However.

Portland. Maine. Sept. 14.-Al.
though the Republicans came of victo-
rious in the State election today, Bert
NJ. Fernald. Of Portland, being chos-
en- Governor over Obadiah Gardiner,
OF Rockland, the Democrats had the
satisfaction Of seeing the normal Re-
publican plurality cut to less than TO-
600 votes. for the first time; in a Pres
idential year for more than a quarter
OF century. All four Republican
candidates for Congress were elected
and for State Auditor, Charles p.
Match. Of Augusta, Republican, de-
feated his opponent At 1890 O'Clock
retrns for Governor from all the cities
and 400 towns and plantations out of
4ss gave Fernald. Republican, 68,30O,
and Gardiner, Democrat, 61.616. The
same places in 1904 gave Coob, Re-
publican, 70,Ss2, and Davis, Demo
crat, 4B,712. This shows q Republic
can loss Of I per cent and a Demo-
cratic gain Of 80 per cent. On this
basis the Republican plurality in the
State was estimated at about 5000.

A Contribution From the Steel Trust.

The Republican parade at Young
town. Ohio. last Saturday was an in
teresting affair. The number of work.
tngmen in line is estimated at from
1000 to $4,000. Most of these" the
account before us reads, were en-
pioyes Of the United States Steel
Trust and kindred corporations which
the giant monopoly controls. So as to
swell the procession the steel mills
were all closed, and the employees
each received the amount Of a days
pay as a gratuity. Besides this out
lay the workingmen were uniformed
at the expense of the trust the better
to spot them. What with the pay
and the uniforms it is estimated that
the cost Of the holiday to the steel
mills OF youngstown was not less than
$4,000 or 100000"

SLAIN AT SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Girl Stabbed by Crazy Lover While
Playing Closing Hymn.

Charlotte, N. c.. Sept. ia spe-
cial to the Observer from Newton
says that demoniacal murder was
committed near that place this morn
ing. when Miss Willie Bullinger, nine
teen years old. was stabbed to death
by Lon RAIDER. aged twenty-one.
The girl was seated at the organ
playing the closing hymn at Sunday
school when suddenly RAIDER leaped
across several benches. and, with his
pocket knife. stabbed her once in the
back and twice in the breast. She died
almost instantly.
RAIDER was arrested and is now in
the Newton jail. Some months ago
he was committed to the State League
asylum, and in his rawlings often men,
toned Miss Bullinger's name. Recent
ly he was discharged from the hos.
pital as cured.
The deed was probably prompted by
unreQuitted love. as seems to have
been well planned, as the knife used
was bought new yesterday. In jail
this afternoon RAIDER said ne killed
the girl because she was a WITCH"
