something to be wrong, he would not allow him
to drive OIL, but took him in charge and came
back to see ABOUT the case. The rogue had a

A Doubtful Statement.

PHILADELPHIA, April 90 The evening Herald
publishes statement that during the past two or
three days President Hayes has requested that a
number of prominent members of the democratic
party of This city should meet selected represen-
tatve of the President for the purpose of discuss
ing the various propositions the President had to
make.
President Hayes has proposed to the democrats
here as the entering wedge, because Mr.. Randall
resides in this city, and because that gentleman is
likely to be next Speaker Of the House. Mr..
Hayes proposes
First-1hat there shall be 70 extra session of
Congress
Second-That he be given assurance Of the lead
ers OF the democratic House that if he obtained
money to pay the army until December, Congress
VIII make the appropriation early in the December
session. and the administration will not be subject
to attack for its action in tiding over the army
without an appropriation.
Third-That in compliance with the two former
agreements, the Sec'y of War, by the Presidents
direction, will withdraw all the troops from the
South and allow the people to govern themselves
by civil power, without fear or molestatiou from
the military.
1t is understood the President desires to avoid
an extra session because there will then be con.

As the freight train was passing Winthrop street
on Friday forenoon, the truck team of Mr.. John
Mcclure was considerably demoralized by com.
ing in contact with the engine. In attempting to
cross the track when the train was close at hand
the horse stumbled, and before he could recover
his pins, the train was upon him, and dragged
him along rather unceremoniously, but without
fatal injury. The wagon and harness were con-
siderably damaged and left one side of the
track and the horse on the other. The driver es-
capped without injury. Had the train been under
full speed the result would have been more dis
astrous. 1t is always safest to "look out for the
engine while the bell rings"
We learn that Miss Eliza Davenport, one of our
aged and respected citizens, died suddenly at her
residence on Academy street, at abont twelve
O'Clock Friday noon. She had been in her usual
health during the forenoon, and it is supposed her
death was caused by apop!exy, or disease of the
heart.
Several cases have been before our police court
this week, one on complaint for assault, and an
other for stealing horse and carriage of consid-

Railroad Accident.

The Bangor express train on the Eastern rail-
road collided with the Sangus Branch trails near
Lynn depot at 65j this evening, owing to mis-
placed switch. The engine and baggage car of
the express and one of Ssngus train was
wrecked, the damage being $500. Only one of
two hundred passengers on the express train was
injured and that one not seriously. The Sangus
train bad just been the side track to let the
express pass, aud the swi oh had not been chang
ed. The express coming at fun speed, suddenly
swerved upon the side track. Engineer VIM
Paul put on air brakes revei sed engine and with
fireman jumped off, receiving severe injuries But
for the prompt application of the air brakes. the
loss of life must have been very great.
