SAGADAHOC POLITICS.
Ghe Contest Over the Judge Of Probate Office
@<.--~-- Is Waxing Warm.

BATH, July 22.-The Sagadahoc county
Republicans will have a pitched battle
among themselves at the county conven-
ton to be held in this city, July 81. This
the leaders admit.
The first preliminary skirmish came at a
caucus in Bowdoinhsm, where the support
ers of County Attorney Newell for judge
of probate and DR.. III. M. Ferguson for
State senator met in a clash with a force of
Republicans who were working to elect
delegates favorable to the nomination of
Judge Hall far judge of probate and Hon.
J. Loyalist Brown for State senator. The
Newell Ferguson combination supposed they
had the caucus ''dead sure but in that
they were disappointed.
Hon. S. w. Carr is stanch friend of
Judge Hall, and he went into the fight at
the last moment to down the Newell crowd,
who had for leader Deputy Sheriff Bert
Cornish. The caucus was large i'll num-
hers, great generalship being used by both
,ides to get out all voters in the town, which
.ss not an easy task, as tine farmers were
in the midst of haying. Hall delegates
we're elected by a small majority. The
Newell faction claim that had 1t not been
for treachery on the part of their number
Newell delegates would have been chosen.
The next fight will take place i'll Rich
mond, the home of Hall and Newell, and
battle even warmer than the one at Bow
doinHam is expected. The caucus will be
neld ne xt Saturday afternoon. The leader
# the Hall forces in Richmond is James
Il Cunningham, young lawyer, mem
Der of the county committee and candl'
date for equity attorney. lie is known as
shrewd and untiring worker. County
Attorney Newell is personally conducting
Ms canvass in Richmond, and he has an
able assistant, John Chapman.
At this writing the prospect is that who
ever wins 10 Richmond it will be close
margin. The prominent workers for
New ell fell sure OF sending anti-Hall dele
gates TO Bath, and they claim that if Hall
is downed at the caucuses he should not be
heard from at the convention.
1t has been a rule with the Bath Republi
cans to concede to Richmond the candidate
selected by that place when county office
is allotted TO that town. This was done two
years ago when Judge Buker was Rich
mond's choice, although some Bath friends
of Judge Hall were opposed to setting him
aside. There has been, how ever, since then
a growing feeling that it is Baths duty to
cast its vote at the convention for the best
m regardless of other considerations
County Attorney Newell, if successful in
Richmond, surely expects the Bath dele
gates to cast their votes for him at the con-

IT IS DOOMED.
Little Prospect Of Tariff Legis-
Iation at This Session.
House and Senate Quarrel Like Two
School Boys Over Bill.
Each is Stubborn and The Business Of the
Country Suffers.

WAsHINGToN, July 22.-There is now
no measure on the House docket of such
importance to command the assignment of
day for its consideration. The COM
mit.ce on rules will meet tomorrow to
decide what committees shall be recognized
during the week for presentation of
business decided upon by them
All interest in Congress the coming week
centres about the Senate, where the fate of
the tariff bill may be decided by vote to
be taken on the conference report now be-
fore that hody for action.
prominent Democratic leader, chair
man of one of the most important Senate
committees, said, tonight, that unle ss
something altogether unexpected hap
pened before the Senate met, to-
morrow, all hope of tariff legis-
aiion at this session of Congress
would be doomed to disappointment. Thus
far the senators who have insisted that the
compromise bill should be used or none,
have kept clear of their colleagues and have
declined to talk the situation over. They
stand as firmly as ever where they have al
ways stood and declare there is nothing to
discuss; it must be the Senate bill or moth
ing. The managers of the bill on the part
of the Senate realize this.
The senate sugar investigating committee
will resume its sessions, tomorrow, and
will have as witnesses another New York
broker and New York newspaper man,
who are said to be conversant with the al
legged facts in the latest phase of the sugar
scandal. The broker, whose name the
committee has suppressed, is said to be the
possessor of the original orders given by at
least two senators for the purchase of
sugar stock for themselves.

Burglar.

BINGHAM, July %. - Special - For

he began dressing nicely and seemed to
nave lots of money, which set the people to
wondering whether he was burglar or
what. He was seen with man named
Geo. Lake whose confidence he won so
much that Lake told some of his plans and
wanted him to help wreck the Somerset
rain.
One night Lake attempted to enter tie
station at Embden not knowing that Detec-
tive Ira NJ. True was laying in ambush.
At 80 z. M, he made his attempt but
was frightened away. At 80 +. M, he
made another attempt but some one ap-
preached the depot and he ran. AT l2.2o
L. NJ, he made another try but team
driving near frightened him away and he
did not attempt it again.
Last night Detective True came up to
SoIon and with the aid of Deputy Sheriff
Grant soon had Lake under custody. FRI
Law morning Mr. True took his man to
Madison where hearing was held. Lake
pied guilty and was bound over.

wock Jail
That strange man, tramp and burglar
WAS none other than q detective working
under Trues directions.
He played bis part well and soon run his
game into the ground.

In his early days, however, says the
Boston Herald, the tadpole soon loses

gulp of breath.
During the first part of his career

and mere sprouts of fore legs; so that
he is i; very funny looking fellow.
Again, the tldpole eats water plants,
