wILLED HIS BODY AWAY.
Paul Caron, in His Dying Moments, Sep
arated From His Wife.

skowhegan, Me-, April so.-ipaul Caron,
who died at the home of Cbmarles avery on
North street Friday niglS, ,r,as buried Sum
day, the funeral services being held from
the Catholic church early Sunday morning.
Mrs. Caron was allowed to attend the SER
vices as a visitor, but not as mourner. She
also paid part of the funeral expenses.
Two children, boy and girl by his first
wife, were given to his sister-in-law, who
resides in Lewiston. Mr.. Caron's age was
thirty-nine years.
About six years ago Caron, a French
Catholic, married Protestant, divorced
woman, His church refused to perform or
sanction this marriage, but Caron's affec-
tion oyercame his religious scruples and he
was united to the woman by a civil cere-
mony.
A few weeks ago it became evident that
Caron must die of consumption. His
thoughts turned again toward his church
and he sent for the priest. The father said
that the petitioner could not be received
back until he put away the woman to whom
he had been married That she was not and
never had been his wife in the eyes of the
church and heaven, and that his relations
with her had therefore been sinful. CarOn
was much impressed with this statement.
About two weeks ago whether by his own
directions or not, is not stated, he was re-
moved on his sick bed to the house of a
neighbor, Charles Avery. Caron's wife
claims that her husband was taken from her
by force, by orders of the priest, whose
words had excited and overpersuaded the
patient, weakened by his long illness. On
the other hand, the church people claim
that it was by his own choice and that he
had resolved to sever his relations with Mrs.
Caron, in order to die in the church. The
wife, who is an estimable woman, then said
she should claim the body and, as result of
this, Caron made will bequeathing his
body to friend, in order that it might be
buried in Catholic cemetery. AS above
shown the funeral was held in accordance
with Carons desire, Mrs. Caron making no
active opposition.

MAY TIE UP THE ROAD.
Rhode Island Train Men Demand Free
Trains for Kelley's Buns.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 30.-A general tie
up of the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
may be the result of the refusal OF that
road to transport Kelley's army free, or
make special rates. Leading members of the
local unions of the American Railway
Union had meeting last night. The local
union has 457 members in complete
sympathy with the leaders. AS result OF
last nights deliberations, telegram was
sent President Eugene V. Debs of the Rail-
way Union, urging general tie up OF the
Rock Island, if it does not assist in forward
ing the army to it's destination. President
Debs was asked to order vote in the union
on a propositionsthat to effect. Debs replied
that he would be here tomorrow. The
privilege of sleeping in building last night
and an ample meal this morning strength
ened the determination of Kelley's men to
remain in Des Moines until they can travel
on the trains. General Superintendent
Dunlap says the American Railway union is
not strong enough to tie up the Rock
Island.

WHERE ARE THEY AT +?
Republican SenatorsAsking the Democrats
Uncomfortable Questions.

Washington, April 30.-In the Senate
Mr.. Teller, Republican, of Colorado, stat
ed that he was not in favor of the bill
as it now stood, nor was he in favor OF
the bill as it came from the House. He
declared himself in favor of the income
tax.
Mr.. HawIey, Republican, of Connecti-
cut, referred to the sectional character
of the bill, saying it was matured sub
stantially by three gentlemen from
west of the Mississippi.
Mr.. Palmer, Democrat, of Tllionis, said
the bill was to be judged not by its au-
thors, but by is provisions.
Mr.. Hale Republican, Of Maine. put
the question to Mr.. Palmer as to wheth-
er the bill under discussion was the one
that would be voted on and was met
with bysthe scriptural quotation, sure
ly in vain a net is spread in sight of any
bird" If the Senator from Maine, MIR.
Palmer added, could give any assurance
of important changes to be made on the
bill he should do so, and should not ask
answers to mere surmises.
MTs 6dl6 pcISlSbCd Ill th4aAA LIS ~ @"AAs
Palmer what Secretary Carlisle meant
when he said in newspaper interview
that an effort had been made to agree
upon such changes in the bill as would
secure for it the united and active sup
port of all the Democratic Senators.
Mr.. Palmer's reply was, IF the Sena-
tor desires to know what the Secretary
of the Treasury means, let him ask the
Secretary" (Laughter.) !,
Mr. Fl ale stat an what he called good
authority, that some interviews brought
up in the Senate were not interviews
picked up by newspaper correspondents,
bus given ssout by Senators themselves
with request that they be published:
: Mr.. Chandler subsequently asserted
that that was the case with Mr.: Car
isles interview printed this morning.
Mr.. Turpie, Democrat, of Indiana, IN
voice quivering with passion, attacked
Mr.. Aldrich, charging him with having
put forward three lies, gross and palpa-
BILE, viz. that there were 30 amendments
to be offered by the finance committee; /;
that the bill never had been considered
by the committee, and~tbat IL was not
the bill which would be finally presented
for action.
The only notice Mr.. Aldrich took of the
bitter attack upon him was the quiet re-
mark that he did not suppose the Sena-
tor from Indiana represented anybody
but himself, and that under oJner conoi-
tions the Senator would not have made
the speech he had just made.
The Only Thriving Industry,
Washington, April 30.-The House
today resumed consideration of the ar

the bill reducing the number of surgeons

time in crippling the army. which at
present, seemed the only fiourishing and
popular industry, public or private. At
ter debate the provlso was rejected.
The bill was passed.

Unless Ke1Ieys Hobos Get Free Rides.
Washington, April 3O.-James S. Coxey's
800 followers spent a bad night last night
at Camp Thaddeus Stevens, as Marshal
Carl Browne has named the Brlghtwood
diving park where the army of the Common
veal is located. The pilgrims had no shelter
besides that afforded by the walls of the big
tent which incloses the encampment proper.
They were chilled to the bone. and many
of them did not close their eyes until the
warm sun of this morning brought comfort
to their sore and tired bodies. The Com
monwealers have looked on the National
Capitol as the promised land, but they
found it very little different from the desert
out of which their Moses and their Joshua
Coxey and Browne-had led them. Naturally
there was much dissatisfaction with this
state of affairs, and many of the men made
no attempt to keep down their growls.
At noon Coxey was reported to be at the
District Commissioners office trying to OBJ
tain permission to bring his forces into the
city to a vacant square near the Navy YARD,
along the line of the old James Creek Canal.
The preparations made about IL a. m.,
which seemed to betoken breakfast proved
to be false alarm. No breakfast was forth
coming for the hungry ''wealers,'' and at l
o'clock signs of open mutiny were observ-
able. The commissary wagon was sent into
the city to obtain supplies. 1t did not return
until 1.3O The hungry Commonwealers
made rush for it, but it was empty. Com
missary Sergeant Glyn, did not return with
the wagon. The accusation that he was in
toxicated in town helped increase the dis
content. Shortly before p. M, the re-
serve stores were drawn on and the men
were served with black coffee and bread.
The promise of the commissary officers that
meat and potatoes would be served for din
ner did not satisfy the discontented army,
and the Philadelphia contingent talked
strongly of W ithdrawing.

A Disaster which Costs the Province of
Quebec Several Lives and Half Mil
lion Dollars-One Family of Four Per-
sons Carried to Destruction in Their
House-Scientists Say the Land Was
Honeycombed by tho Water.
Quebec, April 30.-At about $50 Friday
night, the inhabitants of the quiet little
village of st. Alban, some for ty-five miles
from here in the county of Port Neuf,
heard a terrific noise resembling the roll of
thunder in the distance. The soil commenc-
ing to vibrate, panic ensued. At the upper
end of the village, some three miles from
the parish church, is curve formed by the
river st. Anne. Close to the curve is deep
water fall. The ground forming the right
hand side of the fall gave way, burying the
pulp wood mill, situated underneath, and
blocking the course of the stream. The
stream was very rapid on account of the
melting snow from the mountains and ad-
jacent valley and spread over the adjoining
arms. This caused the badly stayed for un-
dermined embankment to slide into the
ri yer, filling it up. Seven houses were
carried into the river. One was occupied
by family named Gauthier, numbering our
persons, all of whom perished. The ground
which slid into the river measured six
square miles. Whole farms were destroyed
with the stock and farm produce. The old
bed of the st. Anne river is now levelled
and the river runs miles from where it
coursed before. Three bridges were carried
away at St. Alban, St. Casimir and St.
Anne. The rush of Water from the Lauren
tian chain of mountains is tremendous during
the spring time, owing to the melting of
snow and it is. thought by scientific men
that the ground has became honeycombed
by the water, owing to the fact that the
lower strata of the soil formation are mostly
of clay. Large tracts of land with trees and
vegetation have been shifted without much
disturbance in other places. The st. Law
renee at Quebec is covered with wreckage
and carcasses Of animals. The market boats
were unable to come down Saturday from
the adjacent parishes owing to the amount
of wreckage floating in thes stream. The
losses are estimated at S5O0,W0.

you think you must. You don't eat enough
to properly nourish yourself. You are
really slowly starving.
The trouble behind it jail is Indigestion.
Your stomach doesn't want any food. 1t
knows if it got it, it couldn't digest it.
You must humor your stomach for it will
break down altogether. Give it pre-digested
food. PASKoLA will help it along till it
gets better
You cannot keep up without eating, yet
if your stomach rebels, medicine will never
make it work right. PASKOLA will. But
then PASKOLA is not medicine.
EVERYBODY knows that PASKOA is a pre-
digested food, made of grains and fruits
and that it is relished by the weakest
stomach. EVERYBODY who has tried it, has
experienced after meals that delicious sense
of perfect digestion exhilaration, added
strength and increased appetite that every
body knows can only be produced by
PASKOLA. Why not try what bottle will
do for you?
DR.. G. W. Babcock, of Chelsea Mass, says:

\ person who has never been in the po-
lar regions can have no idea of what cold
is. When we have the temperature down
to 10 degrees or 10 degrees above zero, we
think it bitterly cold, and if our houses
were not as warm as at least 80 degrees
above zero we should begin to think of
freezing to death. Think, then, of living

DIR. Moss of the polar expedition of 1875
and 1876, among other odd things, tells of
the effect of cold on wax candle which
he burned there. The temperature was 80
degrees below zero, and the doctor must
have been considerably discouraged when,
upon looking ut his candle, he discovered
that the flame had all it could do TO keep
warm. 1t was so cold that the flame could
not melt all the wax of the candle, but
was forced to cut its way down, leaving a
sort Of skeleton Of the candle standing.
There was heat enough however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, and the result was a beautiful lace
