more therefore than might have bean

danger of precipitating conflict be-

doubtedly very large body of Cuban

only be too glad to see collision be-

Senate resolutions standing alone that
forms any sufficient reason for all this

THE FLOODS.

La many ways Sundays flood was one
81 the most remarkable ever experienced
IN this State. 1t came with great sud
denness, and the damage that it has
done is immense. The loss of bridges
alone will involve very great expenditure
OF money to repair. The canceiling of
all the trains on the Maine Central and
Grand Trunk road yesterday practically
stopped travel all over the State, and for
twenty four hours the public had a chance
to judge of the condition it would be
in without railroad communication. The
loss to private property, such as mills.

has been very little loss of life. But the
loss OF property will prove serious blow
to the State for some time to come.

A CLOSE SHAVE.
Seven. year. Old Boy Run Over by a Team
Badly Cut.

A positively miraculous escape Sat
urday morning. was that of little Am
mond Cormier, the 7-years- old son OF
John Cormier.
The little fellow was run into. and
over, by milk wagon. driven by
George Leidecker of Sidney; and why
he wasn't killed. nobody knows. AS il
was, he had a piece scraped from the
left side of his head as big as the palm
of ones hand: had a bad cut over the
right eye: and was also hurt about the
legs. He was picked up and taken to
the office of DR.. r. J. Martin. where
his cuts We're dressed. The doctor re-
boy was getting better. and that no in
ernal injuries, which had been feared,
had developed He will probably re-
cover
1t seems that Almond. in company
with other boys, were crossing Bridge
street, on Water street. opposite the
store of Hebert & Shea. in the direc-
ton of Devine & Coughlins. The team
was going up Water street, and turned
in to cross the bridge. The two COM
panions stopped. but Almond kept on,
and was struck squarely by the horse,
and also by the team, which must have
passed over his legs.
The wound on the side Of his head is
thought to have been caused by the
horses hoof just grazing the head,
narrowly escaping crushing it.
1t is stated that Leidecker was not
going at particularly rapid rate: at a

Gently settled for case in which he

would result.
What is a very significant figure
which has been made regarding the
insurance business. is the returns to
the insurance commissioner of fees for
licenses issued during the year. These.
in 1895, amounted to $l0,2S5. an in
crease of $SSS over the previous year.
which latter showed the largest re-
turns of any up to that date.
Mr.. Carr says that the standard
fire insurance policy which all COM
panies are required by a law passed in
1895 to use in this State. has done
much to help the insurance bust
ness in this State. He. moreover, says
that the business is showing most
healthy increase. companies from other
states recognizing Maine as good
field for business.
More inquiries are being received at
the insurance department relating to
the admission of foreign fire COM
panies than for many years.
Thaddeus McFarlane was visitor at
the Capitol, Friday, on business with
the insurance commissioner. Mr.. Nc
Farlane is a Maine man, but, years
ago, went to Massachusetts,. and there
made his way up in the world. He has
now returned with his family to the

Mr.. Cummings spoke with much force
upon the spirit Of friendship, love and
truth on which the work of the order

1t all stands.
He said in part: Build your work.

the nervous system is necessity to
the human frame. 1t is necessary that
men should know one another, that
they may know when, and where each
needs help. The work of Jesus Christ
was to extend this help. and ii is the
performance of this example that your
order is striving. 1t appreciates the in
dependency of the human race Men
of all kinds of religious opinions, and
political opinions, are included among
its members
Mr.. Cummings spoke of the number
of men that belonged to the order in
this country, 100000 in ALL He spoke
of the assistance that the sickly, and
orphans had received. and the general
good fellowship which was felt among
its members.
The address was highly interesting
and forceful, and was keenly appreci-
ated by all present. The services in
cluded, singing from the chorus, which
was most acceptable. The organ play
