The Wing says that on Friday afternoon
at Ingalls, pond, about two miles from West
Baldwin, on the P. & o. Railroad, a. they
were taking up with an engine tive car loads
OF iron rails, the earth gave way and landed
the cars, engine and tender on their beam
ends in the pond. At the time of the acct
dent about twenty persons we're on the cars,
but all escaped unhurt except one little girl,
who was badly injured.
The body of the woman found dead by the
roadside in the vicinity of Bangor, on Tues
day, has been identified as that of Julia
Paradis, who formerly resided at Oldtown.
The Wing says that she has always been a
hard working woman. Two or three years
ago, she had some difficulty with her husband,
Frederick Paradis, and had left him; since
then they had not lived together, of late she
had been at work in boarding house at
Basin Mills Orono. She has been in the
habit of drinking liquor, some; but was
never known to drink to excess. No marks
of violence were about the body, and the
cause her death is unknown. 1t is sur
missed that she started to 90 home Tuesday
night, was fatigued-perhaps intoxicated, and
became bewidered, lost her way and passed
the night in the open air. Morning found
her unable to proceed, and her strength de-
sorting her, she fell and died Of her exposure
in the midst of the terrible storm then raging.
When found, her face lay in pool of water,
and it may be that falling on her face, she was
unable to help herself and slowly drowned.
The ground the Jury took is indicated in the
verdict, which was that the deceased came
to her death by exposure to the storm be-
tween the hours of and II o'clock on the
forenoon of Tuesday, March 2lst; or from
some cause unknown to the Jury
