher developing the
same symptoms. This dog was shot Mon
day, and the selectmen called meeting Of
the citizens to see what was to be done. The
court room was crowded. and after several
speeches it was decide1 that the matter came
properly within the jurisdiction of the
board Of health, whereupon DR.. Wilson,
speaking for the board, said that II it were
left to them all dogs suspected Of having
been bitten would Immediately be killed, and
all others running loose without muzzles
would suffer the same fate. The meeting
heartily endorsed this action, and the num-
ber of Brunswick's worthless as we'll as val
liable dogs will soon be reduced. About 20
dogs were placed on the list for execution
on the spot.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Tomorrow at 2
o'clock the House will take a vote on wheth-
er it will or will not concur with the Senate
in its free coinage scheme. After that vote
the present intention is to proceed at once to
the federal election bill. Probably there
will be fight over the order of the commit
tee on rules in relation to this election bill.
The Republicans intend to allow week of
debate with every opportunity for amend
ments on both sides. The Democrats, who
wish to hold the bill away from the Senate
as long as possible, in the hope Of giving
that body too little time for passing the bill
this session, will contest for more time. The
House will do well If it adopts the order and
gets the bill read through by tomorrow
night. This will bring Henry Cabot Lodges
Introductory speech on Thursday morning.
Mr.. Hemphill of South Carolina, will then
reply.
After the federal election bill is finished
the 'original package" bill will, with the oft
deferred bankruptcy bill. press for consider
alton. The House judiciary committee. af-
ter long consideration over the Senate bill,
have decided to report substitute which is
broader In scope than the Senate bill, mas
much as its provisions apply TO all articles
of interstate commerce, whereas the Senate
bill only applies to intoxicating liquors. The
substitute is as follows:
That whenever any article of commerce is i'm
ported into any state from any other state terri
tory or foreign nation. and there held or offered
for sale, the same shall then be subject to the
laws of such state provided that no discrimina-
ton shall be made by any state In favor Of its cit
iZens against those of other states in respect to
the sale of any article of commerce; nor In favor
of its own products against those of like charac-
ter produced in other states; nor shall the trans
portation of commerce through any state be OBJ
structed exceptin the necessary enforcement Of
the health laws of such state.
The men from the prohibitory states are
very urgent to get this matter attended to as
the original package venders, especially in
Iowa and Kansas, are becoming grievous
plaques to the people.
Cape Elizabeth may be interested to know
that the Senate have amended the Mckinley
bill so as to reduce the proposed duty on cab
bages from three cents to one cent apiece.

Notwithstanding the fog and the fact that
more time should have been given to the
bake so that 1t could have proved tooth
some banquet, the affair may be pronounced
a success, especially the parade. Itis due
to the excellent executive committee to say
they spared no pains, time or labor In carry
ing out this elaborate and effective celebra-
tiOn.
