Maine Republicans and Demo

The view which is taken in other States
of the two parties in Maine, presents a
good idea OF their comparative merits.
The New York Times gives about the av-
erage sentiment when it says
The republican view OF the constlln
tional amendments, in Maine presents II
very striking contrast to that offered by
democrats. The latter was like the crop
ing of blind men leading the blind. 1t

liant and worthless.

Another victim was yesterday added
to the list of those whose blood cries
from the ground for remedy, ii not for
vengeance, against the reckless careless
ness of the managers OF the Grand Trunk
Rail Road
The track repairers left Bryant's Pond
station, on their hand car, about six
o'clock A. NJ, rs usual. to inspect The
track on the section between Bryant's
Pond and Lockc's Mills.
They had proceeded about one and a
half miles. when. just as they had passed
"a sharp curve in the road, they were sud-
denly oyertaken by locomotive, driven
at fearful rate of speed; owing to the
noise of the hand.car, they could not
hear the whistle of the locomotive, and
had NO warning OF It's approach until it
was within some six or eight rods OF
them. Three of the men jumped from
tho car and escaped, but Gaines c. Swan
and Daniel Robbins were caught by the
engine. Mr.. Swan is not considered dan
gerously, although his feet and legs are
seriously injured. Mr.. Robbins was in
stantly killed His body WAS mangled
in most horrible manner. and his head
was literally crushed to 4 jelly.
Mr.. Robbins WAS II young man of
sober, industrious habits, and leaves q
young wife and infant in Strengthened
circumstances. TO suffer, ~ well as mourn
for his loss.
Mr.. Swan was also poor man, who
depended upon his daily labor to support
large family.
We shall doubtless see it announced
through the press. that no one was to
blame. A coroner was called, but he
did not summon jury, and we await his
report.

timetable. showing the time for all
trains to pass over the DAD, for THEN pro-

the lives of five men are endangered;
one is destroyed in the most shocking
manner, aud another was disabled Tor an
indefinite period; and if no one is to
blame. it is high time that an eilectuai
remedy should be applied.

things be ?" [.

The Portland Press of Saturday, refer.
lug to the affair, says;
II tho facts stated above are correct,
the Grand Trunk Railway Company are
guilty of murder and should be present
ed to the grand jury OF Oxford County
tor Indictment for murder. The coroa.
er's jury returned verdict generating
the company from all blame, but the va
rious reports are in harmony with the
above statment. The agent of u com
pany who will send out Il special engine
or train, without giving notice by lele'
grape To the men along the line, should
be held responsible for the result OF his
carelessness.
We understand that one OF the Rail
road Commissioners, s. T. Corser. Esq.
who visited the place of The accident,
advised the holding of an inquest, and
Coroner Goddard summoned the follow
ing Jury. viz: Alden Chase. Esq, ID. j.
Libby, Stephen Rowe, ~ F. Jacobs, Ly.
man Bolster and T. n. Kicker. A hear.
ing was had, at which John Rand, Esq.
counsel for the Railroad Co., and Enoch
Foster, Jr., Esq. County Attorney. were
present. The testimony OF the engineer,
Fred. Cobb. was that he had the ght to
the road. according to special rules; that
he was under no obligation to signalize
or telegraph, or give notice except by
whistle; that he knew the section men
were ON the road; he was conveying

all day in which to go; was running at

the jury that a corporation existing under
our statutes, had Il right to make its own
rules, and if any entered their employ
ment. they did it subject to their rules,
and at their own risk.
1t is said that the engine was being run
a, n much more rapid rate than 20 miles
an hour, and that it came near running
over the station men near West Paris,
who had longer distance to see the
engine approaching. while in the case Of
the accident, owing to curve in the
road. the engine came upon the hand.
