Uncle Thomps' Sad Vail, Good
Bye, Republicans, Goodbye"

The Republicans of the Tenth Con-
gressional District met at Beattyville
Wednesday, and their convention
soon developed into regular "cat and
parrot time" The fight was against
Langley from the start. Parson Hop
kins and Seitz, of Morgan had deter
mined to beat Langley, but he proved
too much for them. The fight from
start to finish was hot one and all
sorts of tricks and lodges were in
dulgad in by either side to gain its
end. Attempts were made to STAN
pede the convention to outside candi-
Observation-Disclosures were INDUCED in
etc., etc.
OF course the Montgomery county
delegation was very much in evidence
during the progress of the convention.
They had a high old time among
themselves. Uncle Thomps Oldham
was made Chairman of the Montgom-
cry delegation, and because he could
not be allowed by the Chairman
of the District Convention to
explain the very inexplicable vote
that the delegation had ordered him
to cast, he refused to vote the county
at all, and left his place with the pa
thetic wall, "Good-bye, Republicans,
good-bye!" The delegation then
elected Judge Ed. G. OreYr as Chair
man, echoing the old mans wall with
the taunt, goodbye, my honey, good
bye" After the long fight had near
ly exhausted everybody, Langley
played a card that won. He propos-
ed that both he and Parson Hopkins
should get out of the way in the inter-
est of harmony" and thus give Scitz
the nomination. Parson Hopkins
fell into Langley's trap and bluntly re-
fused. Seitz then threw what of his
strength he could control to Langley
and elected him.
That the Republicans have named
the man easiest for the Democrats to
beat is almost certain. Mr.. Langley's
record, unless he has been most fear
fully lied on, is about as heavy load
as any party can expect to carry. if
one-halt that is said against Langley
be true, no self-respecting man, who
is acquainted with his past, can vote
for him.

Sterling, and talked as near to
death as could be done during their
short stay. Gen. Shelby and Ma

and Gen. John S. (Cerro Gordo)

The PRESS yesterday morning an
nouoed the death of John D. Lord at
Baltimore on Fast Day. MIR. Lord WAS
one of. Portland's best known merchants
during the sixties. He was born in
Steep Falls, where mis- brother Hon.
Tobias Lord, resides. After the usual
aoademioal education Mr.. Lord became a
clerk in the house of the late Almon
Hobson, and afterwards went into bust
ness on his own account at the head of
Union wharf. He was for years one of
Portland's most successful West India
merchants. About twenty years ago he
removed to Baltimore and formed a
partnership with the late Mr.. Hight
under the firm name of Lord and Hight.
The firm was very successful in the same
line Of business in which Mr. Lord had
been engaged In Portland. After Mr..
Nights death Mr.. Lord continued the
business until he was afflicted seven or
eight years ago with stroke of paralysis.
He leaves a widow and two sons. one a

Bitten By a Rat,

Captain Pierson of the schooner Chap
parel, and his father, had hard fight
with rat Thursday morning. He dis
covered the rat in his cabin and tried to
kill it with club. Failing in that he
called to his father, and Mr.. Pierson
arrived with stick, went to his assis-
tance and both father and son tried to
kin Mr.. Rat but it proved hard job.
He struck at the rat, drove 1t under the
stovs and then the captain had an inning
but the rat made spring and fastened
on to the captains wrist, biting savage
ly. Before Capt. Pierson could help him
self he was badly bitten. Then the rat
escaped and reached the wharf. The oap-
tain suffered badly through the night and
when the schooner cleared for Port
Clyde yesterday his arm was still swol-
len and helpless. .s--

schooners and Barges To Be Towed the
Entire Distance south-The Ice Bust
ness Booming.
The demand for ice has suddenly be-
come great enough to boom the Maine ice
business An advance in price was re-
GENTLY made, and was followed by all ad
vance In freights. The dealers in New
York and the South held off until they
suddenly found that there was no ice in
the market. and pressing orders were
sent to Maine for cargoes.
AS an Indication of the demand for ice
a single case may be cited. The schooner
Sarah and Ellen left here yesterday with
full cargo of ice. She is in tow Of the
tug Triton, and will be taken to Norfolk,
Va, where she will be discharged. The
great extra expense was not allowed to
stand in the way.
Barges have been chartered, and will
ne towed to New York and Southern
ports. The sudden demand for Maine ice
will be good thing for the tugs, and
many Of the largest have been chartered
to take out barges and schooners. The
dealers held off hoping for return to old
prices both for ice and transportation,
and very nearly created an ice famine.
After all the country can't get along
without Maine.

TO COME TO POR TLAND.
Rev. John ODowd, to be Rector of the
New Catholic Church.

1t is semi officially announced that Rt.
Rev. Bishop Healy, of the Catholic do.
ese of Maine, is at Eastport, making the
necessary arrangements for the installing
of new rector. and for the removal OF
Rev. John O'Dowd. for 10 years rector of
the church there, to Portland.
Bishop Healy has asked Father
o Dowd, to become the rector of the new
Catholic church to be built here, and
while unwilling to leave his charge at
Passport, he has accepted the appoint
ment.
Father O'Dowd, will come here under
rather peculiar circumstances. He is to
gather around him the members of his
new parish. and to built reotory, and
church. When the late Very Rev. John
W. Murphy came here he had church
organized for many years, and while he
had the present church to build he had
much to start with, while Father
O'Dowd, must build up. He is young
man, and lit is believed will be fully
equal to the work to which he has been
called.
Father O'Dowd, was bern in Boston AZ
years ago. He graduated from the Bos-
ton Latin school, and was major of the
school battalion. He is regarded as be-
ing one Of the ablest priests in this did,
cese, a great worker, and an eloquent
preacher. His transfer to this important
charge is at once high compliment and
marked promotion, while it will carry
with it much and hard work.
