CRUSHED BY A BALE.
Charles Fosters Death on the Bark
Cam.

CHARLES r. Foster, the foreman of a
| gang of men employed by B. j. Willard, met
with almost instant death in the hold of the
bark Il. B. Cam yesterday morning. This
vessel Is unloading cargo of baled rags
from japan at the Grand Trunk ocean sheds.
She is Nova Scotian built vessel, with open
cross beam holds fore and aft. Foster was
between the holds rolling the bales along,
and as there are no lower decks. planks are
laid across the beams to roll the bales upon
The planks overhang the beams. and as Eos
ter advanced he stepped on the end of
| plank, tipping it so that he lost his balance
and fell to the bottom. The bale, weighing
about $50 pounds, and the plank followed
him. He made an cutlery as he fell, and it
was followed almost instantly by groan'
which were the only sounds Foster made.
Help soon reached him, and the heavy bale,
which was lying across him, removed, but he
had expired before he was raised. Under
taker Rich was notified, and he arrived and
took charge OF the body. The body was
placed on bier aud raised from the hold,
and six of his fellow workmen carried him
to the team in waiting.
Foster was AZ years old AMI resided at No.
10 Tate street. He leaves wife and four
children. Only short time before one of
the men joGingly asked him whose turn 1t
was to get hurt, his or Mellin's, and he an
swered that it was his turn next. This con.
versaton was distinctly remembered by the
men with him at the time. and a cast gloom
over all. Work was abandoned on the yes-
sci for the day. Nobody saw the bale strike
Foster, but it is supposed that it must have
struck another bale and rebounded on
to him. The bales are as hard as rocks, and
this would naturally have crushed him be-
yond recognition if it had fallen directly
upon him.
Mr.. Foster was \ member of the Long
shoremen's Asso ciation, but he has been
sick this winter, and doubts are entertained
as to whether his dues are paid up to date or
not The remains were carried to bis home
yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.

Arrival of the Sandman.

The Allan line steamship Sandman, Capt
Richardson, arrived yesterday afternoon.
She brought small cargo, which included
2S0 boxes Of tin plates for Portland parties,
and thirty passengers. She had very good
passage.
The Sandman has been changed very
much since she was here last, and presents a
much better appearance. On the last trip
back to England she ran into hurricane,
and had five Of her boats carried away and
thelarge iron dayits were broken off clean
with the rail like so many pipestems. She
has now new set of boats which have been
put overhead instead of on the deck as for
merly. At the same time the boats were
lost the heavy sea struck the smokestack,
tearing it down and killing one engineer and
two firemen, and an engineer and quarter
master each had a leg broken. Before this
damage could be repaired the water washed
down upon the fires and the steam that was
made burst out on the firemen and four were
terribly scalded. When the steamer arrived
at Liverpool she had to be thoroughly over
hauled and repaired.

An Admirable Report of An Adnnira-
BILE Society.

We have received the annual report of the
Associated Charities Of this city, which is
worthy of careful perusal by every citizen
OF Portland, who is interested in the well
fare of society. The report begins with a
list of the officers and directors of the asso-
citation, which embraces most of the notably
charitable workers of Portland, and is fol-
lowed by the secretary's report for 1888, the
address of the president, Mr.. VIM. M. Marks,
and the secIetary's report for 1889. Mrs Lilly
states that nearly 800 kindred organizations
now exist whose purpose is ito encourage
thrift, self dependence and industry through
friendly intercourse, advice and sympathy /;
to diminish vagrancy and pauperism and
their attendant evils, the elevation of the
moral and physical condition of the indi-
gent and, so far as Is compatible with this
design, the relief of their necessities; 10
aid in the relief of all deserving cases of des-
ttution, to elevate the home life, health and
habits of the poor and to prevent children
from growing up paupers." To accomplish
this beneficent work, it is necessary to enlist
the interest of all good people in its behalf.
The Associated Charities of Portland has
been of immense benefit to the poor and to
society at large, and its work is being ex-
tended as rapidly as its limited resources
will permit What is most wanted is per-
sonal service. Ii those who are able will
spare time to investigate its work and en-
gage in helping to carry it on, its usefulness
can be indefinitely increased.
I'm honest poverty" says Mrs. Lilly,
Though not thing to be prayed for now
more than in S0lomon's time, there may be
happiness, and there certainly often is, the
development of the finest character. But
pauperism Is an unmitigated evil. 1t has It's
cause and men are coming to believe that it
has at least its partial cure.
The word Is not used in its legal sense
simply. The man or woman who settles
down to be cared for by charity, to extract
an unearned living from others the children
who learn to ask unblushingly for that Whit b
parents ought to provide, are as truly pau
perized as though the city cart drove weekly
10 tneir door. We may not hope to see Ed
ward Bellamy's fair dream realized, but NAV
we not hope that those who come after us
may see, as result of the work we begin.
