THE wEsT-TURcEoN CONTEST
Action Taken by the Portland Wheel
Club Last Night.

In the Portland papers have appeared the
challenge of Mr.. W. G. West of Portland to
George V. Turgeon of Lewiston, who tied
Mr.. West at the contest at COTS hill. Au-
burn, and Mr.. Turgeon's reply. At meet
ing of the Portland Wheel Club, held last
evening, paper was drawn up which, after
quoting the challenge and reply, says;
To the public at large this leaves matters
In a very vague light. A brief restatement
Of the case seems to us warranted. Mr..
West on his first attempt at climbing the hill
was called off by mistake before the finish
was reached; when he dismounted he was
fifteen seconds ahead Of his competitors
time and, had he ridden through to goal line
there would have been no question as to the
result. Within half an.hour he re-climbed the
hill coming within half second OF Mr.. Tur-
geon's time. SO poor were the arrangements
made by the judges for determining exact
time, that 1t was impossible for them to state
absolutely to which Of the two men belonged
the honor OF the race. They therefore de-
clared 1t tie, which Mr.. West was perfectly
willing to ride of. but this Mr.. Turgeon de-
clined to do. 1t was then advised that the
men settle it between themselves, and this
they did In the following manner: The first
and second prizes consisted Of a French
clock and pair Of field glasses; there was
also box Of choice cigars which were to go
to the winner; Mr.. West preferred the field
glasses and Mr.. Turgeon the clock, which
latter was taken, not as a first prize, but sim
ply as one Of choice. The cigars were
divided equally.
Mr.. Turgeon declared In the presence Of
judges and other witnesses, that he was per-
fectly satisfied with this arrangement. Since
this settlement, however, the makers Of the
machine Mr.. Turgeon rode, have claimed
first prize for their wheel and man. Mani
festly this places Mr.. West In a very unfair
position and this statement, which ends the
matter Is published In simple justice to him.

The board, as previously announced, was
in session at the Preble House on Wednes-
day, and Of the three competitors the Bath
man carried off all the honors. Mr.. j. P.
Johnston of Dixfeld was awarded the certi-
ficate of Qualified Assistant as the result Of
an examination held few days before. The
board adjourned soon after 5 p. M, to meet
at Bangor on che 18th Of August, should the
fates prove propiti0us.
AS the metric system is to be made obliga-
tory in the forthcoming seventh revision of
the United States Pharmacopeia, it is i'm
portant to call the attention of the younger
men in the profession to the indispensable
necessity of an accurate acquaintance with
it.
The utter neglect of the study of chemis-
try, even In its elements, has been a source
of annoyance to the examiners all through
the experience Of the past thirteen years.
The plea Of the majority of candidates for
a certificate, that they have never studied
chemistry, has more than once raised the
question whether they should be rejected on
that account. But where their performance
has been satisfactory in materia medica and
practical pharmacy, and the extremely limit
ed opportunities enjoyed by young men from
the country drug stores, who have had no
guidance whatever in commencing and car
rying on the study of the scientific part of
the business, hasibeen taken into considera-
tion, judgment has always been swayed on
the side Of lenity.

The Miraculous Escape of a Train
Load of Passengers.

CLEVELAND, o., June 13.-A train load of
passengers on the Cleveland, Canton &
Southern railroad had a miraculous escape
from death in an accident at the crossing Of
that road and the Cleveland & Pittsburg
line, near Jones's avenue, this city, this
morning. As it was, several persons were
seriously injured. at 9.35 o'clock, Cleve-
land & Canton & Southern passenger train,
consisting of two coaches and locomotive,
and Cleveland & Pittsburg locomotive,
drawing way freight. both being bound
toward the city, approached the GRO ssing of
the roads. The target man at the crossing
set the signal giving the passenger train the
right of way. The passenger train ap-
preached the crossing, but the Cleveland &
Pittsburg locomotive did not slacken its
speed. The express engine and half OF the
forward car were over the crossing when the
freight locomotive struck the coach and
crashed into its side. The heavy car was
thrown upon its side, on top of the targel
house. which was split into kindling wood.
The target post was thrown to the ground,
but the signal remained set for the Cleve-
land, Canton g. Southern track. The coup
ling OF the engine was broken, and the loco
motive Of the train remained upon the track.
The coupling with the rear coach was also
DrOkeu, DuI LndJ car was thrown from tn0
rails The Cleveland & Pittsburg locomo-
tive, which is said to have caused the acci-
dent, left the track. The pilot had lifted
the car and turned it upon the side, after
breaking through the heavy frame: The
passengers were terribly frightened at the
entrance of the locomotive into their car,
and rush was made for the doorway. One
by one the uniDjured climbed through the
opening, and were assisted by patrolman.
The injured were taken to the Jones avenue
depot of the Cleveland, Canton & Southern
road, where their wounds were dressed be-
fore their further removal. w. r. Carver,of
Kent, Ohio, was quite seriously injured
abont the head and hips. Mrs. Joseph Nash
of Kent was injured in the spine and also
internally. Mrs. w. Westfall of Bedford,
Ohio, was caught between the seats and her
back injured; she was also.cut with flying
glass. Mrs Stephen Parker of Bedford was
cut on the head and her back wrenched.
Miss Ada Fisher of Miles avenue was seri-
ously shaken up, the shock rendering her
temporarily blind. Rev. DR.. d. Fl. Mailer of
Canton was in the passenger car, into which
the locomotive ran, His head and face were
deeply cut, and his nervous system greatly
shocked.
