The remains Of the young French Cana.
dian who was killed at the Sand Hills, on
the Dover and Foxcroft extension of the
Maine Central, last Monday, have been
brought here where the relatives of the
unfortunate young man reside. His name
was Claire, and he was about IS years old.
He was at work on the gravel train, and
wishing to jump from the car, did so at
place where the bank was so steep and
near the track as to throw him under the
wheels, and the whole train went over him.
One arm and one leg were cut of, and his
head terribly crushed.
Mr.. T. J. Emery. who went to Ca.ibou
to inspect the new dam At that place. has
returned. and says there 10 no serious
trouble with the structure. He will go up
there again about the middle Of next month.
when the work will be strengthened, and
necessary additions made so that the water
nay be taken from the dam and carried to
the wheels in new mill which is TO be put
in operation. A woodworking establish
ment will probably be started first, hut it
is expected that considerable machinery of
various kinds will be set up in the near
future. The power is excellent, and there
will be some one to utilize 1t.
The disagreement of the jury. yesterday

attendants from the first. Expert test
mony, and a good deal of it, was intro
duced. while the arguments by the counsel
not only spoke forth legal lore, but profess
sional skill. Judge Halls charge occupied
IS minutes, and, after being out about two
hours. the gentlemen Of the jury decided
that an agreement would he impossible, and
reported accordingly. The jury stood on
for defendant. One of the Juror. bad been
excused by reason of sickness, but, by
consent of both parties the trial proceeded.
