was darker than pitch; the sky was over
cast, and the wind was moaning out in the

kind of night that goblins and ghosts 20

utation for truth and veracity, and does not
believe in ghosts, but since his experience
the other night he hardly knows how he
does stand on the imp question. They were
running 10 or 20 miles an hour, and the
knight of the throttle was sitting on his
seat In the cab looking out of the window.
There was no light In the cab to speak of,
Suddenly there appeared by the side of the
track white object, nearly seven feet tall,
and IL 1t wasn't ghost the engineer says he
never saw one. The thing disappeared, only
to reappear again second later. Then the
goblin started for the woods, and the engin-
eer says 1t turned and looked around at him
and then ran like the wind, disappearing as
suddenly as it had appeared, leaving no
trace behind. The engineer acknowledges
and II he had been on the ground he would
have run like deer to get out of the way
The fireman did not see the spectre and
thinks the engineer must have imagined 1t,

to the engineer that number of trainmen

ispecial TO the Press.l


BANGOR, August 18.-The Commercial to-
night prints the following des patch, dated
from Augusta "a strong pressure has
been brought to bear, 1t is understood, on
Isaac C. Atkinson of Portland to induce
him to accept the Democratic nomination for
governor In 1892.
Mr.. Atkinson is identified with almost ev-
cry line Of business In Maine, is progres-
sive. wide-awake and distinguished business
man. and is very popular with the laboring
people Of the state.
He is soundly Democratic, and has been
several times mentioned in connection with
Democratic nominations for mayor of Port
land, but would never allow ithe use of his
name.
Mr. Atkinson is opposed to the prOhibito-
ry system, and his nomination would be re-
garded as declatation of war on that great
failure of failures here and everywhere else.
That his name should have suggested it
self to Democrats in different sections of the
state is not at all remarkable. for his BUSH
ness reaches every section, and he has in
fused much of his own spirit into every line
with which he is connected.
Hon. E. G. Allen, who had been suggested
In connection with the nomination. is dead.
Payson Tucker, also suggested, does not feel
that he could give the time necessary to carry
on campaign as 1t should be pressed next
year, but Mr.. Atkinson would rally the
young men of the state as perhaps no other
man could.
He would make vigorous and business
like campaign, and there would be no letting
of the election 60 by default with him as the
candidate.
