WELCOMED HOME.
Biddeford Turns Out In Force to Greet a
Clergyman.
ESPECIAL TO THE TREss.J

Biddeford, November 5-Passengers on
the early evening mail train from Boston
must have thought tonight that the
whole town had turned out to see the
train come in. Not only were the plat
forms, walks and station densely packed
with people, but Elm and Thornton
Streets, in therear Of the station, were
a surging mass through which it was
next to impossible to work ones's way.
1t was gala night for Biddeford s
French Canadians, who had assembled
at the railroad station to greet their pas
tor, Rev. Father P E. Dupont of St.
Joseph's church, who has long been
aboad for his health.
All the French organizations, including
ST. Johns and institute societies, the
sacred Hear, the Cremazie Club, the
French clerks and the st. Johns drum
corps, were participants in the parade,
which, headed by Rainchaud's S band, es-
corted the returned pastor from the rail
way station, by q circuitous route, to St.
Joseph's church. A number of residences
ed and decorated. The church was radi-
ant with flags, ubnting and other decor
ations. In front Of the church, convent
and parochial residence hundreds of pa
per lanterns danced in the breeze
Three Thousand people crowded into the
church to listen to the welcome address
by Henry l. Lord and the response by
Father Dupont. The exercises were nee-
ssarily very brief, owing to the crush.
The guest of the occasion warmly
greeted his pairshioners, assured them
that his long trip in quest of health had
noe been in vain, and cordially expressed
his appreciation of their effort to make
his homecoming SO pleasant
Many of the prominent emmbers of the
parish visited the parochial residence at
the conclusion of the formal church greet
ing.

o Brien. the young preacher, who was SO
bitterly attacked by the local clergy last
simmer, and about whom there has been
much talk, seems to be progressing quite
we'll. His churches, he being pastor OF
two, are not large enough to hold all
who want to hear him, and SO he has
been preaching at the Columbia theatre
on Sunday evenings for some time, but
oven that place has proven too small for
him and a great many people are turned
away at each meeting.
His followers have been talking of
building him church, but he tells the
PRESS correspondent that the plans
have been changed and arrangements are
now trying to be made for the purchase
of the Dig Alameda, built years ago or a
skating rink and used since since the
craze died out, for church fairs and
dances. He says that he is quite conh-
dent that it can be- secured, and believes
that it will hold all who care to hear MIN
speak.
He is now preparing to publish a
monthly religion paper, the nrs5 copy Oh
which is now on the press. 1t Will pc

devoted to local religious work. he mas

Morning..

The election returns received up to
four o'clock this morning, are of such a
nature as to give Republicans cause for
no little rejoicing. The story of the bal
lots is a list of Republican victories all
along the line.
There are some features of the result
that are especially surprising and equally
gratifying.
New Jersey, which has sometimes
elected Republican Legislators, for the
first time in very many years, elects
Republican Governor, and the entire
State ticket by rousing majorities. This
result is very significant and indicates in
no little degree, where New Jersey will
stand in the next electoral college
A still greater victory has been won in
Maryland, where Senator German and
his unprincipled hosts have been utterly
routed, and Maryland adds another State
Of the progressive New South to the
Republican column. This victory en-
sures Republican United States Soma
tor to succeed Senator Gibson.
From Ohio the returns are very meagre
but it is evident that the Republicans
have carried the atate by very biz

majorities, and the complexion
of the legislature will relegate
Senator Calvin S. Brice to private life.
The reelection of Gov. Greenhslge in
Massachusetts, by an increased plurality
is particularly pleasing, after all the
culumny and abuse that has been heaped
upon him. Woman's suffrage is defeated
by decisive majority.
From New York state, the returns are
also very slow in coming. The indica-
tions are that the Republicans have
carried the state by very large
majority. Tammany Hall has been sue
cessful in New York city, result not
unexpected, but the victory is barren
one.
In Iowa, the state is Republican by
handsome majorities, as is the case il
Pennsylvania.
In Kentucky, the home of Secretary
Carlisle, the State is claimed by boti
parties, but the chances are that the Re
publican candidate for Governor is elect
cd.
All in all, it was great day for the
party of Progression, Protection ant
Patriotism.

A BOLD ATTEMPT
To Wreck the Boston & Maine Bridge
at Bradford.
A STICK OF DYNAMITE WAS PLACED
ON THE TRACK.


by Pedestrian-A Large Stick of Dy-
Mantle With Fuse Attached-The
Fuse Had Evidently Been Lighted-A
Narrow Escape.
Haverhill, Mass, November 5-What
was probably an attempt to wreck
tran or damage the big Boston & Maine
railroad bridge between here and Brad
ford was discovered this morning at 6. 80
by pedestirn coming over the foot walk
of the bridge
A large stick of dynamite with fuse
attached was found between the grooves
of one of the inward tracks and the guard
rail The fuse had been lighted and it is
beliyed that heavy fog from the river
which prevailed last night, extinguished
the light. The bridge is a mammoth
iron structure and stands 80 feet above
the river. No clue has been obtained
regarding the perpetrators and whether
it was an attempt to blow up a train or
the bridge is only conjectured.
The police and railroad officials are
making rigid examination.

And Arthur Puc German Probably Hears
Its Echo-It Was Wild Day in
Baltimore-The Result Means Repub-
lican U. S. Senator to Succeed Gibson.
Baltimore. November 5-The heaviest
vote ever cast in Baltimore was polled to-
day. 1t was the most exciting day Balti-
more has known since the war. Violence
and disorder were frequent features
throughout. The police commissioners
and Police Marshal Grey. in one particu-
lar instance, admitted their helplessness.
and encouraged al appeal, subsequently
made, to Henry Williams, the Democratic
candidate for mayor, to interfere in favor
of suppessing the disturbances. Mr..
Williams readily responded by saying he
would not accept office If he was elected
by fraud, and he at once set out to IN.
fuence Mr.. Hurst, the guberua at0rial
candidate in the same direction, and their
combined efforts had statutory effect.
The disturbances called forth protest
against the slip-shod metods of the police
department., Hon. George L. Wellington,
chairman OF the Republican state central
committee calling the attention OF
Marshal Frey to the police dereliction.
Mr.. Wellington, in a letter to Marshal
Frey, said: sIf you do not perform your
duty, will make 1t known to the people
of this city and state and put you in the
pillory of public opinion for having
assisted the criminal element in prevent
ing fair election"
Notwithstanding the stringent orders
of Marshal Frey, most of the saloons of
the city were wide open and great deal
of drunkenness characterized the day.
Several arrests were made and an
occasional shot was fred. The ballot
boxes were smashed and the registration
books were torn to bits. The day
closed without political death record.
Four election districts of Baltimore
city gives Lowndes, (Rep. forEgovernor,
7S0: Hurst, (Dem.) 512, net Republican
gain of 101.
Indications point to q complete Repub-
lican victory in Maryland.
Lloyd Lowndes is elected governor and
the balance of the Republican state ticket
has an apparent majority of over 10, 0OO.
The legislature will be Republican on
joint ballot, ensuing a Republican to the
United States Senate. Baltimore city re.
turns indicate a complete overthrow OF
