SPARKS FROM MAINE WIRES.

The remains of George Lane were
brought from Parkman to the home Of
his brother Lyman Lane, at Dexter, Sat-
urday: The deceased met his death. FRI
day night, on the farm of Samuel Hutch
ings. He was at work laying q load of
hay on a rough piece of land. The hay
rack was filled and the horse suddenly
starting, precipitated Mr.. Lane to the
such a position that his neck was broken.
coroner at Guilford was notified but
deemed an inquest unnecessary. How
ever. the selectmen, Constable Nelson
Genthner and Lawyer Harvey of Park
man, and DIR. n. II. Marsh Of Guilford,
were present at hearing held at Mr..
Hutchings', Saturday morning, when an
inquiry into the particulars of the affair

in Dexter.
There was bad accident at the pa
per mill of the Webster Paper Co. at
Orono, Saturday afternoon, but fortu-
nately no one was killed or injured. It
was nearing the last part of the fore
noon and successful week, such as Is
continually enjoyed by this company,
when without warning, one of the en-
gines furnishing power for one Of the
big machines, broke and flew into a
hundred pieces. The exact cause IL not
known, but 1t Is thought that the fly
wheel burst first and demolished other
parts of the engine. Large pieces of
iron crushed through a window in tht.
rear. hole was broken in the floor.
and oil tanks and things near the en-
CINE were found in a general wreck.
Had anyone been in the room at the
time it would probably have meant
s11ro death tn them C1,nt Honv,or had
just passed through and Engineer Bas-
sett had just left the room to attend to
something at another part of the mill.
The engine was Of no h. p. Of the At
las manufacture and was worth about
$1,000 which. with the shutting down u
one machine for few days, and other
Inconvenience, will make the loss 70
the concern considerable.

 Prospector: A new well-boring machine has arrived at St. David, and already contracts ahead have been arranged for to keep 1t busy for some time. The number of artesian wells sunk at this favored locality are in the neighborhood of twenty or more and no diminishing of supply is thus far recorded.

The Republican Leadership.

From the santa re New Mexican.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Las
Vegas OPTIC, says that a change is
needed in leaders ID the republican
party in New Mexico and that there
must be a new deal all around. Consider
ing this, it is well for republican news
papers to make plain the position they
will occupy upon the question here
after. Of course, this paper a only
speak for itself. This paper proposes
to stand by just such leadership, old or
new, a. IT believes to be beneficial to
the party and to the people. In
cidentally 1t will take good care to sup
port just such leadership as is also
friendly to the Neic Merican and TO
the principles and interests it repre-.
sents, advocates and supports. That
is our position and we don'tcare a con-
tinental red cent, who knows this or
likes it or dislikes it. The re publican
papers Of this Territory can and should
make themselves felt in party councils
and in party management, and as far
as the New Nericdn is concerned, it
will have full aud just recognition or
know the reason why, be the leader
ship OF the party what it may, be the
new federal off sials who they may.
We quote the editorial Of THE OPTIC'
in order to show its position upon the
very important question OF leadership
IN the republican party.

Special Correspondence Of The Optic.
ZsANTA FE, April 23.-Authentic in
formation is at hand from Washington
to the effect that but for Wall street
influence, worked up and concentrated
by the Rrice-C oler bond interests. ex-
Gov. Prince would have landed the
g%overnorship. three weeks ago. It's q
real case of chickens coming home
to roost. When Prince was governor,
six years ago, be spoiled the Coler-Brice
people by doing their bidding in one or
two instances. In March, 1896, after
the U. S. supreme court had decided a
parallel case from Arizona, showing
certain Santa Fo county bonds to be in
valid, Prince quit the lawyer and the
politicians joined hands with the PEG.
pie and came out openly in opposition
to the Colers and the Brices. At q
mass meeting held at the Santa Fe
county court house, March 9th Of last
year, Prince presided, and resolutions
we're adopted d%enouncing these railroad
bonds as fraudulent and their holders
es ~Shylocks, or words to that effect.
So when the ex-governor appeared in
Washington in search of office, the
Colers and the Brices concentrated all
the power Of wealth against him. This
is the accepted theory Of Princes de-
feat as it is viewed here, to-day.
On the other hand, it Is understood
that this same Wall street influence is
in the fight to stay and is now center
ing its spull'' on Gilbert d. Pray, the
Iowa man whom Senator Allison Is
suspiciously anxious to get rid OF. Pray
is said to be a good man and an aspiring
politician, but none too good to throw
over his shoulder the proffered aid Of
the Coler-Brice sypdicate-and it Is
said they prefer to have him named

We are informed that Prof. j. A.
Wood, principal Of the city schools,
has never objected to undergoing an
examination, neither does he ask to be a
member OF the city examining board,
although he served several years in
that capacity in the city of Winfield,
Kansas. He has passed many a crucial
examination with almost perfect
grades.
The last time he was In Indiana, he
passed a three days. most search
ing examination In nineteen different
branches before the highest educational
tribunal OF the state and secured a life
diploma from that state. While in
Kansas, he passed an examination be-
fore the state board Of examiners and
secured a certificate giving him the
authority to conduct Institutes in any
county or city in the state of Kansas.
While visiting in Chicago, before
coming TO New Mexico, he passed a
very thorough examination and secured
the highest grade certificate granted to
any applicant. So 1t is evident that if
the members of the board OF Las Vegas
are uneasy concerning his scholarship,
il will be no difficult task for him to
satisfy them.
