Hugh Began Deck Hand on the Made.
leine Injured.

Hugh Began, deck hand on the
steamer Madeleine, had narrow escape
from death Monday, while unloading
freight from the steamer at Centre Harp
swell. A new wharf has recently been
built at this place for the Madeleine,
and when the steamer reached there Mon
day afternoon the tide was very high,
and the steamers deck far above the
pier. The gang plank was necessarily at
great angle with the wharf, and was
fastened to the steamer by lanyard of
new rope. just as Began, with heavy
box was halfway down thu slippery plank
the lanyard on the steamer snapped, the
plank slipped and Began fell, striking his
head against the steamers guard as he
went down, and then falling into the
water, some feet below. Engineer B. M.
Seabury of the steamer, heard the splash
in the water, and jumped to Bogan's as
sistanoe just in time tosgrasp his clothing
as he was disappearing beneath the
waves. The man was unconscious and
bleeding freely from deep cash on the
back of his head, where he struck the
steamers side. Had 1t not been for Sea-
bury's prompt assistance Began would
probably have been drowned. AS it was he
was badly cut and injured and when the
steamer reached this city was sent to his
home under a PHYSICIANS care.

UNIDENTIFIED.
The Woman Found in the Dock OFF Long
Wharf.

Yesterday, Mr.. B. E. MoDonough. th,
undertaken, Coroner Hall. Deputy SHEER
if Buchanan and Constable Blake n
Yarmouth, went to Forest City cemeter,
to make examination of the body of fin
woman found floating off the end n
Long wharf Saturday. Constable Blak
went over because he lives next door to 6
friend in Yarmouth whose wife has been
missing since the fourteenth of May. On
that day the woman came to PORTLAND
with female friend, driving here from
that town. The friend, on her return
home, said that she left her companion
on the street in front OF Rines Bros. ant
did not see her afterwards. Nothing has
been heard from the :missing woman
since. she has left her husband anG
three children behind her.
The body was found, on examination
at the cemetery, TO be considerably de
composed. There were no signs of VIC
lenoe whatever about the body. Some Of
the flesh about one wrist was gone, and
it was evident that the fish had nibblet
the remains. One small one was found
In the box in which the body had beer
placed. The woman was a much taller
one than her apparent height indicated
when taken from the water. The offers
say they should judge the woman was
some five feet and five INCHES tall All
the clothing about the neck was neat and
not at all disarranged. The underskirts
were of q grayish material with red
stripe running through it, The stocking
were black and gartered above the knee,
and the carriers were gray. The shoes
were neat and stylish. The dress was
navy blue. The jacket was snugly but
toned across the chest with three buttons.
When the jacket was unfastened it was
seen that the front of the dress was
trimmed with gilt gimp braid on the
lapels. The woman had dark brown hail
of medium length. There was nothing
on the person of the woman by which to
identify her, not Dlark on the clothing,
no money, and no jewelry of any kind,
not scrap of paper.
UndertakerMoDon enough cut piecas from
all the garments the woman wore, and
gave portions Of them to Mr.. Blake, that
he might take them to Yarmouth for in.
detifcation. During the evening Mr..
Blake sent in word from that town that
they did not belong to the clothes worn
by the woman missing from Yarmouth.
So the re mains remain unidentified.

ness in this harbor and the pooling OF
their interests was made public yesterday
afternoon. The purpose of this oombina-
ton Of the two companies is for econom.
cal reasons, to save tho GOAL now burned
in chasing the vessels outside, and to do
away with 80 much competition. The
managers Of the two COM anies say that
no change in prioos will result from this
deal, and just as good, II not better, SER
vice will be given the shipping world.
The Maine Steam Tow Boat company

At the start off the ice trust seems to
have got the better of the combine of YES
sci owners who set schedule Of prices
for carrying ice to the Southern ports
Not all of the large ship owners come
into the com bine in the FIRST place, and
as the season has been very backward and
cold the demand for ice in the South has
not been very brisk, and as a result the
vessels outside of those who signed the
schedule of prices have been numerous
enough to supply the demands Of the Ice
trust, leaving the combine vessels out in
the cold. The ice trust is also using large
barges in conveying ice to New York,
and what little has been handled in this
way. 1t is claimed, however, that when
the hot weather comes, the demand in
the South for ice will be great, and then
the vessels in the combine will be able
to control the shipping and get almost
any price they want for shipping ice to
the Southern ports. Therefore the ship
owners as well as the ice men are anx-
iously waiting for hot weather.

James r. Artkins VS.. Edwin L. Field
Emery, j. IAN employe is RESPONSE
BILE to a co-emplye for injuries caused by
his negligence in the line of his duty to
the common employer.
2.-ThaJ the common employer approves
the conduct of an elnrloye without direo-
ting it, does not free the latter from his
responsibility to co-eDlploye If he was
in fact neg ligent.
3.-When an employe personally seleoas
the means and directs the mode of setting
up apparatus furnished by the Common
employer, he becomes personally respon-
sible to co-employes for injuries oaused
by his negligence in so doing, and the
fact that the work was satisfactory IN
the common employer, does not excuse
the employe from the consequences of
his negligence to others.
4.-lhe foregoing rule does not apnlr
where the common employer or his alter
60 directs and controls the means and
modes of setting up the apparatus. There
is responsibility only here there is free
dom of action.
5.-That party was unable to procure
the testimony of a particular witness in
season for the trial, is no ground for q
motion for q new trial. The proper conrse
for the party in such case is to move
the presiding Justice for the postponemsnt
