in 1900. A pair of Turkish slippers and a worst
ed shawl by Mrs. Anna Bacon, attracted much
attention. Mrs. Osgood exhibited collection
of Japanese ware and Nautilus shells, elegant
ly carved 10 Calcutta, some beautiful California
moss, and many other curiosities. Some fine
needle work was shown by Mrs. Chas. Brooks.
A remarkable exhibit was coffin plate, with
an inscription to the deceased, surrounded with
hair wreath and handsomely framed. A quilt
ing party Of carved fgures!with nut shell faces,
cat in high chair with load of wood driv-
ing by, all made by boy, were both curious
and ingenious. H. X. Bradbury, ESQ dis.
played good collection of minerals. A series
of geometrical figures, drawn and colored by
Algie Dyer, were exhibited. There was a fine
display of plants. Mrs. George Boothby ex
hibited several rare specimens, and Miss Addie
Dyer a magnificent oleander. Conspicuous
among the water color paintings was sketch
of a town worthy, by Mrs. Elizabeth Murray,
to whom the discriminating committee award
ed the first premium. In the entry-way T. H.
Fletcher of West Buxton, exhibited an assort-
ment of knives and other shoemakers tools,
which looked as if they would take the first
premium anywhere.
The show may be safely declared to be de-
clded success, and the farmers of Buxton and
Hollis merit great commentator for their eff
forts in this direction, which cannot fail to be
useful to the agricultural interests of the re-
gon from the incentive afforded to the produc-
ton of fine crops and the raising OF fine breeds
OF cattle. Next years fair will be looked for
ward to with interest, and if it is as good as
this years everybody will be satisfied.

CROCHETING.


The regular passenger train over the Port
land s. Ogdensburg Railroad from Fabyan's
due in this city at noon yesterday, collided
with the freight train from this city, at Lake
Sebago, at about 1880 p. m. The accident was
the result of the !carelessness of the switchman
at the Lake Station, who left the switch so thai
the passenger train was thrown from the main
track on to the side track. The passenger train
was in charge of conductor Hartshorn and en-.
gineer Stevens The latter saw the switch was
wrongly placed and whistled down brakes, re-
versed the engine and jumped. The. distance
was too short to stop the train in and it struck
the freight train, smashing both engines badly,
the baggage car and and breaking the seats in
the drawing room car "Gov. Jewell"
Mr.. Stevens in jumping from the engine
struck his shoulder against telegraph pole
and wrenched his shoulder badly. Fred Ingra-
ham, fireman of the passenger train had his
shoulder broke, and conductor Hartshorn, who
sprang for the brake when the engineer whis-
tled had the brake broken off short in his
hand, and was thrown off his feet from the car,
dragged some distance, and badly bruised. The
express agent, Mr.. Fred Smith, was knocked
against the side of his Car, and considerably
bruised. One Of the lady passengers was badly
cut over the eye, as was gentleman who left
the train at South Windham. Several other
passengers were hurt, but none seriously as far
as known. Nobody was hurt on the freight
train.
As soon as the news was received, master
mechanic Poor went from this city with q
wrecking train. and the passenger train arriv-
ed at $40 p. m. Superintendent Hamilton was

clllor under Gov. Fairfield in 1889. That year
tnefe was much interest felt in the subject of a
railroad from Portland to the West. Col. Long
government engineer who had surveyed a
route in 1885, reported in favor of Belfast as
terminus. In 1889 on the petition of the people
OF Portland, the Legislature appropriated $4,000
fo 10, the survey of route from Portland to Lake
Champlaln, the city to pay one-fifth of the ex-
pense. VIM. l.. Dearborn, civil engineer, was
appointed by the Governor to make the survey
anu MI. webb as one of the council was ap-
p h 10 superlatend, advise andIprovi de for
the corps OF engineers. To this service he
brought the same energy and economy with
whlch ne pursued his own business, The route
CHOSEN was by Stroudwater, Saccarappa, Wind
nam ana Gray to Vermont and the Lake. Mr..
Webb accompanied the party through the en-
tire route, but from various causes the project
OF a railroad from Portland to the West was
suffered to slumber until the enterprise of the
Atlantic and ST. Lawrence Railroad was enter
ed upon in 1874
MT. Webb had held nearly all the town offices
IN succession. He was selectman.44 years
ago He was a remarkably good presiding
ofhcer, and was frequently called upon to pre-
SIDE over public meetings in the county, and
was moderatorlof the!meetings of his own town
many years. He was good financier and dur
ing the war OF the rebellion his services and aG-
vice were oftgreat value,to his town. In fact
he was always consulted ON all important mat
tiers by the town officers of all parties. He was
skilful farmer and put his own hand to the
pillow. By his industry and good management
in money matters he accumulated large prop
erty. His was the largest individual estate on
the assessors books.
Mr.. Webb always lived in his native town of
Windham, and his ancestors were among the
first settlers. His father was prominent man
in town and died in 1S49, aged 81. Mr.. Webb
leaves widow, daughters and sons, one of
whom, Lindley M. Webb, is member of the

Attempted Suicide.

On the arrival of the o'clock train over the
Boston & Maine last evening man of rather
haggard appearance was noticed to step from
one of the rear cars, and when thej passen-
gers had left the car he was noticed standing
alone at the further end of the platform. The
attention of officer jackson was attracted by
seeing him walk slowly along with one hand at
his throat and the other containing a razor
covered with blood. Upon going nearer the
officer recognized him as Mr. j. B. Waddell
cobbler residing in this city.
Officer Jackson asked him what the tronble
was, and he replied that he thought some one
was going o shoot hin. and so he thought he
would take his life As he spoke he removed
his hand and revealed CHASTITY wound in the
throat He said he had just arrived from Bos-
ton and his wife was with him. Further talk
which he made revealed the fact that he was
insane. Officer Morse was called and the man
was taken to the police station, where DR..
Brooks was called and dressed the wound. He
found cut about five inches in length and
quite deep. The wound was sewed up and al
though the man had lost much blood, he was
as comfortable as could be expected.
His wife, who it was found resided on
Danforth street, was sent for to attend to her
husband. She appeared very strange when
told of the affair and refused stoutly to go and
see him. She said that there was reason why
the deed was committed, but she did not in
tend to tell what it was. She said that he had
been insane for some time, and on Monday she
took him to Boston to place him in the insane
asylum, and returned at night on the boat
thinking tn at her husband would be admitted.
She remarked that she would not crafty this
city by sending him to Augusta. The Massa-
chusetts authorities evidently found that he be-
longed in this state and re turned him.
The officers at the station say that Waddell
is dissipated man and has drunk very hard the
past summer, and has been several times
warned that he was injuring himself. 1t is
thought that he had become discouraged and
had brooded over his troubles until he had be-
came insane enough to commit the deed which
almost took his life.

OCTOBER CIVIL TERM, 1877, sYMoNDs, j.. PRE-
SIDING.
WEDNEsDAY.-Charles Fl. Fabyan VS.. The Bos-
ton 81 Maine Railroad. This is an action of tort
brought by servant of the defendant road to
for personal injuries occasioned by the alleged neg
lgence of the defendant corporation in failing to
provide safe and suitable engine to properly do the
work of making up trains upon which the plaintiff
was engaged at the time OF the injury.
The plaintiff had been in the employ of the defend
ants for about year in their yard as brakeman
and switchman in making up trains and previous to
that had worked three months upon another road as
brakeman. On the morning of the Both of May, 1876,
before daylight, while attempting to shacke train OF
nine loaded cars to another car he says the train
up slowly until within foot of the stationary
carr that he had raised the shackle with his left hand
when the engine and train gave quick jump and
caught his hand jamming it to snch an extent that
he obliged to suffer the amputaton of the first
two fingers and sustained more or less injury to the
other two.
The testimony sh ows that the engine which was
being used at the time was shifting engine; that
the throttle valve was, and had been for six months
Previous leaking badly thereby rendering the engine
unsafe inasmuch as it diminished the power Of the
engineer to control IT. that the two men in charge Of
the eng ines and engineers of the road Tilton and
Smith, had been notified of this unsafe condition Of
the engine but that they refused repair 1t then
account of pressure of other work. that at the time
there were other engines in the round-house unem-
ployed.
The plaintiff testified that he had known of the
leaky condition of the throttle valve for months
previous to the injury and had noticed at times
similar jumping of the engine and cars, but not be-
ing an engineer nor acquainted with machinery did
not connect the two as cause and effect; that he
