A Mysterious Accident.

An accident Of mysterious nature oc-
cured at Somesville, near Hall Quarry,
last Sunday afternoon.
The thirteen year-old son OF Ambrose
Colt, with two boy companions, was
walking along the road when suddenly
they were startled by an 'explosion," as
they termed it, A moment afterward the
Colt boy felt peculiar sensation In
his hand, and on looking at it was sur
prised to find two fingers nearly severed.
He did not know before that he was in
jured Soon afterward he felt pain in
one eye.
When medical attendance was secured
careful examination showed that beside
the loss of two fingers, the eye was badly
injured, cut extending in a downward
direction across the iris. His face was
speeked with what appeared to be small
pieces of rock, and his coat was cut un :
der one arm. The vision of the injured
eye will probably be destroyed.
DIR. j. +. Manning, Of this city, who
was called on the case, is much mystlfied
as to the cause OF the injuries. He be-
lieves the most plausible theory yet ad
vanced is that some one discharged a
rifle, and the ball, striking a rock near
the boys, glanced off, the flattened bullet
severing the fingers and the small frag-
ments of rock shattered by the bullet in
fiicting the injury to the eye and face.
Neither of the other boys received the
slightest injury.

very short.

ness for the prosecution was Miss Bessie

peared for defendant and County Attor-
ney Clark for the prosecution. The jury
was out but short time and returned
with verdict of not guilty
William Donovan, OF Bucksport, who
pleaded guilty to the charge Of cruelty to
animals, was fined SIS and costs.
Llewellyn p. Alley, the North Els
worth wife beaten, who was found guilty
Of assault, at the October term of court,
and on whom sentence was suspended on
exceptions taken by his counsel, was
brought into court for sentence, counsel
having withdrawn exceptions. He was
sentenced to five months in the county
Jail
| The assault for which Alley has twice
been tried and found guilty was COM
mitted on the 25th Of July last. The de-

posed will make the total term OF his i'm
prisonment fifteen months.

In 1894 Japan had 1854 miles Of railroad,
one-half OF it having been built during
the four years preceding. China, up to
date, has only about 100 miles, but the
initial prejudice against it is not so
violent as formerly, either in the court or
among the people. The empress dowager
has been won over to the side of the rail-
ways, and she is and has been tremen-
dous power there, shaping the whispers
as well as the trumpetings OF the throne,
and her accession to the ranks Of progress,
with LiHung Chang and Prince Kung at
their head, must be looked upon as Of
great Importance.
An Ohio town has petitioned the post
master general to have its post office
named "Trilby." Various constructions
may be put on this conduct 1t may be a
delicate intimation that this is a town
that "gets there with both feet" or that
it wishes to pose as model to all the
world. But the application should be re-
fused. Should such a name be sanctioned
by official authority, there is no knowing
to what extremes other Western fadists
might go. Decadents in the unripened
West might wish to rename their prosaic
Brownsviles and Jonesburgs, and call
them "Dodo" or "Ibsen." There would
be nothing to prevent a town calling
itself "Kreutzer Sonata" and st. Paul
and Minneapolis might desire to be
known as sThe Heavenly Twins"
