FATAL ENDING OF AN OLD fIup NJ
TWEEN CARRIERS,

| FATAL ENDING on AN OLD fEpp hh'
TWEEN IOD.cARRiERs.
Lewiston, Me-, Oct 20,-Thc town
of Auburn was the scene Of terrible
tragedy this morning. The two Vie
tins were Matthew Conner aud Pat.
rick O'Conncll, hod.carriers, who, il
appears, have borne grudge against
each other for some time past. They
were both engaged on Iludson's new
cracker factory, the walls of which
have been run up three stories, or q
distance of about iiNy feet. This morn
ing the men went TO work as usual,
but something occurred to rouse the
old animosity, and, quicker than
thought, the two men, in their unrca-
soning anger, had closed IN deadly
combat on the dizzy edge of the third
story walls. The struggle was fierce
but short. Before they could be sep
aratcd both men lost their balance, and,
clasped in each others embrace, thoy
pitched over the wall, striking upon
the ground below with fearful thud,
Their icllow-workmcn Immediately
fastened below, but to no avail-ihe
two men were mangled corpscs. What
makes the circumstances peculiarly sad
is that both men leave large families
dependent upon them for support.
Conner leaves seven children. No in
quest was held, the coroner deeming
one Unnecessary.

A frog fell into II pail Of milk in n
Connecticut town one night recently,
and in the morning was found sitting
upon roll of fresh butter. A local
paper says "that the sole explanation
is that, in trying to.extricate himself,
he had by diligent and continuous
strokes of his long legs churned the
milk into butter" If George WASH
ington were the editor of that paper,
no such item would have appeared.
