Pithy Paragraphs from the Durham
Herald.

That Wilson murderer who Jumped
his bond went to lots of trouble for
nothing.
Maybe the court sympathized with
those Wilson reformers but had to do
it's duty.
Judge Parker's trends made a mas
ter stroke in securing the opposition
OF Tammany.
1t is not when but where the con-
vention is to be held that is worry
ing some people.
No matter how Japan comes out of
this mix-up, no other power will force
a war on her soon.
The way the courts look at it it is
less crime to kill a man in this State
than to steal a dog
If that Wilson court did not COM
promise with the criminals then we
do not know what to call it.
Charlotte is to have three months
temperance fight which is as much as
any town should be called upon to
stand.
Come to think of it, the Car can
not be expected to be more humane
to an enemy than he is ordinarily to
his own people.
The man who is tempted to steal
should kill a man, take his money
and buy what he wants. 1t will go
easier with him.
Colonel Walter R. Henry has come
to the conclusion to playing politics
is a sorry business. He did not have
time to study out this thing when he
was holding a job.
Considering the number that have
been turned loose, ten months for a
murderer may seem an Improvement,
but remembering that they submitted
the court could hardly have done
less.

ALEX. CLARIHEW
DEAD IN SCOTLAND
Member Of Firm Of Milne, Clarihew
& Gray Was Seeking Health
in Mother Country.

George b. Milne received last evening
a cablegram from George Gray in Scot
land announcing the death of their part
ner, Alexander ClariheW, on Saturday
last, Of lung trouble
In the death of Alex Clarihew. OF
Clarihew 4 Gray IN scotland. Barre has
lost one Of its leading business men. Mr..
Clarihew was born in Scotland about so
years ago He was man Of indofnita-
BILE perseverance and strict integrity.
He emigrated to this country about 20
years ago. In 1883 he formed a co part
nership with George Gray from which
time they have continued to conduct a
granite manufacturing business under
the firm name of Clarihew 4 GRAY.
They commenced in a small way on
Bugnham's meadow. In 1891, on the
death Of Mr.. Simpson, of Mcleod &
Simpson, they purchased the plant OF
that firm, to which they have gradually
kept adding until it has assumed its
present proportions. In 1895 Clarihew
* Gray bought the " S. Wiley interest
in the then Milne & Wiley quarry, and
became partners with George B. Milne
under the name Of Milne, Clarihew 81
Gray. In 1898 the firm bought the ad-
joining large dark quarry owned By the
Empire Granite CO.. and have since con-
ducted a large quarrying business Mr..
Clarihew Is thus Il member of two diff
ferent firms, each doing large and prof
liable business. His death comes as a
shock TO his many friends in the city,
as none realized his end was so near, al
though he has been in falling health for
several years. He left Barre about two
years ago and has since resided for the
most part in Kintor, Aberdeenshire, near
his old home. He spent last winter on
the banks of the Nile and had planned
TO return TO Barre this summer, but did
not feel strong enough for the Journey.
Mr.. Clarihew was secretary of the
Barre Granite Quarry Owners Associa-
tion from its organization until he left
the city, and his loss will be keenly felt
in the business life of the community.

PLURALITY WILL BE 33, 900
Returns to Date Are Very Incomplete
But Show Bigger Democratic
Gains Than Republican.

Augusta, Me, Sept is Reports on
the state election are slowly coming in
but the latest returns show that Cobb Is
elected By plurality Of $1,000.
Complete returns will not Be received
for several days, but 800 out of 522 cit
les, towns and plantations gave Cobb
59,7o5. Davis $500. Same places in
1900 Hill, !, 5l,7O5; Lord, d, 29,3o2.
These returns show Republican gain
of about s per cent and Democratic
gain Of about 81 per cent. over 1900.
In the list OF pre.eleetiou claims both
parties should be satisfied with the re-
suit The Republicans placed Gobb's
plurality at Il, 900, and the leaders were
overioyed tonight in having those figures
exceeded By 10000. The Democrats
stated yesterday that If the Republican
plurality Of 84,3s4 Of four years ago
was reduced by one vote that they
should regard it as Democratic victo-
ry. Up 70 9 late hour tonigh no state
ment could be obtained from any Of the
Democratic leaders
fn the first and second congressional
districts the returns Indicate the elec-
tion Of Ames r. Allen and Charles II.
Littlefield By about the same plurality
as four years ago. the third district
Il. G. Burleigh ran ahead of his vote Of
four years ago. Az alate hour tonight
very few reports had been received from
the fourth district, where hte reelection
of Llewellyn Powers is conceded
Early returns show that the Demo-
crats have probably made slight gains
in both branches OF hte legislature, but
that body will remain strongly Republi-
can, and will probably re-elect Senator
+. Z. Hale.
The vote was the heaviest cast since
1855. Three hundred towns reported a
net gain for the Democrats Of over 900
votes.
The Democrats have apparently elect
ed their candidates for sheriff in Andros-
eoggiu and Cumberland counties, and
made gains Ii the delegation to the leg
islature from the former county.

C0NGREssMEN RETURNED.
Republican Majority in Maine Legisla-
ture Is Assured.


Portland, Me, Sept. 12.-With viii
liam L. Cobb Of Rockland heading their
ticket as candidate for governor, the Re-
publeans carried Maine at the biennial
election today. The four present Con-
gressmen, Amos L. Allen in the first,
Charles E. Allen in the second, E. c. Bur
leigh in the third and LIewellyn Powers
in the fourth districts were also re-
turned and Republican majority in the
Legislature was assured. The party
was also successful in many county con-
tests, Of which there were more than the
usual number this year.
While the various county contests
were bitter and hard fought, general in
terest was fixed on the probable plurali-
ty for Mr. Cobb, the Republican candi-
date, the Democrats aiming To reduce it
below the $4,000 Of 1900 and the Repub-
hcans determined to prevent falling
off. TO these ends the leaders put forth
every effort, especially in the large cities
and towns.
Early returns showed that both par
ties had made gains over the election Of
1900 tt was also seen that the Demo
Gratis had outstripped the Republicans in
many instances.
The cities Of saco, Biddeford, Auburn,
Wateryiile, Rockland and Lewiston gave,
their returns very early and the figures
indicating Democratic gains grew stead
ilg Later, however, when the towns be-
gan to be heard from, decrease was no
ted and by the time $50 of the 522 cities
and towns had been tabulated the net
gain was in favor Of the Republicans.
