Augusta Gives Taft P|u-
ra|ity Of 592 Votes.
Seven Out Of Eight Wards Are
In Republican Column.
Ward 4 Lost BY the Small Margin
of Three Votes.

The city of Augusta in the election
Tuesday did herself proud as the cap
ital city of the state OF Maine. by
giving to Taft and Sherman. the NOM
inces of the Republican party, IA plu-
rality OF 592, compared with Il plural
ity OF $50 to Roosevelt and Fairbanks
in 1904. The vote yesterday was Taft
1880, Bryan 5SS, Chain IS, Debs 81,
HiSgen rs.
Compared with the election of 1904,
tire results show a Republican gain
that Is remarkable and should cause
the heart of every Augusta Republican
to glow with pride There was a great
er interest shown this year, also, which
is proved by the fact that Democrats
and Republicans together polled 1918
votes in 1904, while on Tuesday the
two parties together cast 1853 in this
city, a gain of 450.
The mayor and board of aldermen
met at SIS at the aldermen's room to
canvass the returns, and their path
| was not strewn with roses.
The returns were received at City
| hall, where President c. S. Hlchborn
of the Board Of Trade officiated accept
ably, large crowd being present. The
| bulletins in the Journal office window
were watched by scores throughout the
| evening.
4 difficulty was met when the re-
| turns for Ward We're reached. the
election officers having given IS votes
for Randall, the first Republican cleo
tor, and Sc for Shaw, the first Demo-
cratic elector, but none for the re-
naming electors on the Republican
ard Democratic tickets. Nor was this
| all. One Socialist vote was recorded
above tile names of the candidates for
! electors, and could not be counted, al
! though the voter had without doubt
cast a correctly marked ballot.

further surprise was received, the re-
turns reversing the figures announced
at the close of the polls, which gave
the ward to Taft by a plurality of
three. The returns read, Randall, etc,
| So: Shaw, etc, Sc.
The figures below are therefore I'M
official, but are approximately correct
as a recount would set the matter
straight. no doubt being raised as tc
the legality of the ballots.
The following is the vote by wards in

CHELSEA CASE.
Fred Davis Will Be Ar

Charged With the Murder Of

Prisoner Apparently unconcerned
And Not Worrying.

Fred Davis, the. man who was found

force, and was after being subjected
to 4 searching examination by the au-

charging him with the murder Of
George Durham of Chelsea. will be ar
raiGncd before Judge Maher Of the Au-
gusta municipal court at Q o'clock this
morning.
The arraignmcnt yesterday morning
was deferred because of the fact that
Tuesday was election day. 1t is prob
able that the proceedings Of the court
this morning will be brief, and that a
continuance of the hearing will be TAX
on until after the ccroner's inquest.
which will be held at the Town house
in Chelsea at 2.30 Thursday afternoon.
Davis has secured the services of Will

counsel in his case
Davis is still confined at the police
station. where he has been since he
was brought into the city Monday
nvening and takes his imprisonment
with apparent unconcern, feature
which has been noticeable in his be-
havior from the first. Even at the time
Of his roundup in the Togus woods,
when the officers came upon him with
the woman in the camp by Togus
stream he showed no sign of excite
ment. asked no questions, and to all
Intents and purposes was the least in
terested member of the party. This dis
interestedness was also noticed at the
time Dunham's body was found.
He was the same during his examin-
alton by the authorities Monday even
ing. and during the times that he was
left in the headquarters room in
charge of an officer while the Chamber
lain woman was being questioned by
the authorities in the court room, he
Betrayed no nervousness whatever and
eemed inclined to catch nap or two
if possible while sitting in his chair.
His manner at such times was one of
extreme WEAKNESS and was no doubt
genuine.

Deputy Sheriff Fletcher made a trip
to Chelsea Tuesday, where it IS under
stod that he secured some additional
evidence that is expected to be of val
ue in the case. The people in the local
ity where the tragedy occurred speak
freely regarding the parties whose
names arc mentioned in connection
herewith and there remains but little
doubt that feelings fer from friendly
existed between Davis and Dunhen,
one reason therefor being that Davis
is said to have accused Durham of
stealing some liquor belonging to the
orner and which was hidden in the
woods.
Although as might be expected the
Ulcers will not give out a great deal

PIANIST AT SIX.
Little Colored Girls Wonderful Play
ing on Ancient Instrument.

Gertrude Irene Sutton is a clever colored
child, six years Old whose ability to play
! the piano is creating quite a sensation
in the neighborhood in which she lives.
Her instrument is equally remarkab BILE
in its way. being of the make of 1872 1t
probably cannot be duplicated in WASH
ington outside the National Museum. The
two together make an interesting COM
bination.
The child takes her precocious gift as
a matter of course. and plays nimbly
with the antique keys just as she plays
with her roller skates and with the wax
doll that sits in state on the parlor sofa
Her parents are very proud of their lit
tie daughter. but they do not force her
talent and they are waiting until the
childs hands are large enough to stretch
an octave before putting her under a
teacher.
She has never had lesson and her Sc
lectionS are the simple tunes of the day,
with preference for the songs she learn
ed at the kindergarten. hymns and pa
triotic airs. Her tiny fingers fly over the
keyboard with sure touch, sharps and
flats seem to make no trouble. and the
small performer plays her little pieces
with an excellent idea of time.
Gertrude first gave evidence of her
musical gift at four years of age. when
her instrument was toy piano, and

careful training she will become a re-
markable artist though her present am
bition is to become a music teacher.
The piano, which is a treasure from an
antiquarian's point of view, is of a long
and narrow make with six slender curved
legs and with fretwork and panels OF
satiny time mellowed saffron wood, set
in the darker surface of the body of the
fns trument. Beneath the tive-octave key
board are three drawers with knobs OF
polished wood.
Mrs Sutton says the piano has been in
the possession of her family about fif-
teen years, when it was bought from
two old maiden ladies" in Baltimore.

Although the development of Glasgow
has taken place within the last two hun
dred years it's existence began in the
middle ages. A bishopric was established
here in the twelfth century. st. Mungo,
who converted this part of Scotland to
Christianity. began his missionary labors
here in .E;9. and there must have been a
settlement upon the river banks at that
time. Glasgow has also been the scene
of frequent historic incidents. Sir
William Wallace once overcame> an Eng
lsh garrison and took possession. The
soldiers fed to Boutwell, to wait for re-
Inducements and a battle was fought in
the neighborhood soon after which de-
cided the fate of the kingdom During
the prosecutions of the Covenanters
Glasgow was the headquarters of ClaVer-
house the cruel commander of the king $
forces. In 1879 the city was occupied by
Prince Charlie and the tattered remnants
of his disheartened army in retreat. From
time to time during the centuries other
important events have occurred here, but
they are all dwarfed by the supreme I'M
portance of the industrial development
and the commercial enterprise OF the peo-
pie.
Growth of Glasgow.
In 177J the population was 5000 In
1901 it was ST.. 600. One hundred years later
the census of 1901 returned 904,MS and it
is a popular belief that the city has since
added to itself a sufficient number of
strangers to make million.
The coat-of-arms of Glasgow shows
tree bird and fish with ring in its
mouth concentrating the three most
notable miracles wrought by it's patron
saint. The motto upon the escutcheon
Is Lord let Glasgow flourish by the
preaching of Thy Word" but people are
so busy nowadays that they have only
time enough to say. Let Glasgow flour
ish." Notwithstanding the fact that more
than five hundred churches. mostly Pres
byteran, are well filled with worshipers
every Sunday.
