BOUNCED THE ENG INEER.
Bangor Water Board Takes Summary Ac-
tion-The Engin eer Had Accused the
Mayor of Tampering With Bids.

Bangor, July %. The action of the
water board this afternoon In dismissing
summarily Engineer Bolton, in charge
OF the water works, has given sensa-
tionaI aspect to the matter which has exc
cited much discussion since the opening
Oh the 10th, of bids for the important
work In connection with the extension
Of the city water works.
At that time the bids Of three parties
were read by the Mayor, that of Bearce
& Clifford being accepted AS considerably
lower than the others. Engineer Bolton
who was present, stated to a menbersof
the board his belief that he had seen the
Mayor insert figures with pencil on the
paper of BeRrce s. Clifford, thu figures
in that bid proving on examination Ito
be in pencil. The Mayor stated that he
had made the figures in that paper at the
hotel the evening before at the request
of, and during q consultation with Mr.
Clifford, one of the contractors. AT a
meeting of the board this afternoon the
Mayor presented specific charges against
Engineer Bolton of disrespeet of having
accused the Mayor Of tampering with a
bid for work to be done for the city.
MIR. Bolton, who was present, reiterat-
ed his statement that he saw the Mayor
making the figures as he had stated at
the time to member of the board and
positively declined to retraot or modify
that declaration or to voluntarily resign
his position.
motion was then made that he lie
discharged from the service of the city
which was carried without discussion.

The convention has taken recess till 8

p. m.
The vote in the Populist committee on
permanent organization on the election
of chairman resultedi Allen of Me-
braska. 25; Butler, 8; Oampion, H. The
motion to make Aliens nomination
unanimous WAS opposed.
The hiassaoh usctts delegation have de-
cided TO present the name Of &. Gerry
Brown as favorite candidate for Vice
President.
The middle Of the road people claim to
have made many aocessions to their
nomination of Bryan. There is some
talk of running lGnatlus Donnelly as a
straight Populist candidate.
The revised vote cast in the committee
this afternoon for permanent chairman
of the Populist convention, was: Allen
of Nebraska. go; Campion of Maine, IA;
Butler of North Carolina s. The com
mittee elected as permanent secretaries
j. W. Hayes of Pennsylvania, VIM. Hess
of Illinois. j. K. Burnett of California,
Leo Vincent of Oklahoma, w. j..
Brown of Kansas, was elected reading
clerk. Permission to make a minority
report against Senator Aliens election
and In favor of Senator Butler of North
Carolina, was given. Mr.. Weller of Iowa,
and Dornblazer of Texas. For some
reason no official transcript of the pro-
ceedings was made, and il is impossible,
on This account to give the exact vote by
states for the several candidates for per-
manent chairman. Enough is known to
warrant the statement that the Southern
States generally supported Mr.. Campion
and Senator Butler. Aliens vote came
almost wholly from the Eastern and
Western States who who are advocating
the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan.
The middle of the road men held
caucus during the recess and unanimous
ly decided to ask North Carolina to with
draw Senator Butler, as candidate for
permanent chairman, and to unite upon
Campion. The roll of states is to be
called Campion against Allen, the COM
mittee's choice for chairman, and test
vote of the Bryan and anti Bryan
strength will thus be had. This platform
belongs to the silver party.

We are not to blame for. We cannot be
held responsible for the dispositions and
tendencies which we derive from our an
cestors, nor are we responsible for the
germs of disease which may manifest
themselves in our blood as a heritage
from former generations. But we are
responsible if we allow these germs to
develop into serious diseases which will
impair our usefulness and destroy our
happiness We are responsible if we
transmit to our descendants the disease
germs which it is possible for us to Grad
icate by the use of Hoods Sarsaparilla,
