Augusta says: "Now that the proposition of the
Dover and FoNcroft people to build an extension
to the Dexter and Newport Railroad from Dexter
to Dover, distance of Is miles, and lease it to the
Maine Central Railroad Company, has been accept
ed, steps are being taken to raise the necessary
funds to construct the road. OF the $4,000 in
stock which is to be issued about half has been
subscribed in Dover and FoNcroft, and it is expect

The Exhumation Craze 1T
Vienna

To-day the remains of a number of
citizens of Vienna shot during the re-
voluton of March, 184S, were exhum-
ed from the Schneider Cemetery to be
reinterred in the new cemetery at Sim.
mering. 1t is believed that forty-s six
persons were inferred in the common
pit but the number can not be ascer-
tanned accurately. The corpses were
originally laid in hospital shelly, and
when first exhumation took place in
1864, with view of providing the
obscure champions of popular liberties
with decent graves. it was found that
all the collins had rotted away and
many of the skeletons were broken up.
A cemented pit. with two chambers.
was prepared at the Schneider Gem
etery, and in these the remains were
deposited with all the remnants of
clothing found upon them. To-day
when the pit was opened all the bones
were seen mixed In heap. Work
men brought them up in sieves. and
ghastly it was to see skulls, fingers,
teeth and punches of hair mingled
with mouldy shoes and fragments of
brown cloth. Fifteen entire skulls
were recovered, one containing the
brain in a complete state of desicca-
tion. Several of the skulls showed
bulie. holes. and one of the skulls was
woman's. 1t is thought that four
women killed during the street fiuht.
ing were buried with the men. The
modest obelisk which stood in the
Schneider ground was removed few
days ago to the central cemetery to be
placed over the new grave. Vienna

Beer and Wife Worked.

A few weeks ago relative of man
up on the south side gave his wife
recipe for home made-beer. The beer
was made and it occupied just thirteen
bottles-an unlucky number as it
turned out. These were placed in the
cellar. One night the head of the
house heard suspicious noise down
stairs. and he arose from his couch.
sneaked into his back room. and
moment later his wife heard two shots.
II think l hit one of them he said as
lie returned with chatting teeth. .'but
we'd better leave the body in the yard
until morning. At daylight he could
find no trace of dead burglars. but his
wife found that two bottles of her beer
had exploded and baptized the cellar.
(which one do you think you hitP"
she asked, MS she gave her lord a
whitening glance. and when he vent.
ured to remark that the beer had
worked. she crushed him with: "It's
the first time anything excepting me
has worked in this house" The net
result of the thirteen bottles was ono
pom; of sour beer-the rest was dis
tributed over the furniture, clothing
and the premises. 81 Chicago Herald.

The latest diabolism on the race
tracks is the use of the hypodermic
needle. 1t seems that some men who
have had the entree of the best tracks
lately have managed to inject morphine
into horses that they wanted to disable
temporarily. They have done it with
out exciting suspicion by hiding the in
lection needle in one hand and seeming
to slap the horses on the buttocks with
some such remark as Here's the horse
for my money" The drug takes effect
in half an hour. and tho horse goes
