shower passed over the town of Dexter,
Maine, last Friday afternoon, the light
ming striking in many places. A house
and barn belonging to Mr.. William Arno,
about three miles from Dexter Village

damaging the house about 800. Mrs.

SPECUL LATIONs CONCERNING GENERAL
SICKLEs' MIssIoN.-The State Depart
ment. as we'll as the members of the Gu
ban Junta, is looking anxiously for intel
ligence from Gen. Sickles, our Minister
to Spain. Whatever may have been the
nature of the instructions which he re-
ceived prior to his departure, there seems
to be general impression in well-inform-
ed circles that they had some bearing
upon Cuba, but precisely to what extent
or in what respect it is impossible to as
certain. The officials at the State De-
partment are studiously reticent on the
question. The Cubans only say that
they know the Sickles mission has moth
ing to do with the annexation of Cuba.
Mr.. Lcmus, the Cuban Envoy, probably
knows something about the matter, but
he and his Secretary do not deem it poll
tic lust now to divulge anything. What
ever the scheme may be, Secretary Fish
is understood to be the author of 1t, and
should it prove successful in solving the
Cuban difficulty, he will be entitled to
whatever credit there may be III originat-
ing it. Minister Siekles, it is stated, was
expected to act promptly, and should no
unex pected obstacle be thrown in his
way, news of an important character may
be received from him at an early day.

Two MEN BURNED TO DEATH BY
MOLTEN IRON. = The Lewiston Pa.)
True Democrat of recent date said:
On Wednesday of last week, soon after
the l o'clock whistle blew for the men to
commence work at Freedom Iron and
Steel Works, the whistle blew an alarm.
On reaching the cupola-room it was
found that the bar upon which rested the
supports of the bottom of the cupola
which was in use, and which at the time
contained five tons of molten iron nearly
ready to run out, had broken, and that
James A. Junkin, furnace builder, and
George Bearly, his helper, both OF this
place, who were engaged in making re-
pairs under the cupola, had been caught
in the plunging mass of molten iron
and cinders, and terribly burned.
Mr. Junkin ran out of the Gu
pc a-room, followed by Mr.. Bearly,
their clothes in flames. Some men at
work in the rear of the engine house first
saw them, and did all they could to
smother the flames, and relieve them Of
their burning clothes. Physicians were
sent for at once, and in the meantime ev-
erything was done that was possible to
alleviate the sufferings of the injured
men. They were removed to their homes
during the afternoon, and Mr.. Bearly,
the surface of whose body was burned to
a crisp almost from head to foot. died the
same evening. Mr.. Junkin, whose inju-
ries were chiefly confined to his legs,
from his hips down, fingered until Mon
day, when death ended his sufferings.
Mr.. Junkin was about forty-two years Of
age, and leaves family. Mr.. Bearly
was son of Daniel Bearly, aged twenty
six, and unmarried. Mr.. Junkin had
taken out life insurance policy for
$1,000 only in February last.

good, if not q little better than any
thrown during the day; but as there
was no means of accurately measuring
the height of the respective streams OF
this engine or the Washington, and as
good Judges were unable to distinguish
any difference, we can see no necessity or
possibility for any accurate comparison.
Suffice it to say that both engines are
good ones, and are credit and honor to
the communities in which they are
owned.
Boxer Engine Company, after the with
drawal from the well west of the Court
House, placed their machine there. The
Boxer, though usually behaving well,
seemed then to be out of order, and not
withstanding that she threw several fine
streams, it was apparent that she sucked
air." and no efforts of her officers or men
could make her come up to their own or
their friends expectations.
This ended the trial of apparatus, after
which the Washington Engine Com
pany was escorted to the depot by the
Ethan Aliens and Capitols, and departed
for home. Shortly after eight o'clock, the
Capitols were in turn escorted to the de-
pot, and little before ten the Rutland
boys took their departure.
The number of uniformed men in the
procession, exclusive of engineers or in
vited guests, was as follows: Capitol

At no previous time has there been
