FATAL ACCIDENT AT KENNEBUNK- Our
correspondent "Avon'' writes from Kenne-
bunk that on Saturday afternoon, about 10
o'clock, Susan Hutchins, a widow, aged about
20, was run over and instantly killed by a
gravel train on the Portland Saco & Ports
mouth Railroad. She was walking along the
track, and when discovered the usual alarm
signals were made by the engineer, but as she
was very deaf she did not hear them, and the
engine and ten cars went over her body sever
ing and mangling it to a horrible degree. Her
mantle was her shroud as her scattered re-
mains were gathered up and placed in her
shawl She had been in the habit of walking
by the side of track and was often warned OF
her danger. A coroners jury was empan-
elled, with r. III. Lord, Esq, as foreman, and
after examining Mr.. Snow, the conductor, Mr..
Deering, the engineer, and all the other wit
nesses, they returned q verdict in accordance
with the above facts and generating the en-
ployees of the road from blame.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the members
of the sporting fraternity are so loud in their

The scheme of consolidating the capitals
Of Connecticut has failed for this year at
least, the Legislature having refused to sub
nit the question to the people. The project
took the form of a constitutional amendment,
and appears to have been defeated by section
al jealousies. Hartford was named for the
consolidated capital, and Of course that county
was unanimously in favor of it, white New
Haven county went solid against the propo-
sitioh. The result is natural.
TIE municipal election in Washington
takes place to day. Mayor Bowen is the reg
u'ar Republican candidate for Mayor and is

The boiling candidate is NJ. G.. Emery. The
campaign has been exceedingly warm, the
Emery party having, on their side, put folth
serious charges of official dishonesty and mis-
management against Mr.. Bowen.
ALL the different railroad companies in the
State will take passengers to the Republican
State Convention at Augusta for one fare fol

From Washington Correspondent OF Worcester Spyl
THERE IS another reason for the singularly
sptefu opposition which has sprung up
against the pending bill reported by Mr..
Lynch. That reason is found in the fact that
the president has so heartily endorsed it.
There can be no doubt that growing feeling
of opposition is being organized. The dis
affected ambition which finds its most repre-
sentative type in the name of Salmon p.
Chase, begins to work among certain knot
OF political leaders in both Senate and House.
Trumbull, Conklng, Logan, Allison and 9TH
ers are in it, Whatever comes from or is en-
dorsed at the White House, seems to obtain
at once their more or less direct opposition
