Narrow Escape from Death.

Especial Dispatch TO the Press.
LEWISTON, April 25.-As the passenger train
from Pennington on the Maine Central Rail-
road was nearing Lisbon Falls to-day, George
Foster, a gentleman over 70 years old, with a
high spirited horse in farm wagon was no.
ticed upon the track a short distance ahead
endeavoring to force his horse across the track,
but the animal was balky and would not 60
forward an inch. The signal for down brakes
was quickly given and every possible effort
made to stop the train, but as it was on down
grade the train was under good Roadway and
there was every indication of a terrible disas-
ter and loss of life, for the old gentleman stuck
to the wagon seat and seemed to be completely
bewild cred. The train rapidly approached the
old man, but when just on the point of strik-
ing full on the carriage the horse sprang quick
ly ahead in such manner that as the train
rushed by the corner of the baggage car struck
the vehicle, completely demolishing it and
throwing the man some distance away. He
fell heavily upon his head and shoulders, cut
ting a very ugly cash on the side of his throat.
The wagon was completely wrecked, one wheel
only rema lining intact, and the horse was last
seen making 240 record on the homeward
roa d. The train was stopped and the injured
man taken in charge by Conductor George
Knapp and the train hands and carried to
neighboring farmers house, where his wounds
were dressed. 1t is feared he is seriously in
jured.

OFFICER, Washington, d. c.,
April %, A. M.
For New England,
partly cloudy or cloudy weather with rain,
southerly, veering to westerly winds, higher
temperature, lower barometer
SPECIAL WEATHER BULLETIN.
The depression which at yesterday after
moons report was central near Milwaukee has
moved eastward and is now central over Lake
Huron. Heavy rain falls are reported in the
West Gulf States. One of 2.72 inches in eight
hours is reported from Galveston. Light rain
has fallen since yesterday morning in every
district east of the Mississippi river except the
East Gulf States and New England. The
temperature has fallen five to fifteen degrees
IN the northern portion of the Middle Atlantic
States and upper Mississippi and lower Mis-
souri, valleys. 1t has risen from five to ten de-
grees in the extreme Northwest. The Mis-
souri, is seven feet and ten inches above the
at Leavenworth. The Mississippi is three feet
eight inches above the danger line at Keokuk,
four feet one inch at Cairo, at danger line at
Memphis and Vicksburg, one inch below at

rection, causing rain in New England during

Middle Atlantic States to-day, followed by
clearing weather tonight or tomorrow. The
Missouri and the Mississippi will probably

The New Chinese Treaty.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-It is said that the
movement for Republican caucus the ul-
terror purpose of which is an executive session,
was mainly started by Senator Miller of Cali
fornia, who is very much concerned that ac-
ton should be taken upon the Chinese treaty
Information which he has recently received
from the Pacific coast is to the effect that
whatever the National Republican party may
think about the officers of the Senate or the
solid South, he would not be excused by his
people II he should not use what influence he
had and the single vote he has to secure an
executive session, with view to some action
upon the treaty. Mr. Miller will undoubtedly
inform the Republican caucus of his peculiar
position, and will, perhaps, state that he will
feel compelled to vote to go into executive
session.
