On Tuesday as this train was running between
Lachinc Junction and Bonaventure station,
about mile from the latter point a lady who

No one on the train seemed to observe the act
The inward bound train came along soon after
and seeing the body stopped, took it aboard and
carried it to the next station. The head and

well dressed, and appeared to be about so years

NEW FEATURE IN THE BOSTON s. MAINE
DEPoT.-The Boston Sc Maine Railroad Com
pany are adding new feature to their depot
arrangements in this city. One wing of the
Walker House is being fitted up as a restau-
rant. The main room has principal entrance

ed for the use of gentlemen. A long double
counter will serve as table. AT the upper end
of the counter is a large window opening into
the ladies' room. The cooking will be done
down stairs. Communication with the upper
room is had BY means of dnmb waiter. The
whole arrangement viii be tasty and conven-
lent. G. G. Spring, of Boston, is to have
charge of this department and will take posses
sion next week.

hEETlNG OF THE MAINE CENTRAL DIREC-
ToRs.-A very full meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Maine Central Railroad was
held in this city tits natural headquarters
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. The
principal matter considered was the recon
struction of the line of the road at KendalPs
Mills, which is now interrupted at that point by
the burning of the bridge. We understand that
there was a full consultation on the subject and
plans were considered, viz:
First: To rebuild the bridge at Ken ialls
Mills.
Second: To build bridge above Colby Uni
versity, in Waterville, and connect on the east
side.
Third: To have one bridge somewhere
near the present bridge at Waterville for the
Skowhegan and Lewiston trains to cross, but
extend the road up the east side of the Kenne
bee to Kendall's Mills for all the through east
business and thus avoid crossing the Kennebec
more than once.
The opinion Of the Directors was decidedly
preferable to the last plan and it would probably
be adopted at once if the company had char
ter to enable them to build the new road They
would probably run the risk to do this could
they secure all the land for location on the pro-
posed line at any possible rates; but one citi-
zen at KendalPs Mills owns lot of land which
the road must cross that he will not sell, as he
AYERS, for that purpose if it is covered with
greenbacks foot deep" The Directors, how
ever, are assured of location if they will lay
their road out so as to make a junction mile
and a half east Of Kendalrs Mills that will be
rsiv fbo, tba
river bank.
The Direct~rs made President Rice, Vice
President Morrill and Noah Woods COM
mittee, clothed with full power, to make the
best possible connection in the hriefest possible
time.
The matter of disseminating the old Kenne-
bee road from Augusta to Kendalls Mills and
building road from Augusta to Belgrade in
stead, has never been considered moment
and is only the horid apparition of timid Ken
nebec farmers who have been frightened by oft
repeated tales of railroad perfdy
There is no doubt but what the managers
have fully determined to adopt the last plan
named if they can safely carry it into execu-
ton. II can be done in the shortest time, will
be the cheapest and most permanent.

RAILROAD esterday a.
ternoon there was "run-in" Of two
freight trains at Moundsville, whereby
several cars were wrecked, though for
tunately no one was injured.
There was second "run-ip," yester-
day, at Warrington two freight trains
causing a general smash up. We were
unable to obtain any particulars Of
these accidents, from the we'll known
cautiousness of railroad officials and
employees to tell what they know about
anything of the kind occurring on heir
roads.
We are told that the conductor OF
one of the wrecked freights had been
on duty tor forty-eight hours without
sleep and that he, perfectly worn out,
had laid down and gone to sleep when
the collision occurred.

THEATRE.-The performance OF No
body's Daughter, last night, introduced
Miss Price to us in a new role and one
in which she sustained her right to be
considered one Of the most correct and
brilliant young women on the American
stage to-day. Her representation az
Jenny Nilsson and Lady Eversleigh
left nothing to be desired. 1t was per-
lection perfected. We must not omit
to notice one Of the best bits Of charac-
ter acting we Rave seen for many day,
the Dennis Wsynham, of Mr.. Frank
Wallace. 1t was excellent and won, as
it deserved, round after round of sp-
plause. Tonight East Lynne will be
presented. We are glad to zee that the
ladies are attending these performances
in such large numbers They enjoy the
representations vastly.

they given up all notion OF having a

POLICE CouRr.-That ut never rains
but it pours" is an adsge as true as
old and a. nld as true. Here we have
been getting along with only two cases
before the Police Court in as many
weeks, when all at once out comes the
bottom of all good resolutions and the
calaboose il filed with subjects.
Owen Connery was at work on the
railroad, near the Top Mill, on Tuesday.
So was Michael Finkel. Michael is q
German and cannot speak word Of
English, so Owen couldn't hold great
amount Of conversation with him, as
he is q H;beruisn and cannot speak q
word of German. Owen thought he
ought to talk anyhow, so while Michael
was busy at work Owen turned and
struck him q blow in the butt of the
ear, 80 singing and 80 ringing that Mike
thought he had been struck by light.

Having no shekels he will labor on
the Changing for the next thirty days.
Joseph Dixon was trying to cross the
suspension bridge, on Tuesday, while
be was fearfully and wonderfully drunk.
81 and costs was what he paid for it.
VIM. Garner was charged by Mrs.
Cline with disorderly conduct. The
matter was settled when the costs were
paid.
Elizabeth Hanke charged Catharine
Croxton With keeping house of i'll
fame on Eoff street. The charge being
fully proven, the fair but frail sister
was fined $40 and costs or thirty days.
Mrs. Croxton filed counter charge
of the same nature against Elizabeth
Hapke. But the charge was not sus-
tanned aud Mrs. H. was permitted to
depart in peace.

Important statistics of, transactions for

that "all that glitters is not gold But

There we're 27,S72 citizens invited to

The number of people who minded
