DR.. NJ. G. WedgeWood of this city, and

lawyers in the state. He was at one time
very prominent IN politics, has been coun-
ty attorney and judge Of probate, and for
number of years was a member Of the
Republican state committee, serving
as chairman in 1881. He was a friend
and one OF the trusted lieutenants OF the

tion to know what is going on inform the
PRESS correspondent that Judge Wing s
chances of winning the place are very

mite Nearby.

Jackman, Me-, October 3.-As the re-
suit Of the accidental discharge of a short
gun in the store of Savage & Dunton,
this morning, four persons were seriously
injured and the two principal buildings
in the town were destroyed. The injured
persons are Elmer Dunton, seriously
wounded in head Abel Ktmba1l, cut on
temple; George W. Savage, cut on hands
and burned about head; Mrs. George W.
Savage, injuries received by leaping from
a burning building and nervous shock.
Dunton was showing Savage how a
new repeating shot gun worked, when
in some way The cartridge was exploded.
The gun burst and the conoussion ignit-
ed some cartridges and dynamite near
at hand, causing a terrific explosion
which stunned and injured the men.
When they regaIned consciousness the
room was full of smoke and flames.
Savage CROPPED his way to the door, while
outsiders rushed in and carried Dunton
out. AbsI KimbaII, who was in an ad-
joining store, was knocked down by the
force of the explosion. The upper floor
OF the store of Savage & Dunton was oc-
cup1ed as living rooms by Mr.. and Mrs
Savage and Mr.. and Mrs. r. Gilman.
Mrs. Gilman and Mrs Savage were in the
rooms when the accident occurred. The
former escaped safely, but Mrs, Savage,
who was intirm, and was startled by the
explosion, jumped to the ground and
sustained injuries which it is feared
may prove dangerous.
The fire lighting facilities of the
town are inadequate and 1t was 1mpossi-
lbe to save the two store buildings. The
loss on the store OF Savage & Dunton,
hardware, and tnat OF Abel KimbaII,
groceries and dry goods, is 1000; par

suits of yesterdays polling in the parlia-

THE KAISER'S NOTE.
Differences of Opinion Among Berlin
Ed itOrs.

-ANC-Ss
Berlin. October Such differences of
opinion as are noticeable in the press re-
garding the Kaiser-s telegram are con
fined to minor points. The Kreuz
Zeitung considers the most important
feature OF the reply to be Emperor Will
Hams' Invitation to the Chinese Emperor
to return to Pekin It says:
t'If this invitation is accepted, it will
greatly facilitate peace negotiations. In
any event, there is no question that the
Kaiser has gone a long way to meet En-
peror Kwang Su..
The Berlin Post takes the same view.
Several Journals emphasize the fact
that Germany's moderate policy is again
so clearly outlined that, henceforth, 1t
will be impossible to impute to her extra
vagant plans. Some Of the moderate lib
eraI papers regret to see Christianity
placed in the foreground. The Rheine
Westphalian Zeitung, formerly Bis
MARKHAM organ, contrasts Emperor vii
Hans despatch with Prince Bismarck's g
persistent rafusal to aid the Armenian
Christians and says that the Kaiser is
trying to succeed France as the protector
of Christians in the Orient.
The Frankfurter Zeitung points out
that Emperor William no longer demands
the giving mp of the guilty NIandarins,
The Vorwaerts, the socialist organ, OBJ
serves:
s'Emperor William dlsavows Count
Won Buelow in allowing Kwang Su to
undertake the punishment and in begin
ming peace negotiations before the Ger
man demands have been complied with. !"
The correspondent of the Associated
Press learns that the Chinese Emperor S
telegram came through the Chinese lega-
tion and tnat the answer was sent
through DIR. Won Schwartzenstsln, Ger
man minister to China, When the atten-
ton of foreign Office officials was drawn
to the fact that the Kaiser despatch ap-
parently approxlnates the American po-
sition, in letting Kwang Su infict the
punishment, they pointed out that the
Kaiser referred to the cooperation of the
powers In that MATTER adding that there
had been no substantial differences be-
tween the American and German policies
in this respect. The United States an
bassy also emphasized the latter feature
of the case, declaring that the differences
were merely as TO questions OF tactics.
The foreign office has not received the al
legged note from France to the powers.
