ESPECIAL TO THE PREss1
South Berwick, February 26.-As
George E. Cox, night watchman at Foy's
vision of the Boston and Maine railroad
was returning from his work this morn
ing, he was Mortified to see about mile
east Of Conway junction, man lying
across the rail of the track. Upon ex-
animation Mr.. Cox discovered the man
to be- stone dead, cut in two just below
the hips, one arm cut off and in other
ways most no rribiy muilated. Cox at
once started for Conway Junction, and
despatched a messenger to Coroner Free
man Q. Ham of South Berwick. who lost
no time in fastening to the scene and
impanelling jury. The man appeared to
be between 80 and 40 years of age, fair
iy we'll dressed, but was without an over
coat He had in his pocket purse with
few small bills in it and smaller
purse with some change. There was also
found in his pocket a letter addressed
to ii. G. Stewards, Kittery, Me-, and a
| copy OF tho rules and bylaws of the
Champerdowne Council, No. 5. Junior
Ords United American Mechanics, and
certificate to show that H. Chester
Stewards had joined the order February
| 3, 1896. A telegram was sent to Kittery
announcing the facts and Undertaken
Mcintyre of South Berwick has taken
charge of the body until Mr.. Seawards's
folks can come from Kittery to identity
it.
There seems to be considerable ques-
tion about what train caused the death
Of the man. A good waJoh. though bad
ly mutilated was found in his pocket,
stopped at about / O'Clock, and few
minutes past l. freight train No. 257
from Portland, registered at Conway
Junction; Conductor Sawyer and Engi-
neer Fair field. This might indicate that
he W as either walking son ths track and
was un over by that train, or WAS steal
ing ride and fell down between the
cars. On the other hand passenger train
No. 2, from Portland. passes this point
about $50 a. M, and 1t would seem that
had Mr.. Stewards been lying there at
that time the engineer Of that train
would have seen him. Some seem to
think that this man was passenger on
No. 2. and that in going from one car to
another he fell and was killed. Some
light may be thrown on this matter ct
the next hearing, which time is not
decided upon as yet. The only thing
known d efnitely now is that Mr.. Sea-
ward was in some way killed by train
ear ly this morning.

TEACHING LAW.

No teacher today can be considered

by long and careful preparation made
himself a master of the subject; and by
teaching the law I do not mean the de-
livery of learned disquisitions or lectures
upon the subject, but the use of such
methods as will enable the student to use
his own faculties in acquiring q knowl-
edge of the subject. Legal education has
shared in the advance which modern
methods have introduced into all depart
ments of learning. We are beginning to
recognize the tact that education does not
consist in the accumulation of facts,
however important they may be, but
rather in training the individual TO deal
with facts and to use them as stepping
stones for further rrogress. The subject
of legal education is to develop ot only
lawyers, but jurists. Some what of the
