information is received from Phillips
which leads to the belief that the robbery
from freight car at Farmington, recently,
was of "A much greater magnitude than at
first reported. The stolen goods we're the
property of Wilbur Co.. and of Theodore
l.. Page of that place, and the estimates
of their value made by their owners, run as
high as $500 or $500
If this is correct the robbery was the heav-
lest one that has occurred in Franklin coun-
y for some time. Mr.. Page is owner OF the
Elmwood Hotel at Phillips, and also keeper
of the United States restaurant at Washing-
ton. Mr. Wilbur is tor n treasurer OF Avon
and a man prominen, in all North Franklin
affairs. There is no clue, whatever to the
robbers. although there seems to be gener-
al feeling that it was not committed by profes-
sionals but perhaps by local talent,

for DIR. Barker.
Mr. Melville said that Conkhng recog-
nized his wife for q moment Saturday after
noon. Since then he had recognized no one.
His cough was distressing to listen to. He

his hands around constantly. Melville had
no hope of his recovery.

after Conkling Among others were Mayor

About the same time an intimate friend of
the ex-senator who had constant access to
the sick chamber, telegraphed Senator Jones
of Nevada, as follows: Chances diminish
ing; little hope"
Conkling is said TO be in stupor. The
opinions of the friends of Conkling and his
physicians differ. DR.. Barker called at 8 10
and said that Conkling had lost nothing.
There was no change in the patients pulse
or temperature since his last visit. Conkliug
was not in stupor. Conkling grasped his
hand with a frmer grip than he cared to have
him repeat. Barker will not call again until
tomorrow. The Senator took nourishment

the parlor was filled with dry goods boxes
preparatory to packing. Enough to know
that the people made themselves perfectly at
home and were cordially welcomed by the
host and hostess The company had brought
their own refreshments, and hot coffee and
cake were served in abundance. Neighborly
greetings and good fellowship were inter
changed, when there came pause and Mr..
and Mrs. Fossett were summoned to the par
lor, where, in q neat speech, in behalf of
Seth Williams Relief Corps, Mrs. A. S.
Bangs presented Mrs. Fosset with silver
cake basket, butter dish and knife. But it
didn't end here. for in came, borne with low
ing hands. a silver tea service, the gift of
friends and neighbors. An appropriate pre-
sentation speech was made by Mr.. r. b.
Capen, to which Mr.. Fossett made feeling
response. The company separated with a
feeling of sadness that Augusta is to lose
this family SO much beloved, but wishing
them every JOY and prosperity in their new
home and in the making of new friends.

There seems to be some prospect of a rail
road track to the new mills. Railroad men
were in the city Friday and looked over the
land and did some surveying. 1t is pro-
posed to run it from the Maine Central at the
upper end of Main avenue, just back of jew
ett's mill office, through Summer street to
the paper mills, and if possible to the upper
dam. This would save considerable hard
hauling for the numerous manufacturers in
this section.

GRIMES AND ACCIDENTS.
EXPRESS TRAIN IN COLLISION.
Six Men Seriously and a Dozen Others
Slightly Injured.
All on Account of the Carlessness OF
an Engineer.
Pun pUIA Pa Anril l5

PHILADELPHIA, IA, April 10.
While the n. Y. & Washington express
south bound was passing the elevated road
of the Pennsylvania road shortly before $50
A. NJ, it collided with heavy passenger
locomotive at 30th St. The express train
consisted of a baggage and ten coaches, in
Guiding two vestibule cars. Four cars were
badly smashed, and toppled over on their
sides. Six men were seriously injured and
dozen others slightly. The express had
right of way, and is usually followed in ev-
cry morning by an empty locomotive. This
morning engineer Huber of the empty loco
motive endeavored to reach the in bound
track before the express train. Evidently
he imagined the New York train had already
gone by.
