w. II. Cobb For Governor.
PORTLAND Me- June 2S.-The Re-
publicans Of Maine In convention here
nominated Governor William T. Cobb
of Rockland for second term as chief
executive of the state.
The convention was notable not only
as one of the largest in recent years,
but more especially on account of the
effort made by Lewiston and Bangor
delegates TO introduce into the plat
form plank providing for the resub-
mission to the voters of the state the
question of continuing the prohibitory
law. which has been in force for more
than fifty years. The attempt failed.
minority report of resubmission reso-
luton being rejected by vote of about
three to one.
The presence of William p. Frye the
junior senator from Maine. as chair
man of the convention and of Con-
gresham Charles Il. Littlefeld as
delegate also gave interest to the con-
vention. Both were given unusual
demonstrations.
The platform adopted contained
rea affirmation in the principle of prohl-
billion with faithful and impartial en-
forcement, declared belief in reci-
procity governing interchange with for
eign countries of articles not the prod
net Of American labor and opposition
to such reciprocity with Canada as
would embarrass the industries of the
state with the articles of lumber and
farm products and recommended to
the next legislature the consideration
of statutes under which all nomina
tions for elective offices shall be by d.
rect vote of the people.

HAD NARROW ESCAPE
Wayne Morse Caught In Belt at lockwood
Mill.

A serious accident occurred in the
cardroom of Rockwood's mill, We'd
nesday afternoon. The men who we're
working at one end OF the room heard
cries and running to the other end OF
the room found Wayne Morse, a new
employee, on the floor with his face
and head gashed In several places.
Physicians we're called and he was
taken 10 his home.
Morse does not remember how the
accident happened and as no one was
looking at the time 1t can only be con-
jectured what happened. He probably
was caught on the belt and carried to
the shafting above and then thrown
heavily to the floor.

OLD TIMES IN RUSSIA.
Count De Whites Friend Denies Douma
VIII Meet in April-Bombs Thrown
and Admiral Slain.

ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 1O.-One Of
Count de Whites closest confdants says
the announcement that the douma will
meet about the middle of April is absurd.
No one can tell when it will assemble.
The censorship has been resumed on cor
respondents dispatches, and it seems
quite like Old times.
Admiral Chouknin commander of the
Black sea fleet at SebastopOl. was
wounded by a woman who attacked him
in his office. A sentry shot the woman
dead.
The news of the attempt on Chouknin's
life created great excitement among the
sailors, a large proportion of whom are
sullen and continually on the verge of
mutiny. The revolutionists attempted to
organize demonstration, but were I'M
successful. Attending surgeons are con-
fident that Chouknin will recover.
Rear Admiral Grigorovitch has as
sumed command of the Black sea feet
in succession to Chouknin.
The war between the fighting organ
izations" of the revolutionists and the So
called Black Hands assumed a new
phase when band of reds surrounded
the Cabaret SchlusselbergC haussee on
the bank Of the Newsky river above st.
Petersburg, and threw a bomb among
an assemblage of workmen. The reds
then opened fire, killing two and seri-
OuSly Wounding eighteen.

PASTOR IS KNOCKED OUT.
CoIored Brethren at st. Paul in Bloody
Mx-up Over Collection.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Feb. 12.-Rev. Mr.
Seymour. pastor of st. James African
Methodist Episcopal church, was
knocked down in front of the pulpit by
two trustees of his own church at the
close of his sermon on ''brotherly love-
Sunday morning, and in the riot which
followed many of the parishioners took
part. Only the arrival Of the police put
an end to the struggle. Faces We're
bruised, blood was shed, and the con-
tents Of the collection boxes, over which
the trouble arose, were scattered about
the floor. F.
The pastor has been unpopular for
some time, and, failing to get him to
resign, the trustees cut his salary from
$50 to $40 a month Still he held on,
and Sunday morning preached an i'm
passioned sermon. When the collection
was called for the crisis came. Two of
the trustees arose to take charge of the
collection boxes. but the pastor reached
one of them first and called on two of
his friends for aid. Then he went to
the other. which was in charge Of Trus-
tee r. G. Miner, and smote him on the
eye. putting him down for the count.
Robert Lowe, the other trustee, using
a heavy collection box as weapon, struck
the pastor on the head SCATTERING the
box and stretching the minister Oh the
pulpit steps. No arrests were made.

weighing 3Sl pounds, into the patrol
wagon. and after his arrival at the sta

men and the application of snndry
wedges, levers and ropes were required
to land him in the ante-room of the

asleep under the influence Of some bev-

ton, was too large to get through a cell
door, and he was deposited on the floor

SAY DRUG SEALED
LOU DILLONS FATE.
E. E. Smathers, Whose Maj. Delmar De-
feated Famous Trotter, Is Of
fcially Accused.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The most
sensational turf scandal of recent years
was revealed last night when it became
known that E. e. Smathers, the million
aire horseman, had been accused of
knowing that drugs had been admins
tered to Lou Dillon, G. K. G Billings
famous trotter, when, at Memphis, in
October 1904 Smathers, driving his
own horse, Major Delmar, beat Lou
Dillon.
The gold cup, worth $4,000, which
Smathers won at that time has been
taken by a deputy sheriff out of Smath-
ers' suite in the Pierrepont and is now
in the sheriff's office Mr.. Smathers
said the cup had been seized before he
learned of the startling accusations.
Billings to Stay Out of 1t.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Feb. 1O.-C. K. G.
Billings, owner OF Lou Dillon, is now on
his way TO New York and it is under
stood that he is decidedly averse to
any participation to the controversy re-
garding the cup. There are, however,
several gentlemen i'll this city who wit
messed the race between Lou Dillon and
Major Delmar and have been familiar
with the progress of the investigation of
the race inaugurated by the Memphis
Driving association shortly after its con-
clusion One of these men said today:
1T is incredible that the Memphis
Driving association would take steps of
SO radical a nature without possessing
evidence which 1t regards as conclusive
that the mare Lou Dillon was tempered
with.
Action Was Not Precipitate.
'"The matter was of such Importance
that the action which has been taken
could not have been the result of any
sudden determination. The Driving as
ISOLATION, while believing that a gross
wrong has ben perpetrated, had to be
carefully persistent and unhagglng IN
running down all of the clues which
were developed.
The association met with the usual
difficulties attendant upon unearthing a
premeditated conspiracy, and it was only
after the conspiracy was developed and
attendant circumstances pointing I'M
erringly to the inspiration of the scheme
had been disclosed that all the evidence
secured was laid before eminent counsel.
THE best veterinaries in this coun-
try have in turn had Lou Dillon under
their care and scrutiny, and to this day
none of them are able to say that she
will ever recover her former greatness.
Damage to Horse Irreparable.
Assuming that the legal action for
the recovery of the cup is brought to a
successful issue, it is manifest of course
that probably the least important fea-
ture of the matter has been settled and
there still remain the grayer questions
of responsibility for the damage done to
the mare, as we'll as the personal re-
sponsibility involved. If the association
succeeds in the action for the recovery
of the cup, the atrGcious character of
the wrong done would necessarily indi-
cate to the public officials the next step
to be taken.

A ResourcefuI Boy.

The late Peter Lorillerd Ronalds liked
perseverance in his servants. When ho,
told them to do a thing he expected
them to do it, no matter how difficult it
might be. If he sent a stableman out to
buy a certain kind of whip, he expected
the man not to return until the whip
was secured, though he should have to
visit hundred shops to get it.
There is a story about the way Mr..
Ronalds came to hire a young groom.
He was in a drug store one day, when
a shabby little boy entered.
The boy advanced boldly to the clerk,
took a small cameFs hair brush from his
pocket and said:
Smell this, an gimme 10 cents
worth. I've forgotten the name"
The clerk smiled, smelt and took down.
the iodine bottle; and Mr.. Ronalds en-
gagged the ingenious and resourceful boy
on the spot.
