j. NJ. BLMHALL of Brattleboro, aged sixty
five, who went from there to North Adams on
an excursion last week Thursday, was found,
with his leg badly mangled, in the middle of
the Hoosac tunnel that night. Thomas Gal
braith, track-walker, left the west portal at
six O'Clock to make the tour of the tunnel
When two feet east of the west quarter
light, he saw man lying between the rails
Galbraith laid torpedoes on the track and
stopped the New Haven and Northampton
train, which took Blimhall to North Adams
He had lain in the tunnel four hours before
he was discovered, and six trains had passed
him.. He was taken to the hospital, where
one foot was amputated. He was thought
to be in dying condition. The supposition
is that while trying to see the tunnel on his
way home, he was crowded off the excursion
train, which ran over his foot.

WooL.-The market is slightly stronger
but somewhat less active. the sales for tbe
week amounting TO 4,553, $50 pounds, a large
volume of business in an ordinary condition
OF the market, but small in comparison with
the extraordinary totals of the past few
weeks. The decline in the volume of bust
ness is not due to lack of demand, but
largely to the fact that dealers have ceased
offering large lines of wool, having sold
freely for future delivery. Prices are with
out change. We quote leading brands as
follows.

LUMBER.-The supply is large, the de-
mand only moderate and prices are easier
The demand for cedar shingles is good, and
as the supply is rather limited, prices are
strong. But few cedar shingles are coming
forward and an advance is looked for in the
spring, as cedar logs are quoted at 500 in
Bangor against So last year. Pine and
spruce shingles are quiet and unchanged.
Laths are in fair demand, and as the supply
is not large, prices are steady. Coarse
spruce boards are in rather large supply,
and are dull and weak. There is a good
demand for clear boards at steady figures,
however. Eastern hemlock boards are dull
and clapboards are not in active demand
Car lumber is in good request The call
has been mainly for ordinary dimensions
