AHEONj CONTRADICTED
BY HIS OWN FOREMAN

Mr.. Beardslee expressed great sur
prise at reading the interview with me
in the Advertiser concerning Aheong' s
statement. He brought Mr.. Beck the
foreman who had entire charge of Ahe-
ong's work. This was the man who
had charge of the work during the first
part of the construction and with
whom he came more in contact than
with any other man.
''NIr. Beck said he was not aware of
any stone being refused by the archf-
tect or anybody else. The only objee-
ton made was to white sand, the spe-
cifications requiring rock sand or
crushed stone. Mr.. Beardslee did re-
fuse to accept sand, at the same time
calling attention to the specifications,
but did not ask where the sand came
from
In thus giving out the substance of
the REPUTATION Mr.. Beardslee offered 70
Mr. Aheong's statement the Governor
signffed that he deemed its publication
was due to Mr. Beardslee since the
categorical assertions of Mr.. Aheeng
had been published.

Pacific westbound rans-continental
express train was held up by four
masked men Saturday night four and
half miles west of Mission Junction.
At the point of revolvers the express
messenger was compelled to hand
over the valuables and the safe was
dynamited. The registered mail also
was ransacked. The robbers escaped
to the bush and are supposed to have
crossed the boundary line into the
United States. They secured about
$4,000 from the express safe.
Express Messenger Herbert Mitchell
at first refused to open the car door,
but on being informed that the car
would be blown up with dynamite, of
which they had quantity, he COM
piled, was disarmed and forced to
open the safe.

STATE OF NAMES ELECTION.
REPUBLICAN PLURALITY ESTl-
MATED AT 10000.
Four Republican Congressman Elected
Democrats Made Small Gains
in Both Branches of the
Legislature.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 13.-Returns
for governor in the state election from
800 out of 522 cities, towns and plan
| (dem.) 3S,399. The same places in
1900 gave Hill (rep.) 51,705; Lord
(dem.) 29,302.
These returns show a republican
gain over 1900 of Is per cent. and
democratic gain of 81 per cent, on
which basis the republican plurality
for governor is estimated at about 3D.
900. In 1900 it was 1884.
Both candidates for governor were
successful in their own cities, Mr..
Cobb carrying Rockland by 367 and
Mayor Cyrus w. Davis, the demo-
cratic candidate, winning his own city
by 3S votes. Lewiston also went for
Davis BY 576, which was the largest
single gain made by the democrats in
the early returns.
In the First and Second congress
sional districts the returns indicate
the election of Amos l.. Allen and
Charles E. Littlefield by about the
same plurality as four years ago. In
the Third district E. C. Burleigh ran
At late hour last night very few
reports had been received from the
Fourth district, where the reelection
of Llewellyn Powers is conceded.
Early returns show that the demo-
Gratis have probably made slight gains
in both branches of the Legislature,
but that body will remain strongly re-
publican and will probably re-elect
United States Senator Eugene Hale.
The vote was the heaviest cast
since 1883.
The election took place under con-
ditions favorable for a large vote. The
weather, dull and threatening early in
the day, became clear and inviting be-
fore noon and the voters, whose en-
thusiasm had been thoroughly aroused
during the campaign, flocked to the
polls.
While the various county contests
were bitter and hard fought, general
interest was fixed on the probable
plurality for Mr.. Cobb, the republican
candidate, the democrats aiming to
reduce it below the $4,000 of 1900 and
the republicans determined to prevent
falling off.
At IL o'clock last night Gov John
F. Hill sent a telegram to President
Roosevelt claiming the state by 10000,
the four congressman by majorities
ranging from 5000 to 10000, every
member of the state senate and five
sixths of the house.
Many of the contests for sheriff
were bitterly fought. In Portland, the
city in which the enforcement of the
prohibition law has always been a
subject of discussion, the present
democratic sheriff, William F. Pen
nell, was elected by plurality of
/ 900.

Philadelphia, Sept. 1.-THE Della.

way from this city to Bristol, Pa, last
night crashed into a steam launch
about ten miles north of here, grind.
ing it to pieces and causing the
drowning of eight of the dozen occu-
| pants of the small boat All of the
party were Philadelphians. The dead
are:
Joseph Fortescue, owner of the
launch.
Wade Auday.
Thomas Duffy.
Thomas Corvesier.
Anna Young.
Joseph Pfromer.
Mrs. Joseph Pfromer.
Engineer James Briggs.
The accident was the tragic ending
Of days pleasure trip on the river
The launch was owned by Joseph For
tescue and the party had been made
up from among few of his friends
The day was spent in cruise up the
river as far as Trenton. The return
trip was begun after nightfall, the
pilot of the boat keeping close to the
Pennsylvania shore on the run down
the river. When a point was reached
near Andalusia, the Columbia sudden
ly loomed up in the darkness. Fortes-
cue jammed his wheel to starboard,
but just a moment too late. The big
steamer struck the launch squarely in
the middle and cut it in half, throwing
all the occupants into the water.
A terrible shrek went up as the
boats struck, which almost caused a
panic among the passengers on the
Columbia. Dozens of life preservers
were thrown overheard to those in the
water and boat was quickly lowered.
Notwithstanding the fact that Capt
Campbell, of the Columbia, instantly
reversed his engine the Columbia was
some distance from the struggling
people in the water when he came to
a full stop. When the rowboat reach
ed the spot only four persons could be
found in the darkness. 1t is believed
that several of the victims were
crushed by the paddle wheels of the
Columbia.
The four taken from the water are
Thomas and Mrs. Dunn, John Preston
and George Young. Dunn was thrown
some distance from the wrecked
launch when the collision occurred.
His first thoughts were of his wife,
and in the darkness he caught sight of
her sinking. Dunn seized her and
fought desperately to keep his head
above the surface of the water. A rope
was thrown to him just in time, and
both he and his unconscious wife wer0
pulled aboard the steamer.
The survivors of the launch claim
the launch was burning the necessary
lights, as does also Capt Campbell.
The latter declared that the accident
was unavoidable.

There is still lack of specific in
formation regarding the exact situa-
tion in Manchuria. The Russian gen
eral staff, lacking details, is unable to
speak authoritatively, while advices
from Japanese sources are significant
ly lacking. 1t is established that the
Russian army is safely at Mukden
and that the retreat was accomplished
in good order, in spite of the harras-
sing Japanese, sodden roads, and the
fact that Kuropatliin was hampered
by more than 10000 wounded
There is nothing yet to indicate the
exact whereabouts Of the three Japa-
nese armies. When last heard from
Kurold's forces were on the Russian
left flank and steadily pushing north
word, but Viceroy Alexieff reports
that railway and telegraph communi-
cation between Mukden and Harbin is
uninterrupted. Gen. Sakharoff reports
that there was no fighting during
Thursday and while the, outposts are
still in contact they are not even ex-
changing shots. 1t seems to be estab-
lished that Oyama's troops practically
abandoned on "Wednesday the attempt
to head off Kuropatkin.
The last news from Mukden came
in dispatch filed Friday night. 1t
tells of great downpour of rain, ac-
companied by thunder and lightning,
which, the correspondent says, is con-
sidered advantageous. as it has check
ed the movements of the Japanese

correspondent adds that quiet reigns
over the whole front.
