New York, July 16.-Asked yester-
day how the 900 members of the Re-
form Club stood on the nomination of
Bryan, Everett V. Abbot, chairman of
the building committee. replied:
You would have to ask the members
individually how they are going to
vote. but they stand Disguised. AS for
me. l think l shall take to the woods.
| shall not vote for protectionist and
do not believe in saving the De-
mocracy by voting for Republican.
So. l shall probably throw my woke
away. Probably, a number Of menu
bers of the Reform Club will vote for
Taft.
although the majority of our menu
bers are Democrats, we have never
taken a partisan stand, but have stood
for the ideas which Grover Cleveland
embodied. In the campaign we shall
work principally on the lines Of tariff
revision, our committee having declar-
ed practically for free trade" j.

1T is my opinion said Mr.. Jen-
kins. that Bryan will lose Maryland
by 10000 majority. He has never won
in Maryland, and 1 see no reason why
he should carry it this year. His cleo

steam roller tactics he used to crush

late this afternoon at Church. Md, of
Caleb Watson a negro farm hand, the
authorities who are investigating the
strange murder of William Williams.
the aged farmer who lived just over
the state line in Maryland and whose
body was found hanging to tree, the
authorities who are investigating the
case believe that they have made some
progress Interest is added to the ar
rest because the negro was employed
by John Vessel, son-in-law of Will
liams, as a farm hand and because he
assisted his employer in a search for
Williams all day Monday. He will be
closely questioned in an attempt to
ascertain his movements between SAL
urday night and Tuesday morning. On

tween himself and Elizabeth Wells.
aged 13 years, daughter of Samuel
Wells tenant on Williams farm. One
theory advanced is that the aged
farmer was murdered by some one OPP
posed to the marriage and the authOri-
ties are investigating along this line.
In the investigation the officials have
met with contradictory statements, es-
pecially as to the time Williams was
last seen alive. John Vessel said that
Williams was last seen on Saturday,
but a neighbor today declared that
he saw Williams on Wessers farm on
Monday. Samuel Wells, father of the
13-year-Old girl whom Williams de-
sired to marry, was questioned today.
He said that his daughter Elizabeth
was not able to read or write and that
Williams had never given the girl
anything but brown wedding dress.

some times ago that Williams was in

Wells, Me-, July 16.-After burning
two small dwelling houses. a barn
some other buildings and a large guam
tity Of manufactured lumber, the for
two days between the Western Divi-
sion of the Boston & Maine Railroad
and the main turnpike in Wells. took
a change Of direction this evening and
swept toward a large area of timber
land in the direction of North Berwick.
M houses or other buildings are in
the path of the flames, as they are now
headed, but a strip Of woods five miles
in length seems likely to be destroyed.
The total damage of the fire today is
estimated at $4,000. the largest part OF
which falls on Chesley 4 Mcdaniel OF
Darlington, N. H., who had 100000 feet
of manufactured lumber destroyed.
The two houses burned today were
located on a side street close to the
Second Congregational church and not
far from the turnpike The cottage of
Charles A. Illsley occupied by Daniel
White was burned. as was also the
dwelling house OF Arthur BuZZell, to-
gether with barn. carriage house and
other out buildings. Mr.. Illsley esti-
mated his loss at $780, He had no in
surance. The Buzzell house and other
buildings were worth $1,000 and were
insured for $3.50. The Second Congrega-
tional church caught fire several times
from the sparks, as did also the sta
bles of the Ocean View hotel on the
main turnpike, but neither of these
buildings suffered any serious damage.
Smoke from the fire covered the en-
tire stretch of Wells Beach and many
of the summer residents packed up
their goods and prepared to leave at a
moments notice, as it was feared at
one time that the sparks would set
new fires in the village. Some of the
summer people, annoyed by the clouds
of smoke which have been rolling over
the resort for the last week, have al
ready departed in disgust. Tonight
there was thought to be no immediate
danger to any of the Wells Beach resi-
dences until there should be shift in
the wind. The fire was still raging vio-
lently, however, in the woods in the
Fully 500 men employed by the Bos
ton & Maine Railroad battled with the
flames today and tonight. They were
brought in special working trains to
the scene from various points along
the line of the railroad and will be fed
and housed in the vicinity until the
fire is extinguished.
Under the direction of William A.
Merritt. superintendent of the Western
Division of the Boston & Maine, and
Roadmaster Curtis a determined effort
is to be made now to suppress this fire
and others which have caused so much
trouble and damage along the line of
the railroad in the last fortnight
While the fire was threatening Wells
Beach, apparatus was sent early this
morning from Kennebunk and York
and proved to be of material assist
ance. The York company with it's ap-
paratus was called away after short
time. however, on account of the
breaking out of fire at Bald Head
in York. The latter fire did little DAM
age.
A portable saw mill located near the
Kennebunkport Town house was burn
ed during the day 1t was owned by
Oscar w. Hubbard of Wells and was
valued at $4,000. Tonight forest fire
was still burning in Ogunquit near the

SQUARE mile of timber land was swept

is still smouldering. no further DAM
age is feared.
Only one building was in the path
of the flames, the barn Of the Mckay
farm, which caught fire. The blaze,
however, was subdued before it had
done much harm to the building.
