But About $75, 900 Worth Remains
Transformed Into Paper at the Rate of
SO Cords a Day.
One of the sights of Maine that woul d
inspire very great interest in any stran-
ger, and would excite our own wonder IL
W % were not SO familiar with it, is the
vast pile of poplar logs that feeds the
biggest mills in the world, the Warren
Mills of Westbrook.
Maine is a famous State for woodpiles
Probably no other tract of land of similar
area in tho whole world has had so much
wood cut and piled upon 1t as the Pine
Tree State.
There may have been bigger piles of
pine and spr uoe logs hauled up for the
winter on the banks OF the Kennebec.
But nowhere In the, whole world was
there ever such big pile Of poplar logs
as is located on the bank OF the Presump-
scot just above the Warren Mills.
Special attention has been recently
called to this pile by the freshet. The
raging waters had fine sport, raisi ng
havoc with this woodpile. They rose in
their might, and seized from 1000 to
1900 cords of those short, pooled logs and
hurled them against the great brick
mills and scattered them along the valley
OF the Presumpcsol, and strewed them
upon the shores of Casco Bay.
These logs are worth 81 Il cord. There
fore from $4,000 to $4,000 worth have been
lost. The Company has offered So a cord
to whoever collects md brings them
back, but thus far nobody has accepted
the offer. The pile that remains con-
tains between 1900 and 1900 cords. 1t
extends ever three or four square acres
and most of 1t is from 20 to 30 foet high.
Various branching tracks OF the COM
paDy's narrow gauge railroad xtend
through and around this vast woodpile,
and in places are laid on high trestles
in order to reach the top.
You would think by the appearances nf
the logs (for peeled poplar gets an ancient
aspect very quiokly) and the size of the
pile that it was the accumulation of
hauled there during the past year.
Tho mills eat up from 40 to so cords |
day. Allowing 300 days in year that
the mill is at work and there is total
of from IL, COO to 10, 600 cords q year, con-
verified into paper.
AT 81 a cord the value OF this huge
woodpile is from s72, 600 to SIG, 600. This
poplar wood comes from all over Maine
on all the railroads. Only small pro-
portion of it now comes down the Pre-
although in the spring the
surface Of the river is sometimes entirely
covered for a half mile, between Cumber-
land Mills and Saccarappa. But that
wood isn't piled up. 1t is taken right
from the ri yer into the rapacious NAV
Of the mill.
About or men are constantly at
work on this woodpile, feeding it out to
the mill ON one side, and replenish ing
it from the cars on the other.

Democratic National ticket and the
close of the National Convention to-
day. The programme for the day in
cludes the nominating speeches and
the balloting for Vice. President, the
naming of committees of notification
on President and Vice President. the
assembling of the National Committee
and, probably, tho election of chair
man of the National Committee to con-
duct the campaign.
The exodus from the city has already
begun and the normal quiet of hotel
corridors and other political centres is
gradually being restored. The regular
trains last night and to-day were
crowded to their utmost capacity and
most Of the special trains, which had
brought marching clubs with their
bands and shouters, have gone. Early
this morning the work of taking down
the huge portraits, the Autographs
and banners bearing the portraits of
Bland, Boies, Matthews and others
who figured in the race. began and
with those went the flags and bunting
which have added 30 much color TO the
scene. There was noticeable falling
off in the throngs moving towards the
convention hall early in the day, for
the great dramatic incident had passed.

Killed on the Track.

A man named Michael Brennan was
killed on the New England railroad
track, a short distance esst OF the Nara
gansett Brewery In Arlington. at S:55
last evening by the incoming Willimantic
train.
Michael Hurry, the engineer saw the
man lying beside the outer rail with his
head nearly touching the rail. The
distance wes too short to bring the en-
gine TO q standstill, but he did oil that
could be done which was TO blow tho
whistle and reverse the engine. but be-
fore stopping, the engine and most of the
train had passed the spot where the un-
fortunate man was. The trainmen went
back and found that the cow catcher
had struck the man over the right eye and
that he was dead. The remains were
brought to the station and the police
and Medical Examiner Palmer were noti-
fed.
DIR. Palmer found that the skull had
been crushed and that death must have
been instantaneous.
Brennan was at one time employed at
the Narragansett Brewing Company.

A FAMILIAR FIGURE GONE.
Dcalh Of the Well Known Expressman
Caleb S. Mann.

One OF the most familiar figures in
Providence streets, that OF Caleb $. Mann,
the teemSter, was removed by death at
midnight yesterday az his home, corner
of Westminster and Spring streets. Mr..
Mann, who was about SO years old, was
bern in Gloceste X. j., and shortly
afierward Iemoyed to New York State,
from whence he came to Providence
about 10 years ago, and set up in the sx-
press business. For yesrs the name OF
Caleb Mann, now L. 5. Mann & Sons, at
81 Fine treet pas been familiar to
Rhode Island business men. For a long
time, or ever since returning from Calf
fornia six years ago, Mr.. Mann has been
suffering more or less. from blindness as
well ns foot trouble, which caused him
to practically retire from the business
which has made a fortune for him.
bis last illness confined him TO his he'd
for nearly three weeks, diabetes superin-
ducing Bright's disease being the cause
OF his demise.

THE LAST DAY.
Continued from page I.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION-For the
protection OF the equality OF our Amers-
can citizenship, and of the wages..of our
workingmen against the fatal competition
OF low. priced labor, we demand that the
immigration law be thoroughly enforced
and SO extended as to cxcinde from
entrance to the United States those who
can neither read nor write.
CIVIL SERVICE-The civil service law
was placed on the statute book by the
Repu blican party, which has always
sustained IL, and We renew our repeated
declarations that IL shall be thoroughly
and honestly enforced and extended
wherever practicable.
FREE PALLOT-We demand that
every citizen of the United States shall
be allowed TO cast one free and unre-
strained ballot and that such ballot shall
be counted and returned as cast.
LYNCHINGs-we proclaim our unqual-
flied condemnation OF the uncivilized and
ing, or killing Of human beings suspect
ed or charged with crime without process
OF law.
NATIONAL ARBITRATION-wef favor
the creation OF q rational board OF arbi-
tration to settle and adjust differences
which may rise between employers and
employees engaged In interstate commerce.
HOMESTEADS-We believe In an I'M
mediate return tc the free homestead
policy OF the Republican party, and urge
the passage by Congress OF the satisfac-
tory free homestead measure which has
already passed the House, and Is now
pending In the Senate.
TERRITORIES-We favor the admission
of the remaining territories at the earliest
practica BILE date, having due regard to the
interests OF the people OF the territories
and the United States. =
All the federal officers appointed for the
territories should be elected from bona
fide residents thereof, and the right OF
self-government should lie accorded, as
far as practicable.
TEMPERANCE We sympathIze with
all wise and Legitimate efforts to les
sen and prevent the evils OF intemperance
and promote morality.
RIGHTS OF wOMEN-The Repu blican
party is mindful OF the rights and inter-
ests OF women. Protection of American in
dustries includes equal opportunities,
equal pay for equal work, and protection
to the home.
We favor the admission of women to
wider spheres OF usefulness and welcome
their cooperation in rescuing the
country from Democratic and Populistic
mismanagement and rule.
Such are the principles and policies of
the Republican party. BY these princ-
plies we will abide and these policies We
will put into execution. We ask for them
the considerate judgement OF tho Ameri-
can people. Confident alike in tle his
tory of our great party and in the justice
OF our cause we present our platform and
our candidates in the full assurance that
the election will bring victory to the Re-
publican party and prosperity TO the peo-
pie of the United States.
