Eastern Railroad,

The proposition of the Boston q Maine di-
rectors-which has been published in the PRESS
made to the Eastern stockholders has been
under consideration by the directors of the lat
ter road, and on Friday counter proposition
to the directors of the Boston & Maine road
was drawn up and agreed to at a meeting OF
the Eastern directors held at noon. This pro-
position is in writing, and the same day was
handed in to the president of the Boston q
Maine road and will be by him submitted to
his directors.
The proposition of the Eastern directors will
present important notifications of the terms
proposed by the Boston q Maine people, but IS
believed to outline basis upon which negotia-
tions can be carried to the desired end. 1t may
be we'll to state, however, what is known to be
the views of the Eastern people in regard to
the merits Of theIproperty they represent in Ger
tain respects They hold that inasmuch as
their road owns the majority OF the stock OF
the Maine Central railroad, which embraces
nearly the entire railway system of Maine, and
which cost the Eastern corporation in principal
and interest about So 900 900, the lease of their
read to the Boston & Maine would give the lat
ter corporation a controlling interestin all the
reads east of Portland, that would be OF treat
value to that corporation, which can therefore
well afford in view of such lease to give
more liberal terms than those offered.
The advantage of consolidation of both
roads, as proposed, is obvious enough, accord
ing to those who favor it. If it should be
made, it would so strengthen both corporations
as to enable them, when their bonded debts
mature-some ten or twelve years hence-to
thereafter, the natural increase of business on
the lines will enable the debts of both roads,
with a reduced rate of interest only to meet, to
be wiped out in the next twenty-five years.

Yarmouth.

Yarmouth will celebrate the GLORIOUS
Fourth" with exercises appropriate to the oc-
oasion. Nearly $13O has been subscribed by
the citizens, and the prospect looks encourag
ing for grand time. The days programme
will be something as follows: The bells of the
various churches will be rung, and a national
salute fred at sunrise. noon and sunset AT 6
O'Clock a. m. fantasies, under the command of
Mr.. Henry Gooding, headed by ths Yarmouth
Brass Band, will parade the principal streets
OF the village. In the afternoon (probsbly
about 2 o'clock,) the band will give grand
open air concert on the band stand near the
depot when may Lc expected rare musical
treat They will play several of their latest
and best selections. A match game Of base
ball will come off about 2 O'Clock p. m, be-
tween the Yarmouth nine and some out of
town club. In the evening the band will give
another concert, in connection with grand
display of fireworks, on the depot grounds,
which will conclude the exercises of the day.
The celebration at Yarmouth this year, will
probably surpass anything of the kind ever at
tempted before, and no doubt large concourss
of people will be present to witness it. Much
credit is due to Mr.. James Rogers, the chair
man of the committee, through whose energy
and public spirit the celebration will be made
a success. Mr.. Rogers is a live man in every
sense of the word, and has worked hard to
make this day of great enjoyment tosthe citi-

be suspended, and the House answered AYE"
with yell O'Connor then rose and walking
out addressed vigorous language to the House,
but what he said was drowned in series OF
shouts and yells, and for momont it looked as
though there was about to be physical row.
But the Honorable member strobe out gesticu-
lating contemptuously, and after short pause
his eight comrades walked out IN abody neglect
ing the usual courtesy of bowling to the chair.
The hands of the government were now free
and by eight they had passed all the bill which
they proposed to pass 1t was generally felt
that the effects of the struggle with the Irish
members was no help to the government in the
work of pacifying Ireland. The Irish mem
bers now say the government must take the
whole responsibility of the measure which
they state will do more to provoke crime than
any act passed by the House for many years.
The sitting which had been prolonged thirty
hours, was brought to close amid hearty
cheering of the English members.
In the confusion which followed the first
motion to suspend the Irish members Parnell
was seen to leave his place and go towards
DR.. Playfair, and group OF members gath
cred about, attracted by the unusual action OF
the Irish leader, who seemed somewhat angry.
Having arrived at the chair he addressed the
following observations to the chairman of the
committee: "Of course l understand, DIR.
Playfair, you are the body to object or order
but wish to say there is no foundation for
the statement you just made to the speaker. l
deny have obstructed the bill, either by in
tent or by deed, in any of its stages"
Dr. Playfair hesitated for few moment and
replied II admit Mr.. Parnell you have not
obstructed or spoken during its progress but
you belong to the party andI have therefore
considered myself entitled to include you in
tEa Ea,sIspeneiGn."
Parnell replied 81 also deny any of the
party have distracted the bill and consider
your conduct is abuse even on your own show
ing on the rule regulating suspension of mem
bers, as this rule has reference only to indi-
vidual action and certainly does not entitle the
chairman to hold one member responsible for
the acts of another"

close to Parnell during the strange scene, TAX

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 1.-Coalville, in But
ler county, suffered from cyclone a few min
utes after o'clock last evening. The fact
that the village is located about 40 miles east
of the Shenango & Allegheny railroad, and
there is no telegraph station there, prevented
full particulars of the occurrence from reach
ing here until late this evening, The track
of the storm was only about one-quarter of a
mile wide and 10 miles long, bat in that terri
tory great damage was done. In the country
adjoining the villages, many houses were
blown down; but, as far as can be ascertained,
no one was hurt. The principal portion of the
ruin wrought was in the town of Coalville it.
self. A new frame store building and dwell
ing, owned by Frank Bard, was completely
wrecked. Mr.. Bard, his sister-in-law, and his
clerk, Mr. Cannon, were badly injured. Mr.
Bard was blown considerable distance, but
miraculously escaped injury, beyond few
bruises Five hundred feet south Of this store,
dwelling house, occupied by Thomas John
son and family, was blown down, but all the
inmates escaped without Injury. The resi-
dence of William Barnes was swept away, not
board remaining. Mrs. Barnes was blown
fully 300 feet, and lodged ia fence corner.
She was so badly hurt that she died within 80
minutes. A child of Mr.. Blaine's was carried
500 feet, and received injuries from which it
died this evening. The residence of Mr.. jon
athan Kelley, which contained nine people,
was demolished, and all the persons in the
building were more or less injured. One Of
the inmates, William Henley, has since died.
In a barber shop next door, Mr. and Mrs. Nc
Quiston were so seriously hurt that they are ex
pected to die. The only hotel in the place, the
Kelso House, was so badly damaged that it
will be necessary to rebuild it, and the village
drug store is in about the same condition. AL.
together about fifteen houses were wrecked,
and from 25 to 80 persons killed and injured.
In the track of the storm there is scarcely a
tree left standing, giant trunks being twisted
off like pipe-stems, and in some instances car
ried hundreds of yards. The loss will proba-
bly, exceed S75 GOO.

THE AUTOPSY.
Medical Opinions Regarding the Assas-
sins Brai1aeAa


DR.. Lamb was asked to-day if it was true
that Guiteau's brain was found in normal
condition. and replied "That is true SO far as
the brain is concerned, but the membrane en-
veloping It was found unhealthy and will be
examined
''Was the condition OF the brain surprise
to you?"
"No, it could not very well have been, as
had no expectation. l simply exmined the
brain with the desire to find as much as posi-
bic of its condition.
Drs Lamb and Sewers think it will be sew
eral days before the report is completed. DIR.
Hartigan is of the opinion that it will be apt to
cause doubt to favor the insanity theory, but
that he had often seen the same condition in
persons never suspected of insanity.
DIR. Mcdonald, whose expert testimony
during the trial formed one of the features,
was present at the autopsy, and to-day was
asked If the brain was healthy. Yes" was
the reply, ssthat was the case. It could hardly
be in better condition. Its weight was only
half an ounce below normal and it appeared
natural"
"Was not this an unexpected result?"
sfNot to me- at least it was no more than
expected; and as far as the brain shows mental
condition, have seen no reason to change my
opinion about the late deceased"
"But does the brain indicate the mental con-
dition?'
"To a certain extent yes, and as work with
the microscope becomes more accurate it will
show it moro fully. A diseased brain is re-
garded as an indication Of insanity, although
some sane people are known to have diseased
braius"
"But it is said that the membrane was dis
eased?''
'sIt was not healthy and its condition might
or might not indicate disease. A microscopic
examination will show that and will determ-
inc exactly what it does Indicate
"Will there be anything further developed
in the examination of the brain to change your
opinion?"
~ don't see how there can be. The exam
ination will be continued and will be as thor
ough as possible, and will give the minutest
particulars, but the general conclusions ar
rived at will not be changed In my opinion
the brain is good one."
In Dr. Lambs office, in large jar of alco-
hol, are the dead mans brains; in another a
