Slipped from the Top of an ley
Car.

Wheels Went Over Both Legs-Poor Eel
low Died on the Way to the City.
Richard Muir, residing at Bartlett, N
h., freight brakeman on the Mountain
division of the Maine Central railroad,
met with an unfortunate accident which
caused his death about O. 'clock Satur-
day evening at Hart's location, Carol
county, Sawyer's river, N. H.
Mr.. Muir was breaking on train 229.
The weather had been very disagreeable
with sleet and mist all day long and the
train was running very slow. When near
Sawyer's river, Mr.. Muir, who was on
the top of the car. walked along to set
the brake, when it is thought he must
have slipped and fell down between the
cars. the wheels passing over both legs.
The right leg was out off close to the
body and the left leg broken and badly
mangled. His fellow brakeman heard
his cries and the train was stopped
Kind hands lifted him tenderly into
the car ana rything possible was
done to alleviate his sufferings.
DR.. Frink Of BARTLETT, N. H.. was noti-
fed at once, and a special train COM
posed Of an engine and oaboose started
Immediately for Portland with the in
jured man. A message was sent ahead
station to take tho man to the Maine
General hospital. The special train ar
rived in this city about midnight, hay
ing made the run in one and one-hali
hours.
On down trip everything possible WAS
the men on the train, but Mr.. Muir
breathed his last just before reaching Sc
bago Lake, and it was a sad party that
arrived at the Union station. Mr..
Muir's injuries were 30 severe that ii
was impossible to entirely stop the flow
of blood, even after he had been placed
on the special train and the floor of the
car was covered with it when the train
reached Portland.
Mr.. Muir had been in the employ of
the Maine Central railroad for several
years and was..a young man well-liked
by all his associates. He was about 81
years of age and unmarried, and has
an aunt and brother living in BARTLETT,
N. H. He was member OF the Maine
Central Relief.
The body was taken to Rich's under
taking rooms and Coroner Perry will
have charge Of the remains.

United States We're 'esolute in upholding.
d This criticism g onl5 small pafss :
of the liberal OH, .29n 10 tho policy OF
the government.
1t is now asked every day by both llb-
eral and unionists why it is that the gov
ernment allows the trouble to drag oil.
Since Lord Salisburys dispatch to Sec
rotary Olney and Mr.. CleveIand's message
to Congress ignited American feeling,
three mem bers of the cabinet, Hon. A.

Hon. Joseph Cham berlain, secretary OF

have declared their approval of the Mon
roe doctrine.
While, as far as known, Lord Salisbury
has taken no decisive diplomatio action
to reconcile the Washington government
or to get the dispute settled by proposing
such arbitration as would find favor IN
the United States, d strong minority in
parliament will be found urging that
there should be no delay in the solution
of the difficulty, and that Great Britain
should not even wait for the report of the
American high commission, but rather
that she should restore at once tho most
friendly relations by some mode of arbi-
tration akin to Mr.. Moreley's suggestion
for the appointment of a commission to
be composed of an equal number of repre-
sentatiYes of the United States, Great

The Horrible Fate of 200 Little Children
in Armenia.
Boston, February IA letter has been
received in Boston. describing the sit
uation in Haajin, Central Turkey.
! The writer says: lawful massaores
have recently taken place in almost
every town and city within the district
covered by Eastern Turkey.
"Hadjin is the only town in ths interior
which has SO far escaped. 1t appears that
the Turkish army has not yet been able to
retake Zeitoun. Until this is decided one
way or another we cannot hope for tran
guilty or order in this region. The gov
ernment supposes that Hadjin and the
Chris tians in Marash want to aid lei
toun and that we are but waiting for a
favorable opportunity to JOIN the rebel
ion. But SO far as Hadjin is concerned
at least, there is no such thought enter
tained by the Christians here.
s'We have had no word from MaTash
for two weeks" the letter says.
1t appears that on November 18 many
were slain there, and that part of the
city also was destroyed by fire.
As many as 1900 are said to have been
Killed in Aintab. In Giurium, town
two days journey from Hadjin, 1000
Christians are said to have been massa-
cred. while 200 little children were

sALIssURY's SILENCE.
His Inaction Regarding Venezuela Great
ing Criticism.

London, February 1.-THE speech de-
livered by Prime Minister Salisbury last
night was very disappointing for the
reason that he gave no indication that he
was doing anything to settle the trouble
with the United States, and also for the
reason that his statement concerning Ar
menia showed that there was little, II
any, hope of the British government
doing anything to mitigate the evils in
that afflicted part OF the Turkish domin-
ions.
Within the past De- nonth liberal opinion
has set strongly against Lord Salisbury s
treatment of the Venezuelan question.
In his address to the electors at Ar
breath Thursday night Mr.. John Morley,
formerly chief secretary for Ireland in
Mr. GladGtone's last administration, said
that Lord Salisbury ought to know that

Canada Wants an Army.

Ottawa, Ont. February LIN his bud
get speech last evening, Mr.. Foster esti-
mated that the revenue for the current
year would amount to S37, 600, 900, and
the expenditures would also be about
$37, ,000, 000 During the current year, be
said, the public debt would be increased
$4,000, 0U0
In the year 1s96-97, Mr.. Foster estima.
ted, the expenditure would be about $3s,
600 900 and the revenue would meet this
expenditure. He pointed to the rumors
of trouble which existed few months
ago between Great Britain and the
United States, and gave this as q good
excuse for increased expenditure on the
militia. He then. made an elaborate de-
fence of the protective tariff.
ST Richard Cartwright replied to Mr.
Foster He declared that the govern
mont were tools in tho hands of manipu-
lators of combines, and falsified every
pledge they made to the people. Ali pre-
dietions made by himself and Mr.. Mao
kenzie in 1873 against the protective sys-
tenn had been verified. He disputed the
statement of Mr. Foster that protection
had increased our exports. He cited one
item of exports, that OF household effects.
to the United States, which amounted
to 81, 300, COO, and which he attributed to
tho resuld OF protection. The national
policy had driven the owners of those
household effects from Canada to seek
homes III tho United States
Sir Richard said the reform party, be-
cause of it's advocacy OF the revenue tar
iff, was the enemy OF the manufacturers.
AS TO the expenditure of S3S coo, COO, ii
was wholly unjustifnble Canada was
one of the worst governed countries
under the sun What Canada had to dc
was TO cut down its estravagance. He
gave statistics to show that Canada was
moro prosperous under a revenue tariff
than under the protective system. Ci
every sever emigrants who came to this
country six Of them found their way to
the United States.

DEERING.
PROTEST AGAINST MOvETO ABOL.
ISH DEEKING POLICE.

To the Editor Of the Press:
As resident of Deering I desire to
enter an early protest against the move
that is threatened to abolish the police
protection that we now enjoy. We have
chosen to be city, and I think that the
wisdom Of this course is very apparen
to almost anyone, In our improved CON
dition in many ways. Sidewalks, light.
fire and police, street sewers, and in the
general management of our affairs.
We are making a rapid and healthy
growth consequent upon just these
things, and the fact that we have city
improvements, is an Invitation for peo-
pie to come and reside with us. Now we
cannot afford to check this much to be
desired condition by q mean and mig
gardly appropriation for such necessary
municipal machinery rs the fire and po-
lice departments. We have made good
beginning and think both departments
are in very worthy hands and it only re-
mains for us to furnish the tools, to en-
courage rather than discourage, the off,
GERS who are trying to do their duty. We
must not expect one policeman to guard
the whole of Deering SO tha5 no breaks
or other disturbance can occur, but
rather consider if it is not better to pay
more and have consequently more pro-
lection. The same with the fire depart
ment. We need lots of things, and I am
told that one great need is more hose,
and that we must have good steamer
in the centre of this city will be made
conspicuously apparent. When we wake
up some night and see half of our village
laid low, as it certainly will be, our de-
partment will do all it can, but it re-
mains for us to strengthen their hands
and to encourage them by a liberal ap-
probation of their efforts in our behalf
and furnish such apparatus as is needed
and up to date.
Yours for the good of Deering,
b. II. MPSON.

General Garcia win Try once More TO
Reach Cuba.

New York, February 1.-Gen Calixto
Garcia will. it was stated positively
last night, make u second attempt to
lead a filibustering expedition to Cuba
within few days. Preparations for the
venture were begun on Monday last as
soon as the fate of the j. W. Hawkins
was learned by the junta.
| The Veasey, fishing steamer, similar
| in size and trim TO the Hawkins, and
owned by the American Fish Guano
Company from which the Hawkins was
purchased, has been selected for the ex-
pedition. The Veasey is now in Virginia
| waters, headed for New York
She was purchased in Norfolk on Tues
day last by a Mr.. Chase, who claimed to
| be New York fish guano dealer. Gen
Garcla will be accompanied by General
Collazo, and it is said that the expedition
will be one of the largest that ever left
this country.
The Veasey does not appear in the
United States list of merchant vessels
| for 1895. The loss of the Woodail and
| Hawkins was preceded by the probable
loss of the tug Mascot, which is believed
| to have gone on

unreported from any source.
1t is said that the Winchester repeating
arms company and the Metallic cartridge
company, both of Bridgeport, Conn,
have large contracts for furnishing wal
material to the Cubans. While these
companies admit that they are over
crowded with work, they deny that such
| contracts exist
| About two months ago an expedition
| was fitted out at bridgeport and landed
safely in Cuba. A number of men liv-
| ing in Bridgeport were known to enlist
| in the Cuban cause and suddenly disap-
peared at the time the expedition is said
to have sailed. None of them have re-
turned and those who left families have
not communicated with them.
The expedition, it is said, was under
the direction OF Col. L. j. Murphy and
some of the members of the First Regi-
ported to have been loaded in the sound
and the arms transferred to her through
the agency of oyster dredgers, which
were used

| No shipment of arms purchased else
where was received at Bridgeport at the
time.
The steamer Isabelle, which is owned
by McMahon & Wren of Bridgeport
who control nearly all of the large brew
cries of Connecticut, was towed to this
city on Wednesday for repairs. She is a
propeller and perfectly seaw worthy.
She has been making excursions all
over the sound and was recently takeI
some distance out to sea to test her ca
pacity for voyage. These facts Led te
| the rumor that she was going to take
another expedition to Cuba.
