Shortly after Mr. IA. M. Hanna gave I'M
official information as to the senator's
condition the official bulletin OF the ply
stcians was issued. 1t was more hopeful
in tone than the bulletin issued at 8
o'clock this morning. It follows:
"12 noon.-Senator Hanna is resting
quietly. His temperature Is 1885; pulse,
iI5; respiration. 81. He continues to take
nourishment. There is no change in his
general condition since the bulletin Of
this morning.
"RIXEY.

The increase In the respiration OF two
heart beats Is attributable to the use of

M'MANUS NOT THE
 ONLY BIDDER

Contractor McManus thought he was the only bidder for the Bank street sewer Tuesday night and was consoling himself with the idea that he was bound to have one job this season anyway, when somebody came along at the eleventh hour and hand ed Sheriff Rigney a proposal of Fred T. Ley & Go of Springfield, Mass, which proved to be a winner. Nc Manus was very much surprised at seeing the bid received and thought as its reception and that of the check had not been certified to by the clerk 1t should have been declared infor- mal, but he was too much worked up to say so. He cites other cases in support of his contention, but sun ne is confronted with the fact that the bid was in on schedule time and con- tained a certified check for the ne cessary amount made payable to rne comptroller and these are the essen tial requirements mentioned in the ad- yertisement.

SERIOUS WEDDING JOKE.
Horses Run Away With Bridal Couple
 and Driver Is Hurt.

Boston, Aug 26.-Prac ctival jokers at a wedding in Wakefield Wednesday night caused a bride and bridegroom and the driver of their carriage to have a marrow escape from death. The bride was Miss Mary Nelson and the bridegroom Charles Eaton. The cere- mony was performed at the home of the Brides parents and after recep- tion MT and Mrs Eaton entered hack and the driver, U. S. Bisbee, mounted his seat to drive to the railway station.
 The din of tin cans tied to the wheels frightened the horses when the vehicle started and they broke into a run. Bisbee was thrown from his seat, his leg was broken and he re- ceived a gash in the back of his head. The horses ran mile and a half be- fore they were brought to standstlll. Several" times during their run MT Eaton attempted to reach the box to control them, but the vehicle was mov' ing so erratically that this was impos- sible. The bride tainted before steep hill slowed up the runaway horses.

On reading his mall yesterday morning John O. Sherwood of the Colby Sherwood Shoe Go was sur prised to find the following letter among 1t: MT J. c. Sherwood:
 Dear Sir-This is to warn you that If $1,0OO is not mailed to P. O. Box No 12, Waterville, before September 1 there will be an accidental CD fire Tn your store some time this year. If you say anything about this it will only make it more sure.
 "A5 DEAR FRIEND"
 Mir Sherwood was somewhat sInrr- led at first, but later his feelings were alleviated when he considered that the letter might be the work of some foolish joker. He decided to turn the letter over to the police, no matter whether it was a joke or not, and see what they tlfougne of t. If it was a joke, he thought 1t was stretching the line somewhat.
 The letter was consequently turned over to the police. Lieutenant Dodds said to-day that the matter was un- doubtedly the work of some joker. The letter was posted in Waterbury yesterday morning about o'clock. It was written on a typewriter and neatly done. The contents of 1t, however, are not worrying MT Sher- wood very much.
