Struck by a Train.

Tuesday night woman giving the name of
Mrs. Allen of Yarmouth was found on the
Maine Central track in Danville, with leg
broken. SEo said she was struck by a train
while walking on the track. She was brought
to the Maine General Hospital yesterday
noon.
Mr.. Rich with his ambulance met the noon
train on its arrival here and took the lady to
the hospital. He informs us that she was ap-
parently about 20 years of age, and suffering
from compound fracture OF the femur. She
sank rapidly after reaching the hospital and
died at five o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
particulars of the accident could not be learned
nor could it be ascertained where she belonged.
She said she had recently worked in this city,
but could not tell where, or the name of the
person she worked for. Coroner Gould was
called, but he decided that as the accident &C.
Cured in another county he had no jurisdic-
ton in the case
Previous to her death the old lady stated
that she started from Lewiston, land had walked
to Danville Junction, but che did not state her
destination. When taken to the hospital she
was quite laxative, and indications were that
she would recover. She must, however, have
received internal injuries which proved fatal.

eision Vet Reached.
In the matter of the Portland &c Rochester
railroad, petitioners for damages against the
town of Deering, on account of the location Of
Noyes street across its track, the County Com
missioners with the counsel engaged in the
case viewed the premises yesterday forenoon,
and the hearing took place at the County
Commissioners rooms in the afternoon. The
petitioners offered evidence as to the expense
of building and maintaining a crossing, and
proper culverts, and of employing fagman
at the expense Of $125 per day. The counsel
for the town commended that the road was
being operated under new charter, granted
in 1881, and by its provisions was made subject
to all the liabilities and duties imposed by the
statutes Of the State; that statute then ex-
listed and is now in force requiring the railroad
to bear the expense of building SO much of the
way as is within the limits of the location of
the railroad, and no damages could be recov-
cred. That though they might be ordered in
the future to place fagman at the crossing,
it was statute in existence for the public
safety, to furnish safeguards for travellers,
and burden that the law has placed upon
railroads, without compensation from the town
that lays its streets across the track. The
amount claimed by the railroad is $4,000 No
decision has yet been rendered. W. L. Put
