fell somewhere in this section at an early
hour yesterday morning. There is no doubt
about its falling but stories widely differ as
to the place where it landed. Conductor F.

story was all right until the Bangor and Pls-
cataquis train arrived when the train hands
reported the same meteor but said 1t fell In
Shirley near Webster's mill. Their report
agreed with the first one In that 1t was a
glorious object and Illuminated the whole
heavens.
