MR.. PAYSON TALKS.
Doesn't Believe the Reports About
Those Missing Pianks.

The members of the Maine delegation
who attended the great Republican con-
yention at Philadelphia during the past
week have returned to their homes.
Nearly all of the delegates reached their
homes, Friday, having left Philadelphia
Immediately after the business of the
convention had been disposed Of. All re-
port fine time and loud in their praise S
of the way in which everything went
off at the convention.

In Philadelphia, said franklin G. Pay
son, Esq, Saturday evening. 1.-The con-
vention was magnificent one and every
thing was as nearly perfect as was posi-
BILE. The Maine delegates had their head
quarters at the Hotel Walton ,and our
rooms had been set apart for us by Mr..
Manley, so that they were all ready for
us when he had arrived.
II was the Maine member of the
committee ON forming the platform and
can't believe that there is any truth in
these stories which have been reported to-
day about General Grosvenor of Ohio
making objections to the platform.
don't believe that there is anything true
In these stories.
1.-The West was simply bound to have
Roosevelt as the Vice Presidential candi-
date, the sentiment among the delegates
from that section being very strong for
him. Politically believe that the nomi
nation of Roosevelt was the strongest
that could have been made. We had an
opportunity to meet Col. Roosevelt, Mr..
Manley taking the delegates from this
state into the rooms of Col. Roosevelt
and introducing him to the Maine
people"

STRUCK THE wATCHMAN

Early Saturday morning Albert Bart
lett the night Waterman at the Portland
and Cape Elizabeth Electric r. r. IS pow
er house at Knightville had an exciting
experience and is wearing one of his op-
tics In mourning as result of it. About
three O'Clock he started to go from the
engine room into the car barn. The car
barn door had been locked up for some
hours but when Bartlett opened the en-
CINE room door some one in the barn gave
him clip over his eye which sent him
sprawling to the floor and for few
minutes put him to sleep as the saying is
The man or men who were in the barn
having laid out the night wat Gilman hast
lily made their escape through the engine
room to the street. When Mr.. Bartlett
recovered himself sufficiently to do so he
made thorough search for the man or
men but could find no trace of them. He
thinks that the person or persons in the
barn were tramps who had been locked
in and fearing discovery when the night
Waterman made his rounds took this
method of making their escape.

They Got a silver watch at Frank l.
Brett's House.

Portland IL infested with sneak thieves
and lately they have got in their work In
several places. Saturday afternoon when
the occupants of the house at 50 Oak
treet returned home, they found that the
house had been entered by means OF a
rear window and ransacked from top to
bottom. In all Of the rooms thorough
search had been made for money and val
uables. Bureau drawers had been ram
sacked, closets forced open and their con-
tents strewn all over the floor and evil
IDENTIFY not a nook or corner OF the
house had escaped visitation. The only
article stolen was small silver watch,

THOUGHT HE WAS DYNAMITED.

The police were stirred up Saturday
night because the dealers We're licensed to
sell fire crackers and explosives SO long
before July 4th. They had considerable
trouble Saturday night from the prema-
ture celebration of Independence day in
some quarters. About eleven O'Clock some
persons unknown put giant cannon
cracker on the edge Of window at the
Lincoln Park hotel. This was fired and
not only made a terrific noise but
smashed out big square of glass in the
sleeping room as we'll. The occupant of
the room thought thunder bolt had
struck the house or dynamite plot to
exterminate him at the very least. No
trace of the perpetrators of this joke could
be found by the officers.

JESSIE MORRISON
In BETTER MOOD.
Was Smiling and Confident mt the
Hearing of Arguments in

.ELDORADO. Kan, Dec. S.--Smiling and
confident Jessie Morrison today sat
through three hours of pleading. the last
stage but one In her trial for the murder
OF Mrs. Castle. With each hour since
she left the stand yesterday the prisoner
ment she made today depicted the feel
ings she felt-joy over the belief that she
would soon be free. She pinned a rose
on her dress before she left her cell, and
talked brightly with the jailer on the
way to the courtroom. There she listen
ed with rapt attention to the lawyers as
they argued earnestly for one side or the
other. but the strained look, the red eyes
and pale countenance so noticeable dur
ing the weary hours OF testimony-taking
were missing. The knowledge that she
would soon know her fate seemed to
change her whole being. Instead of an
expected collapse, the approach of the
end stimulated her to greater effort.
Judge Shinn's Instructions to the Jury
rather favored the defendant than not.
He told the jury that verdict could be
rendered on any count from first degree
murder to fourth degree manslaughter.
II the defendant believed she was in dam
ger of being killed by Clara Wiley Castle,
having first been attacked by her, she
has the right TO take steps to save her
own life, even to the taking of life. Con-
tinuing, he said the juryrnen must deter
mine for themselves whether the dec
iarations presented by the prosecution
really her deathbed statement; whether
or not they were Influenced by others,
and whether the wounded woman knew
clearly what she was doing.
" II. Mooney, OF Eldorado, opening for
the defense. attacked Ofn Castle for
stimulating jealousy between the two
women. and took occasion to say that
Mrs. Castle was better off In her grave
than living with such man as he had
shown himself to be.
Castle left the courtroom while Mooney
was pleading for the prisoner.
Judge Shinn placed no limit upon the
arguments, and as four lawyers will ar
que for each side II Is likely that the case
will not reach the jury before the first OF
