While Wrestling with Fallen Tree Lum-

While on a hunting excursion in the great coal
and wood region near Carbonate, Pa the writer
met William Coil, a lumberman. Accustomed 10 life
and labor in the forest from early manhood he was
true Knight of the Axe. Many tree had fallen
before his ringing strokes, and fleets of RATS had
borne away to market the sawed products. Coil is

THE HANLAN-KHNNHpY RACE.
How the News Was Received in Port
land.

Messrs. Guppy, Kinsman g. Alden, the
well-known apothecares in Market Square,
made arrangements to receive the first news
in regard to the race between Hanlan and
Kennedy, and therefore about five o'clock
yesterday afternoon the crowd began to
gather in front of the store. The interest in
the great event Of the day was not confined to
any one class of people, Every profession and
trade, not to speak of the genus loafer was
was well represented. Broadcloth and fustian
jostled each other and waxed familiar over the
chances of the Portland oarsman
Soon after five o'clock large sheet of black
paper was pasted up on the Preble street side,
and q ladder placed alongside the wall A tel :
egraph boy appeared bearing a message and
the hoarse murmur OF the crowd was slenced
in a second. The message was recorded on
the blackboard, "The men are in the water.
Then the excitement became intense Preble
street was black with heads, and the square,
in front of the store, and the Preble House,
was well filed Hotel coaches were piled
high with people who wanted to see the dis
patches. Then ensued long period of wait
Ing, broken only by the chatting of men trying
w Sob uctca
AT $50 p. m a buzz ran through the crowd
that the race was over and the news was going
on the board, Up went tho recorder and
the multitude suFged up to the foot of the
ladder. Then came the message, "Hanlan
wins the race in nine lengths" A cheer went
up for Banlan for, even in their dappoint-
ment. there was q feeling OF admiration for
the champion But whom later dispatch
said Kennedy was beaten by twenty lengths
then there was considerable modification
shown until some one suggested that Kenne-
dy's time was mo souch,' especially when
pulled in salt water All the evening, in
stores and hotels, the race was the prevailing
topic and the general feeling prevailed that
Portland had lost pretty heavily on the result.
The heaviest loser heard of was one boating
man whose stakes are estimated from $500 to
$500. There was some joking over the re-
suit bnt there was confident feeling that ths
race was as square a one as over was pnlled,
and that if Kennedy was beaten he had not
deceived any of his friends.

Our Gorham IN. H) correspondent says:
mo. II freight train, going west, with seven
teen cars, broke through the bridge at STRAIT
ford at Lao Thursday morning, the engine
and all but four Of the cars going over. The
engineer, Mr.. Ksvansgh, and Fireman Fowler
were killed, and brakeman j. Ratcliff seriously
injured, all of Island Pond, VT. The cause
of the accident is unknown at this writing
but is supposed to be breaking down of the
bridge. The night was very dark. The up
passenger train Wednesday evening passed
over safely. Had the accident occurred then
the loss of life must have been terrible, as
the whole train must have been totally
wrecked. Kavanagh was one of the best engi-
neers on the line and favorite with all The
bridge is an iron truss, and regarded as one
oil the strongest on the road. 1t is supposed q
rail or wheel must have broken and cut off the

Memorial Day az Norway.

Tho Memorial Day exercises at Norway

this city, Governor Robbie and Ex-Governor
Perham, and we're very successful In their OBJ
seryance. In the morning at 10 o'clock pro-
cession formed at Norway, which proceeded to
South Paris where the soldiers graves we're
decorated and brief remarks made by ex-Gov-
ernor Perbam. st the close of these exercises
the procession reformed and proceeded to
Pine Grove Cemetery, Norway, and after dec
Grating the graves there, 20 Rustaeld Gene
terry of the village. At the latter place DR..
Gordon pronounced eulogy on the life and
character of the late Col. Harry Rust. AS
the Doctor was the surgeon of the Coloners
regiment tho intimate relations into which the
two men we're thrown during the years OF the
war rendered him peculiarly fitted to perform
this service and the attention bestowed upon
his remarks by the audience showed that they
were In Sympathy with him. Col. Rust, he
said, was held in the same respect by his SOL
ders that Little Mack" was by the army OF
the Potomac. The reason for this was that he
treated each man not az a subordinate but as q
member OF his own family.

utmost capacity with an audience eager to
hear the address Of the day by Governor
Robe. In his remarks the Governor gave o
careful and exhaustive review OF the war and
the tributary causes OF It's successful termina-
ton. The history OF slavery was reviewed
from the days when Patrick Henry denounced
the institution, to the proclamation OF emanci-
patton, the struggle that resulted in the adopt
ion of the Missouri Compromise and its final
repeal were graphically portrayed In manner
that evidenced wide reading and careful re-
search. The causes Of the successful termina-
ton Of the war were put down as the firm
stand taken by the pulpit the general intelli-
gepce of the people, and the diffusion OF poit-
teal knowledge among the masses. Tbs adj
dress was attentyely listened to throughout,
though more than one hour in length.
The exercise of the day were participated
In by the Norway and South Paris bands, and
the military and civic societies of the two
villages, and were eminently successful. A
collation. was served at o'clock at Concert
Hall, to over one thousand people, and there
were probably thrice that number IA attend
ancs upon the exercises. About 100 graves
were decorated by the Post.
