A FAILING WHARF.

FALL RIVER, Mass, Aug. IA wharf al
Mount Hope, upon which was large crowd
OF excursionists, broke down at $40 this
evening There must have been number
lost, but it is impossible to ascertain tonight
how many.
The first reports Of the accident on the
wharf at Mount Hope appear to have been
exaggerated, but owing to the darkness,
there being no light on the wharf, it cannot
be ascertained tonight whether any person is
drowned. The wharf parted in the middle,
precipitating from fifty to seventy-iye into
the trough. Many OF them clung to the
wharf, and others plunged into the water.
Many were taken out unconscious and
almost lifeless, but we're resuscitated-
The news Of the accident created great
anxiety in the city, and hundreds of
anxious ones at once rushed to the
landing to learn news Of their
friends. At midnight the last. boat
load came over. The City Marshal was Of
the party, and reports the excitement at the
scene Of the accident intense, and thescreanls
Of those who had fallen added to the con-
fusion. Owing to the low tide the water was
not more than five to seven feet deep and
it is believed not more than two were
drowned, although it is impossible. on ac-
count of the darkaess, to obtain accurate in
formation rs to the casualties. 4 number OF
people are known to have been injured. It
is impossible to get further particulars to-
night.

rHE TROUBLES IN MAINE.

The Maine Legislature formally organized
on the Eth. In the House, Assistant Clerk
Gibbs called the certified roll Of members,
and 20 answered 10 their names. Eugene
Hale. Republican, stated that the names OF
certain elected members were not OF the
roll, and moved that they be included.
Objections were made, and the
Clerk refused TO put the mo-
ton. whereupcn the Republicans, with
the exception Of Hale, withdrew In a body.
Upon notification that the House was then
ready 70 organize, Governor Garcclon APP
peared and qualified the members. He an
nounced that IS members, being a quorum,
had taken and subscribed the necessary
oath, and were regularly and duly consti-
Iufed the House Of Representatives. This
announcement was received with applause
from the outside. Governor Garcelon
said he would now put into their hands
the opinion Of the Supreme Court
A. well as the petition Of the gentlemen from
certain cities claiming seats, and invoked
their careful consideration Of the same.
Three ~Fusionists, Sproul, Voter and snow,
refused 70 participate in the proceedings.

We arc tired Of statistics for the past
year, and we presume u readers are
also; but we can not refrain from giving
a few facts gathered from the hang
mans record. IL shows that l0l men
were judicially put TO death in this
country during the year, an increase Of
8 over the number for the preceding
year. When we say l01 men We mean
men i'm the more limited sense-not one
woman having been hanged during the
year. Two Of this number We're shot to
death, one in Utah and n IN Texas,
the laws in each case giving them the
choice Of death either on the scaffold or
by the bullet. In the list Of executions
North Carolina and Texas lead off with
~ each, followed by Pennsylvania with
10, Oregon with Z, and Virginia, Georgia
and Arkansas each with 6. Only 3 were
hung in New York. Sixty-four Of the
l01 were hanged in the Southern States.
In the respect Of race, 90 were whites,
AZ negroes, 3 Indians, and a China
man.
Sad as the report Is, there lisa still sad
der one to come. Sew enty-four men
were lynched in this country in the same
period Of timer-in Kentucky, 81; Colo
RADIO, o, California,.6; Louisiana, 81;
Texas, 8; Tennessee, o.; Georgia, A.;
Mississippi, 4; Dakota, 8; Nebraska, p;

2 Missouri. 2; Minnesota, 2; Alabama,
2; Iowa, /; Ohio, L; Maryland, 1; In
diana, 1; Kansas, 4; South Carolina, /;
Montana, l.. These figures are a dis
grace to this country. Let no one think
that the men who committed these out
RACES are the only guilty parties-not by
any means. A part Of this aggregated
crime rests upon the incompetent, cor
rupt, or cowardly officers who permit
murdercrs 10 escape, a part upon those
sentimental judges and juries who put
mercy before jus ice, and a part upon q
public sentiment that winks at murder
and murderers. Judge Lynch should

A REMARKABLE case Of death from an
prescription occurred in New
York City. A baby Is months old was
badly scaldcd on the arm by the upset
ting Of a bowl Of hot tea. A physician
was called, who directed the amounting
Of the burn with a salyc for which he
wrote a prescription. II contained a
large proportion of opium, not too much
for application to the skin in normal
condition, but a dangerous quantity con-
sidering the increased susceptibility TO
ABSORPTION caused by the scald, for
which the doctor neglected 10 make
proper allowance. The prescription
| was carried V a druggist, who heard
nothing about the scald, and merely saw
that the ointment was .sfor external
use,'' and put it up without having any
idea, or giving the customer any caution,
that it was not perfectly safe. But the
narcotic, absorbed through the scalded
c%nticle, cast the little sufferer into a
sleep which proved fatal.
