LEWIS PANIC.
The Life Members VIII Fight to the Last
Ditch to Keep State Fair.

Auburn, August 2s.-A large number
of the local life members of the Maine
State Agricultural society met in caucus
at the rooms of the Auburn Municipal
court tonight for the purpose of consider
ing matters in connection with the COM
ing annual election of officers and the
proposed moving of the state fair to Port
land. About fifty were present when the
meeting was called to order, which was
of an executive nature and lasted about
an hour and half. 1t was the unanimous
opinion of all present that a vigorous
light should be made against any removal
OF the fair from Lewiston and from the
sentiments expressed it was evident that
1t would take a tremendous effort to
wrest the show from Lewiston.
AS to officers for the presidency and
secretaryship, the caucus bound itself by
no candidate although it was agreed that
if possible both positions should be filed
from Androscoggin county.
The most prominent man mentioned
for President was Col. Charles H. Osqood
of Lewiston. In case he declines to stand
Hon. w. D. Pennell or George B. Wean
or B. f. Briggs will be A Androscogoin
county's candidate.

NO RUM AT STATE FAIR.
Lewiston's Sudden Spasm of Prohibitory
Law Enforcement.

Lewiston, August 2S-The liquor war
in this city took on new turn today ,and
constables and sheritfs who are endeavor-
ing to drive the traffic out are getting in
more work than usual. Dozens of war;
rants were served and number of places
caught. The new constables. Odionne
and Crafts, made a sensational seizure at
the place of Michael A, Wards on Lisbon
street, battering down a strong door and
catching the bar tender in the act of
smashing the last bottle of about thirty
bottles of whiskey which he had in the
strong room. Thousands of people wit
messed the seizure and the town is wild
with excitement. A large party of Bos-
ton liquor dealers were in town today
looking into the matter.
All the clubs have countermanded their
heavy orders and the express companies
have telegraphed the Boston officers not
to accept any more liquor packages to
Lewiston. The Boston gentlemen are
still in town and are in consultation to-
night with several prominent members
of the city government to see if some ar
can be made, SO the officers
will let up for the coming state fair week
and allow the dealers to sell liquor.

TO NOMINATE LOW.
The Citizens Union Proposes to Go Right
Ahead,

New York, August 2S.-The Citizens
Union leaders are determined to nominate
Seth Low for mayor of Greater New
York on Wednesday next with or without
the concurrence of the Brooklyn Com
mittee of Fifty. 1t is their intention to
force the issue, regardless of what tho
Republicans and other organizations
may decide to do. Mr.. Low is not to be
consulted as to his wishes in the matter,
and nothing, it appears now, can stop the
carrying out of their purpose except an
interdict from Mr.. Low.
The Union leaders do not trust their
own candidate, it is declared, and by fore
ing his nomination they hope to place
him in position where he must declare
in ,unequivocal terms whether he will ae-
cept They are convinced that Mr..
Quigg did not mean what he said when
he declared that Mr.. Low would not be
nominated by. the Renublicans if the
Citizens Union made him its candidate
without consulting the Republican orga-
nization.
"A representative Of the Brooklyn Com
mittee of Fifty but not OF the Citizens
Union will attend the anti Tammany
conference that the Republican machine
leaders have called for Monday evening,
He will go for the express purpose of
insisting upon Mr.. Lows nomination
by the anti Tammany forces.

SOLUTION OF THE MYSTERY SEEMS
FURTHER AWAY THAN EVER.

The Wife of the Murdered Man Is Not Ger
tain That She Saw Two Men Running
Away From tho House After the Fatal
Shot Was Fired-Pinkerton Detectives
Said to Be Working on tho Case.
Killingsworth, Conn.,, August 29.-
Sheriff Brown and State Attorney Muir
dock have spent the greater part OF today
Investigating the brutal and cold blooded
murder of Burton L. Hotchkiss, which
occurred Friday night in the little hamlet
of Rockland, situated in the northeastern
limits of this town. No clue on which an
arrest might be based was discovered, in
fact the solution of the mystery seems
further away than ever.
Mrs. Hotc hkiss, the wife of the
murdered man. today was not certain
the house just after the shot that killed
her husband was fired and was inclined
to think that there was only one. She
stated to Sheriff Brown today that owing
to family feud her husband and man
named George Goodale of South Farms,
q suburb of Middletown, had some trouble
about two years ago in which Goodale
was worsted and that Goodale at that
time told her that he would some day
shoot her husband. Sheriff Brown fol-
lowed up this clue and learned that
Goodale spent Friday in Durham and or
rived at his home in South Farms at 6
O'Clock in the evening and was only away
ten minutes after that during the night.
A peculiar circumstance recalled by this
clue is the fact that about two years
ago Goodale was alleged to have shot q
man named Kelley at South Farms, in
much the same manner that Hotchkiss
met his death, using a shot gun and
shooting through window. Kelley was
not seriously injured and when the. case
was heard in the Superior court, Goodale
was discharged for lack of evidence.
Sheriff Brown attaches little Importance
to these facts and does not believe that
Goodale is in any way connected with the
murder, but stated he would further in
yestigate Goodale's whereabouts on the
night of the murder.
1t was reported here this afternoon that
Pinkerton detective would be engaged
on the case. But States Attorney Murdock
would not confirm or deny the report.

KILLED FOR REVENGE.
A Man Shot in His Honse by an
Unknown Assassin.

The Murderer Believed to Have Been a
Game Poacher-There Is No Clue to
the Pc petrator.
Willingworth, Conn, August 2S.--One
of the most cold-blooded murders that
has been committed in this state of late,
took place last night in the little hamlet
of Rockland, situated in the northeastern
limits of this town.
The victim was Burton L. Hotchkiss,
q young married farmer, aged %, who
was almost instantly killed at his home
by an unknown person who fired load
ed shot gun through an open window.
The charge completely riddled his
breast and portion also entered the neck,
severing the juglar vein.
There is no clue to the perpetrator. 1t
is thought the deed was committed in
revenge for some grievance, fancied or real,
as no attempt was made .at robbery.
The farm on which Hotchkiss lived is
owned by e. n. Hubbard Of Middletown,
who had converted it into well-stocked
game preserve, and it is surmised that
saS gains WdTueI1, I1OtCuklSS incurred CQ6
enmity of some poaeher.
The house is situated on lonely road
nearly a quarter of a mile from any 9TH
er residence and afforded an excellent op-
portunity for tie murderer to escape At
the time of the shooting Hotchkiss was
sitting on sofa playing an ACCORDION,
and a four-year daughter was stand
ing in front of him. His wife was sitting
at the opposite side of the room and was
just about putting their youngest child
to bed The murderer placed the gun
upon the sill of the open pantry window,
directly in range of Hotchkiss, and fired.
The eoncussion extinguished the lamp in
the room and when Mrs. Hotchkiss had
sufficiently recovered from the shock to
procure another light, she found that her
husband had expired. He uttered but
a single groan and died almost instant
ly.
AS soon as possible after the affair,
Mrs. Hotchkiss gave the alarm Owing
to the inaccessibility of the place it was
impossible for Coroner Davis and Chief OF
Police Engliss of Middletown to arriy
here until late. this morning. NOTHING
was learned that would throw any light
on the crime. Medical Examiner G. Perry
Reynolds of Clinton did not arrive until
late this afternoon. Coroner Davis will
not render a verdict until after the
medical examiner has completed his
findings The case, however, has beer
reported to Prosecuting Attorney Muir
dock and an investigation will be al
once started
