tain and play at second. Tom was per
fectly satisfied with the terms and pro-
phecies successful season.
Manager Smith of the Pawtuoket team
will report in that city, April /. He will
have hts hands full in making selections

difficulty in selecting a team that will set
the pace for the other clubs in the league
1t is said that Forrid, the pitcher who
accepted the terms of the Lewiston club, a
week ago, and now has contract from
that club, has signed with the St. Louis
league team, and if this is so the New
England League had better take stems
Immediately to see whether it has any
rights which are to be respected. Forrid
pitched eight winning games out Of 10
against the clubs of the PENNSYLVANIA
state league, last season, for the Shamo-
kin, Pa, team.
An interesting spectacle that Bowdoin

of base ball played with the players wear
Ing snowshoes. The game was arranged
to be played, Saturday, on the Delta. but
Tor some reastn was postponed. The OPP
posing teams are to be picked without re-

Particulars Of the GreenviIe Accident--Potato
Shipments Jones Party Returns Home.

Bangor, Feb. 6.-Mr. J. d. Mulvaney of
this city, was on the train which was
wrecked ON the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
Tuesday morning. He writes to a friend
in this city that the accident took place a
mile and a half from Greenvile, and the
cause of the train leaving the iron was the
spreading of the rails, not il broken rail,
as was stated in Wednesday nights pa
pers. The accident was in deep
ledge cut and the whole train, including
the engine, left the track. There were
nearly 100 passenges on the train. Mr..
Mulvaney says the engineer showed great
presence of mind in bringing the train to
a standstill as soon as he did, for if it had
gone so feet further the cars would have
gone over a high embaDkment into Moose
head lake and the loss of life would have
been terrible. The passengers were taken
back to Moosehead Inn and Landlord
Walker, at the request of the Railroad
Company, served them breakfast at the
company's expense. \ wrecking train

NOTES OF ART AND SCIENCE.


Milk may be sterilized,. says the
Scientific American, by passing
through it an alternating electric cur
rent.
A German contractor has recently re-
ceiVed a concession to build electric
railways in the suburbs Of Teheran,
Persia.
Electrical sewage publication is a
very promising solution Of the sewage
problem. 1t Is calculated that one
electrical horse power will purify $4,000
gallons of sewage in ten hours.
White lead for paint is now produced
by electrolysis, and is said to be a very
much better article than that produced
in the old way.
In Germany high grade butter has
been made from sterilized milk by the
addition of pure cultures Of the proper
bacteria to produce coagulation.
A cubic foot Of air at the pressure
used in firing the Fort Point dynamite
guns-2,OOO pounds per square inch
weighs something over ten pounds.
The dust and small chips from tur-
quoise polishing can be made up into
artificial stones by means of hydraulic
pressure that puzzle the best experts.
Antitoxin shortens the time needed
for the retention of the tubes in the lar
ynx in cases of Group and diphtheria,
according to Dr. Bokai of Buda-Pesth.
A machine has been invented that
very much simplifies wire-drawing. A
single operator can produce with this
machine from 80 to 100 pounds Of wire
a day, and wire so fine that $4,000 feet
are required to make pound.
Asphalt in large quantities has beer

be found in that vicinity. The Turk

Back of Alton, Va, in the mountains
there lives a queer old man who is a
born trapper and hunter. He owns a
little farm at the foot Of the ridge on
which he raises corn and other produce
but it is chiefly valuable to him because
It has a number Of running brooks
which furnish homes for myriads Of the
little furbearing animal the musquash,
better known as the muskrat. The
trapper carefully protects the little anil
mails and will allow no trespassing on
his preserves. He has fenced off In
many places wet spots in the swaley

nests undisturbed by the poacher or
neighboring dogs. His furs he care

Horses That Take Frequent Baths.

From the Portland Daily Press: The
horses which are used in the KennebeC
ice fields are so accustomed to dropping
through the ice that they don't seem to
mind it. They are yanked out little

medicine like the chickens beonging to
