An old fashioned Republican majority
in the banner Republican county Of the
state was forecasted by the enthusiasm
manifested in the Oxford County Re-
publican convention which met at the
court house last Wednesday. This was
manifested in all its proceedings, but
especially in its greeting to its chairman,
Hon. John P. Swasey of Canton, candi-
date for congress in the Second District,
and in its reception of the eloquent
speech in which he set forth the prin-
ciples of Republicanism in accepting the
chair.
Many of the delegates and visitors
were on the ground the night before,
and it was evident that more or less per-
sonal work was being done in behalf OF
the candidates in the few cases where
tQ6ro was TO % COuCeSl III tuo COu-
vention. For an hour or two before the
opening of the convention Wednesday
morning, there was also lively scene
in the corridors and offices at the court
house, where there was crowd of
representative Oxford County Republi-
cans, greeting friends and acquaintance
and talking over the situation.
Some of the delegates were little
late about getting in with their creden-
tails, and as the county committee wait
ed for all to report, it was 1885 when
Chairman B. A. Swasey of the COM
mittee called the assembly to order and
Frederick r. Dyer, secretary of the COM
mittee, read the call.
The assembly then stood while Rev.
A. T. McWhorter of South Paris offered
brief but fervent prayer.
The chairman then annouced as the
temporary organization of the cOnven-
ton, chairman, Hon. John p. Swasey of
Canton; secretaries, George L. Wadlin
of Canton and A. r. Hill of Brownfield.
Chairman B. A. Swasey of the county
committee then, with appropriate refer
ences to the campaign which terminated
in the Lewiston convention of May ~,
introduced Hon. John P. Swasey of

COle.Page,

The west parlor of the Island View
House at Gorham, N. H., was the scene
of very pretty wedding last Wednesday
afternoon when Miss Harriet Louis Page
became the bride of Archibald Louis
Cole.
The marriage was performed in the
bay window, the lace curtains of which
we're covered with daisies, and from the
tops were suspended festoons Of ever
green which dropped at either side of the
window and were loopsd back by huge
bows of white ribbon. About the room
we're numerous bouquets OF wild flowers
gathered by the students of the eighth
and ninth grades who were anxious to
assist In the arrangements being made
for the marriage of their teacher OF
whom they were very fond. The bride
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Page of Bucksport, and has been teach
or in Gorham for the past two years.
Mr.. Cole is the son of Mr.. and Mrs. j. B.
Cole of Paris.
About thirty guests had assembled
when Rev. Dr. I. P. Coddington, pastor
of All Souls Universalist church in Cor.
ham, took his place. Miss Helen Cole
and her brother, Ralph Cole, entered the
room followed by the bride and groom.
The bride was gowned in white and car.
ried white roses. The bridesmaid also
wore white.
After the ceremony as the bride left
the room shower of confetti covered
her. She proceeded, followed by bel
bridal party, to the opposite parlo'
where punch and waters we're served by
Misses Hazel Baron, Ada Meager ant
Elizabeth Beaudette. After short re-
ception at which Misses Grace 1. Wheeler
and Winifred Mclaughlin acted a.
ushers, the bride left the room to pre-
pare to 60 away. The automobile IL
which they were to leave appeared, ant
the brides former students decorated |
while waiting. As she appeared In th
doorway shower of confetti greete'
her. Mr.. and Mrs. Cole we're taken t,

who was out for walk with his family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morton were not injured
beyond little shaking up. The horse
got number of scratches, and the
wagon and harness were slightly damag-
cd. The auto did not stop.
The new fire escape on Odd Fellows
Block was put in place last week. 1t is
regulation fire escape, with landings
reached through door Opening from
paraphernalia room at the northeast
corner of the building on the third floor,
and through the window next the stage
on the north side of the ball on the sec
ond floor. There are two runs OF iron
stairs, wide enough for comfortable pas
sage of one person, with treads four
inches and half wide. The lower run
OF stairs comes within a few feet of the
ground, and below that there is short
iron ladder. 1t looks decidedly more
practical than the old ladder escape,
though that is to remain to give an adj
ditional means of egress.
As was briefly mentioned in the Demo-
crat last week, there will be no picnies
allowed in Penley's Grove this year.
This condition of things is the result OF
more than foolish abuse of privileges.
The boys and others have destroyed and
damaged things so badly at the grove
that the owner, Mr.. c. F. Penley, is
compelled to take this action to protect
himself. This grove is the prettiest pic
nc spot in the near vicinity, and in fact
about the only one within easy reach oil
the village. Mr.. Penley has not only
left 1t open to the use of the public for
number of years, but has maintained
gates, seats aud other conveniences FOL
the use of the public, all at his own ex
pense. Thus the grove has been in ef
feet what it ought to be in fact-a pub
lie pleasure ground. To abuse it under
those conditions is an injury not only t
the perpetrators of the mischief, but e
every one else in the community. Nov
Mr.. Penley informs the Democrat tina
any one found trespassing there in an.
way will be prosecuted as the law pro
yides.

2-CENT RATE ILLEGAL ]! | i!

Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania
Hands Down Decision Declaring
Ratio Law Eancted by Legislature
of That State Unconstitutional
: Court Says Corporation is Entitled
to Fair Profit.
Philadelphia, special-The 2-cent
railroad fare law now in force in
Pennsylvania was declared unconsti-
tutional by the State Supreme Court,
which handed down an opinion affirm
ing the decision Of the Common Pleas
Court Of Philadelphia, rendered last
September.
The vote of the court was four to
three, the dissenting opinion being
handed down by Justice Mestrezat.
The 2-cent fare law was enacted by
The last Legislature, the bill passing
both Houses by a practically unani-
nous vote. The railroads fought the
bill vigorously and after it became q
law the Pennsylvania Railroad insti-
tuted suit in the Common Pleas Court,
If Philadelphia, restraining the Coun-
sy Of Philadelphia from enforcing the
law. The railroad contended that the
law was unconstitutional in that it
was unreasonable and con6scatory,
and the court in decision sustained
the company's contention. The Coun-
ty of Philadelphia then took the case
to the State Supreme Court.
Other railroads brought similar
action in several counties Of the
State, but the Pennsylvania suit
was the only one to reach the SUI
prone Court.
