A PURE child, like ray of sun

associations is essential to wholesome
development, yet normal and

with great deal of roughness and

This can only be, however, when the

atmosphere of a pure, elevated,

very pleasant event was the celebra-
ton OF the ninth anniversary of the marriage
OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. +. Lippincott, on the
evening of May l4th. About 20 of their
friends gathered at their pleasant home on
Irove street, to wish them many happy
returns of the day. Music was rendered
BY Miss Efiie Stevens of Waterville, which
was much enjoyed by all those present.
Misses Daisy and Lulu Black sang a duet
which was entitled, ave Greet YOU"
which was very heartily spplauded. A
pleasing feature of the evening was The
reading by Miss Stevens of poem of her
own composition. Bountiful refreshments
were served, and after an hour of social
enjoyment the guests departed, carrying
with them pleasant memories of a most
enjoyable evening. The presents were
many and beautiful, many coming from
friends far away. Certainly it will be long
ere the occasion can be forgotten by any
present, and especially by the happy couple
who were honored by it.

The Glories of Free Trade.

Sir Edward Sullivan, an eminent
Englishman, asserts that "since 1876
the value of lands and the income from
farms have fallen from 80 to 80 per
cent, but the interest on the mortgage
remains the same" He quotes Lord
Derby as stating that the losses of Eng
lish landowners have been $500, 600,
600 equal to 81, 459, 500, 600 in United
States money!, and he estimates the
losses of tenants at 5000, 00O, 900. Hun
areds of thousands of acres have gone
but of cultivation within 10 years. All
this in glorious free trade country!

BEST IN THE STATE.
4 croquet Ground That Is the Delight Of All
Players.

Augustus croquet experts are famou.
throughout the State and their fame has
even reached beyond. They have fought
many battles royal and the honors won are
valued more highly than precious stones.
There are now five players in this city
that have played for many years together
Capt. Melville Smith, DR.. VIM. McDavid,
DR.. II. j. Frederick, A. P. Small and A.
II. Chadbourne. The number was origi-
nally six, but was broken by the death of
Prof. Capen.
This quintet has the pleasure of now
playing on the finest ground ir. the State,
having been entirely rebuilt this season.
1t Is located at A. II. Chadbourne's resi-
dence on Weston street, is made after the
most approved rules for a clay and sand
ground and is beauty.
1t measures 70x4O feet or 10 feet longer
than last season, and is bounded by four
inch board guard wall, painted green. The
wickets are of the latest pattern, painted
yellow, are but four and half inches
across and are laid out accordingly to the
latest regulation design.
The balls are but three and one-q quarter
inches in diameter, of solid rubber. The
mallets are short handled, lignum Vita
weapons, weighing three and one-half
pounds.
So hot do the contests sometimes become
that they are prolonged into the night, and,
indeed, games are often started in the
evening, two enormous gasoline lights, of
intense brilliancy, furnishing an artificial
day for the croquet friends.
Heretofore it was no uncommon thing
for one of these players to go clear around
the grounds in one play, but the additional
10 feet in length has so far bothered 'em all.
1t is the ambition of each now to perform
that feat. You'll hear of it when it is done.

ACCIDENTALLY INJURED.
coroner and Jury Say Elmer ksIIsits's Death
Happened That Way.

The inquest regarding the accident to
Elmer Kellette at Yarmouth Junction. was
continued, Tuesday, before Coroner Libby.
Milton M. Fits, baggage master and switch
man at that place was examined by the jury
He has been employed there three years.
The section of track on which Kellette was
;o;u,ed was known as Pratt's branch.
Kellette was standing on the pilot of the
engine. The engine was moving very slow.
Mr.. Fits thought it was Jenney coupling
m the car. Kellette had the pilot pin in his
loft hand and the shackle in his right and
resting over his right leg. 1t was the third
attempt to couple the engine to the car, and
this being the fact, extra caution was being
exercised on the part of the train hands.
svitcbman Fits was standing about 25 feet
from the engine. Kellette was endeavoring
IN couple to the car, which was New York
Central & Hudson River car, and was empty.
and Fits thought it was an old one. Mr..
Fits could not positively say whether or
not the shackle entered the coupling, but
thought it probably slipped underneath. He
thought Kellette stopped over when the
sbackle dropped down. Kellette said,
crack up a mite" and he (Fitts) gave
motion to the fireman and he to the engi-
neer to back up little. Then he saw
Kellette roll off outside the track. KEEL
lette said, "Why didn't | jump" When
being carried into the station and cared for
he kept saying, II am gone"
Mr.. Fits said he couldn't give any rea-
son for the accident, as all were working
with care. 1t was thought probable that
the shackle glanced down the side Of his
leg and pinned him so that he could not get
out before the engine ran against the car.
The car was not taken out that day, but
was hauled out the next day by another en-
zine. 1t is quite often the case when more
than one attemp. has to be made before a
coupling was secured. The car is now at
Yarmouth Junction. The jury decided that
the injury was purely accidental and caused
by the heavy shackle fastening Kellette be-
tween the engine.
The coroner and jury rendered the fol-
lowing decision "Elmer Kellette came to-
his death at his home in Augusta, in the
county of Kennebec, at about IL z. NJ,
Friday, May IL, from injuries received on
the same day at about 3 o'clock at Var
mouth Junction in the county of Cumber-
land, at point on the M. G. r. r. near
said company's station in attempting to
shaCkle the engine to an empty car to
connect with freight train No. 81 going
east, the deceased standing on the pilot of
the engine and holding in his hands the
long shackle to enter the drawbar on the
car to connect in same way failed to couple
and said shackle being turned out of place
striking the deceased across the right hip
and leg and abdomen, causing internal in
juries which resulted in death as above
stated, and the jury find that no blame is
attached to said railroad company or any of
its employees"
