The case was that OF Charles l. Rawson,
who, several years ago, was indicted for

from two women who had employed him to
get pensions for them. In the case Of Caro-
line Porter he was charged lwith having
withheld $500 70. and In the case OF Clara

Next Defeat at the Polls.


AUGUSTA, June 3o.-The Democratic
state committee held a meeting here this
evening. All the counties except Washing
ton were represented by committeeman.
There were few others of the party work
ers present. As there seems to be, as usual,
a considerable number Of the sachems that
desire an appointment as district delegate to
the next National convention, there was
much to be discussed that wasn't down on
the bill The candidates for delegates to
the convention are getting their work in
early. and those who were most urgent for
the license plank at the last state conven-
ti0n have not yet surrendered their purpose
to make this an issue at the next election.
Ostensibly the principal object of the meet
ing was to perfect plans for tracing out an
organization of the party in this state and as
usuel elaborate plans were proposed at the
meeting. 1t is understood that they are to
call the campaign one of education regard
ng the "beauties" Of free trade and the
"wickedness" Of the Republican prohibition
ists The meeting was held at the Augusta
house and adjourned late In the evening"
Among those who were present at the meet
ing were Hon. Arthur Sewall of Bath, John
B. Donovan Of Alfred, Fred Emery Bean of
Brown of Waterville, Chas. Baker of Bel
fast, Thos: White Of Bangor. ]. K. Wilmett

Harbor, VIM. r. Hunnewell of Pittsfield and
X. A. Frye. Col. Charles b. Morton, Oscar
Holway and I. j. Lynch of Augusta, were
also present.
There being four congressional districts in
Maine, and the state being allowed four del
egates at large in national convention, it
has become the custom to select delegate
at large from each district.
The first district was represented in 1884,
and again in 1888, by Payson Tucker, Esq,
the popular manager of the Maine Central
railroad, but, although Mr.. Tucker has been
spoken Of as candidate again this year, he
declines to enter the arena, and has given
his support to the Hon. Nathan Cleaves, the
present surveyor Of the port of Portland.
Colonel Q. H. OsgOod of Lewiston, Joseph
e. Moore of Thomast0n, and Oliver Otis are

ANEW COMPLICATION.
The Trouble With tho Labor organi-
zatIonS

WASHINGTON, June S0.-Hugh Cavanaugh
Of Cincinnati and John Devlin Of the execu-
tive board Of the Knights of Labor had a
consultation with Secretary Foster this after
nocn on the subject at issue for some time
between the chief Of the bureau Of engraving
and printing aud the Knights of Labor, In
which the reappointment of seven plate
printers. removed from the bureau, was in
yolved. Arrangements were in progress for
the settlement of all the differences, when a
delegation representing the Federation of
Labor called at the Treasury Department
and asked for a hearing before any agreement
was made with the Knights. The Federation
representatives were admitted. They OBJ
jected strenuously to any concessions being
made to the Knights which would put their
men ahead of the members OF the Federation
already on the 'chance" list of the bureau,
waiting for employment. This new compli-
cation OF the case made any final agreement
impossible, and the secretary was compelled
to leave the question pending until tomor-
row, or until the labor organizations can set
tie the fight among themselves.

Freeman, who is wanted at Forest, Tex, for
murder and melting riot in which seven
men were killed, was arrested yesterday
while bathing at Haddox Ferry, near Prince
ton, Ky. He was at one time guard at the
Eastern Penitentiary of Texas, but through
negligence lost his position. He began to
inclte convicts to rebellion and made plans
for their escape. At Forest, Tex, in June
1890, while the convicts were at work outside
the prison, Freeman furnished arms to the
most desperate, and at signal they made a
break for liberty. In the melee several
guards and citizens were killed and 81 con-
