The Galloway (Neb.,) Courier has this
endearing notice of Rev. C. A. Luce who
recently attained notoriety at Brownyille:
"The Rev gentleman referred to lin
the headiine) is none other than the silver
haired sport who held down the pulpit Of
the Methodist church in Galloway last
spring and whose last ministerial work
here was assisting Rev. Nr. Hoopingarncr
to whoop 'em up in foGsiDg revival
which temporarily converted the whole
community. As soon as the true inward
ness of Lucc's character began to unfold it
self to his congregation here they granted
him permanent vacation, and the re
vcrcnd fraud sought new pastures. He
was next heard Of in Kansas and then
lost track of. -
The terrible accident at Bath, Tuesday
morning, in which one lady met her
death, and gentleman and lady were seri-
ously injured, Should be n warning to the
people who recllcssly drive upon railroad
crossing without either thinking whether
a train is due or noticing whether one is
then approaching. a safe rulc to follow
in approaching all crossings unprotected
by gates or fiagmen is to stop your team
and investigate. Had the driver of the Ill
fated Bath hack observed this simple
precaution, the terrible accident would
have been avoided.
The loss of the Biddcford city building,

great things in the way of development
ought to be heard.
The Washington county grand jury re
ported but two indictments; one for man
slaughter and one for receiving stolen
goods These cases are bad enough, but
Washington county appears unusually
free from crime.
Now may be expected the annual har-
vest of coasting accidents most of them
by reckless coaster on crowded public
streets. The lads and lassies should have
plenty of chances to slide but they should
be confined to safe localities.
