In vain MIR. Parker manoeuvered for
time. The convention was ready to act.
1t developed that this division of opin-
| ion was due to quito a rivalry between
Rev. S. 4. Pearson and Mr.. Parker him

Mr.. Pearson protested that his health
was not such as to permit him to enter
the race.
S. W. Smith, Kenneth Mcdonald and
S. A. Skillings were appointed to take
the. ballot. The result was very close:

After the announcement of the vote
MIR. Pearson thanked the convention
but said the burden belonged to Brother
Parker. His health was such that he
could not, in Justice to his work and his
family, accept
But Brother Parker repulsed the
honor.
Then Brother Pearson said Brother
Parker should come up like little man
and take the load. A great career would
be before him as sheri f. In thirty days
he could shut up every rumshop in Port
land.
Mr.. e. r. Burrowes seconded this;
and Mr.. Pearson put the question amid
loud but warm protestauions from Broth
or Parker. The convention were almost
unanimous that Brother Parker should
take the office; and finally it was forced
upon him.
The ticket was then completed as fol

AARON CLARK NAMED.
Eighteen Delegates Constitute First Dis
trict Prohibition Convention.

The first district Prohibition conven-
ton, which met in City Hall yesterday
afternoon, was not o large gathering.
About 20 delegates were present.
| After much difficulty and several dec
| linations the office of chairman finally
| lighted upon MIR. John Hubbard of Wells,
| fine appearing but very modest man.
Uncle jos Holden was present and dis,
tributed some Of his Union party circu
| lars. He explained that he did not wish
| to antIgonize the Prohibitionists, but
| thought the opportunity good for his cir
eulars.
| The committee Oh credentials reported
is delegates present.
| Mr.. d. p. Parker Of Portland, secreta-
~ of the meeting suggested the nomina
| ton of candid ate for Congress. H.
| said the matter had been talked over and
the Cumberland brethren were OF the
opinion that York county should furnish
the candidate this year.
Chairman Hubbard suggested Arthur
III. Hussey of North Berwick as candi
date for Congress; but Mr.. Hussey, a
young good looking imam, promptly de-
clined the honor.
Secretary Parker then nominated Hon.
Aaron Clark of Buxton. Mr.. Clark did
not decline and ne was unanimously
nominated.
Mr.. CLARK was then called upon for a
speech lie said that If he had known
that such thing was going to happen
he would not have come in from Buxton.
His health Was poor and he could not
make very active campaign, although
he delighted in temperance work. He
was very sorry that tn had thrust the
honor upon him.
Then Mr.. Clark turned TO the chairman
and said: Now, Mr.. Chairman, what
shall do, decline or accept?'
While the chairman was bordering a
reply young man arose and said he
thought all active man was needed for the
campaign.
Secretary PARKER said that Of course an
active young man would be needed to
clean out the saloons of Washin gton, hut
yet Mr.. Aaron Clark, although feeble,
could do moro toward it than is being
done by the men there now.
Chairman Hubbard thought Mr. Clark
was nominatd and should accept. The
duties of the office would not be arduous
So it WAS settled that Mr.. Clark should
accept.
The following district comm ittee was
chosen: Arthur M Hussey of North Per-
wick; Aaron Clark of Buxton, D. P.
Parker of Portland, Charles A. Nichols
of South Windham and Edward T, Bur-
rowes of Portland.
After the business YVES concluded short
speeches were made by Messrs. Parker,
Hubbard, Simeon A. Skillings and R. F.
Sklllings. Tho later said the way to do
was to prohibit ourselves" in that way
the party would grow.

GOLD DE MoCRATS S.
Those in This Region Are Happy over
Their MISUNDERSTANDING Mr.. Frank.

The gold Democrats hereahouts were
hugging themselves with delight yes
terday over their victory in the State
convention. They realized that they had
had a narrow escape. The good organ
ization made in Cumberland county by
the feaeral office holders, which Is to
say the Portland custom house and pos t.
otfice-was what saved the day for gold.
The sentiment for silver was surprising
ly strong, and if Penobscot and other
eastern counties had been in full attend
anoe the silver plank would probably have
been carried. TheEstand taken by Hon.
M. T. Frank was general surprise, al
though 1t had been known to many. He
mad wanted to be district delegate to the
Chicago convention; but was frankly
told that he could not go because he was
not sound for the gold standard.
1t is said that Colonel A. w. Bradbury,
who replied to Hanson Of Belfast, and is
credited with having been the leader of
the gold forces, was not delegate to the
convention. He was on the floor as
spectator, and being carried away by the
spirit OF the occasion plunged into the
fray. No one noticed his lack of creden-
LiulS.

MRS. soUTHWoRTH's DEATH.
Coroner Perry Deems an Inquest Unnec-
essary.


Coroner Ehen N. Perry has returned
from Casco and Edes Fa lis, where he
went to investigate the circumstances
attending the death of Mrs. Harriet }.
ISouthworth, of Edes Falls. The physi-
clans showed him the record of the au-
topsy, OF which the principal portions
nre as follows: The external appearance
OF the body was normal The heart was
| normal in size and posit ion, and the
valves were normal; Tut the tissue or
muscle of the heart was soft and showed
some signs of fatty degeneration The
aorta and all the other blood vessels were
found normal throughout their course.
The lungs We're normal, except hypostatic
congestion at the back. The stomach
was somewhat dilated and the mucous
membrane lining the stomach was ONE
what inflamed, giving 1t a notified APP
the cardiac end. Also the lower part of
the oesophagus presented the same ap-
pearanoe. The stomach contained about
pint of fluid, and there was bloudy
mucous on the surface. The duodenum
was somewhat inflamed in the upper
part, gradually fading out as it left the
pyl9rus. The remainder of the intestiues
Wero normal.
Having examined this record, and hav-
Ing consulted with the doctors who made
the autopsy, and other medical experts,
Coroner Perry came to the conclusion
that there were no evidences of violence.
He therefore decided an inquest unneces-
sary.
1t seems quite probable that the death
was caused by acute Indigestion an d
heart trouble. During her sickness there
were none of the spasms, or burning SEN
sations in the stomach, which would ao-
company arsenic poisoning. It is thought
that this is the only poison which would
both be accessible in such case and be
taken without betraying its presence un-
equivOcally.

able small craft took advantage of the

island exodus may low BIO said to have
started in earnest.
There were q large number Of "jolly

along shore had hardly enough to do to
make it interesting.
The small fishermen who arrived yes
tsrday brought in 10, 600 cod and paddock
and 5000 lbs. of mackerel.

CROATIA LlBELLED.
Over Ten Thousand Dollars Asked for
Sinking of the Maud Il. Wethereu.

Benjamin Thompson, ESQ.,, in behalf
of the owners of the Portland schooner
Maud B. Wetherell has Ebelled in Bos-
ton the German steamship Croatia,
which run dow and sunk the Wetherell
on June TO- about ~ miles off the coast
Of Nova Scotia. The libel Was served
several days ago, and the testim ony of
the officers and Grew of the Croatia have
now been taken. The trend of this tes-
timony is to the effect that only one blast
of the Wetherell's fog horn was heard,
leading the Croatia's people to think the
schooner was on another tack. But it is
evident that the steamer WAS going at q
high Fate of speed. The libel was served
In behalf of William A. Webb, of South
Portland, who represents also Joseph W.
Shepard, W. 7. Studley, 81. M. Sargent,
Grin L. Lord. e. J. Skillin, J. F.
Chute. Chas. A. Dunlap, J. Littlajohn,
VIM. Howe, j. T. Hughey and j. W.
Trefethen, the other owners; and also in
behalf of Capt Mckay, of SWANS Island
and the crew, among whom are John
Howard, Cyrus DeCosta, Joseph An
thony and John johnson, of Portland.
The libel alleges that the Wetherell
had on board at the time of the collision
9s6 barrels of mackerel, which she was
proceeding to deliver in Portland. The
Croatia suddenly appeared out of the fog
and out the Wetherell down. the crew
rarely escaping with their lives before
the schooner sank.
The damages claimed are as follows
Value of vessel and outfit. $500; the
lnackeroi On board, $3.50; personal effects
Of the crew, s2G01; in all $40, $50.

Portland Signal Corps.

The Boston Journal thus speaks of the
Portland Signal Corps in the procession
in that city on Bunker Hill day: "The
boys fir ON Maine, about twenty in mum
Der, attracted much attention. They were
uniformed unlike the Massachusetts Sig
nal Corps in one particular. and that was
in the helmet. Those great black horse
hair plumes gave the Dirigo State Sigma
Corps decidedly fierce appearance. They
carried carbines too in place of furlet
signal flags as our men did. Otherwise
the appearance of the two corps was
much the same."
