There will be little cutting OF the State
ticket, and it is claimed by conservative
Republicans that they will defeat L.
Irving Handy and the whole Democratic
STATE ticket with majority ranging
from 800 to 800.
The fight between Simon S. Pennewill
and Joseph f. Holland, Senatorial can
didates in the First District, will be a
hot one and will result in a victory for
Mr.. Pennewill by small majority.
The Republicans also claim that Sena-
torial candidate in the Fourth District, j.
J. Brazure, will be excited in spite OF the
fact that the Regulars and Unionists
have failed to agree on the same candi-
date for State Senator. 1t is expected
that many Regular Republicans will
upport Mr. Brazure and cut their own
candidate, Dinnard W. Campbell, for the
district is stronghold of Republican
ism.
Robert Short, candidate for Sheriff,
has also fight on his hands, but will be
elected over Thomas r. Wilson by fair
majority. The balance of the county
ticket will be elected without doubt.
There will be Republican Repre-
sentatives elected, namely: Two from the
First Senatorial District, two from the
Fourth and one from the Third, also one
from the Fifth District.
This will give the Republicans three
of the five Sussex county Senator's and
six of the ten Representatives, and If the
same work is done in the other counties
OF the State the Republicans will have
the Legislature.
The Representatives who will be elect
ed are Marx l.. Davis, Of the First Rep
resentative District, and George S. Buell.,
| of the Second Representative District;
George H. West and Joseph W. Hunter,
of the Seventh and Eighth Representa-
tive Districts.
William P. Short, OF the Sixth, and
John Barr, of the Ninth District, will
also be elected.
It the First Senatorial District there
Will be l ,S7G votes polled, Of which there
will be probably l,157 Republican, 900
Democratic and 20 Prohibition.
In the Second Senatorial District 1,495
votes will probably be polled and 1858 of
them will be Democratic, G13 Republic

In the Fourth Senatorial District there
will be in all probability little heavier

tricts; the vote polled will be probably

FOR. NAVAL RESERVE.
Plans to Put 1t Under National Control

The New York Herald Of yesterday
says:
If the recommendations of Capt ]. Fl.
Bartlett. retired, chief of the naval aux
illary fleet and superintendent of the
coast signal system, ARE adopted, the naval
militia of the country will be under ma
tional control and will include signal
corps among its organizations.
Capt. BARTLETT is now preparing reports
and will submit them to the secretary
within the next ten days understand
that he believes that the militia should
be trained as they have been in the past,
except that they should have better faoili-
ties and opportunities to serve on mod
ern men-of-war instead of Anticipated
vessels. AS the coast signal system was
operated to a great extent by men
trained by naval militia off ,ers, he will
urge the formation Of a corps comprising
signal men and telegraphers, who shall
be available in connection with the coast
signal system in time of emergency. the
whole to be supervised by chief, whose
quarters should be located in Washing
ton.
Secretary Long is deeply impressed with
the advantages Of tie two services and
his report will have great deal to say
regarding their value, and what should
be done to improve them.

THE SACO MURDER.
Thou sht That the Murderer Was in Town
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
Possibly the North Saco murderer was
in Portland yesterday. 1t will be remem-
bered that the officers traced him to this
city Saturday and made search for him
here. They knew the general description
of the tramp in question from the man
who brought him to Portland. With this
to work from they searched high and
low, but failed to locate him.
Yesterday morning tramp who an
swers to the description of the man want
ed, entered Donovan's barber shop and
made enquiry for several people, none of
whom lived in the vicinity. One of the
men in the shop remarked that it was a
queer time to be searching for people.
| He said that man came to his door ear
ly in the morning, but he didn't 60 down
to see who it was. 1t might have been a
| tramp who would call him out and shoot
him.
Hearing this the tramp showed signs
of excitsment and hastily took himself
off. This was about 10 O'Clock in the
| forenoon.
Friday night man called at the Gilsad
station and made inquiries about the
trains He asked if the express leaving
Portland at 8 p. M, stopped at Gilead
and if it went through to Canada. He
was told the train did not stop unless
tagged. This night it did, however, and
the man when asked if he wanted ticket
said nothing and disappeared. He was
not seen at Gilead again. He was about
feet 8 inches tall, 81 years old, dark
complexioned and spoke with foreign
accent.
When this train arrived at Berlin Con-
duotor Harmon and the brakeman found
tramp ON board and put him off. He
made just resistance enough to cause
them to notice him and their description
tallies with that of the agent at Gilead.
| The man has had time to reach the
Canadian boarder even if he hadito walk
all the way, which Is improbable.
4 These facts have been communicated
to the Biddeford authorities.
Saturday afternoon during the shower.
Reuben Brackett of Cumberland..t oreslde'
went out TO his stable and there 1ouno
A man eating lunch He got into con
versation with him. The tramp uold
him he was from Portland and that he
was in search of work. Later the tramp
went on his way.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Brackett dis
covered that his horse and wagon had
been stolen from his stable. The horse
was n fast mare and the wagon was an
old ons of the Concord pattern. The
thief had put up large bag of grain,
which would indicate that he intended to
take the horse on long drive, most like
ly to Canada.
| Mr.. Brackett describes the tramp with
whom he talked as man about 80 years
old, clean shaven, except for small
mustache, dark complexioned, medium
height, and weighing about $50 pounds.
He wore dark striped suit, but had on
new hat and new shoes. 1t is not
thought by the officers that he was con-
peoted with the Boothby murder.

Woodchopper Now Connected With
North Saco Murder.
Deputy Sheriff Firth of this city and
City Marshal Burns of Saco were making
diligent search last night for the tramp
who is suspected of being the murderer OF
Ivory F. Boothby, the North Saco farmer.
The tramp whom Warren Mason OF Bar
Mills gave ride from Buxton to Port
land, the next day after the murder, and
who claimed to be in quest of work, was
seen at q 80 this afternoon in front of the
Portland post office
The person who saw him sent word to
the sheriff's office, but did not take the
precaution to keep watch of him. When
Deputy Sheriff Firth reached the place
where the tramp had been he was not in
sight. Search was made in every direction
leading to the railroad stations and
wharves
The officers reached the. Union station
few minutes after the 8. 80 train had left
for Boston. The Saco authorities were
telephoned, and they got word to the
Dover officers, the latter making a
thorough search on the train without
finding any body aboard whose appearance
correspond with the description Of the
tramp.
Last night the Saco marshal and
Deputy Firth made circuit of the rail
road freight yards, docks, cheap lodging
houses and restaurants. At Donovan IS
barber shop on Middle street they were
informed that man dressed as they had
described the suspected murderer, had
visited the shop early Sunday morning,
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
but had hastily departed, while the
customers were in the midst of dis
cussion Of the North Saco murder case.
A dispatch from North Shapleigh says
that George r. Crellin, who went to the
logging camp there as a tramp, four
weeks ago, and was given work as a
wood chopper. left suddenly last Monday.
without paying his board bill. He told
some of his companions that he intended
to walk to Portland, and to ship from
there on some schooner If he could. The
dispatch further says that the published
description of the tramp whom Warren
Mason gave ride to Portland tallies ex-
aotly with the feature and dress of Crellin.
He was a French Canadian.
