Mr.. e. W. Dill of Stroudwater has a
curiosity in the way of green peas. Mr..
Dill bought the peas early in the spring
and when he got ready to plant them
turned them all into two quart meas
ure. The peas were planted in two long
rows side by side and are now over foot
in height. aThe curious part of it is that
there seems to be two different varieties,
for while the vines of one row are stout
and leavy the vines in the other row ere
slender and almost trailing and there is
vast difference in the leaves of tho two
rows.
The peas were all poured into the
measure and planted at the same time
and were supposed to be of one variety,
and the question that now puzzles those
who have seen them is how they could
have been planted SO uniformly without
being separated, resembling different
varieties and not have mora than a very
few of one kind get into the other row.
Many people have called to see them but
no one can explain their cause.

PEELED evenings to drive to WestbrooIr In
order to go to Portland. He didn't want
the Rochester TO run train at a loss to
suit him, and his friends, but an electric
car could be run cheap enough to serve
them and pay the bills. Why. because
the Almighty furnishes the motive mower
and all you have to do is to catch it and
set it going.
This closed the testimony for the
petitioners.
JUDGE SYMONDS STATED
that there seemed very little part for him
to take in the hearing. He could not see
that there was single new consideration
presented. It was understood at the time
of the first hearing that local sentiment
was all in favor of the road.
The confusion in the case seemed to
arise from the use of the words public
convenience in the statute. Judge sly
nonds submitted that the wishes of the
people of community did not necessari-
ly represent public convenience In its
larger sense. If it did, there would be no
need of action by the commission. AS
Mr.. Emery had argued, 1t would be a
| matter of municipal control. But when
the state delegated to the commission
| the power to act in these matters, it re-
garded them in larger sense, one that
sh ould take into consideration all exist
ing rights.
Mr.. Libby spoks briefly, maintaining
that the opinion of the people Of the COM
munity WAS entitled to respect as show
ing what constituted public convenience.
Look at it in common sense way. A
trolley car can be run out here In the
evening at less than the cost Of ira In
| or railway, SO that an electric road
could do in the evening what the Port
land and Rochester could not do. And
this emphasizes the fact that there is n O
conflict between the electric and steam
| roads because they do not try to do the
same things and in the same way. To
| refuse this road is equivalent to saying
to the people of Gorham, "You can't
have the same facilities that are granted
to other people similarly situated The
legislature had granted to the commits
sion powers in this matter. greater than
in any other. There could be no appeal
to the courts. Consequently he urged
that the matter should be carefully and
fully consider ed.
The commission reserved their decision

LOGANSPORT Qnd), Oct. 16.-Hon.
Simon p. Sheerin, Secretary of the
Democratic National Committee, and
Cor twenty years Secretary Of the Indi-
ana Executive Committee, squarely
bolts the Bryan and Sewall ticket in a
statement which he gave to the United
Associated Presses to-day. He de-
clared that the action Of the Indiana
Democratic Committee in substituting
five Populist Electors for duly nom
mated Democratic Electors to be 1.-The
most Infamous political proceeding ever
attempted in this State; in violation OF
every Democratic principle and prac-
tice."
He gives reasons for deciding not to
vote for Bryan and Sewall, saying he is
a Democrat, not Populist.. He de-
nounces the fusion deal as "disgusting-
ly immoral and an outrage and a
fraud on the Democracy of Indiana. He
accuses Mr.. Bryan of insulting the
manhood of all American wage earners.

tic squadron of Tompldnsville, will go
to the navy yard in Brooklyn as soon as
orders come from Washington. New
gearings will be put on the turrets in
place Of that which was broken on the
recent trip from Hampton Roads.
The Indiana encountered fierce gale
between here and Hampton Roads last
March and the gearing was found to be
not strong enough for an emergency.
The Department was notified, and new
gearing was provided. This has been
lying In the navy yard for several
months, because the Indiana has been
so busy with drilling that she has not
had time to stop and have it fitted.
reporter saw Captain Evans, COM
mander of the Indiana, aboard his ship.
Captain Evans explained in detail the
trouble the Indiana has just had. He
said: ''Soon after we left Hampton
Roads on Monday all four of the S-inch
turrets broke loose at once from their
gearing. The sea was very rough, and
the great roll of the ship made the
clamps inadequate to stand the strain.
That was about o'clock in the after
noon. We went to work with f1ve-inch
hawsers to tie the guns up. About 2
O'Clock the next morning the forward
guns snapped their hawsers and got
loose again. The storm was then very
severe and the ship was rolling at an
angle Of 36 degrees. The decks were
flooded with water and this, with the
pitching of the ship, made working on
deck very dangerous. 1t was as black
as ink and we could not see how to get
about in order to head the sea. We could
only guess.
To make matters worse, the forward
13-inch gun turret got loose and the
tremendous gun began threshing about
in full command of the deck. The 13-
inch gun knocked great dents in the
scupper pipe, broke stanchions and
threatened to tear away the entire
superstructure. 1t was very dangerous
to work in that storm. / was afraid of
losing two or three dozen men, and if
had not had the best crew in the world
do not know how we would have come
out. We fastened a five-inch hawSer on
the 13-inch gun and it snapped like a
cotton thread. Then we tried five
inch wire cable. The sea took it and
100 fathoms went overheard. Then l
was afraid the cable would foul the pro-
peller so we had to stop everything and
recover it. The ship was then proceed
Ing at about five knots. We got 1T after
while and finally caught the big guns
with an eight-inch hawser and tied them
securely to the superstructure. 1t was
an awful job. though, and we were in
danger of being washed overheard every
minute. All during the work the deck
was completely flooded.
1T was 6 o'clock in the morning when
we got through. The whole crew had
been at work all night. The rest of the
fleet had gone ahead, but it put about
and We regained our position"
1t will take about three weeks. Cap
tain Evans said, to have the new gearing
put in.

THE WORK OF A FIEND.
ATROCIOUS critic COnr1ITTED IN
MISSOURI.
A Man Kills Six People, All But One
Being Members of His
Own Family.

PIEDMONT Mo), Oct. 16-News
has been received here of one of the most
atrocious crimes ever committed in this
part Of the State. John Imboden, q
young man of % years of age, killed his
sister, his brother and an old man who
made his home with the Imbodens.
The Imbodens lived on Logan Creek
in Reynolds County, near the town of
Ellington, which was formerly known
as BarneSville. Young Imboden was a
man of violent nature, and was greatly
feared and disliked in the neighborhood
Last May his wife and his two little
daughters died suddenly. 1t was sus-
pected at the time that they had been
poisoned, but nothing was ever done in
the matter. Since his recent crime it is
believed now that there can be no doubt
that the three were murdered.
On Wednesday afternoon ImbOden
quarreled with his fifteen year-old Sis
ter, and in fit of uncomfortable anger
Drained her with an AK he was using at
the time.
Jacob Wilhelm, an old man living
with the Imbodens, saw the crime COM
mitted and tried to save the girl, but
only shared her fate, for the infuriated
man turned on him and crushed his
head with the weapon he had just used
on the defenseless young girl.
Then, frenzied with his bloody work
young Imboden rushed into the house
seeking more victims. He found his
twenty-year- brother sick in bed,
and without hesitation murdered him.
He struck him in the head with the ak,
and then in fiendish glee hacked his
body into fragments.
He then attacked his two younger
sisters, but the terrified girls fled from
the house. and ran to where their
father was at work in corn field 300
yards away from the house. He at
once spread the news among the neigh
bors and asked for help to secure his
son.
A Constable quickly gathered posse
and started to search for the murderer.
He had made no attempt to escape and
was found in the yard. He refused to
surrender when called on, and it was
only when the Constable had him COW
cred with a revolver and threatened to
shoot that he finally yielded The feel
ing against the murderer is SO intense
that lynching is very probable.
