Rockland, September 23.-The legal
contest which Perry Bros. and the Rock
land -Rockport lime company have been
waging over the lease of the Blackinton
farm quarry termi mated today In a VIC
tory for the company.
Eminent council had been employed
IN the case, and it was not till the lapse
OF seven months that decision came.
This was In the form of a rescript re-
ceived here today, the effect or which
was to dismiss the lin presented by Perry
Bros, asking that their lsase of the
quarry might be made valid.
The quarry in question was one OF those
recently acquired by the syndicate and
the latter refused to renew the lease.
Perry Bros. claimed that the lease gave
them seven years use Of the quarry, and
have been holding possession of it until
this morning, when orders came to shut
down.
Before the case went to the fun bench
there were some months that Perry Bros
stationed an armed guard over 1t to
prevent their opponents from gaining
possession.
While Perry Bros. are seriously handl-
capped by the loss OF the quarry and Will
probably be obliged to shut down some OF
their kilns, they propose to remain in the
race, and are already developing new
quarry property.

Severe Electrical storm in Nova
Scotia

Halifax, N. S., September 23 For live
hours last night the maritime provinces
were the scene of an electrical storm of
tropical intensity. 1t came on with
startling suddenness. Rain fell In tor
rents and was accompanied by the
heaviest lightning which has been seen
here for years. No fatalities are reported,
but extensive damage by fires started by
the lightning appears to have occurred.
Telephones everywhere were put out Of
order, the telegraph was working badly
and several towns were left In darkness
through electric light generators and
transformers burning out. The damage
by fire was severest at Lunenburg, where
half dozen fires were in progress stimuli
taneously. The Church of England was
burned down and several barns and
dwellings with their contents destroyed.

THREE FAST MILES.
Record Smashing by Harry EIlSes at
chnr.es River Park.

Cambridge, Mass September 22.-Har-
ry Elkes won the second Of his series of
three races with Johnny Nelson at
Charles River park tonight, breaking all
records from forty to fifty miles. Elkes
rode 56 miles, s26 yards In one hour and
finished 81 laps IN the lead. He covered
the fifty miles in 1.22 % 2-5.
Both riders appeared in good form but
1t was evident from the first that EIke
was too much for the Swede. At eight
miles Elkes was half a lap ahead, passing
Nelson for one lap in the tenth. Nelson
hung close but lost his pace in the 14th
mile, dropping back half lap. Elkes
spurted and passed his plucky opponent
in the 10th, making two laps in his own
favor. In the goth he passed again, at
such speed that Nelson seemed standing
still, and from then on Elkes simply
walked away with the race. At 81 miles
he was leading by five laps; at Al by seven
and at 45 by eight. Elkes finished the
race nearly three miles in the lead. Elkes
established new American record for the
hour of 86 miles and S25 yards, while his
time for the last ten miles was as fol-

first Congressional district in this State.

in familiar strain as to old neighbors.
He was greeted personally by a large
number Of people
Mr.. Bryan did not attempt to deliver a
formal speech but be talked to the people
for half an hour or more concerning the
Issues, dwelling especially on imperial
ism and militarism.' .
He said the Republicans are not united
upon the question of supreme Importance
in the campaign, some of them giving
that place to the tariff and others to the
financial Issue. There could not howev-
er, according to the speaker, be any doubt
that the question of the form of govern
ment" is more important than either of
these. He then proceeded to argue that
the Republican par ty is seeking to estab-
lish imperialistic practices in our new in.
sular possessions. thus subverting our
present Democratic form Of government
and In the end bringing untold evils on
the people.
Governor Poynter also spoke. This af-
ternoon Mr.. Bryan spoke at Firth, II

composed largely Of Holland Dutch and

Halifax. N. S., September %. The Do
minion government steamer NewfieId is
ashore and viii be a total loss at White
Cove, Digby Gut, on the Bay of Fundy.
The captain decided to abandon the
steamer yesterday. The Newtield was
engaged on lighthouse service and went
ashore on Saturday during dense fog
and firmly wedged herself between two
huge boulders. Rocks pierced the bottom
and the hold filed with water. A large
quantity Of oil and other supplies in the
after hold was later taken out. The for
ward hold was full OF coal for the steam
horn stations. Inspector Hutchings Of the
light service was on board after the ship
struck. The work OF lighting her was
commenced at once and a message for
help sent TO Digby where the government
steamer Landsdowne happened to he.
The Landsdowne Immediately proceeded
to the scene of the mishap and made
several Intellectual efforts to pull the
Newtield ahoat. A consultation then took
place and as storm was indicated ap.
preaching, it was decided to abandon the
steamer and officers and crew went ashore
safely.
Sixteen years ago the Newheld was
towing the government steamer Princess
Louise, then new, to Halifax, from the
Bay OF Fundy. A squall parted the tow
ing hawser and the Princess was driven
ashore and all but two of her crew per-
ished.
The Newfeld's bones lie near about the
same place.

THEN AND NOW.

Evanston, Wyo., September 22.-Gov.
Roosevelt's special train arrived here at
10 a. M, and remained two hours. The
Governor spoke in the opera house. He
said in part:
-Four years ago 1t was exceedingly
difficult for a man to get work, Now
there is work in abundance and an ample
supply for all, so that the condition of
the wage workers. especially of the busi-
ness man, the farmer and the merchant,
is considerably improved. All over the
country you see improvement now. ask
you to look back to the prophesies made
by our opponents four years ago in
speeches made at different places. Again
and again they said that II Mckinley
were elected, the wage worker would
stand idle half the time, that the farmer
would see the price of the goods he sold
fall steadily lower; that there would be O
tremendous elimination in the deposits
in the savings banks and increased fail
ures among business men. Now there
has not come true single prophesy made
by Mr.. Bryan four years ago. There has
not been single prophesy maze that has
not been falsihed by events. Don't take
my word for 1t but judge for yourself,
you men who earn what Is to keep the
household, and you men who see to 1t that
the household is kept up properly should
think Of these things. 1 want you to
compare yourselves, the times now with
those four years ago. They were hard
enough then for the men but as is always
the case in hard times, they were infinite
ly harder for women and children. In
your votes this fall you should not en-
dorse the men who have tried to deceive
you with false prophesies, but rather en-
dorse those whose promises have been
kept.'
