American Cars Abroad.

today, before the Parliamentary commission
Of the boa:d Of trade inquiry on railroad
rates, and deposed that the cost Of NOV.
ing freight In England ~as three tunes
spite OF the fact that labor and fuel were
double the English prices. This he at
tributes entirely to the ancient type OF the
rolling stock OF the British railways. In
cross-examination he said he had sold
American cars to English railways which
were built In New York. The commission
appeared prejudiced against this view, es-
pecially when Mr.. Jefferds wished to show,
that cars could be built 10 America and de-
liyered In England at q less cost than they
could be made In England.

MAIN e.


LEWISTON, March S.-Tle Lewiston Jour
nal this evening prints the following "At 10
o'clock Saturday morning Rev. Thomas A.
Stacy. pastor Of the Court street Free Bsp-
tist church in Auburn, entered well l-knoygn
business house In Auburn with his hand
kerchief dyed in blood and bleeding prof fuse
ly from the nose. He related startling
story to the gentleman in charge, He said
that he had just met Deacon Brann. a former
member of his church. in the street, and that
they had fallen into conversation over sub.
ject that had for some time been a personal
affair Of Mr.. Brann's in relation with the
church. 1t is well-known that recent ac-
tion Of church council severed Mr.. Brann's
connection with the church and the subject
of the conversation Saturday morning was
connected with certain statements made be-
fore the church council at that time. The
conversation was heated on the part of the
ex deacon, who evidently lost his self-cor-
troll. The talk ended In epithets and a Sc
we're blow on the minister's nose. Rev. Mr..
Stacy at once turned the other way and
went down the street. The affair occasions re
gret and calls out much sympathy, not only
for Mr.. Stacy, who Is highly respected and
much beloved Christian minister, but also
for the other gentleman who, it seems, has
forgotten what is due to himself and his as
s0ciafiOn."
