GRAND ARMY CONVENTION.
VIII Not Be Held Either in Lewiston OF
Portland.

Department Commander Fl. Wesley Gil
man was in Lewiston Wednesday evening
to attend the installation of the officers
of Burnside Post. Commander Gilman
said:
"The story in the papers about the
convention being held in Bangor, Lew
iston or Portland has no authority what
ever. We have given up the idea of going
to Gardiner on account of insufficient
accommodations in that city. but we
shall certainly not hold the annual en-
campment in any city that has candi-
date. Auburn has candidate in Com
rade It. Eustis of Djxdeld, who is
member of Burnside Post, and Portland
has a candidate in Comrado Green, and
SO we cannot hold the encampment in
either of these two cities. l have
no voice or choice in the matter. l am
with the boys, and wherever the most
of the boys want to go there the en-
campment will be held"

They Paid Double What They Should.

of the dividend. although it had only. had
control of the road for one-half of the semi
annual period. This was seven years ago.
but the mistake WAS apparently only dis
covered last spring, when the matter was

A DISCOURAGING JOB.
The viIora H, Hopkins Persists Stubbornly
in Remaining Waterlogged.

The grounding of the bark Vilora H..
Hopkins on Alden's Rock, as she was
sailing out of this port with cargo of
lumber for South America, has resulted
in one of the most perplexing and dis
heartenlng jobs ever known in this har-
Dor. The bark was towed back to port
virtually waterlogged. Since then eff
orts have been made to get her in con-
dition to be repaired, but SO far without
avail. A Portland tug tried pumping
ole day, but did not make much i'm
preston. A diver is now at work ex-
amining the bottom, and steam pump
has been set up on board to make an
effort to relieve her from her waterlog
ged condition. AS soon as posi- ble.- the
bark will be towed to Boston for repairs
in a big dock. There have been reports
that there was disagreement between
those insuring the cargo and those insur-
ing the vessel, as to where the repairs
should be smade. One of the under
writers states, however, that there is
no foundation for this rumor.
