A FEARFUL DEATH.
An Age d Lewiston Man Crushed by a
Railroad Train.

AL age u L0WlSUOn ucn CfuSuSo Wy q
Railroad Train.
Especial Despatch to the Press.
LEWISTON, May 19.-Another fearful death
has occurred in our midst today. Patrick
Goggin, an aged citizen, stepped upon the rail
road track one minute, and in the minute fol-
lowing was hurled into eternity, leaving a
horribly mangled and unacceptable corpse.
1t is by far the saddest affair which has marked
our city's record for long season. The acct
dent occurred in this wise: Mr. Goggin went
from his home at II o'clock a. m, and passed
UP steep embankment in path leading to
point upon the NJ G. r. R. about 200 feet
north of the Androscoggin Mill. A lady look
ing from window near by saw the old gentle
man walk up this path and evidently not
aware of danger, step upon the track about
rod in front of an approaching freight train.
Further than this there is no positive evidence
of what followed, but from blood stains and
position of the body when found it is almost
certain that the man was knocked down by the
first car-the train was moving backward
passing under this safely, but the next car
wheels ran over him, severing his trunk near
ly in two, and by the aid of the remaining ears
and engine, leaving the body in horribly
mutilated st ate. Thos. McGrath first discov-
cred the rem ans but could not recognize them,
though he had been intimate with the deceas-
ed for long time.
Coroner Brooks was Immediately summoned,
the body was gathered up and carried to the
home of John Goggin, son of deceased, in Gas
House Patch and an inquest was held. The
facts as related above were testified to and the
inquest adjourned. 1t is beyond doubt the
jury will return verdict favorable to the rail-
road company and charging the cause of
death to deceaseds own carelessness. A sharp
curve in the track at this point would render it
impossible for the train to stop or avoid the
accident.
The officials say they did not see the man
on the track before or after the train had
passed and was not aware of the accident until
they received information from other persons.
Mr.. Goggin was 76 years DID, very deaf and
partially blind His daughter upon seeing
her father brought home was overcome with
grief. The son was away from town at the
time

The San Francisco Bulletin, which opposed

adjusted that there will be very little jar or

it is probable that he will resign his judicial
Office to accept the position. His present du-

the new position offered him is said to be much
preferable from both of these considerations

The Tru stees Still Seeking to Prove Bar
ron a Defaulter.
DEXTER, May 19.-It appears from the bank
records that Wheeler's bonds, alluded to in a
late despatch, were held by the bank as secur-
ity for money advanced, SO that Mr.. Barron
could not have used them to make up def
cheney. The late assertions about the connec-
ton of Straw with the Norris mortgage are
untrue. The bank had a mortgage claim for a
long time prior to November 1877. The Nor
ris property amounted to $203 only. On the
fourth day of May, this claim was assigned to
Howe, Higbee & Co. of Boston, D. R. Straw
acting as attorney for one Chaplin in the mat
ter. Straw's name does not appear on the
bank books in connection with the Norris
mortgage. This matter and the charges of
October cannot be COMPOUNDED by any process
of reasoning.

YakOob Khan's Conc essionS-Famine and
Cholera in Cashmere.
SnILA May 10-Vice Regal Council was
summoned to-day to consider the draft of the
Afghan treaty. The Amer has agreed to
such terms as will secure the chief objects of
the British policy.
News from Cashmere is very bad. The in
crease of distress and the famine, joined to the
incompetency, corruption and want Of organ
ization on the part of officials, is producing a
serious state of affairs. Cholera in Peshaurer
is threatening to raise an obstacle to the with
drawal of troops from Afghanistan. The dis
ease has appeared in most of the cities of the
Punjaub.
Among the points of the agreement with
Yakoob Khan, are that the British shall COM
mand the passes with sufficient territory to
constitute scientific frontier; appoin ment of a
British resident at Cabul and the control of
foreign relations of Afghanistan.
