Maine Democrats Nominate.

Bangor, Mellon. Cyrus w. Davis,
twice mayor of Waterville, has just
been nominated for the second time
by the Democrats of Maine as their
candidate for governor. The conven-
tion was one of the largest held by
the party in years, Oil out of possi-
BILE 1165 delegates being present, and
there was much more than the usual
enthusiasm. The nomination was by
acclamation, Mr.. Davis being the only
candidate. and he was given a rous-
ing welcome as he entered the hall.
In his speech of acceptance Mr.. Dav-
is said that for 20 years the Demo
cratic party in Maine had been one OF
protest merely, but that change had
come. the farmers of the state were
In arms against the rings OF Republi-
can officeholders which had been eX-
plotting them, and that in the coming
contest party lines would not count.
The platform demands an equaliza-
tion of taxation burdens, the imme-
diate repeal of the Sturgis law, de-
nounces the enforcement of the prohi.
bltory law as a farce and asks its re.
submission to the people.

Young Man Died in Agony.

Pittsburg-Details of a fiendish act
perpetrated on Stephen Borgeon, a
young Homestead steel worker, whose
internal organs are said TO have been
burst by fellow wOrkmen with COM
pressed air pump, causing him to die
in agony the following day, have come
to the attention of Coroner Joseph G.
Armstrong.
The body was exhumed and an au'
topsy held. AS a result of the autop-
sy a warrant was issued for John
Pretchem, the workman who is said to
have applied the air to Borgeon, but
he has not been arrested, having left
Homestead few days after Borgeon
was buried. Other arrests are ex.
pected.
Borgeon died June and was quiet

Homestead. His friends sought 10

The trouble which led to the death
of Borgeon occurred In the Home

and seizing and throwing him down

conform to the requirements of the

Under the schedule for renewal com
missions, however, which Is prescribed
definitely by the new laws, the agents
will lose about 25 percent of their
present compensation. Much of this

engineer Killed in Collision.

Rutland, VIA peculiar accident
on the Rutland railroad, n short dfs
tance from this city, Wednesday at
ternoon, resulted in the death of one
man and the severe shaking up OF the
passengers on an express train. The
dead man Is Harry n, Davis OF HUT
land, the engineer.
The train was the express that left
this city at 9 D. m, for Boston. About
seven miles south OF Rutland the rail-
road ascends mountain, the grade
being one OF the heaviest in Vermont.
While the express was climbing this
grade at good speed Engineer Davis
He tried to bring his train to a stand
stin, but before this could be done the
suddenly saw single freight car com
ing down the hill on the same track.
car had crashed into the locomotive.
Davis was so badly injured that he
died while being brought to this city.
None of the other traInmen or pas,
sengers was hurt.
The locomotive was badly smashed
up, but did not leave the rails, and
all the cars remained on the track.
The passengers were considerably
shaken. mp. A locomotive was sent out
from here and brought the train back
to Rutland, where a fresh start was
made after the wreckage had been
cleared from the track.
It is supposed the freight car, which
was loaded with wood pulp, accident
ally became separated from train on
siding we'll up on the mountain, and
slid on to the main track. 1t was
coming at tremendous rate when it
struck the train.
Davis leaves his wife and seven
children.

FOR TRAVELLING BILLS.
National House Of Representatives
Votes Money to President.

Washington. The bill appropriating
$4,000 to defray the travelling expen-
ses of the President for the next fiscal
year was called up under suspension
of the rules Wednesday in the house
by Mr.. Tawney Of Minnesota, chair
man of the appropriations committee,
Mr.. Underwood, Alabama, called at
tention to the clause in the consti-
tuition wherein 1t Is provided that the
President shall not receive any other
emolument than his salary.
Bourke Cochran of New York came
into the arena in support of the bill
saying he was not willing to make a
partisan matter out of the measure.
"The point wanted to submit to the
gentlemen and our side here and to
the entire house of representatives,
he said, "is this That in the operation
of our constitutional system the Presi-
dent has become a great leader of pub
lie Thought and public -nnininn- nuite
as much as a mere executive OF the
laws, and IL the circulation or the
President throughout the country adds
practically in the direction of improved
legislation, giving effective direction
to public opinion, whether that be not
an expense that ought legitimately be
borne out of the public treasury"
For many years the democratic
party had advocated certain policies,
but some way or other it has failed to
get them incorporated into our politi-
cal system. Laughter). However,
within the last two or three years a
new force has developed, giving to the
country from republican sources, a
wonderfully efficient enactment OF
democratic ideas. BY circulating
throughout this country and placing
before its people certain views upon
public questions public opinion was
developed which had already been
placed on a democratic platform and
now practically within our laws; and
almost inevitably within the course oi
the next few years will make the bal
ance Of the democratic idea the domi
uant feature of our legislation.

has seen fit to use the means by which

way to the statute books, and we have

ters' will be upset within the next Ie"
years. do not want on this SIDE tC
do anything which is likely to with
stand or arrest the march of the salu
tary forces in the development of tina
salutary purpose.
"Mr. Rosevelt's speeches Throughout
this country have been, | think by tn
confession of everybody, the stronges
force in the development of publ
opinicn in favor of the railroad rat
bill" (Applause.)
WI. Smith, Iowa, opposed the tier
and Mr.. SneTIey, rxoaU>.Sl-v. aud NJ,
Sullivan, Massachusetts,, both demo
Gratis, insisted that the act was legs
and the bill ought to be enacted int
law. 1t was Mr.. Sullivan's idea tina
the vote should not be cast on part
lines. He called attention to the eS
pense attached to the Presidents of
fee and thought it was the wish OF tn
American people that the dignity o
the Office be maintained.
The bill was passed by vote OF II
to 68, the yeas and nays being demand
ed by Mr.. Underwood.
