Yesterday was one of the coolest days of the
season. The mercury at twelve o'clock noon
indicated but nine degrees above zero. Per-
haps the corn husks out West, which were
said to be very thick, and the birds and
beavers whose operations indicated a very Sc
we're winter, may prove correct weather
prophets after all. The best way, however,
is to submit to the weather rs it comes

FrightfuI Accident In Gsrdlner-A Man Crushed
by Machinery.


Oakman Lunt engineer in the new mill of
the Copsecook Paper Company in Gardiner
was yesterday, while engaged between the
engines telling on belt, caught by an up
right shaft, and after being revolved around
among the machinery dozen or more times,
was caught by the arm and jammed in the
machinery in most horrible manner. Be
fore he could be extricated from this position
a wheel had to be lifted and the belt or shaft
ing cut, taking some fifteen minutes. Every
part of his body was most terribly mangled.
After being taken out he lived about one hour
in great agony. Both arms and both legs
were badly crushed one Of the latter in sew
eral places-in fact the whole lower portion
of the body was completely crushed. Mr..
Lunt was about % years of age. He has been
in the employ of the paper company for near
ly ten years, and was trustworthy man, re-
spectcd by all. He leaves little motherless
boy to mourn his loss. The sad event sent
a thrill of sorrow through the entire commu-
nifty at Gardiner.

On Wednesday evening last couple of
young men belonging in this city, set out for
a jolly sleigh ride. One of them owned a
sleigh, and they proceeded to cast their eyes
about for horse. An old gentleman who
owns such an animal, and who is sometimes
given to ''crooking the elbow" consented to
let the young men have the use of his horse
provided he could accompany them on their
pleasure excursion. According they hitched
up. After arriving at their destination, they
stabbed their team and started out to find that
which both exhilerates and intoxicates. When
it came time to retrace their steps homeward
the owner of the nag, from frequent potations,
had become unreasonable and absolutely re-
fused to have his horse taken from the stable.
The young men plead earnestly, but in vain,
the heart of the old man had turned to stone.
The upshot of the matter was, that they put
themselves in the horses place inside the
shafts and started for home, dragging the
sleigh after them, reaching home early next
morning, tired but wiser boys.
