STRUCK BY A TRAIN.
A Former Conductor of the Grand Trunk
Seriously Injured.

Yesterday afternoon train No. 10 over
the Grand Trunk from Lewiston was on
it's way to this city. When it reached
Yarmouth and was Stacking speed prior
to stopping at the station, MI. Charles
Woodman-a retired conductor of the
road, who resides in the village with his
son, who is station agent-attempted to
cross the tracks. He got fairly over them
suddenly paused, as if uncertain and
confused, and took step or two back
wards which placed him on the track.
The engineer, reversed the engine
but the locomotive struck Mr.. Wood
man. His head was caught be-
tween the fange scraper and cowcatcher,
and he was dragged some feet. When
the train stopped Mr.. Woodman was
taken up and tenderly cared for. But

had received other injuries which
seemed likely to prove fatal.
Mr.. Woodman retired about a year
ago, and had been in the employ of the
road about thirty six years. He is highly
spoken of by all who knew him.

WASHINGTON, March 14.-General
Benjamin F. Butler has won the appeal

court of the United States for the east
ern district of Massachusetts, affirming a
Judgment for $4,000 and interest

Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers.
Butler, while treasurer of the National
Home, advanced SIS 200 to General W. S.

ment of the money and judgment was
given against him. The grounds of the
appeal and of the action of the court to-
day were that the case was not fully
tried and that opportunity dad not been
afforded General Butler u, Show certain

AsCHEME WHICH DIDN'T WORK.
How Baldwin Democrats Tried to Tire Out
the Republicans.
Especial to the Press.1
WEST BALDWIN, March 14.-At the
annual meeting today in Baldwin the fol-
lowing officers were elected for the en-
suing year:
Moderator-P. w. Bindford
CIerk-Frank G. Sawyer.
Se1ectmen, Assessors and OverseerS of the
Poor-Frank G. Sawyer, P. W. Bindford
Treasurer-Che ster f. Burneil.
Supervisor of Schools-FWalter S. Milliken
The town voted to make change from
experimenting school committee to a
supervisor, but before they dared to risk
a vote the Democrats made motions to
change the business from article to article
until they supposed that Republicans
enough had gone home to enable
them to elect their supervisor, which
resulted in majority of one in favor of
the Republican candidate. All the above
officers are Republicans by majorities
ranging from one to thirty. The meet
ing then adjourned until next Saturday
at o'clock p. m.

RICH MEN AS CHURCH MEN.
Address of Rev. walcott Calkins to the
Congregational Club.

1t was ladies' night at the regular
monthly meeting of the Congregational
Club last night, and about 140, an average
number, sat down to the tables at the
Preble House. There were about twenty
invited quests. President Wilson intro
duced the speaker of the evening, Rev.
Walcott ,Calkins, D. D., of Newton, Mass.
Three years ago he read paper before
the club, and he also was here when
President Wilson came to Deering, and
preached the installation sermon on that
occasion. He gave his lecture on
Business Men in Our Churches" After
speaking of the great number of business
men in this country WHO are members of
Protestant churches as compared with
the number of business men in the Catho-
lie church, Mr.. Call1ins spoke of the very
rich men and their relation to the
churches. He, said:
A year ago list of the eighty-four
richest men in the country was pub
lished. I wrote to the author of the
book and learned that the two men
worth $15O,OOO, 900 were professed Chris
tians; also, all but one of the five
men with 500, 100000; also, all but
five of the entire "a, all of whom were
worth over $40, ,000,0
Now the tremendous question is, What
are the responsibilities Of these men in
view of the fact that God has called them
to stand in the present activity Of Chris
tian churches?
The first duty of business men is to set
themselves against this modern epidemic
of accommodating vast wealth. What bust
ness has any man to obtain $100, ,000, 900?
1t is species of insanity and Christian
ity ought to find some cure for it.
The second duty is the opposition of
Christian business men against the sun-
Christian methods of business in our
time.
The amount of money that can be given
away by our rich business men without
disturbing their capital is incredible. In
evangelical churches 100, 900 business men
could give away $4,000 annually, 5000
men, $25, 900 annually; 200 men, $500,00
annually, and 100 men 81 ZOO, 900 annually
without feeling it. The total is 81, ,400,-
100000. What shall be said of the busi-
ness methods that make that possible?
In regard to the third point, he said
that the doctrine of total depravity has
been over-preached. Those who are
down in the hold of the world should be
called on deck and sent aloft, and it is
the business men who know how to trim
the sails better than the ministers. Bus
mess men should get near their brothers,
become neighbors to the worl1ingmen,
protect them from bulls and bears, make
them profit sharers and take them into
partnership. 1t is thus that business
men can manifest the gospel more wide
ly than it can now be preached by
words.
Among the speakers that followed
were Messrs. Stephen Hinkley, A. L.
Burbank, Rev. Gowan Wilson, who has
been travelling through the state to es-
tablish churches in the smaller towns,
Rev. Dwight NJ. Pratt and Rev. j. G.
Merrill.

THE EX.PRESTDENT WRITES OF
THE NOMINATION.

Personally, He Says, Hoe Desnt Care to
Be President-He Couldn't Try for
Such an Exalted Oficc but Intimatcs
that He Wouldn't Refuse if Sufficiently
Urged-A Reply to the Man Who Loves
Him for His Enemies.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, March 14.-Gen.
Edward S. Bragg, author of the famous
phrase. s'We love him for the enemies he
has made" has been urging Ex-President
Cleveland to make public avowal of his
position in connection with the approach
ing Democratic Presidential convention.
The ex-President says in reply: eff
might only consider my personal desires
and individual ease and comfort, my re-
sponse would be promptly made, without
the least reservation or difficulty. But if
you are right in supposing the subject
related to a duty owe the country
and my party, condition exists
which makes such private and personal
considerations entirely irrevelant. 1 can
not refrain from declaring to you that
my experience in the great Office of Pres
ident of the United States SO impressed
me with the solemnity of the trust and
its responsibilities / cannot bring myself
to regard candidacy for the place as
something to be won by personal strife
and active self-assertion. have an idea
that the Presidency is pre-eminently the
peoples Office and have been
sincere in my constant advocacy
of effective participation in political
affairs on the part Of all of our citizens.
Consequently believe the people should
be heard in the choice Of their party can
didates, and that they themselves should
make the nominations as directly as is
consistent with open, fair and full
party organization and methods. L
speak of these things solely for the pur-
pose of advising you that my conception
of the nature of the Presidential Office
and that my conviction that the voters of
our party should be free in the selection
of their candidates preclude the possibil-
ity of my leading and pushing a self
seeking canvass for the Presidential
nomination, even if had desire to be
again candidate

ing, bringing to this port about 175 of
the 400 passengers whom she brought
across. Captain McAuley reports an
uneventful passage; but says that his
voyage from here to Liverpool on the
last trip was the roughest he ever expe-
rienced. A succession of easterly gales,
occasionally varied by q hurricane, met
the vessel throughout the voyage. Mr..
Edward A. Noyes stood the tossing very
well; but Mrs. Burnham and the Misses
Simonton were quite miserable all the
way over. But they are all very enthu-
siastic over the Labrador, which they
found very comfortable in spite of the
weather. T
