An Afflicted Family

The family of E. A. Wellman of Belmont
have recently lost three of their four chill.
dren by diphtheria. The other child together
with the wife and sister of Mr.. Wellman, have
all had the disease since it entered the family,
but fortunately they have recovered or are at
any rate out of danger. Owing to fear of the
diseate the neighbors would not go to the
house and the whole care of the sick people
has devolved on members of the family Mr..
Wellman says that for nine days and nights
he got no sleep at ALL The sad duty of pre-
pairing his dead children for burial was per-
formed by Mr.. Wellman, and he and his
father were the only ones who fullowed them
to the grave, no funeral service being held.
But the severe troubles of the family did not
end with the death of the three little children.
The last of the three who died was buried
Wednesday morning of last week, and the
same evening the house was discovered to be
on fire, the fire being we'll under way.
The house was soon destroyed and only part
of the furniture was saved. The cause of the
fire is not cettainly known, but as the house
had been fumgated during the day it is sup
posed to have caught in that way. The loss on
the house and furniture is estimated at 500,
with small insurance. After the fire sub
scription was got up in Belfast for Mr.. Well
man and about $120 was raised

WESTERN DRESSED BEEF.
A New Buisness to be Introduced Into
Portland.

A business that has grown with great rapidi-
ty has been that of shipping dressed beef to
the East in refrigerator cars for home con-
sumption, and, in those cities to which it
has been shipped, refrigerator buildings have
been erected for its preservation. This bust
ness has been carried on to a very large extent
by the firm of Swift Brothers of Chicago, and
Mr. R. III. Swift of this firm, is now in Port
land making arrangements for the establish
ment of branch here.
A building, two stories high, will be con-
structed ON Franklin wharf, 45 feet long by 20
feet wide. The lower story will be used for
the refrigerator, and the upper for storing the
ice, of which about fifty tons will be required
daily. The refrigerator will hold seventy
cattle dressed, or about two car loads The
cattle, while in perfectly healthy condition
in Chicago, before they have got feverish by
the fatigue and crowding of travel-as is too
often the case with cattle shipped east ON the
hoof-are killed and dressed and placed in the
refrigerator cars, which are kept at tempera-
ture of $50, and will hold 80 cattle each, in
quarters. The time required to bring the
dressed cattle to Portland is five days, and
they will be shipped via the Grand Trunk. 1t
is claimed for this beef that it can be furnished
of this best quality, fully ripened, and at
cheaper prices than it is possible to procure it
in any other way.

A Maine Rival of DR.. Tanner,

1t appears that DR.. Tanners feat of going
forty days without food was beaten in this
State several years since. Mr.. Charles Ward
of Bradley, stone mason, was the victim of
some trouble that he called the influence of
evil spirits. While under this influence his
limbs seemed beyond control, and neither the
efforts of his own will Or the force used by
others could cause him either to use the tools
OF his own trade or convey food to his mouth.
In attempting to work, his trowel, mortar and
bricks would fly in all directions, completely
foiling his apparently best intentions to work.
The same effect occurred in attempting to eat,
though he could take water freely. The mat
ter eliminated in an enforced fast of seven
weeks, during which time no food passed his
lips. His usual weight was 200 pounds, but
his heightened fast reduced bim to about 100
pounds. The above statements are given by
an eye witness of the affair, who has perfect
confidence that Ward took no food in that
time, and that he either could not or thought
he could not break his fast. Several persons
now residing IN Lewiston and Auburn were
witnesses of the trial
