when short distance this side of Lake Sebago,
young man about 20 years of age, named
Clinton futile, who was standing on the top of
one of the passenger cars, was struck by the
bridge near Otter Pond, and received a terrible
injury His skull was crushed in, and large
amount of blood and brains remained upon the
top OF the car. As soon as the accident was
discovered the train was stopped and every pos
sible attention shown to the injured man. Two
physicians, who happened to be present, did all
that it Was possible to do for him under the cir
cumstances, and when the train arrived in this
city, DR.. Tewksbury was sent for who had the
man removed to his home ON Summer street.
futile had been full of his pranks all the way
down. and climbed to the top of the car in
moment of thoughtlessness 1t was indirect
violation of the rules of the road, as even the
employees are strictly forbidden to go on top OF
the passenger cars when train is moving, and
no blame can be attached to the company or
train men. The train was very heavy, about
twenty cars being attached to the engine, and
but for this awful accident the excursion would
have had no unpleasant feature. At IL

siderable interest is manifested by the Knights
Templar in the proposed excursion to Montreal
and Quebec tomorrow, and new names have
been added to the list There is promise that
q very strong battalion will march to the cars
tomorrow afternoon. The committee have
made every arrangement necessary to good
time. The agent of the Pullman cars has
dered down to Portland two of his best carri-
ages this afternoon, for the exclusive use of the
excursionists, which will render their ride doub-
ly pleasant At Montreal and Quebec it is ex-
pected that the visitors VIII receive the cour-
tesies of the brethren, and everything done to
make their short stop in these fine cities very
agreeable. The moderate expense of the trip
is great inducement to join the company, the
committee having arranged for very low
rates for travel and hotel accommodations.
Those who join the parry will get more for
their money, undoubtedly, than they could ex-
pect to have should they imake an excursion of
the same magnitude on their individual respon-
