SHOOTING LIVE BIRDS.
Fifth Contest of the California Club al

Fifth Contest of the California Club at
the Oakland Track.
The members of the California Wing
Club enjoyed a good days sport yesterday,
the occasion being the fifth liye-bird con-
test for the season of 1891 While the at
tendance was not as large as at some of the
former shoots, the interest manifested by
those VINO took part, combined with the
quality of the pigeons used, went to make
up one Of the most enjoyable days sport of
the season.
For the regular match there were twelve
entries, and this was won by Robinson on
twelve straight birds, using his second bar
rel on three only.
Slade also did good work in this contest,
and was in fair way to tie Robinson up to
his eighth bird, which was a swift driver.
This one he failed to bring down, even with
a second barrel, but the pigeon was hit and
died just out OF bounds. Slade used his sec
ond barrel only three times on eleven birds,
and his finest work was on left-auarter
drivers, which came to him quite often.
Dahl and Hunt killed ten birds each, and
Smith did only fair work, getting nine birds

the BOTTOM CROPPED OUT.
And Down Went the Dexter and Pis.
cataquis Tracks.
Dexter Gazette.l


1t wasn't In Lisbon town, but in Dexter,
yet "the earth opened and gulped her down"
just the same. 1t wasn't an earthquake g
shock, but was all due to a very uncertain
stateo of affairs at Lily Pond, about three
miles above this village.
The track of the Dexter and Piscataquis
road runs along the margin of the pond. On
Saturday morning at about six O'clock, the
section crew discovered that the road bed
for the distance of about four rods length
was sinking. The gravel train had been fill
ing and ballasting at this point the day be-
fore. BY careful man9yering the forenoon
trains managed to cross the slough, but at
noon the bottom was out of sight. Measure
ments showed that the road-bed had sunk
nearly eight feet. Water still covered the
site of the track and it was very evident that
the bottom was still receding. Out in the
pond, abont twenty feet from the shore, a
considerable area of muck was forced up,
forming an island. The more earth was
dumped into this "bottomless pit" the larger
grew this island.
Altogether 1t was very curious state of
affairs and just how to get solid track
across that hole was problem that railroad
men found nnsolved after days hard labor.
Sieepers, telegraph poles and timbers help
Ill the hungry hole, but the bog gulped them
all down and yawned for more. At last the
place was abandoned and the track was
swung about twenty feet to the south. 1t
now rests upon solid ground and trains are
running regularly. During Saturday after
noon passengers were transferred about the
scene Of b0ggy triumph.
When Brown Bros. built the road, they
ran poles down over forty feet without
striking solid earth.

WHILE MEN STOOD HELPLESS
Four unfortunates Roasted 10 Death
in the Shattered Boiler.

PITTsBURG, Pa, July 3.-Particulars have
been received here of the wreck at Ravenna,
Ohio. In the first shock of the collision, the
front end of the boiler was broken in and, as
the engine ploughed through the mass of
humanity, four men were actually scooped
up in the cauldron. Wounded and helpless,
there they lay, slowly roasting to death be-
fore the very eyes of the spectators. The
bodies were afterwards fshed out piecemeal
by firemen's hooks. The Aetna building was
transformed into mOrgue and, as the mass
es of burned flesh were hooked out they were
hastily removed there. Identification was
difficult. In half a dozen instances the en-
tire head was burned off. Among the entire
19 beheaded and disembered bodies. but two
of human being. The coroner temporarily
removed from one form clotted sheet to
find beneath it the unmistakable form of
woman with an infant In her arms.
A searching examination is now being
made of the survivors. One fact impressed
on all here, Is that not one of the trainmen
met with injury. w. G. Young, of Mead
Vile, conductor on the freight train said /:
ave were running at a moderate rate of
speed, but the grade was steep, and we had
heavy train. The fiagman was not out far
enough. so we could not see him In time to
stop. All the trainmen got off In time to es-
cape injury" The sleepers were the "War-
saw" and "Ascoll." The rear car was a
special. in which were party of glass
blowers. This car and the WARSAW" next
to 1t. we're completely destroyed. The loss
will foot up In the neighborhood of $100, 900.

Believes Sunday Concerts Are All
Right.

To the Editor of the Press:
There Is no good reason why music should
not be enjoyed in the open air ON Sunday,
and in providing for it in the public parks.
the city government will make no mistake.
The eevating and refining influences OF
music, cannot fail to prove a benefit and a
pleasure to the people at large.
1t Is about time for somebody to arise and
speak for the people, since one of your cor
respondents assumes to oppose Sunday con-
certs in behalf of the "Christian people"
No one objects to the latters' enjoyment of
their regular Sunday hymns with cornet ac-
companimenD which they believe to be the
proper thing in Sunday music, but il there
happens to be class of people who desire
to enjoy their music in the park, and the
city government choose to provide it, on what
reasonable grounds can these christian
people" oppose, since nobody proposes to in
terfere with or TO criticize their methods of
passing the Lords day. There is no valid
argument against music on Sunday in the
open air the dark days of superstition, big
0ty and ignorance having passed away. On
| no other grounds could anyone oppose it.
1t Is to be hoped that the city government
will not be deferred from providing music
for the people, by any protests from persons
advertising themselves as "Christian
people" HENRY j. EDWARDS.
