Accident at the Roller Coaster.

Two children, one aged three and the other
seven years, met with an accident at the
roller coaster yesterday morning, which
would have resulted seriously had it not been
for the quickness and bravery of Capt. John
son, the manager The children had been
warned off the track several times, but re-
manned and were playing on it when the car
started. Then they began to run, but would
not have escaped had not the Captain, rush
ing before the car, seized the smaller child
and threw him into the car and at the same
moment tossed the other out of the way.
The children escaped with no greater injury
than a bruised head and ankle, but the
Captain, in rescuing them, was very severely
bruised, being struck by the car and thrown
over the railing.

STATE POLITICS.
REPUBLICAN SPEAKERS.


Congressman Hiscock of: New York, Bur-
rows of Michigan, Mckinley of Ohio, Nc
Comas of Maryland and Golf of West Virgin
ia have been invited by Messrs. Hale and
Frye to take part in the coming fall contest
in this State. 1t is likely that all will accept.
Five better speakers could not be selected.
Golf is chairman of the National Republican
Committee Hiscock and Mckinley have been
rivals of Mr.. Reed for the leadership of the
House. McComas is secretary of the Repub-
lican caucus of the House, and enjoys the
distinction of being the only Republican
member from Maryland. His reputation was
made during the present Congress in the de-
bate on the Presidents vetoes.

ton of man for county attorney. They
hold their district convention at Waterville
on August 9th. Several of the prohibition
lists favor Ladd for Congress, but others will
not have him and are fighting him tooth and
nail.

MIR. REEDS RIVAL.
Boston Journal
The Democrats of the First Maine District
have nominated as the competitor of Repre-
sentative Reed William FL. Clifford, Esq, of
Portland. AS long ago as 1872, when the
Democrats hailed Mr.. Clifford as the young
lion of the Democracy, he was defeated, so
that he will experience no strange sensation
this year when he is beaten by Mr.. Reed.
The candidate of the Knights of Labor be-
fore the convention received very small
vote. Mr.. Clifford is lawyer, a lifelong
Democrat with pedigree, free trader, and
is doubtless the candidate of the Anderson
wing of the party. Mr.. Clifford is good
deal of an orator, and if he and Mr.. Reed
could agree upon series Eof joint discuss
ions there would be more fun in the First
Maine District than one could tell about in a
week-for Reeds friends

1t is well known that the inhabitants of many
Eastern nations shield themselves against infec
tious disorders by wearing Aromatic Gums on the
pit of the stomach. Their instincts are right for
strong, permanent odors are antagonistic to the
living germs which canse disease. For this rea-
son Allcock's Porous Plasters, being composed OF
fragrant aromatic gums, are the best safeguard to
wear on the pit of the stomach in Cholera time, or
in localities where sewer gas and malaria are
found. They not only prevent infection, but will
cure diarrh9a, dysentery, cholera and bowel

An Argument in Favor of Box
Shocks.

Upon unloading British steamer which
arrived at Philadelphia last week it was
found that about one-half of the cargo of
1900 tons of sugar was a fluid mass of syrup
instead of sugar in bags as it had been
shipped from India The sugar had been
melted by heat and the syrup was eight feet
deep in the hold of the vessel, which had
come through the Suez Canal. This would
seem to indicate that box shocks would be
better for the transportation of sugar from
hot countries rather than bags.

A Plea for Back Bay.

To the Editor of the Press:
Permit me to say few words in regard to
Back Bay l know of no city where one
may look out on such beautiful views, as
seen from the heart of our city. For years,
far into the early dawn, / have watched from
my window the incoming tide, for the little
white sails that dot the bay, and what pity
this lovely sheet of water cannot be kept in.
At full tide, or at the clearing of storm,
nothing is more pleasing to me than to gaze
out on the tranquil waters of the bay, re-
flecting the hues of the sunset sky, upon the
green fields and hills and tree-crowned sum
mits of Deering. How pleasant to look off
upon ''the breezy dome of groves. The shad-
ows of Deering Woods" 1t has been great
ly improved in all respects, and it is too love-
ly for description. Now let the city authori-
ties apply at once for permission to build the
dam at Tukey's Bridge, so that the water
may be kept in at all hours, and there will
be no more Back Bay smells, but instead a
beautiful sheet of water at all hours of day
and night, of which the city will in time be
proud M
