THE STATE CO INVENTION.
Everything is in Readiness and Large Attend
ance Is Expected. Today.

Lewiston. Me, April 10.-Very little in
the way of excitement marked the pre-
liminary gathering, this evening, Of the
delegates to the State Republican con-
vention to be held tomorrow forenoon
To be sure, the recognized party leaders
were conspicuous in the corridors of the
Dewitt House, but 1t seemed to be more
for the purpose Of keeping in touch with
the party organization than for any Spe-
cific work. as there appeared to be very
little in the way Of a contest for any Of
the places at the gift Of the convention.
As the six positions as Presidential
electors are all Of an honorary nature,
interest, tonight appeared to center prin-
cipally in the candidates for the nationa!
convention at Philadelphia, the state be-
ing entitled to four. with the usual alter
mates. Two Presidential e.ectors-at Large
were, however, selected, Joseph O. Smi h
Of Skowhegan, and George T. Wcscoit OF
Portland; with Emory Andrews Of Ken
nebunk, and Harry b. Austin OF Philips,
as alternates.
As for the delegates to the national
convention each of the four congress
siOnal districts We're given the privilege
of presenting a candidates, and the favor
ties, tonight, were as follows: LIST Dls-
trict. George W. Norton of Portland; "a
Sidney NJ. Bird of Rockland; Sd District.
Joseph II. Manley of Augusta: 4th Dis
trict, George II. Murchie of Calais.
The State committee was in session
nearly all the evening arranging the pre-
liminaries. but in accordance with the
custom in this State. the main features
were left to the convention itself. n"
committee, however. announced that w m
T. Cobb of Rockland. would act as tenn
porary chairman and the temporary or
Canization will probably be made perma-
nent The resolutions were also practl-
| cally agreed upon. and read over to the
| members Of the committee.

J, A. KING ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Serious and Possible Fatal Mischance
at Davis. 1T

Wynnewood, I. T., March 21.-What
may prove to be a serious accident oc-
CURED this morning about o'clock at
Davis. town ten miles south of here
The Woodmen held meeting for special
work at that place last night and about
a dozen attended from here, among the
number being j. A. King. While wait
ing at the station for the return train
and about twenty minutes before it was
due the night Waterman of Davis came
up with the mail cart, across which lay
his Winchester rife. loaded. Mr.. King
made some remark to him as a brother
Woodman. when the former dropped the
handles Of his cart, and the rife was i'm
mediately discharged, the ball entering
the lower part of one of Kings legs and
tearing the calf and kneecap fearfully. It
IS supposed that the gun was carelessly
left cooked after loading. A physician
was hastily summoned, and all attention
possible rendered. Mr.. King was placed
on cot and brought TO his home at
this place. 1t is impossible to know at
this stage just how serious the wound
may prove. but it seems very evident to
attending physicians that the limb will
have to be amputated.
