on the Grand Trunk Road and Thrown
to the Height OF the Smoke stack.

LEWISTON, July %.
As the two O'Clock train from Portland on
the Grand Trunk came around the curve near
Roak's greenery the engineer discovered q
man walking about a foot from the rails.
The engineer whistled twice bnt was so near
there was no time to stop the train. The
man was thrown to the height of the smoke
stack over a twenty foot embsnkment to the
road below. DR.. Donovan and Coroner Smith
arrived and found the man dead. His skull
was broken in and his right leg was torn
nearly of at the ankle. His name is John
Bream, a resident of Lewiston. His remains
were sent to his home on Lower Lincoln
street. Bream had been up to Hutchins' box
shop after work and had walked around the
town. He was in such place that the en-.
gineer could not see him until too late. The
train was moving at about fifteen miles an
hour. The engineers story to the coroner
was that he saw the man first when only a
few feet from him; that he grabbed the whis-
tie and pulled it twice but that it was too
late, for the engine struck him and threw him
over the embankment When the man s
body was found it lay in the dusty road that
leads from the highway to Roak's greenery.
He had bled but little Stains of blood
showed through his shirt and on his trousers
leg. He lay on his back with arms stretched
out His right foot hung to the leg above
the ankle only by a piece of skin. The
phys clan found bad injuries on his right side
that alone would have caused death. The
embankment at the place is very steep and
high.

DUBLIN, July 22.
The United Ireland. Parnelrs organ, com

"The Marquis of Salisbury i'll be compelled
ere long to produce his msnacles. During
the past year the Irish people have submitted

tiently Judicial rents are becoming daily
more impossible for the tenantry to pay and
more un oearable. 1t is utterly hopeless to
expect any redress from the English Psrlia-

Irish tensntry to longer refrain from helping
themselves. The landlords will fight for
their rents with fire aud sword, thus obliging
Lord Salisbury to pray Parliament to assist
the landlords by some new tangled coercion
act; then will come the tug Of war"

A Prettv Steep Storm.

A gentleman who lives in the eastern
part of this county tells one of those
stories that few people will believe with
out seeing it," He says that he was out
fox hunting, and when the chase wa at
the height of its excitement his horse ran
into an old well thirty feet deep. The
horse was instantly killed by the fall, but
the rider was unhurt. The walls of the
well had caved in at the bottom o dis
lance of three or four feet, and the gen
tleman says this prevented getting out by
digging footholes. Realizing his situa-
ton, he began to call for help at the top
of his voice, but no assistance came. He
was compelled to remain in the well all
night, and the next morning the stencil
arising from the dead carcass of tho horse
was anything but pleasant, and he MOTTO
ed that buzzards were soaring over the
spot. Finally the buzzards began to
alight in the well, and it was then that a
bright idea struck him. He decided to
catch the buzzards by the leg as they
came down until he got a sufficient num-
Der to carry him out. That he did, and
when he caught as many as his hands
would hold, he 'sshooed" at them, and
they few up, carrying him out of the
well.
But still the fox hunter was ir.a diem
ma. The buzzards few up o rapidly
that he could not turn loos, when he
reached the top without falling back III
the well. Upwards the buzzarls few
with their human freight, and the foA
hunter began to despair of his life after
all. When about 100 yards above tht
ground the fox hunter was just about tt
let go and fall, when he was struck BY
another bright idea. He decided to loose
one buzzard ut a time until his weight
would pull them downward. Acting
upon this plan, he was soon landed safe;
upon the ground.
The gentleman who tells this story tell!
it in all seriousness, and as though h,
actually believes it true, but it will be
colder day than any we had during tn,
recent blizzard before he can get anybod,
else to believe it. -Columbus (Ga.) Sun.
