can in their individual capacities. but
whenever they undertake To unite
their skill for the purpose Of extending
their operations, then they are sudden

demonstrated in Dodgeville last week.

Apples have declined severely during the
past few days under larger receipts. Many
moor apples are coming forward, and wind
falls are down to 80 cents per bushel. A
fair price for good sour apples would be s.. 80
and az per barrel, and golden sweets 50 and
So. There are only few New York pip
pins in the market. The crop prospects in
Europe are not so good as year ago, and the
apple crop of Europe will be considerable
under that of last year; fall shipments of
American and Canadian apples to Glasgow
and Liverpool should strike good markets :;
and fall shipments of early fruit TO London
should be made with knowledge Of the fact
that they will not fall ON absolutely bare
markets The French apple crop will be
larger, the Belgium lighter; Holland will
have better crop than last year. but still
under the average; Germany will have a
short crop, with none available for export !;
Portugal has large crop, but arrivals after
September if any, will have no~appreciable
influence on the English markets. The apple
crop of Maine this year will be less than the
average. We may look for apples TO be con-
.iderably higher in Maine than last year.

A shocking accident, of which an Augusta
man was the victim, occurred in Waterville
Saturday night. Edward f. Wiggin and
Frank NJ. Bowman, having spent the after
noon in the northern part of the county pur-
chasing horses to ship to Boston, drove to
the depot, on their way home, just as the
Pullman from Bangor came laundering
along. Their horse, a skittish animal, took
fright and bolted across the track at terrible
speed toward the fence enclosing the college
grounds. Both men were thrown violently
from the carriage, Wiggin striking his
whole weight upon his right foot. Bowman
was only slightly hurt. It was found upon
examination that both bones in the leg were
broken short of just above the ankle, great
splinters protruding through the flesh. The
Pullman waited 80 minutes at Waterville I'M
I'll arrangements could be made to convey
the injured man to Augusta. A mattress
was spread on the floor of the baggage car,
and, accompanied by DR.. +. c. Thayer and
Mr.. Bowman, Wiggin was brought to this
cHy. lie was taken to his home on swan
street, and DIR. G. ". Martin summoned.
The patient was eitherized, and the surgeons
began operations. About four inches of the
houla small bone, were entirely gone, and
some two inches Of the tbia OF large bone,
were shattered into fragments. The splinters
OF bone were removed, so that the sound
ends Of the tibis could be united and held in
place by surgical appliances until they knit
together. 1t is hoped that the limb will be
saved. The injury is what is called com
pound comminuted fracture. Such wounds
were frequently caused in the army by burst
ing shells, but it is very seldom that so ter
fioe break comes from being hurled from
carriage.
