DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Trainmen Killed In Wild PIunges Into
New JERSEY Drifts.

EAsToN, Pa, March 15.-Four engines
drawing two wrecking cars containing 100
men left here yesterday morning to open the
New Jersey division Of the Lehigh Valley
road. Nearly hundred snow drifts were
ploughed through and the exploring party
had good luck until they arrived at the large
drift on the short curve below Three
Bridges, N. j. The speed was increased
and the four engines dashed into the drift
with great force. The first engine left the
rails in less than minute.and three of the
engines were wrecked. Theodore Apgar
and Cooney Derr, Of South East0n, the en-
gineers of the first two locomotives, and An
drew j. Bullman, of Easton, gravel train
conductor, were killed and Isaac Pixly, Jr.,
of Easton, firemen. was frightfully scalded.
Conductor Bullman and William Shields,
general agent of the Morris % Essex railroad
at Washington, N. j., started East yester-
day with four engines coupled together to
open the snow drifts on that line. The en-
gines ran into monster drift below Hack
ettstown and jumped the track. Engineer
Baker, of the first locomotive. was killed by
the engine being overturned.
Three engines coupled together were sent
out on the New Jersey Central yesterday
from Phillipsburg to open the East bound
track to Hampton. They struck drift six
teen feet deep and the fireman OF the first
engine, John Haversall. was fatally injured.

Especial to the Press,l

AUGUSTA. March 15-The Governor and
Council were in session to-day, all of the
councillors being in attendance. The Cover
nor will probably designate May LIST as Ar
Dor Day.
Miss Barton, of the Portland School for
the Deaf and Dumb, appeared before the
Council, accompanied by boy apparently IA
wears of age. She stated to the Council that
he was deaf and dumb, land had no way Of
communicating with other people, even by
signs. He had been picked up on the streets
of Portland some two weeks ago, apparently
aimlessly wandering about. He carried with
him slip of paper, on which was written
statement that he wanted money to aid him
in securing an education. 1t was believed
at the time that some person was using him
as an instrument to obtain money from kind
hearted persons. The boy was placed in the
Portland School for the Deaf temporarily,
and Miss Barton requested that the Cover
nor and Council might place him there per-
maneDtly, at the expense OF the State.
As there was no way OF aScertainlng who
the bey's parents were, and he had no way
of indicating his choice Of q guardian, it
would be necessary for th6G0vernor and
Council to step a little outside of the usual
course in committing him to the school, and
a specific committee was appointed to take
the matter into consideration.
At the session today, citizens of Waldo
county petitioned that they be allowed to
of time and space until the decision of the
law court in the case of Thompson VS.. Dow.
The petition was dismissed.
1t was voted to print 5000 additional copies
of the Bodwell memorial.
1t was voted to make the following assess
ment 0f taxes on the railroads.

THE STATE FAIR.
for a Great Show
Next Year.
Especial to the Press. ]


LEWISTON, March 15.-The trustees of the
Maine State Agricultural Society have just
closed a busy session. Radical changes In
the interests of exhibitors have been made
The grand show of 1888 will include three
large exhibitions combined. the Maine
State, Pathological and Androscoggin Coun-
ty. The evenings are to be occupied with
meetings in the main exhibition building.
One is to be devoted to the Board of Agri-
the Maine State Grange, with the expecta-
tion that part of the written papers may
be furnished by the ladies in the order.
The most radical change is In the method
of judging horses. A scale of points has now
been adopted. A single judge will be en-
ployed, and every horse and colt not dis
qualified, win be scored by the scale, and
awards made accordingly.
President Prince urges upon all those in
terested, the Importance of setting trees in
the Park, and invites members and friends
to contribute at least one tree each to the
ornamentation of the Park.
The ticket system has been entirely re-
vised, and it seems hardly possible for past
practices to be continued.
Competition is opened to the maritime
provinces, which In itself will add much to
the exhibit and largely to the attendance.
1t was also voted to secure if possible the
stud of horses for exhibition, owned by the
government of New Brunswick, sixteen in
number.
Secretary Knowlton of the State Pomolog
ical Society, was in attendance arranging
the details connected with the fruit depart
ment in the interest of fruit growers.
No extensive repairs win be necessary
this year and every indication points to a
successful exhibition.
A circular letter is to be sent out at once
by the secretary, soliciting special premiums
from exhibitors, members of the Society and
friends everywhere, to be placed where the
individuals may desire, but aiming to reach
those classes not conyered by the general
premium list The response to this should
be hearty. 1t is agood opportunity to open
up new fields, and is to be commended.

is estimated that from so to 1Co million feet
of logs went from Moosehead by way of
the Kennebec river last year, but the drive
greatly exceeded the usual size as the water
in the lake was.higher than it had been for
wears. and so several million feet of logs
were floated which had been cut in previous
seasons. This season from 35 to 40 million
feet of logs will be gotten out for the Kenne-
