Says Maine Election Means that People OF
Accept Doctrines of Free Sflver-Ex-
planation of that 1000 Estimate.
Llewellyn Powers of Maine arrived this
morning at the Parker house. As he
| stood in the lobby this noon, he was the
oentre Of an admiring group of politio-
ians and friends who extended congra-
tulations upon the result OF the recent
Maine election. He is ON his way to
New York ON business and will remain
in Boston tomorrow to speak at the din
ner of the Norfolk club, TO be held at
Parker's at 2.
AS to the Maine election, Mr.. Powers
said he could add lutte to what had
already been published upon that fruit
full topic.
"There are the figures" said Mr.. Pow
esr, "and they speak for themselves.
They settle the question Of attitude of
the Maine voters upon the free silver
question. AS to how far they may be
taken has an indication of the feeling
in the national election each man may
judge for himself. To my mind the large
vote in Maine may be attributed to the
fact that the people of that state are not
cranky enough to accept the doctrines
of free silver which Mr. Sewall represents.
ga change in the revenue, due to The
passage of the Wilson bill had a bad
effect upon the industries of Maine.
The people of that state want change,
but nots1n the currency. I do not believe
there were $50 Republicans in Maine
who voted for the free silver candidate,
while it looks as though some IL, 600
Democrats voted for me.
"a good many people have asked me
how 1t was that our estimates of the
plurality were SO much less than the
actual figures AS a matter of fact Mr.
Manley and few of us who were keep
ing close track of the voters of the state
concluded the Republican plurality
would be greatly in excess of that fguro.
Mr. Manley gave out 10000 as certain
plurality, but there was no necessity
for making big claims. That Ia well
enough when result Is in doubt. We
knew Maine was safely Republican in
spite of the big claims Of the opposition.
Mr.. Manley did not include in his
estimates, 10000 voters who were placed
on our list as doubtful. On tho eve
Of the election I told a few of my person.
al friends that / would compromise on
$4,000 plurality. Mr.. Manley's private
estimates were in excess of that figure,
for we felt that most Of the doubtful
vote could be counted upon to vote
against the free silver haresies.
1T was especially gratifying to me to
find my largest gains were made am ong
the farming classes. for l was a farmers
boy myself, and have always mum bsred
among my friends many of the leading
men among the farmers, both Republi-
can and Democrats. The result shows
that the Maine farmer is alive to the i'm
portance of the issue in this election
'HThe claims of the free silver men
were simply preposterous. In my own
county, Aroostook, they claimed / would
be beaten. Before election gave out
for publication that would carry the
county by 1900, but told my friends that
would have $500. As a matter of fact
we carried the county, which is largely
agricultural, BY more than 5000 plurali-

Maria Collins stil1 Missing.

Biddeford, September 25.-The where.
abouts Of Miss Maria Collins, the young
woman who disappeared from her home
last Sunday afternoon, still remain q
mystery, and although the police have

pected. They claim that they have not

: Bath. September 25.-For many years
1t has been rumored that the Kennebee
Steamboat company, whose steamers con.
neot the Kennebec river with Boston,
was to put on propeller boat. but this
rumor has proved false up to date. How
ever, today President James B. Drake Of
the company, authorizes your CORE
spondent to state that his company has
finally decided to at once commence th
construction of the finest equipped and
fastest propeller steamer on the coast,
which shall be ready for service in the
early spring.
She will be 200 feet in length, "a in
width and u in depth. and will have
about 300 spacious state rooms.
The craft will be a propeller boat
heated by steam, lighted by electricity
and have full system Of electric bells.
As yet the contract for her has not been
placed, but 1T will be at once.
The company declines to divulge at
present where she will run, but it is re-
ported that she will connect Booth tay
Harbor with Boston In the summer and
ply between Boston and Bath in the
winter.

WAS NOT RESPON SIBLE.
Lawyer Underwood Tried for As.
sault and Dismissed.

While under the combined influence Of
liquor and malarial fever. John Under
wood. a middle aged lawyer. ran amuck
last night or Seventh street. He entered
Bushs saloon, and finding James Doyle
there takinge a glass OF beer. commanded
him TO set up a drink OF whisky. Doyle
paid no attention to the comma nd, when
the lawyer seized him by his coat collar,
drew razor and flourished IL about
Doyle's neck. The latter broke away and
ran into the street to summon a policeman.
Saloon Keeper Bush in the meantime seized
the razor.
Doyle found Patrolman Cox, who locked
up the frenzied barrister at No. station,
where he gave the fictitious name of John
Raymond.
In Judge Miller's police court this FORE
noon Under wood was charged with assault
ing James Doyle. The prison. stated that
he had been suffering from malarial fever
for over q week and had been drinking
whisky and quinine to excess. He resides
on II street, between Fourth and Fifth
streets northwest.
ut was fortunate thing that Bush took
the weapon from you when he did or
there might have been a tragedy" said
his honor.
As it was shown that Underwood was
irresponsible from sickness and liquor
the case was dismissed.

Almost nothing new was adduced on either

Especially the fare and service would not

as a Sunday morning treat, with baked

there is no ameliorarion OF these things

for it is not the case OF the well-to-do

to the court OF last resort, and with an ad-
verse decision he becomes a convict, how
ever harsh or undeserved that name may
seem. -
In view OF these facts Mr.. Havemeyer
and the other accused will not give up the
fight at this point. While the Chapman
case has been spoken OF as test, there
is every reason to believe that every inch
OF the ground will be stoutly contested in
