Have Merry Time At tho County Convention
1t Thomasion.

Rockland. Me-, July 25.-The third
party prohibition county convention in
Thomaston. Tuesday, was spicy af-
fair in spite of the rather limited at
tendance. II was the intention to hold
the convention in Good Templars hall.
but the delegates, for some reason,
were unable to gain entrance, and fin
ally adjourned to the office of a local
newspaper which is an advocate of the
prohibition platform.
II. NJ Bean of Camden, presided, and
w. Il. Foster of Thomaston, one of
the leaders of the recent reform move
ment in this State, was secretary. The
business was really conducted by Hon.
Grant Rogers of Richmond, the party S
candidate for Governor
Nominations were made as follows:
c. d. Wadsworth of Camden, senator:
II. c. Small of Camden, sheriff,
Charles T.. Meservy of South Thomas
ton, judge of probate; Henry Il. Shaw
Of Thomaston. clerk of courts: Cyrus
T.. Dunbar of Hope, and j. Frank Bur
ton of Gushing, commissioners; Jacob
Is. Loring of Rockland. register Of pro-
bate; Capt. Edward Bradford Of War
rem treasurer.
No nominations We're made for ccun-
ty attorney, the reason given being
that no member of the Knox county
bar was an advocate Of the party prin-
ciples. The only nominee of another
party to be indorsed by the convention
was Judge Mcscrvy, Republican.
An attempt was made to indorse L. NJ
Staples of Washington. for State sen
ator, it being argued that he was an
absolute teetotaler, but he was ruled
out because he was a Democrat and
favored high license.
DR.. G. l.. Crockett, who was recent
ly named for State committee by the
Knox county Democrats. argued ably
for Mr.. Staples ana said that the Dem
ocrats of Maine were not in favor OF
high license if prohibition could be en-
forced.
An attempt was also made to indorse
Guilford =. Butler. the Democratic
candidate for clerk. but it developed
that I. II. Simonton, the Republican
nominee for clerk, was Il strong tenn
perance man and the little convention
became divided in its favoritism. Ii
was finally decided to make an indie
pendent nomination.
The following county committee were
chosen: j. Frank Burton. Cushing: H

Drausht on First Trial Trip.

Boston, July 25.-The new Russian
cruiser Variag, which was given her
builders trial off the New England
coast, today. developed maximum
speed of 24.65 knots with 1880 revolu-
tons of her propellers. The trial.
which was held primarily for the pur-
pose of standardiZing the screws, re-
suited in fixing the number of revolu-
tons at 1853 as requisite to produce the
% knots which is called for by the
contract between the builders and the
Russian government. That she at
tanned speed of 2465 knots is taken
as promise of even a better showing
on her speed trial later, because at no
time, today, was she under forced
draught. Her engines developed 10000
horse power during the test On the
last leg of her course the cruiser ran
into storm and her builders being
satisfied with her showing. did not take
note of the figures on that leg.

ers of the Variag, expressed satisfac-
ton with the showing made by the
vessel. The cruiser will rest in Boston
