A SPECIAL EXPRESS TRAIN,
An Arrangement That VIII Prove a
Great Convenience.

It's stated semi-officially by prominent
railroad officials that as soon as the summer
season opens special train composed en-
tireiy OF American Express cars, will run
from Boston through to Bangor, Bar Harbor
and, perhaps, beyond if the service warrants
1t. The train will leave Boston Just ahead,
or behind, the Pullman now running, and
VIII run, as that does, over the Eastern divi-
sion to North Berwick, changing over there
to the western and coming through Bidde-
lord, Saco and Old Orchard. 1t is not yet
definitely settled whether, beyond Portland,
the train will run by way of Brunswick and
Augusta, or on this back route through Lew
iston, although the prevailing impression is
that it will go by way of Lewiston.
The amount of express matter now carried
on the Pullman trains, both ways, is some
thing enormous, often requiring three cars.
With the increase in business in the summer
it will be so large that special train will be
a necessity. The express company has in
mind the idea of relieving, by this arrange
ment, the railroad company from carrying as
freight great many small parcels that are
not source of much profit, interfering as
they do with making up full car lots.
There is no reason why this express train
should not pay from the start, nor why it
should not be kept on the road all the year
round
1t is probable, although not yet decided,
that the fruit cars which the Fruit and
Produce Exchange have petitioned for will
be attached to this train, so that berries and
peaches will come through in the night and
be in the markets by breakfast time as far
east as Bar. Harbor.

Thomas WEIGH VS.. The Maine Central Railroad
Action to recover damages laid at $50 600, for
personal injuries sustained by tile plaintifl
through dump car loaded with % ayel failing
upon him. December 22, 1888 Thomas WEIGH
was at work for Mr.. ShanahaH, the contractor,
hauling dirt In dump cars to be used in grading
land for II. N. Jose, around and under the Forest
City Creamery, near the Congress street crossing
of the Maine Central WEIGH was shovelling into
the dump cars the dirt left at the crossing by the
Maine Central gravel cars: The gravel cars were
loaded by steam shovel in the Ogdensburg cut
below the Union Station. The plaintiff claims
lndl tlo Trip DtIOro Welcn was DufU a lump OF
frozen EARTH or something like that, tore off one
Of the hinged sdeboards Of the gravel car SO that
the next time 1t was loaded the load was mostly
on one side. WEIGH did not know that the side
board was off nor that the load was mostly on one
side. The conductor of the gravel train, as the
plaintiff claims, did know IL, as he went bach
and forth each trip, but instead of telling WEIGH
and the rest OF Shanahan's men, he went off some
where else. When the cars were coming along
Shanahan's crew crossedt the track to bein position
to dump the cars when they stopped. When the
cars were left the men undertook TO dump them in
the usual way which is for each man to put one
shoulder under the sill of the car and ali lift to-
gether The dirt then falls ON the opposite side,
The top of the dump car is about seven feet from
the ground, so that man could not see over the
edge to judge OF the condition of the load or
whether the opposite sideboard was off or not.
Surprising the cars were loaded as usual WEIGH
and the rest of crew put each one his shoulder
uuder the car and lifted. They got the car up
part way when the car suddenly fell back crush
ing WEIGH, breaking his back and fracturing his
leg so that the bone protruded. Welch died from
his injuries but not until he had begun this suit
which is continued by the administrator of his es-
tate.
At noon the jury by order of court, went down
to the Union Station and viewed the gravel car
and the place of the accident.
The testimony for the plaintiff was not finished
when court adjourned.

PORTLAND. April 0, 1880.
WEARS ago the cap
tains of our mer-
chant ships inva-
riably brought from India
pieces of soft creamy silks
which delighted the hearts
of our grandmothers and
was usually considered the
indispensable fabric for
their wedding gowns.
These silks were soft
and beautiful and many
have been carefully pre-
served and laid away as
family relics.
Fashion has again
brought these silks into
favor and within the past
year skillful buyers have
been sent to India for the
purpose of selecting the
most desirable productions
of the looms.
The creamy whites and
soft Indian colors are ex-
quisite as they are, but in
blacks the natives have not
excelled.
In order to offer these
desirable goods in a per-
manent black a New York
importer had a lot shipped
to Lyons, France, to be
dyed black as it can be
done in Lyons and no.
where else in the world.
We have unusual facili-
ties for obtaining these
goods and are now offering
black India Silks at 50,
IS, So and SI.oo per yard
which we do not think will
be excelled in the United
States.
We also have white,
cream, maize, Nile, blue
and many other choice col
orings in a range Of reason
