Found Drowned.

Yesterday morning the body of a colored
man was found lying ON the flats about $50
yards from the shore at the foot of Franklin
street. and Coroner Gould notified 1t prov
ed to be the body of George Freeman of
Yarmouthyille, aged 20 years and married.
From information given the coroner it was
evident the death was accidental, and an in
quest was rendered unnecessary. Freeman
had been employed in the mills at Yarmouth
vile. He leaves widow in Cape Elizabeth
but no children. ~
As rumors were current yesterday to the
effect that Freeman's death waS the result
of foul play, the police Investigated the mat
ter. Mrs. Cain, wife of dennis Cain, who
lives at 242 Washington street, saw some
men engaged ma quarrel in front of her
house Saturday night, and heard one of
them called George. The men apparently
settlSed their differences and the man called
George, who was without hat, ran off, go
ing towards Washington street. In the
morning George Freeman's hat was found
lying in the yard of Gains house. 1t was
this which gave rise to the rumors, but moth
ing was learned which would tend to confirm
the suspicious. Freeman was known to
have been without money, and there were
no evidences of foul play on his body. The
men seen by Mrs Cain had been drinking
and it is supposed that Freeman, after leav-
ing his companions wandered to some point
near Lincoln street and fell into the water,
as people living in that vicinity report that
they heard cries at about one o'clock Sun
day morning

Fatal Accident.

Timothy Wade, section hand on the
Grand Trunk railway, was at work on the
track in the Grand Trunk yard Saturday
morning, when locomotive backed down
the track which Mr.. Wade did not see. The
engine knocked him down and the wheels
passed over him, cutting him completely in
two and mangling the body terribly. The
body was taken to Rich's undertaker's shop.
Mr.. Wade lived on Adams street and was
about 46 years of age. He was in the employ
of the Grand Trunk for about % years. He
leaves a son and a daughter.
Coroner Gould made an investigation and
considerable blame attached to the road, and
that an inquest was unnecessary, as trains
had been moving back and forth and
Switchman had warned the men to get out OF
the way. Mr. Tobey, the engineer of the To-
connective, said he was not ringing the bell,
as this is not customary in the yard. He was
keeping lookout but as Wade was stoop-
ing down he overlooked him. He did not
know of the accident until ten minutes or so
after it occurred.

SUNDAY closing of Drug stores.

Some weeks ago the Ministerial Associa-
ton of Portland and vicinity, after confer
ence with several druggists, voted to request
the closing of drug stores during portion of
the Lords day; plan was formed for open
ing one hour each, morning, afternoon and
evening, and 10 of the 29druggists signed the
agreement, while weighty objections to the
plan were evolved. 1t was therefore thought
best to call conference of druggists, which
was done. AT that conference, after full
discussion, committee was appointed to
confer with the association committee and
devise plan which would be satisfactory to
all parties and would secure to all druggists
exemption from secular labor during a por-
ton of Sunday. The following was the re-
port of that committee, and the names of
those who have signed the agreement:
The committee appointed by the druggists of
Portland to devise plan for closing their stores
on Sunday, unanimously recommend that an eX-
perimental test be made for three months, begin
ming June Goth, as follows: All drug stores to
close at 10 a: m. each Sunday, and to remain
closed until 5 p m. Binding if unanimous.
