The East Side Parade.

The hotel keepers at North Conway and
the very energetic board of trade of that
town have already commenced to make
extensive preparations for the annual
coaching parade which will take place
Tuesday, August Both. This event, as
everyone knows, marks the climax of
summer gaiety, and since its Inaugural
ton two years ago, the managers have
each year endeavored to Guido the efforts
of their predecessors, and with such sue
cess that the patronage to the railroads
entering North Conway was more than
three times on the second event what it
was for the first. This will be, then, the
third annual parade, and more money,
time and energy are to be put into the
preliminary arrangements than for both
prior occasions combined, and a cores
bonding increase in magnitude and in
terest is looked for. Numbers of spe-
cial trains will be run by the Maine Cen
trail and Boston & Maine railroads, and
August Both, if the weather is favorable,
will 90 down in the records as the great
gala day of the mountains. 1t is none
too early, then, for those desiring to par
tieipate in this enjoyable event to be en-
gaging hotel accommodations now,

CITY OF DEERING.
There Is Some Question About the Form
aIity of the Oakdale Caucus.

There is some doubt about the result
of the Deering caucuses for the choice of
a Republican candidate for legislature.
The returns from all the wards but
Ward 6, (Oakdale), gave to G. A. Wood
bury and J. Fl. Hutchins, the two lead
ing candidates, 105 votes each. Oakdale,
therefore, decided the contest by giving
Woodbury. IA votes to for Moore and
for Hutchins. 1t now turns out that
there was an informality about the Oak
dale caucus. The general call issued by
the city committee directed the voters in
the various wards to meet in their re-
spective ward rooms. These ward
rooms had been established since the
last ward caucuses were held. In Oak
dale the upper room of the school house
was designated as the ward room. The
previous caucus, however, (the first held
under the ward SYSTEM, had been held
in the new Oakdale Hall. Monday eve
ming, most of the Republican voters
gathered at the hall as they had done
at the caucus before, instead of going to
the school house, as the call directed.
Yesterday this informality was con-
siderably discussed, and there was a
wide divergence of opinion in Deering.
Mr.. Hutchins said to the PRESS repre-
sentative last evening that he had not
investigated the matter sufficiently to
have formed an opinion as to whether a
new caucus should be called. He said
that the caucus seemed to be clearly in
formal, however.
A member of the Oakdale ward COM
mittee said last evening that, while it
may have been stupid thing for them
to meet in the hall, there was no inten-
ton or thought of gaining any advantage
thereby for any candidate. The voters
met upon the general call which was
published in the papers and went to the
hall where they had met before. The
caucus was larger than the other one
held in the ward, and he thought it a
fair expression. He did not know of
any men who failed to vote by going to
the school house instead of the hall. No
such person had made complaint to the
ward committee thus far.
| The question of a new caucus in the
ward will probably be brought up at the
| meeting of the city committee tomorrow
| evening.

Repub1ican Convention.

The delegates to the First District
convention, chosen at the caucuses Mon
day evening met at Republican head
quarters in Brown Block yesterday after
noon to select three delegates at large.
Chairman George M. Seiders of the
district committee called the meeting to
order, and was elected chairman of the
convention and A. F. Gerrish clerk. On
motion of Mr.. Pennell Mr.. Griffin was
authorized to throw the vote of the con-
vention for Sylvester Mari, a. T. Ger
IRISH and John D. Snowman and they
were elected. The convention then adj

station which will be on the front side
of the city. The railroad round house
and turning table are already going up
and the freight station, now used as
passenger depot, has been completed
some time.
Zircon mountain, situated about three
miles from the city, is quite famous for
it's mineral spring and there will probably
be new hotel built on the site. A
Boston syndicate built hotel here few
years ago but it was destroyed by fire
and nothing has been done to utilize the
spring water since.

This company intend to have electric
lights and water works furnished to the
business portion of Ru1hford Falls this
season, fitting out the resident section
next year. By this fall the railroad
contractors expect to have their side
tracks and the station completed and the
streets will probably be laid out. The
passenger trains beginning next Monday
will run regularly from that time on.

Woman Who Knows a Thing or Two
About Raising Potatoes.

There is woman in Sanford, York
county, says the Portsmouth Times, the
wife of Lieut.. Kimball, an officer in the
regular army, who is the largest potato
raiser in that county. 1t is recorded
that last fall she marketed 5000 bushels
of potatoes, at a net price of between so
and go cents bushel and the year before
she netted 81 bushel. Her planting is
all done with a planter, then narrowed
until the potatoes are too large, then a
little dirt thrown to the potatoes with a
horse hoe, no hand hoeing. The potatoes
are ldug by digger drawn by four hors-
es. This spring She used two carloads
of potato fertilizer and eight cart loads
of seed potatoes on 25 acres of land. A
wind mill and tank furnishes water for
spraying the fields. No stock is kept on
the farm except horses.

The barn contained so tons hay, three
horses, two COWS, $500 worth farming
utensils and one of the town road ma
chimes, all of which were burned. In

in the attempt, necessitating medical at
tendance. The lightning also struck the

A Much Delayed wedding.

Miss Florence E. Howell, of Decatur,
and George Vandyke, of Louisville,
married at midnight, had an eventful
experience. Twice had the wedding day
been fixed, but it was postponed. The
third time they came near missing it
again. George expected his wedding
suit from Louisville by express. 1t did
not come, although the couple waited
until the last train was in before start
ing on their journey in the mud, five
miles distant to the home of the bride,
where the wedding guests had assem-
bled to witness the marriage. At
o'clock Vandyke procured his license,
and as he was coming out of the Office
he fell headlong twelve feet into the
cellar Of the new court house. Later he
started with the bride and four friends
for the Howell place, when the single
tree broke, the horses kicked themselves
loose and ran away, leaving the party in
the mud. Another vehicle was secured
and the journey resumed. The party
arrived at II o'clock to find some of the
guests getting ready to go home. The
wedding feast was cold, but the wedding
took place at midnight. Decatur Cor.

The Leaning Tower Mt saragossa.

A committee appointed to report on
the famous Tore Nuova in the Plaza
San Filipe, in the capital of Aragon,
has issued pessimistic account. 1t is
feared that this clock tower, very fine
example of the kind, will have to be
pulled down. Excessive rains and floods
have caused o. subsistence of the soil and
the structure is deemed unsafe. The
construction of this TORE inclinada was
begun in the Fifteenth century, under
the direction of two Spanish, two Moor
ish and one Jewish architect; it is
octagonal in form, 300 feet high, as in
diameter, and leans about 10 feet out
of the perpendicular. Stone steps, 260
in number, lead inside to the top gallery.
1t has been stated that the leaning of
the tower was due to the caprice Of the
architects, but an old crack in its side
and careful examination of the founda-
ton led to the conclusion that it was
want Of care on the part of the builders
The Aaragonese speak of the ancient
crack as an old wound in its side, of
which the Tore Nuova is now dying.
This ''old wound" was under treatment
in the year 1860, but an unfortunate re-
lapse threatens to result in an entire COL
lapse.-Tablet.

James MdrpSv Nlicsycnn, Is the
latest to come sxsrd wisA . smoke
consuming & e. Rather. though, is
it Mr.. Murphy plan to prevent smoke.
and This he seeass 10 DO very effectually
by patent arrangement which he places
Oh boilers and stoves. 1t is the idea to
catch and burn the gases that are libar-
ated from the coal before they form the
smoke. The smoke itself, the inventor
says, cannot be burned after it has once
been formed. SO he burns the gases
The principle is that of taking air up
from the ashpit in furnace through
fire clay pipes to a hot AIR chamber
above the CRATE bars. From here it is
thrown from all four sides Of the CRATE
through a three-quarter inch space which
is left open all around the FIRE, the space
being partially lodged over with slip"
that throws the air across the furnace.
The distribution of this hot air equally
over the fire catches the gases from the
coal before they are formed into smoke
and ignites and burns them.
Thus only about 90 per cent. of the
usual amount of smoke contains no car
bon, lis not dirty at all and is white
instead of sooty. Mr.. Murphy demon
strates the principle of his device in a
stove, where the results are more easily
seen. The stove is fitted with three fire
clay pipes on each side to conduct the
air. The stove burns any kind of coal
or coke and from none of them can any
smoke be seen to arise. The stove makes
its own draft from the airshaft. The
flame burns inward and close to the
middle of the CRATE. An examination
of the chimney shows no smoke going
up.-New York Telegram.

A Steel Chimney.

In order to economic space and
weight, steel is being used for the con
struction, at the Chicago exhibition, Of
chimney which, when completed, will
be $50 feet high. The steel varies in
thickness from 5-32 inch at top tc
"a inch at the bottom. The lower part
of the chimney is lined with fire brick
s inches deep, formed to fit the shell
compactly all round. Above this hollow
tile is used.
The weight of brick chimney Of this
size would be almost 700 tons, while II
steel it will weigh, including the Innings
little less than $50 tons. The outside
diameter of the chimney is feet
inches, whereas had it been constructed
of brick it would be 16 feet 6 inches, q

Getting Rich Fast.

Two young men near Los Angeles,
CAL, are rapidly making fortune slay-
ing coyotes. Last April they were not
worth fifty dollars, but now they have
$3,7OO to their credit in bank and they
are adding about $3.50 week to their
deposit. They have fifty traps set, and
with these and their rifles are rapidly
thinning out the coyotes in Los Angeles
and San Bernardino counties. At five
dollars scalp there is more money in
hunting coyotes than in growing grain
or fruit, but the business will probably
come to an end when the next legisla-
ture meets. The law which was passed
as a joke has proved to be very costly
pastime. Francisco Chronicle.
