A Providence dispatch gives an account of
very serious accident which happened to
son of Mr.. Thomas Frain of this city, named
Miles Frain, assistant foreman in the carpen-
ter shop of the Slatersyile mill in North
Smithtield, r. l. He was engaged in planning
a heavy ash board at one of the Dsniels plan
ing machines, and, while so engaged. in some
manner a piece of board weighing about eight
pounds was thrown backwards with tremen-
dous force, hitting Frain on the left side of
the forehead very near the temple The
piece struck with such force as to fracture
his skull and gouging downward tore his left
eye from the socket. He was discovered
soon after the accident and taken to his
home. A physician was summoned who pro-
nounced his case very critical, and it is doubt
full if he will recover.

0BITUARY.
Fred Dexter Hoyt,

The subject of this notice was the son O,
George B. Hoyt-now living in thi, CITY,
and his mother was Maria H. Sawyer Hoyt
VINO died several years ago. He was born in
Augusta November 1st, 1856, being at the
time of his death few days more than 81
years old. He attended the city scbools till
lie was lo years old, when he learned the
trade of stone cutting. He worked at this for
several years. Finding he was not strong
enough to continue this az business he
abandoned it, and went into trade in this
city, forming co-partnership with his BROTH
er-in-law, Lucius Hill, under the name of
Hill Hoyt. After remaining few years
IN trade, the firm closed out their business
and Fred" went West with the intention of
starting In business and locating a home.
Not hnding the West" what his Imagination
had pictured it he returned to Augusta aud
very soon thereafter bought the express
business which now bears his name. Att
time OF the purchase of his business, 1t was
out little more than a carpet-bag affair, be-
tween this city and Boston by boat, but I'M
der the management Of Mr.. Hoyt, it soon es-
tablished reputation for prompt and homes
dealing with the patrons and today it 10
known all over New England and has a we'll
established business. This MIR. Hoyt was
forced to give up on account of failing health,
selling to Mr.. White, hoping by giving up
all ousineis cares and going to 4 milder eli
mate he might recover or at least be benefit
ed. He lett this city with his wife about the
middle OF November and on reaching jack
sonville, Fla, he lived only one week, dying
November 26.
In 1877 Mr.. Hoyt married Flora Z. Smith
OF this city, who has been to him a kind and
loving wife, administering to his wants in all
the long weeks OF his sickness and going with
him IN his search for health to be at his bed
side to receive his last good bye"
Brief AS his life was he accomplished much
few accomplished more. He leaves to his
friends the legacy OF a man and character
which they will cherish as long as life lasts.
The chain of his character in lite was that he
was always just as God made him-an honest
companionaole, manly young man.
Mr.. Hoyt was a member of the Odd Fell
lows and several masonic orders of this city,
who will attend his funeral today. And now
rs his remains are being borne from his boy
hood home to his last resting place by kind
and loving hands, his friends can only say
that parting word-Farewell L.

ton to determine when the different sums
stolen from the bank were taken. Fortunate
ly in drawer were found memoranda in
Gould's hand writing of his operations, which,
when compared with the books and with
papers in the hands of other parties disclosed
his nodus operandi with great clearness.
Mr.. Gould after he went to Thomaston re.
membered that these papers were in existance
and sought to obtain them but in vain.
Ii has also been discovered that Mr.
Gould's State street house was paid for
directly out of the funds of the bank. The
separate items of expenditure in its con-
struction reveal the lavishness of his outlay
The finishing of one room alone cost $3.50 :;
the hall and staircase. $1,000; for the stained
glass windows alone he paid 5000; for
chandeliers over $500.

purchase amounted TO S97 900, and in four
months he invested S676.000 in speculative
ventures. For long time his average was
about 100000 a month. He had three
brokers. two in New York and one in Bos-
ton, and his communications with them were
IN cipher. He was a very enthusiastic
purchaser, but if his stock fell point he was
inclined to be panickv and order their sale at
once. So he frequently lost, when if he had
