day morning the iuhabitaLte d our town were alarmed
at Lb* um. that II wry Cut or, I.,rtairly o ,tler in the
Crown Hotel yard, but 1/.4 lay employed at Slur-
minder Newton had been (ould quite dead on the
railway between the bridge over tie St our and the
bridge spanning the highway leading to Wimborne.
The remain. of dammed were found by • young man
walking down the line, and he at one, gave an alarm
and procured aesistince, when the mutilated remaius
were oonveyed up the line to the Hallway Hotel to
await an inquest, fixed to be bald on Monday, before
Mr. A. H. Atkinson, coroner.
Rgrtagurwr or di ALDSINIAM HODGES —The
retirement of this venerable gentleman from the Bland-
ford Town Council, a• briefly reported in our last issue,
at the advanced age of 94 years, and after 60 years'
service in the Council, calla tar in ore than an ordinary
announcement. Mr. Anstell Bymes Hodges filled tile
municipal chair for the first time an far luok as 1841,
seven years after the Municipal Reform Bill was
~gagd. lig wag, also Mayor of Blandford Is the years
1853 and 1884. It falls to the lot of very few to retire
after 50 years of uninterrupted municipal work, and
still harder would it be to bud many living who filled
a civic chair 42 years ago, although here in Blandford
Mr. Alderman Daniell woe Mayor of Blandford in
1838.
