My Dear Sir-I am not candidate for

COASTED TO HIS DEATH.
Bath Boy Horribly Mangled by Sled

Especial to the Press.1

BATH, February IA terrible accident
occurred Saturday night on South street;
whereby IL year old son of John F..
Perkins lost his life. This street is by
general consent set apart for coasting.
Young Perkins, while descending the
hill, met a sled coming in the opposite
direction and to avoid collision turned
to the right. The other boy, whose name
could not be ascertained, turned to the
left. The two sleds crashed together,
the sharp ends of the runners entering
the Perkins boys left side, between the
two lower floating ribs, making a hole
five inches in length. The large intes-
tines, stomach and spleen protruded, the
latter being terribly mangled. The boy
died in an hour.

BANGOR, February There will be a
strong fight made against the leasing of
the Bangor & Piscataquis railroad to the
Bangor & Aroostook Railroad Company,
according to the proposition which has
been made by the latter company. The
faction which is opposed to the lease is
in for a bitter fight. They say they are
unable to get an article expressing their
views printed in any one OF the city pa
pers, so Saturday they had distrib-
uted two circulars stating their position
What the opposition claim is that they
want guarantee from the Bangor tE
Aroostook that the Bangor u Piscataquis
road shall not be again thrown back up
on the city. The friends Of the Bangor
& Aroostook railroad say the proposition
which has been made is q fair one, that
the men who are interested in and have
subscribed money to build the Bangor &
Aroostook railroad are among the lar
gest property holders in Bangor, and
that they should be, and are, among the
best persons to do anything by which
the city shall suffer detriment. The
men who oppose the lease of the Bangor
d Piscataquis are those who have all
along opposed the building of the Ban
gor IL Aroostook over the route which
has been surveyed. They say they favor
a direct line into Aroostook, but want
one which when built will be Of benefit
and not an injury to Bangor. The fight
bids fair to be bitter one, which will be
most unfruitful of results to all who are
concerned.

WHAT WASHINGTON SAYS.
Some Surprised, Others Expected Tt All

Especial to the Press.1
WASHINGTON, February THE off
cial announcement of Mr.. Blaines with
drawal from the presidential race created
great sensation here this evening. 1t
is true the. news has been talked about
for the past week, but so many people
believed that Mr.. Blaine would remain in
the race and be the Republican candidate
for the presidency, that when at last,
over his own signature, he announced
that he was not a candidate there were
many expressions of disappointment.
Many are of the opinion that Mr..
Blaine believes that his health would not
permit him to run.
On the effect of Mr.. Blaine's with
drawal on Mr.. Harrison's prospects,
opinions differ. While it will assist the
President in his effort for a renomina-
ton there ..will be other candidates in
the field and the convention will not
resolve itself into ratification
meeting Senators Allison of Iowa and
Cullom are avowed candidates. SO is
General Alger of Michigan, while
MI. Mckinley is regarded
as a very strong pos
sibility. The name of MI. Reed has
been frequently mentioned tonight and
there is a formidably body of men in
both Houses of Congress who
would like to see Mr..
Reed nominated. They say that a
ticket reading Reed and Alger would be
a sure winner, and it is not at all unlike
ly that efforts may be made 70 EEing
about Mr.. Reeds nomination.
Representative Boutelle, when asked
what he thought about the letter, said
s'This letter comes as surprise to me.
had no premonition of it, although
knew that such q thing had been talked
about for some time. | think the most
significant thing about it is that
the utterances of any indi-
vidual will attract such universal
attention as this letter undoubtedly will.
l have no information as to what led Mr..
Blaine to adopt this course, although I
suppose he is now of the same opinion as
he was in 1888 and does not care to go
through another campaign.
"Will Mr.. Blaine's friends accept this
letter as final and as ending the matter as
far as he is concerned?'
''Mr. Blaine says he is not a candidate
and that his name will not go before the
convention. What the convention will
do remains to be seen, but 1 should
think that, in view of the letter, they
will respect his wishes and not try to
nominate him. Of course his declina-
ton to be candidate will be great dis
pointment to thousands of Republicans
whose idol he has been for so many
years, and who for Is years have hoped
to see him elected President.
II am not surprised to hear that Mr..
Blaine has written this letter." said Gov.
Dingley. ''Erom expressions which Mr..

STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST.

There is much excitement in Bruns-
wick over the case of J. August Fortin
and Theophile r. Desjardines, who were
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Despeaux,
Friday on a charge of forgery, and who
will be given a hearing before Judge
Townsend on Monday The Metropol-
tan Life Insurance Company a few years
ago appointed Fortin its agent and year
| later Desiardines was also appointed.
| Their business opened very auspiciously,
and they found many ready to speculate on
others lives. They began to want more
| business, and in order to get it they are
now accused of having deviated somewhat
from the straight and narrow path.
Whenever they found a man who was
willing to speculate on some other per-
sons life, it is alleged, they would make
out an application, saying that the per-
son to be benefited was a relative, and,
unknown to the applicant, would sign
his name. The payee met all the bills;
the agents did all the collecting, and the
insured received no notice of the assess
ments. There was big money in the
business for the agents, and it is thought
they really did not quite understand they
were doing wrong. A great many of the
French Canadians are unable to sign their
names, and it was very easy matter to
simply forge a cross. The agents ac-
counts with the company are all right.
The Saco river is again closed to nayi-
cation and preparations for the ice har-
vest are being made.
Department Commander Dyer has
made the following appointments:
Charles +. Jones, Skowhegan, assistant
adjutant general; A. d. Russell, Angus
ta, chief recruiting officer.
Mrs. Eliza Cummings of Eddington
makes strange complaint to the Bangor
police. She says that her daughter was
abducted by woman who claims that
she took the child in order that a wealthy
gentleman might adopt the little one.
Mrs. Cummings objects to having her
daughter adopted in this summary MAN.
ner and the case may come before the
grand jury.
The committee has completed their
examination Of the State Treasury ac-
counts for the year 1891. The cash on
hand at the close of the year was $780,
6O3.6O The bonded indebtedness is 81
$751; 800. There is also an outstanding
temporary loan of 100000. The com;
mittee destroyed registered bonds
amounting to $200,000.
