MAY BE MIR. TUTTLE.
Boston 8 Maine Man May BE President
of the Maine Central.

Bangor special to the Lewiston Jour
nal saysi
Since President franklin A. Wilson has
made know his intention to retire from
the presidency Of the Maine Central rail-
road, there has been great deal of specu-
lation, not only In his home, but In the
rest of Maine a. to who will succeed
HIM.
Somewhere in the "irside" comes the
pretty authoritative statement that the
new pr esident win be Mr.. Luoius Tuttle,
who is also ths president of the Boston s.
Maine.
Except on sentimental grounds this Sc
lection of Mr.. futile will Of course not
make the least bit of differences to the
people Of Mime. The Maine. Central will
be run Just as 1t has been In the pas t.
But it will be managed more ostensibl y
from the Boston end hereafter.
At the October meeting MIR. futile Will
of course be elected unanimously.
1t may that when the Maine Central
has become openly what 1t has long: bsen
actually-part and parcel of the Boston
Sc Maine system, the two-oent inter-
changeable mileage Will be granted,
good from all points In Maine to Boston.
This it 10 understood is the next step OF
progress to be made by the railroad, and
1t is hinted that this will com from the
railroad management of Its own accord
without pressure from the peopl 9.

pany Pleasantly Remembers the
city.

Miss Freeman, the very accomplished
leading lady of the Colonial Girl company
at the Jefferson theatre, is not STRICTLY
speaking Portland girl, still our city
Is endeared to her by many pleasant as
sociations. She is daughter of the late
Capt. Edward Freeman who was an
officer in the revenue service and at one
time was on duty at this station in com.
mand of the revenue cutter.
In an interesting interview which she
yesterday accorded to reporter of the
PRESS, Mics Freeman said she had many
times heard her parents speak of their
stay In this city and while here they
boarded at the old Churchill mansion on
the corner OF State ami Danforth street.
This was way back in the 'z0's.
Referring to her professional career
Miss freeman very modestly referred to
q passion which she did for the stage
from her earliest youth. She made her
debut only two years ago, appearing first
with Lillian Russell and afterwards with
one OF Charles Hoyt's company.
The progress which she has made in her
art during her brief career Is indeed note
worthy. Last winter coming under the
observation of MIR. Frohman she was Sc
lected for the leading role in the Colonial
Girl and has scored signal success.

POWDER MILL BLEW UP.
With 1T Went the Bodies of Four of
the Employees,

San Rafael, CAL, June l9.-The United
States Snokeless Powder Companys fac
tory, situated on Point San Pedro, foul
miles from this town, was the scene of q
disastrous explosion. AS a result four
employees were killed and three seriously
injured, while six buildings were demoi-
ished by the shock and resultant flames.
The bodies of the dead, which are now
at the morgue, are so mutilated as to be
almost unacceptable. The dead: Edwin
Secumbe, John S. Secumbe, James M.
Hennessy, M. Hollenbeck. The injured:
John Farrell, Henry Carroll, William Web
ster.
To the sudden igniting of the powder
contained in the granting room the disas-
ter is due. A second explosion quickly
followed the first, and soon four mixing
houses were in flames and were entirely
consumed. The explosions at first were
mistaken for the national salute at the
military stations in honor of Bunker Hill
day. About year ago an explosion &C.
CURED at these works from similar cause
The property damage today will not ex-
coed $4,000.
1t is surmised the primary cause of the
explosion was the criminal carelessness of
one OF the workmen who was smoking
IN the granting room, and it is coniectured
the offender was either Hollenbeck or John
secumbe, who paid dearly for his folly.
