Railroad Accident on the Maine Central.
One Person Instantly Killed and Another
Dies in Consequence of Injuries Re-
ceived.
NONE OF THE PASSENGERS INJURED

| NONE OF THE PASSENGERS INJURED.
The noon passenger train from this city
for Boston was thrown from the track yes
terday afternoon, near Freeport, by the
breaking of the forward axle of the tender.
The train consisted of nine cars, and was
running at the usual rate of twenty-five
miles an hour. One baggage car, the smok-
| ing car and two passenger cars were thrown
| from the track and were badly smashed.
George Chase of Skowhegan, baggage mas
ter, was instantly killed. Albert Barron, who
has resided in this city for about year, a
brakeman, had his leg crushed. He was taken
to Brunswick and died last evening.
l.. A. Larrabee of Skowhegan, a brake
man, had his leg broken.
Gee. Tarbox, express messenger, had one
finger jammed.
The Pullman car was uniDjured.
When the accident took place the engineer
instantly gave the alarm, and the speed was
pretty well checked, but the wheels of the
broken part worked under the baggage and
other cars throwing them from the track
Inside the baggage car were the baggage
master and two express agents Chase
started for the door and got partly out, when
the car tipped over, crushing him and killing
him instantly. Barron was crushed between
the baggage car and passenger car, and was
compelled to have one of his legs cut off be-
fore being relieved from that position.
As the cars were badly shattered, the fact
is strange one that scarcely passenger was
injured. There might have been some
scratches or bruises, but nothing serious has
been reported. Three cars were left at the
scene of the accident which will be brought
up to-day.
Coroner Hall of Portland, and Railroad
Commissioner Corser summoned jury to in
vestgate the cause of the accident, and re-
port will be made in Brunswick this morn
ing.
No blame is attached to any one.
On learning of the accident train was at
once made up and despatched from Bruins
wick, for the scene of disaster, with phys-
clans and railroad men, and another train
came from Portland.
The evening train from Portland was de-
layed several hours, arriving here at eleven
o'clock. The night train from Bangor went
through, passing the evening train at Gar
diner

The democracy hold their State conven-
ton at Granite Hall this forenoon at eleven
o'clock. The convention will be called to
order by Gen. James II. Butler, Chairman of
the State Committee. Up to late hour last
night the committee were undecided in maxi
ing a selection for President of the conven-
ton. There are several prominent candi-
dates, among them, James c. Madigan, Geo.
Walker of Machias, and A. s. Rice of Rock
land At the conclave of the democracy,
held at their headquarters, the Mansion
House, last evening, the subject matter of
the resolutions was discussed somewhat.
The nomination of c. z. kimball of Port
land, for candidate for governor, will be quite
unanimous The character of the platform
is in doubt. The cold liners" do not seem
to relish the "new departure doctrine, and
will bring their forces against it in conven-
ton if forced to do so by the young de-
mocracy.

Mr. Summer Whitney of Presque Isle, sold
last week to A. P. Haywood of Houlton a
four years old colt of his own raising, for
$1,000.
The Mail says that young man named
Laforest Avery, of Waterville, was arraigned
before Justice Heath for an assault committed
last week upon Mr.. Isaac T. Savage. He in
vited Savage to go to place where they
drank together, and on their way back Avery
fell behind Savage and gave him a blow over
the head with a club, that knocked him down.
He then fled, and left him to recover and get
home. The blow, or blows, had cut bad
cash on the top of his head, and inflicted
severe wound on one side. Avery was after
ward found at the house of his father, east
endsof Ticonic Bridge. He said at the ex-
animation that he had no intention to rob or
injure Savage, but had been drinking and did
not know what he was about. Mr. Savage
had recently sold his farm, and was supposed
to have money. He was sent to Jail under
5000 bonds, which he has since procured and
is at large.

+ From the Eastern argus.

An item appeared in the Seaside Oracle and
was copied by the kennebec journal stating
that DIR. George G.. Brickett, of Augusta, as
sisted by his partner, recently removed an
ovarian tumor at Sheepscot Bridge from Mrs
"A. Avertt, successfully.
The notice contains an unmitigated false
hood, by stating that .'several eminent phys
cians," without calling names, chad given
the case over as incurable." On the contra
ry, the several physicians" referred to, about
ovarian sac of Mrs. A. and drew off large
quantity of fluid. They then made, as has
been proved, a correct diagnosis and state
ment of the case; and all of them, without
exception, considered the case in all respects
favorable for operation and cure. Such dis
graceful notice as the one alluded to are usu-
ally written or prompted by the operators to
crafty the vanity and herald notoriety. 1t
happens when they have a success; but they
always fail to have noticed in print or other
wise the result of their own plumbers which
they do not wish to magnify. Coz.
Gardiner, June 8, 1917.
AS we are not responsible for the article in
the Seaside, in relation to a surgical opera
ton at Sheepscot Bridge which was copied in
the Daily Journal, we decline to reply to
Con. of Gardiner, probably one of the emil
nent physicians referred to.
We ask Con. to give his name and we will
then show that he is either a coward or that
his statement is an unmitigated .falsehood.

WHEN THE BoDY AND BRAIN are well
balanced the stomach is capable of restoring
the waste; but when the brain is large in
proportion, the stomach is incapable of sup
plying it; in other words, the expenditure is
too large for the income. Here lies the cause
of so much suffering from Diseases of the
Heart, Liver, Stomach and Lungs, which is
produced by taxing the Nervous System too
severely; and FELLOWS COMPOUND OF HY-
PoPHosrHIrEs is the only preparation known
which imparts this vitality directly, and con-
sequently the power to overcome disease.

him to answer through the Journal, if there

The most excellent features of Stone &
Murrays Circus have been fully set forth in
their advertisements which have appeared in
our columns for several days. This large
company will make their entrance into town
this morning, and give performances this af-
ternoon and evening. Our exchanges testify
universally to the wonderful degree of excel
lence which is manifested from beginning to
end in every department. The managers we
are assured have taken pains to select for the
qualification of their patrons this season, not
only the brightest stars in the American gal
axy, but introduce us to new names already
made famous in the arenas of the old world.
Added to this is the certain fact that what
they advertise they will present. Before the
afternoon performance, a little past one
o'clock, grand balloon ascension by dar-
ing aronaut and a thrilling and startling walk
on wire rope from the ground to the apex
of the pavilion by an intrepid and celebrated
female frenamulist, will take place. As some
people would like to know how the perform
ances of this company have been received in
other places, we append the following notice
from the Portland Press of last week
Stone & Murray's circus visited Portland
yesterday and gave two performances, which
were excellent in every respect. The street
display was good, far better than the average.
The ring performances are unexceptional
nothing is allowed that can shock the most
fastidious, while the horseback acts, the ac-
robatic performances, the songs, the juggling
feats and the trained animals, were admirable.
Many of the acts were new, and all were fine
ly given. The burlesques were rich and racy
and taken as a whole it is one of the best cir
cuses that has ever visited Portland, and we
commend it to our friends at the east and else
where.
