WATERVILLE DAILY TALK
GATES AND CHATFIELD ON
 TICKET FOR ALDERMEN.

Political Struggle Now Going On
 Who Will Pull the Stronger Vote?-
 Watervllle People Want Represen-
 tafion on Board of Aldermen-Notes
 The political bee is still buzzing. The democrats and republicans are having a regular up to date secret powwow, and the greatest curiosity is aroused as to what the other party is doing or intends to do. In this dis trict the republican voting list is the larger The principal bone of conten- ton is the contest for the aldermen ticket 1t is said on excellent author ity that the republicans will put forth the name of Lewis Gates, who is ac- knoWledged to be something more than an unknown quantity in local elections. The democrats will push the nomination of John ID. Chatield, who is also a strong vote getter in the village. Waterville people ill this dis trict of the ward want representation in the board of aldermen, as they ar que that it will then result in Water vile people enjoying some of the inn provements which they have been paving their taxes for so long q time. H. M Rigney, Kilduffs trusted lieu tenant, was at headquarters yester- day, and there is no doubt but what Rigney has his part of the campaign already mapped out, and it is not nec- essary to place 1t on paper.
 Dr Ryder has returned from a two weeks vacation at his home, West Reading.
 Court Pine Hollow will meet to- night
 A Waterville High school student sleeps six hours. is at school and pur- suing his studies fourteen hours each day, and the other four are spent in working at odd jobs to gain pocket money. This young man certainly ought to succeed in life
 In regard to the T B. Carney state ment in last nights Democrat con- corning the assassination of President Mckinley, the statement has confirm ed those who knew MT Carney that he is guilty of making no such offensive statements MT Carney feels deeply the position in which he has been placed, and if the gentlemen who sign ed the article in the newspaper had called upon him or sent for him he would have been able to explain the matter to their utmost satisfaction. MT Carney has lived among us over twenty years and has never been any thing but loyal, God fearing citizen, and deplores as much as anyone the terrible tragedy at Buffalo. MT Car ney regrets that anything he did or said could or would be used to his dis credit, as his whole life has been refutation of the construction placed upon his words.

SECRETARY HAY.
He Was in Close Touch With the
 Three Assasslnated Presidents.

He Was in Close Touch With the
 Three Assassinated Presidents.
 Washington, Sept 17.-It is not a matter of wonder that Secretary Hay is prostrated over the death of Presi- dent Mckinley. It is the third time that death by assassination has come to presidents with whom he was as sociated intimately in private or otfi- cial relations.
 When the bullet of the assassin Booth laid President Lincoln low in Fcrd's theater, in Washington, in 1865, NIT Hay was LincOln's private secre- tary, and went through the horrors of that trying period under circumstances which rendered the shock greater to him than to many of those who were prominent in public life at that time
 After the election of Garfield as pres ident there was no man in the coun- try upon more intimate terms person. ally, or who had the confidence more completely, outside of the members of his official council. than Mir Hay.
 Whitelaw Reid. the editor of the Tribune. was at that time in Europe. and Mir Hay, during his absence. was in control of that newspaper. When the bullet from Guiteau's pistol fatally wounded President Garfield, Mir Hay gave up his newspaper connection. and in the sad weeks that Garfield fingered on the border of the grave Mir Hay was close to him and did all in his power for his comfort and to relieve the burden of the great affiiction. The strain upon Mir Hay was very great, and the death of Garfield completely prOstrated him.
 Now Mir Hay is confronted with the third assault and the third death of his loving and loved friend. There is no man among public men who has passed through such trying expert enceS.
 It is only short time ago that NIT Hay passed through a great personal loss in the death of his own son by accident in New Haven. He has not yet recovered from this blow, and it is feared that the succession of these shocking public crimes and the per sOnal bereavement may be a greater burden than Secretary Hay is able 10 bear.

In The Spring Gulch Mine of Colorado
 Fuel Co.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Sept 17.-A terrific explosion of gas i'll the Spring Gulch mine of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, located eighteen miles from this place, caused the death of six miners and the serious injury of three others, besides much damage to the tunnel in which the explosion oc- cured. The dead are:
 F. G. Pickerton, George Cassenger, Albert Dehansinado, Peter Deldora, David Soller, John finders.

A later messenger brought the infor- nation that less than half an hour previous to the time of the explosion all but few of the employees had gone off duty, thus preventing a more serious catastrophe The explosion was caused by gas becoming ignited by the blasts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-Bears oversold the
grain market early today, and although
trade inclined toward lower prices, cover
ing brought an upward trend. December
wheat closed unchanged, December corn
PC and December oats PC higher. Pro-
visions closed all &c lower.
The wheat market was a dull and mar
row affair, ruling most of the time unr
der yesterday. The opening was easier
on improved weather conditions in the
winter wheat belt as the result of copi-
Gus rains. Lower cables and continued
liberal receipts also had depressing in
fluences, and December opened isft1zc
to 14dssc lower at 717sc to 71%c, declined
to 719s@71&c. Bears were disposed TO
sell, though not with any considerable
pressure. There were good orders. on the
break. many from Wall street, and shorts
had to cover, bringing December up to
T31se. After this demand Was supplied
the market steadied and December clos
ed unchanged at 72G721sc.
Local receipts were 81 cars, none OF
contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 915 cars, total for the three
points of 969 cars, against $50 last week,
and 626 a year ago. Primary receipts eel o6S
were 1,0S6,00O bu, compared with 665,0Uo
last wear Seaboard clearances were
59a, 0G0 blu. The seaboard reported twelve
loads taken for export Argentine snip
ments for the week were $4,000 blu, against
$4,000 blu last year.
Trade in the corn pit was governed
mainly by local conditions, following
closely after wheat fluctuations. Der
cember opened 1sc lower to unchanged
at 597s6J60c on weak cables, and scalp
ers following the wheat break sold De-
cember down to 595s@59s4c. Fear of dam
age to stocks by the rains and the slight
upturn in wheat brought shorts to the
realization of an oversold market, and
they ran to cover. December was IN
better demand than May, although the
trade was dull. The nearer option mar
rowed the premium down to 2Ac, ana
closed firm, &c advanced at 6G12c. Re
ceipts were 100 cars.
A strong cash situation in oats kept
that pit fairly active with a strong unt-
dertone. Local professionals We're prom
inent buyers, and there was a fair com
mission house demand December, winch
opened Nc lower at 40Ac quickly reacted
ana closed strong 15c UP at Ac Re
ceipts were 2H cars.
Provisions ruled easy on large run OF
hogs and on liberal selling both by out
side holders and packers. A better
tone followed, however, and shorts COW
ering brought an easy close. All January
products closed sc lower. January PORK
At l5.271b. January lard at SSH and
January ribs at %.S0.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are. Wheat. 55 cars; corn, 145 cars; oats,
100 cars and $4,000 head of hogs.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
