indian Devils Still Feared Wolves In
Aroostook Forests.
[Aroostook Republican,

lAro0StoOk Republican
1t is with regret Aroostook sportsmen will
learn that wolves have at last made their
appearance in this section, as we learn that
several of these animals have been seen near
Square lake this winter. On Monday of last
week James Ran dali started from McGuire's
camp on Beaver Brook to go to Washburn, a
distance of twenty miles. Althoul b dvlsed
to carry rife, he believed he would not
need one, and started without. He had pro-
ceeded about a mile when he saw what he
though to be dogs fresh track along one
side of the tote road" Going on far Their
his attention was again attracted by cling
that the track had left the road and ex end
ed toward the forest on one side. Upon
glancing in that direction he was surprised to
see a large gray wolf sitting up, not far
away, and looking at him in cool and I'M
concerned manner. Mr.. Randall made a
quick movement toward the wolf and the
animal made off very leisurely. Mr.. Randall
proceeded on his journey and after having
gone about two miles he was again surprised
to come in sight of a caribou standing in the
centre of tie road: The caribou stood his
ground shaking his lowered head as Mr..
Randall advanced, and retreated into the
woods only when the mans stentorian voice
sounded strange noises in his ears Even
then he retreated slowly as If ashamed of
his weakness.

Prof. smyth,s Appeal.

The statement telegraphed yesterday
morning that the Hon. George d. Robinson,
to whom was referred the question of the
eligibility Of the Rev. DR.. Eustis to sit in
the trial Of the Andover professors, had de.
cided against the latter was grossly mislead-
ing. The report was not, as the despatch
said. against Mr.. Smyth and in favor of the
visitors" 1t was not in favor of or against
any one. Prof. Smyth appealed from the
decision of the Board Of Visitors on the
ground that Rev. DR.. Eustis, who sat in the
trial, was incapacitated for several reasons.
The most important of these reasons was
shat he had practically convicted the ac-
cused before the trial, inasmuch as he had
repeatedly and with much vehemence as
serted that Prof. Smyth taught heretical doc
trines and ought therefore to be removed.
Other reasons alleged were that DR.. Eustis
was unduly influenced by Prof. Park and
others tnat he was prejudiced against Prof.
Smyth; that he abstained from voting ON the
cases of Professors Harris, Tucker, Hincks
and Churchill in order that they might be
acquitted and Prof. Smyth convicted; and
that he SO abstained for the further purpose
OF dissuading President Seelye from resign
Ing from the Board Of Visitors The refer
eDce to Mr.. Robinson was made not for him
to decide whether these reasons, all or any of
them, constitute disqualification of Dr..
Eustis, but whether the facts alleged which
constituted the basis of these reasons were
true, that is to say. whether these reasons
had any existence. The Supreme court will
decide whether the reasons constitute dis
qualification. Mr.. Robinson's duty was SIM
ply TO find the facts. The effect of these facts
the Supreme court will determine.
Mr.. Robinson confined himself strictly to
mis- duty and did not attempt to pronounce
Judgment in the case. His finding is in
Orief, that the allegation that DIR. Eustis had,
before the trial, repeatedly expressed an
opinion on the case, and one entirely against
Prof. Smyth, is true. AS to the other allie
cations, he finds them either not proven or
completely disproved. All the elements of
disqualification except previous expression OF
opinion are now eliminated, and the court will
undoubtedly confine itself to determining
whether this previous expression of opinion
incapacitated DIR. Eustis from giving Prof.
Smyth fair and impartial trial. In some
States an expression Of opinion much less
strong than those INDUCED in by DIR. Eustis
would undoubtedly disqualify juror In
other States the law does not disqualify a
juror for mere previous expression of opin-
Ion, unless 1t amounts pretty nearly to set
tied conviction. As DR.. Eustis was proba-
bly, pretty thoroughly familiar with both
sides Of the controversy before the trial his
previous opinion was probably not based, on
% parse eyidencs, and therefore undoubt-

No believer in civil service reform will
throw any obstacles In the way of an inves-
tigation of the acts Of any commissioner I'M
der the civil service law. The favolitism
which is alleged on the part of one of the
commissioners is one Of the things the law
was created to put stop to, and If 1t has not
d'ne so either by reason of some inherent
defect in the law or some negligence
or corruption on the part Of Its administra-
tors, civil service reformers will be only
too glad to know it and applya remedy.
Mr.. Ewart and Mr.. Houck need not flatter
themselves that by insisting on an ihvestiga-
tion they will hurt the feelings of ally civil
service reformer. None of the latter will
object to it, though naturally enough they
cannot help regarding with suspicion the
zeal OF these men. all of whom are In favor
ofthe old spoils system whose chief corner
stone was favoritism, either personal or
political, in the pursuit of a civil service
reform commissioner on a charge of giving
certain parties an undue advantage over
others.

There is particularly vicious engine
on the East Tennessee road.
It has killed twenty=seven men. and
engineers and firemen feel Q superstitious
dread whenever they have to take run
ON the rails with this man killer.
~ sometimes feel" said grizzled old
stoker few days ago, ''that there is a
murderous spirit in that engine. She
killed two men before she got on the
rails. While she WAS being steamed up
in the shops plug blew out, and two
mechanics were scalded TO death. Then
it was brought south and sent out on its
first run. She mounted the rails and
plunged down an embankment, killing
her engineer and fireman.
"Soon afterwards she was fixed up
and put on the road again. She ran for
a while all right, until one night the en-
gineer that was driving her saw head
light bearing down on him and tried to
reverse the lever and run back; but the
engine acted like mule and wouldn't
answer to the throttle. She went whirl-
ing on and crashed into the other train.
Five men were killed in the two engine
boxes.

can emigrant train was running ahead.
and tho engineer of the man killer had
orders to lool, out for it. After a run of
an hour or so he came in sight of the
emigrant train as it rumbled slowly up
heavy grade; then it disappeared over
the crest and this devil of an engine went
charging up and over about a minute be-
hind. The engineer expected to see the
emigrants away down the track, but
they had slowed up and were only few
hundred yards ahead. Down went the
engine believing like mad. "'' IS soon
