PORTSMOUTH, N. H., June 13.-David
G. McRitchie, acting freight clerk of the
.. S. S. Fern, has not been seen since he
left the vessel in Boston, May Both, just
before the ship sailed for this port. Nc

POLITICS IN KNOX COUNTY.
Some Republicans Who Are Mentioned as
Candidates.
Especial to the Press.]

RocKLAND. Me-, June 13.-The Repub-
lican county convention will be held at
the court house in this city, Thursday.
July 7th. From the fact that Knox coun-
ty is about the only Democratic county
in the state, and that this, the presiden-
tial year, will witness hard fought con
test, much interest is centered on the
nominations that will be made by the
several parties.
With regard to the senatorial nomina-
ton it will be borne in mind that by the
last apportionment Knox county will
hereafter have but one senator, in place
of the two now in office. There are at
present but two Republican candidates
for this nomination, DIR. W. A. Albee of
Camden and A. III. Newbert of Appleton.
DR.. Albee is a leading Camden Republi-
can, prominent in marine circles, and
will have the unanimous backing of the
Camden delegation. Mr.. Newbert until
recently was postmaster at Appleton.
Several years ago he was nominated for
the legislature from his class, and al
though that class is strongly Democratic
Mr.. Newbert was elected.
For clerk of courts, Ralph r. Ulmer,
ESQ.,, the present Republican incumbent,
will be renominated by acclamation.
E. S. Vose of Gushing, who was be-
fore the Republican convention two years
ago as a candidate for sheriff, and who
was defeated by Nelson Hall of ST.
George, is again mentioned, but Mr..
'Vose has assured the PRESS cores
pondent that he would only accept, pro-
viding the nomination came unanimous
ly.
The friends of Capt E. S. Farwen of
this ast Lo, L =
name as a candidate for sheriff and it is
safe to assert that he will be the nomi-
nee.
From the fact that there are two very
evenly matched candidates in the field,
the contest over Judge of probate prom
ises to be one of the features of the CON
vention. Judge Ruel Robinson of Cam
den, who is at present most acceptably
filling this Office, has announced that he
will not be a candidate for re-nomina-
ton. Prominent business men who have
doings with the probate court have pre-
sented the name of G. E. Meservey of
South Thomaston. John F. Libby, ESQ.,,
of the law firm of Fogler & Libby, has
also been presented.
For the nomination of register of pro-
bate there are also two candidates, Ed
win Sprague and E. K. Gould, Esq, both
of this city.
OF the board of.eounty commissioners,
Capt. G. A. Sylvester of Rockport, chair
man, is the retiring member. For this
nomination Capt. M. B. Cook of Friend
ship and T. S. Bowden of Washington
are aspirants.
But it is the contest over county treas
urer that is exciting the most interest.
Four candidates, all of this city, have en-
tered the field.
Of these Edgar Beverage was county
treasurer four years ago, serving to gen
eral satisfaction. He was also the nomi-
nee two years ago, being defeated by
Alvah B. Clark, who was nominated by
the Prohibitionists and endorsed by the
Democrats.
The other candidates for the nomination
are L. r, Campbell, rising young attor-
ney: Frank M. Shaw, real estate agent;
and G. c. Chandler, ,assistantin the Rock
land Trust Company

CHICAGO, June 13.-For three days, in
tensely hot weather has prevailed in this
city. About three this afternoon, heavy
clouds began to gather and half an hour
later the darkness was so intense that
electric and gas lights had to be used in
the offices and stores. A few minutes
later, tornado swept down upon the
city from the northwest, accompanied
by terrific thunder and lightning and
torrents of rain and hail. In the west
division of the city, wires were broken
down, awnings torn off and windows
shattered. Several buildings in course
of erection were wholly or partly wreck
ed. A brick cottage on Whipple street
was demolished and a two-year old boy
was killed, his mother and another child
being badly injured. In the district be-
tween22nd and 23rd streets, great dam
age was done. The telegraph, telephone
and electric systems were completely
demoralized for time. The large
chimneys of manufacturing houses were
wrecked.
An elevator near Butler street was
struck by lightning and large hole torn
IN the building. The grain was badly
damaged by the rain. In the business dis
trict, at the Home Insurance Building.
three large plate glass windows in the
corner occupied by the Union National
Brink were blown in. j. J. Podell, the
president of the bank, was severely cut
on the thigh by large piece of glass.
The rain deluged the bank and did con-
siderable damage
Seventy-fye men were at work in the
big Democratic wigwam when a post
gave way and tore through the canvass.
The wind got under it, the guy wires
snapped and the centre pole fell, crash
ing through the floors and spelling hun
dreds of chairs. The canvass was rent
in shreds and the rain deluged the floors.
The damage to the wigwam is $4,000. The
roof will be rebuilt for the convention.
Several large stores in the business
district had their plate glass windows
blown in and suffered some damage from
the rain. During the storm, owing to
Uuo elecuilcdl current on Ine cables, sew
eral gripmen on the line were severely
shocked. The storm played havoc with
great piles of lumber in the district
about Blue Island avenue and 22d street.
For half an hour the air seemed full of
flying boards and shingles. Three en-
ployes in one yard were badly injured.
At midnight two persons are known to
have been killed and five or six fatally
injured. The latter were working men
in new buildings. 1t is feared three
men seen on the lake in row boat be-
fore the storm were lost.
Armour's 'sD'' elevator was struck by
lightning and wrecked. Charles j. Rob-
erts, at work in the boiler room, was bur-
led beneath the mass of brick and tim
ber.

PEACE AND GOOD FEELING.

Ihe Republican Ticket making Friends in
the West.
NEW YORK, June ia spicy de-
spatch to the Press from Minneapolis
says: Peace and good feeling have sue
ceeded the hot strife in the Republican
National Convention more speedily even
than the most experienced campaigner
would believe.
The houseful of guests whom Senator
Washburne entertained at his fine home
here was the hotbed of the anti Harrison
forces. There were a few administra-
tion men among the Senator's friends,
but most of them were first Blaine men
and second Mckinley or Sherman men,
and last of all administration men. They
parted all Harrison men. 1t was a very
encouraging sign.
Even Senator Teller of Colorado,
whose extreme free silver views made
him the most unreserved and outspoken
enemy of President Harrison, remarked
today:
"Whatever can be said about the ticket
in the way of criticisms has been said al
ready. For the next five months it will
grow in favor as Harrison has at other

kilograms received here from all parts
of the Northwest show that the ticket is
well received in that part of the country.
The leading Republican newspapers in
the Northwestern States have favored
Harrison's nomination right along, and
without exception they are jubilant
now.
MI. Spooner, the brilliant ex-senator
from Wisconsin, said: "The Republican
party is always deliberate, thoughtful,
and patriotic, and what man known to
the American public more fittingly meets
the requirements of that taste than Ben
jamin Harrison? National Republican
conventions have not been accustomed
to make mistakes, and none has Ebeen

Mr.. Depew, who came along at this

Thomas Jefferson's, President Harrison

today to give an opinion of the talk about
sending Mr.. Blaine to the Senate to sue
ceed Senator Hale. He said he did not
know whether Mr.. Blaine would care to
go to the Senate, but he had no hesita-
ton in saying that any honor in the gift
of the Republicans of Maine that Mr..
Blaine may desire would be enthusiastic
ally bestowed upon the great leader.
