of Maine assembled this morning IN the

pressed purpose 10 honor for the 10th

1t was estimated that there was at least
1000 people present in the hail at 10
O'Clock when the chairman OF the dis
trict committee, Mr. Emery &. Brewer of
Freeport, eailed.the convention to order.
Wilford G.. Chapman was introduced as
the temporary chairman of the conven-
tion, and In taking the chair, referred 10
the great interest with which the pro-
ceedings Of this convention were being
watched all over The country, and he ex-
pressed regret that Mr. Reed was not the
presidential candidate OF his party.
"But," said he, "we are broad enough
TO put aside feelings Of disappointment,
and realizing the necessity OF having
able men in the House of Representa-
tives. Mr.. Reeds friends honor them
selves by returning to that body a man
who has won hon or and fame as the rep
resentative of this district"
The report of the committee on cre-
dentials showed 259 delegates present out
of 279. Samuel w. JapKins of York was
elected as secretary, and disappointment
of committees followed.
j. L. Davidson from York county
then nominated Mr.. Reed. He SAID the
Republicans OF the first district knew
enough to keep good thing when they
got it and they propose to nominate
Thomas B. Reed. (great cneering) big,
live, beardless giant who takes first rank
among the Republicans of the National
House. Every mention of Mr.. Reeds
name by Mr., Davidson was greeted with
loud applause.
Il. G. 2eynold, of Portland on behalf of
Cunt erland county seconded Mr.. Reeds
nominat in a brief address during
which he was continually interrupted by
applause. He closed by moving that the
pomiation be made by acclamation and a

nous and in response TO loud calls for
Mr.. Reed committee was appointed to

fore the convention.
M. Reed was found and escorted to the
platform amid loud cheering. He seemed
to be considerably affected by the ova-
tion. Mr.. Reed thanked the convention
for the unanimous nomination saying
that by so doipg he had been relieved of
the duty of attending this district and
given the oportunity of paying attention
to the wickedness OF the rest of the
world.

chises from the city through, IL was al
legged, wholesale bribery of councilmen OF
both branches, was the star witness.
Gale was myseeriously absent during
the investigation of the bribery charges
by committee Of councilmen about
two years ago, and his appearance yes
terday caused n furry in the hearing
room. He gave his testimony in an easy,
natural manner.
Mr. Gale said that he bad been given n
10000 share certificate OF the stock, with
Instructions to divide il into rs certifi-
Gates Of six shares each, % certificates OF
20 shares each, four certificates of 500

names of Dave Martin, the political
leader or this city, and State Senator

The two 500-share certificates were
afterward divided i'm 30 lots, OF 20 shares
each. The witness said he took these
certificates to the Republican city COM

witness, that Gale would have to en-
dorse the certificates. The witness
testified that he went over 20 the office

turned to the Republican city commit

HOW DID HE DO IT?
Marks Was In Custody When C0Ogan
Gems Were Stolen.
Had Been Arrested Here and Was Turned
Over TO Pier Police.

There was considerable excitement at
Narragansett Pier last evening when 1t
was announced that a young man named
Herbert Marks had been arrested on sus-
picion OF being the person who stole the
Coogan diamonds on Thursday, July 23.
This can hardly be true, for on Monday
of tnat week the young man was arrested
on South Main street by Pstrolman
Nahum Willard for making an effort TO
dispose of a bicycle to a second hand
dealer. He was locked up at the Central
police station. Detective Parker learned
that the machine was taken
from Narragansett Pier and notified the
officers at that place. On Tuesday officer
Champin came fsom the pier and re-
turned with Marks, and he was held
until the latter part of the week, while
Deputy Sheriff j. X. Wilcox was investi-
eating the case. 1t would appear, there
fore, that II Marks stole the diamonds no
must have done so while in the custody
OF the deputy sheriff. II is also stated
that Marks was guest at the Mathew
son, but the register at the Mctatoxet
shows that Marks came from the far
West about week before, and was at
the time in hard luck. Marks says that
he has nearly fortune in diamonds
buried at Newport, and he, with the
officers from the pier will make visit to
that. city today, and he will expose the
hiding place. Few people place any
faith in the strange story, but believe
that Marks is seeking cheap notoriety.

A MILL DESTROYED.
Destructive Blaze at Sandersville,
Near Scituate.
Entire Shoe and Corset Laclng Plant
Burned In a Short Time.

The Beckworth Mil at Sandersville
caught fire yesterday afternoon about 8
o'clock and was totally destroyed.
Sparks from the chimney are supposed TO
have ignitcd the root and the flames
spread rapidly. Tho force pump In the
mill was set to work, and several streams
OF water were thrown upon the burning
building, with but little or no effect.
The hand engine from North Scituate,
which is one mile distant, was called
and rendered valuable service In saving
adjoining houses. The building was a
2 1-2-story wooden structure and has been
used for the manufacturing OF shoe aud
corset strings. II hes been running In
full for the past year, while all other
mills in and about Scituato have been
closed or running short time.
During the fire 1t looked rs II the VIII
lsge was doomed. The flames reached
one house and before they could be ex-
tinguished II was completely gutted.

THE ALLIGATOR.
Crescent Park Reptile
Captured Today.
It Was Safe in the Tent at
10 O'clock.
The Hunters Had a Lively Time
Securing the Runaway.

MIR. Boyden has gone the other shore
resorts one better by providing a genuine
(s gator hunt" for his patrons at Cres-
rent Park. Shooting the cbutes and
clam bakes are all right in their way, but
their way is an awfully dull one when
compare1 with the hair raising and ex-
citing sport OF hunting alligators In
upper Narragansett bay. This sport OF
sports did not originate In Mr.. Boyden's
office, however. 1t simply happened.
Sometime between IL o'clock on Tues
day night and z o'clock Wednesday
morning the two aiiigators composing
the principal attraction OF the animal
show being conducted by manager
Fred Wueierman were myster-
ously liberated ana maue
their escape from.the tent down to the
shore. whereuron a hue and cry was
Immediately set up when the mischief
was discovered, and all sorts and condi-
tions of nimrods joined in the chase
Late In the afternoon, Mrs. Alligator was
discovered on the shore near the bicycle
checking stand, where she was pounced
upon and carried back in triumph by
the successful hunters. She was frail
creature, only weighing 413 pounds, and
measuring from tip TO tip but 10 feet.
Besides this, she possessed the gentle
and refined ways of femininity, 80, of
course. no one felt especially like giving
vent 10 an exuberant shout and clappIng
of heels over the victory. But with
Mr.. Alligator it was somewhat
different. This Drawny specimen of
the American crocodile measured Ii feet,
six inches, and when in lighting trim
tipped the scales at 50i pounds. Yester-
Gay he was in the pink OF condition, so
10 speak, and when an attempt was made
to land him with ropes and various other
implements of warfare he arose in all
the mig hit and glory of his manhood and
gave his tormentors the shake. it was
decidedly aggravating, but there was no
help for it, so the hunt was postponed
until this morning.

In the dim light OF the dawning day
three men in Loaf, saying pothing OF
the ropes, paddled. silently from the dark
shadows OF the floating theater into the
stream. 1bey were Manager Wueierman
and two assistants. Slowly they pulled
toward the open water, scanning the
shores in n vain attempt TO discover the
truant alligator, then as slowly they
turned round and rs closely scanned the
shores again as they padded back. This
incessant vigil was kept up in vain.
Gradually as the day progressed another,
then another, and finally a third boat
Joined the first, and in company the
feet moved up the stream.
When the bridge had been passed an
exciting whisper from the first boat was
heard and of the port bow an object
bearing a striking resem rlance to an alli-
gator skin travelling nag was distinctly
seen. II was the missing one from home.
Quickly the fiotilla got under way and
bore down on the reptile while every
heart beat pit-a-pat with suppressed ex
citement. At last when shallow water
was reached halt wa called and a
hasty consultation hsld which resulted in
one of the boats being dispatched for a
fishing seine.
Eventually the procession started again
ana warily the alligator was approached.
Never a move, never a stir did he make
as the. boats pulled along side, not until
tho.net was carefully thrown over MIN
did he TACK water aud likewise sneak out
OF the trap. He had played possum, as
everyone sadly realized. Once again the
chase was taken up, and this time after
much bother and trouble the seine was
cast. There was no backing out Of il,
but to make assurance doubly sure George
X. Thompson, fisherman OF Drown
vile, jumped into the water and pulled
and hauled at the net until the reptile
was thoroughly covered with it.
Just at 10 o'clock the work was complet-
ed. Mr.. Alligator had been recaptured
and amid the shouting and cheering OF
the crowd on the shore and bridge the
party started bomeward with the still
angry ard indignant native OF the Flor
Ida Iagoons towing behind. When the
shore was reached a large rope was fit
ted about his body and willing hands
pulled at the other end ill the steep em-
tankment had been made and the tent
..eached.
