THE GRAND TRUNK ACCIDENT.
Further Particulars of the Sad Affair Near
Coaticook.

Further intelligence received from the
sad accident on the Grand Trunk at Goa
ticook shows that the washout that
caused the disaster was 100 feet wide by
Is feet deep. The engineers have drawn
off enough water to expose the wrecked
engine. When the accident occurred in
vestigation has shown that the engine
pissed over the washout about one-half
of its own length as shown by the marks
on the rails and when the cars behind
struck the engine they jack
knived over. The engine rested on the
baggage and express cars, crushing
them, while the second-class car went
down with the wreck. The frst-class
car was so fortunate as to stick to the
rails. The second-class car went down
stream and landed on the rocks below
and was demolished. In the second
class car there was but one passenger as
far as is known, whose name the author
tiles do not know and who lies under the
ruins. There was also man, it is re-
ported who was riding on the engine

It Has Come
To This

That every successful, meritor-

This is a grave injustice, for
the genuine pure article will

and purer materials, than
Flavoring Extracts.
In this instance cheap mater
ials mean inferior flavors.

Resolved, That the delegates from Harrison
are hereby requested to use all honorable
means to secure the nomination of Charles A.

SiOner.
We are authorized to state that VIM.
FL. Looney, ESQ.,, has withdrawn from
the contest for the state senatorial nomi-
nation for the Portland division. Mr..
Looney said yesterday that the consider
ations which prompted his withdrawal
were purely personal. He had, he said,
determined long since to withdraw from
active participation in politics, and de-
vote himself entirely to the practice of
his profession--to acquiring strength and
ability as lawyer.
Many of the wage-earners, and polite
ians Of the party, particularly among the
younger element, had persuaded him to
become a candidate for senator, and he
felt reasonably sure of the nomination.
But the conviction was forced upon him
that his best interests demanded his
withdrawal. This too was the advice of
few of his warmest friends whom he
had consulted. He rendered his heart
felt thanks to his many friends who had
SO generously assisted him, and promised
to do everything in his power to promote
the success of the Republican ticket this
fall.

Savage Legends,

The savage islanders of the south
Pacific believe that the world is cocoa
nut shell of enormous dimensions, at
the top of which is a single aperture
communicating with the upper air,
where human beings dwell. At the
very bottom Of this imaginary shell is a
stem gradually tapering to point which
represents the beginning of all things
This point is a spirit or demon without
human form, whose name is, "Root of
All Existence" By him the entire
fabric of creation is sustained.
In the interior of the cocoanut shell,
at its very bottom, lives female demon.
So narrow is the space into which she is
crowded that she is obliged to sit for
ever with knee and chin touching. Her
name is 1.-The Very Beginning" and
from her are sprung numerous spirits.
They inhabit five different floors, into
which the great cocoanut is divided.
From certain Of these spirits mankind
is descended. The islanders, regarding
themselves as the only real men and
women, were formerly accustomed to
regard strangers as evil spirits in the
guise of humanity, whom they killed
when they could, offering IT, n, as sac1-
fces.-Exchange.

Anne. lean Pie INDICATED.

The American pie has triumphed.
There was a time when pie was in dis
grace. It was considered an indigesti-
ole and inexcusable culinary connection.
In England, where it was almost tanta-
mount to misprision of treason to sug-
gest that plum pudding is too rich to be
healthful, pie-except perhaps mince
pie, which is as rich and dubious as
plum pudding tabooed. But, like
the oppressed of all nations, it found
shelter in America. There were New
England housewives who made pies
which were delicious and comforting to
the inner man, and the pumpkin pie be-
came associated with the festival Of
Thanksgiving in a manner altogether
honorable to those who were responsible
for ''making and uttering" it.
Then arose the great American philos-
opher, Emerson, the most essentially
classic type of man who has fiourished
in this western world, and Emerson ate
pie three times day. DR.. johnson used
to say that ''the man who drinks beer
thinks beer" Ralph Waldo Emerson
ate pie and thought philosophy. The
American pie was vindicated.-M ilwau-
kee Wisconsin.

Oiling q Highwaym an.

There used to be-and may be yet
on the Las Cruces division of the Santa
Fe railway an engineer known as "Big
Jack Long" One night Jack was alone
at his engine, oiling up the machine,
while the rest of his crew, like the pas
sengers, were at supper in the dingy
eating house. The train was long one,
and the engine was well away from the
little cluster of buildings. Suddenly
''Throw up your hands!' was growled
at him, and Jack found himself looking
into gun in the hands of a hard look
ing citizen.
The fellow demanded money, and
Jack began to argue, protesting that he
had but dollar in his pockets, and that
to take that were cruelty, since it was
meant to pay for his supper. Yes, the
marauder was determined to have the
sack, even if it had but single dollar.
During the discussion Jack slipped his
hand from bulb to nozzle of the long
machinist's oiler and edged around the
head of the locomotive, finally backing
across the track, closely followed by the
temporizing holder up.
When the man was so well into the
glare of the headlight as to guide Jacks
address, this worthy promptly laid over
his head with the heavy oiler for a
bludgeon, and when the victims yells
had drawn forth the supping contin-
gent, Jack had beaten his assailant al
most senseless and stood, weapon in
hand, looking down at him and saying
grimly, "Well! | guess I've got you so
well oiled up that you won't run hot
again for one while"--San Francisco

The Growth of Seaweed.

Seaweeds vary surprisingly in their
habits of life. Some species grow alto
gether beneath the water, attaching
themselves below the lowest tide level:
others frequent heights where they are
left dry at every retreating tide, while
others yet are found in situations where
they are scarcely ever covered by water.
Whereas most of them attach them
selves to rocks or solid bottom, keeping
to the shadows, there are exceptions to
the rule, among which the most remark
able is the ''sergasso," or ''gulf weed"
which floats on the surface of the ocean.
Immense fields of it are seen by the
navigator, extending as far as the eye
can reach. 1t is sometimes so abundant
as seriously to interfere with the prog
ress of ships, and it was this which so
alarmed the crew of Columbus on his
first voyage Of Observation-Disclosures in
Washington Star.

1t is. in every sense. social Club, as
politics, religion or nationality are nc
bar to its membership. They play al
kind of games for amusement, discuss
political, religious, scientific, general
and social topics of the day.
One social feature that has been neg
lected by the older members will be
started in the near future. that is social
gaming parties at which the lady friends
of the members Will be invited. The OBJ
ject is to make it as much like home

young may enjoy themselves without in
cOnveniencing some good housewife.
This will be in addition to the dancing
