Hancock, S.

Inhabitants of Eden.
Rescript, Savage, 1.-THE town of
Eden by due proceedings laid out a way
from Main street to School street in Bar
Harbor, and took therefore q strip of
land belonging to the plaintiff, 80 feet
wide and about 1926 feet long. OF this
strip, 20 feet in width was already sub
ject to the easement of private way
created by grant. The plaintiff, to whom
the municipal officers of Eden awarded
no damage, has brought his claim for
damages before the court, and jury
has awarded him the sum of $751;.
The defendants led motion to set
this verdict aside. The only ground rs-
lied upon Is that 1t is excessive. The de-
PENDANTS strenuously urge only that the
value OF the land taken was less than the
amount OF the verdict, but that plaintiff s
entire lot was benefited by the laying
out OF the way, so that what was left af-
Ter the land for the way had been taken
was worth as much as the whole lot had

GOING TO pITTsFIELD NOW

Pittsfeld, November 10.-The Wiscasset

Pitssfeld. The road is running trains to
Albion. Rails have been laid for three
miles above here. A cargo Of rails
reached the docks at Wiscasset last eve

Another cargo is loading in New York
which will complete the remaining four
miles to Burnham. Three weeks more
will be sufficient to finish the road to
Burnham, and it is confidently expected
that month will see cars running to
that point.
Beyond Burnham it depends on the
weather. Location papers were filed In
Waldo and Somerset counties today. II
it be an open winter, work can be pushed
steadily along, but if it be an early snowy
season, construction will be buttoned uI

THE CONVENTION.

Roanoke ia alive with people to-day,
and there is feeling of suppressed ex-
oitement in all parts of the city. The
long expected and much-talked, OF
State democratic convention is not
twenty-four hours off. and already can
didates and delegates are gathering
upon the ground preparatory for the
preliminary work, which is to decide
upon whom the choice Of the conven-
ton will fall. The candidates for
temporary chairman are Judge Will.
liam F. Rhea, of Bristol, and
Mr.. Greenlee D. Letcher, of Licking
ton. Mr.. Joseph Button, clerk of the
Senate, will be the temporary eecre-
tary. Mr.. J. Taylor Ellyson, in his ca
pacity ss chairman of the democratic
State central committee, will call the
convention to order.
From present indications there will
be no fight over the endorsement of
the Chicago platform. There will be
no open opposition to it. Quite likely
an effort will be made to have the con.
yention put itself on record az favor.
able to the denomination of Mr.. Bryan
for the presidency. There will be some
contention in tho committee on resolu-
tons with reference to proper express
sions as to State issues. Senator
Daniel or Congressman Otey, most
likely the former, will be chairman OF
the committee on resolutions.
After the recess the reports OF the
committees will be received, beginning
with that of the committee on perma-
nent organization. Mr.. E. W. Saun-
ders, member Of the House Of Dele
gates from Franklin county, will no
doubt be elected permanent chairman.
Col. John Bell Bigger, clerk of the
House of Delegates. who, with the ex-
oeption, perhaps, of Mr.. Marshall Han
ger, is the best parliamentarian in the
State, will most likely be the perma
nett secretary, with Mr.. Joseph But
ton, clerk Of the State senste, as as
sistant. ,.
The nominations for governor, lieu.
tenant governor and attorney genera
will be proceeded with as soon as the
convention is permanently organized
The following are the candidates
whose names will 60 before the cor

Mann, of Nottoway; Mr.. Lloyd L.
Smith, Northumberland; Mr.. William
r. Alexander, of Winchester, Henry K.
Pollard, of Richmond and r. Carter
Scott, of Warrenton. The body will
also elect chairman of the State COM
mittee. The candidates for the latter
position are Mr.. J. Taylor Ellysop,
Congressman Peter J. Otey, of the third
district, and United States Senator
Thomas 8. Martin and Mr.. J. E. Miller
Much interest was created yesterday
by the statement that R. Carter Scott
who was appointed to fill out the unex-
pired term Of his deceased father, Ma
| Tor r. Taylor Scott, as attorney general
will be an active candidate before the
| convention. The fight over this Office
will be very bitter, and will probably
prolong the convention.
