Is resident of this town and large
lum Der operator, taking contracts of the
largo lumber concerns This winter he
has had camps at Cassegan, down below
the White Mountain, where he employs
many men.
Recently, one night, the choppers and
teansters we're awakened and startled by
the cries and weeping of a woman, who
was asking for her lover, and crying for
Monahan, and the next night they saw
Mary Dunn, or her spirit walking
through the camps She would come near
their beds and having known her in life
they recognized her face and figure. This
was continued until the men left in a
body fearing that something unoanny
would happen to them. They say that
Miss Dunn appears in the room of Mona
han nightly at just the hour of two, and
that he does not sleep alone.
Monahan was sued by the mother of

ty News, and assistant adjutant general
of the department. of Maine, made the
closing speech. He referred to the fact
that it was the first time the two visit
ing posts had met with Bosworth Post,
and said that he united with the other
comrades who had spoken of the value
of the Grand Army Of the Republic, of
an exchange of visits between posts.
Commander Milliken had said that he
expected testimonies and eXhortations
rather than speeches." and SO he was
glad to add his testimony to the value
of fraternal visits, and his exbortarlon
would be to keep alive the fires of loyal
ty.
1t might have been said before, but
an be said now, that substantial sup
per was served by the comrades of Bos-
worth Post, after the arrival of the visit
ing comrades.
The visiting comrades left the hall for
the station at lilo.

NEW YORK'S VOTE.
Certain That Mckinley Will
Have a Large Majority.
Basing on Vote Of Maine, She Will
Give Him 100000.
While on the Vote OF Vermont. Figures Will
Reach 725.OOO.

New York, Sept. 1G. - Chairman
Hackett Of the Republican state com
mittee, called at Republican headquar-
ters, today. When asked how he would
estimate the vote of the state of New
ork on the basis of the returns from
Vermont and Maine. Mr.. Hackett said.
Estimates have been made and the
pear impossible. but / see no reason
why they should not hold good The
same reasons that affect the vote in
Vermont and Maine. affect it in this
state. Following the percentage of the
Republican gain in Vermont, New
York should give a majority of 725, 600.
Using Names vote as a standard, our
state should give $50, 900.
The Democratic mathematicians
may work their brains on these figures
and see if they can discover any ground
upon which the Bryan shouters base
their assertion that New York is un-
certain The fact is New York is SO
certain for Mckinley by so large n
majority, that | do not dare make any
estimate upon it at all. When people
talk about a Republican silver senti-
ment in New York state, they talk
about something that does not exist.
As for the Democratic party, it is
simply amazing to see the old time
leaders either Indifferent or openly
against Bryan, while set of new green
hands run the party machine"
