The deceased was about 40 years old,
and he came to this city from ROhrerstOwn
this spring. He leaves wife and three
children.
Whether it was the fault of the coroner
or the railroad company is not known,
but it is shame that the body of this
man was allowed to lie along the railroad
track for over au hour, during which

moved, and both the coroner and railroad
management come in for their share of
public condemnation and both certainly
deserve it.

This morning the fireman was out working
with the flag when the man was struck by
the engine, the engineer being on the
right side, where it was impossible
for him to sec him. 1t will be for the cor

was running whether the bell was ring

by the railroad company and its employ

ing Case.
Important revelations have just been
made in the alleged poisoning cases at
Lancaster, N. H. 1t will be remembered
that there were six deaths, which carried
away all the members of DIR. Bugbee's
and Mr.. B. G. Towne's families. The
bodies were taken up, and arsenic was
found in the stomach of Mr.. Towne. The
next examination was that of Mrs. Hug bee
but no poison was discovered. Professor
Wood, of Harvard college, has just
completed some chemical tests upon the
vitals of DIR. Bugbee and Mrs. Towne, and
arsenic was found in both of them In
the case of DR.. Bugbee whisky was also
detected. This new evidence is considered
substantial proof that DR.. Bugbee and
Mr.. and Mrs. Towne died from the use of
whisky, rs medicine, in which arsenic
had been placed. The officers are con-
vinced that they know who the guilty
party is, and the network of evidence
they are preparing will soon be placed be-
fore the public.
