THE LATE ELECTION

Tuesday Of last week, the Repub-

States. The Democrats only had
an election in two States, Virginia
and Mississippi and, yes, Tam.

again, in spite of the Tiger being
skinned alive last fall. The only
fighting this time occurred In Ohio.
Kentucky and Maryland. In the
Buckeye State, Campbell was badly
defeated and Bushnell elected by
10000 majority. The Legislature
is Republican and Calvin S. Brice
will step down and out of the U. s.
Senate and probably be succeeded
by ex-Gov. J.B. Foraker, who spoke
in Kingwood last fall.
In Kentucky, Gen. Hardin, the
Free Silver Democratic nominee,
on gold standard platform, was
badly worsted by Bradley, the Re.
publican candidate, who is already
being spoken of for Vice President.
The Legislature is Republican and
will elect Republican to succeed
Joe Blackburn in the US. Senate.
In Maryland Lloyd Lowndes was
elected Governor over John T..
Hurst by $4,000 and the Legisla-
ture is Republican and will elect a
successor to U. S. Senator Gibson.
This makes three Senators the
Democrats have lost. Utah went

becoming State and the Repu5.

there.
Lowndes Is native of Clarks-
burg, this State, and now resides
at Cumberland. New jersey went
Republican and elected McGriggs
Governor by about $4,000 over
AcGill. New York State went
Republican by over so, 900, but the
city was carried by Tammany by
about 10000 against the com bined
forces of the Republicans, Reform
Democrats, Old Women, Preachers.

A lawyer in court room NAV
call man liar, scoundrel, william
or thief and no one makes any
complaint when court adjourns. If
newspaper prints such reflection
on mans character, there is a
libel suit or dead editor. This is
owing to the fact that the people
believe what an editor says. What
the lawyer says cuts no figure.

because some one threatened to

the trouble of hauling it back and

comply with some legal technical

Considering the number OF school
houses burned in this county the
past few years, through family feuds
and local factions, it might be
good idea to try the above plan, and
we publish it as a pointer for the
trustees Of the Oak Grove and
Whetsell schools, over in Portland
district, and other places where
threats have been made. The only
drawback we see IS the billy char.

impossible county roads in winter
when the schools are in session.

The trouble this year with the
democrats was, that they are still
hghting among themselves, instead
OF presenting a solid front to the
enemy. So many of the leaders
had old grudges to settle with each
other' and it was much better to
balance accounts this year than to
wait till next year.

Sowing the Wind"

There will be few events of more i'm
portance to local playgoers than the pre-
sentatlon of Sydney Grundy play, "Sow-
ing the Wind. " at the Opera house, Tues
day night. In addition to the great moral
lesson which it teaches under the guise of
highly absorbing narrative Of human
life, tits full of the dainty costuming of
the Georgian era, in which the events are
supposed to occur. These costumes are
all by the celebrated Dazian. Sowing
the Wind" as is well known, ran for two
hundred nights at the Empire Theatre,
New York. 1t comes here for the first
time. bringing with it the prestige of a
brilliant run of over fifty nights in Boston
last season, where its audiences were of
the most cultured and fashionable kind,
and where the praise of the press was I'M
commonly and uniformly enthusiastic.
The Boston Transcript went so far as to
say that "he who fails to see it does him
self an objectionable injury" The great
Boston cast will be here including j. Fl,

CITY HALL BUILDING.
Work on Brick Walls Will be Begun
This Week.
The Granite Foundations Are Well Alono on
Three Sides.

The work on the new city hall building
has progressed rapidly during the past
week and the number of men have been
increased daily until there are now so in
all, and more will be put on the first OF
this week
The dirt is still being excavated from
the section near the western side and car
ried away for grading purposes Many
OF the near residents have taken advantage
of this opportunity for getting good ma,
terial for filling in and in this way much
OF the refuse material has been disposed
of. The foundations On the western side
have not yet been started ewing to the
necessity of having to reach the level of
the river bottom. The retaining wall
close beside it is about 25 feet high and 1t
Is expected that the foundations will have
to be of this depth. The stones and some
of the dirt which had to be dug from this
part have been dumped into the river, but
most of 1t has been hoisted to one side
and carried away in teams.
There have been about so yards of
granite foundations laid in all, most of it
ON the eastern side where the excavations
were completed first There has also been
some laid on the front, close to the east
ern side, and in the rear.
Three derricks are employed, two run
by steam donkcys, the other by hand.
The mason work is being FASTENED as
much as possible to enable the brick lay
ers to commence work, which will be by
the latter part Of the week.
The conveyance of granite has been
managed successfully and eight two-horse
teams are employed daily In transporting
the material from the Sylvester granite
quarry on the North Belfast road. The
route being free from hills, is most expe-
ditious.
The work, last week, was in charge of
Herbert G. Foster, Of the contracting
firm. during the absence of NJ. c. Foster,
who has been In Aroostook county attend
ing the State board of trade excursion.
To see the crowds which congrcgate
about at all hours to view the proceedings
on the new building one would suppose
that they either had nothing better to do
or else were deeply Interested
The prospects are most encouraging
and the work will undoubtedly be well
along by the time the cold weather comes,

A SAD SUICIDE.
Mrs. J. E. Deyine Takes Her. Life
While Temporarily Insane.
Used a knife and Cut Her Throat-Death
Came FainIessy.

Mrs. James z. Devine committed suicide,
at 9 o'clock, Saturday morning, by cutting
her throat in fit of temporary. insanity.
The case of Mrs Devine is one of the
| saddest that has ever come to the lot of
the Journal to chronicle. The victim had
been Ill about six months with severe
attack of gastralgia and showed consider
able mental disturbance. Mrs. Devine
also manifested a suicidal tendency, SO
she was carefully watched. But fort
night ago she seemed to fully recover from
her sickness.
The only thing she said during her ILL
ness that gave any intimation of her men
tai troubles was that she hoped she might
die, and Saturday morning, she said to
her mother, who is in feeble health:
II always wanted to live in order to
take good care of you, dear mother, but 1
think will very shortly leave his world. y
The morning of the sad occurrence, Mrs.
Devine seemed very much better eat q
light breakfast, and at s35 went to the
toilet room There she was found. 25
minutes later, by her aged mother, with
her throat cut from ear to ear She was
sitting on the floor, leaning against the
closet with deep cash across her throat,
which severed the arteries, jugular and
carotid veins and windpire. She must
have died instantly and without struggle
DR.. G. W Martin was summoned, but
his services We're not needed, however, as
when he arrived life was extinct
The instrument with which the deed
was done was large, sharp pocket knife
The knife was found in her right hand
which was lying In her cap.
Coroner Libby was notified but deemed
an inquest unnecessary, every indication
tending to show that death was the result
of suicide
Mrs. Ada Isabelle Devinc was Al years
and months old, having been born in
the town of Yarmouth in the year 1851.
She is survived by her husband and two
daughters, Mrs. f. H. Folsom and Miss
Hannah Dcvine, both of this city. The
members of the family of the dead woman
are completely Frustrated by the shock
and have the sincerest sympathy of all
their friends
The funeral will be held, this afternoon,

How the Dream Came True.

An instance where a dream, or at least
a part of 1t, came true was brought to the
attention of Journal man, Saturday.
CHANGING to meet "A Mr. Colby of West
Gardiner on an electric car from Halo
well, Saturday morning. the journal
learned the following, which may he of
interest to some of the readers and will
be found very difficult to explain. Mr..
Colby has a daughter stopping with a
Gardiner family. He never had left his
team there whenever he visited her, but
Saturday, he decided to do so as he has
a new horse and wished to go to Augusta.
When he saw his daughter she turned
yery pale and was so agitated as to attract
his attention. When asked what the
trouble was, she said she dreamed the
night before that her father came there,
driving new horse, put his team up,
and went on TO Augusta. But the last
mart of the dream was what especially
troubled her. She dreamed that he came
hack from Augusta with an arm shot
sway. When the Journal man met Mr.
Colby all the dream with the exception OF
the shooting had been fulfilled in every
detail
