badly in her rudder posts. The leak was

especially as the wind was against him.

THE GRAND TRUNK.
Five Thousand Pounds to be Spent on
wharves al Portland.

At the meeting of the Grand Trunk
shareholders in London Thursday Sir
Charles Rivers Wilson justified tho ap-
pointmert Of Mr.. Hays, their general
manager. and Mr.. Smith of the Central
Vermont. as receivers OF the Central
Vermont He added that the Central
Vermont was in a critical condition
and the board Of the Grand Trunk feared
that other creditors of the road would
step in.
Sir Charles. farther announced that 5000
pounds was to be spent il Portland, Me-.
for wharves. He stated that an agrees
ment had been concluded with the Cana
dian Pacific road for 81 years, whereby
the Grand Trunk conceded running pow
ers to the rival road from Hamilton to
Toronto, in order to avoid the extension
OF the Toronto Hamilton and Buffalo
line to Toronto.
The relations of the Grand Trunk with
the Canadian Pacific, he said, were most
friendly. He hoped to bring the Cana
dian Pacific into the Rates Association.
Turning 10 the prospects of the Grand
Trunk, the president said the board of di-
rectors had succeeded to damnosas heredit-
as. The improvement must be gradual.
But, he was pleased to say, the weekly
returns were steadily increasing.

Few bananas are raised within the

KILLED BY A PIN PRICK.
The Story of Man Whose Imagination
Caused His Death.

(EEOm 6n6 washington SGaE.
Gin my opinion" remarked the college
professor, who rose from the ranks
during the last war to the position Of
colonel, ''the imagination of men does
more injurygto the cause of courage than
all the appliances of war yet discovered. :"
Gin other words" caromed Star re-
porter, "if a man didn't think he
wouldn't be afraid of anyt hing"
"That's about it, admitted the pro-
fessor. 81 had rem arkable case happen
TO me during the battles around Rich
mond. That is to say, 1t happ ened to
another man, but WAS part of it. It
was on skirmish liue, and was lying
behind log with two other men-I was
only private then--one Of whom was
an inveterate joker, and the other was
one of the imaginative kind of soldiers
In FACT he was so imaginative that he
was almost scared out OF his wits, and
when the bullets and shells began flying
through the woods, cutting off saplings,
clipping limbs all around as and bark
ing the top of the log behind which we
lay, thought the fellow would burst a
bloodsvessel or go crazy or do Some other
fool thing unbecoming soldier. Tom,
the ioIer, noticed the mans terror and
called my attention to it.
'sYhen he reached out and dragged
In stick cut from the tree above US BY
asbullet, and fixing q pin in it proceeded
to have his fun. The man was at the
far end of cur log, ten feet from Tom,
and I was just beyond Tom on the other
SIDE and, am free TO confess, was ner-
vous enough to wonder at Toms manner
at such time However, l couldn't
help watching has movements, and actu-
ally laughed to see him sliding the pin
pointed stick along toward the unsus-
pscting victim. Having got it TT the
right distance he waited for a smashing
volley of ballots, and just as it came he
prodded the soldier in the back with
the pin. Well, it was really funny to see
the chap jump and yell and roll over,
and we both fairly howled. But it
wasn't so funny when the man didn't
move after his FIST startled action, end
Tom looked around at me In scared
kind of way. His surprise found express
sion in an oath, and he called to the
man. There was no answer, and he called
again, with the same result. Then he
crept over to him and gave him q shake.
r hat brought no response either, and
Tom ragged him around SO he could
see his face. 1t was an ashy blue, with
the eyes staring wide open, and she man
was as dead as Julius Caesar, with never
mark on him save. perhaps that one
pin scratch in his back. !"
i 1T should think your joking friend
could never have forgiven himself for
that cruel joke" suggested the writer.
"I'm sure he never would have" oon-
cluded the professor, because Tom was
a good fellow and brave soldier, but
he never had much of chance to, for
when the next volley came he was on
his knees beside his dead comrade try
ing to do something for him, and his
head was just high enough above the log
for a she'll to clip the whole top of It
off,"

A CONFEDERATE INCIDENT.

(Raleigh On. G. News and Observer
met In negotiating its recent loan sbrings
to mind an incident in the financial his
tory of the late confederacy not generally
known, and which may be interesting and
Instructive to recall. In the winter of
1929 the confederate congress decided

came over here to confer with the au-
thorities at Richmond, Va. in the mat
ter strongly urged upon Mr.. Meminger,
the secretary of the treasury, and upon
the joint committee Of the congress the
advisability Of making the loan one. or
two, or five hundred millions, stating
that it would be entirely practicable to
negotiate such loan; and gave as rea-
son that it would be most desirable to get
his country and other European states
financially interested in the Confederate
cause.
AS the payment of the loan was to be
contingent upon the success of the
South. those thus financially interested
could be expected to exert an influence
force their respective governments to re-
cognize the Independence Of the southern
states, and lend them valuable aid, as q
means of securing the payment of their
money thus subscribed.
1t appears that Secretary sMemingei
favored the suggestion of the French
banker, but the congress decided to adj.
here to it's first discrimination; and in
February, 1868, the loan was placed on
the Paris bourse. When the result was
announced it astonished Europe and con-
voted the confederate authorities of d
failure III craftsmanship. Bids amount.
ing to more than $780, 600, 600 were made.
It is idle now to speculate as to what
effect on the prosecution Of the war the
investment Of 80 large sum of money
by the people of France in the fortunes Of
the confederacy would have had; but it ID

Hon. Lewellyn Powers on che Prospect.


Yesterday, Hon. Llewellyn Powers,
who was stopping at the Falmouth hotel,
said he was much pleased at the outlook.
What we must aim to do" said he, sis
to keep our majority up to that of two
years ago. The Democracy Is SO divided
over the currency question that its lead
ers cannot hope for any SUCCESS in this
state. either in the national or state
campaign, Notwithstanding the nominal
ton Of Maine man on the national
ticket. believe that but little impress
sion will be made on tie people of Maine
by the Democratic Populist orators. of
whom I expect to see large number
sent into this state during tho cam
paign."
Mr.. Powers advocates an early opening
of the campaign by the Republicans in
Maine so that they mag be in full possess
sion of the field before the Democratic
financial split is mended and the state
flooded with that party's campaigners.
He expects that the Demon attic state
committee will use the utmost endeavor
to fix up things SO that MIR. Winslow, the
gubernatorial candidate, may count on
the support of both the silver and gold
bugs of his party.
